[Great Ming + farming + technical know-how + power plays and face-slapping]
An agricultural science PhD transmigrates to the Wanli era of the Great Ming, only to find himself a useless scholar buried in debt with a gravely ill mother?
Creditors are banging on the door, and there isn’t even enough food to last the night. Save the Great Ming? First, he has to survive!
Fortunately, his mind holds an “agricultural tech vault” from four centuries in the future:
When it comes to farming: Two hundred jin per mu? That’s your limit! Hybrid rice and scientific soil management will multiply yields fivefold and shock the entire province!
When it comes to getting rich: Sweet potatoes, corn, high-sugar sugarcane… Just one seed is enough to sweep the Great Ming’s business world and infuriate the gentry across the court.
When it comes to power plays: You fight over the Donglin Faction; I control the grain supply. Wei Zhongxian wants to buy my army provisions, the Tianqi Emperor wants my auspicious omens, and the Qi Family Army is reborn thanks to me!
The Wanli Emperor dies, the Red Pill Case erupts, and the shadow of the Battle of Sarhu falls over Liaodong…
Faced with the devastation of the late Ming, Liu Dawen holds a golden ear of rice in his hand:
“If this world is rotten to the core, then I’ll use this single seed to grow peace for all generations!”
