Late Tang Dynasty: Jiangnan in Troubled Times, Rising from Defending the Territory

When others traveled through the late Tang Dynasty, they either had princes as generals, or started with thousands of elite soldiers. Chen Yan traveled deep into Huoshan Mountain, where there were only seven acres of thin fields and three thatched huts, guarding dozens of villagers who didn't have enough to eat. With someone else's system in hand, you can farm out supplies and weapons out of thin air, and you can conquer the army at the beginning. Chen Yan only has a lot of farming books and arithmetic. He relies on compost to improve the soil, builds canals to divert water, and relies on various methods to organize the village defense. Others are equipped with swords and guns, and the soldiers of the government are clearing the way, watching for the wind and falling wherever they go. Chen Yan clutched a rusty hatchet and had to lead his fellow villagers to fend off defeated soldiers and roving bandits. Thirty years later, the historian wrote: At the end of the Tang Dynasty, all the heroes came together, and the only one who determined the world from the beginning was the Chen family of Huoshan. At that time, no one knew where it came from. They only knew that it originated in the grass and flourished in a humble place.
