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

Zhang Yang never imagined 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 until she becomes just the way he likes her.

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

For generations, the people of Ning have defended Huaxia, but now three years of drought have left the land in misery.

The soldiers haven't eaten a grain of rice in three days, and people are driven to trade their children for food.

Then, one day, an endless flood of grain pours out of the bronze cauldron, and Zhang Yang begins his stockpiling spree.

Spicy strips, 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 taste of the good life.

He sends modern weapons, technological innovations, industrial techniques, and progressive ideas.

To repay his immense kindness, the empress offers him a glass phoenix crown, paintings, calligraphy, ancient books, coins, 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, high-rises, gold mines, even a dance troupe, with the ancients working for him.

Late at night, the empress's bedchamber glows with lamplight as the god sends her uniforms, black stockings, and little pajamas...
