Great Ming: Grandpa! I Really Don't Want to Become an Official

The twenty-first year of Hongwu.

Zhu Panshi transmigrates and becomes the Heir of Prince Ning. He gets a sign-in cultivation System: as long as he devotes himself to the Dao and lies flat in the real world, he'll earn rewards and achieve immortality.

So, keep a low profile. Don't get in the way of my becoming an immortal!

But just as Zhu Panshi thinks he's the only one with a golden finger, Old Zhu turns out to be able to hear his inner thoughts.

From then on, Zhu Panshi begins a life of outwitting Old Zhu and trying to stay one step ahead...

"Years of war have left bones strewn across the fields, with not a chicken crowing for a thousand miles."

Prisoners, stop sewing and get out there to clear land and farm!

"Henan is suffering a severe drought, and the people have nothing to eat. What solutions do you have, my ministers?"

Plant potatoes! They're drought-resistant, high-yielding, and not picky about where they grow!

I'd better stop talking, or I'll earn another merit!

Old Zhu: "You brat, trying to outsmart your own grandfather!"

And so, Zhu Panshi inexplicably becomes an agricultural commissioner, a provincial administration commissioner, a vice minister of war, a great general...

The ministers: "Your Majesty, you're spoiling him!"
