The Yongzheng Emperor Raids the National Treasury in a Rage, and a Divine Baby Pops Out of the Treasure Basin

[No Romance + Three-Year-Old Toddler + Child of Fortune + Qing Dynasty Nation-Building + Everyone’s Wild Speculations]

A dual PhD in heavy industry and agriculture transmigrates to the first year of the Yongzheng reign.

The Qing treasury is so empty that even the rats have fled. The Eighth Prince’s faction is forcing the emperor’s hand at court, and wars rage across the northwest. The cold-faced Emperor Yinzhen is driven to pray to Heaven for blessings in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Then, with a loud clang, a chubby baby in a red bellyband, clutching a feeding bottle, tumbles out of the bronze treasure basin in the middle of the hall!

Little Hongyan has just woken up. He sleepily sneezes, and in an instant, the snow falling from the sky turns into glittering gold beans!

Yongzheng’s eyes turn red. “A heavenly blessing! Heaven has sent the God of Wealth to the Qing! My own son!”

No silver to pay the troops? Hongyan casually digs a hole in the imperial garden, and an astonishingly rich silver mine appears!

The common people have nothing to eat? Hongyan spits out a fruit pit, and by the next day a super potato crop yielding ten thousand jin per mu has grown!

From then on, life in the Qing takes a wildly unexpected turn:

The ruthless Yongzheng stops staying up late to read memorials and carries a rattle everywhere. “Thirteenth Brother, step aside. It’s my turn to wash our precious boy’s diapers today!”

The chivalrous Thirteenth Prince stops risking his life and becomes the ultimate bodyguard. “Anyone who dares wake my nephew is getting chopped in half!”

The Eighth and Ninth Princes, who had once planned to rebel, weep as they plead, “Your Majesty, we no longer want the throne! Just let us empty the little prince’s chamber pot at night!”
