I Became Chongzhen's Supplier

In the fourteenth year of the Chongzhen reign of the Great Ming, the Little Ice Age had reached its most severe point. A plague was brewing in the capital, Luoyang had already fallen, and the emperor was still fretting over the situation in Liaodong. It was at this precarious moment that... Chen Ye, a lucky employee at a time-trading shop, was matched with the Chongzhen Emperor. The Chongzhen Emperor: Buy grain. Buy radios. Buy guidance from immortals. Sell gold. Sell minerals. Sell anything the Great Ming can spare. I want this realm to be Ming territory wherever the sunlight shines. With the immortals’ guidance and a complete system of knowledge, I will build a new Ming Dynasty with distinctly Ming characteristics. Chen Ye: Don’t ask. The Yongle Encyclopedia, ancient secret manuals, and the extinct-animal sanctuary of all nations really did just grow out of the ground.
