In the cold winter of 1854, the small workshop in Genoa was on the verge of bankruptcy.
A mechanical engineer disguised himself as a fatherless military cadet, faced with a mountain of burlap, predatory loan sharks, and a mother with swollen eyes.
He grabbed a piece of war news from The Times and gambled his family's lives:

After being punched awake, Morin found himself a prisoner of war. He'd imagined a world reminiscent of the eve of World War I, but the reality was far worse. And why, even a soldier of the Empire, was he an ally of the International Brigade volunteers? The tin-canned assault troopers wielding swords and shields, the armored knights powered by a hybrid of diesel and magic, and the accompanying mages...all of this told Morin that there was something wrong with this world, and it was a big one. But his priority now was how to survive this war, the one that was supposed to "end all wars." Elements of this book: a magical retelling of World War I, the true man's role as a tyrant, diesel armored knights, airship boarding...
(The sequel, "Li Shimin Troubled by His Brother's Sorrow," has already begun.) Agronomy professor Zhu Xiang travels back in time to become a commoner in the State of Zhao during the chaotic Warring States period. His life finally improves. His eldest sister, having run off with a wealthy merchant, takes all the family's valuables and leaves him with their nephew, claiming she's having an affair with another wealthy merchant and can't raise the child. Furious, Zhu Xiang is about to give the child away for adoption, but learns the child's name is Zheng, and his father is Yiren, the grandson of the Qin king. Zhu Xiang is bewildered. "My nephew is Ying Zheng? But my sister's name isn't Zhao Ji, it's Chunhua!" Determined to prevent the First Emperor from disappearing from history, Zhu Xiang decides to grit his teeth and tighten his belt to raise his child. With a ding, the cheat code "Farming System" is launched, allowing you to exchange your friendship with historical figures for improved seeds. Zhu Xiang, tears streaming down his face, kissed the son of the First Emperor on the forehead: "You are indeed the son of the First Emperor! You are truly amazing! Look at your uncle cultivating a vast empire for you!" Long later, as Qin Shi Huang took a nap amidst his desk, he could still dream of that childhood scene. His uncle held his small hand as they walked along the long ridges of the fields, pointing to the golden fields reaching to the sky. "Zheng, your uncle has a dream: to plant high-quality seeds in all the lands illuminated by the sun and moon, so that all the people of Guizhou can have enough to eat." "Uncle, Zheng, take all the lands illuminated by the sun and moon and let your uncle farm, okay?" "Ah? Hahahaha, sure." His uncle let him sit on his shoulders, laughing. "Wherever Zheng's territory expands, your uncle's fields will be planted there." His large hand clasped the small one. "A promise is a promise." — Notes — 1. This story is written in a popular style, featuring many modern words. The characters' addresses and dialogues do not follow pre-Qin conventions (for example, "you and I" is used instead of "you and me"). This is a heartwarming, group-loving, and relaxing story about farming. 2. To meet the needs of the plot, the characters and major events have been slightly adjusted.

The elder brother, Li Shimin, was a strong and skilled martial artist, while the younger brother, Li Xuanba, had been taking medicine since birth. People at the time claimed that the twins had a miraculous telepathy. Li Shimin, the second son of the Duke of Tang, confirmed the rumors. After being repeatedly shocked by Li Xuanba's shocking inner thoughts, his face turning pale, Li Shimin consulted with his twin brother. "Xuan, do you know that if you concentrate even a little, I can hear what you're saying? Can you please stop concentrating? I don't want to hear it." Li Xuanba, the frail and renowned young man, said, "I won't. If you're dissatisfied, say it." Li Shimin, who was physically healthy but lacked Li Xuanba's mental strength, exerted all his strength, his face turning purple, before finally uttering a single word. [Ah! ! ! !] Li Xuanba nearly fainted from laughter. In his previous life, Li Xuanba was the editor of a historical marketing account specifically targeting Li Shimin for publicity. One day, he died suddenly from staying up all night. He was reborn as Li Shimin's sickly twin brother, who was portrayed as the brave Xiang Yu in Li Shimin's novel, but who actually died at the age of sixteen. Li Xuanba: Oh no, karma. Li Xuanba: Forget it, I'm just giving up. Li Xuanba: Brother, I'll tell you whatever spoilers you want! Li Shimin frowned: "I don't want to hear anything!!" Years later, Li Shimin donned the dragon robe, his hands stained with blood. Li Xuanba was still sick, but still alive. One day, after scolding Wei Zheng, Li Xuanba fell to the ground and pretended to faint. Li Shimin, just like when they were children, picked up his brother and ran away. [Hahaha, brother, didn't you see how distorted Wei Zheng's face was!] [Shut up!] [Congratulations, brother, you can finally say two words, hehe.] Li Shimin once again showed a headache, carrying his troublesome brother on his back, step by step forward. Note: This article is based on official history. Emperor Yang of Sui and Li Jiancheng were not forgotten emperors. There were palace intrigues, fratricide, and fratricide between brothers and fathers. It's just that at every step of Li Shimin's life, there was always Li Xuanba nagging him. If you don't agree, please don't read. Don't argue with me. Please choose the author you like. Theme: I wish for all people to have enough food and clothing, and I want peace and prosperity for all.
