Rise to Power from Nothing in a Chaotic Age

Li Mu, a modern special forces soldier and agricultural expert, opens his eyes to find he's become the leader of a band of refugees in a chaotic age. Hundreds of starving refugees under his command stare with hungry eyes, while powerful clans and government troops eye them menacingly from across the way. Others rely on military might to conquer the land. He relies on farming to feed his troops, road construction to build wealth, and gunpowder to blast city gates. By the time everyone thinks he's just a dirt-poor peasant scavenging for scraps, Li Mu has already filled his granaries, forged his weapons and armor, and started weakening the enemy's city walls.
