The Physician Who United the Ming: From Refugee to Imperial Tutor

A modern traditional Chinese medicine doctor with a stock trader’s mindset transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty as a starving refugee! When plague strikes Suzhou, he uses modern quarantine methods to save 30,000 people and crosses paths with Lin Qingyao, the “female bandit chief.” During a famine, a stock-market trick involving a fake grain requisition wipes out the grain-hoarding local gentry! When he arrives in the capital, civil officials sneer that “a commoner isn’t fit to be here.” He turns around and uses a scalpel to perform a cesarean and save the empress, earning the emperor’s immediate appointment as Marquis of Medicine! He investigates corruption in the Ministry of Revenue, leads new troops in beating Japanese pirates to a pulp, and pushes through land redistribution, drawing refugees flocking to his cause… Along the way, he recruits the “female bandit chief” as a medical officer. The two fight their way from Jiangnan to the imperial court: forcing Japan to pay a million in military reparations to aid Korea, controlling trade to choke off the pirates’ lifeline, and giving all the land seized by corrupt princes back to the people! In the end, the old emperor kneels outright: “My dear subject, I entrust even my crown prince to your tutelage!” Can a refugee rise to become the Ming emperor’s teacher? Watch him take on an entire rotten dynasty with syringes and an abacus!
