In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang was about to establish the Jinyiwei and begin his late-life reign of terror.
Lin Xiao transmigrates to the Great Ming and unlocks the Heavenly Secrets Big Data System.
Everyone’s personality, abilities, life story, connections, position, and current plans are laid bare before Lin Xiao.
Each time Lin Xiao is promoted, he gains data on an important figure, and keeps rising until he stands at the very pinnacle of power.
The pinnacle of power? Has this System never read a history book?
This is the old Zhu in his later years.
The higher you climb, the faster you die!
A low-ranking official in some little county is more than enough.
Sure, that means he can only get information about ordinary people through his daily sign-in.
But who says ordinary people’s information is useless?
Lin Xiao plans to use the people at the very bottom to control public opinion throughout the Great Ming.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor who rose from commoner roots, cares most about what the people think.
If the aunties at the village entrance gossip that someone is corrupt, he’ll lose his head!
If the old woodcutter says someone is plotting rebellion, his whole clan will be executed!
Before long, every high-ranking official at court is desperately trying to make a good impression on the people.
Yang Xian: I’ll give everyone my salary so they can buy rice.
Hu Weiyong: I’ll sell my ancestral home and use the money to build roads for everyone!
Liu Bowen: I... I’m broke...
Honored officials, be ready at all times to listen to the people!
It looks good, I love watching it, keep going! 🍉
