Shen Yi, a modern graduate student majoring in agriculture and forestry, accidentally traveled back in time to a poor farmer in the ancient Yan Dynasty. The beginning is hell: the family is impoverished, the father is seriously ill, the mother is weak, the younger siblings need to be fed, and the land is about to be taken over by the tyrants. Faced with a desperate situation, he used modern knowledge to improve farm tools and increase the yield per mu, gradually solving the problem of food and clothing, then studying for the imperial examination and entering the officialdom. He not only has to fight wits and courage with the decadent aristocratic families, but also relies on his knowledge that transcends the times for thousands of years to defeat the enemy with firearms at the border, govern the country with economy in the court, and finally open up a new path for the Chinese civilization in this era in the torrent of history.
