"I, rejuvenate the country through science"
The third prince who traveled through time and was sent to a bitter cold land started with a bowl and a fortune of thirty-two cents.
In the fiefdom of Beiliang, the people are naked, the gentry is eyeing them, and barbarians can invade at any time.
Everyone was waiting to see him starve to death in this inhospitable place.
Jamel Xiao smiled.
Make refined salt, burn cement, refine glass, and turn sand into white silver. Build terraced fields, improve seeds, build granaries, and let golden wheat grow from the barren saline-alkali land. Making repeating crossbows, hot-air balloons, and incendiary bombs, three thousand barbarian cavalry invaded, and the whole army was wiped out before he could even touch his shadow.
The eldest prince brought the coffin, and he made it impossible for the eldest prince to reach it. The wealthy gentry hosted a Hongmen banquet, and he performed on the spot turning water into ice. Manchao Wenwu laughed at him for not overestimating his capabilities, and he blocked everyone's mouths with cement and glass.
"I have read the book, so don't lie to me - nothing is impossible in this world, only things that you haven't understood yet."
While the dignitaries in the capital were still arguing over the tax of one tael of silver, the city walls of Beiliang had been built to the horizon. When the cavalry in the grassland were still laughing at the Central Plains people for being weak and easy to bully, they couldn't even get out of the valley of Beiliang.
Xiao Jinlan stood on the hot air balloon and overlooked the world. Behind him was Beiliang filled with granaries, at his feet were the trembling enemies, and in front of him was the entire country waiting to be conquered.
"This king is very simple - if you respect me a foot, I will respect you a foot. If you step on me, I will dig up your ancestral grave."
This is not magic, this is science.
This is not a counterattack, this is called a dimensionality reduction strike.
