The First Marquis of Great Chen

“All my life, I’ve wanted nothing more than a quiet, carefree existence: paper and pen, undisturbed; tea and wine, with no worries on my mind!” “But the hand of fate led me step by step out of Baihua Town, into the capital of the Great Chen, and into the halls of government. So I ought to do something for this country and its people.” “What I hope to do, while I’m still alive, is bring this country and its people together in spirit!” “Of course, the first thing is to make sure they have enough to eat and wear.” Xu Xiaoxian, a poverty-alleviation officer, transmigrated to the storm-tossed Great Chen Dynasty with four potatoes and a single ear of corn. Years later, he surveyed the world and found that nowhere could match the Great Chen.
