In the third year of the Apocalypse, there was a severe drought in the northern part of Great Yan, and refugees were everywhere. Lin Zhao, a modern soul, travels through the world as a disaster victim whose parents died and fled famine with his sister. He faces the desperate situation of cannibalism and corrupt officials cutting off food.
With modern knowledge, he used the Guanyin soil identification method to obtain life-saving food, established regulations to gather the refugees, and offered the strategy of "relief for work + lime disinfection" to solve the plague, and was allowed to enter the city. Hidden in the abyss, he hoards food in Jiangling with futures thinking, improves iron-making methods, and worships the escort agency as a quick master; he meets the princess Xiao Jingyan, who is secretly investigating the case, and recruits the down-and-out scholar Shen Mo as an aide. He defends the rebellion in the state capital and is granted the title of Jiangling County Male.
When guarding Liangzhou, Lin Zhao imitated Qi's army to practice rural bravery, create a mandarin duck formation, study earthquake thunder, and establish military settlements and mutual markets. Facing the 100,000-strong army in Beidi, he implemented the strategy of clearing the country with strong walls and attacking the grain road at night. He defeated the enemy army with thunderous thunder, beheaded the enemy commander in formation, made Liang Duke Duke, and exchanged a military order for "pacification of Beidi in three years" in exchange for a marriage contract.
After entering the capital, he defused the danger of his great achievements and gained the title of the three ministers of Yitong of the Kaifu with three speeches and three concessions. He supported the young emperor to ascend the throne and appointed himself regent. He rectified the official administration, reformed the imperial examination, built banks, dug canals, put down the rebellion of the Eight Kings, and obtained the privilege of going to the palace with swords and shoes. Then he opened up the territory and expanded the territory, establishing Diyi in the north, connecting the Western Regions in the west, pacifying the barbarians in the south, and subduing the island countries in the east. He established four major protective palaces, creating a prosperous age for all nations to come to court.
After his success, Lin Zhao went undercover to investigate corruption and redress grievances, improve the decentralization system, and cultivate successors. At the age of fifty, he officially returned to power, was awarded the title of Grand Master, and retired to the south of the Yangtze River with Xiao Jingyan. Historical records: "The prosperity of Yan began with martial arts and became successful in literature. The regent Lin Zhao was the first person in the following three generations." A flourishing epic with knowledge as the blade, from a refugee to a regent, begins here.
