Shen Mo, a scholar from a poor family, traveled to the thirteenth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty and became the poorest junior student in the county school.
The logical thinking of a science student in his previous life allowed him to see through the routines of eight-part essays, and he scored three consecutive points in the county examination, government examination, and college examination.
However, the officialdom is not an examination room - classmates from the county school framed him, taught him to suppress him, and the prefect calculated, every step he took was on the edge of a knife.
From a county student to the chief minister of the cabinet, he dealt with historical giants such as Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Zhang Juzheng. In the whirlpool of party struggle, border defense, taxation, and reform, he made a living for the children of poor families.
This is the story of an ordinary person who, after traveling through time, struggled to survive in the real Ming Dynasty officialdom without a system or a golden finger, relying only on modern knowledge and awe of history.
