[County Magistrate + Technology + Farming + Comedy + Scheming + Lighthearted Humor + No Female Lead]

In the seventh year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang travels incognito to Guiyang County, Hunan.

There, he discovers roads, brickworks, residential compounds, fire brigades, hotel suites, and all manner of things he has never heard of before.

Stunned, he learns that they were all created by Xu Shi, the county magistrate of Guiyang.

But he never expected Xu Shi to be a brazen, corrupt official who openly takes bribes, makes money in business, and collects kickbacks from merchants.

His home is filled with pavilions and towers of the utmost luxury, rare paintings, jade, and ancient books...

Zhu Biao: Meeting Xu Shi, a fine teacher, in this life is a blessing I earned over eight lifetimes.

Lan Yu: Xu Shi commands the business world just as I command the battlefield. He is a man of great talent.

The Japanese pirates: The great hero who destroyed our country is named Xu Shi.
