Starting from 1618 of the Ming Dynasty

In the 46th year of the Wanli reign, the Jurchen Jurchens were sharpening their swords, the imperial court was in a state of decadence, and famine ravaged the land during the Little Ice Age. Lu Yan, a seasoned overseas engineering director, transmigrated into the body of a poor, indebted scholar in Yanzhou, Shandong, forced into a corner by local gentry to "sacrifice" himself. Faced with this doomed Ming Dynasty, Lu Yan didn't choose to be a loyal subject trying to mend things; instead, he displayed the extreme ruthlessness of engineering management: "For a dilapidated building beyond repair, the only solution is—demolition and reconstruction!" From monopolizing maritime trade with Japan to amassing wealth, to building a modern war machine capable of overwhelming the enemy, in this era of competing in ruins, Lu Yan used the precision of an engineer and the ruthlessness of a tyrant to rebuild the backbone of Han civilization from the ruins with steel and gunpowder! "I came to the Ming Dynasty to do only three things: make money, recruit people, and establish a new order!"
