Gu Changjun, a graduate student in the Department of History, accidentally traveled to the Yan Dynasty and became a poor scholar with a poor family. Three dilapidated houses, one old servant, a box of moldy books, and a marriage contract that was rejected by the wealthy businessman's in-laws - the beginning was hell difficulty. Faced with the humiliation of breaking off the engagement, he calmly dealt with it and dug out one hundred and fifty taels of liquidated damages from the Qi family, making his first pot of gold after time travel. Relying on his knowledge of modern economics and his accumulation of research on agricultural history, he wrote "Minutes of Sericulture" and founded a silk cooperative, twisting scattered farmers into a rope, using economies of scale and standardized production to break exploitation, allowing poor silkworm farmers to taste the sweetness of a bumper harvest for the first time. At the same time, based on the knowledge of world affairs left by his grandfather, he regained the right path of the imperial examination, won the first place in the county examination, and won the title of first-in-command. From a run-down family to a rising star in the countryside, from being looked down upon to being appreciated by the county magnate, Gu Changjun embarked on a unique counterattack path of "nurturing his education through business, using his education to become an official, and using his official career to protect his business". However, the chronic problems of excessive taxes, land annexation, and official corruption deep in the dynasty are far from being solved by one county or one corner. He was robbed in the capital, met Miss Zhou's family, and joined forces with Qi Yunting, the son of a cotton merchant, to lay out... A larger chessboard was slowly opened in front of him.
