"The Benji of the New Dynasty·The Benji of Taizu" contains:
The emperor's taboo is nine, the name is unknown, and he is from Bianliang. Shao Gu lives in Wazi Lane. He was beaten by powerful slaves, and many of them died. However, every time the emperor was on the verge of death, he would often encounter a strange encounter - he might gain divine power, he might be able to read characters, or he might get fragments of a book. He started out in the grasslands, gathered beggars and coolies, and fought with the Imperial Master Zhao family for twenty years, and finally took over the Central Plains. When he was eighty years old, his posthumous title was "Wu" and his temple name was "Taizu".
Emperor Chang said to himself: "I am a wild dog, I don't know why I am here."

These are three lines in the history books.
The real story begins in the mud of Bianliang City——
My name is Chen Jiu, I am twenty years old. I have a scar on the right side of my face and my mouth is crooked when I smile. When he was twelve years old, his ribs were broken and he hunkered down in a ruined temple for three days without anyone caring about him; when he was fifteen years old, he saw an old beggar being beaten to death with his own eyes and paid off all the onlookers with ten guan of money. From then on, I knew: In this world, people like me are not worth buying.
Until that day, when I was trampled in the mud and left to die, a voice suddenly sounded in my head: "You can sign today."
That thing is called "accumulation of micro signatures". If you go to a place and stand for a while every day, you can get the things hidden in that place. I gained strength at Qiaotou, learned calligraphy at a tea shop, and learned a book of Po Quan books at the dock. The system does not give you a way to reach the sky in one step, only seeds. Watering and fertilizing is my own business.
I used the strength gained from signing in to carry goods, used the characters I knew to read the account books, and used boxing skills to train beggars like me. We spread out our eyes and ears and weaved a net to cover the entire city.
But every step forward is exchanged for blood
