In the cold winter of 1854, the small workshop in Genoa was on the verge of bankruptcy.
A mechanical engineer disguised himself as a fatherless military cadet, faced with a mountain of burlap, predatory loan sharks, and a mother with swollen eyes.
He grabbed a piece of war news from The Times and gambled his family's lives:
"I'll make the Brits' winter clothes!"
► 【The sewing machine is my Gatling gun! 】
★ Improved cotton fluffing machine? The Widow's Assembly Line boosts productivity!
Bribing Russian POWs? Confessions from Black Sea corpses become a deadly bargaining chip!

❗ Private army surprise attack on the fortress: Nitroglycerin shatters the Bourbon dynasty, and thousands of black shirts are crowned knights on a bloody journey!
❗ Monopoly of sulfur hegemony: "One ton of sulfur for ten tons of grain", harvesting Sicily during famine!
In the turbulent times of roaring steam engines, he grasped the magic of bonds with his left hand and manipulated the struggle for supremacy among the great powers with his right hand:
Prussian-Austrian battlefield pits Austrian ships: sulfur-mixed coal explodes boiler, and Veneto is taken!
The Pope's Treasury moves gold: 50-year bonds to redeem the Holy City, and the Vatican is furious!
Suez secretly seizes shares: bottom-fishing at the window of France's defeat and strangling the throat of Europe and Asia!
When the Italian crown was crowned, he looked out over the Mediterranean:
"The so-called Caesar is nothing more than making the world believe—
The shadow that sits upon the Iron Throne is a god!"

Holy Pope, golden scepter.
Knight King, silver embroidered bed.
Those who grow wheat eat wheat bran, and those who weave cloth have no clothes.
When Eve and Adam were working, did nobles and gentlemen sit in the hall?
Occupy my wife, seize my room, and kill my good parents!
Countless heads have been shed, and blood debts must be paid with blood!
Behead the priest! Behead the Pope!
Behead the knight! Behead the king!
Behead all injustices and settle all grievances.
We are all pigs and sheep, and we welcome the saint to kill.
When the saint comes, there will be no priests! When the saint comes, there will be no king!
When the saint comes, there will be no service! When the saint comes, there will be no grain!

Raven thought he'd traveled to medieval Europe and become a glorious prince, but he never imagined he'd found himself in the world of Pokémon. Farm, hunt, gather, raise animals, build a territory, develop an estate... From a remote frontier to the most prosperous kingdom! Pokémon x Lord Farming.
In the 23rd year of Hongwu, the Han people had restored their country. However, China had been submerged for a hundred years. The heroic spirit of the powerful Han Dynasty, the elegance of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the fireworks of Bianliang that illuminated the world had all disappeared.
The backward grassland and decadent Neo-Confucianism combined to strangle the flourishing Han civilization. The newly born Ming Dynasty had to become conservative due to historical limitations. It was eventually destroyed by the Tartars and sank into darkness again.
Li Qi traveled through time and space as the son of Li Shanchang, the Duke of Han. Everywhere he looked, he saw families overthrown, blood flowing in the fields, and the sons of dukes and marquises in ruins. "I have one wish: for my family to prosper and for the world to be at peace!"
————
In the winter of the first year of the Yongle reign, there was a heavy snowfall. On his deathbed, Li Qi looked at his handsome young son, and recalled his own youth. "Mu'er, your father is about to die. He has lived a short life, with nothing good to say. I can only sigh that I have seven regrets that have not been fulfilled, and I cannot rest in peace.
I regret that my ancestors could not be cleared of their sins, and the Li family is still a criminal clan. This is because their descendants are unfilial.
The second regret is that the teachings of Cheng and Zhu are still popular, while few people respond to Hengqu's four sentences.
The third regret is that the Ming Dynasty could not recover the old territories of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The fourth regret is that I have never seen Jiaxuan’s old poem about the never-sleeping scene in Bianjing.
The fifth regret is that I don’t know the scenery of all the countries overseas.
My sixth regret is that I have never seen the way to eternal peace.
I regret not having traveled to the palaces of heaven, not knowing that among the stars there are infinite births and deaths."
