Lin Yan, a modern young man, traveled through the Dajing Dynasty and became a down-and-out scholar in a small border county.
At the beginning, the government forced marriages, and everyone else chose women who could work. In the end, there were only three beautiful but "useless" women who no one dared to marry.
A sick and weak doctor girl, a business girl with an injured hand, a cold and lonely girl.
Lin Yan was soft-hearted and married Quan.
But it is easy to get a wife, but difficult to raise a family. As soon as the three ladies came in, the county government informed him: next year the grain tax will be doubled several times, and if they can't pay it, the fields, houses, and people will be confiscated!
The whole village was waiting to see his family destroyed.
Lin Yan didn't panic.
He relied on modern knowledge to improve farm tools, compost to increase yields, make soap, brew sugar, and open workshops, step by step from a poor scholar to the richest man in Qingshan County.
However, he soon discovered that his third wife was actually the young princess of the dynasty.
The emperor was furious and summoned him to Beijing.
From then on, Lin Yan was involved in the court situation.
The emperor tested him, the aristocratic family suppressed him, the prince was afraid of him, and Beidi wanted to kill him.
Lin Yan started out as a grain and grass officer, organized the army to prepare for war, made clever plans to defeat the enemy, controlled floods and provided disaster relief, put down rebellions, and eventually became the first person under the emperor.
But when everyone thought he would seize the throne, he took several ladies to retreat to the mountains and forests.
Jiangshan is very good.
But there were people at home waiting for him to eat.
