Synopsis

Lei Yin died in the dead of night while working overtime.

When he opened his eyes again, he was lying in the mud of Chang’an’s West Market, blood running from the back of his head. If he couldn’t pay back five strings of cash within three days, this rickety shop would belong to the Sun family.

It was the thirteenth year of Tianbao, in Chang’an at the height of its golden age. All nations paid tribute, and granaries overflowed with rice. Yet he was the poorest person on this street: eighteen years old, both parents dead, and all he owned was half a sack of flour, a jar of coarse salt, and a stove of cold flatbread.

As he counted out tomorrow’s money for flour, three people walked into the shop.

The old man in front held a wooden tablet. On the front was his father’s name; on the back were nine deeply carved characters:

Before spring, deliver two hundred shi of grain to the village.

The old man said the village had once held sixteen hundred people. Now only four hundred remained.

His father had clutched this tablet until the day he died. The grain had not gone undelivered; it had been stolen along the way.

“The men who robbed it wore the armor of the imperial army.”

Lei Yin gave him only two words: “I’ll deliver it.” Just then, something appeared in his mind: [Ten-Thousandfold Cashback System]

Spend one coin, get ten thousand times the amount back. There was only one rule: the treasury had no limit, but each day he could withdraw only one string of cash. Overnight, the money in his name had grown to seventy-four strings.

But today, he couldn’t withdraw even one extra coin.

So he did something no one on the street could understand: he reheated the cold flatbread until it smelled delicious, scrubbed the dirt from the coarse salt until it was pure white, and saved up one coin at a time. Grain prices rose all the way to seventy coins per dou. All the grain in the West Market was controlled by one person. And what he needed was two hundred shi, one hundred and forty strings of cash, and a System that would only give him one string a day. Later, when the Sun family’s shop went under, everyone on the whole street had to bow and call him Shopkeeper Lei.
