Great Ming: The Corrupt Merchant I Raised Turned Out to Be Zhu Yuanzhang

Meng Xiang transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty, becomes the magistrate of Tushan County, and activates the Farming System.

He happens upon a corrupt official named Zhu Da. Using both kindness and authority, he wins him over and trains him to become a crooked businessman who can make money for him and develop Tushan.

Meng Xiang: "This is Tushan salt, Zhu Da. What do you think we should charge for it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Five hundred cash! Let's make a killing!"

Meng Xiang: "Idiot! Five hundred taels!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Huh? Will anyone buy it?"

Meng Xiang: "You fool! Just say it boosts virility!"

The result: Tushan salt sells like crazy! Demand far exceeds supply!

Zhu Yuanzhang: "What a swindler! You're a real crook!"

Empress Ma: "Your Majesty, you have a share in this too."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Hahaha! Meng Xiang is truly a man of great talent!"

Years later, the Ming emperor summoned Meng Xiang to the palace for an audience.

Old Zhu: "You crook! Take a good look at me!"
