Great Ming: An Industrial Survey Reveals a Corrupt Official Richer Than a Nation

During the Hongwu era, Su He transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty. In an age when people can barely afford to eat, all he wants is to make money and build industry!

After becoming richer than a nation by launching massive construction projects in Beiping, he draws Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion and is exiled to the northwest to eat sand by imperial decree.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "The northwest is barren, and its people are fierce. Let's see how this corrupt official plans to line his pockets out there!"

Who could have guessed that Su He would awaken heaven-defying comprehension and launch an industrial revolution in the northwest!

Short on money? Issue war bonds, and Jiangnan's financial magnates will rush to send money overnight, buying up the entire northwest!

Short on food? Turn stone into gold with fertilizer, growing miraculous crops that yield three thousand jin per mu in the desert and leaving the Ministry of Revenue stunned!

Barbarians invade? Put Gatling guns on armored trains and turn the Mongol cavalry into sieves, then seize the Western Regions!

Years later, while Zhu Yuanzhang frets over the empty treasury, Su He's railways have already reached Europe, and he has monopolized the world's oil!

Looking at the Dragon Coins piled high in the Forbidden City and the surrender petitions from foreign nations, Zhu Yuanzhang finally loses it.

"My dear subject, I was wrong. Come back to the capital and save the market! The Ming Dynasty can't do without you!"
