Great Ming: The Anti-Scam Vanguard, From the Start I Fool Wei Zhongxian

[Historical Fantasy], [History], [System], [Transmigration], [Ming Dynasty], [from the start], [Soul Transmigration]

Cheng Shi transmigrates into the body of a seventh-rank county magistrate in the Great Ming. From the start, he is trapped in a hopeless situation: the Eastern Depot is investigating him for corruption, and he is as good as dead. To save his life, he is forced to launch an earth-shattering, cross-dimensional scam! "System alert: Target is an Eastern Depot Centurion. Greed index: 9.8. Begin your pyramid-scheme brainwashing immediately!" In this deeply corrupt Great Ming, where the nine frontier garrisons are desperately short of funds, Cheng Shi relies on his "Reverse Scam System" to embark on a grand venture of saving the nation through fraud. He hands subscription certificates to the wealthy gentry, sells the Embroidered Uniform Guard a pipe dream of stock options, and pitches Great Ming A-shares to the Donglin Party. While other corrupt officials risk their lives for money, he scams the entire class of corrupt officials into bankruptcy, then turns their ill-gotten gains into desperately needed provisions. Your Majesty, the presale for the concept of an imperial death-exemption token has been a huge success! The ministers have put their entire fortunes in our bank!" Faced with a furious barrage of impeachment petitions from the assembled officials, Cheng Shi does not panic. Instead, he casually pulls the scheming emperor into the deal as its guarantor. Watch as the Great Ming's greatest con artist uses a "Pinduoduo, slash the price" scheme to dupe the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old into ruin, then empties the Jurchen treasury with "mystery glass boxes"! The entire Ming court is just a field of leeks waiting for me, Cheng Shi, to harvest!
