Great Ming: Don't Try to Stop Me from Executing Wei Zhongxian, I Want to Make Money

He transmigrates into the body of Prince Xin, Zhu Youjian. The Tianqi Emperor dies from the start, and there are seventeen years left before he hangs himself at Coal Hill!

The court officials want me to kill Wei Zhongxian? The Donglin faction clamors that the court is full of upright men?

Sorry, I’m a top-notch headhunter. I don’t care whether someone is loyal or treacherous, only what they’re worth!

A treacherous official? That’s just a “high-risk, high-return” asset in the wrong position.

Wei Zhongxian is good at raising money and stirring things up? Then keep him on as the Ming’s chief fundraiser!

Wen Tiren is skilled at balancing factions at court? Then keep him on a short leash as a pawn to hold the Donglin faction in check!

A loyal official? That’s a “strategic resource” that needs to be put in exactly the right place.

Sun Chuanting is a capable general, but prone to attracting suspicion? Quickly pull him out of the factional struggles and assign him exclusively to suppressing bandits on the front lines!

Lu Xiangsheng is loyal but short on resources? Give him elite troops and have him sign a “performance-based wager”...

“Gentlemen, I don’t care about morality here, only performance and returns. Those who can bring in money will be promoted and rewarded. Those who drag us down will be dealt with.”

“As for the rope at Coal Hill... let’s save it for Huang Taiji!”
