While others transmigrate to the Qin Dynasty and immediately pick a fight with Qin Shi Huang, I, Chen Mo, take a different approach: I start out as a minor constable and play it safe!
A modern agricultural college graduate, I transmigrate into the body of a junior official in Nanjun in the twenty-sixth year of King Zheng of Qin. From the start, I’m hit with a double crisis: cattle thieves and a locust plague.
No problem! I put composting techniques to work, doubling yields per mu and ending the famine. I improve the curved-shaft plow and till countless acres across the realm!
Soap and hemp paper make me a fortune. Crucible steel strengthens the army and drives the Xiongnu into flight beyond the northern deserts. Widespread use of clerical script promotes education and enlightenment, while cultural unity lays the foundation for Huaxia!
Ying Zheng: “You’re noisy, but useful. I entrust my Great Qin to you, Imperial Tutor, to govern alongside me!”
Chen Mo: “No, no, Your Majesty! Let’s follow the proper procedure. First, let’s set this year’s spring planting targets!”
From a village head’s assistant to an Imperial Tutor for the ages, he helps the First Emperor defy fate, breaks the curse of the dynasty falling after two generations, and builds a golden age of Great Qin, with envoys from every land paying homage!
