Starting Out as a Farmer in the Tang Dynasty

Blurb One: Heaven is about to dump a great burden on this man. Since he can't shake it off, he might as well trade it for another burden to bear. At an age when he should have been a spoiled young master, he chooses to return to his old line of work to pass the buck, devoting himself to research and leading a group of farmers in cultivating the land. He may seem a little dim, but after years of bumper harvests, he becomes a treasured pillar of the Tang Dynasty. Blurb Two: The story of a dark-faced young lord who abducts a little princess, develops agricultural technology, and becomes a national treasure.
