The Emperor Demoted Me to a Commoner, I Rely on Farming to Conquer the World

Shen Yuan was the concubine of General Shen Chongyuan of Zhenbei. His mother, Mrs. Shen, was a laundry maid in the general's mansion, and she gave birth to him after being visited by a drunken master. His mother died of illness when Shen Yuan was five years old. Before she died, she left only one sentence: "You can't rely on anyone but yourself." His aunt-in-law hated him, and his aunt-in-law Shen Zhao treated him like a slave. When he was twelve years old, Shen Zhao wanted to take away the only relic left by his mother - a silver bracelet. Shen Yuan refused to give it to him, so he was pushed off the rockery and the end of his eyebrow was broken. Afterwards, Shen Zhao said back that he had stolen something. Shen Chongyuan didn't bother to find out the truth and said directly: "If you don't worry about it, send him to the military camp. Life or death depends on it." Twelve-year-old Shen Yuan was thrown to northern Xinjiang. It doesn't matter, there is no money, just start from the lowest level as an auxiliary soldier - feeding horses, cutting firewood, digging trenches, and cultivating military fields. But he showed amazing talent in farming. Others can harvest one hundred catties from one acre, but he can harvest two hundred catties from one acre. After the superior officer found out, he was put in charge of the military fields of the entire battalion. In three years, he turned a border defense camp that often ran out of food into an elite division with plenty of food and grass. Then he began to learn to fight. Climb up step by step from captain, captain, centurion. Rush to the front in every battle and use your brain in every battle. When he was twenty-five years old, Beidi's 100,000 cavalry went south, and the guard general died in the battle. He was ordered to guard the city for fifteen days with 3,000 remaining soldiers, until reinforcements arrived. He became famous in one battle and was promoted to three levels in a row. At the age of twenty-eight, he became the youngest Zhenbei general in the dynasty. He stayed at the border for seven years, not only guarding the border, but also creating the "military garrison system" - soldiers farmed the land when they were not fighting, training troops and producing grain, which completely solved the border army's food and grass problem.
