A Tenant Farmer’s Everyday Road to Prosperity

[The earlier chapters are being revised, so there may be some inconsistencies. They won't affect the main story.] Yu Sang wakes up one morning and discovers she has transmigrated to an ancient farming household. She thinks this is awful! As a modern city dweller, she's never farmed, and she doesn't know any get-rich-quick tricks like making soap or glass. She has watched a few videos about growing vegetables and grain, though. Out of interest, she's also read a few ancient farming manuals, and even studied the theory behind hybrid rice. With grain yields so low in ancient times, hybrid rice could raise harvests from two or three hundred jin to over a thousand. Yu Sang suddenly feels as if she's found the key to everything! But after asking around, she discovers her family are tenant farmers: they rent other people's fields, and don't own any land at all... On top of that, they have to hand over half their harvest to the landlord. They don't even own land... So how can she develop hybrid rice? First, she'll get rich and buy some land. From a tenant with no land, to an owner of a few mu, then dozens of mu, to a small landlord with a hundred mu, a middle-sized landlord with hundreds of mu, and finally a major landowner with over a thousand mu; then she'll establish schools for industry, agriculture, and practical sciences; build roads; expand the cultivation of crops from overseas, such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes; develop hybrid rice; and eventually discover that researching hybrid rice is too difficult. She keeps making money to fund technological development, only to end up becoming a rich woman herself. The main focus is farming and making money. Reader's notes: 1. This story is set in a fictional world. I'll do my best to make it work. 2. Thanks to all the teachers who have offered guidance. I'm eager to learn, so please go easy on me! 3. No need to tell me if you're dropping the story. Let's part on good terms. Other works by the author: "Reverse Growth [Spiritual Qi Revival]" In the 21st century, Spiritual Qi Revival suddenly sweeps through modern society. After Western countries announce the introduction of magic education, Xie Jian's country also announces that schools will teach cultivation. As a top student, Xie Jian gets this terrible news just after the New Year! She has only four months until the college entrance exam! She was sure to get into a prestigious university, but if she has no spiritual roots, and cultivation becomes part of the standard curriculum, surely university admissions will require a certain level of aptitude. Is her exam doomed? Her family runs an electronics business. Her uncle's family says that once everyone has storage pouches, cultivators won't fear heat or cold, won't need refrigerators to keep food fresh, and won't need air conditioners for heating or cooling. There will definitely be battles in a cultivation world, and refrigerators and freezers might only be useful for transporting corpses, since storage pouches can't hold people. Xie Jian's family is getting a little worried. When they test her, she turns out to have spiritual roots, but something goes wrong during her cultivation. She'd been hoping for something like a lightning tribulation that would transform her, taking her from five feet tall to five foot nine, with fair skin, long legs, and a model's figure. Who knew she'd be cut in half instead, shrinking from five feet to just 75 centimeters? She becomes a one-and-a-half-year-old toddler. Being a toddler is one thing, but when she takes the elevator down from the hotel where she was temporarily cultivating to go home: There's no one else inside, yet the elevator announces, "The elevator is overloaded." Xie Jian looks up at the elevator's weight limit: 0.9 tons. She gets in and out several times, but the elevator keeps announcing that it's overloaded. She mutters, "Stupid elevator," and has no choice but to take the stairs. On the way home, she even runs into human traffickers. The three traffickers take turns crouching down and struggling for five minutes, but none of them can pick her up. In the end, they give up. She's completely baffled. When she gets home, her father is surprised and tries to pick her up, but can't. Xie Jian's dad nearly has an existential crisis and finds a truck scale to weigh her. 1,927 jin! Xie Jian: ??? Her mother stays up all night searching online: How do you care for a one-and-a-half-year-old baby who weighs 1,927 jin... Xie Jian tests her toddler body. She's astonishingly strong, and her soft, fair skin can't be cut with a knife. A super-strong baby? Too heavy for kidnappers to carry off? Incredible defense? It actually seems pretty good...
