Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 771

"We have indeed made an appointment. Boyang is now the commander of the entrapment army, not a special storyteller. You have to listen to wonderful stories and let Uncle Gao tell you. He has rich combat experience." Lan Tian shook his head slightly.

Gao Shun was embarrassed when he heard it, "My eloquence is not as good as my husband and Bo Yang, but I don't know how to tell stories."

Lan Tian smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to tell stories. I think these children like to listen to sharing their war experience occasionally. You can also let Lu Tie and the others tell it. Huben Wutang has a lot of lessons."

"That makes sense." Gao Shun nodded.

Lan Tian then stood up and greeted everyone, "Bo Yang wants to see the Champa rice, do you want to come together?"

"There's nothing left and right, let's go." Gao Shun looked at Lan Ji and extended the invitation.

Lan Ji originally wanted to go back to the youth camp, but seeing Gao Shun's burning eyes, he couldn't refuse the future prison.

A group of people rode their horses and swung their whips, and went straight to the experimental field outside the north gate of Guangzhou.

Lanyuan Dama looked left and right, but he didn't see the green seedlings in his heart. He only saw the agricultural researcher dressed as a farmer driving cattle and plowing the ground with a curved plow. Some people cooperated with burying the planted green manure under the mud. , piled with bunches of withered yellow straw.

"Ah, the Champa rice has been harvested?" Lan Yuan was taken aback when he saw this. He remembered that in Hoi An Port two months ago, the green seedlings were only a few inches high, and he personally supervised the shipment, so he couldn't help but sigh that the growth rate was too fast.

Lan Tian nodded affirmatively: "The growth cycle of Champa rice is only [-] or [-] days. You have been on the road for nearly two months. It is reasonable to complete the harvest now. If it is not because of the transportation and transplantation, these hundreds of plants will hang ears and mature faster. , With this miraculous crop, it can effectively solve the livelihood of the people.”

"Is there a lot of shriveled rice and empty shells? How is the yield compared with the original rice?" Lan Yuan asked.

"At present, it accounts for a large proportion, and the yield is lower than that of the original rice, but this is only the first time to transplant and plant, and it has not undergone selection and breeding. After a few seasons of planting, there will be a big change." Lan Tian nodded and analyzed. .

"Since it is not as good as our rice seed, why does father work hard to cultivate it? Isn't this a waste of time?" Lan Ji didn't know much about crops, and he didn't understand the magic of Champa rice at all.

"Zhongling, it's fifty or sixty days away." Lan Yuan reminded.

"So what?" Lan Ji was still confused.

Lan Tian explained with a smile: "In a sunny place like Jiaozhou, Champa rice can be harvested three seasons a year. If you can harvest two seasons in Jingnan and other places, it only takes less than [-] days from planting to harvesting Champa rice. , How much time do you calculate for the three seasons of a year?"

Lan Ji nodded: "It's 180 days, doesn't it mean that the production of Champa rice is not high?"

"There are 360 ​​and five days a year, and three rice crops are planted in half a year. The time saved is for people to rest, and they can also grow supplementary food and vegetables. Now it takes five months for single crop rice in the north, and nearly four months for double crop rice in the south. months, the advantage of time can make up for many gaps, and this rice is drought-tolerant and does not choose the soil, and the land is not as demanding as other crops, which is its second biggest advantage." Lan Tian continued to explain.

"No wonder both the paddy fields and the dry fields are being cultivated. This move, sir, really benefits the people." Gao Shun couldn't help but sigh.

Lan Tian shook his head lightly, "Boping, don't say that. You and Boyang brought back this rice seed. Its meaning is stronger than recovering Rinan, but it needs to be cultivated many times before the seed can be spread out."

"In the future, as long as the people are willing to work hard, they won't be hungry anymore?" Lan Ji continued to ask.

Lan Tian was noncommittal, and replied with a serious face: "Whether the people will starve in the future is not only related to whether they are hardworking, but also whether natural disasters occur frequently, how the government stores in various places store food, and whether the people in power in the court treat the people well. Whether the tyrants annex the land, etc., all of these have a great relationship, no matter how magical the grain is, it cannot be done once and for all."

Lan Yuan agreed with certainty: "It seems that apart from natural disasters, it mainly depends on man-made disasters. Your Majesty loves the people like a son. In the future, when he conquers the world, he will treat the people well, so father don't have to worry."

After hearing this, Lan Tian shook his head: "The territory of the Han Dynasty is so vast. Even if the king becomes emperor in the future, he will not be able to take care of every county and township. To make the people live a good life, all local officials need to work together, so the country is rich and the people are strong. Not only do you need wise rulers, but you also need the help of virtuous ministers at all levels, you must be virtuous ministers in the future, and don’t forget that the food we feed us is all dug out by farmers with hoes.”

"You can save it, baby." Lan Yuan and Lan Ji replied in unison.

After visiting the experimental field, everyone rode back to the city for lunch.

On the way back to the city, Lan Ji and Lan Yuan led the way ahead, and the two brothers exchanged their martial arts experience again at this time.

Gao Shun looked at the backs of the two, and joked in a low voice: "Mr. is teaching all the time. No wonder Boyang and Zhongling are so outstanding. My family's Yuanfeng (Gaoling) is too poor in understanding. From now on, I can only help Boyang lead the army." .”

"Yuanfeng's kid is not bad either. This time he conquered Linyi alive and captured the enemy's chieftain, the King of Hanzhong will reward him for his meritorious deeds. I'll let Gongyan (Jiang Wan) sort out the merits. People from Chengdu will come to celebrate the opening of the Huben Martial Hall. , when the time comes, let someone drop by to take it back, Boping has no objection, right?" Lan Tian asked meaningfully.

Based on Gao Shun's military exploits over the years, he could have been named a heavy general, even a marquis, but Gao Shun has always regarded himself as Lu Lingqi's retainer, so Liu Bei didn't force it. Lan Tian gave him a vaccination at this time, worried Gao Shun also put shackles on his son.

Gao Shun obviously heard what Lan Tian meant, he smiled helplessly: "The general can have any opinions, if there is any good fortune in Yuanfeng in the future, it should be due to Boyang's light, and he is relaxed after being relieved of the commander-in-chief of the fallen army. I can't manage that far."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I think so too." Lan Tian smiled leisurely.

Gao Shun nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and asked, "On the first day of July, the Huben Martial Hall opens to welcome martial arts students. Do you know who the King of Hanzhong will send to congratulate you, sir?"

Lan Tian stroked his head and shook his head: "I first heard that the King of Hanzhong wanted to come in person, or let Adou come for him, but the officials in Chengdu were worried that the trek would be too hard, and they refused after they tried their best to dissuade them. There is a high probability that Pang Shiyuan of Dali Come here, one will open the door on behalf of the Great King He Huben Wutang, and the other can visit his son who is studying."

"Well, it's reasonable." Gao Shun nodded slightly.

It was a scorching summer, and everyone was busy with their own affairs after lunch. Lan Tian closed his eyes and rested on the recliner on the porch because he had no plans for the afternoon.

The "little padded jacket" at home followed Lu Lingqi's example and picked up a fan to fan Lan Tian's ears. Lan Tian enjoyed family happiness with his wife and daughter very comfortably.

"Mother, Qing'er's hands are sore." Lan Qing complained after a while.

Lu Lingqi rolled her eyes at her daughter, "Are your hands sore so soon? I will teach you the basic skills from tomorrow, and you have to pass on my martial arts."

"Ah? Then Qing'er is not sour anymore." Lan Qing changed her words urgently.

When Lan Tian heard the conversation between the two, the corners of his mouth turned up and he almost laughed out loud, thinking that women are really fickle.
