The Fifth Book by Murong Haich

Zhang Yang transmigrates as the son of an official in the Great Qi Dynasty. To keep him out of the court’s political turmoil, his father-in-law arranges for him to become a commandery governor in Shu.

He builds waterworks, redistributes farmland, and encourages trade, turning the once-barren Shu Commandery into a paradise.

His father-in-law had only hoped he would keep his head down and stay safe. He never expected Zhang Yang to master the court’s political game and become a powerful regional governor.
