*In the 18th year of the Republic of China, a severe drought in the north triggered a locust plague, resulting in no harvest in Chenjiagou. Agricultural student Chen Qingshan returns to his hometown and finds that his hometown has become a hell on earth, and the villagers are forced to embark on a road to escape. A team of hungry people were blackmailed by gangsters. Qingshan used his botanical knowledge to discover wild potatoes, but he encountered a poisoning crisis when villagers trespassed. While sleeping in a ruined temple, they discovered precious medicinal materials and established team trust for the first time.
Outside Tongguan City, he met a foreign company purchasing medicinal materials. Qingshan led the villagers to collect Bupleurum and established the first fund. On the way, he rescued Shanxi merchants and obtained key business opportunities, and used credit to obtain cloth to start a mobile caravan.
