   Compared to stories of characters effortlessly conquering their way to power, this story about infrastructure development has a more profound and down-to-earth feel. It tells readers that salvation in a chaotic world comes not only from battlefield victories but also from rebuilding brick by brick. If you're tired of endless political intrigue and violence in ancient romance novels and want to see the protagonist work practically, building cities, cultivating land, and controlling floods, slowly lifting up a broken era through infrastructure development, this book is worth reading.

There are no convoluted love lines; the whole story is about the protagonist leading the villagers to reclaim wasteland, build roads and houses, and develop industries, going from poverty to wealth—the sense of accomplishment is off the charts! I'm currently reading "I'm Doing Construction at the Grassroots Level: More People, More Money," it's funny, lighthearted, and doesn't have any angst. Watching the protagonist rely on "more people, more money" to develop the village is like a stress reliever!

From a dilapidated cave dwelling to a brick house, from a starving little girl to a bountiful village where "wheat ears reach the clouds," the heroine leads the Lu family in reclaiming wasteland, controlling floods, and building a school. They even tame wild boars into "mobile protein banks"! The mother-in-law secretly saves rice and oil, the sister-in-law transforms from a budding embroiderer into a clever scout who sneaks into the village head's office at night, and even an eight-year-old boy can set fire to the granary to expose corruption—the passionate daily life of everyone working together is so adorable!

From saving a child to protecting an entire village, from farming to supporting her family to "revitalizing the nation through education," every page makes you want to shout, "This is the kind of vision a strong female protagonist should have!"

    The first book has no system, no spatial ability, and no cheat codes. The protagonist transmigrates to ancient times and builds infrastructure, relying on his solid knowledge and standing on the shoulders of giants. It's an ancient version of zombies, building from scratch, step by step, which is thrilling for those who enjoy infrastructure stories. 😌[Admiration][Smirk] The second book's protagonist is incredibly strong—intelligent, ruthless, and resourceful. But then again, without sufficient ability, how could he cope with the world depicted in the book? This world is a disaster zone, filled with every imaginable natural calamity. Anyone else would have given up long ago. [Shocked][Pout][Learned] The third book doesn't involve transmigration, but it does have a system. The protagonist builds infrastructure in modern times, focusing on quality and relying on strength. It's really well-written; the only drawback is that it's a bit short. Readers are all commenting, "Author, please write more!" [Learned][Learned][Learned]
