Synopsis

Alternate history + politics + farming + technological advancement + economics + conquest + colonization + three thousand beauties

This novel is also titled The Great Qin: My Industrial Revolution.

Overnight, Lin Yi transmigrates and becomes the founding emperor of Great Qin, waking to a nightmare from the start.

Behind him are the starving people of the north, corpses littering the land. Before him stand centuries-old aristocratic clans entrenched in Jiangnan, with money and grain at their command.

In court, officials speak grandly of benevolence, righteousness, and ancestral laws. Beyond the palace walls, tens of millions struggle to get enough to eat.

He knows that compromise and conciliation will only let this empire bleed to death slowly!

So he grips a blade in one hand: he opens the imperial granaries, releases the grain reserves, and orders the Eastern Depot’s guards to escort the shipments. Not a single grain passes through bureaucratic hands before reaching the people. He conquers Jiangnan, confiscates privately held iron, and casts the shadow of the Embroidered Uniform Guard over every aristocratic clan.

With his other hand, he lays out a magnificent blueprint: he establishes the “Bureau of Fine Crafts,” directly under his command, and gathers craftsmen whose skills the world dismisses as “useless tricks.” He standardizes weights and measures, improves farming tools, builds irrigation works, explores for ore, and fires up furnaces… He will turn modern knowledge into the new sinews of this ancient empire.

When the first new-style curved plow turns over the hardened earth, when the first waterwheel lifts river water to higher ground, when the glow of the iron furnaces lights up the night sky over Guanzhong…

The powerful of the old era finally realize in terror:

His blade is meant to sever the thousand-year-old order on which they depend.

And what he has kindled is no mere furnace fire.

It is a spark called “industry,” one that will ultimately blaze into a new age of steel.

He will kindle the spark of technology in this ancient empire and forge a path unlike any that came before!
