He transmigrates to the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty and becomes Zhu Gaochi, heir to the Prince of Yan, at just eight years old!
Bound to a god-tier sign-in System, he spots a Northern Yuan spy at a glance from the start. Following the clues, he seizes the Jin merchants' fortune worth tens of millions, stunning the entire court!
Who says an eight-year-old can only play in the dirt? In this life, he'll lead the Ming Dynasty on a breakneck charge into a golden age of industry!
Build the economy: mint silver currency, launch a stock market, establish a central bank, and use economic warfare to reap profits around the globe, leaving Old Zhu counting money until his hands cramp!
Build industry: mine coal, smelt steel, build tanks, and lay railways. The torrent of steam will crush anyone who dares resist!
Build the military: conquer Japan, pacify Annam, capture the Yuan emperor alive, and reclaim the Imperial Seal, planting the Ming dragon banner across the world!
Zhu Di: “My son, you take the throne. I'll be your general and lead the charge!”
Lan Yu: “His Highness's Divine Engine Battalion is the best in the world. Cavalry? Just sitting targets!”
Zhu Yuanzhang: “My proudest achievement in this life is having such a fine imperial grandson!”
“Anyone who dares oppose Gaochi's new policies will have their skin flayed!”
Starting at the age of eight, he'll forge the Ming into an empire on which the sun never sets!
