Republican Era: A Beggar County Magistrate, More American Than the Americans

Chen Changlin transmigrated into the Republic of China era and became a beggar. His father-in-law bought him the county magistrate's post in Qingyun County. They agreed to give him a year to govern the place.

If he failed, Chen Changlin would have to obediently do as his father-in-law said.

If he succeeded, Chen Changlin would be free to run his company as he pleased.

A year later, his father-in-law arrived in Qingyun County.

"Have I gone blind? Where did these Krupp cannons and Tiger tanks come from?"

"They're products of Qingyun Arsenal No. 1's research and development."

"Penicillin? This stuff is more expensive than gold, and your hospitals use it like it's nothing!"

"It's cheap to produce in-house. I even export quite a bit."

"There must be a huge harvest in those fields. How much do you get per mu?"

"Not much, just 1,500 jin, thanks to fertilizer and hybrid rice."

His father-in-law nearly choked.

"You... my dear son-in-law, come back and take over the company at once."

"No thanks. Your company wouldn't even rank among the best in our county."
