The character has two meanings: expansion and clarity. During the Eastern Jin and Sixteen Kingdoms period, they braved the turbulent waters, determined to launch a northern expedition, first against the Five Barbarian tribes of the Central Plains, and then sweeping away the powerful clans and aristocratic families of the court. Their aim was to pacify the world, create a new era, and ensure the continuation of Chinese civilization. That's true in theory, but in the autumn of the fifth year of Yonghe (349 AD), when the time traveler arrived in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and became one of the most common refugees in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the first thing to consider was how to survive the winter and how to avoid falling below the death line. It's another clichéd time-travel story.

What achievements does Hengshan have?" "Mr. Yue's sister shop next door has an outdated business model and needs to learn from Leader Zuo's five-year plan." "The direction must be clear." "We need to build up our combat strength and develop our guilds!"

He then tried to do both farming and infrastructure construction, but there were always bad people hindering him. The traitor Wu Xi, arrogant and domineering, led 100,000 elite troops, using coercion and enticement; Mo Zheng smiled and said: "Wu family brat, killing you is to clean up your family's mess." Emperor Xuanzong of Jin was smug: "The Great Jin's 'Hooked Horse' is invincible." Mo Zheng scoffed: "I've built thousands of cities and fortresses in the Qinling Mountains, open them up for you to climb. Come on." Genghis Khan of Mongolia: Who dares to stop my Kheshig iron hooves! Mo Zheng smiled with his hands behind his back: "Temujin, there are no innocent souls under the iron sickle, no regrets under the golden hoe. I advise you, go west, do not look back, or you will be buried." Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuo, also wanted to speak; Mo Zheng glared at him: "Shut up!

In 1572 AD, there were still 72 years before the Ming Dynasty fell and the country was lost. At this time, Japanese pirates were rampant in the southeast, and Tatars were knocking on the gates in the northwest. Local annexation was becoming increasingly serious, the military and government were exhausted, and the people were suffering. Emperor Longqing had just passed away. At this moment, Shi Yue transmigrated into the body of Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor, who had not attended court for thirty years. The good news is that Zhu Yijun had not yet ascended the throne at this time. He didn't have time to wreak havoc on the government. The bad news was that Zhu Yijun had not yet ascended the throne at this time. Feng Bao, the Grand Eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial, wanted to become the spokesperson for imperial power. Grand Secretary Gao Gong wanted to sideline the emperor and strengthen the cabinet. Second Grand Secretary Zhang Juzheng was wholeheartedly in charge of implementing the new laws. His only hope came from his birth mother, Li, who would often force him to kneel and write a self-reproach edict. The crumbling edifice lies before us, a central hub rife with intrigue and power struggles. The nation is shrouded in misfortune, hence the title "King of the World." Now that I have ascended the throne, if I do not come to save the world, who will?
