Great Ming: I Am Shen Wansan's Son, a Colossal Corrupt Official

After becoming the son of Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Teng was overjoyed. Being a rich second-generation heir who could spend his days eating, drinking, and having fun was simply the best.

Unfortunately, he was bound to the Corrupt Official System. From then on, Shen Teng began an outrageously corrupt career right under Old Zhu's nose.

Wasn't this basically asking to be killed? Old Zhu hated corrupt officials most of all, and anyone who embezzled more than sixty taels got their head chopped off!

Shen Wansan: Son, go ahead and embezzle all you like. Your father will cover for you.

Then, turning around: Your Majesty, however much Shen Teng embezzles, I'll pay it back for him!

The three Shen brothers: Little brother, do whatever you want. We'll work hard to grow the family business and become your backing!

Shen Teng used the money he embezzled to quietly build the Talents Group, recruiting capable people and putting them to work serving the common folk. He embezzled his way to peace and prosperity throughout the realm.

Old Zhu: Having Shen Teng is the Ming Dynasty's good fortune. He's my worthy younger brother!

The officials: The person I envy and resent most is Shen Teng. It's bad enough that he's handsome, but he's also the son of the richest man, and he became prime minister just three days after entering court. That's enough, I'm going home to cry...
