Great Ming: A Bunch of Corrupt Officials Mistake Me for Their Boss

(Historical) (Transmigration) (Misunderstandings) (Underdog's Rise) (Technology Makes the Nation Strong)

Just after transmigrating to the Hongwu era, he finds himself a beggar.

By chance, he finds an official appointment document on a dead man.

County Deputy: This gentleman has an extraordinary air about him, and he's even secretly carrying an appointment document. He must be the newly appointed county magistrate, here incognito to inspect the county.

Chief Registrar: If that's the case, then let's play along and put on a good show.

Clerk: Let's see whether he takes a bribe.

County Deputy: He can barely write legibly, so he must have gotten the job through connections. His family may have powerful backing, so we'd better be careful.

With just an appointment document, Zhu Mingyuan rises to the top of the world.

He makes flintlock rifles with rifled barrels and bullets with lead cores encased in iron.

He makes plastic sheeting for greenhouses, growing vegetables so successfully that there's plenty to eat in every season.

Then one day, Zhu Yuanzhang arrives in the county seat.
