Qin Mo transmigrates to the Great Qin dynasty, rising from the ranks of the common soldiers and making plans in the imperial court.
The First Emperor personally bestows on him the title of Marquis Who Guards the State, with a fief of one hundred thousand households. He also appoints him Right Chancellor, placing the empire's power in his hands.
But after Qin Mo takes in thousands of guests and servants, Court Commandant Li Si impeaches him.
The First Emperor and all the court officials come to the Marquis Who Guards the State's residence to investigate, only to discover that Qin Mo has spent his entire fortune educating the talented young people of Great Qin. As a result, he lives in a thatched hut and eats leftovers from the previous night. His life is truly miserable.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, is heartbroken. “My dear minister, you are a marquis of Great Qin, a chancellor, and The Outcast, second only to me and above millions. How can you treat yourself so harshly? Help yourself to a little extra. It’s fine! Great Qin will not allow its prime minister to be this poor!”
Qin Mo silently unfolds a map of the world.
“Your Majesty, Great Qin is poor too. Look, where should we campaign this time?”
