Great Song: I Built a Fortune with My System’s Pocket Dimension

Wang Youqian, a modern graduate student in history, transmigrates to the late Northern Song Dynasty and becomes an impoverished scholar in Bianjing. In dire straits, he activates the “System Space”: an initial realm of 100 square meters, adjustable time flow, and a random divine skill awarded with each daily sign-in. Starting with crops of fast-growing vegetables and the production of dehydrated military rations in his space, he strikes it rich through gambling on stones with his “Lucky Saint Physique,” monopolizes military supplies with his “Master Brewer” skill, improves water-powered spinning machines with his “Mechanical Genius” talent, and forges steel armor and develops moisture-resistant gunpowder through “Weapon Improvement.” His business acumen leads him to establish the Qianyuan Merchant Guild and standardize market prices to stand up to wealthy merchants from other regions. His political savvy helps him push through a new commercial tax law during Wang Anshi’s reforms, enriching the country and strengthening its military. On the battlefield at Chanyuan, he uses his space to make smoke bombs and turn the tide, earning the title of Marquis Who Protects the Nation. When the Jin invade, he forms special forces and wins one victory after another, eventually rising to Minister of Revenue. His business empire expands overseas as silk and porcelain stored in his space are shipped to Goryeo and Japan. In time, he becomes the “God of Wealth of the Great Song,” dominating East Asian trade. The gentle daughter of an official, Su Qingyue; the fiery daughter of a wealthy merchant, Liu Ruyan; and the mysterious Princess Yelü Yan of Western Xia: three love stories intertwine amid the chaos of war. From a street vendor to a man of immense influence, he uses modern knowledge to outclass everyone and business savvy to rewrite history. In the impoverished, weakened late Northern Song Dynasty, he writes a transmigration legend of unimaginable wealth and defending his homeland.
