As a model office drone, the first thing Song Xiaopo does after transmigrating into Su Shi is check whether his phone can still turn on. Watching its solar-powered case slowly charge the battery, he grins: it contains hundreds of gigabytes of infrastructure plans and management strategies! Faced with the cutthroat politics of the Song bureaucracy, Song Xiaopo refuses to play by the rules. Write an essay? A hand-drawn Excel spreadsheet is clearer and more impressive! Need funding? Grant shop franchises and fleece the rich! Need laborers? Give the monks KPIs! When the capital’s powerful families try to strangle his construction project by cutting off the supply of glutinous rice, Song Xiaopo follows a recipe on his phone and makes the Song dynasty’s first batch of silicate cement by hand! One shovel strikes, and the world is shaken. From then on, the Song bureaucracy has a chaos-bringing devil who knows nothing of refined arts and cares only about data and KPIs. The officials all cry that they can’t take it anymore!
