Transmigrating to the Qing: I Marry Du Xiaoyue and Outrank Heshen

Jia Ren transmigrates to the Qianlong era and becomes the magistrate of Danfeng County. Snow salt, milk tea, hamburgers: he wins Qianlong over through his stomach! Sugar mills, coal plants, farms, hospitals, schools, supermarkets, and more leave the emperor, traveling incognito, gaping in astonishment. “Aiqing Jia, you are wasting your talents as a county magistrate. Return to the capital with me, and I'll make you a first-rank official!”

Jia Ren waves him off. “I'm not going unless my rank is higher than Heshen's!”

Ji Xiaolan comes seeking help with the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries in his arms. “Lord Jia, this compilation format still needs your expert revisions!”

Liu Yong arrives with an unsolved case. “Lord Jia, this case is baffling. Only your ‘scientific investigation’ can crack it!”

Heshen, once the most powerful man at court, sobs while clutching an empty money chest. “Lord Jia, please go easy on me and leave me a little retirement money!”

Even the Empress Dowager beams, taking Du Xiaoyue by the hand. “At last, my adopted daughter has found the man of her dreams!”

When Jia Ren arrives in the capital as “Premier of the Administrative Council,” bringing compulsory education and joint-stock factories with him, Qianlong simply lies flat. “Aiqing Jia, what other brilliant ideas do you have for governing the country? You take care of everything! Heshen, Ji Xiaolan, Liu Yong, give him your full support! No mistakes!”

The Jiaqing Emperor asks, “Aiqing Jia, everyone says Heshen is a great corrupt official, with more money than the imperial treasury. So how come my men found almost nothing when I sent them to search his home?…”

Jia Ren replies, “Your Majesty, that's because Lord He took my advice…”

Watch a modern man work his magic in the Qing bureaucracy, marry a beautiful wife, take on powerful ministers, and launch a spectacular industrial revolution to usher in an age of prosperity all his own!
