Dimensionality Reduction Farming: I Am a Farmer in Victoria

In the autumn of 1849, Chen Wan, a doctor of agriculture, woke up in a carriage accident and found that he had become the down-and-out young lady of a bankrupt manor in Yorkshire, England—Eleanor Rosewood. The estate was £3,800 in debt, the tenant farmers were starving to death, and the potatoes in the cellars were being devoured by late blight. To make matters worse, the bank has issued an ultimatum: if the interest is not paid by the end of the year, the land will be seized. Everyone was waiting for the eighteen-year-old girl to break down and cry. But no one knows that there is a soul with knowledge of modern agriculture living in this body. Starting from improving potato varieties to resist late blight, Eleanor used an "ancestral code diary" as a cover to establish an efficient crop rotation system step by step, repaired abandoned waterwheels and transformed textile machines, and extracted wildflower essential oils to make perfume and enter the London market. She spoke with data and slapped her face with facts. In the pastoral scenery of the Victorian era, she not only achieved personal freedom of wealth, but also led a silent technological revolution. From a debt of 3,800 pounds to an annual income of tens of thousands, from working alone to forming a cooperative, from a manor lady to a duchess - it took her fifty-five years to write a Victorian epic of her own.
