Legalist from a Poor Family

Xu Xinzhi

26K0

Yi Cai, a modern young man, traveled through time and became an orphan from a poor family of the same name. He faced the crisis of food shortage and the conspiracy of his second uncle to "escape the family". With modern knowledge, he started by hunting and identifying wild vegetables to provide food and clothing, and gradually used composting and seed selection techniques to increase field yields. He also invented simple cleaning soap and improved pickle technology to earn his first bucket of money. His rise led to joint suppression by his second uncle and Zhou Xiangsheng. Yi Cai united Shitou, Wan Niang, Lao Xu Tou and others to form the "Xingye" small alliance to use wisdom to resolve crises such as tax increases and land deeds. Finally, when his industry threatened the interests of the county grain merchants, a final siege launched by local powerful, corrupt officials and clan remnants came. Relying on the accumulated hearts, evidence and strategies, Yi Cai successfully defended his foundation and established the "Anmin Society" to support the villagers on the eve of the turmoil.
