Financial analyst Chen Mo died suddenly after working overtime for 72 hours. He accidentally traveled back in time to the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty and became a down-and-out beggar stealing offerings from a ruined temple. At the beginning, there was nothing except a yellow dog "Heshen" who could hold a ledger in his mouth, but he unexpectedly discovered that the modern knowledge he brought with him was the strongest golden finger.
In this era of eight-part essay selection, he used tabular statistics to analyze ten years of examination questions and summarized the "imperial examination big data", which helped students from poor families win the exams one after another; he used milk tea recipes to open up official connections, and even the county magistrate's wife was obsessed with pearl milk tea; he also used scientific methods to improve agriculture, making old farmers kneel down and shout "Believe in science and you will live forever." From the county examination to the court, he used modern thinking to subvert tradition step by step: the flintlock blueprint caused the Hanlin Academy to collectively break the defense, the performance appraisal system drove all the subordinate officials in the county crazy, and the maritime trade war caused Portuguese merchants to lose their money. In the end, the remaining "New Tiangong Kaiwu" became the spark that changed the times.
Five hundred years later, the "KPI Assessment Bamboo Slips" and "Milk Tea Recipe Memorial" discovered by archaeologists made historians collectively dumbfounded - it turned out that the Ming Dynasty was almost brought into the Industrial Revolution in advance by this time traveler! And the yellow dog "Heshen" who always picked up key evidence at critical moments has become the biggest unsolved mystery in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
