I! Hungry People! Specifically Against the Imperial Court!

In the thirty-ninth year of Qianlong's reign, I became a tenant in Linqing, Shandong Province who was about to starve to death. If you don't pay the rent, you'll die, if you don't run away, you'll die. In this prosperous age where people are starving and dying everywhere, he has to find a way to survive. Not taking the imperial examination, not becoming an official, not even taking a step into the Qing system. When the government had governors of prefectures and counties, they built underground courts to fight against black and white, and to fight against each other. Survive first, then gain a foothold, raise soldiers with farming and fighting, and forge weapons with skill. Feed tens of millions of hungry people and protect the people of one place. From a refugee in the countryside to a giant in the world. There has never been more than one imperial city in the world, the Forbidden City. Everything in this world can be my territory.
