The Foolish Son of a Landlord in the Late Tang

"Transmigrate into the foolish son of a landowner at the end of the Tang dynasty? No, I’m going to become a builder of prosperity in a chaotic age!"

"Other transmigrators get a System. I’ve got a head full of agricultural knowledge. In times like these, farming is the way to go!" When Huang Chao’s remnants sack his village, a blow to the head awakens the modern soul inside ten-year-old simpleton Li Shuo. Chaos is coming. He can either starve to death or build a secluded paradise that no one can break into.

A minor official, Li Shuo transmigrates into the body of a foolish young master at the end of the Tang dynasty and puts his knowledge from the future to work, taking up serious farming.

With the body of a ten-year-old and the mind of a forty-year-old engineer, he uses mathematics to balance the books, chemistry to make fertilizer, raises fish in rice paddies, develops ecological agriculture, and gathers refugees to train a private army. Right under Zhu Wen’s nose, he builds a Tang-era "doomsday fortress."

As the walls of Xiaolizhuang’s Bali Fort rise from the ground, Zhu Wen’s spies infiltrate a group of refugees. "Young Master Shuo, that jade pendant… should we return it now?"

Chen Baosen, kneeling on one knee: "Young Master, these walls could hold off a hundred thousand troops!"

Li Shuo, weighing the jade pendant in his hand: "No. What we have to hold off… is the whole world."
