Other transmigrators become emperors and scheme against powerful ministers or fight for military command. I transmigrate as Li Zhi and immediately have one thing to worry about: I'm broke.
Setting up a national security spy network requires funding. Printing the Great Tang Daily requires materials. Even the cement road connecting us to Goguryeo will cost tens of millions.
Zhangsun Wuji obstructs me at every turn, and both the state treasury and the imperial coffers are stretched thin. My grand plans can't get off the ground.
So I put aside the court's power struggles and start working on a guide to getting rich, tailor-made for the Tang Dynasty.
I improve farming and sericulture to boost yields and income, then open trading houses to rake in gold and silver. By farming and doing business, I'll fill both the imperial coffers and the state treasury.
Once my pockets are full, I'll shape public opinion, build roads, and establish a spy network. With money and food in one hand and new policies in the other, I'll compete through wealth, not schemes, and build a prosperous empire that flourishes among all nations!
