I Just Want to Go Home, So How Did I Become Emperor?

[Transmigration + Years of Disaster + Farming + Hegemony + System]

Zhou Ye transmigrated.

The System gave him ten thousand taels of silver and told him that once he spent it all, he could go home.

Zhou Ye was delighted.

Who didn't know how to spend money?

But after he painstakingly spent his first batch of silver...

[Congratulations, Host, you've triggered a tenfold reward and received one hundred thousand taels of silver!]

Zhou Ye: "???"

To get home, he had no choice but to squander money as fast as he could.

Buy land, hire workers, build roads, construct cities, provide disaster relief...

But he soon discovered a devastating fact:

The more he spent, the more money he had.

If he couldn't spend it all in Qinghe County, he'd go to the neighboring county.

If he couldn't spend it all in a prefecture, he'd conquer a province.

If he still couldn't spend it all in a province...

Zhou Ye stared at the map of the realm and fell silent for a long time. "How about turning the whole world into Qinghe County?"

Many years later.

Zhou Ye sat on the dragon throne, gazing at the mountains of silver piled up in the national treasury, and finally broke down.

"I swear, I really just wanted to go home!"
