Throne of All Seas

Time travel to 1544, Shen Mo became a bankrupt maritime businessman heavily in debt. The ship was about to be repossessed and the people were about to be sold. In a desperate situation, he held a strange meeting with his creditors. "The debt cannot be repaid. But there are two ways in front of us." "One, sink me into the sea and you will lose all your money." "Two, debt-for-equity swap." He produced a "Partnership Agreement", the terms of which were so meticulous that the old accountant's pupils were shaking. "Give me a broken ship today, and I will give you a business empire spanning the seven seas in the future." From then on, the rules of Daminghai changed. The Portuguese fleet measured the world with artillery, and he used the Navigation Regulations and KPI assessments to delineate routes. The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River used water transportation to block the national line, and he used "maritime insurance" and standardized fleets to tear the country apart. When the emperor in Longyuan Palace finally put his name at the top of the execution list—— Shen Mo stood on the newly launched iron-ribbed wooden hull battleship and chuckled at the envoys from various countries behind him: "My opponent is never a Forbidden City." "I want to set new rules for this sea."
