Grain Field in the World

About This Novel

This book is a companion volume to "The Granary of the World", written by the famous screenwriter Gao Feng, who has been sharpening his sword for 10 years. The author writes in an elegant and concise style about a "Golden Palace Bird Inspection" in the eighth year of Qianlong's reign, which led to a huge case of avoiding disasters and greedy money, and exposed the unprecedented crisis in the grain fields and granaries of the Qing Dynasty. Liu Tongxun, who returned home due to illness, was ordered to go out and lead Gu Shan, Du Xiao and other newly appointed young officials to break out of the siege and implement Qianlong's policy of opening up wasteland and increasing farmland with his skull as a model. After two years of hard work, the grain fields were in danger and the country's economy gradually recovered. However, the corrupt forces led by Tie Gongnan and Song Wulou openly challenged the newly revised law on "forbidding husbandship", used the name of land reclamation to raise taxes and cruelly exploited the reclamation people, causing the great achievements of reclamation to fall short. At this time, more than half of the country's eighteen provinces suffered from natural disasters that had not happened in a century. Starvation was everywhere, people were displaced, and the national food crisis broke out again. The country was shaken, triggering fierce turmoil between the government and the public. More than a dozen important court officials were killed due to corruption.
