The First-Rank Official of the Ming Dynasty Was Actually a Death Row Prisoner at the Beginning

When financial analyst Xu Xingyuan woke up, he was actually imprisoned in the gloomy prison of Wanli for ten years, and became a death row prisoner who was ordered to be executed by the Emperor Qiu in the Xingbian Admonition Case. The sea of ​​grievances is deep, and there is only one month left to live; there are mountains of ironclad cases, involving unpredictable dangers in the palace and the court. Seriously injured and with nothing, Xu Xingyuan possesses the sharpest weapon - cognition and insight across time and space. The jailer's greed became a gap, and the market fluctuations became a bargaining chip. He pried a glimmer of hope in a certain death situation. Redress of injustice is only the starting point. After getting out of trouble, Xu Xingyuan interpreted stereotypes with modern thinking. With his accurate economic prediction and data analysis capabilities, he stepped through the imperial examination step by step and integrated into the treacherous officialdom game of the late Ming Dynasty. From the county examination to the palace examination, from local experience to the central power struggle, he dealt with the Zhejiang Party, the Qi Party, and Donglin. He was in the midst of the national struggle, the Liaodong War, and the financial crisis, and he was shocked at every step. He improved the tax system and touched the foundation of interests by "paying grain to both officials and gentry"; he revitalized industry and commerce, using shipping and banking to leverage the economic lifeline; he promoted practical learning and planted the seeds of change in the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College. Every step is like walking on thin ice, and every innovation leads to open and covert attacks. Powerful calculations are like chess, and he needs to deal with the crazy counterattack of the conservative faction, the viciousness of the eunuchs, and the suspicion and neglect of Emperor Wanli himself. This is a huge gamble with the world at stake, a difficult transformation in the gaps of history. See how modern souls integrated into the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, using wisdom as a blade and power as a shield to win over the world, reform politics, and reach the top of power. They tried to prolong the life of the empire, but they also unknowingly changed the flow of history.
