Kui Yuan, a modern strategic analyst, accidentally transformed into a death row prisoner of the Ming Dynasty. When the chief minister was assassinated, he was secretly replaced because of his similar appearance.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty had an empty treasury and refugees everywhere. Kui Yuan knew very well that relying solely on tactics could only delay his demise, and only "farming" could sustain his life.
In the name of "auspicious things coming from heaven", he promoted potatoes and corn, and promoted "sharing small crops into acres", which touched the interests of the gentry and led to death. In the court, he dealt with the traitor Liu Jin and used modern financial means to evade the financial power of Dongchang; on the border, he built a railway network using "relief for work" and mass-produced firearms using the assembly line method, creating the first modern army.
When Emperor Zhengde wanted to conquer the country himself, Kuiyuan had already established an intelligence network across Europe and Asia through overseas trade. He is no longer just the chief assistant, but the new "captain" of the Ming Dynasty's giant ship. In the face of internal and external troubles, he not only wanted to feed the people, but also wanted to plant the flag of Ming Dynasty all over the world and push agricultural civilization to the pinnacle of industrial civilization.
