In the first year of Chongzhen, a severe drought began to appear, and the winter of the Little Ice Age had just begun.
Chen Pingan, who was a geography teacher in his previous life, became a lazy man when he opened his eyes. There is no system, no space, only a brain of geography, climate, agricultural knowledge and a clear understanding of the general trend of this era.
He knew that in the next seventeen years, natural disasters would become more severe year by year - severe droughts, locust plagues, cold waves, and floods would follow one after another; he knew that the court would not do enough to provide disaster relief, and rogue bandits would spread across the prairie; he also knew that the young emperor who had just ascended the throne would push the Ming Dynasty to the grave step by step.
In order to prevent the Jiading Three Massacres and the Yangzhou Ten Days from happening again, Chen Pingan directly exposed his identity and deceived Chongzhen, thus extending the Ming Dynasty's luck for another hundred years.
