After a while, there is a small table in the backyard, and the table is full of Lan Yuan's favorite dishes.

The father and son had a warm sun above their heads, and they were sitting together talking about the affairs of Guangzhou. When Lan Tian asked about the situation at home, Lan Yuan blushed and was a little embarrassed.

It turned out that Liu Wan was pregnant unknowingly before going out in July last year. When Lan Yuan returned to Guangzhou to visit his relatives at the end of the year, the beautiful wife at home was already pregnant. Lu Lingqi couldn't go to Jianye.

Chapter 919 Don't Participate in Political Struggles

Lan Tian counted with his fingers, then suddenly tapped on Lan Yuan's head, and said in a deep voice: "You idiot, according to the time calculation, Wan'er will give birth within this month, why don't you come back after the child is born?"

"Uh... Mother said that she would be there to protect her. It's the right thing to ask the child to help father. Wan'er also said that she was fine..." Lan Yuan lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Forget it, with your mother taking care of her, Wan'er's smooth delivery should be fine, let alone Mr. Hua, is the old man in good health?" Lan Tian stroked his beard and asked.

"Mr. Hua is in good spirits. I really can't tell that he is nearly [-] years old. My child once asked Mr. Wan'er to check Wan'er's pulse. He also said that the fetus is healthy. Besides..." Lan Yuan hesitated to speak at the end.

"What else?" Lan Tian looked curious.

Lan Yuan whispered: "Didn't you mention that Qingmei should study medicine? My mother asked Mr. Hua to try it, and it turned out that Qingmei was very accurate in identifying medicinal materials and holding silver needles very steadily. If Mr. Hua found a rare treasure, I plan to pass on what I have learned in my life..."

Lan Tian smiled brightly: "I don't think Qing'er is talented, but because your mother let her learn martial arts in the past two years. Naturally, her body is better than her peers. It's the same for your brothers to try."

"Zhongling and I are not as quiet as Qingmei, but do you really plan to let Qingmei practice medicine?" Lan Yuan was born in the Three Kingdoms period, and his thoughts and concepts were influenced by the surrounding environment, so he could not be as enlightened as Lantian. Able to marry, like Lu Lingqi has a whole body of skills, she can only stay at home to take care of her husband and children, and her own sister doesn't have many opportunities to show her face.

"If Qing'er is interested, there's nothing wrong with it. If you really don't like it, don't force it." Lan Tian smiled and drank a glass of wine.

Lan Yuan showed a sad face: "But Qingmei is a woman after all. Even if she treats women alone in the future, what should I do during my medical study? Do I study medical books by myself? Or ask my husband to teach at home? Mr. Hua is already seventy-nine this year, I'm afraid It is inconvenient to travel around for a long time, and it is impossible to apply what you have learned if you don’t follow the teacher for consultations in the classroom..."

"It's actually easy to handle. When Qing'er is a few years older, let her disguise herself as a man and go to medical school for two years, isn't it all right?" Lan Tian stroked his beard and shook his head lightly.

"A woman disguised as a man?" Lan Yuan swallowed, thinking that his father's idea was really fantastic.

Lan Tian saw that Lan Yuan was still worried, so he patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Bo Yang has led troops to many places. It is difficult for people in troubled times, and being a woman is even more like nothing. Qing'er was born in our Lan family. It's not difficult to marry a princely son, but as a father, I want her to choose for herself, so I need to learn more skills."

"Choose by yourself?" Lan Yuan became more and more confused as he listened.

Lan Tian nodded and sighed: "There is no life that can be repeated. Only you know how you live. There are still men in this world who can control their own destiny, but most women have no right to decide how to live, the more royals and nobles, the more so. , the daughter in the family has basically become the link to maintain the relationship, and I don't want Qing'er to become a tool..."

"What if Qing'er chooses to marry a poor family or Li Shu?" Lan Yuan asked.

Lan Tian's expression was indifferent, "It doesn't matter if you are a father, as long as Qing'er lives happily."

"What if His Majesty bestows a marriage?" Lan Yuan asked a difficult question.

Lan Tian shook his head lightly, "If Qing'er is unwilling, he will definitely intercede for his father, and besides, as His Majesty is a man, he will not force others to make things difficult."

"It seems that our daughter is better in our family." Lan Yuan deliberately joked.

Lan Tian smiled and replied: "If you and I were not responsible for the fate of the country, I would also teach you some skills, allowing you to freely choose your own life. Are Boyang's generals annoying?"

"Baby is joking, I really enjoy the feeling of heavy responsibility on my shoulders." Lan Yuan grinned.

Lan Tian nodded, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, the richer and stronger the country, and the happier the people. What we are doing now is laying the foundation for the future. Among the future generations we will benefit, of course, the Lan family is also included. For myself."

"You can save it, baby." Lan Yuan said while pouring wine for Lan Tian.

The father and son chatted while eating, and it didn't take long before the sun turned to the west. In the afternoon, Lan Tian was planting champagne rice in the courtyard, while Lan Yuan had to go back to the army to reunite with the generals, and did not return home to rest until late at night.

In the early morning of the next day, Lan Tian and his son came to the front yard at the same time to put on a posture in casual clothes.

The Lan family had the habit of exercising in the morning before meals. Lan Tian practiced the Hua Tuo Wu Qin Xi, while Lan Yuan practiced boxing and stick dancing with loud moves.

Half an hour later, the two went back to the room to have breakfast and sat face to face.

In the few months since Lanyuan left, the political situation in Jiangdong has undergone major adjustments. Last night, I heard a lot of news from the army that fell into the formation. Marry someone else?Complain that those Jiangdong gentry are too 'arrogant'.

Lan Yuan was full of doubts in his heart. He held a bowl and asked carefully: "Father, you don't restrain the Jiangdong scholars at all. What will happen if the situation gets out of control in the future? Now they are all inside and outside, and the soldiers have complaints."

"Did Chu Qing complain to you? It seems that he was free during this period of time. Xingba is attacking Lujiang at this time. You will also bring people to help in two days. Today I will teach you another word. Soldiers should not easily participate in politics. Struggles, the destructive power of civil servants who write is no worse than your swords, many generals did not die on the battlefield, but fell under the pens of their colleagues, do you remember?" Lan Tian's face was serious.

"Uh... the child is educated." Lan Yuan nodded in agreement, and then continued to ask: "Luling's foundation is poor, and its population is much smaller than that of Wujun, Kuaiji, and Danyang. It may be difficult to surpass it in a short time. Why is father so calm?"

After finishing the porridge, Lantian and his wife stroked their beards and said, "Weifu will tell you a story. There are wolves and sheep on the grassland. If you like to eat mutton, but wolves can only live on sheep, then you and wolves are the same. Competitive relationship, how would you choose to break the situation? Eliminate wolves and eat meat alone?"

"Uh... there seems to be no other way?" Lan Yuan looked surprised, thinking that there are other ways?

Lan Tian got up and smiled slightly, pointing to the gruel left in Lan Yuan's bowl and said, "If there are only sheep on the grassland, not only will you not be able to sit back and relax, but the number of sheep will drop sharply, and you may even die out naturally."

"How is it possible? The wolves are gone..." Lan Yuan looked incredulous.

"Because the wolves are wiped out, there will be more sheep, right? But the number of pastures is limited. The more sheep there are, the less food they can eat. The grasslands will eventually be gnawed into Gobi and deserts, and the sheep will eventually starve to death." Lan Tian said Answer deeply.

"Can't the flock survive and eliminate the fittest? The leading sheep can be allocated pastures, and if the population is controlled, there will be no grass." Lan Yuan thought for a while and argued.

Lan Tian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Individuals are selfish, fighting for grassland means fighting each other, and there will be bloodshed and death..."

"I understand." Lan Yuan interrupted Lan Tian and said happily.

Chapter 9: Bully men and women Lan Ziyu?

"What do you know?" Lan Tian asked back.

Lan Yuan replied excitedly: "It turns out that my father transferred the 'Huaisi wolf' away to make the 'Jiangdong sheep' fight among themselves? But will it take too long? We still have to go north to recover the Central Plains, so we don't have much time to spend on Jiangdong is watching a play."

After hearing this, Lan Tian shook his head lightly, "It seems that you didn't fully understand what I said just now. There is no natural selection for wolves. Weak sheep will survive under the protection of their families. Weak and weak sheep are easy to be infected with diseases, and illness will hinder the victorious sheep. flock, and then the flock perishes."

"Uh... my child understands, but I'm even more confused..." Lan Yuan understood the relationship between sheep and wolves, but he was even more confused about the situation in Jiangdong.

"Tell me first, in the story just now, who is the wolf and who is the sheep? What do we represent?" Lan Tian asked another question.

"Uh... are the Jiangdong gentry sheep? Huaisi... are we wolves?" Lan Yuan couldn't be sure.

Lantian Zhengse replied: "First of all, we represent the people who eat sheep. As a father and a Yangzhou shepherd, we represent the imperial court. The sheep graze on the land of the Han Dynasty. Shouldn't mutton be taxed?"

"Then who is the wolf?" Lan Yuan asked.

"Of course it's Sun Quan and the Sun family, Zhang Zibu is another flock of sheep." Lan Tian squinted his eyes.

"But the wolves have already been driven away, and you have driven away another flock of sheep, and now watching the 'Jiangdong sheep' grow up..." Lan Yuan smiled wryly.

Lan Tian showed a confident smile: "If you don't transfer the 'Huaisi sheep' away from the comfortable grassland, how can you tame the 'Huaisi wolf'? Luling is the wolf I prepared for Jiangdong, and Tan Dingzhou will turn Yuzhang into a wolf." Wolf, with Jiaozhou's political, cultural, and economic support, plus those magical Champa rice, can achieve brilliant results within a year."

"And then use the Yangzhou Newspaper as a propaganda to cause the 'Jiangdong sheep' to start splitting?" Lan Yuan had an idea.

"Children can be taught." Lan Tian nodded lightly, and then said, "Boyang, don't just look at the surface of the problem. The Jiangdong gentry occupied important positions such as county guards, county magistrates, and chiefs of the Six Caos. Talented people have also flowed into these crucial yamen, although their positions are not high now, big trees are grown from small saplings, and small saplings can be pulled up, but who can pull up big trees?"

"Hearing what my father said, my son suddenly understood. It turned out that the purpose of gathering 'Jiangdong sheep' together was to cause them to have conflicts with each other. But how do you plan to end it in the end?"

"Both wolves and sheep are indispensable. In this case, if we want to grow the flock and eat more meat, we need to expand the pasture. If the flock has more grass, the flock will reproduce faster."

"So let's take back the north as soon as possible, and let the whole world become His Majesty's pasture, but there are also sheep in other places..." Lan Yuan was originally in a turbulent mood, but suddenly realized that there is still a loophole in this problem, because the grassland is always limited.

Lan Tian asked seriously: "If Dahan doesn't have enough pastures, can't we go outside to open up? If we can't open up, can't we make the grass grow taller and faster? What is Champa Rice for?"

"So... my child understands..." Lan Yuan suddenly realized, and his respect for Lan Tian increased.

The government affairs of Yangzhou were covered by Gu Yong and others. During his stay in Jiangdong, Lantian was relatively military-oriented, and Lu Xun was the one he found the most.

After the war of destroying Wu, Lan Tian went to the table to ask for meritorious service. Since Sun Quan's Wu State no longer existed, all the heavy-named generals he named were reduced to miscellaneous names. For example, Zhuge Jin was demoted from Zuo General to Anguo General and surrendered after the war He Qi, the latter general, was demoted to General Pingyue.

Zhu Huan, Zhu Ju, Quan Cong, etc. surrendered to maintain their original titles. Ding Fengcong was promoted as a partial general from the school lieutenant. Only Lu Xun was appointed as the heavy-duty Anton General. He was second only to Lantian and Gan Ning in Yangzhou. And Yu Xiu (Hu Ke), who contributed the most in the battle to destroy Wu, was appointed by Liu Bei as General Anwu and Fengguan Neihou because he continued to hide his identity, and Song Chen was appointed as General Hengye and Fengguan Neihou.

Lan Tian went back to his house and changed his clothes. He was about to go out to meet Lu Xun with Cao Cao and discuss how to cooperate with Gan Ning in launching an offensive in Huainan. When he walked out of the gate of the main hall, someone was talking.

"Boyang, what's going on outside the door?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

Lan Yuan walked back quickly, clasped his fists and replied, "This man claims to be Sun Quan's doctor, and he said he has something important to meet with his father, but he refuses to say anything when I ask him about it."

"Oh? Let him come in and talk." Lan Tian waved his hand to Lan Yuan. He met many Soochow officials in this small courtyard, but this was the first time he had encountered such a fringe vain position as a doctor in the past few months.

The visitor was well dressed and looked slightly older than Lantian. Although his face was neat and stable, his brows were full of sorrow. Lantian mistakenly thought that this person was not successful in officialdom, so he braved up and came here to recommend himself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the other party entered the small courtyard, he first bowed to Lan Tian, ​​then knelt down on the ground with a plop, and shouted: "Please forgive me, my lord."

Lan Tian was dumbfounded, and quickly told Lan Yuan: "Help him up quickly, what can't you talk about properly?"

The man wanted to kneel down and refused to get up, but Lan Yuan's strength was so great that he had to stand up passively.

Lan Tian was very puzzled, thinking that I don't even know you, why did you come here and talk nonsense, do you want to pour water on me?This trick may be useful in the future, but it was a joke in the Three Kingdoms era. Who is behind the trouble?

"What's your name? What's the grievance?" Lan Tian couldn't help frowning after speaking, he felt that this line was wrong, he seemed to be a powerful and corrupt official?

The man clasped his hands and saluted, and replied: "Your official, Yuan Yao, today I took the liberty to come to see the lord, and I want you to let my little sister go."

"Yuan Langzhong, have you gone to the wrong place? There is not even a maid in the general's courtyard, what does your little sister have to do with me?" Lan Tian scolded and glanced at Lan Yuan, thinking that he should not listen to this guy's nonsense. , Said as if he was bullying men and women.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, the younger sister of Xiaguan is the wife of the former King Wu..." Yuan Yao swallowed.

When Lan Tian heard this, he suddenly recalled something, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that you are the son of Yuan Gonglu?"

"I am ashamed to be an official..." Yuan Yao lowered his head, the Runan Yuan family has become a thing of the past, saying it is like exposing a scar.

Lan Tian instantly understood the intention of the other party's visit. The Sun clan's solution has recently been reported to Liu Bei for approval, and people have begun to move out of Yangzhou one after another. Except for Sun Shao who is allowed to stay in Jianye, Sun Ben, Sun Fu, Sun Jing and others are next to him. The department was moved to Changsha and Guiyang for resettlement.

Among the women Sun Quan was trapped in Jianye, Mrs. Bu and Mrs. Yuan were of higher rank, as well as Sun Luxian who gave birth to the second daughter, Gong'e and the beauty who gave birth to the second son Sun Li, all of whom were going to be moved to Lingling for resettlement.

Among Sun Quan's women, only Mrs. Yuan has no heirs, and Yuan Yao may want to keep her in Jianye. Among the prodigal sons of Jiangdong's rich family, someone should want to take over the woman of King Wu.

"It is His Majesty's will to move Sun Quan's family, does Langzhong Yuan want me to resist the order?" Lan Tian asked meaningfully.

"I don't dare, but my younger sister has nothing to do with Sun Quan, can I just stay in Jiangdong and marry someone else?" Yuan Yao begged in a low voice.

"This is going to be difficult. Does anyone want to accept Mrs. Yuan now?" Lan Tian asked.

Yuan Yao shook his head, "Not yet, if the Fujun is in trouble, can you let the subordinates go with him, so that he can take care of him when he arrives in Lingling."

Lan Tian suddenly understood that this Yuan Yao was not for Mrs. Yuan at all, but wanted to escape from Jianye's sad place, but he did not belong to the Huaisi Sect, so no one arranged for him to go.

Chapter 921 The Spring Blossoms Bloom During the War

"You want to leave too? It's not impossible, it's just..." Lan Tian spoke condescendingly, and stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking.

Yuan Yao heard that there was something to be said, and hurriedly saluted and begged: "Little sister is going to a foreign country alone, please let the lord of the government do everything possible."

"This general is no longer in charge of Lingling. The affairs of Jingzhou are now under the jurisdiction of Xu Sikong. It's okay for Yuan Langzhong to go, but I'm afraid there will be no free time to settle down." Lan Tian showed embarrassment on his face.

Although Lan Tian is no longer in charge of the four southern Jing counties, it is easy to ask for favors from Xu Shu or Hao Pu. Besides, Yuan Yao is only an official by Sun Quan's side, and it seems that his ability is relatively mediocre. Otherwise, with Mrs. Yuan's relationship, he would Will not be such an idler.

"Uh... If we can go to Lingling together, we can do it for the common people..." Yuan Yao quickly agreed. He thought that since his younger sister was good-looking, and he was from the Yuan family in Runan, he should be able to find an official family to marry. fall, and he can survive by nepotism.

Yuan Yao had inquired about the four counties in southern Jing, and knew that Lingling, where Lantian ruled, was the most prosperous. In addition, Lingling was far in the hinterland of Jingzhou, so there was basically no worry of war. Spend the rest of your life in another place.

"Since Mr. Yuan is so earnest, let's go home and pack up the preparations. We will set off with the fleet recently, and we can go to Li Cao's Yamen to hand over in advance." After speaking, Lan Tian waved his hand lightly, signaling Yuan Yao to leave.

"Many thanks, Mr. Fu, next... the grassroots leave..." Yuan Yao bowed and exited the small courtyard.

Seeing Yuan Yao bowing his knees, Lan Yuan beside him asked suspiciously: "This Yuan Langzhong is really brave enough to leapfrog to beg his father. You usually don't talk much even Jiangdong officials, why are you spending so much time talking about it today?" On the little people?"

Lan Tian sighed: "Because he is Yuan Shu's son..."

"Father and Yuan Shu are old? No, Yuan Shu has long been defeated, and even Sun Quan is under your control, why did you do this to his son?" Lan Yuan seemed to be talking to himself, but actually asked Lan Tian about the situation.

Lan Tian looked into Lan Yuan's expectant eyes, and said melancholy: "If your mother hadn't met me, she would probably marry into Yuan Shu's family and become the wife of Yuan Yao just now."

"What?" Lan Yuan was taken aback, and then murmured to himself: "Then Yuan Yao is timid and has no trace of heroism, how can he be worthy of his mother?"

"My father told you earlier, how many women can choose their lives? Your elder father wanted to occupy Xuzhou in the past, but Cao Cao had a deep hatred with him. He always wanted to destroy it and then quickly. Your elder father wanted to make friends with Yuan Shu through marriage. Although your mother is a hero among women, she cannot escape her own fate..." Lan Tian frowned.

"Uh... If that's the case, my mother will go to Jiangdong with Yuan's orphan, but her fate should be very rough, and she might meet her father." Lan Yuan couldn't help but smile wryly when he thought of the ending.

Lan Tian shook his head and sighed, "Silly boy, if I hadn't met your mother, I might not have participated in the extermination of Wu, and I might have died in the chaos of the passing army."

"It's still as good as it is now." Lan Yuan felt very grateful.

"Now I understand why I'm tolerant of Qing'er. My father doesn't want her to be a tool to consolidate family interests and carry out political marriages like ordinary women. She should have a more free life." Lan Tian looked at Lan Yuan and said seriously.

Lan Yuan nodded after listening, and suddenly asked Lan Tian: "Father, Wan'er, she can't be..."

"Boyang and Wan'er know each other well. I asked the Queen's opinion in advance. Wan'er married into our Lan family voluntarily. His Majesty also likes your son-in-law very much. Could it be that you don't like Wan'er?" Lan Tian asked meaningfully.

Lan Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly explained: "Wan'er respects her parents, knows the general principles very well, and the child is very satisfied. When she successfully gives birth to Lin'er, please father give your grandson a name..."

"Father will pick the baby name, and you will pick the name yourself. Only then will you truly grow up." Lan Tian stroked his beard and smiled.

"You can save it, baby." Lan Yuan clasped his fists and nodded.

Lan Tian stepped down the steps, "When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, I will go to the Bing Cao with me now. We have to make the waves in Huainan bigger and share the pressure with General Guan and His Majesty."

"Wei." Lan Yuan agreed.

After relocating Sun Quan's family members and dismissing the attendants in the palace, the Wu Palace became an empty palace. Lantian "utilized waste" to allow the newly established Liucao Yamen to settle in it, so Lantian and his son entered the palace not far from the small courtyard. The door came to Bingcao Yamen.

At Lantian's suggestion, Lu Xun set up a war room in the yamen, turning Huainan and the surrounding areas into a sand table to facilitate military discussions and deployment of operations.
