In the first year of the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, Li Shimin had just ascended the throne and been forced to sign the Treaty of the Wei River. Now he was grinding his teeth and sharpening his blade.
Just then, Chen Ping'an transmigrated and dropped right in front of Li Shimin. The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Li Shimin: “Are you an immortal?”
Chen Ping'an: “No, I'm an ordinary person.”
Faced with the young Tang Dynasty and an emperor marshaling his forces for war, Chen Ping'an turned out to have an extraordinary memory. Every experience from his previous life remained vivid, and from then on, he drew on his knowledge of history, online forums, and the sciences to lead the Tang Dynasty onto the path of industrialization.
Several decades later.
“Choo! Choo!!!”
As the Tang Dynasty's first train departed Chang'an, black smoke and white steam swirled like yin and yang. Wherever it passed, tens of thousands cried out in amazement.
Li Shimin: “Will ordinary people like you be around a thousand years from now?”
