Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
"Wonderful! Absolutely brilliant! Your talent is comparable to that of Sun Tzu..."
Looking at the route map arranged by Li Ru, Tan Shihuai couldn't help but sincerely admire him, directly comparing Li Ru to Sun Tzu of the Spring and Autumn Period.
"You flatter me, Great Chief. I am but a humble scholar; how dare I compare myself to the Sage of War?"
Although Li Ru spoke very modestly, the joy in his eyes was obvious, giving people the feeling that he had finally met a kindred spirit.
Seeing Li Ru's appearance, Tan Shihuai secretly made a guess.
In his view, Li Ru must have been undervalued in Shefu, which prevented him from fully utilizing his talents. Now that he was here, he was able to showcase his abilities, which naturally made him extremely happy.
Afterwards, Tan Shihuai carefully put away the map, and then pulled Li Ru aside to ask for advice on strategies for stabilizing the country.
Li Ru answered Tan Shihuai's questions carefully and, in accordance with the Han Dynasty's management system, meticulously divided the grassland tribes.
For example, by emulating the household registration system of the Han Dynasty, statistics on the population, pastures, and livestock of herders could be compiled, which would allow for prediction of future developments and timely regulation.
Furthermore, following the urban model of the Han Dynasty, grasslands and water resources were specifically allocated to prevent arbitrary migration, and roads were built to connect them for unified scheduling and management.
Tan Shihuai carefully noted down the policies proposed by Li Ru, and looked at Li Ru with even more affection than he would at his own father.
He hadn't expected that Li Ru was not only unparalleled in strategy, but also so adept at domestic affairs.
Tan Shihuai knew that if he followed the policies set by Li Ru, his strength would grow to an unimaginable level in just a few years.
Of course, what Tan Shihuai didn't know was that, on the surface, Li Ru was scheming for him, but in reality, he was digging his grave.
Once he adopts the policies set forth by Li Ru, these tribes will be confined to one place, completely losing their nomadic mobility.
