Chapter 189: The Appearance of a Wise Leader While Li Ru was strolling in the Jixia Academy, Tian Ze was rushing over from the northeast plain without stopping. The development of the Northeast Plain is extremely difficult. The forests and swamps everywhere were still being cultivated very slowly even with millions of people and a large number of tools. Tian Ze has been in charge of the Northeast Plain for several months and his daily work is extremely busy. On the one hand, he had to use the soil-moistening technique to fertilize the wasteland, and on the other hand, he had to use the spiritual rain technique to absorb the moisture in the swamp and spread it into the surrounding fertile soil. On the other hand, we also need to assist in the layout of farmland and the design of drainage systems based on the conditions of the swamps, and improve the farming framework of the entire Northeast Plain. If the Northeast Plain can be fully developed, there will be nearly 1 billion mu of arable land. Such a large project cannot be completed overnight. But with a "Shennong" like Tian Ze who is familiar with the soil and water, we can avoid useless work, reduce the difficulty of reclamation by more than 80%, and greatly improve efficiency. Since the beginning of development, more than a year has passed, and nearly five million people have moved into the Northeast Plain. Now, more than 100 million acres of fertile land have been cleared, a speed that is astonishing. Moreover, due to the existence of soil moistening technology, these reclaimed lands can be cultivated in the same year, and the yield per mu is nearly twice that of ordinary land.
When the Youzhou noble families learned this, their eyes turned red. Originally according to their estimates, given the difficulty of reclamation in the Northeast Plain, it would be good if they could achieve an efficiency of one-fourth of the actual progress. They have already prepared for a protracted war. But I didn't expect surprises to come one after another. Who would have thought that Tian Ze had this ability! Why didn't you tell us earlier that you have this ability? We would have worshipped you long ago. I originally thought I was just going to make a fortune, but it turned out to be extremely wealthy. Suddenly, they became more popular, and the noble families in various states scrambled to cooperate with them. Ju Zheng felt a little regretful, as he had set the price too high. He should have kept more. When Tian Ze learned of Li Ru's arrival, he was just finishing up his plan, so his arrival was slightly delayed. When he hurriedly rushed to the Jixia Academy, Li Ru had already found a quiet room inside the academy, boiled some tea, and was waiting patiently. The moment he saw Tian Ze step into the room, Li Ru was slightly stunned. too young. Although Tian Ze is now in his early thirties, judging from his appearance and expression, he looks like a vibrant twenty-year-old young man. Optimistic and tenacious, this was the first impression Tian Ze left on Li Ru. When Tian Ze looked at Li Ru, who was thin and had a cold expression in front of him, he felt as if he was looking at an unfathomable pool. Li Ru's temperament is somewhat similar to Jia Xu's, but darker. In comparison, the fat Jia Xu is more easy-going. "Li Wenyu, nice to meet Envoy Tian." Li Ru stood up and bowed. "No gift." Tian Ze smiled slightly, walked straight over and sat opposite Li Ru. "Mr. Wenyou, I have long heard of your great name."
"When Ze was young, he traveled to Xiliang and wanted to invite you and Wenhe to work together for great things. Unfortunately, you had already been recruited by Dong Zhongying at that time, and you missed it. But it's not too late to meet you today." Tian Ze looked at Li Ru and couldn't help but sigh. "Really? That's really unfortunate for Ru." Li Ru's eyes darkened slightly when he heard that. He had to admit that he had made a mistake. Even if Tian Ze had found him in the past, he probably wouldn't be willing to go with her. Being too soft-hearted and lacking in strategy and tactics, he is not a wise leader. But his ability is so strong that all his shortcomings can be directly covered up, or even turned into advantages. The princes of the world still don't know how Tian Ze got his start and how he could become so rich. Over the past year or so, millions of people have moved to Tian Ze's side, and correspondingly, huge amounts of money and grain have been distributed throughout the world. The treasuries of many wealthy and powerful families in the south were filled with so many copper coins that they could no longer hold them, so they had to be expanded several times, causing prices to rise significantly everywhere. Li Ru once wondered whether Tian Ze could conjure money and food out of thin air. The money and grain he has spent now alone exceeds the tax revenue collected by the Han Dynasty in ten years. This is totally unscientific. If Li Ru had not personally counted and confiscated the money and grain accumulated by the Han court and the treasures in the imperial mausoleum to Chang'an, he would have suspected that Tian Ze had stolen Emperor Ling's inheritance. At first he wondered why Jia Xu was willing to serve such a mediocre person, but later he realized that it was Jia Xu's poor vision! With this ability, there is no need to judge the situation and act swiftly and decisively. As long as there are no problems in the overall strategy, you can just proceed step by step and you can succeed. What is the appearance of a wise leader? The face before you is the appearance of a wise leader. "There's nothing unfortunate about it. Perhaps this is the best outcome. It's not too late for us to meet now." Tian Ze said with a smile. His goal was too ambitious. So ambitious that even with so many wise and capable officials under his command, it was still not enough to achieve it. "Wenyou. The world is big and the future is long, and I am in urgent need of manpower under my command. Your talent is rare in the world. If you are willing to come, I will definitely make use of you." Tian Zeman said solemnly. Li Ru looked a little dazed when he heard this. He wanted to agree rationally, but when he thought of Lu Bu's silly grinning face before he left, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly and he shook his head. "never mind." "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Tian, but I already have a partner." Li Ru refused. "Lü Bu is not a wise leader. Wenyou, you should know the general situation. Why do you still want to assist him?" Tian Ze couldn't help but ask. "It is precisely because we know the general trend. So does it matter whether Fengxian is a wise leader?" Li Ru asked in return. Tian Ze was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "That's right, whether you are a wise leader or not, you will eventually fall into my hands." Hearing Tian Ze's seemingly joking words, Li Ru did not feel that he was arrogant at all. When one's strength is sufficient, this is confidence. "With you behind Fengxian in the future, what difference does it make whether I surrender to you or not?" Li Ru said. "You seem to have guessed what I am thinking." Tian Ze looked at Li Ru deeply and said in a deep voice. "It seems that I guessed right." Li Ru's face became slightly solemn, but his eyes were mixed with madness and excitement. "It's really a headache dealing with smart people like you. You seem to be able to guess whatever I'm thinking." Tian Ze said a little unhappily.
"Even if I guess one or two, won't I still be played around by you, my Lord? It's nothing more than knowing where you will go in the future." Li Ru sighed. "What a pity, a smart person like you actually fell into the hands of Lu Bu." "Although Fengxian is brave but not wise, he is good at leading troops. If you can really do what you plan, Fengxian will become your sharpest weapon." Li Ru said. "Not necessarily. There is another one. It is still unknown who is stronger between Lu Bu and him." "But with you here, I feel more at ease. I can give Lu Fengxian more pressure in the future." Hearing Tian Ze's words, Li Ru did not comment: "The premise is that you can defeat Fengxian and win the next battle." "Don't worry. I won't lose." Tian Ze said confidently. (End of this chapter)
