Great Ming: I’ll Come Clean, I’m Zhu Yuanzhang

In the Hongwu era, Lin Ran transmigrated into the past, but his System would take four months to activate. So he opened a deserted tavern to get used to life in the Ming Dynasty.

His only customer was a man called Old Zhu, who often dropped by and always asked him questions about governing, from major issues concerning people's livelihoods to questions like:

"What kind of person do you think the current emperor is?"

"Do you think the emperor is too kindhearted?"

"What do you think would happen if the court had no chancellor?"

Lin Ran was furious. He was a top history student, and this was what the man asked him? If the guy hadn't tipped so generously, would he have bothered answering so seriously?

Then, after the System awakened, its very first mission was to make him a government official. Just as Lin Ran was fretting over how to get appointed, Old Zhu quietly told him, "Shopkeeper, I'll come clean. I'm Zhu Yuanzhang."
