Great Ming: I Know a Little Bit of Everything

During the Hongwu era.

The good-for-nothing Zhu Gaochi figures that being a laid-back prince's son who makes money on the side is pretty nice.

His hapless younger brother keeps giving him trouble, while his hapless father is dissatisfied with him in every way.

Zhu Gaochi snorts. "You really think I don't have a temper?"

And then... he can no longer hide the fact that he's good at a little bit of everything.

Zhu Di: "You little brat, how many more good things have you got up your sleeve?"

Zhu Gaochi: "That's all I've got!"

High-yield crops, improved and upgraded firearms: Zhu Di can't get enough of them, and charges off to wage war against the Northern Yuan.

Meanwhile, Zhu Gaochi keeps making money, organizes people to invent new things, and thoroughly transforms his father's fief. Everyone who witnesses Beiping's prosperity and rise is left stunned.

The other hapless onlookers: "Weren't we told Beiping was poor and backward?"

Zhu Gaochi: "Wrong. It's a land waiting to be rebuilt!"

Despite everyone doubting him, he carves out an unconventional path to prosperity and ultimately builds a brand-new Great Ming Empire.
