Contracting the Ming Dynasty

A trade analyst dies in an accident and transmigrates to the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, becoming the live-in son-in-law of a wealthy merchant family.

He originally thought he would be like the protagonists of transmigration novels, making a fortune in ancient times, becoming richer than an empire, and living surrounded by wives and concubines.

That is, until he meets the Wanli Emperor, the famed, infamous emperor of a single line....

"Your Majesty, about this commoner's commission... ?"

"Don't worry, it won't be short. I will have the Ministry of Revenue pay you right away."

"Your Majesty, you previously asked me to help drain the imperial treasury and fill the inner treasury. Now the treasury has nothing left but rat droppings!"

"In that case, I shall simply contract out the imperial treasury to you again."

"...... Your Majesty, I have something to say, though I don't know if I should say it?"

"Speak freely."

"MMP!"
