Era Story Novels

【Era + Temporary Work System + Daily Life + Building a Career】

Qin Manxue transmigrated.

Looking at the neighborhood committee office right in front of her, then at her "poisonous" best friend who was eloquently trying to talk her into going to the countryside, Qin Manxue delivered a flying kick, sending the person flying. She then clapped her hands: "Hmph! She and her Beijing household registration are welded together, nobody can separate them. Going to the countryside? No way."

Work?

No need to look for it.

The Temporary Worker System proactively sends work to her.

And so...

After working diligently for over ten years, all her family members became regular employees in a flash, while she alone remained a temporary worker.

But...

Second Brother: "Manman, here's half of my salary for this month."

Third Cousin: "Manman, here's mine."

......

Holding the salaries handed over by all her siblings and cousins, and glancing at the pile of money and valuables in the corner, Qin Manxue put her hands on her hips and laughed heartily: "Hahaha~~, being a temporary worker is good, being a temporary worker is wonderful. The regular employees are all working for me!"

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, raw iron costs 9 wen per jin, wheat costs 0.7 liang per dan, and millet costs 0.5 liang per dan.

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, central government revenue is approximately 10 million liang of silver plus 4 million dan of tribute grain. Local revenues including junyao silver, minzhuang silver, lijia silver, and post station silver amount to about 10,000 to 20,000 liang per county.

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, the population is roughly 150 to 200 million, far from the Qing Dynasty's 400 million. Large tracts of land lie fallow in North Zhili, Henan, and Shandong, while Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are far from being developed to their limits.

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, after three consecutive years of favorable weather in Shaanxi, a slight drought begins this year. Overall, the south experiences slight flooding, while the north has slight drought, though large-scale natural disasters have not yet begun.

In the year 1627 of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji of the Later Jin has just ascended the throne for one year. He alleviated domestic famine by attacking Korea, but this also made General Amin, who led the expedition to Korea, too powerful to control. The co-governance system of the Four Beile still seems unbreakable.

So, why does such a promising situation gradually spiral toward catastrophic collapse?

So, when a time traveler arrives at this juncture, how difficult is it truly to turn the tide? Is it really as many claim—that by 1627, the Ming Dynasty's fate is already sealed beyond redemption?

If you share these questions, join this grand historical simulation scenario, entirely based on real historical materials.

To date, this work references 531 academic papers and the lives of 7,188 Jinshi (advanced scholars) after the eighth year of the Wanli era, as well as 4,657 Juren (provincial graduates) whose biographies can be traced.

In the year 2000, leaders are shouting slogans about GDP, bosses still take pride in having secretaries, and ambitious individuals hide within the tides of the era, engaging in fierce competition.

Fang Zhuo is reborn back to the year 2000.

Ten years later, a group of venture capitalists and private equity investors storm into the corporate headquarters and plead with a stunned Fang Zhuo:

"President Fang, all your other projects have gone public. When exactly will this first project get listed?"

"We clearly agreed on three years. Three years became another three years, and then yet another three. It's been almost ten years, boss!"

Nan Jin worked hard for half her life, finally pulling together the investment to open a large shopping mall.  

Just when she was about to enjoy her success, a cocktail party transported her to the late 1970s.  

Wait a minute, isn't the original host's life way too miserable?  

Her husband is clamoring for a divorce so he can marry his childhood sweetheart, he even had her sent to jail, bullied so badly she lost her child too?  

What? A fake divorce? Remarry in six months? You say I'm vicious?  

Fine, then I'll go all the way and empty your entire family.  

While everyone else uses connections to return to the city, I was a workhorse for a lifetime and I'm tired; this lifetime, I just want to go to the countryside, laze around, and become a rich woman.  

But wait, why are all these people following me to the countryside?  

The ex-husband's uncle says he feels guilty and wants to take care of me?  

How come he's crawling into my bed?  

And this old commander, why is he clinging to my door, insisting I'm their long-lost biological daughter?  

Plus three incredibly capable older brothers forcing me to be the pampered baby of the family?  

The scumbag ex-husband is filled with regret, begging to remarry every day.  

The ex-husband's uncle holds her tightly in his arms and scoffs, "Shao Xuan, call me uncle!"

Once transmigrated into a book, Bai Ningning became the tragic orphan girl who was taken advantage of by a scumbag's family. The scumbag fiancé was seduced by a green tea bitch, and the malicious future mother-in-law wanted to kick her out? Bai Ningning pointed her finger directly, choosing a replacement groom right in the compound: "I won't call off the wedding, but I want to marry someone else!"

Under everyone's astonished gazes, she chose to marry the scumbag's legendary, powerful, but supposedly 'sterile' mysterious uncle—Fu Qinghan!

Everyone waited to see her become a living widow and a laughingstock. Yet, unexpectedly, after marriage—

The unapproachable King of Hell doted on her to the heavens! He handed over all his salary and bonuses, and personally crushed anyone who bullied her!

The 'sterile' man held her in his arms every night, his voice hoarse: "Let's have another one, okay?"

And she, with her silver needles, revived the dead and healed the wounded, stirring up storms in the capital! Those who once bullied and humiliated her could only kneel and beg for mercy now!

Bai Ningning finally realized: marrying a big shot feels amazing!

As for that scumbag ex-fiancé? Sorry, when we meet, please respectfully call me—Little Aunt!
