Great Ming: I Ruin the Old Zhu's Plans by Sending Him Spicy Strips

I transmigrated into the Ming dynasty as Zhu Xingjian, the long-lost grandson of the old emperor Zhu. From the start, I bound myself to a God-Tier Spendthrift System: the more I squander, the stronger the Ming dynasty’s national fortunes become!

As long as I marry, have children, and spend without restraint, I can exchange for an unlimited supply of modern cola, spicy latiao snacks, self-heating hot pot, and even cutting-edge military technology!

On my wedding day, I carried in a bag of Weilong latiao and two cases of ice-cold cola, then shoved open the door to the Hongwu Emperor’s study.

“Grandpa, try this ‘Nine-Turn Red Ribbon.’ It’ll help you live longer!”

Zhu Yuanzhang took one bite of the spicy snack and burst into tears from the heat. He cried out that an immortal had descended and insisted, sobbing, on making me Crown Prince.

My cousin Zhu Yunwen tried to frame me with a dragon robe?

A rat army moved it overnight, replacing it with his mother’s bribery ledger and a witchcraft doll. The two of them were sent straight to the cold palace, where they could enjoy a mother-and-son sightseeing tour of sweeping the streets!

Jiangnan merchants were hoarding goods and creating a famine?

I countered by dumping endless supplies of modern polished white rice and luncheon meat on the market, crashing grain prices and forcing the tycoons to line up to jump into the Qinhuai River!

The Duke of Wei and the Grand Secretary didn’t believe in immortal treasures?

One bowl of braised beef noodles and one packet of cold medicine later, the two old men were hooked. Wearing sales uniforms from the Crown Prince’s residence, they tearfully hawked instant noodles in the shop.

By the time the Ming dynasty was fully industrialized, old Zhu was stroking his newly black hair and clinging to my leg, weeping:

“Dear grandson, please stop squandering! You can have the throne. I’m begging you, hurry up and ascend!”

Watch Zhu Xingjian, the Ming dynasty’s spendthrift crown prince, use modern spicy latiao to plant the Ming dragon banner across the globe!
