Gu Beichen, a modern urban youth with the ultimate pursuit of quality of life, accidentally encountered a car accident, and his soul traveled to the Daning Dynasty and became the sick and young owner of a small landlord's family in Qinghe County, Nanzhou Prefecture.
Faced with rough and bitter salt, monotonous cooking, inefficient and bulky farm tools, backward and inconvenient living facilities... Gu Beichen's obsessive-compulsive disorder completely broke out!
"Why is this salt so astringent? No, it has to be purified!"
"Is this food boiled like this? Where's the wok? Forge iron and make a wok for me!"
"Plowing the land is so slow? Bring me the drawings of the Quyuan plow!"
Starting from an iron pot, Gu Beichen started his "Ancient Life Transformation Plan". In his pursuit and innovation, he skillfully integrated modern knowledge into ancient life step by step, opening restaurants, making refined salt, improving farm tools, and building water conservancy...
However, as he made more and more changes, he also attracted the attention of various forces - the covetousness of the county government, the calculations of merchants, the internal conflicts of the family, and even the attention of the court. Gu Beichen had to deal with it, using wisdom and modern thinking to quietly change the world while guarding his achievements, and eventually became a legendary figure who crossed the boundaries between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.
