Lin Yuan once traveled through time and became the most miserable county magistrate in the Liang Dynasty.
Huangcheng County has a population of less than 300, the granaries are empty, the county magistrate is corrupt, the government officials have run away, the city walls are rotten, and there are three groups of bandits sharpening their knives outside the city. The state capital is eager for this shabby place to rot as soon as possible.
This is not taking office, this is coming to die.
But Lin Yuan didn't believe in fate.
As a history graduate student in his previous life, what he was best at was finding a way out of a mess and building order out of the ruins.
Bandits are rampant? Then use them to establish your authority first!
Official corruption? Then start shuffling the cards from the county government office!
No food, no one, no soldiers, no money? Then clear your household registration, reclaim wasteland, train militia, open trade routes, and build an iron army!
When others serve as county magistrates, they guard the territory of a county.
When Lin Yuan became the county magistrate, he used a deserted city as capital to raise troops, gather wealth, expand territory, and gradually annex counties and states, stirring up the world!
When the beams are about to fall, the heroes rise up, and the aristocratic families, powerful ministers, and warlords fight to their death, everyone suddenly discovers:
The person who was the first to establish a foothold in the troubled times and the first to create a new order was actually the Huangcheng County Magistrate who was looked down upon by everyone!
Reader comments
The first 20 chapters of this book are actually just the appetizer.
What we see now is how Huangcheng County put its skeleton up from a puddle of mud, but the real overall situation, the real opponent, and the real ruthless chess have not yet been fully realized. The future is not just farming, nor is it mindless pushing, but it will increasingly feel like "starting from a broken county and slowly stirring up the entire situation."
If you like the county magistrate flow, farming flow, power-seeking and hegemony flow, you can follow it with confidence.
There are bigger holes to fill in the future, and more ruthless people to deal with.
Huangcheng County is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface.
The author's writing is very good, I recommend it.
