Records of the Five Dynasties Jingguo

In the winter of the second year of Kaiping in the Later Liang Dynasty, Xiao Yun, a graduate student in the history department, opened his eyes and became a dying refugee by the Bianshui River. On the frozen soil littered with corpses, he carried half a volume of "The Book of Si Sheng" and dragged his festering injured leg. Behind him was the blood and fire of Zhu Wen's cavalry massacring the village. No system, no domineering spirit—— Only modern knowledge can ignite a spark in troubled times: The Quyuan plow turns out new millet, the saline-alkali soil turns out snow salt, and the Liulifang burns out priceless treasures. When the sky-shaking thunder shattered the Khitan cavalry and the flintlock guns blasted through the noble families, the refugees under his command became the "Jingwu Army" sweeping across the Central Plains. Zhu Wen regarded him as a serious nuisance, Li Cunxu formed an alliance with him and then betrayed him, and Yelu Abaoji wanted to swallow up his inheritance. Xiao Yun smiled and unfolded the map: "Rice from the south of the Yangtze River, horses from the western region, salt ships from the East China Sea... What I want is to end this chaotic world of cannibalism." Starting from a bag of moldy corn, he used knowledge as fire and people's hearts as his blade. After fifty years of warlord fighting and intrigues among the ten countries, they will eventually be crushed to dust by iron plows and gunpowder. "History is written by the victors? No, by the tillers." ——On the founding day of the new dynasty, Xiao Yun burned all the "Old History of the Five Dynasties" and wrote the first line: The people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least.
