On the eve of Jingkang, beacon smoke gradually rose. Chen Yan was transformed into a poor scholar outside Bianliang City. His family was poor and he only had a lot of talent.
The first time I saw him, he was improving the curved-wheel plow on the ridge of the field, allowing the refugees to fill their bellies; the next time I heard him, he was talking about the world in a teahouse, breaking down the confusion of party strife in the court. A piece of paper "Pingrong Policy" shocked the dragon chair, and a few good words persuaded the Xixia envoy to retreat. The country scholar actually became the "crouching dragon" that His Majesty relied on.
The corrupt scholars scolded him for being deviant and rebellious, and the powerful ministers hated him for ruining people's wealth, but he held the calculation plan in his left hand to promote agriculture and mulberry trees, and the military manual in his right hand to strengthen the army. When the golden gate and the iron horse broke through Xiongguan, the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty were as panicked as a bereaved dog. Only Chen Yan wore armor and climbed to the city, using the power of firearms to retreat the enemy thousands of miles away.
From growing grain and weaving to forging artillery, from games in the court to fighting on the battlefield, see how the former country scholars held up a bright and prosperous world in the Song Dynasty, where the mountains and rivers were swaying, and finally became the unparalleled pillars of protecting the country and the country!
