The Little County Magistrate Is Forced to Ascend the Throne (Infrastructure Building)

[Complete] A feel-good male-lead story about building infrastructure and farming, with almost no romance, so read without worry. Chen Gengnian transmigrated. He became a 17-year-old spoiled heir of an official, a county magistrate who had bullied men and women, oppressed the locals, had nothing in his head, and bought his position with money. Fortunately, he was bound to the Little County Magistrate System. [Ding! Host, earn the support of a randomly selected resident of Jiang County to receive a set of blueprints for farming plows and tools!] The day Chen Gengnian took office, everyone in Jiang County was overcome with grief: Our county is doomed, sooner or later. But after the county magistrate developed plows, fertilizer, cement, soybean oil, cotton, and even firearms and cannons... everyone said: Heh, turns out this is great. - Several years later. The Little Ice Age arrived. The dynasty fell apart, warlords carved up the land, and natural and man-made disasters struck one after another. A place called Jiang County suddenly became the talk of the realm. "I hear people in Jiang County live in cement-brick houses, wear cotton clothes, eat meat at every meal, and enjoy fried sugar cakes and ice cream for dessert!" The refugees, who had not eaten in three days, stared wide-eyed. "I hear school in Jiang County is free, top students get scholarships, and graduates are even assigned farmland and detached villas!" Students who could not afford a home wept with envy. "I hear five thousand steppe cavalry went to Jiang County to seize supplies, but were blasted by cannons and forced to kneel and surrender on the spot!" Generals without modern weapons were so jealous they went mad. Life is so awful, I can't bear another day of it. We should leave for Jiang County right now and seek refuge with County Magistrate Chen Gengnian. Let's ask him to restore order to this chaotic age and save the people! #I'd rather sleep in a bed in Jiang County than own a house in the capital# #You're this incredible, so why be a county magistrate? Ascend the throne, now!# #The male lead: How I bound myself to the Little County Magistrate System and dutifully kept my head down and completed missions, only to do such a good job that the whole world demanded I ascend the throne# #Hey, put down that imperial robe and let's talk this out!# #Help, I really don't want to become emperor!# PS 1: Male-lead, romance-light, infrastructure-building wish fulfillment, with a golden finger System and a sparse romance plot. Recommend my next upcoming novel: The Wonderful Life of a Hundred-Billion-Yuan Heiress Here is the blurb: After binding to a System, Shen Qingcheng learned that she was the real heiress and female supporting character in a novel. The System said: Due to an oversight by the agency that handles transmigration into books, your looks, intelligence, cunning, and abilities were all mistakenly set to the highest level, making you superior to the original male and female leads in every way. As long as you agree not to interfere with their relationship, you'll receive a reward of ten billion yuan. Shen Qingcheng: Is this really an option? If she hesitated for even a second, it would be disrespectful to those ten billion yuan. But ten billion yuan was far too much to give out all at once. It would upset the balance of the book's world, so the System would pay Shen Qingcheng in installments through sign-in tasks. Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing the mission "A Day as an On-Duty Cleaner." Reward: one Lamborghini sports car. After working late one night, the owner of a company ran into a cleaner in the parking lot while driving his BMW 3 Series. He offered to give her a ride home, but she shook her head and pulled a Lamborghini supercar key out of her pocket instead. The owner: ? Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing the mission "A Day Selling Fried Rice at a Street Stall." Reward: ten apartment buildings beside the food street. A crew from a TV station's show Ordinary Life was filming a hardworking girl making fried rice at the food street. They asked if she was having a hard time. The girl asked the reporter to help carry her unsold fried rice into her Lamborghini, then sighed that owning ten buildings made collecting rent exhausting and troublesome. The reporter: ? Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing the mission "A Day as an Extra Playing a Princess." Reward: a prince's mansion within Beijing's Second Ring Road. During the filming of a period drama's princess scenes, an extra complained that the set was too shabby. She then brought the crew to film at her own mansion within the Second Ring Road, explaining that this was where a princess would really live, and that TV dramas should strive for authenticity rather than treating the audience like fools. The director: ? When the wealthy Lin family learned that their long-lost biological daughter had fallen so low that she was working as a cleaner and an extra, they immediately announced they were cutting ties with her, afraid she was after their fortune. The real heiress, Shen Qingcheng, let out a huge sigh of relief: I've finally been waiting for this day! Wonderful! I won't have to share my billions in cash, dozens of private islands, hundreds of houses, countless company shares and property rights, antiques and paintings, cruise ships, planes, sports cars, hotels, hospitals, real estate developments, mines, ranches, and all the rest with these poor people. The Lin family: ? Moral: Technology makes a nation strong and benefits all its people.
