# Exiled to Yunnan? I'll Build an Empire Instead
Other people transmigrate as crown princes or emperors. Lin Chen, on the other hand, was hit by a freight truck hauling cabbages and transmigrated into Zhu Su, the Prince of Zhou, the most unfortunate prince in history.
From the start, the difficulty is set to hell: after leaving his fief without permission, he's just been dragged back to Nanjing by Zhu Yuanzhang, and now he's about to be exiled to plague-ridden Yunnan.
Luckily, he gets the [Great Ming Poverty Alleviation System]. He assumes it'll hand out seeds and farm tools to improve people's lives, but the moment he opens the shop, he goes speechless:
Dongfeng-41 intercontinental missiles? One billion Poverty Relief Points each!
One-megaton hydrogen bombs? Five hundred million Poverty Relief Points each!
An aircraft carrier like the Liaoning? Eight billion Poverty Relief Points each!
Lin Chen: ??? So your “super poverty relief” just gives me a cheat to wipe out entire nations?
Other exiles weep and wail, but he sets off happily, carrying potatoes and sweet potatoes.
He puts down bandit unrest, treats the miasma, and grows high-yield crops, turning a barren land of exile into the empire's granary.
A rebellious son wants to report him for treason? He gets rid of him ahead of time to prevent future trouble.
The Jianwen Emperor wants to curb the power of the princes? Everyone else panics, but Lin Chen leads thirty thousand elite troops and newly built cannons north in a counterattack.
Zhu Yuanzhang: “I exiled a wastrel. How did he become the overlord of western Yunnan?”
Zhu Di: “Fifth Brother, wait! How did you become the main character of the Jingnan Campaign?”
Lin Chen shrugs: “I only wanted to help people out of poverty. How did I accidentally become emperor?”
