In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline: Wanli neglected government, undercurrents of party disputes surged, Japanese pirates harassed the sea areas, Jianzhou Jurchens quietly emerged, land annexation and natural disasters pushed the people to desperation.
Lin Mo, a double major in History + Agricultural Engineering, traveled to Chengdeng Prefecture as a dying poor scholar, and accidentally activated the Chinese system - with the survival of civilization as the sole core, he unlocked improved Chinese technologies and classics, but was strictly prohibited from betraying national interests.
From surviving in a desperate situation to establishing a foothold in the countryside, he promoted high-yielding crops, trained new rural warriors, and exterminated bandits and Japanese pirates. From the sea frontier of Dengzhou to the center of the court, he innovated agricultural administration, organized border defenses, and fought against the tyranny of the gentry and the eunuchs. In the end, he led the powerful Chinese army to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, break through the reincarnation of the dynasty, and open a new era of industry and navigation. He vowed to let Chinese civilization avoid a century of humiliation, sail all over the world, and prosper forever.
