Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

As soon as Xu Shu entered the door, he was dragged back to the street by Lan Tian, ​​and the two wandered around in the central government area. The centralized administrative office area not only facilitates the people to handle affairs conveniently, but also facilitates the communication of the government office.

"I have something to ask you. The four main roads in the east, west, south, and north of Guangzhou City are named. The three roads in the east, west, and south are named, but the main road in the north is not named. Why?" Xu Shu was very puzzled.

"Of course I don't want to leave it blank, but unfortunately there is no suitable name." Lan Tian shook his head.

The main road in the east is called Wolong Street, the main road in the south is called Fengchu Street, and the main road in the west is called Xuanxiao Street. Only the main road in the north lacks a road number.

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Why should Ziyu be limited to a Taoist name? Could it be that other names can't be used? I think Xuande Avenue, Yunchang Avenue, and Yide Avenue can all be used..."

"That's called Yuanzhi Avenue?" Lan Tian asked following the other party's words.

Xu Shu shook his head, "That's impossible."

Lan Tian walked and thought, and suddenly he had an idea and said, "Yuanzhi, what do you think of Taoyuan Avenue? I think it is very meaningful for the three brothers of the lord to be sworn brothers in Taoyuan."

"Uh...that's true, Ziyu, you mentioned my lord, why don't we go for a walk around the Cultural and Educational District Court? This Guangzhou City will reserve a place for them?" Xu Shu asked.

"Yuan Zhi, you have seen that there are still many open spaces in the inner city, how can I short them?"

When Lan Tian shook his head and sighed, he found that they had reached the door of the Medical Department. No wonder Xu Shu wanted to leave with an excuse. This guy is very good at planning for a rainy day.

The two turned around and walked eastward. When they passed by the State Shepherd's Mansion, they found someone watching outside the door. Gao Yuan strode forward to drive him away, but found that it was an acquaintance, Wang Shi, the shopkeeper of Panyu Commercial Company.

Wang Shi was overjoyed to see Gao Yuan, and followed his direction to find Lantian. He walked forward with small steps and saluted: "Mo Min has seen Fu Jun..."

"So it's Shopkeeper Wang, why are you here?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

"Didn't your lord encourage maritime trade? I spent a lot of time buying ships and training sailors in the past two years, but the wind and waves on the sea are really strong, so I can only walk along the coastline to Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and other places. I really can't go too far." Far away, I..." Wang Shi hesitated to speak.

Lan Tian asked, "Could it be that shopkeeper Wang has lost money in maritime trade?"

Wang Shi shook his head and said, "Maritime trade has shipbuilding and labor costs, so it is not as profitable as those in Guangzhou City, but it is barely sufficient for food and clothing..."

Lan Tian frowned vigilantly, "The scale of trade in Guangzhou City is not small. This is just the commercial prosperity in front of us. In addition to Jiaozhou's rich products, the most fundamental thing is that Guangzhou's workshops can produce in batches. In order to make the trade area in the city more standardized, The transaction tax will start next year."

"Isn't it tax-free?" Wang Shi didn't believe it.

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "The prosperity of trade has made city management more difficult. I think other states and counties will levy taxes, right? Tax exemption is just a stopgap measure, but maritime trade will still be tax-free."

Wang Shi was overjoyed when he heard it, and he quickly explained: "Momin didn't intend to give up maritime trade, but I found a man-made ship that couldn't withstand the wind and waves. I heard that General Li was building a ship in Dongfang Bay. Can I pay for two? ship? That would allow us to sail farther."

"Of course, I have supported the Maritime Trade Association for a long time. I will explain this matter to General Li Yi. Tomorrow, you go to Dongdong Bay to meet him." Lan Tianxin said that you originally wanted to buy a ship, so naturally it was to increase finances. income.

"Thank you Majesty, the people of the end will not bother you." Wang Shi cupped his hands and saluted to retreat.

Lan Tian stretched out his hand and called out: "Be bold when you have a new ship. There are some small countries in the south of Jiuzhen. If it is convenient, bring me some food? I heard that the rice over there tastes good."

"Remember Mo Min."

Looking at the back of Wang Shi leaving, Lan Tianxin said to Shopkeeper Wang, you work hard, you are the man who is going to become One Piece, and Zhancheng Dao is still waiting for you.

Chapter 454 It's Worth the Risk

After encouraging Wang Shi to paint cakes, Lan Tian and Xu Shu continued eastward.

On the way, Xu Shu asked curiously: "Since ancient times, good lords have emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, because emphasizing commerce will harm the people and the foundation of the world. I was worried that Ziyu would open up trade in Guangzhou City, but I just mentioned that we need to pay attention to the trade class and beyond." Heavy taxes, this is the thoughtful Mr. Xuan Xiao, but why do you favor one over another?"

"The sea is very stormy and shipping is more dangerous. Only great profits will attract people to take risks." Lan Tian explained.

Xu Shu frowned: "Fang has become a tripartite force today. He should stick to the prefectures and counties to support the people. When the world changes, he will regain the Central Plains. Why does Ziyu seek overseas instead? Isn't this the opposite?"

Lan Tian stopped and continued to explain: "Although Jiaozhou is far away from the Central Plains, it has a mild climate. The warmer the temperature, the higher the yield of food crops, but the grain varieties in the region cannot give full play to their advantages, so I encourage maritime trade to seek new grain varieties abroad. "

"Haven't you been improving grain varieties? Judging from the situation in Jingnan these years, both the yield per mu and the income from taxation are far higher than before, as long as you stick to it and wait for the population to increase." Xu Shu is still puzzled.

"Corn seeds have been cultivated and improved for ten years. At present, they are relatively mature grains. Their yield, drought resistance, cold resistance, and resistance to diseases and insect pests are all good. However, there are many rivers and rainfall in the south. The main food is rice. Although I have also made some Years of trying, but it has not achieved the desired effect." Lan Tian shook his head.

Wild male sterile rice needs chance, and his hybrid rice method is too manpower-intensive. It can be planted in a small area in the experimental field for research, and it is impossible to promote it in a large scale among the people. The most convenient way at this stage is to get it back to Champa. Rice, but the current sea-going ship technology is not very mature, otherwise he can send a partial division to Linyi State (formerly Rinan County).

Rinan County is located in the southernmost part of Jiaozhou, because the place is located south of the Tropic of Cancer, around 16 degrees north latitude, and the sun shines from the north for nearly two months a year, and the sun’s shadow is in the south, so it is called "Rinan". It was established during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Because it is located in a tropical area, the main tribe in Rinan County is the dark-skinned Zhan people. Because of language barriers and different skin colors, they often rebel. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a rebellion broke out in Xianglin County in the southern part of Rinan County. The county magistrate claimed to be the king of Linyi.

After the founding of Linyi, it slowly eroded to the north, and the government of Rinan County was also forced to move north. Shi Xie’s father, Shi Ci, was the prefect of Rinan, but he failed to help the Han Dynasty take back his homeland. When Nanjiao Prefecture was separated, it has always maintained a foreign policy of no communication and no military deployment with Lin Yiguo.

After listening to the explanation, Xu Shu asked again: "Ziyu asked the trafficker to go to the south of Jiuzhen. Could it be that he was going to the Linyi merchant established by the rebels in Rinan County? Are you interested in the grain there?"

Lan Tian nodded, "The Zhan people in Linyi plant a kind of rice. It is not only high-yielding, early-maturing, and drought-tolerant, but also can be grown without choosing a place. It only takes more than [-] days from planting to harvesting, and it can be done up to three times a year. cooked."

"Fifty days? Three crops? If that's the case, with Ziyu's planting methods supplemented, the grain can be full of grain within two or three years." Xu Shu was quite surprised.

"That's the rumor, it needs to be verified." Lan Tian didn't dare to speak up.

Xu Shu affirmed: "It is rumored that the men and women in Linyi have deep eyes, high noses, and black fists. Both men and women are not ashamed to be naked, and they are very hostile to the Han people. I didn't expect such a species to live in a barren land. No wonder such a small population can often rebel. , it is more dangerous to trade there now, but it is worth the risk considering the benefits..."

"Whether you are willing to take risks is equal to the income. As long as there is an appropriate income, people will trade; if there is a [-]% income, merchants will appear in the trade; if there is [-]% income, the merchants will be active; if there is [-]% income. If there is [-]% of the profit, the merchants will dare to trample on all laws; if there is [-]% of the profit, the merchants will dare to commit any crime, even risking beheading." Lan Tian directly cited the theory of capitalism. argument.

Xu Shu was greatly shocked, "Ziyu is right, so businessmen, especially profiteers, are more hateful. Indulging in reckless behavior can easily shake the foundation of the country..."

Lan Tian nodded slightly: "But if there were no merchants walking, how could horses from the north, rice from the south, brocade from Xishu, and fish from the East China Sea all appear in the same place? The sword can kill or stop the spear, and the same medicine can Healing diseases can also kill people, so there is nothing absolute.

As long as we grasp the scale and guide it to be good, it is like all rivers returning to the Yangtze River and entering the sea, so that they will not flood their homes wantonly, and can irrigate the fertile fields on both sides of the river. "

"No wonder you want to use your own people to become wealthy businessmen. It turns out that for the convenience of controlling them, Hu Ke and Song Chen have indeed played a great role in promoting the Yangtze River News and spying on intelligence. Ziyu is not worried that they will be seduced by powerful talents and eventually become in the hands of others. A sharp blade?" Xu Shu asked worriedly.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "My lord's tent is mostly loyal people. Besides, the people I choose are all from poor backgrounds. They should have found their hearts in these years. How can wealth move their hearts? Juelu can't change their ambitions. This is the so-called Say it."

Xu Shu looked into the distance and sighed: "Just look at the Guangzhou city in front of you. It's really a gentle town in a troubled world. If the Lord can help the Han family in the future, I will suggest this as a model..."

"Let's go Yuanzhi, we will discuss the future." Lan Tian patted Xu Shu's back.

The two walked to the edge of the administrative area. They should have turned north to get closer to the other courtyard, but Lantian insisted on going east to Wolong Street. Xu Shuxin said that it would be fine as long as he didn't go to the medical department anyway.

Xu Shu's eyes twitched a couple of times as he passed by the Wenjiao District Medical Center, but Lan Tian swaggered forward.

The largest building in the Cultural and Educational District is the Guangzhou Academy. After two years of preparation and selection of students, it will officially "open for business" in the next year for five years of preaching and karma.

Xu Shu thought that Lan Tian was going to show him the academy, but he still glanced at him and passed by. Except for a construction site in front of him, the rest was a vast field covered with weeds.

"Ziyu, where are you taking me?" Xu Shu asked curiously.

"Let's go in here and take a look." Lan Tian pointed to the construction site next to him and walked in first.

Xu Shu followed closely into the wall, and found that the workers were busy, and there were already several houses built inside the wall, and Lan Tian was walking straight into the room.

There were several other people in the room besides Lantian, and there was a table the size of a sand table in the middle, on which were placed many construction drawings. Xu Shu saw that it was the current layout of the courtyard.

"Ziyu, the layout here is similar to the Guangzhou Academy. Do you want to build an academy?" Xu Shu has been to the Guangzhou Academy and is familiar with the layout of the building.

Chapter 455 I'm so jealous

Lan Tian looked at the blueprint and nodded without answering. The old man with white hair and childish face in the room brought a glass of water.

"Your Majesty, please use it." The old man handed the water to Lan Tian.

Lan Tian took a sip from the water glass, then gently placed it on the big table in front of him, and the old man turned around to pour water for Xu Shu again.

Xu Shu looked at it strangely, the old man might not be too young, why would he serve others on the construction site?It seems that he is still very familiar with Lan Tian.

When the old man came back with water and approached Xu Shu, he suddenly slipped on the soles of his feet and leaned forward, looking like he was about to fall.

"Be careful."

Seeing this, Xu Shu hurriedly stepped forward to block him, but the water in the cup splashed on Xu Shu's left sleeve during the collision, but fortunately, the other party used his strength to stand on one foot and did not fall to the ground.

The old man stood up straight and cupped his hands to confess: "The old man is rude... the old man is rude..."

Lan Tian frowned, and seemed to excuse the old man, "Why are you so careless? Quickly wipe it off with a cloth?"

"only."

"No need..." Xu Shu was about to refuse, but found that the old man seemed to be prepared, and then took out a dry cloth from his sleeve.

"Please forgive me..." After bowing to each other, the old man grabbed Xu Shu's wrist with his right hand, and wiped the patch on the sleeve of his robe with his left hand.

Seeing the old man's slow movements, Xu Shu said with some embarrassment: "Although it is winter, the weather in Guangzhou is warm. Let's go outside to dry it and we can do it. The old man should do his own business."

The old man glanced at Lan Tian, ​​Lan Tian nodded in agreement and said, "Then let's go now, and go to the other courtyard before it's still early to see if there is anything that needs improvement."

Xu Shu nodded to the old man, then followed Lan Tian out of the construction site.

"Is the Guangzhou Academy full of students? Why did Ziyu build another school?" Xu Shu asked curiously.

"Mr. Cheng Guo (Liu Xi) can only select more than a hundred people, and it is easy to accommodate [-] people with the scale of Guangzhou Academy." Lan Tian was a little proud.

"Then why..." Xu Shu was even more puzzled.

Lan Tian explained: "Papermaking and printing are very mature now, and there will be no obstacles to teaching books to be handed down to the world. Guangzhou Academy mainly teaches classics, literature and history, but Quanling Academy's craftsmen, agricultural subjects, and medical subjects can all be used. Establish an independent college and a school."

Xu Shu stroked his beard and said: "No wonder you named this area Wenjiao District. It seems that Ziyu has made up his mind to run a school. It is really suitable for Jiaozhou to have no aristocratic family obstructing it. Which department is the construction site just now?"

"That's the construction site of the medical school. Mr. Zhong Jing's "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and Mr. Hua Tuo's upcoming "Book of Qing Nang" need to be spread in a positive way." Lan Tian replied.

Xu Shu was taken aback when he heard the medical school, and always thought it was weird.

"The engraving and printing technique is indeed convenient and fast, but it also has obvious disadvantages. If there is a slight change, the entire page needs to be replaced. Printed books can be used repeatedly. It is particularly troublesome for the Yangtze River News, which changes its edition every month..." Xu Shu changed the subject .

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Just change the dead characters on the board into movable type. I have taught Jiang Gongyan the specific method. When the workshop here completes the improvement of movable type, I will send a movable type template to Jiangling."

"Movable type? Can it be used repeatedly? Ziyu's thinking is not as fast as other people's. If he can really make a movable type template, Ma Jichang can save a lot of carvers and wood." Xu Shu said happily.

Lan Tian nodded in embarrassment. Whether it was engraving or movable type, he took advantage of historical experience.

"Sir." Gao Yuan ran after him in small steps.

Just as Xu Shu noticed that Gao Yuan had left the team, he looked at the construction site behind and asked curiously, "What did General Gao do?"

"Uh... I ate too much in the morning, and I felt uncomfortable in my stomach, so I found a place where no one was around..." Gao Yuan replied, touching his chest.

Xu Shu held his breath and was full of doubts. He thought to himself, why are you covering your chest with abdominal discomfort?

Later, when visiting another hospital, Gao Yuan handed a note to Lan Tian, ​​and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xu is so secretive about medicine, I'm afraid he might not be willing to take this medicine. It's a pity that Mr. prepared one."

"Yuan to Xiao, leave the rest to Xu's mother, and it depends on God's will." Lan Tian shook his head slightly.

Although Xu Shu had been to Quanling, he had never had the chance to meet Hua Tuo. They didn’t know each other at the construction site just now. Xu Shu mistakenly thought that Hua Tuo was an ordinary old man, and Hua Tuo only knew that the person who came was a friend of Lantian’s taboo doctor. .

Hua Tuo practiced Wu Qin Xi all the year round, and even if he really lost his center of gravity, he could stand on his own as a golden rooster.

Xu Shu predicted that Lantian would take him to see Hua Tuo, but he didn't expect that Lantian predicted his prediction, and finally set up the bureau in the construction site, which was hard to guard against.

At the beginning of February in the 22nd year of Jian'an, the peach trees in Lantian's garden were in full bloom. Xu Shu's mother and son were about to leave for Jiangling. They lived in Guangzhou for two months, and it was time to return to Jiangling to handle military affairs.

Before leaving, Xu Shu asked Lan Ji, "Zhongling, do you want to go back to Jiangling with me?"

Lan Ji shook his head and replied, "Mom is teaching my elder brother and me how to use halberd recently. We will wait a few months to learn it before going to Jiangling."

"It's still on the way."

Gao Shun clasped his fists and explained: "Zhongling half a year, Jiangling half a year Jiaozhou, wait a few more months and I will personally send him there."

Xu Shu nodded, "Someone needs to be escorted along the way. Cao Cao and Sun Quan are fighting in Ruxu. If a bandit ship flows into the Yangtze River to cause trouble, it will be troublesome."

"If that's the case, I'll settle the score with Gan Xingba. If bandits appear on the Yangtze River, it's because of his negligence." Gao Shun responded with a smile.

Lan Tian hurriedly interrupted: "Bo Ping is serious, don't say this is impossible, even if Xingba really dereliction of duty, General Guan should be held accountable."

"Uh... I forgot that he is now under General Guan..." Gao Shun scratched his head and smiled wryly.

Lan Tian took Xu Shu's hand and said, "I'll go to the pier to see you off, and I've prepared a set of abalone and seafood for Jiang Ling, and I'll distribute it when I go back. Don't imitate Kong Ming to make white notes."

"The last time Uncle Yi left, Ziyu prepared two boats of seafood, and now there are still more to send to Jiangling?" Xu Shu was very curious.

"Yuanzhi, don't underestimate this sea. There are too many treasures in it. As long as we don't over-collect, we will be inexhaustible." Lan Tian believes that with the current level of technology, there is no ability to carry out over-fishing.

"I really complied with that sentence, relying on mountains to eat mountains and relying on water to eat water..." Xu Shu sighed softly.

Because Xu Shu's mother and son were purely on vacation, they didn't bring any luggage at all. The carriage went all the way south along Fengchu Street, which was the busiest artisan district and trade district in Guangzhou.

The artisan area on the right is emitting green smoke, the trade area on the left is noisy and busy, the sentry boxes on the street are in good order, and Pound's cavalry is patrolling around, which is a beautiful picture of fireworks.

Xu's mother put down the curtain of the car and said solemnly: "Mr. Ziyu is really a talent for helping the world. After Yuanzhi has children, he will move here to settle here. In the future, his grandchildren will study in Meng Xuetang and Guangzhou Academy. It's great... ..."

Xu Shu's eyes were moist, and he choked up and said, "My son is not filial..."

Chapter 456 A Strange Return Gift

"My son doesn't need to be sad, fate will come." Xu's mother stroked Xu Shu's forehead with one hand, but pressed the other hand on her heart. Hua Tuo's prescription was stored inside her clothes.

Xu's mother secretly invited a doctor to give her daughter-in-law a pulse, but it turned out that it was not Xiang Shi's fault. Xu Shu chose to escape from the hidden illness, so she could only find Lantian for help.

Xu's mother was in a good mood on the way home, and Xu Shu once asked curiously: "Mother is in a good mood recently, has something happy happened?"
