Lin Wan, a doctor of modern agriculture, traveled through time and became an orphan girl in an ancient rural area who was about to be sold for happiness. When she was about to die, she was rescued by Shen Yan, a scholar from a poor family who failed in the exam and returned to his hometown in despair. In order to repay his kindness and survive, Lin Wan relied on modern knowledge to lead the impoverished Shen family and villagers to quietly become rich, starting from improving farm tools and cultivating high-yielding grain varieties. Her "strange skills and obscene skills" and Shen Yan's rekindled articles of benefiting the world aroused the greedy covetousness of the squires and county magistrates, and inadvertently touched upon the life-and-death struggle between the "new law" and the "old system" in the court.
Shen Yan discovered that the so-called "death of sudden illness" of his mentor, a Qingliu official who advocated light corvee and low taxes and emphasis on farming and mulberry farming, was actually related to the powerful King Zhao who was now obstructing the promotion of Lin Wan's farming method. In order to protect the family's monopolized land and tax interests, King Zhao did not hesitate to frame Zhongliang. Shen Yan decided to use his pen as a sword and return to the court, while Lin Wan became the most solid "granary" and "think tank" behind him. One of them competed with articles in the temple, and the other built a foundation in the countryside with industry.
What they face is not only the overt and covert attacks of the Zhao Wang Group, but also the entire society's contempt for female talents and rejection of "Kit Kat". When Lin Wan's high-yielding grain seeds became a life-saving straw in a disaster year, but also became an excuse for King Zhao to slander him for "demagoguery." Shen Yan had to turn the memorials soaked in blood and tears into a fatal blow to the rotten heart at the last moment when the emperor was seriously ill. This is a war with fields as a chessboard and articles as weapons. They not only want to show off their mentor, but also plow a new way of life for an era.
Purpose: Farming and reading to inherit the family, selecting scholars through the imperial examination, poetry and wine, and family etiquette.
