Tokyo Feng Hua Lu

In the second year of Xining, the east corner tower of Bianjing was built. Shen Zhao woke up from his drunken dream and found that he was the young owner of a tea shop with a debt of 300 yuan. The uncles of the clan are watching with eager eyes, and the bullies block the door and demand debts, and even the ancestral property is almost lost. Fortunately, he was a trust company executive in his previous life and had a double-major in financial history. A basket of old Pu'er tea that was regarded as waste tea turned into "hundred-year-old tea" in his hands, and a tea fighting competition became famous in Bianjing. Pre-sale system, joint-stock system, credit system - these modern financial methods were brought to the Song Dynasty by him to resolve the debt crisis and conquer the bullies in the market. Even the mysterious owner behind Fan Lou extended an olive branch to him. However, what really changed his fate was the jade pendant engraved with the word "Hui Rou". Zhao Huirou, the eldest princess of Shu, heard his name while living deep in the palace. A night banquet at Fanlou and an audience in the palace, Shen Zhao stepped into the center of power of the Song Dynasty for the first time. Wang Anshi asked him about the pros and cons of the reform, but Sima Guang scolded him for being profit-seeking. Su Shi discussed poetry with him over wine - he did not support the new party or the old party, but only stood for practical results. From the shopkeeper of the tea shop to the magistrate of Duzhi, from the merchant ship of Bianhe River to the border gate of Xihe River, he became an official through businessman and used money as a soldier. Jiaozi anti-counterfeiting, border army garrison, prototype firearms, marine insurance - every reform is shaking the foundation of this ancient empire. And there is always a secret hidden in his heart: Fifty years later, the disgrace of Jingkang, the fall of Bianjing, and the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. What he was calculating was not a tea shop's debt, but the national destiny of the Song Dynasty.
