Mingye Changfeng

In the early years of Chongzhen, a great drought struck the land, leaving no harvest. Lin Yue transmigrates into the lowest stratum of late Ming society—a poor commoner with no food at home, a critically ill mother, and a younger sister nearly sold to pay debts. With no family background, no backing, and no cheat codes, he relies on his modern grassroots governance skills to carve a way out of desperate straits. He improves farming to solve the food crisis; gathers refugees to build a team; outwits corrupt gentry to clean up grassroots corruption; and leverages others to topple local interest groups. He does not cling to the powerful, does not take sides, and is no saint—he believes only one principle: when the people cannot survive, someone must take charge of this world. From villages to counties, from counties to the court, he breaks through each obstacle and slaps faces at every level. Corrupt officials hate him, powerful gentry fear him, and the common people trust him. A commoner, seeking no fame, only to protect those who should be protected and guard the land that should be guarded in this chaotic world. The Ming dynasty is about to fall, and the wind rises from the wild. He steps forward. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Mingye Changfeng — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
