The Great Ming’s Number One Infrastructure Maniac

Transmigrated as Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the Ming emperor, he opens his eyes to find himself inside a coffin five years in the future! A modern office worker reborn as Zhu Ying, magistrate of Fengyang County, is busy building a Hongwu-era “city that never sleeps” with cement roads and flush toilets when he gets tangled up with a strange old man who leapt into a river after eating spicy hotpot. “Old Huang, fighting corruption isn’t just about skinning people and stuffing them with straw. We need a proper KPI system!” Zhu Ying plants his foot on the imperial desk and rants away, completely unaware that the man before him is none other than the Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang. Then a secret letter flushed out of a toilet reveals a shocking conspiracy: His stepmother, Lü Shi, poisoned his birth mother, Chang Shi, with aconite perfume and used smallpox-infected clothes to make him appear dead; His hypocritical younger brother, Zhu Yunwen, hides a poison needle meant to kill his brother inside a Buddhist scripture; When Empress Ma tremblingly presents a poisoned swaddling cloth, the twin-fish pendant in Zhu Ying’s arms suddenly grows hot! With his left arm around a medical girl’s fragrant feet, he develops penicillin; with his right hand pressing a famous courtesan’s jade-like feet, he blows up an arsenal. The Xu family’s three sisters’ feet become the lubricant of government, while a Korean princess’s deerskin boots smash the heads of Japanese pirates. Watch as Zhu Xiongying stands astride a flush toilet, rides at the head of a steam train, and puts the Ming Dynasty on the wheels of the Industrial Revolution with flintlock rifles: The realm beneath the sun and moon is due for a new color!
