章 41: Chapter 41: The Original Wish

...

Competing with a group of renowned officials from the Han Dynasty who didn't understand economic circulation, Chen Xi was confident that he could turn all these officials into stepping stones, because no one in this era understood both the necessity and the destructive power of commerce.

Therefore, Chen Xi felt very confident. As long as nothing unexpected happened, with his help to recruit renowned generals and officials, slowly infuse his ideas, develop the economy, and accumulate strength, he might amass enough power to crush all the Feudal Lords before they even gained momentum.

From the very beginning, Chen Xi had established his position. He wouldn't go to the battlefield. His military strategies were purely theoretical, deskbound musings. Being a subpar Strategist relying on historical strategies might not be a problem, but actually going to battlefields, he would probably be even less capable than Zhao Kuo.
