Wang Bo, the number one scholar who won three prizes in a row, gave up the career that was easily available to him in the capital, went against the grain and asked for orders, and went to the wilderness of Canglan, which everyone avoided.
This place has millions of territories, is filled with yellow sand, the official system has collapsed, bandits are everywhere, and refugees are everywhere. In the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, it is a desperate situation of exile. Everyone in the government and the public was ridiculing him, waiting to see him ruined.
But Wang Bo knew that this wasteland, with melted snow-capped mountains, a thousand-mile basin and a world-class deep-water harbor, was a God-given foundation for achieving hegemony.
Since then, he has worked hard for the past twenty years and expanded the country against the odds.
We will develop water conservancy projects, dig canal networks, and transform desert land; we will cultivate hybrid rice to break the millennium food dilemma and make famine a thing of the past.
Opening up overseas trade, taking charge of the market of all countries, rolling silver flowing into Canglan, and one state's wealth surpassing that of the whole country.
Abandon the shackles of stereotyped writing, establish the Institute of Geosciences, recruit craftsmen from poor families, and cultivate practical talents in large numbers.
Blast furnace fires rose, electric lights cut through the night, trains galloped across the wilderness, and a complete modern industrial system rose from the ground. Breech-loading guns and steam-armored fleets came out one after another, and a new modern army shocked everyone.
Starting from 400,000 homeless people, resettling the refugees and building cities, step by step, we raised 20 million residents and built a super metropolis that is unparalleled in the world.
The Central Plains is still trapped in the old farming system, and foreign countries are still conducting cold wars. Canglan holds five major powers: food, commerce, technology, industry, and military.
After twenty years of gathering strength, the wilderness has transformed.
With the border land of a state, he created unparalleled achievements, and all nations bowed their heads to dominate the world.
