[Down-on-his-luck landowner + transmigrate and change his fate + ruthless scheming + local gentry power struggles + reclaiming land and stockpiling grain + farming and animal husbandry + infrastructure development (golden finger: an unlimited supply of fresh water, unaffected by drought) + ruthless and merciless]
A down-on-his-luck little landowner transmigrates into a chaotic era of famine. At home, tenant farmers are causing trouble, and indebted villagers are banding together to dodge repayment. Outside, local bullies covet his land and deliberately target him. Liu Shoucai suddenly understands: “If none of you want me to live, then none of you are getting out of this alive!”
When his tenants rebel, he seizes the chance to expose the instigator behind it all and uses the tenants to get rid of the threat.
The river changes course, leaving his fields without water and forcing him to sell his land? No worries. He's got water to spare. Let's see who can outlast whom in this terrible drought!
Everyone says Liu Shoucai is ruthless and will use any means to seize land, forcing refugees to sign contracts of servitude and keeping them by his side to exploit them.
But they don't know that everyone in Liu Shoucai's domain has enough to eat. The maids serving him are well cared for, and the household guards, trained under strict discipline, are unwaveringly loyal and ready to follow him to their deaths.
He raises livestock, reclaims land and stockpiles grain, builds infrastructure and production facilities, recruits household guards, and trains his protectors, until he can provide for himself entirely.
With his ruthless determination, Liu Shoucai takes on the local gentry and powerful families, gains control of local officials, and takes over thousands of acres of fertile land.
He quietly builds his fortune and steadily expands, turning a poor little village into an impregnable fortress.
He schemes behind the scenes and plays the saint in public.
By the time the dynasty collapses, refugees flood the roads, and chaos breaks out, he already has mountains of gold and silver, barns full of grain and meat, a force of able-bodied men at his command, and fertile land under his control.
Come see how this unknown little landowner in a chaotic era takes on the local gentry and powerful families, the local thugs and scoundrels, and every village schemer, rising to fortune and influence.

You dare to copy the people on the same site, you are so brave.
It's really awesome, everyone on the same site copied it.
I have read a similar Landlord novel before, but it was blocked for some reason. The routines are similar to this one. Could it be that the Landlord novel has also formed a fixed template of routines? Although the plot is similar, the writing style of this book is too rough and makes it difficult to read.
You are just greedy for money, let's see how powerful you are as a landlord and a rich man
If you are rich and unkind, you will copy all those things
😏 I've seen a similar book, so it's not a copy, it's an improvement! This book is more black-hearted than that one. It is really dark and humane.
