Three Kingdoms: A Commoner from the Start, United Under One Banner

Also known as Observing the Tide. Three Kingdoms + strategy + longevity + alternate history + slow-burn farming and development. A traditional story, not a comedy. I transmigrate into the chaos at the end of the Han dynasty. I, Lin Yuan, don't practice martial arts or command troops. I do just one thing: observe the tide! Others see how many enemy troops there are. I see the invisible currents that determine a dynasty's rise and fall, and the fate of all living beings! Using Liu Bei's benevolence as my foundation, I forge an unprecedented path of farming and conquest! [Refugees] → Inspired by the “tide of benevolence” → [Farm troops] → Self-sufficient supplies, troop numbers up 300%! [Wasteland] → “New Plain Reforms” implemented → [Ten thousand mu of fertile fields] → Economic output up tenfold! [Fragmentary scrolls] → Analyzed by the “Hundred Crafts Workshop” → [Mohist mechanisms] → A defensive bulwark beyond its time! [Observe the tide] → [Guide the tide] → [Seize the tide] → [Create the tide]! My abilities evolve step by step, until the whole realm becomes my chessboard! Yuan Shao's “aristocratic tide”? I'll cut off its source and shake his very foundations! Cao Cao's “tyrannical tide”? I'll crush it openly and honorably with the “tide of the people”! Zhuge Liang can borrow the east wind? Sorry, I can create a tide out of thin air and make the wind obey me! From the Peach Garden oath, I planned a path to greatness for all three of my elder brothers! The so-called Mandate of Heaven is nothing but a plaything in my hands! In this life, I'll make the sun and moon shine on a whole new world!
