Shen Yan was transmigrated into the role of a Tang Dynasty county magistrate, and all he wanted was to lie flat.
Raise fat cats, invent things, and live like a little emperor in a small county. What could be better?
Until one day, a middle-aged merchant named Li Er kept showing up to mooch meals, bringing along his rebellious son.
Shen Yan casually gave them advice on how to build roads, make money, and deal with troublesome troublemakers who wouldn't listen.
He taught them offhandedly, but they took his lessons seriously.
Later... an imperial decree arrived at the county yamen.
Staring at Li Shimin and his son, both looking as if to say, "Surprised?" Shen Yan was dumbfounded.
Was it too late to run?
All I wanted was to live a carefree life, and now you want me to be the emperor's tutor?
