Great Ming: One Tael of Silver Every Minute, Building an Empire Where the Sun Never Sets

The good news: Zhu You transmigrated and became the Ming Emperor. The bad news: It's early March in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and the rebel Li Chuang will breach the outer city in fifteen days. The Jianzhou Jurchens loom in the north, while rebel forces press in from the west. Natural and man-made disasters strike together. The entire court is rotten to the core, the treasury is so empty that mice could run through it, and yet the civil and military officials clutch their mountains of gold while crying poverty. The Ming Dynasty is a collapsing house, balanced on the brink of disaster. Just as Zhu You is about to despair, the System awakens! What? One tael of silver automatically credited every minute? With money, he can buy food, weapons, and loyal soldiers, and even unlock World War I and World War II technology! Well, what are we waiting for? Kill! Kill the civil officials whose infighting ruins the country, the corrupt officials who suck it dry, the nobles richer than the nation, and the merchants who betray their country and defect to the enemy! Silver pours into his coffers. He arms a new army, and red-coated cannons blast the rebels to pieces! At first, all he wanted was to hold out a few more days and send the Crown Prince to Nanjing. But later... When the shop upgrades and unlocks Maxim machine guns, when steam trains thunder through Shanhai Pass, when World War II tanks roll over the Jianzhou Jurchen camps... Zhu Lian realizes that this rotten Ming Dynasty can not only be saved, it can also fight its way across the world and build a new empire on which the sun never sets! "My Ming Dynasty won't just survive. It will stand at the pinnacle of the world!"
