Going to the bottom of ancient times, the family is destitute, the father is dead and the mother is married, leaving only a blind grandmother and a five-year-old sister. Chen Yan originally thought that this would be the beginning of hell.
But he discovered that this dynasty called Daliang was at a subtle turning point - there were barbarians in the north who were eyeing it, and there was a vassal town in the south that was unable to lose its power. There were factional conflicts in the court, while new folk agricultural tools had just sprouted, the commercial tax system was full of loopholes, and the profits of salt and iron were in the hands of the powerful.
Chen Yan has no golden finger or system, only modern people's logical thinking and basic understanding of historical laws.
Starting from farming, he improved farm tools, promoted crop rotation, and built water conservancy projects, turning a dying village into the county's top producer of grain. He organized volunteer schools, compiled textbooks, and innovated the way to answer questions in the imperial examination, allowing a group of poor children to rise to prominence in the examination. He entered the court as an official, stood up precisely in the cracks of party struggle, used his own strength, and used a set of "financial clarification methods" to scare the world's powerful men; he was sent to the border, and in just three years he turned a defeated army into an iron-blooded army.
From a countryman to a powerful man, from a county magistrate to a prime minister ruling the world.
He only did one thing in his life——
Break those rules about cannibalism into pieces one by one.
Then on the ruins, the mountains and rivers were rebuilt.
