You're Just a Border County, So Why Do You Have a Million Soldiers?

[System] [Infrastructure and Farming] [Strategy] [Feel-Good Read]

Zhao Yuan transmigrates to another continent during an age of warring lords and catastrophic drought. From the start, he is assigned a small border county beset by bandits, where only a few hundred starving refugees remain, fighting over scraps.

It's a nightmare start, but he binds to the Rations System.

For every legal permanent resident in his jurisdiction, it grants him a dou of rice at midnight each day!

To survive in this chaotic age, Zhao Yuan uses his position as county commandant to provide relief, introduce new policies, reward farming, station troops in the county, and build towering walls.

By the time the various lords realize what is happening and try to send troops to wipe him out,

they discover that the little county is home to a hundred thousand elite soldiers in heavy armor!

Zhao Yuan stands atop the city wall and smiles wryly. "All I wanted was to farm a little."

"Since you won't let me farm in peace, I don't mind wiping you all out."
