Granary Overlord: I Rule the Famine Years by Farming with the System

A great calamity strikes the Great Yong. Yellow sand blots out the sun, and the people survive by gnawing on tree bark.

My name is Chen Mo. I'm a modern agricultural science PhD, and when I open my eyes, I've become a condemned exile on the frontier.

My father was framed and murdered. My family is ruined, and in a desolate village, death awaits. My life is worth less than grass.

I unexpectedly gain a golden finger: if I don't stockpile a hundred jin of grain within seven days, I'll be erased.

The System won't give me food. Instead, it forces me to use technology to farm, brew liquor to trade for seeds, and calculate yields with data.

While others are so hungry they chew dirt, I use high-yield potatoes to secure food for the whole village.

I turn wild grass into brewing starter, summon rain, and connect irrigation ditches to water the drought-stricken fields.

The court has its eye on me, bandits want to rob my grain, and the county deputy wants to seize my granary.

I'm not afraid. Gunpowder is ready, and I control the grain. Whoever touches it won't get to eat.

I'll turn this dead end into a land of plenty on the frontier, where a hundred thousand people can all eat their fill.
