Great Ming: Starting a Rebellion by Becoming an Official

This is not a System novel. It's a slow burn, so give it a try if that sounds like your thing.

The late Ming Dynasty: the people are starving, and corpses litter the land.

See how the protagonist uses the art of statecraft from a twenty-first-century high school textbook to change the thinking of the era.

He studies poppy flowers and sends them to Great Britain,

while Dante is still working on his Divine Comedy.

He sends cannabis to the navigators of the era.
