Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 88
Lan Tian waved the copper scissors intently, and when he heard Zhang Fei's familiar voice, he straightened up and turned his head in surprise: "Why are you here? Plateau, first take General Zhang and the military adviser to the city to rest. Come."

Zhang Fei replied: "It's okay, we'll wait for you, anyway, it's still early to leave for dinner."

Zhuge Liang held his fan and said with a smile: "I have been suppressing the rebellion in the south for the past two months, and Yide's appetite is not very good, so I will be fine when I come to Wuxun."

Seeing Zhang Fei's naive look, Lan Tian said to Gao Yuan, "Ask someone to prepare some food and wine to satisfy General Zhang's hunger."

"Wei." Gao Yuan clasped his fists in response.

"Ziyu, are you not cooking anymore?" Zhang Fei was a little disappointed.

"Some skills are not worth mentioning. I have taught many people now. Do you want to learn Yide?" Lan Tian asked.

Among the fifty students selected by Li Yang, in addition to learning agricultural knowledge from Lantian, some of them were also interested in cooking, so Lantian generously taught some home cooking.

"I'm used to Zhangba Snake Spear, but I'm not used to holding kitchen utensils." After Zhang Fei shook his head, Zhuge Liang and Lan Tian both smiled.

It was almost noon at this time, and the scorching sun in the sky climbed to the highest point. Lan Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked out from the middle of the rice field. After cleaning the mud at the edge of the field, he rode back to Linwu County with Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang.

Gao Yuan knew that Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang were distinguished guests, so he brought Li Yang back from Xindengzhuang to help cook. Whether it was agronomy or cooking, this fellow from Lantian was outstanding.

After Lantian came to Wu County, he lived in the County Wei's House and worked with Gan Ning.

In the past year, Lantian has directly delegated his authority, but instead focused his energy on farming.

County magistrate Li Zhao and county magistrate Zhang Chang were still in charge of government affairs in the county, Gan Ning was in full charge of defense, and Gao Shun was still in charge of immigration management in Xinye.

With such a simple operation, the people in Linwu County can live and work in peace and contentment.

Lantian put on new clothes and came out to meet each other. Zhuge Liang praised him head-on: "Just now we walked through the streets and alleys and saw that the people are happy and the law and order are good. Linwu County seems to be prosperous. Ziyu has political talents, and he will shoulder the heavy burden for the Lord in the future. .”

"Actually, I didn't do anything. I left the military and government affairs to others. I only dealt with some important matters occasionally. The military adviser must not be so flattering." Lan Tian was still humble.

Zhuge Liang pointed at him and said with a smile: "This is exactly what great talents do. Wouldn't it be exhausting to do everything by yourself? Ziyu really knows this well."

Lan Tianxin said that I can be so praised for doing nothing?

At this moment, Zhang Fei suddenly asked: "Ziyu, Gao Yuan said that you are looking for male sterile rice. What does that mean? Is the rice divided into male and female?"

Zhuge Liang didn't know much about agriculture, so he waited curiously for Lan Tian's answer.

Lan Tian nodded and explained: "The flowers of most plants are hermaphroditic. There are stamens and pistils in the flowers, which are pollinated by bees, butterflies and other insects, and then breed and bear fruit."

Zhang Fei seemed to have opened the door to a new world. He said in surprise: "It turns out that little flowers are so magical."

"Ziyu, you are busy in the rice fields. Could it be that man is interfering with sex?" Zhuge Liang seemed to understand something.

"Well, through artificial improvement, the cultivated seeds will become better and better, and the yield will naturally increase." Lan Tian said.

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and praised: "Ziyu is really a genius in the world, Liang is convinced."

"What the hell is that male sterile plant?" Zhang Fei scratched his head and asked, because he didn't think it was a good word.

"It's a special kind of rice, which is very important for cultivating high-yielding rice seeds." Lan Tianxin said that I really took out Yuan Lao's papers, even Zhuge Junshi couldn't understand them, because the knowledge span is too large. It doesn't matter to people in this day and age.

"Oh..." Zhang Fei seemed to understand.

On the eve of dinner, Gan Ning came back from his military affairs outside. He walked inside and said loudly: "Sir, the martial arts lecture hall has been completed according to your request. When do you see when the class will start?"

"Military advisor, General Zhang." Gan Ning walked in and found Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei approaching, he immediately bowed to them with fists together.

"General Gan, please sit down. I heard that Linwu is not picking up things on the road now, it's all thanks to the general." Zhuge Liang laughed.

Gan Ning quickly said, "It's all because the teacher taught me well, I just followed orders."

Zhuge Liang knew about Gan Ning's situation, and even heard that he had fought against Zhao Yun and Guan Yu. His bravery was naturally nothing to mention, but this kind of rude soldier was actually subdued by Lan Tian.

"Is the military division flat barbarian effective?" Lan Tian changed the subject and asked.

"It's all mobs. Before I can do anything, those Yue people surrendered." Zhang Fei said disdainfully.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Guiyang has been established for hundreds of years, and Baiyue and Han people have been integrated for many years. It's just because of conflicts in language and interests, and the Yue people often use force to fight fiercely. When encountering Yide, they have to be soft. It will take time for him to be convinced, and it can only be subtly influenced, and it will be beneficial to both."

Lan Tian responded: "You can't blindly adopt Huairou, otherwise the interests of the Han people will be damaged. Xingba implements a policy of equal treatment in Linwu, and I think the effect is not bad."

"General Gan still has the ability to calm barbarians? Liang wants to ask more advice." Zhuge Liang said, cupping his hands.

How could Gan Ning dare to accept Zhuge Liang's gift, he immediately stood up with his fists clasped and said, "This matter is not due to Gan Ning, if there is no master's plan to control the barbarians, Linwu would not have the harmonious ethnic relations it has today."

"Using the barbarians to control the barbarians? Ziyu has an ingenious plan that cannot be kept privately, can you explain to Liang?" Zhuge Liang turned his head and asked again.

Lan Tian smiled slightly and said: "Baiyue frontier people still eat rice, soup and fish, and cultivate fire. They are far behind in production than the Han people. Conflicts are inevitable in the process of national integration. You can use the leaders and leaders with broad knowledge to let them Assisting local officials in handling ethnic conflicts will make governance smoother."

"Wonderful, military advisor, I have already told my elder brother that Lan Ziyu's head is different from others'." This time even Zhang Fei understood.

"If it wasn't for Yide's greed this time, Liang almost missed a good strategy. You can drink as much as you want later." Zhuge Liang laughed.

"Aren't you going back to Chen County today?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise.

"Come back tomorrow." Zhuge Liang said.

"The military division is wise."

Hosted a banquet for Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei, and Lan Tian called Gao Shun to accompany him. Although this guy didn't drink alcohol, he had a hard time eating meat, but he couldn't forget this loyal man.

During the banquet, everyone chatted happily. Zhuge Liang remembered that Gan Ning had mentioned the martial arts hall earlier, so he asked, "Ziyu, what does General Gan mean by the martial arts hall?"

Gao Shun's face changed suddenly after hearing this, and he thought that if Liu Bei found out that you set up a general school, wouldn't you be suspicious?
Gao Shun kept winking at him, but Lan Tian said frankly: "I have recently taught fifty apprentice farmers, and they have played a role in promoting planting techniques, so I feel that I am going to set up a lecture hall in the camp." Let General Gao and General Gan also teach a group of apprentices who use soldiers."
