Cooking Up the Tang Dynasty

Meng Fan, a culinary school graduate, transmigrates to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He can whip up all kinds of delicious dishes with ease. He opens restaurants, builds factories, makes army rations, and establishes a bank. Before long, he becomes the richest man in the Tang Empire. When business thrives, he enters politics. He creates the Divine Machine Battalion, builds cannons, conquers Tuyuhun, and campaigns against Goguryeo, undefeated wherever he goes. His achievements are unmatched, and he rises to the highest rank in the court. Emperor Taizong asks, “How will you govern the realm?” Meng Fan replies, “Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish!”
