After transmigrating to the Great Yu dynasty as a low-ranking steward, Li Zhi discovered that his only golden finger was the store of common knowledge he had accumulated from thirty years of scrolling on his phone in his previous life.
He wasn’t a top student and had no idea how to make gunpowder or glass, but at least he knew the Earth was round, bacteria caused infections, supply and demand could be manipulated, and... a few classical poems he’d memorized from his school textbooks.
That’s it? That’s all it takes to dominate the ancient world!
The Changning Marquis’s household had lost three generations of men in battle and owed sixty thousand taels. All that remained was a house full of women and a manor crawling with schemers.
Li Zhi appeared deferential, but inside he was arrogant. With modern management theory, he cleaned out the parasites in the marquis’s household; with basic economics, he brought unscrupulous salt merchants to tears. And when all else failed, he recited a couple of classical poems to take command of the room. Don’t ask. He was simply gifted.
In the Great Yu dynasty, beset by internal and external troubles and surrounded by wolves, Li Zhi carved out a path to success through sheer pragmatism and a sharp tongue that never pulled its punches.
The women of the marquis’s household: “Steward Li, how many more surprises do you have in store?”
Li Zhi: “Shh. I learned it all from short videos.”
A very good book. I have rarely seen such relaxed writing in so many years. I support it.
It's rare to see a good farming article
