The Road to Promotion in the Great Ming

(My next book will be "I'm Running a Street Stall in the Ming Dynasty." If you're interested, feel free to add it to your collection~~) Qin Xiuwen once wielded immense influence in the financial world. One day, he transmigrated into the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli era, becoming a lowly county magistrate. The previous magistrate had held a minor post but possessed quite the nerve. After counting the silver stored at home, Qin Xiuwen broke into a cold sweat. Was this amount enough to get him beheaded even once? In modern times, Qin Xiuwen worked in finance. He knew how to make decisive moves in the financial markets and trade stocks, but managing the livelihood of an entire region? He'd never done that before! Still, to save his own life, Qin Xiuwen worked hard to be an honest, upright official. He controlled floods, supported agriculture, and repaired a broken bridge. He'd done so many good things for the people, yet the higher his position rose, the more people came to offer him silver, and the larger their bribes became! Qin Xiuwen laughed in frustration. "Please, everyone, stop bringing me gifts! Really, stop! I like silver, but I value my life even more!" Wanli laughed. "No matter. Just give it to me instead." This is the rise of a petty corrupt official. Watch Qin Xiuwen take one steady step at a time, turn the world upside down, and plan everything with confidence, achieving feats never before or since seen! Divider Here are some upcoming works by the author. Check the author's page for details: "The Little Widow of the Ming Dynasty" "I'm Running a Street Stall in the Ming Dynasty" "Please Help Me Become a CEO" If any of these sound interesting, feel free to add them to your collection. Thank you! Entry reason for the Growth and Comeback writing contest, "I Was Born with a Purpose": This is Qin Xiuwen's journey of turning his life around. He starts as a low-ranking official whom everyone looks down on, then gradually makes his way to the center of power.
