The Story of Dayong's Promotion

A graduate student in the Department of Agriculture and Forestry woke up and transformed into the eighth-rank county magistrate of Yidu County in the Yong Dynasty. The beginning was a mess: drought caused a reduction in summer grain production, the people were without food, Zhao Dechang, the incompetent county magistrate, was greedy, and the Qingzhou Prefecture's document urging tax payment was like a reminder. Once it comes, make peace with it. Relying on the historical knowledge and modern thinking accumulated in his previous life, Lin Fu first resisted harsh taxation, tried to protect the disaster victims, and risked his life to apply for tax exemptions from the Qingzhou Prefecture. Later, he uncovered evidence of Zhao Dechang's corruption, and even followed the clues to lead to the corruption chain of his colleagues in the Qingzhou Prefecture. During the investigation, he cleverly used "sampling verification" to verify the disaster-stricken households, used "categorical counting" to clear accounts, and relied on "soil water conservation" to persuade farmers and mulberry trees. He even unexpectedly had a dream conversation with Emperor Jinghe who was investigating in disguise, and won the emperor's favor with his sentence "the people are struggling in mud and water." From investigating corruption and preparing autumn seeds, to protecting the people and stabilizing the party, Lin Fu, as an eighth-rank official, worked step by step in the quagmire of Dayong officialdom. He not only had to deal with the opposition of his colleagues and the difficulties of superior officials, but also had to integrate modern wisdom into ancient governance, and he also had to find a balance between imperial power and people's livelihood. This is a counterattack that started in Yidu County, and it is also a legend of a time traveler using his own efforts to write "a life for the people" in a strange dynasty.
