[Farming] + [Development] + [Travel Between Two Worlds] + [Famine Years] + [Feel-Good Power Fantasy]
In the Great Yan Kingdom, floods are followed by droughts, and natural disasters never cease. The people struggle to survive.
Chen Xian, the owner of a grain and oil shop, is knocked unconscious by a pile of rice. When he opens his eyes, he has transmigrated to an age of famine and become a young village chief in the Great Yan Kingdom.
The original owner sold off the village's good farmland for next to nothing and squandered the family's savings, earning everyone's resentment.
The villagers avoid him, and his sister-in-law insists on splitting up the family!
Chen Xian, the unlucky fool, is left to deal with the whole mess.
Fortunately, he can travel back and forth between Great Yan and his modern grain and oil shop, sending an endless stream of supplies through.
And so...
Plenty of polished rice and white flour, and he builds his fortune on salt and liquor!
Mine ore and smelt iron, smuggle and trade goods, clear land and farm.
The whole village goes from hunger and cold to having all the food and drink they could want.
When refugees and people fleeing famine follow the smell of rice into Heishan Village, they see the rice and meat soup being handed out freely.
"Holy crap, is this some kind of earthly paradise?"
Even before the disaster is over, we are anxious to find a woman for our protagonist.
Human nature is evil [fear]
