The Prosperous Age Begins with Refugees

When history professor Zhou Zhenyu opened his eyes, he was transformed into a refugee who was about to starve to death, and he even picked up a thin little beggar as his son. It happened to be a troubled time, with famine everywhere. Fortunately, his system could be exchanged for modern grains. He originally wanted to farm in a low profile and raise his "son" to survive, but he didn't know that the "son" he picked up was the prince of the dynasty who was lost while the emperor was on a tour in disguise and whose whereabouts were unknown. Seeing his "son" worrying all day long and saying "childlike words" like "the treasury is empty, how can the people feed themselves?", Zhou Zhenyu felt deep sympathy and decided to teach by words and deeds. He led the refugees to reclaim wasteland, producing thousands of catties of crops per acre; he built water conservancy projects, and the fields were fertile for thousands of miles. Until one day, one hundred thousand iron cavalry came to the city with flags fluttering. The old emperor at the head had tears in his eyes and shouted to the little beggar next to Zhou Zhenyu: "Prince! I finally found you!" While the whole army knelt down, the little prince grabbed Zhou Zhenyu's clothes and blurted out to the emperor: "Father, if you want, make my father the regent!"... Through a series of magnificent institutional reforms and the rise of science and technology, he helped Taizi (son) sweep across the world, expand territories, and achieve imperial hegemony.
