Therefore Zhao Fengxue

In the first year of Kaiping in Daliang, the Tang Dynasty fell. But for the people in Shimen in Xingzhou, even if the emperor changed, the food they owed would not be less. Zhao Jiulang was born in a poor family in the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain, ranking ninth. The five brothers died in battles, corvee labor, military law, and famine. The sisters either died early or were exchanged for wives with a bag of grain. When he was sixteen years old, the government once again pressed for grain, and only his elderly mother and a skinny donkey were left in the family. In order to survive, he was forced to walk out of the stone door. He doesn't know a few words, doesn't know the art of war, and has no extraordinary martial arts. All he knows is to identify mountain roads, take care of livestock, and estimate the weight of a cart of grain. But in this world where food is more valuable than people, knowing how to keep a group of people alive is a skill in itself. The royal flags at the top of the city were constantly changing, and the armies of Liang and Jin were fighting in Heshuo. The government confiscated grain, and the army captured young men. Zhao Jiulang originally just wanted to bring back the last donkey in his family. However, when he first discovered that the grain bag contained stones instead of corns, he saw the world clearly for the first time.
