The Maritime Merchant King in the Late Ming Dynasty

In the first year of the Apocalypse, programmer Shen Yan woke up at the beach. There is no system, no golden finger, only a burn scar on the palm of my hand, and a fleeting blue light on the distant sea. He is in Shacheng, a fishing village in southern Fujian. The sea is strictly prohibited and the fishermen are miserable. Smuggling is a way of life and death. Repairing fishing nets, changing salting methods, running smuggling operations - he used modern thinking to gain a foothold step by step in this world four hundred years ago, from "Mr. Shen who taught pickling" to the person who helped sea merchant Chen Jiu clear the sea route. But he soon discovered that knowledge can be exchanged for money, but not for life. Tax collectors are rampant, official ships are intercepting and killing people, and undercurrents are surging - in this era where fists are more effective than reason, if you don't be the best, you will be eaten. Ships from all over the world came to Yuegang. He stood on the dock and looked at the masts, and a hot thought came to his mind: sooner or later, these ships will have to listen to me. However, a strange symbol is closing the net behind him. Stone tablets, copper pieces, fragments, reefs - all the fragments pointed to the east, pointing to a mystery that he had not yet measured. The scar is heating up, and the copper piece is heating up, like a system that has been sleeping for four hundred years and is being awakened. He thought he was a time traveler. He didn't know that there was something waiting for him. From a fishing net to the entire sea, from the small village of Shacheng to the world's shipping routes. This is a long epic about ambition, choice and the mysteries of the deep sea.
