Lin Bei thinks his situation is hell difficulty from the start.
The land of exile is nothing but saline wasteland, and more than thirty members of his clan are counting on him for food.
Luckily, Grandma discovers that they can pull things out of the ancestral tablets: tablets equal a supermarket, and family unity equals electricity.
From then on, everything takes a bizarre turn:
His younger female cousin teaches the ancient farmhands about "rat race" and how to "lie flat."
His third uncle turns a threshing machine into a fully automated one, and the local villagers think a god has descended to earth.
His aunt uses modern bookkeeping to cook the books... no, to prepare the family's financial statements.
Amid all the chaos, Kuhai County gets a shopping district, schools, hospitals, and even tourist attractions.
Lin Bei stands on the city wall and marvels: Were we really exiled here? Weren't we supposed to be developing the place?
