“Locusts fly, and sorrow stretches ten thousand miles; the four seas collapse, the Yellow River runs dry; the emperor does nothing, and arrows fly...”
In the third year of Zhenguan, a great drought grips the land. The people are destitute, and bandits are everywhere. Lin Qiu, who transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty three years ago, learns that his father is coming home after ten years away on business.
Just then, Li Er is traveling incognito when he is drawn to the paradise-like Changming Township.
When Li Er knocks on the gate of Lin Qiu’s estate, Lin Qiu mistakes him for his father.
Li Er is stunned by Lin Qiu’s ingenious plan to provide disaster relief.
After that, every time Li Er asks Lin Qiu for advice, he puts Lin Qiu’s clever schemes to use in governing the country. The excuse he gives Lin Qiu is that his official rank keeps rising.
Lin Qiu, however, grows more and more uneasy.
Could his father be planning to follow in Qin Hui’s footsteps and become the corrupt minister of his age?
So Lin Qiu decides to prepare early. If it comes to it, he’ll have to do what’s right and take down his own father!
I think it's quite well-written, unlike some others that are excessively exaggerated and mindless. Some parts even show genuine research, so it shouldn't have such a low score. I hope your next book will be even better.
It's only somewhat innovative, considering how many stories there are about the Tang Dynasty and how difficult it is to get a high score. Normally, I'd only give you three stars, but since no one else is commenting, I'm adding another star.
It was alright, but it felt like it wasn't enough. Why did it end so soon?
