Lin Yan, a doctor of history, accidentally traveled through the Dajing Dynasty and became a scholar from a poor family. With modern knowledge and ideals of governing the world, he started from the Jiangnan rural examination and solved the Yuan Dynasty. With his data thinking and pragmatic strategies, he won the first place in the imperial examination and entered the turbulent officialdom.
Facing the troubled times of land annexation and frequent famines, he broke through the situation by "inventorying hidden fields", "promoting new grains" and "reforming the tax system". He created "work-for-relief" in Huaiyang disaster relief, defeated conservative forces in the court game, and stabilized the border with the strategy of military garrison and mutual trade.
From a scholar from a poor family to a generation of prime minister, he grafted ancient methods with modern wisdom, found a balance between the suffering of the people and the rules of the officialdom, and finally became the prime minister of the times, leaving behind the legend of "the warehouse is solid and the refugees are safe". He has his own path to success in history.
