Wei Yuan, an expert in modern agricultural engineering infrastructure, accidentally traveled to the northern border of Dasheng and became a veteran with a lung injury.
The family is surrounded by walls, with a young girl waiting to be fed, and in front of them there is only thirty acres of dead salt-alkali land known as the "White Grave".
In this era of dependence on the sky and desolate land, Wei Yuan resumed his old business:
A pottery bowl was used to measure the level, deep channels were dug to drain away salt poisons, curved shaft plows were made to turn over old soil, and pioneer grass was planted to revitalize the earth's veins.
He led a group of disabled veterans who had been forgotten by the times, and drew the most precise irrigation blueprint with shovel and pickaxe on the hoarfrost-covered wasteland.
When alfalfa flowers bloom all over the alkaline beach, when red sorghum blocks the scorching sun, when the roar of mechanical threshing machines echoes across the border,
The world was shocked to realize that this seemingly sick and frail camp commander actually started from 30 acres of wasteland and forcibly affected the lifeblood of the entire empire.
