I transmigrated to ancient times and became a king with a title equal to mine.

Although Long Bin was born into an official family in his previous life, he grew up in the countryside and has a deep affection for rural areas, agriculture, and farmers.

He looked at the Yellow River floodplains and saw that millions of acres of fertile land had been abandoned. He asked the governor, Gu Dingping, who was beside him, "Don't you grow crops here in winter?"

Gu Dingping bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the people here go south to beg for food every autumn, and no one has planted winter crops for many years."

Long Bin recalled that when he was a child, he often saw beggars from Henan Province. It turned out that they had been begging for food for more than two thousand years.

Long Bin's heart sank suddenly, deeply feeling the weight of his responsibility.

If there were a way to make a living, who would want to drag their family along and beg for food?

Local officials have all returned to their jurisdictions, but Long Bin is still standing on the dike, thinking about how to help the people settle down and make a living, so they no longer have to beg for food in the frozen wilderness.

The guards and officers who were waiting at a distance were filled with awe and respect when they saw how much the King of the South cared for his people.

Long Bin came up with many ideas, but he rejected them all because they were technologies from 2,400 years ago, and it was impractical to use them in ancient times.

In his previous life, he was not only well-read and knowledgeable in history, but also a passionate reader of online literature.

"Many transmigrators have system support, why don't I have one this time?"

"If I had a system, I could use a time tunnel to buy winter crop seeds."

"If we plant wheat now, we will have a good harvest next year."

Just as he was indulging in unrealistic thoughts, a sudden "ding" sounded deep within his mind, followed by a beautiful woman's voice: "Your heart for the people has activated the Transmigration System. You can now access the system's shop to purchase daily necessities from your previous life."

"What?" Long Bin was startled: My wish has come true?

"King Nan, don't scare yourself like that. Your concern for the people's suffering is truly moving. Hurry up and enter the system, and carefully learn and understand the system requirements and operating methods."

Long Bin returned to the central command tent, had a simple dinner, and convened a meeting of the front lines in southern Henan. In addition to arranging defenses and training troops, he emphasized military discipline, stressing that harassing or harming the people was strictly prohibited. He also instructed the troops to do their best to help farmers in the villages to carry out winter plowing.

He was to return to Lishui City overnight. Before leaving, he told Song Zhonglin and the others, "We are an army that strives for the happiness of the people. Everything we do is for the sake of the Great Xia Dynasty, for peace, and for the people to live in peace and happiness. Spread the word that this is the founding principle and moral bottom line of the Southern Army."

Long Bin sat cross-legged on the carriage, closing his eyes and silently reciting the "system" specifications that appeared in his mind.

When he saw that buying seeds required points, he thought to himself with a wry smile, "Everyone does it this way, can't they come up with something new?"

At that moment, the system chimed, and a beautiful female voice reappeared: "Please log in to the system using your nickname from your previous life."

Long Bin felt a tremor in his heart. He had dreamt of people and events from his past life countless times.

After calming himself down and following the system guide, he completed the registration of his nickname and shipping address, and finally logged into the transmigration system.

This system is divided into two main parts.

Firstly: the sections on literature, martial arts, medicine, and encyclopedias;

Secondly: the system store. Access to the store is divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Each level has access to different products.

As a novice transmigrator, Long Bin only has basic permissions, which allow him to exchange goods within the civilian area.

Each item can be redeemed using points.

Each person's points are earned based on the value of their actual work.

"Congratulations, Tian Sha Kuang Long! Welcome to become a junior member of this store."

"Congratulations, Tian Sha Kuang Long, you have received 3000 points for your first login to the store."

"Congratulations, Heavenly Dragon! Your Red Cannon technology is 2,300 years ahead of its time. You have earned points."

……

With a series of jingling sounds, the points in the mall suddenly reached 11.

Long Bin immediately perked up and ordered 5,000 jin of wheat and 2,000 jin of rapeseed seeds from the online store.

Wheat has a long history of cultivation in Daxia, but the yield of wheat in ancient times was very low, only a little over 100 jin per mu. He bought an excellent hybrid variety from his previous life in the system's store, which yielded 1,000 jin per mu.

He decided to have his troops clear land and sow seeds on the riverbanks east of Lishui City. These seeds would yield a good harvest next year, enough to plant tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of acres. After three years, the food problem for the people of Lishui County would be solved, and the army's provisions would also be secured.

If hundreds of thousands of acres of wheat in the Yellow River floodplains yield a bumper harvest, will anyone still be begging for food?

Long Bin returned to Lishui City and immediately led his officers to the riverbank.

He repeatedly explained to the officers and soldiers that in order to prevent Lishui County from being bullied by outsiders, it was necessary to expand the army and prepare for war.

Expanding the military should not be a waste of resources and manpower.

Our people are suffering; many go hungry every day. In the Yellow River floodplains and Huai River basin, many people have left their homes to beg for food.

Therefore, the army of Lishui County did not compete with the people for food.

Instead, we should cultivate the newest and most advanced seeds to support the people's production, ensuring they have food and enough to eat. My ideal is to enable the people under my rule to live a comfortable life.

Therefore, the army cleared land to grow grain and became self-sufficient.

Next, our military can also engage in business, and the military can support itself.

The Southern King's deep love for the people deeply moved the officers and soldiers.

Following the instructions of the Southern King, the army and civil and military officials all went to the riverbank to build dikes, reclaim wasteland, and plant wheat.

He brought his past life's experiences to the military reclamation site.

Twenty thousand people worked for a month, turning 45 miles of riverbank into more than 50,000 mu of fertile land. There were still more than 1,000 jin of wheat seeds left. The magistrate of Wujiang County personally mobilized the farmers to sow the seeds.

The troops stationed in the mountains reclaimed more than 10,000 mu of land at the foot of Nanlong Mountain and planted rapeseed there. This was something new; it didn't exist in this world.

The seeds that Long Bin introduced were edible seedlings, in order to prevent winter famine.

In the process of vigorously promoting military reclamation, Long Bin repeatedly emphasized that whoever planted the crops should manage them, and the government should buy all the harvested crops with money, with the profits going to the army for welfare. This greatly improved the production enthusiasm of officers and soldiers.

After arranging field management affairs, Long Bin began to plan a five-year plan for the Lishui County area.

To better advance this important undertaking, he established the Grand Minister of Agriculture, who was in charge of agricultural affairs. He appointed Lü Yong, who had recently surrendered, as the Grand Minister of Agriculture, a fourth-rank official, and also granted him the position of Guerrilla General.

A fourth-rank official is a very high-ranking official; a prefect is a fifth-rank official, or a fourth-rank official.

Long Bin and Lü Yong had a heart-to-heart talk for three days and two nights, with Long Bin sharing all the ideas and concepts he could.

Lü Yong is a military civil official and a vice minister who accompanies the crown prince in his studies at the Crown Prince's Academy in Dongjiang Kingdom. He is a very capable and competent young man.

To prevent his seventh son from being harmed, King Long Yunfu bestowed upon his seventh son, Long Yingshan, the title of Prince of Lingjiang before taking a break.

fiefdom: Yangzhou.

It also governs Jeju Island.

Yangzhou was upgraded to a prefecture, governing eight counties including Haiyang and Jiangdu, extending all the way to the East China Sea. Lingjiang King Long Yingshan was appointed as the prefect and grand commander.

From then on, Yangzhou was no longer under the jurisdiction of Lishui County.

With the Dragon King bestowing the title of seventh son upon him, Lishui County no longer had to worry about threats from the east.

At the same time, this land, stretching from Jeju Island in the north to southern Henan in the west, from the coast in the east to the north bank of the lower reaches of the Jiupai River in the south, was directly connected to the territory that Lao Jiulongbin had fought for, which greatly enhanced the ability to defend against Dongjiang Kingdom's invasion and protected Lishui County.

"Wow, this Dragon King is indeed no ordinary man!" Emperor Xiang Lizong of Dongjiang Kingdom couldn't help but hang his head in dejection, and from then on gave up the idea of ​​invading the Great Xia in the north.
