I Save the Ming Dynasty with My Infrastructure Maniac Trait

See how I make waves in the Chongzhen era. On the eve of the Later Jin's first invasion of the Pass, Wei Zhongxian is dead, the Donglin faction dominates the court, the treasury is empty, peasant uprisings in Shaanxi are just beginning to emerge, the waterworks around the capital are in disrepair, the roads are muddy, and transporting grain and supplies is difficult. The court is in chaos. Chongzhen has only recently ascended the throne. He's suspicious, but eager to get things done.

The central conflict: Shen Yanqiu must keep his transmigrator identity hidden while using his modern knowledge of emergency infrastructure to help Chongzhen avoid the pitfalls that will destroy his country. He'll face-slap the Donglin faction, remnants of the eunuch faction, and incompetent generals, among other villains. Through infrastructure projects such as building waterworks, improving transport, and creating a storage system, he'll tackle food shortages, military pay, and foreign threats, gradually guiding the Ming Dynasty toward revival.
