After transmigrating to become the acting magistrate and a hundred-household commander of Ningcheng, Bai Shengxue starts off in a dead-end situation: five thousand Hu horsemen threaten the border, corrupt officials frame him, and the granaries are completely empty.
Fortunately, he awakens a mysterious exchange System. As long as someone experiences an emotional fluctuation, he can exchange it for modern cutting-edge technology!
Pistols teach the Hu people a lesson, concrete walls make cavalry crash headlong into them, honeycomb briquettes let him monopolize the border economy, and glassmaking empties the nobles' wallets.
Starting in Ningcheng County, Bai Shengxue sweeps all before him: he executes corrupt officials, purges parasites, builds infrastructure, and amasses wealth. He treats the Tianqi Empire like an ATM, the Hu people like experience points, and the Japanese ronin like punching bags.
The Hu people: "Heaven has sent divine troops! We can't afford to provoke them!"
The commoners: "Lord Bai, please raise our salaries a little more!"
The prefectural officials: "W-what is he, a magistrate or the God of Wealth on the frontier?"
See how a frontier overlord turns Ningcheng into an impregnable realm amid the chaos of war!
