Yangzhou Prefecture, Great Ming: Every Person Gives Me One Tael of Silver a Day

[Light Historical Fiction] [Zhu Yuanzhang] [No Female Lead] [System]

In the second year of Hongwu, the new dynasty has just been founded. Yangzhou is littered with corpses, and the people are reduced to eating their own children.

Yang Xian transmigrates into this world and becomes the unlucky man from history who shares his name. To make himself look good, the original Yang Xian faked an auspicious omen. A few years later, Zhu Yuanzhang will sentence him to a brutal death.

“Liu Bowen, my good teacher, is the mess at the Yangzhou prefecture really something anyone can take on?”

Fortunately, just after arriving in Yangzhou, he activates the One Person, One City System.

For every registered resident of Yangzhou Prefecture he binds to the System, he receives one tael of silver each day.

Refugees? Come register in Yangzhou at once! Food, lodging, wages, and even a wife are provided!

While officials elsewhere pinch every penny and stretch their treasuries to make ends meet, Yang Xian has a daily headache of his own: how should he spend the piles of silver the System keeps generating?

As Yangzhou changes with each passing day, new problems emerge. There is more and more silver in the cellar, so much that... it is almost running out of room. Where can he hide it?

How can he control soaring prices, evade the court's notice, and survive longer amid Old Zhu's suspicion and mistrust?
