All My Ministers Have Time-Traveled to the Present

[The plan goes into action in Chapter Ten]

Qi Chengming transmigrated into a novel about a fight for the throne. With the help of a construction System, he successfully ruled as emperor for a lifetime, then faked his death and returned to the real world after dying of old age.

"My air conditioner, shower, hot pot, and spicy hot pot skewers! Ahhh!"

At last, he was free!

Qi Chengming's eyes welled with tears. Who could understand? Even though he had brought all the technology granted by the System to the ancient world, none of those conveniences could compare to the modern world. He'd been dreaming of coming back. Sob...

But.

When he woke up, why was this crowd of ancient people packed into his living room, waiting for him?!

.

The foremost scholar, Academician Mu; Grand Preceptor Wu, whose students filled the realm; Minister of Personnel He Santie; General Wang Shuo; Chief Eunuch Song Gu from the imperial palace... Every one of them was his trusted aide and capable general in the ancient world. Even the head chef he favored most from the imperial kitchen had come through.

"Your Majesty," Song Gu said, looking at him hopefully. "It seems we can't go back."

Qin Liusong, an academician of the Grand Secretariat, hurried to kneel first. "I am willing to follow Your Majesty here!"

"We will follow Your Majesty!" the ministers declared, their voices ringing out.

.

Qi Chengming felt his vision go black again and again. "You can't say that! This is modern society. I was born and raised a good citizen. We can't bring back feudalism."

This is seriously illegal!

Besides, how was he supposed to support dozens of undocumented people all by himself?!

.

After sitting across from each other and scratching their heads, Qi Chengming finally found a solution in the System's shop:

[One-time Group Teleportation Talisman, Cost: 100,000 Points]

Qi Chengming slowly asked his ministers, "Have you heard of Shennongjia?"

No one could get into the depths of Shennongjia, so this was the only way to solve the problem of dozens of people without documentation all at once!

Wilderness survival, here we come.

Not long afterward, explosive news from China hit the top of the trending charts. Several of the top posts were about the same story:

#Ancient Village Discovered Deep in Shennongjia!#

#Mystery of Shennongjia's Wild Men Finally Solved After Years#

#A Real-Life Peach Blossom Spring#

.

"The next thing we need to think about is how to make a living." Qi Chengming already had a plan, and continued the small meeting with his trusted aides.

"The officials are even more concerned than we are, and the support is pretty generous. Why don't we lease a mountain in Shennongjia and build an ancient-style tourist resort? You're still generals and academicians here, just as you were before. Keep doing what you normally do. I won't let you struggle to make ends meet."

The construction System he'd gotten when he transmigrated into the book had come along too. This was right up its alley!

The ministers looked at one another. None of them objected. "Yes, Your Majesty."

Qi Chengming quickly stopped them. "Wrong. From now on, you have to call me Village Chief!"

"Yes, Village Chief!!"
