The Truth Is Out: I’m a Prince and an Arms Dealer

He transmigrates into the Ming dynasty as the Prince of Dai, the most overlooked prince of the mid-Ming era, with a barren fiefdom in Shanxi. He awakens the [Super Military Factory System], which lets him unlock a complete military technology tree, from matchlock guns to breech-loading rifled cannons and even steam-powered ironclad ships.

But he chooses a different path: instead of rebelling, he goes into the arms trade.

At home, he sells “Taming the Barbarians Cannons” to the imperial court to help the border troops fend off the Mongols, then turns around and sells obsolete “Divine Machine Guns” to Mongol tribes, keeping them at odds with one another. The ambitious Prince of Yan, Prince of Ning, and others want to buy weapons from him to stage a rebellion? Fine, but the price is ten times higher, and they'll have to pay in minerals, land, and talent. His fiefdom develops at a staggering pace, becoming a center of technology, industry, and wealth.
