I Farm in Nanchao

In the winter of the third year of Yongming's reign, it snowed heavily in Jiankang. The Jiang family fell due to involvement in the court, and the whole family was driven to the dilapidated Luoxia Courtyard in the west of the city. The legitimate daughter Jiang Xue was framed by her mistress for theft and locked in a woodshed, waiting to be sold. Everyone thought she was finished. No one knows that the ancestor of the Jiang family was a great farmer and left behind a broken ancient scroll. No one knows that this ancient scroll contains the coordinates of fertile fields, hydrology, ancient farming methods, and abandoned fields in various places in the Six Dynasties. Jiang Xue doesn't cry or beg. She opened the ancient scroll and dug out the first plot of land in the abandoned garden after the snow. She doesn't quarrel with others, she only competes with the land. No fighting for favor or revenge, only talking about accounts and profits. From Jiankang to Suzhou, and from Suzhou to Chang'an, she visited three ancient cities. While farming and doing business, she visited old farmers and filled in the remaining pages of ancient scrolls. Ten years later, the ancient scroll was completed. She did not marry into a wealthy family, nor was she granted the title of Madam. She just turned the barren beach into fertile farmland, and turned a broken ancient book into thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. This is the story of a woman who uses a pair of feet, a pen, and an ancient scroll to measure mountains and rivers. No cheats. There is no hero who comes from heaven. Just mud, seeds, ledgers, and a man who refused to accept his fate.
