A slow-burn story about farming and technical innovation. The heroine appears later. There is only one female lead, and she is absolutely worth looking forward to.
After an unexpected transmigration to Liangzhou in the Great Yong dynasty, he becomes the son of a military farming household at the very bottom of the border commandery.
Sandstorms fill the sky and beacon towers dot the land. The Northern Frontier's wolf-like cavalry watch hungrily, while the powerful clans of Liangzhou scheme against one another. In this age of chaos, human life is worth no more than grass.
He will not rebel, claim the throne, or build a harem. He will rely solely on modern military engineering knowledge to establish himself on the frontier.
He improves weapons, builds beacon towers, clears wasteland for farming, and fortifies the defenses, using lime, crossbows, and concrete to build a barrier across Hexi.
From an unremarkable young man in a military farming settlement, he advances one careful step at a time, trains troops, guards the frontier, and puts down deep roots in the Western Regions.
He will defend Liangzhou, protect its countless people, and share a deep love with one woman.
Sandstorms sweep across the Qilian Mountains, while ironclad resolve guards Hexi.
