About This Novel

Zhao Di, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, traveled to the fictional Dajing Dynasty in a museum accident and became the new magistrate of Yunling County, a remote ancient city. This city with mountains and water has winding bluestone roads, but it hides many evils: powerful powerful people collude with subordinate officials to control taxes, siltation of river transportation has cut off commercial routes, and even the backyard of the county government office is covered with weeds. When Zhao Di dragged his sick body to take over the mess, he faced not only the suspicious eyes of the people, but also the obsessive support of the local gentry. Relying on modern knowledge and historical accumulation, he first started by dredging the blocked rivers, using simple lever principles to improve tools, and mobilized the people to clear the silt; then he took advantage of a sudden drought to implement new water wheel irrigation, breaking the dilemma of "depending on the sky for food"; and when hearing land disputes, he used new measurement methods to expose the fraudulent tricks of old officials. When the footsteps of merchants gradually sounded on the bluestone road, and when the refugees under the city wall started to make a stable living, Zhao Di also dealt with various forces again and again, transforming from a busy scholar into "Zhao Qingtian" who the people said could solve cases and make a living. But in the dead of night, looking at the modern moon in the sky, he would always think of: Is this ancient city a cage that traps him, or is it the soil where he can truly take root?
