My Ancient Infrastructure Project
The most infamous 'corrupt official' in history! A modern, unassuming individual time-travels to ancient times, accumulating immense wealth by levying various taxes – all, surprisingly, for the sake of ambitious infrastructure projects... Modern youth Ye Qing is unexpectedly transported back in time to become the new county magistrate of Taiping County in the Dayu Kingdom, after poring over a volume of ancient chronicles in a library. He discovers that a once-in-a-century flood will devastate the entire county in three years and resolves to painstakingly construct a sturdy levee. However, his drastic measures of forcibly conscripting laborers and heavily increasing taxes for flood control quickly earn him the bitter resentment of the common people, who angrily denounce him as a tyrannical and corrupt official.
