I traveled through time and became an outcast from a poor family. I used technology as a blade and power as a shield. In this troubled world where imperial power was strife and there were many clans, I forcibly carved a road to the sky!
Chen Ang, a modern engineer, once traveled through time and became a poor branch of the Dajing Dynasty who was abandoned in the wilderness because he offended his master. The original owner of the body died of hunger and cold, leaving only a incomplete genealogy and a dying sister.
There was oppression from the clan inside, who wanted to seize his remaining land; outside there were subordinate officials who made things difficult for him, forcing him to serve in a life-long corvée.
Chen Ang smiled.
He wants to show this backward era what dimensionality reduction attack is!
Using his knowledge of chemistry, he improved saltpeter and provided "gunpowder to defeat the enemy". He first showed his talents in the war in the border town and escaped from his lowly position by working as a military worker.
Using mechanical principles, he built a new type of keel waterwheel, which solved the drought in a state. He was able to enter the official position, starting as a county captain in Weimo.
He created the "Work Relief Method" to provide relief with work, gather the refugees, and secretly cultivated the first force that was only loyal to himself - "Panshi Camp".
Above the court, the old and new parties are fighting like a raging fire. The emperor is old, the prince is fighting for his heir, and the forces from all sides are constantly fighting.
Everyone thought that this poor boy with no background was just a useful and fragile knife.
They waited indifferently to see when he would be shattered to pieces.
However, Chen Ang was trapped in the cracks of various forces. He united with poor families, suppressed the powerful, rectified officialdom, built water conservancy projects, and in the turbulent waves of imperial power changes, he stood up accurately again and again to turn the tide.
Until one day, he became a first-rank official and ranked among the three Dukes.
