{Shen Yuan}, a scumbag from the Department of History, stayed up late to write his thesis and unexpectedly transformed into a down-and-out scholar during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng had just passed away, the party struggle in the court was fierce, and refugees were everywhere among the people. At a critical moment, he activates the "historical imagination system" - which can not only simulate the historical trends of different decisions, but also realize the outrageous imagination! Use "assembly line salt production" to solve the salt shortage, rely on "simple cement" to build river embankments, use "newspaper public opinion" to break party disputes, and even use "hot air balloon reconnaissance" to fight Japanese pirates! Shen Yuan used his imagination to change his destiny, and he fought back from being a poor scholar to protecting the Ming Dynasty, rejecting the queen's money, and opening up maritime borders. He abruptly put the declining Ming Dynasty on a new historical track!
