Spring Breeze Beneath the Grain

Lin Wan, an agricultural sciences student, transmigrates to the late Northern Song and becomes an orphan whose parents are dead and farmland has been seized. Facing greedy relatives and the looming chaos of war, he conceals his identity as someone from another time and puts his modern agricultural knowledge to work, starting with a basket of sprouting "yangyu" potatoes. He grows high-yield crops, improves farming tools, develops side industries, and opens village schools, weaving an industrial network from the ground up as he navigates and rises through the clans. When the Jurchen cavalry storms south, what he protects is no longer just his three meager acres, but the hope of a community whose people have full granaries.
