Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 137 Sun Quan's Conspiracy
In addition to preparing classrooms, Quanling Academy also arranged residences for craftsmen from all over the world. Lan Tian made the academy independent of Literary Cao's jurisdiction, and he, the prefect, also served as the sacrificial wine.

When setting up the Quanling Academy, Lantian was only proficient in agriculture, and the division of labor skills of those craftsmen was subtle and complex, so he expanded the scale of the school again and again.

The purpose of Quanling Academy is short-term training, and there is no need to master all of a subject, because the cycle of cultivating talents is too long. Lantian can't afford it, Liu Bei can't afford it, and Lingling's tax can't afford it.

Except for the longer practice period of the agricultural subject, the study time for the other six major craftsmen is five to 20 days. After completing the studies, a small number of students flow into the private sector, and most of the students are absorbed by the county.

In addition to farming, Lantian also planned to set up a county-owned factory to mass-produce weapons and armor for the army.

The woodworking department is divided into seven classes, teaching woodworking, corresponding to seven types of work: wheel, yu, bow, hut, carpenter, car, and catalpa.

Wheel people make wheels; Yu people make carriages; Bow people make bows; Lu people make the handles of spears, spears, halberds and other long weapons; craftsmen build houses and palaces; Manufactures musical instrument hangers, drinking vessels and archery targets.

Metal engineering is divided into six classes, teaching smelting and processing, corresponding to six types of work: building, smelting, mallard, chestnut, Duan, and peach.

The Zhu family made knives; the Ye family made weapons such as spears and halberds; the Fu family made clocks; the Li family made measuring instruments; the Duan family forged farm tools; the Tao family forged swords.

The leather engineering department is divided into five classes, teaching leather manufacturing, corresponding to the five types of work of Han, Bao, Wei, Wei, and Qiu.

The Han people make leather armor; the Bao people make leather; the Kai people make leather drums; the Weishi people make cooked leather; the Qiu people make fur clothes.

Color engineering is divided into five classes, teaching painting, dyeing and weaving, corresponding to five types of work: painting, silk, bell, basket, and scarf.

Hua is a painter; Bian is an embroiderer; Zhong is responsible for dyeing feathers; Basketman is responsible for coloring cloth, silk and other fabrics; Jinhuang boils silk and silk until they are soft and white.

The scraping department is divided into five classes, which teach carving, corresponding to five types of work: jade, bamboo, carving, arrow, and chime.

Jade people make jade wares; Mu people make combs, etc.; Carvers carve bone horns; Ya people make arrows; Qing people make chimes.

The Boxing Department is divided into two classes, teaching ceramic manufacturing, corresponding to pottery and pottery, two types of work.

The pottery people make pottery; the Gu people make pottery gui (pottery for serving rice).

Because of the huge variety of subjects, many artisans were not found in the four counties of Jingnan. Lantian also asked Pang Tong to find some in Jiangling, and barely got all the teachers of each subject.

After listening to Lan Tian's introduction, Gao Shun was amazed, and couldn't help sighing: "I don't think there are so many skills in the world. These are all skills that can survive. It is really kind of you to run a school."

"Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish. This is the power of knowledge." Lan Tian said.

In March of the 14th year of Jian'an, when Lantian was preparing to build a school, Sun Quan was unable to go to Hefei for several months. Considering that the two fronts in Jiangdong were fighting, and the supply of food and soldiers was tight, he took the initiative to withdraw to Wujun.

I wanted to take advantage of the remaining power of Chibi's victory to pull out Hefei, so that the naval warships from Jiangdong could go to the hinterland of the Central Plains via Huaisi to fight for hegemony.

After Sun Quan returned to Wujun, Lu Su happened to come back to urge food.

"How is the battle in Jingzhou?" Sun Quan said in his heart that Chibi played well, and guessed that the subsequent battles should also be good.

Lu Su replied respectfully: "Liu Qi sent Huang Zhong to capture Jiangling, and Guan Yu, who was in charge of the Juebei Road, also captured Xinye."

"Where is the governor? How is Xiangyang?" Sun Quan asked.

"The city of Xiangyang is solid, and the defenders are quite tenacious. Now the governor is still at loggerheads with Cao Ren."

Sun Quan frowned, "These two companies have achieved their respective goals, but I, Jiangdong, didn't get any benefits?"

Lu Su analyzed: "The governor defeated hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops in Wulin. Cao Cao has been unable to go south in a short time. This should be the greatest benefit."

"I have seen Cao Jun's tenacity in Hefei before. I just didn't expect Liu Qi to be able to break through Jiangling. If Gongjin can't take Xiangyang, I should discuss with the two of them. I can't let my Jiangdong family suffer." Sun Quan said with a serious face.

"My lord, Liu Qi sits in the four counties in Jingnan, and now he has full wings in Jiangling. We can't treat him like before, but Liu Shijun."

"How is Liu Xuande?"

"When I passed through Jiangxia, Liu Shijun once said that the governor worked hard. If Xiangyang cannot be conquered for a long time, he will send the captured Xinye to him."

Sun Quan was puzzled: "Liu Xuande is so benevolent? What is he trying to do?"

"When Liu Shijun harassed Cao Cao's defeated army, he obtained a lot of supplies. He probably wanted to make friends with me in Jiangdong and fight against Cao Cao together." Lu Su guessed.

Sun Quan nodded in thought, Xinye is far away from Jiangdong and there is no danger to defend, but if it is firmly occupied here, it will cut off the connection between Xiangfan and the Central Plains, and Xiangfan will fall into his own hands sooner or later because the supply line is interrupted. The risk is a bit risky, but the benefits very big.

"Liu Xuande is sincere. Zijing is here to discuss with Gongjin. Although Xinye is a small county, it is also a stronghold for going north to the Central Plains. It is also connected to the Jianghan waterway, so it will be very convenient to come and go." Sun Quan instructed.

"I'll go back and tell the commander-in-chief that the soldiers are tired after several months of attacking the city, so they can go to Xinye to rest. Last time I proposed to marry Liu Shijun."

Sun Quan slapped his forehead fiercely, "I've been fighting hard in Hefei for the past few months, and I almost forgot Zi Jing's words. I'm going to discuss with my younger sister. Now that Liu Qi is sitting in Jingzhou, it would be good to win over Liu Xuande."

"My lord is wise."

After Lu Su left, Sun Quan came to Sun Shangxiang's residence, where the girl was practicing marksmanship.

Seeing Sun Quan walk in, Sun Shangxiang threw the pear flower gun aside, "Why do you have time to come here, brother?"

"Isn't my little sister fond of practicing swords? Why did you suddenly start practicing guns?" Sun Quan was puzzled.

"Women are weak, so it's a disadvantage to practice swords," Sun Shangxiang complained.

"Although marksmanship is skillful, it also requires strength. Could it be that someone beats you with strength in swordsmanship? If you are famous, brother will make the decision for you." Sun Quan laughed.

"Really?" Sun Shangxiang was delighted.

"I am the lord of Jiangdong, and my words must mean what I say." Sun Quan smiled and patted his chest.

"Liu Xuande has a guard named Zhao Zilong, and it was his sword that shot me down with brute force in Chaisang." Sun Shangxiang was full of grievances.

"No wonder you were depressed on the way back, but that Zhao Yun is not some kind of guard, he is a general under Liu Xuande's tent, and he has the bravery of a man, it's normal that you are no match for him, little sister."

"Ah General? This way, my brother will definitely not be able to vent my anger on me." Sun Shangxiang was a little disappointed at first, but when he heard that Zhao Yun had undeserved courage, he immediately felt very relieved.

Sun Quan shook his head helplessly, suddenly he remembered his purpose, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "I have a plan, which can make Zhao Yun bow to my little sister."

"Brother isn't joking with little sister, is he?" Sun Shangxiang looked disbelieving.

"This is absolutely true." Sun Quan was very sure.

"The plan will come out?"

"Little sister, if you marry Liu Xuande, Zhao Yun will become your retainer."

"Ah this."
