In the Famine Years, I Ran a Grain Depot, and the Empress Revered Me as the Nation's Guardian Deity

Zhang Yang never expected that a bronze cauldron would make him a god in the hearts of an entire nation's people. He also spoils a peerlessly beautiful young empress from ancient times, shaping her into the woman he wants.

After inheriting his father's grain depot, he is drowning in debt, but unexpectedly discovers that his ancestral bronze cauldron can connect to the Great Ning Kingdom two thousand years in the past.

For generations, Ning has guarded Huaxia, but now it has suffered three years of drought, leaving the people destitute.

The soldiers have gone three days without a grain of rice, and the people are driven to eat one another's children.

That day, an endless supply of food pours from the bronze cauldron, and Zhang Yang begins his stockpiling spree.

Spicy snack sticks, instant noodles, and ham sausages; barbecue, hot pot, and big-plate chicken; then some river snails, bullfrogs, and crayfish. With his own efforts, he gives an entire nation a feast.

He sends over modern weapons, technological products, industrial know-how, and advanced ideas.

To repay his great kindness, the empress offers him a glass phoenix crown, paintings and calligraphy, ancient books, coins and treasures, and even the Imperial Seal.

Zhang Yang uses these to solve his debt problems and build his own enterprises in the ancient world: factories, skyscrapers, gold mines, and a dance troupe, putting the ancients to work for him.

Late at night, lights glow in the empress's bedchamber as the god sends her uniforms, black stockings, and a little nightdress...
