He transmigrates to the Hongwu era.

He becomes Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved youngest son, Zhu Chen.

To treat Empress Ma, he personally sets out to search for a miracle medicine.

While he's away,

Zhu Chen empties the entire Ming treasury right from the start!

So when Zhu Yuanzhang prepares to use the treasury, he discovers it's completely bare, without a single coin left.

Furious, Zhu Yuanzhang prepares to find Zhu Chen and punish him.

Unexpectedly, the civil and military officials all threaten to die in protest, insisting on protecting Zhu Chen.

"Your Majesty! The prince has the makings of an emperor for the ages!"

"Your Majesty, if you punish the prince, then execute this old minister along with him!"

"Your Majesty..."

Then, as he looks over the memorials submitted by the officials, Zhu Yuanzhang is dumbfounded.

And what is an industrial revolution?
