Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 372 Take what you need
Lan Tian and Shi Xie rode in the same car, accompanied by general Gao Shun, and Cangwu prefect Xiahou Qi, Shi Hui and Hu Ke took the second car.

The carriages escorted by the entrapment army moved forward slowly, and Shi Xie raised the curtain of the car to see it in amazement. He had never seen such a battle in his life, not only the equipment was extremely luxurious but also well-trained.

Shi Xie finally understood why his second son, Shi Zhi, was obsessed with Quanling. It turned out that Lingling County under the rule of Lantian was so rich, and only in this way could it support a fully armed army of ten thousand soldiers.

Armor and weapons are expensive among the people, but Shi Xie has no idea that Lantian already has a complete industrial chain from mining, smelting to forging.

The entire industrial chain takes a long time and requires a lot of manpower and material resources in the early stage, but once the industrial chain is formed, the cost will be diluted at the end, forming a virtuous circle.

"What do Wei Yangong think of the scenery in his hometown?" Lan Tian took the lead in provoking the topic.

"Very good, very good, although I haven't been back for many years, but there is always a sense of kindness." Shi Xie recovered his senses and scribbled to deal with it.

"Duke Wei Yan came to Guangxin in person, do you have anything to teach Lan Tian? Why don't you tell me now?" Lan Tian first came to ask for directions.

Shi Xie was stunned at first, he didn't expect Lan Tian to be so impatient, but because of the presence of people nearby, he responded awkwardly: "Mr. Xuan Xiao is well-known in Jingnan, how can I teach you as an old man? Mr. was ordered to guard our Jiaozhou , as the prefect of Cochin, I will naturally come to pay my respects."

"Wei Yangong is really polite." Lan Tian nodded slightly, the old guy was indeed more stable than his son, it seemed that Shi Xie had other demands besides Shamoke.

The two stopped communicating after a taste, and the atmosphere in the carriage immediately became silent, with only the sound of the carriage running and three heavy breaths remaining in their ears.

"Mr. Lanfu, this general is so heroic and mighty, I haven't asked for advice yet." This time it was Shi Xie's turn to raise the topic.

Lan Tian smiled and introduced: "This is Gao Shun, also Gao Boping."

Shi Xie was startled at first, he thought this person was Lantian's guard, but he didn't expect it to be the general who was trapped in the camp, he hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "I've heard about General Gao's name for a long time, and seeing him today is really extraordinary."

"The prefect has a great reputation." Gao Shun clasped his fists in return.

Using the pretext of Gao Shun, Shi Xie and Lan Tian talked about the separatist regime, and lamented that the heroes of the world fell one by one. Lan Tian could see that Shi Xie was worried about himself.

Shi Xie was far away from the Central Plains and located in Anjiaozhou. Although he was still within the territory of the Han Dynasty, he still wanted to preserve an independent status for the family, even if he would pay tribute to the great princes.

Ever since he made friends with Lantian, Shi Xie has learned about his character in detail, he has methods, strategies, and knows how to govern.

After the battle between the Jingzhou garrison and Jiangdong, Lantian completely showed his sharp minions, and Liu Bei asked him to serve as the shepherd of Jiaozhou, so Shi Xie took another look at Lantian Gao.

When Shi Hui reported that the "guests" invited were difficult to serve, and some even couldn't afford to entertain them, Shi Xie already understood that Lan Tian was beating Shi's house, so he came to see him without stopping.

The carriage traveled on the road for half an hour and arrived at the destination. Lan Tian hosted a banquet in the front hall of Zhoumu Zhengtang to entertain Shi Xie and his son, and let Xiahou Qi lead Cangwu county officials to accompany him.

The dishes on the banquet had been brought from Quanling by the chefs, and Shi Xie had never seen them in terms of their categories and cooking methods. He declined, and in the end his unlucky son Shi Hui became a drinker.

Shi Hui also came prepared today. He bought a few anti-alcohol pills made by Zhang Ji through Ustin, and he was able to drink and drink at the banquet with ease.

During the banquet, Xia Houqi and Shi Hui continued to chat in the front hall. Shi Xie went to the back hall to talk with Lan Tian on the pretext of something important, and Gao Shun, who didn't drink at all, stayed around all the time.

"I'm too old to drink. Why didn't you see General Gao drinking just now?" Shi Xie reminded Lantian that he wanted to report alone, otherwise he would not shy away from Gao Shun in the carriage, emphasizing that he was old and frail and incapable of assassination.

"Gao Mou never touches alcohol." Gao Shun answered with cupped fists.

"What a strange person." Shi Xie sighed.

"Boping, go back to the front hall to take care of me. I'll call you if there's anything else to do." Lan Tian ordered.

"This..." Gao Shun seemed very hesitant. Ever since Shi'an was assassinated, Lan Tian had guards wherever he went. He almost forgot that Lan Tian also had martial arts. Although he couldn't compare with a formal soldier, he was more than enough to deal with the old man in front of him.

"Go." Lan Tian said firmly.

Gao Shun thought for a while, then strode forward to the front hall, and finally stopped by the gate of the passage, this distance would be very convenient for rescue.

Seeing Gao Shun's back disappearing into the apse, Lan Tian asked meaningfully, "What's the matter with Duke Wei Yan?"

"I heard that Yulin and Cangwu counties opened Meng schools widely, and the counties also set up official medical clinics. The prince of Fu worked hard for the people when he first came to Jiaozhou. I really admire the humble officials." Shi Xie bowed his hands.

Lan Tian frowned: "Mr. Wei Yan came from a long distance, so he is here to praise me, right? Because there is a lack of doctors and teachers, and the medical center and Meng Xuetang are not all covered."

"Yes, yes, step by step is right. Most of the people in Lingnan are barbarians who don't know how to be kings. It may be half the result to start a school rashly, but the medical center can benefit the people, and it can be spread throughout Jiaozhou. The humble position can help the government. Shi Xie quickly agreed.

Shi Xie's words are easy to understand. He agrees with Lantian's policy in Yulin and Cangwu, but he does not recommend extending it to other counties. Shi Xie can accept the popularization of medical centers across the state, but Meng Xuetang is not suitable for the people of Jiaozhou. The pun in the sentence is also testing Lan Tian's attitude towards the Shi family.

Lan Tian smiled slightly, and said half-jokingly: "Now there is a shortage of doctors, and the ability to cover Yulin and Cangwu is already exhausted. Wei Yangong and the brothers still need to be self-sufficient. After all, Jiaozhou is too big to cross the east and west."

Shi Xie was overjoyed when he heard that, Lan Tian's attitude had already shown that he would not change the current situation of the Shi family, and he reciprocated: "Nanhai County is connected to Cangwu County, Brother Wu did not show much success there for several years, and later died of illness. Therefore, it was seized by Wei Jing, fortunately the Lord Fu led his troops to drive away the traitors from Jiangdong, Huier tried to govern for several months but was unable to do so, look at this South China Sea."

Seeing this, Lan Tian wanted to catch him and said: "The weather in Jiaozhou has been good these past few months. I have never heard of any major events in the South China Sea. Why is he powerless? The scholars are working hard for Jiaozhou. Let the son rest and work hard to govern the South China Sea. This side will definitely support it with all its strength, and tomorrow I will send someone to present to the imperial court and ask for a badge of honor to be the Grand Administrator of the South China Sea."

"Your Majesty, don't be like this. The dog still needs to be trained, and the county guard is really hard for him. General, please put the people of Nanhai first." Shi Xie not only spoke sincerely at his age, but also knelt down on the ground with a plop.
