I Spent Five Years Alleviating Poverty, and You're Telling Me This Is the Ming Dynasty?

Yang Fan, a poverty-alleviation official, slipped and fell into a bottomless ravine, but was rescued by an old man named Lao Huang who happened to be passing by.

When he woke up, Yang Fan discovered that the village where Lao Huang lived was several times poorer than Zhangwang Village, where he'd previously worked on poverty alleviation.

At the same time, he unexpectedly bonded with a Super Poverty-Alleviation System that made him stronger whenever he helped people out of poverty. In the end, Yang Fan decided to stay and help Lao Huang's village improve its living standards.

He started by refining table salt, then made soap, opened a brickworks, built a reservoir, and modified firearms for hunting wild boars…

What Yang Fan didn't know was that he had transmigrated to the Ming Dynasty. He also had no idea that the man who'd saved him was Zhu Yuanzhang.

He had no idea, either, that the methods he'd used to improve life in Zhu Family Village would be adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang across the entire Ming Dynasty, bringing about sweeping changes in a short time.

Five years later, the poverty-alleviation project was over.

The first time Yang Fan left the mountains, he saw the magnificent Ming capital of Yingtian Prefecture!

He realized that he might have transmigrated, and that, by a strange twist of fate, he had turned the Ming Dynasty into an empire on which the sun never set!
