He is the deputy county magistrate in charge of the economy of a county-level city in Zhejiang. He is a graduate of the 985 program and has worked hard at the grassroots level for twenty years. He has worked all the way from the deputy secretary of the township to the deputy county magistrate, building roads, attracting investment, and planning industries. He has strong bones at every step. But he is also the most frustrated deputy county magistrate - he is capable and has ideas, but he is suppressed by his leaders and tied up by favors. He encounters obstacles at every turn and is unable to move forward.
Until late one night when he was working overtime, he collapsed in the office. When he woke up again, it was already the first year of Jingyun of the Tang Dynasty - Guiyang County, Lianzhou, Lingnan Road, a remote small county so poor that he only had three guan of money left. He is the county magistrate.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one restrains him, no one suppresses his plan, no one throws his planning book into the drawer. He wants to use the full set of modern county economic methods-the Development and Reform Bureau, the Finance Bureau, the Guangongfang, and the Transportation Department-to build Datang's first new industrial city in this wild land. When powerful people blocked the way, he fought against powerful people; when assassins climbed over the wall, he laid traps; when the prince paid a private visit incognito, he seized the opportunity to change his destiny.
From Guiyang to Wanqiu, from Wanqiu to Chang'an, from Qipin County Magistrate to Quanzhi Zhongshu Ling, he spent more than 20 years turning three guans of money into 30 million guan of imperial taxes, turning a blast furnace into 600 Guangongfang, and engraving the reform sample of a poor county into the "Kaiyuan New Deal Regulations" and turning it into the cornerstone of the entire prosperous era.
He assisted Li Longji in killing Princess Taiping and creating a prosperous Kaiyuan era. However, when the power was in power, he personally handed over the power and returned to Guiyang to continue to be his county magistrate. The tombstone behind him does not say Prime Minister or Tai Tu, but only five words - "Guiyang County Magistrate".
