The protagonist was born as a tenant farmer at the lowest level. During the disaster years, the landlord forced him to rent and his family was ruined. He cultivated wasteland to survive and studied hard in his spare time. He briefly became a village warrior and saw through the corruption of the armed forces in the mainland. He broke through the blockade of the gentry and passed the exam to obtain a child. He defended the newly opened wasteland on the river beach and saved the lives of his family. Era background (the third year of Yongjinghe Period, Jiangnan West Road, Jiangzhou): successive years of drought and poor grain harvests. The big landowner Zhou Shanren annexed most of the fertile land in the surrounding area, and the rent for tenant farmers was as high as 60%. In order to raise funds for the northern frontier, the imperial court levied additional taxes, which were levied layer by layer on the heads of tenant farmers. The subordinate officials, Baozheng and the squire colluded in the fish and meat village. To take the exam for a child, you must be married to a married woman, and it is difficult for a poor family to even reach the threshold of the exam. The guards in the interior and the warriors in the countryside are paid empty wages, and the soldiers are not as good as the bandits. In the north of Beijin, refugees spread everywhere.
