I'm Too Softhearted, Yet I Built an Iron Empire!

Xu Kun transmigrates to another world overnight. He can't bear to see those around him suffer, the people living in poverty, or his country being bullied. What can he do? Build guns! Build cannons! Crush them with technology! The people don't have enough to eat? Develop agriculture and hybrid rice! Grow sweet potatoes! Grow potatoes! Reform the military and the land system! Xu Kun declares, "I have grand ambitions. Watch me blast my way to glory!" (I'm a new author, so please go easy on me.)
