One System! One person blessed with great fortune! He takes a wife, enters the imperial court, and crushes the powerful nobility.
He puts down rebellions and opens up farmland to grow grain. Single-handedly, he builds a land of fish and rice, with tens of thousands of acres yielding abundant harvests! He performs rituals and captures demons, standing alone against the whole world.
The glory of this Ming dynasty will shine on forever. I am Lin Yingyue, Grand Imperial Preceptor of the Hongwu reign!
