Exiled to Shu: I Never Meant to Build a Heavenly Kingdom on Earth

#Comedy #Farming #Transmigration #PowerFantasy

After transmigrating to an ancient place of exile, Li Changgeng wants nothing more than to take it easy and live as a wealthy landowner.

But what do you do when your people are too “ambitious”?

Ma Bangde, former deputy county magistrate: “Young master, these refugees are too lazy. We need to whip them into shape!”

Li Changgeng: “Shut up! Four-hour workdays, double pay for overtime, and full coverage for workplace injuries!”

The workers: “??? Young master, you're a living Bodhisattva! We'll give our lives for you!”

Scholar Lü, a stuffy Confucian: “Young master, water flows downhill. That's the Way of Heaven. You insist on channeling it uphill, defying the teachings of the sages!”

Li Changgeng: “You numbskull, get the pipes set up. Let's use the siphon effect!”

Scholar Lü: “??? The water really climbed the wall? The sages misled me!”

His uncle, a director in the Ministry of Rites: “You rebel! You've gathered people to start an insurrection. Get on your knees and confess!”

Li Changgeng: “Uncle, try this bowl of spicy fish, then give this toilet paper a go. Let's sit down and talk about what ‘civilization’ means.”

His uncle: “...Um, nephew, are you looking for an accountant?”

This is the story of a modern office drone who uses “generous benefits” and “advanced technology” to corrupt the old society and turn a place of exile into a secluded paradise.

[The blurb can't do it justice. Read the story to see how the protagonist uses magic (science) to defeat magic (feudalism)!]
