When an entire family is lucky enough to join the transmigration craze and transmigrate to an alternate dynasty resembling ancient China, but not quite the same, what should they do?
Of course, get rich! But how could Shi Wuya, a fine young man raised under socialism, leave the villagers behind?
So the whole family leads the villagers in farming, building schools, developing infrastructure, and more...
Shi Wuya also finds himself a boyfriend, which can count as part of the work of "building the foundations" between men. After all, isn't the most romantic kind of love between two men having a shared cause to work toward?
Promoting crops, farming in partnership, building village schools, raising livestock collectively, providing rural healthcare...
In the end, Little Bamboo Village becomes a vibrant community founded on collectivism.
The elderly are cared for, children are educated, the poor have support, and those in difficulty receive help. Every villager can realize their life's worth through their labor and their place in the village community.
And this is not the end. Neighboring villages, and then many more, follow their example, and the Little Bamboo Village model springs up across Dayong like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
The neighboring villages also combine their strengths in specialized industries, creating a regional cycle of production and exchange.
The Chanxi Academy spreads these new ideas through education, and even the Crown Prince becomes one of its students.
As for Shi Wuya himself after getting rich:
No crowds of servants waiting on him: he can take care of his own meals and clothes!
No private gardens to admire: he can check out the village park!
No tenant farmers or estate laborers to exploit: he owns shares in collective enterprises!
Come from the people, and go back to the people!
Next book in the works: "The Vegetable Grower and the Flower Grower," an urban fantasy farming story. If you're interested, visit my author page and add it to your collection!
Blurb:
What is the innate talent of the descendants of Yan and Huang? One of them must be farming.
But how do you farm in a city? On the balcony!
After the spiritual qi revival, Xu Yan and Yu Cangheng unexpectedly become neighbors.
But although they're both balcony farmers, Xu grows vegetables while Yu grows flowers.
Neither is willing to give in. They never intended to be friends, but their mothers are secretly pushing them together.
Little by little, the two of them end up together.
But when it comes to a certain variety of the brassica family, should it be called "cauliflower" or "flowering cabbage"?
The two start arguing all over again...
Only when Yu finally declares that it should be called "cauliflower" does the debate end.
Xu Yan is just about to gloat, thinking he's won an argument,
when he discovers that, since their couple name has already been decided, he's the one who ends up as the bottom.
Still, if it's called cauliflower, then bottom it is. After all, that "flower" isn't half bad.
A food blogger who grows vegetables and loves to complain, the bottom × a cool, aloof flower-growing author, the top
A friendly reminder:
1. This is a long, slow-burn novel about infrastructure building and farming. The romance develops slowly! The romance develops slowly! The romance develops slowly! The two protagonists fall in love before they marry (or enter a marriage contract), and after marriage they help and support each other.
2. The story features quite a few supporting characters from all walks of life. Some work alongside the protagonists to build their enterprises, while others serve as antagonists (though there aren't many).
3. The story includes traditional festivals, customs, clothing, and everyday life. However, the setting is entirely fictional, so please don't scrutinize the historical details too closely.
4. The main focus is still on building their enterprises. The protagonists' romance is woven into the story, but this is not an overwhelmingly sweet romance from beginning to end.
5. This is the author's first novel, and the writing and plot will gradually improve. Readers have said that the writing gets better as the story progresses, so I hope you'll be patient with me.
6. Although this is a long novel, I absolutely will not abandon it.
Theme: Come from the people, and go back to the people!
Ouch, you finally updated a chapter
The newly revised plot has not changed, only the author has added some comments if he has something to say. Friends who have read it can take a look if they are interested... Next chapter, updated tomorrow (Friday)
You are also a scholar who can enter the Palace of Eternal Life.
🙏 Oh, room sharing is your little hobby, Hongsha, Muscles, Xiaolin, you are too astringent. This is not a big deal! Thanks to my wife for writing such a thoughtful article on mutual farming!
So, is this a pigeon?
If we meet again someday, how will I congratulate you? With tears, with silence.
Why do you need monthly updates? I really can't keep going. I've forgotten what I said.
Damn, I started following your article during the winter vacation of my third year in junior high school, but now I'm almost a sophomore in high school...
Damn, you won't really be captured, right? Even if you take a leave of absence, I feel so uneasy with you like this!
Tied! The infrastructure article written in large letters is great. It has plot and knowledge and the outlook is very positive! Haha looking forward to the next chapter
