Transmigrated as the Ming's last emperor with an empty treasury — so he makes corrupt officials the national revenue stream.

Zhu Siwen opens his eyes as Emperor Chongzhen: border armies unpaid, ministers at each other's throats, Huang Taiji sharpening blades at Shanhai Pass. His answer is the 'sin-redemption silver' system — the bigger the official's crime, the bigger his donation. Wei Zhongxian pays first. The princes' untaxed ten-thousand-acre estates pay next. A dynasty that went bankrupt is refinanced by extortion done on purpose.
