Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

"The dozen or so yards in the 'Wanghai Bieyuan' are not prepared for idlers outside. Except for the small courtyard where Master Xu lived, Yide, Yunchang, and the king are all prepared.

It's not impossible for Yu Zhongxiang to live there temporarily, but the house always needs to pay some rent, right?Gong Yan, you send someone to collect according to the market price. "Lan Tian had just finished his business with Sun Quan, and it was time for him to clear his head.

Jiang Wan was taken aback when he heard that, Yu Fan's family was brought back by Lan Yuan, and he probably left without any belongings in a hurry, so what would he use to pay the rent?

"According to my observation, Yu Fan didn't bring any property with me, but he is a famous scholar in Jiangdong after all. If the government uses this method to persecute, maybe it will give people something to talk about..." Jiang Wan asked worriedly.

Lan Tian snorted coldly: "There is no free lunch in the world, and Jiangdong celebrities can't play rogues. If we can give his family a bite, it is the best of humanity."

"Uh..." Jiang Wan was speechless.

Upon seeing this, Lan Tian added: "In addition, let Guangzhou Academy and Lingnan News post a notice to recruit a clerk as soon as possible..."

"Your Majesty, do you want to recruit scribes?" Just as Jiang Wan said that, she suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "You mean..."

"One money can stump a hero, I said I'll let him come to him by himself." Lan Tian nodded slightly.

Everyone in the hall heard it clearly and thought, Yu Fan, why are you so arrogant?Sun Quan stumbled in front of General Lan, so why not run quickly to recommend him for an official position?

Chapter 633 Yu Gong and Private Acquisition of Nichinan

Lantian encourages trade in Guangzhou. After several years of administrative promotion, various systems and guidelines have gradually been introduced in accordance with market laws, and the commercial firms, traveling merchants, and hawkers in the city have also found a balance.

After the cake in the trade zone was enlarged, commercial tax was also implemented and gradually became an important source of finance in Guangzhou. Lantian also implemented step-by-step taxation according to profits according to different industries and scales, ensuring the interests of all businessmen.

At the same time, Jingzhou fought against Jiangdong and Cao Cao, and the Yangtze River and Hanshui passages were closed for a short time, but it did not affect the businessmen. In addition to traveling to Guiyang, Lingling and other places, they became a major city in Jiaozhi County, where the population of Jiaozhou accounts for a large proportion. A new target for merchants.

Maritime trade did not weaken due to Wang Shi's seizure, but because of the continuous prosperity of the war in the Central Plains, Li Yicai left for less than half a year, and the shipyard orders he was in charge of had already been scheduled for next year.

The prosperity of trade in Guangzhou was promoted by Changjiang Newspaper and Lingnan Newspaper, and word-of-mouth by caravans from all over the country. Trading time, but this also brings difficulties to market management.

Lantian set up the Guangzhou Department of Commerce, which is responsible for the management of merchants in the trade area and tax audits.

Jiang Wan knew that Lantian attached great importance to commerce and trade, so he deliberately brought his subordinates with him during the collegial meeting. He stood in the corner and watched Lantian exchange governance experience with the county guards, and felt that his career was very meaningful.

The matter of Yu Fan was a small episode. After Lan Tian finished handling all the important matters of the states and counties, his eyes fell on Shi Zhi.

"Master Master is also here. During my absence, the trade area was relatively stable, and the tax revenue has also increased compared to the first half of last year. This is inseparable from your efforts."

"The Fu Jun's praise made the humble official feel ashamed. During this period of time, the situation has been stable, and it is inseparable from the Major General to deal with the villains in a timely manner."

Lantian saw that the scholar was only in his sixties, but he still had such a great drive. He thought that he was depressed because of intercourse, so he turned his head and told Jiang Wan: "The Department of Commerce and Trade is a new yamen, and I don't know if they are performing their duties well. Gong Yan, you need to pay more attention, you must treat everyone equally, and you must be rewarded and punished clearly, and the masters are dedicated to their duties, so I think they should be rewarded."

"The humble job is written down." Jiang Wan nodded in reply.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Shi Zhi bowed and saluted.

Lan Tian nodded slightly, then changed the subject and asked, "Your father is an octogenarian, has he sent any letters recently? Is he in good health? I'm mainly too busy, and I've always wanted to meet each other, but unfortunately it never happened."

After listening to Lan Tian's words, Shi Zhi's face was a little embarrassed. Although the Shi family surrendered to Liu Bei in name and recognized Lan Tian as Jiaozhou Shepherd, the three counties of Hepu, Jiaozhi, and Jiuzhen were still not under the jurisdiction of the State Shepherd's Mansion. Cochin, so Shi Zhi, who is a son of man, has to think about it.

"Uh... There is a communication every two months. My father is still in good health, but it is true that he is too old to visit the Fujun. The Fujun is in charge of helping the world, so don't worry about him..." Shi Zhixin said If you really want to take the army, how can father's dragon guards stop it?

Thinking of this, Shi Zhi's heart shuddered. Could it be that the Fujun meant to swallow Jiaozhi?So he quickly activated the passive skills of the Shijia, and said good things to Lantian and showed his loyalty: "My family admires the King of Hanzhong very much, but because of old age, he can't go to Chengdu to pay tribute. When the Fujun left, he sent several boats of gifts. General De brought him back to Chengdu, and now I heard that he has returned to Wudu, so I can only ask the Lord to accept it..."

Lan Tian saw Shi Zhi's intention, and he didn't intend to take the toe to each other for the time being, so he smiled and said: "Wei Yangong's wish is accepted on behalf of the King of Hanzhong. Now that the Yangtze River waterway has been connected, I will send it to Chengdu tomorrow. You wrote back to thank your father for me, and told him to take care of his health..."

"Honestly obey orders."

"In addition, the treasurer Wang of the Panyu Commercial Bank has been detained by Lin Yi's anti-king for a long time. Has Duke Weiyan sent anyone to negotiate?"

Shizhi knew that Lantian wanted to ask about this, so he wiped his forehead with his sleeve and replied: "The Zhan people in Linyi have been hostile to the Han Dynasty for a long time, and there are many arrogant soldiers in the royal area of ​​Linyi. I'm trying to find a way, but I haven't been able to save Shopkeeper Wang, but my father sent a lot of property there, and Shopkeeper Wang's life is safe for the time being."

After listening to Lan Tian, ​​he knew that Shi Xie could only give gifts. How many arrogant soldiers can there be in a place as big as Lin Yiguo?Dare to feel that Qu Jin is using Shi Xie as a cash machine.

"Mr. Weiyan has a heart. Now that the crisis in Jingzhou has been resolved, I will send someone back to Wang Shi soon. Now that the warships at sea have not reached a large scale, we may have to borrow ways from Hepu, Jiaozhi, and Jiuzhen. Help me to breathe." Lan Tian said.

"Wei." Shi Zhi felt his heart beating when he heard this, fearing that Lan Tian would attack Guo with false ways, but he had no choice but to agree.

After Lantian finished handling the state's internal affairs, he left a few generals to come to the apse. Everyone thought they were going to use troops against Lin Yiguo, so they were very motivated, especially Samoko, who hadn't made any military exploits in the past few months.

"Sir, the entrapment army fought hard. Let my barbarians go to the remote place in Rinan County? Just let General Gao take command." Shamoke recommended himself.

Lan Tian looked at Gao Shun and asked, "What do you think of Boping?"

"Sir, you always pay attention to intelligence when you use soldiers. I think it's better to find out before making any calculations. During this time, the army in the formation is recruiting new recruits. I can't get out of it in a short time..." Gao Shun shook his head.

"I'm not afraid of a war, but it's a war of annihilation, right? Sir, it's better to send a general to fight the battle, after all, we have to deal with the aftermath after the war." Shamoke lowered his head.

Lan Tian asked Song Chen next to him, "Now there are more caravans traveling by sea, has your chamber of commerce collected any information about Lin Yi?"

Song Chen clasped his fists and replied: "With Wang Shi's lessons learned, these latecomers stopped the ship when they arrived at Jiaozhi, but Linyi's information has always been grasped. After Mr. taught this matter to Shi Xie, he sent Ustin to Linyi to deal with it. He approached him and established a relationship by sending money to the other party's officials, so Wang Shi is living well now.

The situation of Linyi's garrison was also investigated. The total strength of that small country is less than [-], and its weapons and equipment are very scarce. I estimate that [-] troops will be able to destroy the country. "

"Is Lin Yi so weak? Isn't Shi Xie too useless?" Sha Moke scratched his head and was speechless.

Lan Tian frowned, "It's not because the scholars were able to make a fortune in Jiaozhou, but because the Central Plains was out of reach of the war, and the scholars had a geographical advantage, but Rinan County was originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, and it was for the public and private. Take it all back."

"Sir, this kind of opportunity is rare. I suggest that Bo Yang be in command." Gao Shun made a suggestion.

Chapter 634 The private visit of Weibo has charm

Lan Yuan was flattered and quickly waved his hands: "I'm just a bodyguard, how can I take on this important task? Father must have arranged..."

"Boyang's performance in the rear of the town this time, whether it's handling the secret operations in the city or leading troops to sneak into Luling, is remarkable. It's a good opportunity to regain Rinan County, how can we easily miss it?" Gao Shun reminded.

"It's all thanks to my father's plan before leaving, and the help of President Song and Uncle Lu, otherwise I would be in a hurry..." Although Lan Yuan lowered his head modestly, he was also secretly looking at Lan Tian's face.

"Okay, you don't have to sing along, General Sha, don't worry, I care about Rinan County." Lan Tian waved his hand.

"Wei." Gao Shun, Sha Moke, and Lan Yuan replied in unison.

"Bo Ping, the entrapment army needs to replenish half of its troops, where are you going to recruit troops?" Lan Tian continued to ask.

Gao Shun replied: "Mr. has a very high prestige in Guiyang and Lingling. It is easy to recruit soldiers for recuperation these years, especially Linwu and Quanling where you were in charge. I plan to mainly go to these places."

"Boyang, you should come along too." Lan Tian beckoned to Lan Yuan.

Both Lan Yuan and Gao Shun looked at Lan Tian suspiciously, wondering what his intentions were.

"As a father, rewards and punishments are always distinguished. Aren't you envious of Zhongling's military Sima? Let Boping arrange a Sima for you to try. If you are not qualified, you can continue to come back and serve as my bodyguard." Lan Tian added absently.

Gao Shun was overjoyed after hearing this, he was clearly planning to train Lan Yuan, so he poked Lan Yuan's waist with his hand, and said excitedly, "Thank you soon."

"Thank you father, I will definitely live up to your expectations." Lan Yuan clenched his fists tightly.

Lan Tian shook his head lightly, "When you arrive at Feibi's house in the army, you must listen to Boping carefully. If I continue to suppress you, if your mother doesn't nagging in my ears, the king will have objections..."

"My child understands." Lan Yuan nodded in response.

Lan Tian then stretched out his left hand, and said to Gao Shun and Lan Yuan, "I'll give you half a year to conquer Nichinan after the autumn harvest this year, and then bring all the recruits from the fallen army..."

"Sir, what about my barbarians?" Before Gao Shun and Lan Yuan could answer, Sha Moke couldn't sit still.

"Half of the barbarians will be sent out by then." Lan Tian replied.

Sha Moke suddenly turned from worry to joy, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Then I can rest assured..."

"Let's stop here today." Lan Tian stretched his waist and stood up.

"only."

Just as the generals clasped their fists and turned around, Lan Tian suddenly called out to Sha Moke, "General Sha."

"Sir, what other orders do you have?" Shamoko asked in wonder.

Lan Tian said slowly: "You get ready in the afternoon, and we will leave for Jieyang tomorrow."

"What are you going to Jieyang for?" Shamoke scratched his head in confusion.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Don't your people grow kelp anymore?"

"Ah, all kinds of things..." Sha Moke's head was like a chicken pecking at rice.

When Lan Tian walked out of the apse with the others, the warm sun had almost risen to the sky, and the generals in the hall went back to their camps to work, Lan Tian walked down the steps in a dispirited manner.

It's cold in the north in February, but spring comes quietly in Guangzhou.

Lan Tian stood in the courtyard enjoying the sunshine and listening to the birds chirping in the trees.

"Sir, it's almost noon, do you want me to take you back to the back house?" Gao Yuan asked.

Lan Tian shook his head lightly, "I told my wife this morning that I won't go back to eat at noon today, so I won't have to make preparations when I go back. I will go to the Cultural and Educational District and Craftsman District with me, and I have to bring some people with me when I go to Jieyang tomorrow."

"Then I'll prepare the horse." Gao Yuan turned and left.

The water temperature of wild kelp is 1°C-13°C, which belongs to the environment with low water temperature. It mainly grows in the fertile sea areas of Qingzhou and Liaodong. Although the coastline of Jiaozhou is long, the number of kelp growing naturally is small.

Kelp is very common in the trade zone of Guangzhou, but because the selling price is too expensive, it is rarely delivered to the table of ordinary people.

Lantian engaged in artificial breeding, in addition to being used for military purposes, but also to increase food for the people. As long as the future production is guaranteed, the price will naturally go down.

The artificial cultivation of kelp is similar to the cultivation of mushrooms. In addition to seedling selection and breeding, aquaculture rafts must be prepared. The aquaculture rafts are divided into single-type rafts and double-type rafts. Each single-type raft is independently set up and has a strong ability to withstand wind and waves. , is the main farming raft type in coastal areas.

Lantian has the experience of later generations, so he will naturally choose a single-type raft in one step. The single-type raft is composed of floating ropes, prong cables, prongs, floats, hanging ropes, and seedling ropes.

In this era of scarcity of materials, single-type rafts cannot use the accessories of later generations. Lantian must communicate with the craftsmen, and he puts forward the requirements for the craftsmen to answer, and complete the valve group with existing substitutes.

Raft farming is the simplest of kelp farming. The most basic and important thing is similar to other crops, that is, seedling cultivation.

Kelp cultivation involves multiple steps such as building a nursery, selecting seedlings, raising seedlings, separating seedlings, emerging, and entering the sea. The establishment of a nursery alone is extremely particular, and various requirements such as sewage discharge, seawater intake, and lighting must be designed. In the absence of industrial equipment With the blessing, all procedures need to be completed manually, so the barbarians in Shamoco cannot complete it independently.

During his stay in Linwu, Lantian personally brought fifty agricultural students, and later set up a school in Quanling to set up a specialized agricultural department. Some of the successful students became teachers, some returned to their original counties and townships as agricultural officials, and there were dozens of them. Still engaged in agricultural research.

Lantian has never given up spreading professional knowledge. Whether in Quanling or Guangzhou, Lantian has prepared land for agricultural researchers to concentrate on cultivating grain seeds, vegetable seeds, and fruit trees.

This time when he went to Jieyang to cultivate kelp, Lantian planned to bring all these agricultural researchers with him. New knowledge needs to be recorded and disseminated, and these people are the disseminators of agricultural technology.

I made a big circle between Lantian and Gaoyuan City, identified the craftsmen and agricultural researchers who were going to Jieyang, and asked these people to pack their clothes and bags. This time they may live in Jieyang for a long time.

In Shenshi, Lantian and Gaoyuan passed by the trade area, and saw people crowded in the streets and alleys. Sure enough, wherever there is money, there are people, and wherever there is money, they go there.

"Didn't you say that there are many restaurants here, and the crafts I invented have been spread. Now is the time when I am hungry. Do you want to find a place to try?" Lan Tian suggested.

Gao Yuan was stunned, and said with some embarrassment: "The trade area is full of fish and dragons. Sir, you are going out in casual clothes today. What if you encounter danger? Why don't you let me inform the Department of Commerce and Trade, and ask the master to make room for you?"

"Private visits in micro-services, don't have a lot of charm, Boyang has cleared the night, and there are patrol soldiers standing guard, there will be no problem, let's go."

"Uh... well."

Lantian stored his horses by the side of the street, and he and Gao Yuan walked into the trading area. The east-west road here is the widest street, and the north-south road is narrow, called the alley. Most of the small restaurants are concentrated in the vertical alleys.

The two were walking slowly, and suddenly they were attracted by a restaurant with a plaque written "Strictly remember shabu-shabu".

"Interesting, let's go in and have a look." Lan Tian lightly flapped his sleeves and strode into the store.

Chapter 635 I really went out to meet noble people

As soon as Lan Tian stepped over the threshold, a young man with a rag on his shoulder came up to him.

"Is there a guest?" The waiter asked with a smile.

After the words fell, Gao Yuan subconsciously made a stride, and swished to block between the two, startling the waiter.

Gao Yuan stretched out his hand and said roughly: "Man, give us a private seat..."

The waiter was stunned, and asked with a little surprise: "You...you are together...then why are you crowded..."

"Don't blame me, buddy, are there still seats?" Lan Tian asked with a smile on his face.

"Today the upstairs is full, so the two distinguished guests can only sit in the lobby." The shop clerk pointed to the inside, and there were already six of the eight tables in the lobby, and the guests were eating hot shabu-shabu.

"Sir, do you want to change?" Gao Yuan asked.

"This restaurant is almost full. I guess it tastes good, so let's go here." After shaking his head, Lan Tian walked to an empty table and sat down alone.

Because of the advent of a large number of tables, chairs and benches, coupled with the invisible promotion of government offices, the cities under the rule of Lantian have abandoned the original habit of kneeling and sitting, and followed the fashion to use high-legged benches, so that the legs will not hang down because of kneeling for a long time. rather than discomfort.

Although the diners sat around the same table, they still had a small charcoal stove and a small shabu-shabu for each person to eat alone. Looking at the scene in front of him, Lan Tian couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Dining system, clean and hygienic, how high-end and elegant it is, don't you know that the ancestors have also divided meals from the beginning.

As early as in ancient times, because they could not grow grains, they could only live by hunting and gathering. If the meal sharing system was not adopted, the weak women and children in the tribe would not be able to grab food and starve to death.

The waiter in the shop wiped the tidy table again, and boasted with a smile: "We strictly remember that shabu-shabu is famous far and wide, and Tianhan was full at any time last month."

"It's full all day? Isn't it also the same for meals?" Gao Gao couldn't believe it.

"Guests, how about you? There are very few empty seats in Shenshi now, and the trade area is all for business. It's normal to be hungry anytime, especially when the weather is cold, many merchants are negotiating business in the store." The waiter's face was red. .

After hearing this, Lan Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that business talks at the dinner table have existed since ancient times. They randomly ordered two shabu-shabu dishes, a few plates of meat, seafood and vegetables.

"Dude, I see that there is a lot of seafood here, why is there no kelp? I remember it is sold in the market?" Gao Yuan asked curiously.
