A modern social beast (such as a project supervisor/a scumbag from the history department) is unexpectedly reborn as a young emperor of the Ming Dynasty who has just ascended the throne (such as the early years of Wanli/the early years of Zhengde). Faced with an empty treasury, an old fox cabinet, and an eyeing vassal king, he goes from "fishing for money" to being forced to "do business." Using modern simple physics knowledge (such as the principle of levers) to solve the problem of palace repairs, he unexpectedly gained the trust of some officials and eunuchs, and initially gained a foothold in the court. The emperor realized that "it is difficult to move without money" and began to use modern economic thinking to transform the Ming Dynasty. He encountered strong resistance from traditional forces and staged a funny tug-of-war between emperor and ministers. Through "commercial streets" and crop promotion, the state treasury initially saw a surplus, cultivating the first batch of "renovationist" officials to support itself, and forming a confrontation with the conservatives. The emperor successfully promoted the Ming Dynasty towards "semi-modernization", the treasury was full, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. He himself became the "hands-off shopkeeper", taking the queen and concubines for "private visits" every day to experience the "new life of the Ming Dynasty" he created, leaving behind a legendary "funny emperor" legend.
