Han Ding: from Peixian to Rome

In the first year of Qin II, Li Mu, a doctor of history, traveled through time and became a minor official in Pei County, gaining insight into the fate of all the characters in the troubled times of the late Qin Dynasty. He knew well that talent was the foundation of troubled times, and he took the lead in intercepting Hu Xiaohe, Zhang Liang, Han Xin and other talented people in the world. At that time, Liu Bang was still the pavilion chief and Xiang Yu was still in Jiangdong. By the time they woke up, all the talented people in the world had already joined Li Muchun. Li Mu followed the principle of "military merit must be redeemed, pensions must be paid, no killing of soldiers must be carried out, and no plundering of the people", and he established systems such as military merit points, imperial examinations, and supervisory censors that transcended the times. He refused to be crushed by golden fingers and worked step by step. Starting from the three counties of Peixian County, through the Battle of Julu, the three chapters of the Treaty of the Pass, and then to the establishment of the king, the Northern Expedition of the Huns, the Western Expedition, and the decisive battle with Rome, in sixty years, the empire was established that "everything the sun and moon shines on is Han". The core of the book does not lie in the country, but in the inheritance of the system. It ends with the old man in the teahouse of Peixian County telling the history, leaving the aftertaste of "He is gone, but his world is still there."
