It began serialization on Zongheng Chinese in December 2010 and concluded in February 2019, totaling roughly 7.3 million characters across 2,241 chapters. The protagonist is a modern young man, He Fang, who survives a plane crash and crosses a thousand years to become Han Gang, a boy from a poor family during the Xining era of the Northern Song. To protect his family and a modest, stable life, he starts out in the northwestern frontier, takes part in the opening of the He-Huang region, and promotes medical and nursing systems in the army; he then passes the imperial examination, serves as magistrate of Baima County, and deals with refugees, grain transport, and grain shortages in the capital against the backdrop of Wang Anshi's reforms; later he oversees the weapons bureau, drives craft and technological innovation, and intervenes in several court crises to stabilize the political situation, rising step by step to the position of regent. Built on the framework of Northern Song officialdom, military institutions, finance, and social customs, the book weaves the old-new factional strife, frontier wars, and literati life into its story and is regarded as one of the representative works of the "research-heavy" Song time-travel genre. This volume is Volume 6 of the series, containing one corresponding segment of the serialized content; please refer to the actual edition for the specific chapter divisions.
