Lu Mingyuan transformed from a modern county magistrate to a seventh-grade county magistrate, facing a mess and an intricate web of interests. He used modern management thinking to break the situation, starting from Qingquan County, recruiting talents, fighting powerful people, punishing corruption, and implementing new policies. From county magistrate to state official, and finally to the cabinet to worship the prime minister. This is a story about a career promotion in ancient officialdom. It is also an epic story about an idealist using pragmatic means to stick to his original intention and transform the era in the whirlpool of power.
Intention: A modern ruler uses construction instead of subversion, persists in compromise, and walks a long and lonely road of institutional reform in ancient officialdom.
