Dingding in the Late Ming Dynasty

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the situation collapsed. Famine, war, and taxation were superimposed. Local tyrants, government officials, and Jianghu forces were interfering with each other. The order of a small town was on the verge of collapse. Zhu Yingheng, a member of the clan's side branch, came from a poor family, and his soul passed through him. With no soldiers, no power, and no status, he could only start with things that could be implemented: stabilizing people's hearts, clarifying food routes, determining bills and rosters, and establishing a set of operable rules. But in troubled times, rules often touch interests, and any step may lead to counterattack, forcing him to constantly adjust his methods and stance. The story unfolds from a county town and revolves around the reconstruction of order, the struggle for power and the pull of people's hearts. Every choice the protagonist makes will bring about a new situation and leave new questions.
