[Three Kingdoms] Farming, Then Becoming Emperor

[System] [Farming] [Infrastructure] [Technology Tree]

The protagonist transmigrates to the end of the Eastern Han dynasty and becomes an orphaned farm boy in a border commandery of Youzhou.

Every year, northern tribes raid south for supplies, while the court's taxes grow heavier by the day. The villagers are starving and gaunt, and at last the protagonist can take no more. He raises his fist and cries out:

Build high walls! Store up grain! Claim the title of king later!

Delete that. Start over.

Food is the people's first necessity! I just want enough to eat!

How hard can farming be? He's grown cherry tomatoes on a balcony before!

The curved plow? On it.

Composting? On it.

Waterwheel? On it.

Blast-furnace ironmaking, purifying salt, papermaking, printing, saddles, stirrups, horseshoes...

On it, on it, all of it!

Later, seated in the grand hall of the imperial palace, he holds a densely written book titled On the Importance of Agriculture to National Development and lectures his trusted right-hand men.

"Food is the people's first necessity. You really can't get by without enough to eat."

At first, all he wanted was to farm in peace. But too many bad guys coveted his land, so he had no choice but to plant them all in it instead.

P.S. Farming his way to power. Pairing: Gongsun Zan. An overwhelmingly powerful, fiercely protective martial general as the gong x a workaholic ruler who never forgets a grudge and always has everyone's back as the shou.
