In 1776, the 41st year of the reign of Qian Long, the court was in urgent need of money for war, and official Akezhan was sent to Yangzhou to collect donations from wealthy salt merchants.

Fortunately, merchant Wang Chao Zong appears to help deliver funds to the frontline and propose reforms to combat corruption.
