Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Lan Tian smiled and said: "The Analects of Confucius textbooks of Meng Xuetang have been edited and annotated for several editions. Since everyone is not a saint but studies and educates people, we must allow different voices to appear. The so-called 'Threesomes, there must be my teacher, choose one Follow the good ones, and change the bad ones'."

Liu Xi nodded, "I can save it."

"Opening an academy is a long way to go. If you encounter any difficulties, tell me in time, and I will try my best to solve them for you." Lan Tian asked.

Liu Xi hesitated for a while, and finally said bluntly: "To annotate the ancient books selected by the Fujun, Jingwen, Deshu and I will go all out to ensure that there will be textbooks after the students are recruited next year, but the academy is indeed facing two problems now. "

"Sir, please speak."

"The first is the problem of the source of students. The dozen or so clerks of the academy have also met. It is okay to ask them to do some copying and writing. It may not be of great help to the future teaching of the academy. It is said that Jiang Gongyan was born in Quanling Academy. Come, so I am worried that not all the children from Meng School in Cangwu counties can be sent to Guangzhou Academy;

The second is that there is still a shortage of talents in the academy, it would be great if the government can recruit talents from all over the world, of course we are located in Jiaozhou is really remote, famous people may not be willing to come..." Liu Xi shook his head and sighed.

After hearing this, Lan Tian suddenly smiled awkwardly. The people Jiang Wan assigned to the Guangzhou Academy were indeed a bit sloppy. Carve up, and the branch of the Yangtze River News also took away many people, and it is now in a desperate situation.

To use the later Internet buzzwords, there is really no drop.

This is also the purpose of Lantian's eagerness to develop the academy. If there is to be quality development of politics, economy, and military affairs, talents are the core component. In addition to the four books and five classics textbooks that are currently being prepared, Lantian also plans to train astronomy, geography, mathematics, and military affairs. Subjects, but the meal has to be eaten bite by bite.

"I think about the source of students in this way. The thousand-character prose and the Analects of Confucius taught by Meng Xuetang will be uniformly assessed by the counties at the end of the course. Based on the daily performance of the students, excellent, good, medium, average, and poor are given for the initial test. Then select excellent, good, and medium students to advance, and these promoted students will go through the academy's assessment again, and finally determine how the academy students are doing?" Lan Tian asked.

Liu Xi stroked his beard and nodded lightly: "After going through two assessments before and after, you will definitely be able to screen out the mediocre ones, but Fujun, you have worked so hard to run the school, how will those who have not been promoted in the first and final exams settle down?"

"You can go to Meng School again, but you have to take care of all the expenses yourself. If you really don't want to learn, you can go back to your hometown to farm, or go to Quanling School to learn a craft from a craftsman." Lan Tian replied seriously.

Liu Xi sighed and said, "If you still want to farm the land in the end, why don't you just stay in the countryside? It's a thankless task for the Lord..."

Lan Tian shook his head and smiled: "Sir, you can't say that. Being able to learn how to read and write in Meng Xuetang is already a big step forward. Is it better than the name of illiteracy?"

"It seems to be such a reason, then the second point is to seek talents for the academy..." Liu Xi hesitated to speak.

"Mr. Cheng Guo is at ease in studying, and I will find a way to find talents for the academy. Guangzhou Academy will definitely get better and better." Lan Tianxin said that I am familiar with attracting investment and attracting talents.

Liu Xi nodded in satisfaction, "Then I'm fine."

After a brief chat with Liu Xi, Lan Tian left the academy, and asked as soon as he walked out of the gate plateau: "It seems that Mr. Cheng Guo has recruited all the talented people in Jiaozhou. Could it be possible that Mr. Cheng can make something out of nothing?"

"If you take a long-term view, how can you be confined to Jiaozhou? Under the rule of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, there will be no scholars?" Lan Tian shook his head lightly.

"This..." Gao Yuan was speechless.

The two walked northward along the street. There was a small government office on the right side of the road for the Lingnan Newspaper. Lan Tian strode in directly.

Because the Lingnan Daily is positioned as a state-level newspaper, the number of scouts sent to various places to inquire about news is less than one-third of that of the Changjiang Daily. In addition to the existence of printing, there are only a few apprentices who copy and typesetting the newspaper.

Lan Tian asked a painter who was relatively free in the Lingnan Newspaper to paint the entire city of Guangzhou and the Guangzhou Academy in a relatively freehand way.

"What is freehand brushwork?" the painter scratched his head and asked.

Lan Tian asked back, "Do you know the feeling of hazy mountains and rivers?"

The painter nodded after listening to it, and Lan Tian continued to explain: "That is to express the truth while guiding the viewers to make boundless guesses. In short, it is to paint Guangzhou City and Guangzhou University as holy places in the world."

"I understand." The painter nodded in affirmation.

After staying at Lingnan Newspaper for a while, the entire cultural and educational area had nothing to do, so Lan Tian and Gao Yuan returned to the state pastoral mansion.

Before Lan Tian had time to return to the back house to visit his wife and children, Jiang Wan chased after him in a hurry, because the Lingnan Newspaper was the government office he was in charge of, and the news that he was alone looking for a painter to paint Guangzhou City was quickly conveyed to Jiang through the head of the Lingnan Newspaper. Wan.

"Gong Yan, you came so fast." Lan Tian greeted with a smile.

Jiang Wan bowed his hands and saluted, "I heard that the governor asked the painters to do things. I was afraid that he didn't understand what you meant, so I came here to ask clearly. What is the deep meaning of your paintings of Guangzhou City and Guangzhou Academy?"

Lan Tian nodded and explained: "Guangzhou is a newly built city, and people in the world don't know about it yet. Isn't it good to publicize it through painting now?"

"Your Majesty intends to spread it like a newspaper?" Jiang Wan guessed.

"Gong Yan can understand at one point, he is really smart and understanding." Lan Tian nodded in praise.

"May I ask how to do it specifically?" Jiang Wan asked humbly.

Lan Tian: "If the pictures are not too vivid, then supplement them with concise and beautiful words to bring out the climate, life, business atmosphere of Guangzhou City, and the academic environment of Guangzhou Academy."

"Fujun wants to attract people in this way? Yizhou and Jingzhou are both the territory of the lord. There is no problem, but the north where Cao Cao is located and the east of the river where Sun Quan is...they control the people extremely strictly, and it is basically impossible to escape to Jiaozhou... ..." Jiang Wan shook her head after finishing speaking.

Lan Tian chuckled: "The so-called man-made thing is to build a nest to attract the phoenix. Now that the phoenix nest has been built, it is natural to spend some time to publicize it. The painting and accompanying text are all entrusted to you. When the time comes, show me the first draft. Problem re-engraving."

"Wei." Jiang Wan bowed his hands and accepted the order.

While Jiang Wan was preparing the 'propaganda poster', Lan Tian was still thinking about how to recruit talents for the Guangzhou Academy. Donating houses, giving high salaries, and settling-in expenses were all routine operations. He planned to wait until the 'propaganda poster' was fermented, and then pass The Yangtze River News advertised and fully utilized the platform of the newspaper.

Chapter 437 Condolences

In the South China Sea in June, even wearing single clothes can't relieve the heat, and many people are already working shirtless.

The government offices in Guangzhou City did not have supporting trees, and officials could only hide in their rooms to cool off and work. On the contrary, the seedlings planted by the State Shepherd's Mansion seemed to be prepared for a rainy day.

Jiang Wan has already notified the government offices to select seeds in winter, and wait until next spring to fully start planting trees, otherwise Jiaozhou's midsummer will be really hard to bear.

The peach trees in the back garden of Lantian are verdant and green, a few inches taller than the seedlings in the rice fields, but they need to be watered frequently because of the hot weather.

At this time, Lu Lingqi was pregnant, and would take a nap in the room at noon every day. Lan Tian went to the peach grove to water and prune the branches, artificially controlling the growth direction of the peach tree branches, and constantly improving the taste and yield of the fruit. This is his agronomy major. elective subjects within.

Lan Tian took the copper scissors and focused on shuttling among the seedlings.

Suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, and Lan Tian looked up and found that Gao Yuan was holding a letter.

"Who wrote the letter?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

"It's a letter from General Guan." Gao Yuan replied.

Lan Tian put down the scissors and walked out of the peach grove, wondering if something important happened in Jingzhou?General Guan seldom took the initiative to write letters to him. After all, there were very few "pen pals" between generals.

Guan Yu's letter only had a few dozen characters. It turned out that Zhang Ji had recently died of illness in Jiangling.

After reading the letter, Lan Tian felt dejected. The so-called doctor cannot heal himself, and no one can escape death.

He thought about it for a while and decided to take Jiang Wan with him, so he asked Gao Yuan to inform the other party, and agreed to leave for Jiangling tomorrow morning to meet the appointment, while he continued to prune and water the peach tree seedlings.

After cleaning up Taolin and Lantian, he stepped into the backyard and found Lan Ji playing with sticks alone in the yard. It was a set of stick skills that Lu Lingqi randomly taught last year.

Lan Tian saw that he played well, but his whole body was already soaked in sweat, so he asked curiously, "Why are you dancing sticks alone? Where did Yuan'er go?"

"Brother, he thinks it's hot at noon, and he seems to have gone back to his room to read the Analects." Lan Ji shook his head and said.

"Why don't you go back to the house to study? Both of you have to master the things learned in Meng Xuetang. It's not enough to memorize the thousand-character essay." Lan Tian said kindly.

Lan Ji pursed his lips and replied: "I'll go back to the room when I'm tired from practicing, otherwise it will be difficult to calm down..."

"The sun in summer is very hot, so you are prone to fever for a long time, Jier, you still have to control it." Lan Tian recalled that when he was a child, he played barefoot in the fields under the scorching sun, fishing for frogs, catching insects, shooting slingshots, and fishing and swimming in the river. Never had heat stroke.

Looking at the disapproving Lan Ji in front of him, he wondered if he cared too much?

"I..." Lan Ji stammered.

Lan Tian shook his head and interrupted: "Forget it, you can practice if you want."

"Father is still enlightened." Lan Ji was overjoyed.

Lu Lingqi had already woken up from a nap at this time, and the two maids fanned her to give her a cool breeze. It is very difficult for a woman to be pregnant in summer, because it is so hot that she easily feels tired.

"Husband doesn't look right, did something happen?" Lan Tian returned to the room, Lu Lingqi asked curiously.

Lan Tian sighed: "Mr. Zhongjing has passed away, life is really impermanent..."

"When we first arrived in Jingnan, everyone was not acclimatized to the environment and was poisoned by mushrooms. Fortunately, Mr. Zhongjing was able to solve the problem, and my husband should go to Jiangling to express condolences." Lu Lingqi reminded.

Lan Tian nodded, "I'm planning to go to Jiangling with Jiang Gongyan tomorrow. If Xiao Jun feels unwell during the departure, I will ask Gao Yuan to invite Mr. Yuanhua."

"Husband, don't worry, this concubine is not the first child..." Lu Lingqi smiled.

At this time, Lan Ji in the yard hit the ground with a wooden stick, making a continuous thumping sound like a wooden fish.

Lu Lingqi shook her head and smiled wryly: "Ji'er's energy is so good, I was never able to toss around like this when I was young..."

Lan Tian responded with a smile: "If Xiaojun is as naughty as Jier, I'm afraid he would have torn down my grape trellis..."

"That's really not sure." Lu Lingqi giggled.

"Anyway, I'm going to Jiangling to express my condolences. Why don't I take Ji'er along the way and let General Guan teach him for half a year?" Lan Tian asked tentatively.

"Ji'er is only nine years old, isn't it too early? How about waiting until he is twelve or thirteen?" Lu Lingqi suggested.

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "According to the current momentum of these two brothers, twelve or thirteen years old can't be taller than me? This kid is not as quiet as Yuan'er. It's not a problem for him to play against the sun every day. Why don't he give it to Guan as soon as possible?" General education, besides, the climate in Jiangling is not so hot."

"Since my husband has already made up his mind, I will take him with me tomorrow, and I will go and pack his clothes." Lu Lingqi nodded.

"Let Yue'er and the others clean up, don't sweat all over the heat." Lan Tian instructed.

"Okay." Although Lu Lingqi agreed verbally, she sneaked over after a while.

Lan Ji was going to live in Jiangling for the first half of the year. In the evening, the whole family sat around for dinner. Lu Lingqi babbled for a long time. In short, she had to learn to take care of herself when she was away from home. Later, she asked Lan Tian to let General Guan take care of her. Qianlimu is worried.

At night, Lan Ji was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He was going to learn martial arts from the famous General Guan. That was not an opportunity for ordinary people.

"Brother, are you asleep?" Lan Ji asked excitedly.

A clear voice came from the next bed: "I'm asleep..."

Lan Ji was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself, is this called sleep?So he continued: "I'm going to Jiangling to learn martial arts from General Guan. Are you disappointed, brother? No one will play with you anymore..."

Lan Yuan said leisurely: "What do I have to lose? I can learn like my mother and Uncle Gao. I can read and write when you are not here. There are many ways to have fun."

"Well, anyway, we can meet again in half a year..." Lan Ji suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.

"Brother Ji..." Lan Yuan's call came from beside him.

Lan Ji: "Brother, what do you want to explain?"

Lan Yuan: "I heard that General Guan has an aloof personality, you have to be careful, don't suffer when you are alone in a foreign land..."

"Ah... got it..." Unknowingly, the corners of Lan Ji's eyes were wet.

Although the two brothers couldn't fall asleep, they closed their eyes silently for the whole night without talking. The air in the room was extremely dull, and the sound of low and irregular breathing kept coming and going.

After breakfast the next morning, Lan Yuan supported Lu Lingqi and sent Lan Tian and Lan Ji to the gate, where Jiang Wan and Gao Shun had long been waiting.

"Where is Ling Ming? Has he arrived yet?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

Lan Tian went to Jiangling to express his condolences to Zhang Zhongjing. He originally appointed Pang De to accompany him to visit his old master Ma Chao, but the man from Xiliang turned out to be so unpunctual.

Gao Shun quickly explained: "General Pang is prone to dizziness after a long time on the boat, I'd better go to Jiangling with my husband, and I will pass on the gift he gave to General Ma..."

Seeing Gao Shun staring at Lan Ji all the time, Lan Tian thought to himself that he was worried about this little guy and cut off Pang De's quota temporarily.

"Then let's go." Lan Tian didn't reveal it.

Chapter 438 Disposal of Relics

"Xiaojun take care, I'll be back in a few days." Lan Tian turned to bid farewell to Lu Lingqi.

Lu Lingqi stroked her lower abdomen with her left hand, waved her right hand and nodded smilingly: "Husband, go early and return early, the peach tree at home is still waiting for you to prune, and Ji'er, you must be obedient when you arrive in Jiangling."

"I know mother."

"I can save it, you can go back quickly." Lan Tian smiled slightly.

Following Lan Tian's example, Lan Ji waved to Lu Lingqi and Lan Yuan and said, "Mother, I'm leaving with my father. Brother, you have to take good care of your mother and yourself."

"Brother Ji, take care." Lan Yuan nodded lightly.

"Let's go, we're back for the Chinese New Year." Lan Tian pulled Lan Ji and turned to leave.

A group of people rode out of the city and went straight to Panyu Wharf. Gao Shun contacted Li Yi in advance to prepare a fast boat.

It was the second time that Lan Ji took a boat with Lan Tian alone, and he was less excited and more apprehensive.

Lan Tian and Jiang Wan discussed the assessment of Meng Xuetang in the cabin, while Gao Shun and Lan Ji sat on the bow of the boat to enjoy the scenery on both sides of Yushui.

To get rich, build roads first. After Lantian takes over the government and the state, regardless of military, economic, and people's livelihood considerations, all counties are required to spend a lot of effort on dredging rivers, and build wharves every fifty miles for passing ships to dock and personnel to rest and replenish. .

So Lan Ji saw all kinds of civilian ships along the way, because Lan Tian and the others were on a warship, and the rest of the civilian ships pulled aside far away to give way.

Gao Shun saw that Lan Ji was surprisingly quiet today, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ji'er, don't worry, General Guan is majestic, but for the sake of Mr., he shouldn't treat you too harshly, as long as you are open-minded and willing to learn." .”

"Uncle is not as scary as you say, I played with my father's beard last time when I went to Jiangxia with my father." Lan Ji didn't think so.

Gao Shun quickly reminded: "You were still young at that time, so you must not be like this in the past..."

"Okay." Lan Ji nodded.

Gao Shun glanced at the cabin, and then whispered to Lan Ji: "At that time, I will leave two guards for you. If Ji'er can't stay in Jiangling, let them send a letter back to Nanhai in time, and I will personally pick you up. Family."

"Will father agree?" Lan Ji asked wonderingly.
