He starts out as an obscure county yamen adviser at the very bottom of the rankings. Bringing modern workplace practices into the ancient government office, including morning meetings, weekly reports, and data management, he straightens out chaotic accounts, resolves disputes among the people, and outclasses rival county magistrates. From Qing shi County, which ranks last year after year, he fights his way up to become the chief adviser in the prefectural city, where he faces factional struggles at court. Using modern management thinking to master the Ming bureaucracy, he stages a spectacular comeback and ultimately rises to become the greatest adviser under heaven.
