The Poorest Empire in History Unified the Continent

When the great powers across the continent were armed to the teeth with Tiger tanks, jet fighters, and 10,000-ton warships, Lin Mu, a time-traveling World War II house, only had a few moldy wooden boards and a pile of rusty water pipes in his hands. As a result, the most shabby empire in history quietly rose. He used scrap furniture to make a "Blackstone Type 1" rifle, which cost less than one-tenth of the weapons of the great powers. Use pottery shards and black powder to create a "beggar mine" that will destroy the Scouts. When the torrent of steel from the Golden Horde pressed on the territory, his soldiers rushed forward, carrying "iron fists" made of cast iron pipes and wood, shouting "three rounds for one cart". When the Republic of Dawn's invincible armada approached the sun, his pilots drove the "Wooden Eagle" biplanes nailed with canvas and crashed into the enemy ships in a desperate assault of ten for one. He was ridiculed as "the beggar king carrying a fire stick". Until the crowd used the cheapest weapons to drown the most luxurious legions. The sharpest weapon in his hand was a tax order that tore apart millennium-old privileges: "Everyone is divided into acres, and the gentry are all paid." From then on, the blood of the empire was flowing for every civilian. On this journey starting from sawdust, the fate of four women with different identities is intertwined with him: she is his business brain and Bai Yueguang, she is the cornerstone of his technology and the mole in his heart, she is his shadow blade, she is his cinnabar mole across camps... "We don't have the best steel," Lin Mu said to the military uniforms scattered across the mountains and plains, "but we have the people who want to live the most, and the brains that are best at surviving - now, go and dismantle their tanks into our scrap metal."
