Shang Dynasty: I Regard the Emperor as a Puppet

Gu Changfeng, who was on death row in Liangzhou, was sentenced to death by the whole world. No one knows that inside him is the soul of a modern business giant. There is no system or martial arts, only wisdom that transcends the times can make a comeback. He created a way out with a piece of homemade soap and used distillation technology to create spirits that subverted the times. While the world is still trapped in power plots and military struggles, Gu Changfeng has launched a dimensionality reduction campaign: using assembly lines to improve efficiency, using financial leverage to leverage resources, and relying on supply chains to strangle lifeblood. His business empire spread quietly from prison. Banknotes woven into a network of interests covering both the government and the public, and all the powerful officials in the government were living within the rules he designed without even realizing it. The dynasty became his company, and the emperor was reduced to a puppet CEO constrained by the shareholding structure. When he finally stepped out from behind the scenes and stood calmly in the court, the world was shocked to discover that the so-called imperial power had long been a delicate and controlled chess piece in the territory of his business empire. The real dragon imprisoned in the shallows will eventually rise to the sky, using capital as its minions to reshape the laws of the entire era.
