Chen Sangen, born in the 1990s, is a former Meituan rider. He runs 2,000 orders a month and has zero tolerance for negative reviews.
One day while delivering food while climbing stairs, his phone's GPS twitched and navigated him directly to Jiangning County, where he lived for three years in Yongle.
There is no system, no gold finger, no grandpa ring, just a mobile phone with 17% battery left and a takeout uniform.
He can't make gunpowder, make steel, or recite three hundred Tang poems - he can only deliver takeaways.
But just such a person who could only run errands survived in the Ming Dynasty.
The reason was simple: the county government clerk's office was drowned and there was a shortage of people. Chen Sangen happened to be able to write, he happened to be very hungry, and he happened to be caught red-handed. So the dignified delivery knight of the 21st century took up his post with honor and became an errand boy below the ninth rank of the Ming Dynasty.
From delivering official documents to the county magistrate, to running errands for the prefect to buy soy sauce, to helping the commander-in-chief deliver discounts - Chen Sangen discovered that this job is essentially the same as delivering food: take the order, deliver it, and don't spill it.
The difference is that there is no deduction for late delivery, but a discount.
But Chen San has a track that no one else has: he has six hundred years of knowledge in his head.
He can't build a steam engine, but he knows that "division of labor" can improve efficiency; he can't memorize "Yongle Dadian", but he knows that "indexing" is faster than flipping through books; he can't fight, but he knows that "logistics" determine the outcome of a war.
At first, he just helped the county government organize case files and developed the first "file management system" in the Ming Dynasty.
Later, he helped the prefect to plan water transportation routes and saved 30% of the freight.
Later, the gang was given the command and control
