[History | Famine years | Pocket dimension | Battle for the throne]
Meng Chang'an woke up to find himself in the final years of the Great Zhou dynasty.
Disasters had ravaged the land for years, leaving a thousand li of barren earth, while the court levied exorbitant taxes and powerful clans seized land at a frenzied pace.
Fortunately, Meng Chang'an awakened the System and gained a pocket dimension with ten thousand mu of spirit fields, where crops grew faster!
While others were selling their children for a mouthful of food, he was already stockpiling grain!
While others risked their lives for half a sack of coarse rice, his granaries were already piled high!
In troubled times, food is life. Food is an army!
Starting by sheltering refugees, Meng Chang'an cleared land for farming, stockpiled provisions, forged weapons, and gradually swallowed up mountain strongholds until he ruled over his own territory!
The powerful clans wanted to crush him?
Destroy them!
Corrupt officials wanted to seize his grain?
Kill them!
The court ordered him to surrender his military command?
Meng Chang'an gazed at the million dan of grain and dozens of thousands of iron cavalry behind him, then slowly drew his saber.
"If the emperor can sit on this throne, why can't I, Meng Chang'an?"
