The Clumsy Scale

Inside the body of a ten-year-old prime minister's son is the mind of a modern industrialist.

The rice jar is nearly empty, the frontier is under attack, and the court is rotten.

Rather than rely on favors from nobles, he starts with a basket of eggs, calculating provisions, building machines, and training a new army.

But reform is never just a grand plan on paper. With the scales in his hands, should he weigh money and grain, or human lives?

On the day his great undertaking is complete, he hands over all his power. People pass from the stage, but the table must remain in its place.
