If someone else traveled through time and became an emperor, they would start with three palaces and six courtyards, with overwhelming power over the world.
I traveled through time and became an emperor, and the start was a mess - the treasury was so poor that it was like a rat, Liaodong was beaten to nothing but pants, and Li Zicheng next door was still frantically blasting troops.
My name is Zhu Youjian, Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The previous one was able to reach Meishan in this position.
The good news is, I was an assembly line worker in my previous life.
The bad news is that apart from driving screws, arranging processes, and controlling yield, I don't have any golden fingers.
The cabinet said I broke the ancestral rules, and the nobles said I touched their cake.
Then give it a try - is your unspoken rule harder, or is my production line harder?
