Chu Yuan transmigrated to the Great Qian dynasty and became the heir of a military family.
Before he could even settle in, his father disappeared, and the court accused his family of treason, exiling him to guard a border town.
He had fifteen old soldiers under his command, and the treasury was emptier than a beggar's purse.
Three thousand Northern Yan cavalry were less than a hundred miles away and would arrive in three days.
Everyone thought he was doomed. Chu Yuan himself was packing to run for his life.
But at the critical moment, he awakened the [Absolute Money-Spending System].
Within his territory, every person earned Chu Yuan one tael of silver per day. The more people there were, the higher the multiplier!
Why surrender now?
I, Chu Yuan, swear I will never yield!
With his daily silver, he opened a blacksmith's shop to make farm tools and weapons, built kilns to fire bricks, repaired the city walls, and dug canals to bring in water!
He built schools and climbed the technology tree!
What barren border town?
This was a priceless treasure trove!
What, just defend the city?
I'm marching north!
And so...
While the common people thought the nation was doomed and chaos would consume the land...
While the Northern Yan army believed it would sweep through the Central Plains and claim the throne...
A new banner slowly rose over Qinghao City.
An iron tide of steam and gunpowder surged forth from Qinghao City, sweeping across the troubled age!
