The Soul Travels Through Wanli: from the Saltworks Clerk to the Daming Pillar

A modern financial and taxation auditor, studying the salt law of the Ming Dynasty, was electrocuted while staying up late writing a paper. The soul is transformed into a clerk in Taizhou Saltworks: - Corrupt boss - Zao households (salt producers) were exploited into selling their sons and daughters - The proliferation of illegal salt, unsaleable official salt, and national treasury deficit - Due to the lack of salt and pay in the border town, the morale of the soldiers was unstable.
