After the autumn wood

Having traveled to America in the year 1862, this was the beginning of a dream, the finest of times.
What constitutes a true master of success?
Having some notable descendants hardly counts for anything.
To build an Oil Empire alongside Rockefeller
To place Carnegie on the throne of the steel magnate
To help Ford propel the industrialization of automobiles worldwide
To lead Edison to monopolize the future of the electrical industry
To be an Angel Investor for Morgan's capital
Hear this, applause!

American success master

Zhu Wencong returned to his bedroom in the Catherine Palace, with Maria by his side, allowing her access to any palace.


Every emperor is keen on building temporary imperial palaces, if not for anything else, it is to show off and assert their authority.


Why is that? Because the human, material, and financial resources needed to construct a temporary imperial palace are tremendous, and only imperial families can afford it.


Nobles cannot, like emperors, summon thousands of people to build palaces or mobilize the best materials in the world.


Although they cannot act as whimsically as emperors, compared to their accumulated wealth, emperors are like upstarts.


The construction, maintenance, and management of palaces all come from the national treasury. You expect royalty to pay? Prepare to be executed with your entire clan!


Take the Royal Family of England as an example; their Royal Family has been officially co-opted, just as Beiyang is supporting the Qing court.
