Great Ming: A Nine-to-Five Life in the Hongwu Era

After transmigrating to the Hongwu era, Yue Lin, magistrate of Fengyang County, is unexpectedly impeached for corruption by the powerful minister Hu Weiyong!

The emperor is furious and goes incognito to investigate. Naturally, Old Zhu, mistaken for a nouveau riche, receives a warm welcome from Yue Lin.

"This is a breech-loading rifle. Buy one, and the Northern Yuan barbarians will be wiped out. Everyone will have to show you some respect!"

"This is a workshop. Ten-year-old children can play marbles, and centenarians can roll walnuts in their hands. Export the goods and you'll make a fortune!"

"This is a welfare home. The elderly will be cared for and the children raised. If your descendants neglect you, you can move in for free!"

Yue Lin could only think that the young men standing behind the nouveau riche Old Zhu were looking at him with murderous intent.

"By the Mandate of Heaven, the emperor decrees: Yue Lin is hereby ordered to commit corruption, so that our Great Ming may grow rich and strong!"
