A City From the Start, Farming My Way to Conquest

(This got away from me, so I’ll just say whatever.)

Luo Zhaoming transmigrates to the final years of a chaotic era. He spends his entire fortune to buy the office of county magistrate, only to end up with a crumbling city and a few hundred elderly, weak, and sick people.

Fortunately, he awakens a farming System. While others fight for supremacy with their lives, he does it by farming.

He opens up fertile fields, builds irrigation works, improves farm tools, and doubles the grain harvest.

The neighboring warlord: “That kid Luo Zhaoming is farming again? Attack him before he gets any troops!”

Three months later:

“What? How did that wreck of a city turn into an iron fortress?”

“What? How does he have more troops than us, and why are they so strong?”

“What? He... He even has surplus grain to open the granaries, provide disaster relief, and win people’s hearts?!”

Standing atop the city wall, Luo Zhaoming gazes at the endless golden fields and the army arrayed below, then smiles faintly.

“Don’t rush me. Once I’ve harvested this season’s rice, I’ll unify the whole country.”
