Three Kingdoms: From Starving Out a Besieged City to Winning the People's Hearts

Who says a county magistrate can't become a lord? Starting with a plain steamed bun, he wins over the strongest warrior of the Three Kingdoms!

After transmigrating into a county magistrate in Jiangdu at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty, he starts out in a lone city where starving corpses litter the streets. The Yellow Turban Army watches hungrily from outside the walls, while morale within the city is on the verge of collapse.

Lin Xu thinks he's doomed, but unexpectedly activates the Prestige Shop. A bowl of modern white rice porridge can buy him popular support; a sausage can buy him loyalty.

While the eighteen warlords are still scheming against one another in Suanzao, Lin Xu has already used unlimited supplies of polished rice, white flour, and braised chicken legs to raise an "Iron Pagoda" army whose physique surpasses that of the Xiliang cavalry.

When Dian Wei submits over a bowl of wontons, and Cheng Yu bows his head for three hundred thousand jin of refined iron, the little county magistrate finally understands: in this age, whoever can keep people fed can claim the world.
