Cheng Rui, a modern social worker, woke up and traveled to the Tang Dynasty in the third year of Zhenguan. He became a poor boy with the same name in Yunyang County, Jingzhao Prefecture. The beginning is hell mode: the father dies young, the mother is bedridden, the family property has been sold off by the original owner, and the country squire Zhao Decai still owes a huge debt. All that is left is a leaky adobe house and the seven-year-old, sallow and skinny younger sister Cheng Xiaoyu. His neighbors regarded him as a hopeless prodigal, and his creditors were eager to wait for the deadline to come and seize the house, and even wanted to pay off his sister's debt.
Faced with a desperate situation, Cheng Rui had no time to lament. He knows very well that time travel itself is the biggest golden finger - the scientific and engineering knowledge, business thinking and historical vision that transcend the times in his mind are his only capital for a comeback. In the eyes of others, "Cheng Rui" after waking up was still not doing his job: he tinkered with wood and iron to improve farm tools, collected cheap animal bone fat to make "soap", and boiled rotten fruits to purify "rock sugar". Everyone laughed at him for being crazy and prodigal and finding new tricks.
However, a miracle happened quietly. The improved Quyuan plow greatly increased the output of the family's remaining vegetable land; the fragrant "Cheng's Fragrant Pancreas" was accidentally spotted by passing merchants and sold at a high price; the crystal clear "Rock Sugar" opened the door to wealthy businessmen in the county. Cheng Rui used the first pot of gold to repay part of the interest, stabilize his creditors, and gradually win the trust of some simple neighbors with tangible profits. He organized the villagers to establish a "mutual aid cooperative", unified the procurement of raw materials, divided production, and centralized sales. It expanded from soap and rock sugar to simple furniture and improved farm tools, and created a rudimentary handicraft industry in the countryside of Yunyang County.
