Good news: I am dressed as the grandson of the Ming Dynasty Emperor, a noble man in the sky.
Bad news: It's the son of Emperor Taichang who died young. The two younger brothers are Tianqi and Chongzhen, known as the "PRO MAX version of the brothers who subjugated the country."
I exist just to wipe the butts of these two cheaters.
But I have a Ph. D. In economics, and my way of wiping my butt is a little different.
Scene 1
The court is poor and the treasury is empty.
I threw out the "double-entry accounting method" and asked the chief officers of each department to learn it.
Result: The Minister of Revenue looked at the "debit/loan" balance sheet, foamed at the mouth, and went into shock on the spot.
The ministers said: "Your Highness, this is Western witchcraft, and it is bringing trouble to the imperial court!"
Scene 2
Liaodong was defeated and people were panicked.
I submitted a 10,000-word "Data Analysis Report on the Causes of the Liao Incident's Failure".
Result: The bosses of the Ministry of War studied for three days and three nights, but could not understand the coordinate axes and percentages.
Sun Chengzong (shocked): "Your Highness, what is this 'logistics cost curve'? Can it predict the defeat point of an army?!"
Scene 3
After I ascended the throne, I named Zhu Youxiao the "King of Craftsmen" and asked him to concentrate on carpentry.
I asked him to design a new warship.
Result: He built me an extremely luxurious and meticulously crafted dragon boat that would sink in the water.
Zhu Youxiao (with an innocent look on his face): "Brother Emperor, it's beautiful, isn't it?"
Me (temples beating wildly): Forget it, I'll do it myself. Chongzhen, don't even think about it. You have no chance to take the blame for the country's subjugation!
