The word "" (shào) has two meanings: first, to continue; second, to guide. In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Soon after, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the emperor, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst great anticipation, succeeding the Song Dynasty and changing the era name to Jianyan. However, within three months, Li Gang was dismissed as prime minister, Chen Dong was killed, Yue Fei was expelled from the army, Zong Ze was abandoned in Tokyo, and the anti-Jin deployment in Hebei was completely dismantled... After so many efforts, the civil and military officials finally unified their thinking and decided to support the Emperor Zhao's glorious anti-Jin route of heading south to Huaidian and then Yangzhou. However, as soon as he set off, after paying homage to the Taoist patriarch at the Mingdao Palace in Bozhou, this Zhao official plunged headfirst into the world-famous Nine Dragon Well. When he came out, he did not recognize who his trusted confidants were! I must resist the Jin! But where are my trusted confidants?! This is a sincere cry from a soul nine hundred years in the future. Having reluctantly inherited the name of the Song Dynasty, he is determined to guide the court and the world onto a new path. Therefore, it is called Shaosong.

The history of the late Ming Dynasty was chaotic and complex, and can be described as a history written by a few people with strong personal charisma. Whether it was rebels like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, rulers like Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan, or traitors like Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong, each of them had many stories. It was because of these wonderful stories that the history of the late Ming Dynasty became so grand and turbulent. To write this period of history well, we must naturally depict vivid characters, regardless of their stance. We stand on the edge of the long river of history and observe from the sidelines; they are merely a ripple in this long river. To observe the world with a critical eye is what we need to do now, and to observe history with a critical eye is also a pursuit in our lives. The river of history has flowed to our feet, and we can stand on its banks, ready to embrace our history.

Foreword: (Brief Introduction) A businessman who was once a teacher and his three teacher friends, during an expedition to Shennongjia, travel through time to the Three Kingdoms period (cliché, but I can't help it; if you're not satisfied, just throw your votes at me, -_-). Dissatisfied with the state of China at the time, they were deeply worried about the impending Five Barbarian Invasions. To avoid 300 years of suffering for the Han people, they rose up in this chaotic world, establishing a nation based on commerce. Utilizing their developed economy and advanced products, they created a more suitable social system for economic development, built a stronger army, and implemented their unification and colonial plans. Their vision had already transcended the struggles of the Central Plains, looking towards distant Rome and Egypt. As for Japan, it was merely a small step in their colonial plan. The book explores social structures, legal systems, official systems, and religious concepts, but this is purely fictional; readers should not draw parallels or take it seriously. Glory belongs to the Han people; criticism is mine. Just for your amusement.

Due to various issues, the book was unable to meet readers on schedule, and the editorial department received numerous inquiries from enthusiastic readers. We can only express our deepest apologies for this. As early as the beginning of February, we received hundreds of messages requesting to order "The Three Kingdoms of Business". Some readers even wired money to the company on the same day. However, we had some idea of ​​the book's publication schedule at the time, so we only replied to most of the voicemails asking them to wire money after the book was published. To this day, the company's inbox is still full of emails asking us to notify them to wire money after the book is published, which really touches us deeply. After repeated transfers, the first one hundred sets of books, signed by Master Chi Hu, have officially begun to be shipped out. The first batch of readers who made payment will receive their books first, and we will confirm with each of you based on your payment slips. The remaining four hundred books will be shipped out successively. Readers who have not yet made payment can still order this book from us; the price remains 25 yuan, with a 20% discount! (Also, some answers to frequently asked reader questions:) First: Because the later revisions are still under discussion, this book is expected to be completed in four or five volumes. If it is completed in five volumes, readers who have previously paid for a set of four volumes do not need to panic. You will also enjoy the same discount and autograph for the remaining volume. Second: Regarding overseas mail order, since our company does not have overseas business and the postage is high, it is difficult to process. If overseas readers really want to order, please check the postage at your local post office and then send it to our company. Three: Now we have two books, 1 and 2, each with 300,000 words, and the price remains unchanged at 25 yuan. For mail order inquiries, please call 021-63174943 or 021-63170956.

Dreaming of returning to Chang'an, the Xuanwu Gate was stained with blood, and the depths of the Taiji Palace were filled with endless sorrow. The resounding words "The people are the water, the ruler is the boat" still echoed across the land of Chang'an, but the iron hooves of foreign tribes once again trampled through the Jade Gate Pass. How can this hatred be satisfied? What kind of fury must Li Shimin, lying in his tomb, have uttered upon witnessing the suffering of his people? He pounded on the railings, only to see the land sinking into ruin! My heart was filled with frustration, and I wished I could cross the river of history, pluck stars from the sky, grasp the sun and moon, and turn the world upside down. So be it.

I was everywhere – from suppressing the feudal lords during the Jingnan Campaign, to moving the capital and revising the classics, to conquering the Mongols and going to Southeast Asia – yet no one knew I was there. Keep a low profile! Keeping a low profile is the key to success. His tortuous lifeline and the continuation of a passive fate led to his rise and counterattack. The seemingly powerless imposter reversed its passive situation and created a new landscape for the entire related environment! The turbulent struggle for the throne, the step-by-step reforms to weaken the power of the princes, the glorious moment of the Yongle Encyclopedia, the manipulation of the world by changing the capital, the pacification of the internal and external affairs, all the events, big and small, cannot erase his shadow or cover up his footprints in all the glory! The early Ming Dynasty was a period of constant turmoil. It was an era of receding instability, yet a group of heroes and ruthless figures stirred history, propelling the Ming Dynasty's rule to its first peak! In such a historical context, how did an ordinary person from modern times manage to manipulate events, intervene in such turbulent times, and achieve his own quiet brilliance?
