Authoritarian
A famed merchant and philantropist in the Qing Empire. He is known to work with those outside the system of the Middle Kingdom. That is, barbarians who refuse to bow to he who rules Tianxia. A backchannel of sorts, though his contacts can only lead him so far...
He made friends with a japanese in Nagasaki, Seoishisai, and after trying to help him get papers on the barbarians, he got imprisoned. Freed, he devoted his connections and riches to expel the barbarians!
He is now one of the most representative amongst the literati, sponsoring those who would write about jinshi, or statecraft, to modernize the Qing.
