A Chaotic, Barren Age: I Have Money, People, and Grain

Chaotic times, famine, farming, hunting, business, technology, bandit suppression, and building a power base

A death-row inmate transmigrates into the body of Lin Xiao, a farmer who has just gotten married, moments before his execution by firing squad.

He discovers a colorful map in his mind. The more territory he explores, the larger the map becomes.

It also enhances his physique and five senses.

White dots on the map = harmless civilians.

Green dots on the map = harmless prey.

Yellow dots on the map = dangerous prey and dangerous people.

Red dots on the map = prey and people too powerful to fight.

Lin Xiao starts out with a bow.

He can enter the deep mountains that others cannot.

He can hunt prey that others cannot take down.

He knows exactly where the ferocious beasts are, so he can avoid the ones others cannot escape.

While most families are still eating coarse grains and wild greens, Lin Xiao already has all the meat, clothing, and money he could want.

He creates the Lin Family Hunting Squad, fights corrupt officials, kills foreign invaders, and suppresses bandits.

The course of events keeps pushing him forward, step by step.

When foreign armies invade in force, powerful ministers seize control of the court, and warlords rise across the land, Lin Xiao looks back at what he has achieved.

The people are prosperous, the army is powerful, technology is advanced, and the equipment is first-rate.

Then he turns to his wife.

“Do you want to be empress?”
