Building Infrastructure in Great Ming: Old Zhu Begs Me to Stop Outworking Everyone

In the Hongwu era of the Ming dynasty, I transmigrate into the Prince of Yan by accident.

Zhu Di is stunned. In the future, he won't have the ability to pull off a coup, so he launches the Jingnan Campaign and rebels against his nephew, Zhu Yunwen!

From the start, at the Hall of Fengtian, Zhu Yuanzhang asks him how to govern the country.

To activate the System, Zhu Di says something astonishing: "I believe governing a country is like roasting a duck!"

"You insolent fool!" The Hongwu Emperor flies into a rage and orders him to be beaten with a paddle!

That night, Empress Ma tearfully asks, "Fourth Son, have you gone mad?"

But Zhu Di is utterly unlike himself. "Mother, Father Emperor's policies are utterly foolish!"

"Ming paper currency is bound to collapse! The military farms are bound to fall into ruin! If we want the dynasty to last for generations, we need to build infrastructure!"

Behind the curtain, Zhu Yuanzhang overhears him and is shaken to the core. He completely loses his composure on the spot! "Get out! Go to Beiping! I'll see what kind of infrastructure you can build!"

Zhu Di accepts the decree, but several years later, Zhu Yuanzhang travels incognito and is completely dumbfounded.

Wait, I told you to build infrastructure, and you brought electricity to all of Beiping?!
