Chapter 107: 107. The Search Of Talent Begun
Lie Fan imdiately replaced his cultivation thod, saying goodbye to Sun Tzu's Art Of War that had accompanied him for so long with Ying Yang Separation. He then ate a cultivation pill and began to cultivate, Increasing his power is more important than his rest so he wants to increase his cultivation at least to level 1.
Yin Yang Separation is different from Sun Tzu's Art Of War, Sun Tzu's Art Of War absorbs energy from anything that has the essence of the military and war-related things. Yin-Yang Separation absorbs the energy of the world, taking it from Yin and Yang so he has to do Taichi Exercises. Fortunately, when he replaced his cultivation the knowledge of Taichi was ingrained in his mind.
He takes 1 cultivation pill and swallows it before he goes to his courtyard and begins to do Taichi. He began to concentrate, taking a deep breath to achieve tranquillity and peace of mind. When he does that, he can feel the world's energy rising and circling around him. It doesn't enter his body because his ridians aren't open without him doing the Taichi exercises.
After a couple of minutes passed by, He began to do taichi movent. He began to do slow intentional movents, which were gentle and different from the martial arts of this era which were aggressive. He rembered that Taichi in the future will be known for its benefit in ntal and physical health, and he was thinking that this could be spread across his domain in the future.
World energy began to enter the opened ridian in his body, Yin and Yang began to take hold in his center ridian and began to spin absorbing the energies. Thanks to the effect of the cultivation pills, the volu of the energy being absorbed increased and higher in quality. He feels that, if he does this for a couple of hours at least he can reach level 1.
Lie Fan doing Taichi in his courtyard was seen by Liu Pi and Bo Cai who were guarding his quarters entrance, They were waiting for He Yi and Gong Du to co and switch their shift. Lie Fan's unique movent intrigued them but seeing how serious Lie Fan was they didn't want to disturb him.
4 hours passed by, Gong Du and He Yi replaced Liu Pi and Bo Cai. Lie Fan can feel that he has reached a bottleneck and any minute now he can pierce through the layer and level up, but this layer resistance is very high which makes sweats pour out like he was taking a shower.
Lie Fan suddenly feels the Yin and Ying in his center ridian stop spinning, it shines so bright, and a pillar of light shoots out toward his mind. When the pillar of light enters his mind, it transfers massive energies from the brain to all of his body through the nerves.
Feeling the power coursing through his body, Lie Fan opened the attributes window and saw that he had reached level 1. He was happy that he finally reached level 1, doing the sa taichi movent over and over again is ntally exhausting but thanks to his high willpower he can push this through.
He also sees this as a test of his willpower and a way to temper his willpower, seeing that it's already evening Lie Fan takes a shower and changes to clean clothes. He then goes towards the dining room, he is very hungry after the cultivation and his body needs nutrition.
Everyone is already eating dinner when Lie Fan arrives at the dining room, actually Yu Yan orders a servant to call Lie Fan for dinner but she is inford that Lie Fan is training so Yu Yan and the others eat first. Fortunately, they just started eating so Lie Fan could join in and have dinner with his family, Diao Chan and Ying Yue served him so of his favorite foods.
Lie Fan always enjoys spending so ti with his family, especially the 2 won who will beco his wives in the future. He really wanted to have a marriage ceremony for the two of them, but there's always sothing to do before and now maybe he can slip in ti before Emperor Ling died.
After Dinner, Lie Fan enjoyed so quality ti with Diao Chan and Ying Yue, talking about nial things and sweet words to each other. Because of his cultivation, Lie Fan is very tired so he only be with them for a short ti and then go back to his quarters to sleep.
The next morning, Lie Fan eats breakfast alone and then accompanied by Liu Pi and Bo Cai goes to the Governor's Castle. Today every civil official under him will et him after a long trip he has into Luoyang. On the way there he heard people talking about the Hospital that he made, saying that the doctors there especially Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjin are divine doctors who can cure any illness.
Lie Fan was happy that the Hospital had bore results, After being done with civic duties he visited the hospital to et with Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjin as they would beco his tools to advance the dication of this era.
Arriving at the Governor's Castle, he was received by Chen Gui and Chen Deng. Chen Gui was happy that Lie Fan was finally back, he inford Lie Fan that everyone was waiting for him and a special guest was waiting for him.
Intrigued by this, Lie Fan entered the main hall where his advisors and subject waiting for him. Inside the main hall, there were Jia Xu, Xun You, Sun Qian, and the special guest Wang Lang who was helping the Chen Clan in doing administration for Xiapi.
Lie Fan: "Brother Wang Lang what a surprise! Why are you here?"
Wang Lang: "I have heard that Governor Lie Fan has co back to Xiapi, I co here to greet an old friend and also give respect to Governor Lie of course."
Lie Fan: "Haha! I heard that you helped Master Chen Gui and Brother Deng in doing administration, Thank you for helping them as the people I trust to handle Xiapi are only them."
Wang Lang: "It's a small matter, helping Master Chen Gui actually helped distracted from the matter of my master and I also learn many things from him that I haven't learned from my Master."
Lie Fan was pleased to see Wang Lang slowly integrated into his circle, it would not be long until he pledges his talent to him. Lie Fan ordered everyone to take a sit while he went and sat down at the main chair. First, he asked Chen Gui and Chen Deng to give their reports on Xiapi and Xu Province as a whole.
Xiapi and Xu Province as a whole have a collective increase in their Agriculture and Economy, with the Tuntian System already going perfectly and the newly introduced Water Wheel increasing the harvest of crops. The Crafting industry especially blacksmiths also has a big increase in their production thanks to the Water Wheel that helped them.
Crafted products and Crops enter the market faster and more abundant, reducing prices in the market as a whole and increasing the livelihood of the people. The rchants don't protest with the cheaper market prices than before as they actually have an increase in their revenue due to selling their product outside of Xu Province.
Slowly they are eradicating the Famine disaster in Xu Province and many people receive jobs to support their families reducing the cri rate, Xu Province especially Xiapi is slowly but surely growing to prosperity. Lie Fan hearing the reports praised Chen Gui, Chen Deng, and Wang Lang as they managed to make this happen.
Xu Province began to recover from the uprising, and Yellow Turbans' chance to rise again in Xu Province was lower each day. When the Warlord era starts, while everyone is having a headache with their territory he can with here deciding his move as everything is ready.
Jia Xu: "My Lord, what Master Chen Gui and the others have accomplished has helped you trendously but to keep this going you will need far more people than us."
Xun You: "What Master Jia Xu said is correct My Lord, My Lord needs to begin inviting talents that reside here in Xu Province and nearby provinces to pledge their allegiances to you."
Lie Fan: "What Master Jia Xu and Master Xun You saying are true, We need more talents to spread it equally across Xu Province to help Master Chen Gui. Actually, there is one person who we can ask if he is willing to serve . Brother Wang Lang, are you interested in working for ?"
Wang Lang: "?! Is Governor Lie Fan sure? I indeed helped Master Chen Gui and Brother Chen Deng but I just helped them supervise small administration matters."
Chen Gui: "Wang Lang, you don't have to humble yourself. It may be a small matter but thanks to your help and my son managed to focus on the larger task which benefits us now, Your help manages to keep us from being distracted doing another task, and you have done it in perfection!"
Wang Lang right now feeling happy and nervous, Lie Fan and Chen Gui's interests to him are a complint and a burden at the sa ti. He is afraid that in the end, he will disappoint Lie Fan and Chen Gui.
Lie Fan: "Brother Wang Lang, You don't need to be afraid of failure. Failure can be turned into a lesson and every talented person has felt the feeling of failure and turned it into a tempering machine to grow stronger and better."
Wang Lang: "Then Wang Lang have seen My Lord, I will serve My Lord to the best of my ability!"
Lie Fan: "Haha! Good Good, Bro- no Master Wang Lang's position will be the sa as Brother Chen Deng, you will help Master Chen Gui in overseeing Xiapi and Xu Province!"
Wang Lang: "Yes My Lord!"
Wang Lang for Lie Fan is just a mid-upper-class talent, what he truly values is the future generation of his clan. His son and granddaughter are also great talents that can be used, it can be said that he is buying one item and gets two for free.
Lie Fan then asks everyone, how can he spread the ssage that he is recruiting talented people without the Imperial Court and major political players knowing. Jia Xu told Lie Fan that he could use rumors and stories circling in the area, at least they can verify if it's true or not then they will try to recruit them.
Xun You agree with this, Maybe Sun Qian as Lie Fan's foreign advisor can be sent to recruit them. Sun Qian agreed with Xun You and volunteered himself to do that task, Lie Fan hearing this agreed with Xun You motion. Then Lie Fan asked a native of Xu Province such as Chen Gui and Chen Deng if they knew talented people or had heard about them in Xu Province.
Chen Gui: "I have soone I know My Lord, He doesn't reside in Xu Province but in Xuchang in Yan Province. He is also from the Chen Clan and can be considered a distant relative, his na is Chen Ji and from what I heard his son Chen Qun is also a genius, he was told can bring their clan to prosperity."
[AT: Wow I was shocked that the PS suddenly increased so many, I'm thankful for the support that everyone is giving and I hope that I can live up to it so your continuing support is repaid! ??]
