After Being Reborn, I Transmigrated Again

A ruler from the manufacturing world measures every corner of the Ming bureaucracy, sends the ravenous dogs to die in penal labor camps, and seizes money and resources to keep the Ming alive, only to end up sweeping the courtyard for his master. Once the broom has cleaned up, it should be burned.

"Here's the truth: I let you investigate, and only then can you investigate. I let you live, and only then can you live. Every corrupt official you uncover is a dog I no longer want. Every filthy patch you clean is part of the courtyard I intend to live in."

"Once the broom has finished sweeping, I reward it with a fire. If it dares say a single word against it..."

He pointed to the sky beyond the palace.

"Look at the sun. Does it care who lives or dies? All it does is shine. When things are dry, it burns them. When the fire is done, they scatter."

"That's what governance is."

"Understand?"

Cao Jin bowed. "This servant understands."

The emperor waved a hand. "The court is dismissed."
