Zeng Hua, a history buff, accidentally traveled to ancient times, took over a barren territory, and was also responsible for the system. Above the court, wealthy families surrounded him, greedily devouring the country's wealth, and full of hostility towards Zeng Hua, a man from a poor family who wanted to change. Relying on the infrastructure capabilities given by the system, Zeng Hua was determined to suppress the wealthy clans, first quell the civil strife, and then expel the barbaric nomads.
He faced many difficulties. As a member of a poor family, he had limited resources, was subject to social discipline, and was limited in his officialdom and territorial development. When implementing reforms, not only were the old aristocrats spread rumors and slanders, leading to misunderstanding among the people, but they were also betrayed and exploited by the old aristocrats behind the scenes, and faced a crisis of trust. At the same time, nomads may invade at any time, and he must increase the military strength of his territory within a limited time.
In the process of developing his territory, faced with the temptation of interests offered by wealthy families, he adhered to his original intention of serving the people and made difficult choices. Although it successfully promoted some reforms, it sacrificed relations with some old friends. But Zeng Hua did not back down. He went deep into the fields with his left hand to understand the sufferings of the people, and sketched a blueprint for tax reform with his right hand. He challenged the old order with wisdom and courage, and gradually realized the dream of a powerful country in difficult circumstances.
