This is not just one person's rise to power, but a passionate legend of an era! "The Hongwu Journey: A Legend of Rise from Poverty to Imperial Power": A story of a craftsman's struggle filled with wisdom and passion, witnessing how the protagonist uses his own hands to pave a path from the Jianghuai region to the entire world! Title Two: How exhilarating is a suspenseful tech-savvy protagonist story?

You think transmigrating to ancient times and getting technical expertise is just small-scale stuff? The scope is broadened!

If you think this is just a slice-of-life farming novel, you're sorely mistaken! The story is set against the grand historical backdrop of the early Yongle reign, a period of "rest and recuperation, and the development of the Grand Canal": • A central theme of "accessibility": From solving water shortages in pottery workshops to improving canal transport machinery, and laying the foundation for ocean voyages, the protagonist's vision and career advance step by step, revealing an infinitely broad scope. • A group of vibrant characters: The resilient and innovative tech-savvy protagonist Lin Fu, the highly skilled and practically intelligent Su Wan'er, and the soon-to-appear daughter of a shipbuilding family, Xiao Xueyan… their "technological iron triangle" will be the core of future upheavals. • A revolutionary era: The novel meticulously recreates the Ming Dynasty's handicrafts, canal transport, and official kiln system, perfectly integrating personal struggles into the historical tide, allowing you to feel the powerful spirit of personally driving the development of the era. The first 80 chapters, seemingly about Tao Sang of Jianghuai, actually lay the groundwork for a dramatic development: the opening of a nationwide transportation network!
