Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 379
Lan Tian took Lu Lingqi for a walk on the beach and found more hermit crabs.

"Husband, there are so many hermit crabs on the seashore."

"There will be more low tide at dusk."

"Why didn't we find out when we first got here?"

"That's because you didn't bend down to look for it. When you are willing to look down at the world, you can find that besides hermit crabs, there are other interesting animals and beautiful shells."

Lu Lingqi was startled when she heard that, she felt that Lantian seemed to have something in her words, was she telling me why I should get close to the common people?No wonder he is so loved by the people.

Women like beautiful things. Hearing what Lan Tian said, he gave up hermit crabs and went to the beach to pick up beautiful shells. He was as happy as a child when he was young.

At this time, Lu Lingqi rolled up her trousers like Lan Tian, ​​and she was bouncing around on the beach with her bare feet. She looked like a fisherman's girl, but the fishermen didn't have such fair skin after being exposed to the sun and rain, but the second master's red face More suitable for the seaside.

Seabirds fly across the sky from time to time, and the tireless tide rises and falls. The girl from the Lu family collects shells on the soft beach, and sometimes takes the shells to the waves to wash. Lan Tian feels that the picture in front of him is too beautiful.

"Xiao Jun." Lan Tian suddenly had an idea.

Lu Lingqi ran over with a shell in her hand: "Husband, what's the matter?"

"After we move to Guangzhou City, we will come here wearing Liuxian skirt. I will find a good painter to paint your portrait. It should be so beautiful, right?" Lan Tian looked up and down.

"What beauty?" Lu Lingqi felt a burning sensation in her cheeks, and she subconsciously covered it with her hands, but the beautiful shells she picked up fell all over the floor, and some of them were broken into pieces in the collision.

"It's all your fault. I came here to tease people in broad daylight, and the shells I finally collected were destroyed. Besides, Liuxian's skirt is so long, and the hem of the skirt will definitely fall into the sand and water. Wouldn't it be a pity to get dirty?" Although Lu Lingqi complained, she was still flattered to hear the praise.

Lan Tian squeezed the trouser legs with both hands and lifted them up, explaining with a smile: "Isn't it enough to carry them like I do then? That picture will be wonderful if you think about it."

Lu Lingqi blushed again, she turned around and turned her head, "Oh, hurry up and find some beautiful shells for me, we have to go back to Guangxin, otherwise it will be dark later."

"Oh good." Lan Tian acted immediately after receiving the 'order'. He found that Lu Lingqi was more shy than when she was young, which seemed unscientific.

Lan Tian is a straight man. He didn't know that as long as a woman feels in love, even a woman in her late teens will be shy. That instinct has nothing to do with her age.

The two played on the beach for more than an hour, and finally rode their horses to the Panyu Wharf. Only then did Gao Shun, who was in the distance, released his covert protection and returned to his construction site.

After boarding the boat, because he was in a hurry, Lan Tian asked the sailors to row the oars at full speed, otherwise they would not be able to reach Guangxin before dark.

The boat was riding the wind and waves in the gloomy water. Lan Tian was worried that he didn't prepare anti-dizziness pills for Lu Lingqi, but the other party's nympho expression didn't look like she was feeling unwell at all.

At this moment, Lu Lingqi was still intoxicated by the beach just now. Before leaving, the two of them washed the sand off their feet in the waves, and in the end they brought some sand into their boots.

Lu Lingqi didn't like sand sticking to her feet. Before putting on her boots, she repeatedly slapped them with her socks, trying to clean them completely before putting on socks, but the result was bound to be in vain.

Seeing this, Lan Tian took Lu Lingqi to the beach, and then a princess picked her up. First, she faced the waves to wash away the sand, and then hugged her back to the shore. Although the time spent before and after was very short, Lu Lingqi seemed to be at that moment. Freeze.

"What's wrong?" Lan Tian pulled Lu Lingqi back to reality.

"Uh, it's nothing." Lu Lingqi changed the topic with a guilty conscience, "I remember you put a few shells into your bosom just now, and showed them to me."

Lan Tian didn't have time to think about it, and took out three large shells from his bosom. Although they were ordinary in shape, they were not damaged. Lu Lingqi took out more than a dozen small white and crystal-clear shells, just in time for the sun to shine on the deck. Light.

"Husband, why did you choose the big and ugly one?"

Lan Tian picked up a conch, put it to Lu Lingqi's ear and said, "Put it to your ear and listen."

Lu Lingqi didn't know what it meant, but she heard the sound of rushing water as soon as she reached her ear, and she asked in surprise, "Why is this happening? There seems to be the sound of ocean waves inside."

"Conch can hear the sound of the sea. I plan to give two of them to Yuan'er and Ji'er, and find someone to send the other one to Chengdu for A Dou. He has never seen the sea before." Lan Tian said.

Lu Lingqi nodded slightly, "Give these shells to my sister, and next time we will go to the beach to pick them up."

Lan Tian picked up a shell and asked meaningfully: "Do you know, Xiaojun? In ancient times, people used shells as money."

Lu Lingqi replied: "I've heard others talk about this. At that time, living by the sea should be very rich, right?"

Lan Tian shook his head quickly: "At that time, people only lived in the Central Plains. Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jiangdong were all barbarians who drank their blood. How can we talk about being rich?"

"So that's the case, but why don't people from the Central Plains go to the beach to collect shellfish? That's much easier than hunting and farming, right?" Lu Lingqi asked again.

Lan Tian smiled slightly and stretched out two fingers: "There are two reasons for this. First, the state prohibits private shell picking, and will send people to the seaside to monitor it. If you are caught picking shells privately, you will be beheaded. This is the same as private people can't mint money now. , if it is not strictly managed, the world will be in chaos. Guiyang County now has a lot of mineral deposits, and there is no disorderly and continuous production of coins;
The second is that in ancient times, the road from the Central Plains to the sea was dangerous. In addition to the desolation, there were also ferocious wild beasts. It was found that most shells could not be exchanged for cow fur, because the shells that could be used as money had strict selection criteria, and at that time, it was found that it was not as fast as hunting.”

"That's why you can't make a lot of money by being clever, and you have to follow the right path in life and work." Lu Lingqi was thoughtful.

Lan Tian nodded affirmatively: "What Xiaojun said is very true."

With the experience of this trip to the seaside, Lu Lingqi often went to Panyu in Lantian to inspect and supervise the construction progress of Guangzhou City in name, but in fact she went on a tour with her.

The Guangzhou city construction site also regularly improves the food, so that more and more people participate in the construction. The news that Lantian is building a new city next to Panyu spreads farther and farther, except for the local people in Nanhai County, Cangwu, Yulin People from , Hepu and other counties came to visit.

Lantian asked Gao Shun to post a lot of general plans similar to the real estate of later generations on the built city wall. The plans clearly marked the planning of each area, where to build government offices, where to build medical centers, where to build markets, and even There are also Buddhist temples and Taoist gymnasiums, which are really all-encompassing.

Except for functional buildings, all of them are residential land, which makes many wealthy households in Jiaozhou think about buying land and building houses in such a big city.
