I Sold Grain in a Border County and Became a Powerful Minister

In a famine-stricken border county, Liu Ren arrives in this world only to find himself saddled with the debt for a boatload of spoiled rice.

If he can’t make up the shortfall within two days, his employer will make him pay with his life.

Everyone thinks the rice can only be sold at a loss. Only Liu Ren knows it can still turn a profit.

He survives by selling spoiled rice, makes his fortune by seizing control of grain routes, and enters the game through a military provisions scandal.

Starting out as a grain-shop clerk made to take the blame for others, he fights his way into the borderlands’ halls of power.

In the borderlands, silver may not buy you a life, but grain can. Die.

This is the story of a grain-shop clerk who rises step by step, selling his way into power and fighting his way into the borderlands’ political arena.
