[System + knowledge-based domination + invincible lead + passionate nation-building + global conquest]

(Low rating? That’s because you haven’t read it yet! It’s going to keep climbing!)

Modern young man Zhu Chen accidentally transmigrates to the early Ming Dynasty and becomes the owner of a failing bookshop in Yingtian. He plans to live a lazy life, but a “costume actor” called Old Zhu keeps dropping by for a chat.

Annoying? He casually tosses him a few bits of modern knowledge to keep him occupied: composting to boost harvests, irrigation plans, reforms to the garrison system. Easy!

Then one day, Old Zhu flips the table and reveals the truth: “I am Zhu Yuanzhang! Tell me, how do we destroy the Yuan and strengthen the Ming?”

Zhu Chen grins and gets straight to drawing: the “Flintlock Blueprint” will crush the Mongol cavalry! The “Steam Engine Plans” will spark an industrial revolution! The “Armored Warship Concept” will secure global naval supremacy!

Confucian scholars attack him? He debates them all and hits them with scientific experiments! The nobles refuse to fall in line? New firearms will teach them a lesson! Enemy nations provoke them? The Divine Machine Battalion will trample the eight directions!

From a shabby alley bookshop to the empire’s greatest academy, from lecturer to guardian sage of the realm. With a wave of his hand, he lights up the tech tree, crushing an entire age with the power of knowledge!

Investigate the natural world and open the heavens; forge a new Ming with iron and fire! When the Ming sun-and-moon banners fly over every inch of the world, Zhu Yuanzhang ascends the throne as the eternal sage ancestor. Looking back, the bookshop owner has already become a legend!
