Great Ming: From the Start with Ten Coins to a Fortune Beyond the Nation!

Transmigrated to the Jingtai era of the Ming dynasty, Lin Yu faces hell-level difficulty from the start: his family has nothing, his mother is frail and ill, and a burly butcher is blocking the door with a boning knife, demanding repayment of five taels of silver! His classmates laugh at him and say he should pay off the debt by slaughtering pigs.

Fortunately, his "Choice System" awakens!

What can you do with ten copper coins? Buy a pile of potatoes for pig feed, heat up the oil, and get cooking!

One batch of crispy, tender fried potatoes is enough to take the whole county of Qingshan by storm!

Local thugs try to flip his stall and extort protection money? A ladle of scalding oil will teach them how to behave!

Rich merchants try to cut off his supply and choke him out? Modern competitive bidding will crush the local kingpins!

Watch as Lin Yu, a down-and-out poor scholar, casts off the stuffy airs of a man of letters and uses his business acumen and cooking skills from his past life to build the Ming dynasty's first commercial empire, starting with a roadside snack stall. He tramples bullies, battles crooked merchants, and makes allies in the government. The county magistrate treats him as an honored guest, and even the emperor himself has to beg him for a loan to fund the war!
