Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Lan Tian lacked experience in internal affairs. He had only worked as a secretary in Xiapihu Cao. When he came to Quanling, he asked the county chief Shi to follow the usual practice, but asked Tian Cao of the county to come to see him. He had ample say in farming affairs.

Liu Xian was originally in charge of Lingling's army, and Sima in the county was just a decoration. Lan Tian knew that as long as he controlled the army, he could control the stability of one side, so he wanted to use his own people for this.

Sending away Chang Shi and Sima, Lan Tian told Gan Ning: "Next to Quanling is the Xiangshui River. Xingba now has a place to use it. Lingling's water army can be built, and it will be of great use in the future."

"Wei." Gan Ning responded with cupped fists.

Gan Ning has a rough and violent personality, but in front of Lan Tian, ​​he behaves very obediently.

Looking at Lan Tian's deeds in Linwu these years, Gan Ning knew that this person was definitely not someone in the pool. He admired Lan Tian from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't despise Lan Tian because he was younger than him, and he didn't despise Lan Tian because of his recent meritorious deeds. proud.

Lan Tian continued: "Xingba, your navy, I hope that in addition to combat, you also need to take care of other functions."

"Others?" Gan Ning looked puzzled.

Lan Tian nodded: "Lingling is mountainous and difficult to walk, but rivers run through the whole area, and even follow the Xiang River to reach the Yangtze River. Once there is a war in the future, this waterway will be the most important thing to transport troops and food."

Gan Ning scratched his head and asked, "What exactly do you mean, sir? Please explain clearly."

"I will ask Hu Cao, Shui Cao, and Jiang Zuo Cao to send people to cooperate with you in dredging the river and building more docks. From now on, I hope that whether it is suppressing bandits or bandits, or transporting troops and food, they can arrive in one day."

Lantian also expressed his feelings along the way. Later generations said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. With the current level of infrastructure and national strength, it is indeed powerless to face these mountains and rivers. However, using waterways to develop water transportation is a good way to adapt to local conditions.

Gan Ning had experienced battles in water for a long time, and he understood the truth that soldiers are precious and fast, so he immediately nodded his head to accept the task. In addition to Gan Ning's own [-] pieces, Lan Tian sent another [-] soldiers from the city to make up enough for him. The number of two thousand.

The land troops in Lingling were naturally taken over by Gao Shun. In addition to the thousands of soldiers brought by Linwu, there were actually only more than [-] soldiers. , which is much stronger than the usual [-] soldiers.

Gao Shun's mentality has changed in the past two years. Originally, he only wanted to protect Lu Lingqi well. Now that Lanyuan was born and Lantian was on the rise again, he decided to fight again while he was in his prime.

A few days later, the county magistrates, magistrates, and Tian Cao from all counties came to Quanling to meet their new boss, but only the people from Lingling and Shi'an counties were missing. Lan Tian thought that there are troubles in this era?

After a brief introduction, Lan Tian ordered the counties to select fifty farmers, and the county officials of Tian Cao led a team to Linwu to learn farming techniques, and then returned to Lingling to promote planting after learning, and asked Li Yang to send a team to each county. Guided by five veterans.

This is Lantian's method of "please come in and send out" borrowed from later generations. After all, with more and more territories, he no longer has the energy to teach his apprentices hand in hand.

Lan Tian still cultivated half an acre of land next to Quanling to cultivate and improve two-line hybrid rice varieties. He must persevere in this endeavor.

For the high-yielding corn seeds, he, Li Yang, has left enough mother seeds. If he has suitable land in the future, he can just spread them on a large scale. However, the staple food in Jingnan is still rice, so he has to work hard.

"Do you know why no one came from Lingling and Shi'an counties?" After explaining his work, Lan Tian asked about the two absent counties.

Everyone was silent, except Zhou Can, Taoyang County Magistrate, who had a strange look on his face.

"What does Magistrate Zhou know?" Lan Tian asked.

Zhou Can bowed his hands and bowed: "There are more people in Lingling and Shi'an, and they often raise troops to loot property. My colleagues from the two counties probably couldn't arrive because of this..."

Lan Tian frowned, is the Chinese-Vietnamese conflict in Lingling so tense?Without a stable environment, it would be difficult to carry out his planting techniques.

After everyone left, Wei Huan, the magistrate of Lingling County, came to ask for an audience. Officials from other counties brought some local products as gifts when they met their superiors for the first time, but this magistrate came empty-handed.

Seeing this man lying on the ground in a state of distress, Lan Tian couldn't bear to say, "Cheng Wei County, get up and talk."

"Wei." Wei Huan replied and got up and stood aside.

Lan Tian saw that Wei Huan's lips were chapped and his official robes were covered with dust, so he asked someone to fetch water to quench his thirst, and finally asked, "Why is the magistrate of Wei County so late? Where are your magistrate and Tian Cao?"

Wei Huan cupped his hands and replied: "Lingling County is located in a border area, Yue people often go down the mountain to loot, and the county magistrate presides over the overall situation at home..."

"What about the garrison in the county?"

"Liu Taishou set a policy of being soft and not letting us take the initiative to fight back. In addition, those Yue people who make trouble come and go like the wind, and most of them are hunters with high martial arts skills in the mountains. Even the garrison can't resist..."

"The situation in Shi'an County is the same?" Lan Tian asked.

Wei Huan nodded: "The situation over there is even more serious. Shi'an County has to use money and food to buy peace. I heard that this time, because of insufficient money and food, they were retaliated by Yue people. The captain of Shi'an County also died in the line of duty... "

Lan Tian frowned and asked again: "Do you also want to buy Ping An?"

"Occasionally... I brought some local products with me, but they were looted by Yue people after I left the city..." Wei Huan lowered his head as he spoke.

"You two counties don't have a large population, right? The money and food you saved are subsidized to the Yue people. What will you hand over to the county?" Lan Tian asked coldly.

"Prefect Liu made our two counties self-sufficient..." Wei Huan replied in a low voice.

Lan Tian patted the case and was furious: "Is there still the law of heaven? Is there still the law of the king?"

Chapter 100 Cut the mess quickly

Lingling and Shi'an counties are self-sufficient, so they ignored Lantian's propaganda. Wei Huan came here secretly by himself. For such a thoughtful official, Lantian thinks it can be saved.

Unexpectedly, when he first came to Lingling, he encountered such a difficult problem. Lantian asked Wei Huan to rest in the post house, and then called Gao Shun and Gan Ning to discuss the countermeasures.

Ordinarily, this kind of ethnic conflict is mainly caused by interests, and to a large extent it is also caused by misunderstanding and poor communication. However, Liu Du's solution is to blindly tolerate. Although it is a short-term solution, it will continue in the long run. It's tantamount to keeping bandits in trouble.

If there is equal pay for equal work and smooth communication, there will be no major conflicts at all. At this time, the productivity of the Han people is advanced, and the productivity of the more people are slash-and-burn or backward, which will easily cause sour grapes.

Coupled with the fact that the language barrier ignited the fuse, the small war was inevitable, and the honest people suffered in the end.

In this case, the only option is to lie flat except to escape. The vitality of an area will be lost very soon. If you want to solve the trouble once and for all, you have to use both kindness and force. At least at this stage, the deterrence of force is indispensable.

The Yue people took the tribal group as the unit, and one or two hundred, or thirty or fifty strong men went down the mountain in groups and entrenched in the remote mountains of Lingling and Shi'an counties. a lot of.

Lantian doesn't want Lingling to develop into Jiangdong, who has been constantly fighting with the Shanyue tribe all his life.

Gan Ning has experience in governing the Yue people, but Lingling's water army is still being formed, and it will take a long time for the warships to take shape. Naturally, Gao Shun's trap camp is better than the land route.

"The Yue people in Lingling and Shi'an counties are arrogant and domineering, largely due to Liu Du's indulgence. Since we are here, we must suppress this evil spirit." Lan Tian clangs.

"Sir, let me go." Gan Ning asked.

"The situation is urgent. Boping is going to pacify Lingling, and Xingba is going to pacify Shi'an." Lan Tian pondered.

"Wei." Gao Shun (Gan Ning) said in unison.

Before the two left, Lan Tian said again: "Bo Ping goes to the posthouse to pick up Wei County Cheng first, Xing Ba, wait two days before leaving."

"It's not an emergency, why..." Gan Ning asked puzzled.

Lan Tian: "The so-called haste makes waste. If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. The Shi'an road is far away and it is better to go by water, but there are not enough warships in Lingling, so we can only wait."

"It will take time to build a ship. Does the gentleman have other clever ideas?"

"I have gone to Dongting in a light boat to meet General Guan, and asked him to borrow dozens of warships for use. I estimate that I will be back in two or three days. You should prepare food and supplies first."

Gan Ning's eyes lit up, and he thought that the master was strategizing, his vision was not limited to Lingling at all, and it would be much faster to travel by water.

Two days later, thirty warships arrived at Quanling. There were not many under Liu Bei's account who could make Guan Yu lose face, but Lan Tian was one of the few people he admired, so he sent his eldest son Guan Ping to help.

Gan Ning went south along the river to Shi'an, and agreed to rush back to Quanling before the end of the year.

During the time when the two went south to suppress the rebellion, Lan Tian was already arranging the future affairs. He wrote to Zhuge Liang to borrow Nanping County Wei Gaoyuan and Guiyang County Cheng Zhang Chang, so that he could use some familiar people to facilitate his work.

In October of the 11th year of Jian'an, the general Tai Shici died of illness in Jianchang. Sun Quan sent Cheng Pu to take over his position. Liu Pan took advantage of the situation and entered Ai County and other places to harass him. .

Liu Pan saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of, so he wrote to Liu Biao asking for more troops.

At this time Liu Biao was also in a state of desperation. The last time Huang Zu sent Deng Long to attack Chaisang, he was captured alive by Zhou Yu. Although Liu Pan had a small victory now, he was not as good as Zhou Yu in terms of troops.

After Zhou Yu pacified Ma and Baoertun, he added quite a lot of troops. If he attacked Jiangxia again, Huang Zu would be under even greater pressure.

The military power in Xiangyang is in Cai Mao's hands. The last time he was asked to give Liu Qi [-], it was enough to give Liu Biao face. He refused to pay out on the pretext of Xiangyang's defense needs.

Liu Biao had no choice but to write back to Liu Pan, telling him to go to Liu Qi if he was short of troops, and the [-] sailors were there to support him.

The [-] old, weak, sick and disabled Liu Pan didn't like it, so he could only watch the fighters go by. He knew that after Cheng Pu took over Jianchang completely, there would be no chance.

In mid-December, Gan Ning and Gao Shun's counter-insurgency troops will return to Quanling by water, and Lingling and Shi'an counties have been pacified.

According to Lantian's strategy of killing chaos with a sharp knife, referendums were held on the leaders of the rebellious Yue people. In particular, Gan Ning wiped out nearly a hundred tribes.

The bullied Han people in the two counties finally felt proud, while the rebellious Yue tribes fell into panic.

Lantian then adjusted the officials of the two counties, appointing Wei Huan as Lingling County Magistrate, Zhang Chang as Shi'an County Magistrate, and Gao Yuan as Shi'an County Captain.

Dealing with the Sino-Vietnamese relationship gives both kindness and power. If you give someone a stick, you will be given a candy. Lantian cancels the tax of the two counties for one year, and asks Li Yang to send someone to guide production.

With the means of the thunder this time, the Yue people in the two counties did not dare to make mistakes in a short time. Once the new technology and new agricultural tools are widely used, I believe that they will soon return to calm like other counties, and even realize their shame and develop faster. .

It took Liu Biao several years to quell the rebellion in the three counties of southern Jing, and it was not until Zhang Xian died that the two counties of Lingling and Shi'an were pacified within a few months, which surprised Liu Qi very much.

"I heard that people in Lingling and Shi'an had chronic illnesses. Liu Du was unable to deal with them when he was in office. Mr. Ziyu managed to calm them down in a few months. How sharp your sharp knife is." Liu Qi complimented.

Lan Tian said modestly: "It's all due to the merits of the two generals Gan, I actually didn't do anything..."

Liu Qi pointed at him and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world knows that Ziyu is modest, and Qi has finally seen it today. If it wasn't for Mr. who came to help me, how could I have such a stable life..."

"The same person does not have the same fate. It is good for the eldest son to control the overall situation. Wouldn't it be exhausting to do everything by himself?" Lan Tian replied.

Liu Qi took it for granted, "If I'm afraid I'll be scolded again in Xiangyang, it's a big talent like Ziyu who is understanding."

"Young Master, can you still adapt to Quanling?" Seeing that he was listless, Lan Tian guessed that his physical condition was very worrying.

"Very good, very good, but I feel a little weak. I will go to Chen County in a few days and ask Mr. Zhongjing to prescribe a few doses of medicine." Liu Qi laughed.

Liu Qi indulged in sensuality when he was in Xiangyang, and his body was hollowed out long ago. After he came to Quanling, he was left alone and indulged in drinking, sex, singing and dancing every day. He was afraid that he would die as early as in history.

It's not easy for Lan Tian to persuade him too much, after all, life and death are destiny.

"The New Year is approaching, and the young master is not celebrating the New Year in Quanling?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

"Sir is busy with Lingling and Shi'an these days, uncle is so happy that Lin'er doesn't know about it, right?" Liu Qi laughed.

Lan Tian made a calculation, and it really was that Adou's version had been updated.

Chapter 1: Fushouquan

Lan Tian smiled awkwardly: "If the young master hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it..."

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Ziyu is also working hard for Lingling, do you want to go to Chen County with me to celebrate the New Year?"

Lan Tian shook his head, "my wife is also pregnant with Liujia, and she will give birth in a few months, so I can only entrust the eldest son to bring me some gifts."

Liu Qi suddenly realized, nodded and said: "Ziyu is also a blessed person, so I will leave Lingling to you."

"Tian Dingran will do his best and go all out." Lan Tian cupped his hands.

Liu Qi went to Chen County to celebrate the New Year, while Lantian stayed at Quanling to preside over the overall situation. Because he lived in seclusion on weekdays, outsiders mistakenly thought that he was withdrawn and difficult to get close to, so officials of all sizes in Lingling did not dare to come to celebrate the New Year easily.

This was the first time that Lantian had such a deserted year after arriving in Jingzhou. Fortunately, Deng Fan and Lan Yuan brought joy to the family, and Gao Shun and Gan Ning were his right-hand men, so this family banquet was more interesting.

Once again, Lan Tian cooked in person. He first made chicken soup, then added abalone, sea cucumber, pork belly, mushrooms, etc., and simmered Fushouquan for Lu Lingqi over a slow fire.

After the pacification of Shi'an County, the society was stable, and the fruits and seafood produced in Jiaozhou entered Lingling County from here.

When Fushouquan was served on the table, the aroma overflowed and overwhelmed other dishes at the banquet.

Lan Tian served a bowl for Lu Lingqi, "Mr. Jun's pregnancy is hard, this food can nourish the body, I need to drink a few more bowls later."

Lu Lingqi had a big belly, so she was not suitable to appear at a banquet, but today is basically a family banquet of the Lan family, so she still accompanied Lan Tian to attend.

Fushou Quanguang smelled delicious, Lu Lingqi took a sip and found it was very delicious, so she asked: "Husband, does this dish have a name?"

"This dish is named Fushouquan, which means good luck and longevity." Lan Tian said with a smile.

"Master, does it taste good...?" Deng Fan sat down and asked curiously.

Lan Tian knew that this kid was also greedy, so he filled another bowl and put it in front of his eyes, "Fan Er wants to drink it, just come and get it."

Deng Fan scratched his head, and found that Gao Shun and Gan Ning were looking at him with a smile, so he walked over with his head down, picked up the bowl and handed it to Lan Tian and said, "Student, don't dare, sir, please use... ..."

Lan Tian nodded, then filled another bowl and said, "Since you value etiquette, give it to General Gao and General Gan first."

"only."

Deng Fan took two bowls of Fushouquan and sent them to Gao and Gan's desk, and when he returned to Lan Tian, ​​Lan Tian handed him another bowl, "The gift from the elders is irresistible, let's drink it."

"Thank you sir."

Lan Tian often 'develops' delicacies according to the ingredients. When he saw Gao Shun drink a bowl of Fu Shou Quan, his eyes turned red.

"What's wrong with you, Boping? It's not to your liking?" Lan Tian asked puzzled.

"It's just too delicious, so I'm a little excited." Gao Shun shook his head and said.

Gao Shun is strict with himself, and his emotions and anger are not visible. Lan Tian didn't believe that he would be excited because of the delicious food.

This guy was actually moved because most men like the new and dislike the old, and so is Lu Bu and Liu Qi.

Given Lantian's current status, it is not uncommon to have a few concubines, but Lantian and Lu Lingqi are very affectionate, and often cook to please him. Gao Shun admires this uncle from the bottom of his heart.

Gan Ning had never eaten sea cucumbers before. After he picked them up from the bottom of the bowl, he saw that the sea cucumbers were black and covered with thorns, and smelled a bit fishy, ​​like the caterpillars on trees in his hometown, so he hesitated Shut up.

"Sir, what is this? Can it be eaten?" Gan Ning asked.
