This is a world of great contention.

A small foot soldier, starting from humble beginnings, slowly rising step by step.

Until he conquered the world, restored the rivers and mountains, pacified the nine kingdoms and destroyed the princes.

In the 16th year of the Jiading reign of the Southern Song Dynasty, Shen Mo, an undercover agent from the modern era, began to manipulate the nation. Countless ingenious schemes, diabolical plots, and ruthless tactics unleashed from his grasp. His modern criminal investigation techniques repeatedly solved mysterious Southern Song cases, while his espionage skills inflicted heavy losses on Liao and Jin spies. As the invincible Mongol cavalry rolled in, his iron-clad army shattered their sweeping power head-on! Single-handedly mending the heavens, averting the fall of the world, this was a war of one man against an entire era!

After waking up, Su Mu traveled back to the Republic of China and became a low-level agent of the Military Control Commission!

Just when I was in despair, I gained the ability to read people's minds!

Agent No. 76: Damn it! How did the secret plan to capture the deputy station chief of the Military Control Commission get leaked?

Chief of the Special High Section: Damn it, who leaked the top-secret agent lurking in the mountain city? I will kill him!

Mei Agency Headquarters: Damn it, why would top secret local intelligence be leaked? The traitor must be in the local area, we must find him no matter what!

While No. 76, the Special High Section, the Mei Agency and others were busy looking for the source of the leak, Su Mu quietly retreated behind everyone!

On the other side, at the Military Control Commission headquarters in Shancheng, Boss Dai looked at the intelligence with a look of surprise, he was completely stunned!

"Quick, increase funding for Yamausagi's group!"

"No, just double it!"

In 878 AD, the fifth year of Qianfu during the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty.

In this year, Wang Xianzhi died in battle in Huangmei. His followers elected Huang Chao as their leader, named him General Chongtian, and he moved to the south to fight.

In this year, Li Keyong killed Duan Wenchu, the military commander of Datong. The father and son launched a rebellion, and the Shatuo troops plundered Hedong.

This year, bandits rose up in large numbers in the south of the Yangtze River and captured many prefectures and counties.

This year, Henan suffered from drought and locusts for consecutive years, and the soldiers rioted.

This year, Emperor Xizong was busy with cockfighting and ball-playing, ignoring state affairs.

This year, the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil.

This year, Shao Shude, who traveled from the future, had his own ideals. He wanted to climb high and see the lights of thousands of homes; he wanted to travel the mountains and rivers and see the pastoral idyll.

He wants children to grow up healthy, he wants women to be free from humiliation, and he wants the elderly to have a good end.

He wants to end this chaotic world.

Chen Jian's time travel is different from others: they all travel to ancient times, but he possesses only animal skins and a stone axe. Starting from a matriarchal clan, he developed and perpetuated a civilization. Was it feudal statehood or unified prefectures and counties? Was it the distinction between the state and the wild, or barbaric conquest? Was it a hundred schools of thought contending, or a hundred saints uniting? Was it a single deity or a universal faith in ancestors? Was it a bloody accumulation of cotton silkworms cannibalizing humans? Or was it a humanistic care and a utopian dream of universal harmony? To enjoy the happiness of civilization, one must experience its pain. The ability to be reborn after death allows him to experience the growth of this civilization through a variety of identities. Tribal member, noble, slave, emperor, commoner, scholar, hired laborer, captain of the Age of Exploration, capitalist of the Age of Primitive Accumulation, conscript in the trenches, the mastermind of a major trust... With the same head in different buttocks, what kind of encounters and insights will arise?

Chapter 318: 1776 (Grand Finale) Compaq's new tax policy stipulated that any slave owner who kept a single slave would have their taxes increased by 10%, to be used as state compensation for the slaves. For every ten slaves kept, the tax doubled, and for every hundred, it doubled again.

"Zhu Youjian, go with peace of mind. Everything you have will be inherited by me, Ye Xuan.

From now on, I am the sixteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty—Chongzhen. I swear here:

Those whom you, Zhu Youjian, cannot kill, I, Chongzhen, will kill.

What you, Zhu Youjian, cannot do, I, Chongzhen, will do.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong rebelled? That depends on whether I give them the chance!

The Jiannu slaughtered my people in the Central Plains? Then I will slaughter the Jiannu, wipe out their race, and annihilate their clan!

The eight major Shanxi merchants are secretly colluding with the Jiannu and acting as their spies? Then I will confiscate their property and exterminate their clans!

The intellectuals are ignorant, incompetent, shameless, and have betrayed their country and surrendered to the enemy, so we should kill them and turn the world upside down!

…

In a word, the destiny is in my body. What you, Zhu Youjian, can do, I, Chongzhen, will do. What you, Zhu Youjian, cannot do, I, Chongzhen, can do even better.

In short, I want everyone in the Ming Dynasty to be a gentleman, so that the country will be safe and the world will be governed by virtue!

One day in the future, I will make the Oirat, Tatar and other tribes become the pastures of my Ming Dynasty.

Let Xifan and Tubo become the orchards of our Ming Dynasty.

Let Burma, Siam, and Annan become the granaries of the Ming Dynasty,

Let the southeast coast become the fishing ground of Ming Dynasty.

Let Fuso and other places become the mining areas of our Ming Dynasty.

Congratulations from all quarters, tributes from all nations, may the Ming Dynasty prosper for another three hundred years!"

Have you ever thought about what it would be like if you traveled back to the ancient world without a system or cheat codes? You weren't a physics or chemistry doctor, nor a historian, but simply an ordinary person. Your knowledge was limited to movies, TV, short videos, and media platforms. How would you survive? Let's see how an ordinary person, who traveled back to the body of Li Shen, the tenth son of Emperor Taizong of Tang, thrived in the Tang Dynasty with only a limited amount of knowledge and over 30 years of life experience.
