After transmigrating to the Great Qian Dynasty, what Zhou Yan inherited wasn't fertile fields or a grand mansion, but a ghost village everyone avoided like the plague.
The villagers were so poor they could barely feed themselves. The forty-seven households were ready to flee at any moment, while the county office was demanding they pay eighty-seven taels in back taxes within four months.
Just as Zhou Yan was about to take over and run for it, the [People's Development System] activated.
The lame carpenter was actually a former master craftsman from the Ministry of Works. The mute blacksmith had once managed the border army's weapons. The blind old man could find a mineral vein with a casual point of his finger. The mad scholar had once been the top scorer in the imperial exams.
All the useless folk others looked down on became top talent in Zhou Yan's hands.
Repair waterwheels, reclaim fields, build workshops, take in refugees...
Years later, the ghost village everyone used to avoid had become the greatest city in the realm, the place every commoner desperately wanted to enter.
The first one is very good, the setting is very novel, even a ten-year-old bookworm can understand it haha
