Great Ming: From the Start, I Save Shen Wanshan

[A feel-good Ming dynasty tale of business glory and behind-the-scenes scheming!]

After transmigrating to the Hongwu era, I become Gu Qingyun, a poor scholar, and face hellish difficulty from the start! Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming dynasty, is to be executed tomorrow, and his whole family is about to be wiped out!

At this critical moment, my god-tier golden finger, the Sandbox of All Things, awakens! I can simulate technologies and optimize processes. Business ideas six hundred years ahead of their time are my greatest trump card!

While everyone else is still struggling to pass the imperial exams, I save Shen Wansan, marry a beautiful rich girl, and secure my startup capital in one fell swoop! Glass, cement, new-style seagoing ships... I create one revolutionary technology after another, astonishing the entire Ming dynasty!

I use Jiangnan as my chessboard to outmaneuver the powerful ministers, and the northern frontier as my battlefield to match wits with fierce generals. I start newspapers, open banks, and establish schools. Before I know it, I've become the true heart and purse strings of the Ming dynasty!

The court officials are left in awe, imagining me to be a peerless schemer who has planned for every contingency. The Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, relies on me to enrich the country and strengthen its military, yet remains wary of me! But my real goal is to defy fate, support the benevolent Crown Prince Zhu Biao, and stand against the future Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, who will launch the Jingnan campaign!

This novel moves at a breakneck pace, packed with satisfying moments and decisive action, with no frustrating setbacks! See how the protagonist uses money and ingenuity to turn the entire Ming dynasty into his own golden age!
