"Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" tells the story of Lin Xiaowei, a graduate student in the Department of History, who traveled to the Tang Dynasty and possessed Shen Yanzhi, the son of Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture, and experienced growth and challenges in officialdom, people's livelihood, business and other fields. After traveling through time, Shen Yanzhi used modern knowledge to solve many problems, such as dealing with grain storage in charity warehouses and resolving disputes between Hu merchants. He also showed his talents in poetry classes and arithmetic competitions at the Imperial College. He entered the official career through the imperial examination, participated in the reform of water transportation, improved the free warehouse system, and devoted himself to improving people's livelihood.
In terms of love, he was engaged to Su Waner, and they wrote poems and notes to express love, and embroidered love tokens before marriage. They had a deep relationship. The Lingnan medical girl Miao was deeply in love with him. Commercially, he participated in the affairs of the Western City Hu Merchants Alliance, forming cross-regional caravans, competing for spice pricing rights, and opening up new trade routes along the Silk Road.
At the same time, he was caught in the whirlpool of the Niu-Li party struggle. In order to protect his father, he dealt with the Li party and experienced many twists and turns. In Lingnan, he successfully promoted the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton, achieved double harvests of sugar and cotton, and promoted local economic development. Eventually, he took root in the Tang Dynasty, made great achievements as a writer, and wrote his experience into agricultural books. In his later years, he retired to the countryside and taught his descendants. His deeds were recorded in history, leaving his own legend in the Tang Dynasty.
