You Were Only Asked to Manage a County, Yet You Built an Economic Capital

After transmigrating to an unknown ancient era, Hao Jian becomes the magistrate of a poor, remote county.

Changhai County lies on an island, but there is something strange about the place.

Nothing can be raised here. The islanders have no choice but to fish at sea if they want to get by.

The island's forests are even worse: they are forbidden grounds that fill the islanders with fear. No one dares to set foot there.

So before Hao Jian arrived, the islanders lived an extremely primitive life. One magistrate after another sent by the imperial court couldn't stand it and fled, nearly prompting the emperor to issue a decree abolishing Changhai County.

But after Hao Jian arrived, the island was transformed beyond recognition!

"The Master does not speak of strange forces and spirits! Another people live in the forests. We must bring them under our control!"

"Knowledge makes people sensible! Don't close your eyes when night falls. This is called a lamp, and we're building a city that never sleeps!"

"We must believe in science! A yield of ten thousand jin per mu is no dream. Every household will have a granary!"

Under Hao Jian's governance, Changhai County gradually transformed from a derelict county into a maritime kingdom, becoming the prosperous land everyone in the Great Jin Dynasty envied!
