One Divination a Day: I Search the Mountains and Hunt to Fill My Granary

[Hunger and Hunting] [Farming and Conquest] [Harem of Beauties]

He transmigrates to the end of a dynasty, just as famine breaks out.

Zhou Li discovers that the ancient coins he carries with him have an extraordinary power to predict the future:

[Today's Divination]

[Minor Fortune: There's a nest of bamboo rats in the bamboo grove at the end of the village.]

[Moderate Fortune: There's a twenty-year-old ginseng plant on Little Green Mountain, but be careful not to get lost.]

[Great Misfortune: Heavy snow has sealed off the mountain. A wounded lone wolf is roaming around. You'd better stay away.]

Following the signs, Zhou Li avoids misfortune and seeks good fortune, returning from every hunting trip with a full haul.

While others are still eating husks, wild vegetables, and tree bark, he feeds his whole family steamed buns made of white flour, with storehouses full of grain and meat.

He cultivates martial arts, fights landlords, gathers refugees, raises a private army, and puts down bandits...

When war finally erupts, Zhou Li suddenly realizes that the villagers have prepared a yellow robe for him: "Your Majesty, it's cold. Put on another layer..."

I hear that one steamed bun can buy a young maiden out there. My storehouses are full of grain and meat. I wonder if I could trade them for this vast empire?
