chapter 65: back to xiapi as his cultivation is called the art of war, there are two ways he can cultivate by practicing his martial arts and physic but also by reading military books with the utmost concentration to embed the energy they have toward his meridian which is what he will do tonight taking out the book of knowledge, lie fan began to read military strategies books from all over the world which can be found inside the book of knowledge as this can improve his cultivation also maybe compile all the knowledge and make a strategy that doesn't have a single loophole lie fan read all night, the knowledge turns into energy where it was absorbed by his meridians, and in turn, it became inner energy where it joined up together to breakthrough toward the last level of his cultivation sweat began to flow down from his head, and the knowledge that turned into energy began to grow rampant inside his meridians as he can feel that it wanted to breakthrough their thin barrier like a sea wave crashing towards rocks slowly eroding it feeling his body growing hotter by the minute he knew that he will breakthrough into the highest level of his cultivation any minute now, he uses his last willpower to force himself through to read the book when suddenly he can feel his body erupting like a volcano erupting feeling this he began to use a breathing exercise to control his body and meridian in containing the energy to strengthen his body and mind as he finally breakthrough to the last level of the art of war cultivation [congratulation host for achieving the highest level of your cultivation and completing the achievement 'attaining inner power', as a reward host will receive 500.000 exp, 200.000 sp, and 3 potions for each attribute except charm] lie fan: "finally i reach the maximum level of my cultivation! tzu can i buy historical cultivation to replace the art of war or do i need to buy a higher level cultivation then i can replace it?" sun tzu: "host needs to buy higher level cultivation as same level cultivation can't be replaced by the same rank as to stop extortion of its benefits" lie fan: " i see okay then is there any higher level cultivation i can buy with my sp?" sun tzu: " *searching* i'm sorry host but the cheapest mythical level cultivation is 4.000.000 sp" lie fan: " damn then i need to accomplish more quests and achievements, come on lie fan you can do it!" after encouraging himself, lie fan feels his body sticky thanks to the sweat and decided to take a bath first then he will end the night so he called for servants to prepare the bath where he clean himself up and then lay down on his bed to sleep 3 months passed by when lie fan is staying at huai'an to oversee the progress of the civilian tuntian system since it was implemented where when it was implemented the same time they planted new crops where they entered a new year and the year now is 185 ad lie fan in that time received his mask and helmet for his bodyguards which their immediate used with iron armor everywhere after it was given to them with 2 remaining for zhao hong and zhang mancheng who was on mission in qing province as for the tuntian system the refugees that were taken under the wings of the town were happy that they can contribute back to the protection and food that was given to them so using the last bits of wealth they have to buy the tools needed for them to farm and the one that doesn't have money was subsidized by lie shang administration and they will pay back using the crops that they will harvest the 10.000 former yellow turbans were also put under the military tuntian system and were put on the outskirts of the town as they can protect themselves from danger due to the training they receive and the experience from battle for the first month, there was some problem where some of the refugees doesn't understand how the crop rotation system works and do it the old ways fortunately it can still be recovered and turned into how it should be receiving that report, lie fan decided to go down the field alongside some of the staff from the agriculture department to educate the refugees on how to do the crop rotation system which made the people of huai'an respect lie fan more as he can get along with the common people and doesn't despise them with the status that lie fan have as for the 10.000 former yellow turbans have received education from lie fan and the staff beforehand so there's nothing wrong with the way they tended to the crops but a small group decided to run away but were captured and turned into prisoners forced to look after the crops when they reached harvest time, even though some of them failed but the crops they received as 'taxes' and 'payment' was more than what they received reasonably beforehand proving that the system works and is very effective as they managed to decrease the number of unemployed refugees and also the land that was abandoned by landowners was taken under the government seeing that it was very effective, lie fan decided to go back to xiapi and began to prepare to introduce the tuntian system on a large scale in xu province to boost its economic power and agriculture that was efficient also massive to support his army in the future lie shang agrees with lie fan's decision and told his page to relay his order to prepare some of the harvests for lie fan to bring back to xiapi as lie fan will station his main army there and he will need supplies to sustain his army lie fan is grateful that lie shang gives some of the harvests to him even though he comes up with this plan to enrich huai'an and xu province is his but huai'an is also in emergency need of supplies the day when lie fan is going back to xiapi has arrived and lie fan brings his army back with him alongside his retinue, lie shang says goodbye to lie fan and told him to inform him if he ever needed help lie fan promised and with that, he says goodbye to all of the people who were there to see him off including the refugees who were grateful to lie fan as they have given them new hope in life by giving them a job to sustain their families on the way back to xiapi, jia xu asks lie fan why don't they put lie shang as a governor of a big town such as langye or xiaopei which can ensure the loyalty of the administration to them lie fan: "while it is true that if we promised my father to become a governor of langye or xiaopei it will be easier to control either town, huai'an is a special place and with the development that's happening right now it will become a major town in the future and also have it's uniqueness" jia xu: "while it's true that it will become a major city and can play a vital role in xu province due to the development that my lord has made there, it will only become a port town for trading grains" lie fan: "that's where you're wrong master jia xu, huai'an is the only harbor town big enough in central xu province it will become a major trade-in of the north and south, also with the open sea it has we can train the navy army there without the watch full eyes of other people and make a navy base near huai'an for easier supply transport and no one will know" jia xu takes a deep thought and agrees with the conjecture that lie fan made as he knows the navy is an essential part of their future conquest in the future especially going south to the land of wu and jing provinces as both of that areas have a capable navy they spend 2 weeks on the road before reaching xiapi where they saw the army that was led by ze rong under lie fan's order stationed outside in a big army camp the soldiers are in there can be seen training ze rong who was supervising the army saw a big army heading their way and saw the flag that was risen was lie and han he immediately knew that his lord is back so he hurriedly left the camp to greet lie fan at the city gate lie fan's party reached the city gate and saw ze rong who was waiting for them there, ze rong greeted lie fan welcoming him back to xiapi, and reported that he have finished the order that he gave him lie fan praises ze rong and orders him to help huang zhong station the army and put the supplies they brought into the military granaries to be stored there safely after giving the order lie fan brought jia xu and his bodyguards with him to the governor's castle main hall where chen gui should be working right now as he wanted to know how xiapi developed after he leave chen gui at the castle was working on approving some documents and rejecting some that he thinks is unnecessary or bad when he was informed that lie fan is back and waiting for him at the main hall shocked by the news that lie fan is back, chen gui stop his work and hurriedly walked to the main hall to meet lie fan as his arrival was too sudden and no letter was sent to inform him that he will be back when chen gui arrived at the main hall, he saw his son chen deng was conversing with both lie fan and jia xu talking about some sort of a project to be done lie fan: "chen deng so what do you think of the civilian tuntian system that i and master jia xu made? and the improvement of the military tuntian system do you think we can implement it all across xu province?" chen deng: "of course my lord! with the result that you said of any evidence that it worked in your hometown, we can immediately carry out the project but the yield we have will not be as much as only xiapi and huai'an your hometown is using the crop rotation system" ______________________ name: lie fan title:
