I Was a County Magistrate in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chen Qi, a frustrated IT man, traveled through time and became the magistrate of a poor county in the Northern Song Dynasty. Faced with official strife, financial depletion and people's livelihood decline, he used modern technology and knowledge to make soap, develop water conservancy, train a new army, run education, and build a deserted land into a paradise of prosperity and tranquility. In the process, he was deeply involved in the passionate emotional entanglement between the gentle and talented Lin Moyun and the sassy chivalrous Su Yunxiu. When Jin Bing's iron hoofs marching south trampled the mountains and rivers, he had to make a choice between guarding a paradise and going north to save the country. He also found his final destination and the true meaning of civilization in the righteousness of his family and the red and white roses.
