I Want to Slack Off, but My Ministers Won’t Let Me

When Wang Jianguo, a 996 office drone, had his soul transmigrate into the body of the Hongzhi Emperor, Zhu Youtang, he planned to lie flat and do nothing. Instead, he unexpectedly unlocked a golden finger of modern knowledge. He overturned court sessions with PowerPoint, reformed the bureaucracy with KPIs, ended famine with potatoes and sweet potatoes, and blasted open the world’s gates with mighty ships and cannons. He had only wanted to coast along until the end, but under his ministers’ “pressure,” he gradually led the long-troubled Great Ming to an unprecedented peak of prosperity. This time, I won’t just slack off. I’ll make the whole world tremble at my “unorthodox” ways!
