Great Ming: In the Age of Empires, I Spawn Ten Million People on a Deserted Island

After transmigrating as Zhu Youxuan, Prince of Gui, exiled to Qiongzhou by the Chongzhen Emperor, he found himself from the start with an empty princely residence, no one to rely on, and the pirate Liu Xiang set to attack in four months. At this desperate moment, he awakened the Age of Empires System: food, wood, stone, and gold could all be gathered, and once a Town Center was built, it could produce an adult villager every two seconds, each with maximum loyalty and ready to obey his every command.

He got his hands on 1,500 shi of coarse grain for nothing, then exchanged it for 30,000 food and produced 500 villagers in a single day. By day, they gathered wild fruit and vegetables, hunted, and fished. At night, they returned to the residence and handed over their resources. Their food supplies snowballed. In less than half a month, their villagers numbered over ten thousand, the Town Center had been upgraded five times, and the Barracks icon had lit up on the panel. But building it required 1,000 gold, and the Qiongzhou treasury couldn't even scrape together 300 taels.

The System prompt appeared again: Barracks available to build, insufficient gold. Zhu Youxuan looked at the vast, dark ranks of ten thousand villagers before him and grinned. "Then we'll just keep producing villagers. If a hundred thousand aren't enough, we'll make a million. If a million aren't enough, we'll make ten million. Once I fill the whole island of Qiongzhou with people, will I still have to worry about finding gold?"
