Great Ming: Sent to the Future from the Start, I Leave Old Zhu Stunned

He transmigrates to the tenth year of the Hongwu era.

Zhu Xu crawls out of a pile of corpses and, thanks to a token of kinship in his pocket, becomes the Ming Empire's fifth prince.

He plans to use modern methods to secretly build his own business empire.

But unexpectedly, Old Zhu gains the ability to deduce the future and exposes him from the start.

Prince Jinkang Zhu Xu uses business tactics to amass wealth in the capital within a year, easing the tax burden on the people...

Within two years, Prince Jinkang Zhu Xu dismantles the alliance between officials and merchants, increasing the state granaries by eleven million shi of grain and the treasury's silver reserves by fifteen million taels...

Within three years, Prince Jinkang Zhu Xu takes control of half the empire's commerce. Annual tax revenue adds thirty million taels of silver to the treasury, enough to support an army of three million soldiers...

What Old Zhu never expected was that...

In later projections, Crown Prince Zhu Biao holds his fifth brother in the highest regard and is willing to give up the Ming throne for him.

Even his fourth son Zhu Di, who plots to seize the throne, is willing to become the sword in Zhu Xu's hand and sweep across the seas for him.
