I, the Ultimate Mastermind, Am Hailed as the God of Wealth by the Empress

【The Ultimate Mastermind + Female Emperor + Living King of Hell + Transmigration + Alternate History + Gao Yang + Invincible + Machiavellian Schemes】 He transmigrates to Great Zhou, only to find himself in a dead end from the start? Corrupt merchants hoard grain, rice prices triple, and the people are forced to eat their own children? Tubo grows arrogant and refuses to pay tribute, while war on the frontier is about to erupt? Shandong is ravaged by famine, riddles abound, and powerful local clans have all the authority they need? Don’t panic! Ma Cai has arrived with economic ideas from a thousand years in the future! As Chang’an suffers a grain shortage, the entire court is at a loss. Ma Cai sneers. “Want to ruin those corrupt merchants? Easy! I’ll hoard grain too. Once they’re bankrupt, I’ll sell it cheap and make them lose everything, right down to their underwear!” The female emperor is stunned. “My dear subject, are you trying to drain the imperial treasury?” Ma Cai replies, “Your Majesty, this is called a financial takedown. No blades, no guns: I’ll bring an enemy nation’s economy crashing down and wipe it off the map!” An abacus in his left hand, political schemes in his right. He makes Tubo collapse without a fight, leaves corrupt officials trembling at his name, and has the female emperor loving and loathing him at once. She even wants to lock him in the palace as her personal ATM! Gao Yang, the governor of Shandong, boasts, “This is my territory. Even the gods have to bow their heads here!” Ma Cai hits back with economic sanctions. “You think you’re a big shot? I’ll still crush you!”
