In the Great Ming, I Started by Smuggling Instant Noodles

In the fifteenth year of the Chongzhen reign, two years before the Qing forces entered the Pass.

Zhang Cheng transmigrated into the body of a poor young scholar in Suzhou. He could barely lift a chicken, and his family had no savings to speak of.

Fortunately, he activated the System Marketplace, where he could buy anything he needed.

Instant noodles, white sugar, refined salt, soap, MSG, Erguotou liquor: each new product caused a sensation throughout the Ming Dynasty and made Zhang Cheng a fortune.

He bought elite archers, elite heavy infantry, elite musketeers, and steam-powered ironclad warships, assembled a mighty army, and swept across the land.

The Qing, the rebel bandits, the Dutch sea traders: he swept them all into the dustbin of history.

History changed at that very moment.
