Chapter 511 Find a new way
Tian Ze is not a philanthropist.

Not everyone deserves Tian Ze’s support and help.

You must have enough ability or potential to be qualified to be noticed by Tian Ze.

Now Tian Ze has seven candidates in his mind who are qualified to go out, not more, not less, just right.

Any more would not be appropriate.

Too much dispersed force will be unable to fight against a strong enemy.

Shi Xie obviously didn’t have the qualifications to challenge Tian Ze, so he didn’t get the admission ticket.

Tian Ze has already determined the direction of the future, and everyone in the world knows it very well.

Shi Xie must find someone with an admission ticket before he can move on.

However, if he approached him like this now, it would obviously cause trouble for Tian Ze.

Shi Xie was caught in a dilemma and felt helpless.

At this time, Sun Quan came forward, which was undoubtedly a life-saving straw for Shi Xie.

Joining Sun Ce would be asking for trouble, but joining Sun Quan would be no problem at all.

As early as when he left Jiangdong, Sun Quan clearly stated that he had “escaped” from Jiangdong. Under the order of Tian Ze, he went south to the southeast and broke off completely with Sun Ce.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see the trick, Tian Ze and Sun Ce, the two main people, have acquiesced, so what else can be said?
By joining Sun Quan, even if it was just cooperation, both problems would be solved, and at least a way out would be left. Sun Quan’s letter was a golden ticket to immunity from death.

The man was in love with the woman and she was willing to help him. In addition, Sun Quan was very capable of handling affairs, so he easily took away 500,000 people and gained the full support of Shi Xie.

When Sun Ce and the princes of the world learned of this, they were all moved.

Tian Chengshou, indeed, has a sharp eye!

Sun Zhongmou is truly a character!

Be able to make the most of the only cards in your hand.

Able to quickly clarify and balance the interests of all parties.

Able to keenly perceive Shi Xie’s predicament and demands.

There are only a few people in the world who can do all three of these things at the same time.

Just these two short things made the people of the world see Sun Quan’s ability. This is something that many people would never think of, let alone do, but Sun Quan solved it with ease.

After Sun Quan handed over the population to Liu Fan without hesitation, the Jiangdong aristocratic families and Shi Xie’s clan no longer had any hesitation about Sun Quan. They were completely loyal and determined to follow him to build something great.

He has such ability before he even reached adulthood. His potential is no less than Sun Ce’s, and he is extremely suitable for the current situation and the appetite of the aristocratic families!

The aristocratic families and powerful people also have their own interests to pursue, but now that the rules have been changed, even if Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan and other princes do not abide by the rules, they have to accept it.

The appearance of Sun Quan, an outlier, undoubtedly attracted their attention.

He is not as autocratic and unreasonable as Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan, nor as moderate and stable as Liu Fan, nor does he have the extreme desire for control like Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others who want to emulate Tian Ze.

Sun Quan was capable, strategic, politically savvy, and good at compromise.

He is simply the perfect lord in the eyes of the aristocratic families!
A lord who is willing to rule the world together with the noble and powerful families!

For a time, not only the Jiangdong families, but families from all over the world turned their attention to Sun Quan.

Such good seedlings are hard to find!

They couldn’t afford to offend Tian Chengshou, and they couldn’t change the princes chosen by Tian Chengshou. Now there was finally a glimmer of hope.

At one time, a lot of resources began to secretly flow to Sun Quan. Although not a lot, but the amount is huge! There are resources from all over the world.

This kind of high-quality stock is something that every wealthy family would want to invest in at the beginning, since there are many branches and it is a good deal.

And this was also within Sun Quan’s expectations.

If you want to become strong quickly and accomplish the feat of swallowing an elephant, you must be thick-skinned and ruthless, you must get something for nothing, you must find a new way and engage in differentiated competition.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

The most powerful force in the world is undoubtedly Da Qi, but the second place is still the class of aristocratic families.

Even if Tian Ze led various princes to continuously suppress and reform the aristocratic families, without decades of accumulation, he would not be able to change the current situation.

Tian Ze once thought that the problem of management talent could be quickly alleviated by popularizing paper and books.

But to this day, the middle and upper classes of Da Qi are still mainly composed of people from aristocratic and powerful families.

The reason is simple, excellent!

Influenced since childhood and surrounded by many mentors and helpful friends, these scholars who come from aristocratic families have insights and comprehensive qualities that ordinary people cannot catch up with with the resources provided by Tian Ze.

Of course, this does not apply to very few gifted people.

Because you work hard, others also work hard; because you are smart, others also are smart.

The starting points are different. Even if they learn the same content, the children of aristocratic families can comprehend and extend far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

The aristocratic and powerful families of this era are not completely corrupt; they just went astray and put their minds in the wrong place.

Which family doesn’t have a few outstanding heroes? Not to mention Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Lu Xun, there are talented people everywhere in a state or a county.

Besides, when it comes to local governance, it depends on both ability and resources.

When resources are equal, everyone does similar things and it is difficult to find obvious differences. In this case, who will be promoted?

It must be someone who is close to you, helpful to you or has someone behind you.

This is human nature, and even Tian Ze cannot change it.

Because there is nothing wrong with this. They all did about the same thing. It’s just that you did better in this area and he did better in that area. How do you define who is better than who? How do you define the injustice in this?
Unless the gap between the two sides is too big, there are very few who are particularly outstanding.

But how can we achieve outstanding achievements and advance development in this era?
At the county level, hard work and diligence are no longer enough; one person cannot handle all the tasks.

Either they have seized unique opportunities and possessed unique resources, or they have made extraordinary innovations or reforms.

The latter is extremely difficult, and the former is the most likely scenario.

And who is most likely to understand and seize opportunities in advance and get special resource support? Without a doubt.

Tian Ze was helpless, but this was indeed the reality.

Fairness is always relative.

The same is true for selecting talented people and appointing capable people to positions.

Even Tian Ze can only protect those with outstanding abilities to prevent them from being suppressed and hidden.

As for ordinary county officials and county magistrates, it all depends on their luck. If they can’t get out of this predicament, it only means that they are not good enough to enter Tian Ze’s eyes.

After all, excellence is multifaceted.

Isn’t it excellence to be able to do what others cannot do and solve problems that others cannot solve?
Even if he secretly used the power of his family, so what? It was still his ability.
