In the fourth year of Hongwu, Chen Lie accidentally transmigrates to Chopstick Street in Wuchang Guard, where he becomes a low-ranking military household.
He develops the economy, organizes farming, invents and manufactures, kills enemies and fights corruption, handles major cases, and treats the sick.
Zhu Yuanzhang: "A-Lie really is a man of many talents. You can read my mind! You've taken care of everything I thought of and even the things I didn't. How about this: from now on, Biao'er is your younger brother, Xiuying is your mother, and I'm your father's big brother!"
Chen Lie: "Your Majesty, are you forcing people to become your godsons now?"
Chen Hanyong: "My sworn brother just said so himself, son. Just humor him!"
Chen Lie: "Then I'll teach A-Biao, but you can't spend my money however you like. It's meant to help poor people across the Ming escape poverty and build better lives!"
In the end, he achieves great success, revitalizes the Ming, and is celebrated by all under heaven!
