Zhu Haohan, a modern history enthusiast, traveled through the late Yuan Dynasty and became Zhu Dalang, a farmer's son. He used modern knowledge to improve farm tools and gather with his neighbors to survive. However, in troubled times, he understood that it was difficult to make a living just by farming.
When the Red Scarf Army arose, he formed Xiangyong and trained troops in the fields. With his military merit, he was promoted from Li Zheng to the King of Henan, and gained the trust of the Yuan Dynasty. He proposed the policy of "one country, two systems" to the imperial court, intending to use the Han system to govern the Central Plains and the Mongolian system to preserve Mobei to promote national integration, but he was met with a frenzied counterattack by the conservatives.
He was eventually sentenced to death for being framed. Before his execution, he placed his young son in the care of a farmer. Ten years later, the child changed his name to "Zhu Yuanzhang" and raised a flag to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and establish the Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Yuanzhang read the "Governing Policy" left by his biological father, he realized that the two generations had reached the same goal by different paths - one wanted to mend the cracks in the old world, and the other used fire to reshape the world, leaving the tragedy of a lonely minister in the wind of history.
