Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 287 Good things are in Fanbang
In June of the 18th year of Jian'an, Lantian and Gao Shun were patrolling outside Quanling City. The scorching sun hung high above the nine-day sky, the fields were golden, and the heavy ears of rice bent the branches.

"It looks like another bumper year. The official warehouses that were emptied at the beginning of this year should be filled within two seasons." Gao Shun said, stroking his beard.

Lan Tian nodded with satisfaction: "The composting skills of the common people are becoming more and more familiar. In addition to the use of pesticides last year, the number of seedlings dying of disease has been greatly reduced. The grain production should soon reach the limit. If you want to increase production, you can only work hard on grain seeds."

"When will you be able to breed the hybrid rice that Mr. said once?" Gao Shun asked curiously.

"It's easier said than done." Lan Tian shook his head with a wry smile.

Later generations spent decades with the power of the whole country. The discovery of male sterile plants was accidental, and they might not be found in their entire lives. Lantian only wanted to breed two-line hybrid rice. It also consumes a lot of manpower, which is an extremely difficult road.

In fact, at the stage when seeds are not advanced enough, agricultural fertilizer is the most effective means to increase production, but Lan Tian's professional knowledge does not match. Apart from using simple green manure, organic manure, manure, etc., he is powerless to use industrially refined fertilizers.

In this era, there are fewer people and more land. As long as there are no wars and natural disasters, the existing technical means can already feed the people.

Gao Shun saw that Lantian was a little melancholy, and asked immediately, "Is it a problem of land and climate? My husband once said that Jiaozhou is the most suitable for growing rice. Can't we just take Jiaozhou later?"

"The climate in Jiaozhou is warm and suitable, which is somewhat effective in cultivating improved rice varieties, but this kind of thing is like going against the sky. In addition to hard work, a little bit of luck is required to succeed."

"Anyway, I trust sir."

Gao Shun has been with Lan Tian for more than ten years, and has witnessed so many novelties and impossibilities. He even suspects that his husband is comparable to the ancient sage, and no one can understand it, so he has unlimited trust in Lan Tian.

Looking at Gao Shun's serious expression, Lan Tian smiled slightly and said, "Actually, there is an ancient rice species in the south of Jiaozhou. The ear length of this rice is as long as the awn grain. , it only takes more than [-] days from planting to harvesting.”

Gao Shun was dumbfounded when he heard this. He has been involved in supervising rice planting for several years. The rice yield of one season is the highest every year, and it takes about 150 days. Now the two crops of rice with slightly lower yields also need [-] days to mature.In contrast to the two, the ancient rice species mentioned in Lantiankou, in addition to the advantages of drought tolerance and indiscriminate cultivation, the growth cycle of more than [-] days is simply invincible.

"This can be called divine rice, right? Where is the rice seed? Ask Ustin and the others to get some?" Gao Shun asked excitedly.

Lan Tian shook his head, "This rice is located in Funan Kingdom, south of Jiaozhou, which is already outside the territory of the Han Dynasty. It is even more barbaric than Jiaozhou, and Ustin can't speak the language. Let's find a way in the future."

Lan Tian's words were poured over like a pot of cold water. Gao Shun hadn't even figured out the territory of the Han Dynasty, so he felt a pity when he heard that it was a foreign product.

"It's a pity that such a good thing actually grows in Fanbang." Gao Shun sighed.

"Actually, there are a lot of good things outside the region. Let's send people to look for them slowly in the future." Lan Tianxin said that what is Champa rice? Sweet potatoes and potatoes produced in the Americas are high-yielding fetishes. Unfortunately, with the current sailing power, we can't make it through. .

Gao Shun sighed: "A place with a gentleman is really a blessing to the people of the Li people."

The two rode horses and walked slowly. At this time, the sun rose to the middle of the sky and the scorching sun was hot. Lan Tian thought that it would be great if he could eat watermelon. Unfortunately, this food is not in the recipe of the Han Dynasty. Can only imagine in the mind.

"What are you thinking, sir?" Gao Shun asked as he walked.

"I'm thinking that there are many good things in the Western Regions. It has been hundreds of years since Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions as an envoy. In the future, after the unification of the mountains and rivers, he will have to send someone to go there." Lan Tian shook his head and laughed.

"If there is a day, I would like to serve my husband." Gao Shun said excitedly.

"When the world is settled down in the future, Boping will still enjoy the beauty of the world, and leave the mission to the Western Regions to Yuan'er and Ji'er."

"Alright, I'll ask Gao Ling to lead the horse for them."

Lan Tian smiled wryly and didn't answer. Gao Shun was good at everything, but he was too principled. I don't know how many generations this master-servant friendship will last. On the other hand, Gan Ning should be more open-minded and free-spirited. They also chatted happily.

Gan Ning's free and easy benefited from Lingling's good political environment. There were not many noblemen who held important positions under Lantian.

The two returned to the prefect's mansion, and Men Gang told them that Gan Ning brought someone to see him.

After hearing this, Lan Tian and Gao Shun looked at each other. After Gan Ning returned to Lingling, except for supervising the construction of the transport ship, he spent the rest of his time in the medical hall asking for advice on Wu Qin Xi.

"Didn't Xingba piss me off? Let's go in and see who he brought here." Lan Tian jokingly said.

Gao Shun guessed: "Could it be Yuanhua? Didn't the master want him to teach Yuan'er and Ji'er Wu Qinxi?"

"Madam said that Wu Qin Xi is soft, and now she urges the children to learn Kung Fu every day, let's talk about it when they grow up." Lan Tian quickly denied.

"Miss is right. The mastery of her family's martial arts is no better than Wuqinxi? I ​​don't know why General Gan is so respectful." Gao Shun was puzzled.

Lan Tian smiled wryly: "Wu Qin Xi still has some effect, like me with a weak foundation, at least it can strengthen your body."

Gao Shun shook his head straightly, "Mr.'s ability is not reflected in martial arts. Both generals Guan and Zhang have great respect for you. Why do you insist on the courage of a man?"

"Uh, I'm not obsessed, but I have some regrets, let's enter the palace." Lan Tian's regret is that he didn't wear it on the fierce general. The refreshing feeling of charging into the battle and killing the enemy is buried in every man's childhood dream.

Perhaps in the strategy game thousands of years later, Lantian's board attributes were seriously skewed, and the force value was extremely low, and the internal affairs value was close to full, so it was left behind to improve the basic data of the city.

There are flaws to be perfect, and regrets are called life. Lan Tian himself is not too entangled, after all, the one in the family is very good at fighting.

The two entered the main hall, Gan Ning hurriedly introduced a stranger to meet, although this man was not as rough as Sha Moke, but he was seven feet tall with big arms and round waist, he looked like a strong general.

After an introduction, he found out that he was Li Yi, the internal agent Gan Ning had found for Zhang Fei.

Li Yi and Gan Ning both belonged to Berkshire, and they admired the 'Jinfan Bandit' very much when they were young. This time, they were ordered by Zhang Fei to report to Jingzhou.

Lan Tian was a little confused when he heard this, Gan Ning had just passed his forties at this time, and Li Yi was so mature, how could he be his fanboy?

"How old is General Li?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

"The last general will be seven out of twenty this year." Li Yi clasped his fists and answered sonorously, his messy beard trembling.

Lan Tian was taken aback when he heard that, and quickly nodded his affirmation: "Good age."

In history, Zhuge Liang came out of the mountains at 27. If Li Yi hadn't declared his family background, he would have looked 36 if he wasn't forty, but he was actually a few years younger than himself, and he looked a little anxious.
