Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants all belong to the common people who are "given appropriate occupations according to their abilities." The ruler should give people from all social strata appropriate "trades" to settle down and seek prosperity.

Greetings, mighty Lords!
Numerous trades contend for attention, surrounded and watched by legends. In the last previews, we had a look at the brand-new All Trades' Contention season. Its registration will soon be open in the Preparation Area, and we are sure all of you are eager to experience the thrilling historical battles that will unfold. Before that, let's first take a peek at the series of "All Trades' Contention" events.
The following features will be available throughout the season:
New Heroes Ding Feng and Cheng Yu
Ding Feng, a crucial general of Wu. Of humble birth, he started out as a junior officer in the ranks. He later joined famous generals such as Gan Ning, Lu Xun, and Pan Zhang in campaigns; displaying valor in battle, leading troops with bravery, and achieving numerous military successes, eventually rising to the rank of Deputy General. Ding Feng, exceptionally brave and valiant, repeatedly distinguished himself in military exploits, earning a prominent position in Eastern Wu. Throughout his life spent waging war, he served four monarchs of Wu, from Sun Quan to Sun Hao, and witnessed the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms period.
Cheng Yu, an advisor of Cao Wei from the late Eastern Han to the Three Kingdoms period. Originally named Cheng Li, he changed his name to Cheng Yu after dreaming of holding up the sun at Mt. Tai. In the third year of Chuping, he was appointed Magistrate of Shouzhang by Cao Cao, where he began offering counseling and strategizing. When Cao Cao campaigned against Xuzhou, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu remained behind to guard the rear, repelling the forces of Lu Bu and Chen Gong, and successfully defending three cities. For this achievement, Cheng Yu was granted the title of Marquis of Dongping. Cheng Yu was skilled in strategy, possessing both wisdom and boldness. He often accurately assessed situations and once advised Cao Cao against sending his family to Yuan Shao. After the situation in the Central Plains stabilized, he voluntarily relinquished his military authority and secluded himself, refusing to entertain guests. After his death, Cheng Yu was given the posthumous name "Marquis Su."
