He Lived Until the Fifth Year of Xuande

In the third year of Hongwu, the world was initially settled. Some people praise the founding of the Ming Dynasty, while others look forward to the coming prosperous times. However, when Zhang Si was born, he only received a military household registration. From the moment his name was written in the book, his life had a price tag. The father can die, and the brother can take care of him; if the brother dies, the son can take care of him. Military status has been passed down from generation to generation, and descendants cannot take it off. For low-level military households, life has never been easy. Zhang Si has no system, no space, and no ability to change things. He is just an ordinary person from later generations. He has worked as a welder, a maintenance worker, and has led a few workers. He knows a little bit about craftsmanship and a little calculation, and he also knows how difficult it is for an ordinary person to survive. He doesn't want to dominate the world, nor does he want to leave a name in history. He just wants to live. Live through this winter, live through Hongwu, live through Jianwen, live through Jingnan, live through Yongle, live until the fifth year of Xuande. However, when he truly entered this era, he discovered that the system is more terrifying than hunger, identity is heavier than poverty, and fate is more cruel than death. In order to survive, he repaired tools, learned to make a living, saved his family business, and protected his wife and children; in order to let his descendants get rid of military status, he bowed his head again and again, struggled again and again, and lost again and again. He spent his whole life trying to make a living for his family, but in the end he was just an insignificant figure in the long history. This is the story of an ordinary person struggling at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty for sixty years. It is also the story of a man who spent his whole life fighting against the times, but could never escape from the times. "Living to the Fifth Year of Xuande" - His biggest wish in this life is just to live.
