Reborn in 1888: Opening Up the Wilderness and Building Industry in the Mountains

Zhang Wei wakes up to find that he has become the only son of a wealthy landowner in the Guangxu era.

The Self-Strengthening Movement is in full swing, and everything seems prosperous, but the empire is rotten to the core and on the verge of collapse.

Starting out with a thousand mu of fertile farmland, he opens mines, builds factories, and establishes schools, helping the people of his hometown thrive.

When the imperial court proves useless, he raises his own militia to protect the local community. With a torrent of steel far ahead of its time, he gives the era a resounding slap in the face.

See how a humble country landowner uses a corner of southern Jiangxi to forge a path to national strength through industry, protecting the people along the way!
