Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 669 I know I'm following the wrong person

Lan Tian learned from Gan Ning's messenger that Sun Quan wanted to resume trade, he frowned and did not give an answer immediately.

Jiang Dong has just paid heavy war compensation, how much purchasing power is left now?Lan Tian believed that after two blows, Sun Quan should treat Jingzhou cautiously, and the chance of continuing to backstab is slim.

It's just that for such a habitual offender, Lan Tian feels that letting them go is easy to cause accidents. Although closing the Yangtze River cuts off Jiangdong's secret operations, it also cannot grasp the other party's situation, so Lan Tian has been hesitating when it is appropriate to open it.

Back at the post station in Jieyang County, Lantian asked Gao Shun to pack his bags and prepare to leave for Guangzhou early tomorrow morning.

"Fu Jun, are you leaving now?" Tan Dingzhou asked cautiously.

Lan Tian nodded and replied, "I have been in Jieyang for a long time. The kelp farming here is basically no problem. In the later stage, we must manage the offshore area and prevent fishermen from entering the kelp farming area by mistake. This is our strategic reserve."

"The output of cultured kelp is so huge, when can it be put on the table of the common people? The wild kelp on the market is too expensive." Tan Dingzhou asked again.

Lan Tian replied: "When the kelp breeding technology matures, we can expand production in Jieyang, and then we can push it to the market in large quantities. It is estimated that next year there will be almost one season of breeding."

Sha Moke suddenly scratched his head and said, "Isn't the art of raising kelp exclusive to our barbarians? In the future, we will let other people raise it? My people are not as smart as the Han people. I'm afraid they won't be able to compare with the number of people."

"The current scale is not enough. The demand for kelp is huge. Your tribe alone can't satisfy it. But don't worry about competition in the future. I will list their kelp as a military supply. After it is dried, it will be purchased and stored by the government. Are you still afraid of others competing for profit?" Lan Tian smiled.

"Mr. is such a good official, I knew I was following the wrong person." Shamoke was very happy.

Shamo kept his mouth open, causing Lan Tian to shake his head lightly. Tan Dingzhou cupped his hands and continued to ask for instructions: "Your Majesty is leaving this time, and he probably won't be coming again in a short time. I wonder if you have any other instructions?"

"The people who moved to Luling should be properly resettled. In addition to strictly implementing the tax reduction and exemption for the first two years, more officials should be sent to guide production and life. Only when they really live and work in peace and contentment can they take root here, otherwise they will leave in the future." Lan Tian nodded slightly.

"The population of Longchuan and Jieyang has suddenly increased by tens of thousands, and the original allocation of officials has been seriously insufficient. The lowly position just wants to apply for an increase in manpower." Tan Dingzhou turned the corner and brought the topic to the lack of people.

"However, there are such difficulties. The lack of grassroots officials in Longchuan and Jieyang will indeed affect the local governance work. You should immediately make a list of vacancies, and I will find a way to arrange a batch for you urgently." Lan Tian stroked his beard and said. .

"Thank you, Mr. Fu," Tan Dingzhou hesitated to speak.

"Do you have any thoughts on your own?" Lan Tian was good at observing his words, Tan Dingzhou's expression did not escape his eyes.

Tan Dingzhou thought for a while, and plucked up the courage to answer: "Because half of the people who moved in were Yue people, I was worried that the Han officials would not communicate well, so I picked some Yue people to follow, and planned to let them fill the civilian management area. "

Lan Tian understands now that Tan Dingzhou and Sha Moke have the same idea. One person attains Taoism and ascends to heaven. When he encounters an opportunity, he plans to take his own people to eat at the public house. However, what Tan Dingzhou said is the truth, poor management of ethnic areas can easily lead to confrontation , It will affect the follow-up management of the government, and it is easy to let the local government grow up if it is allowed to flow.

"Can they read and write?" Lan Tian was noncommittal.

"Some will." Tan Dingzhou replied awkwardly.

Lan Tian said solemnly: "If you don't know, you have to learn, otherwise it will affect the implementation of the state's internal government orders. Before Jiaozhou, many counties did not open schools because of insufficient teaching. With the rapid increase in the population of Longchuan, it is imperative to open Meng schools. I will arrange this matter when I return to Guangzhou."

"Would you like to be a Weiyue official?" Tan Dingzhou asked.

"You can send it down first, and I will also transfer some from the state. The official administration of Jiaozhou will carry out reforms, and assessments will be conducted every year. If the officials are not good, they can only be transferred from their original positions or dismissed. Now there are too many people. , The magistrates who are dawdling, don’t have a long time left, and it will become more and more difficult to be an official in Jiaozhou in the future, you have to choose those people to work hard, and there is no harm in learning more.” Lan Tian patted Tan Dingzhou shoulders.

"Why haven't you heard about this before?" Sha Moke was puzzled.

"In the past, the time was not ripe. Now that the Guangzhou Academy has been in operation for several years, there are many talents in governing the country. I will suspend the promotion of filial piety and integrity in Jiaozhou. In the future, if you want to be an official, you must enroll. The reforms will also be carried out at the same time. In short, in Jiaozhou under my rule, as long as there are no mediocre officials, you know this before Jiang Gongyan." Lan Tian smiled slightly.

Tan Dingzhou has been an official for a long time, and he knows the weight of Lantian's words just now. Suspending the promotion of filial piety is a violation of the ancestral system, and only Lantian has the courage. Tan Dingzhou was very moved when he knew the plan in advance, which shows that Lantian regarded him as a confidant look at.

"Although I don't quite understand, but I know that Mr. is comparable to a god, and what you came up with must be right." Shamoke scratched his head and smiled innocently, then suddenly remembered something, and chased after him to add: "By the way, I won't be with you tomorrow I’m back in Guangzhou, and I’ll take my troops to meet up after the next year’s expedition.”

Lan Tian nodded, "It's fine to stay and help the clansmen, but the northern border of Longchuan has to be taken care of. In case Ding Feng leads his troops to rob people, I will beat them back severely."

"If the Jiangdong rats still dare to come, I will definitely not let them slip away this time." Shamoke shook his fist.

Tan Dingzhou frowned after hearing this, and said worriedly: "It's no problem that General Sha is here. If he goes out with the army next year, the safety of Longchuan's side may be in danger."

"Don't worry, Dudu Tan. A lot of people have retreated from the army before. They are all experienced in combat. All the counties are waiting for me to go back to make specific decisions. Taking advantage of this major reform of the government in Jiaozhou, I will give more to Longchuan. , Jieyang, some veterans, they can keep the place safe and stable, as for the Jiangdong soldiers in the direction of Luling, they just need to set up more guard posts on the border, there is no need to be in fear all day long, Sun Quan has no courage to stroke our tiger's whiskers now." Lan Tian's eyes were firm.

"Mr. is right at all. Let's not be afraid of the Jiangdong rats. If they dare to come to give military merits, I can't ask for it." Sha Moke agreed with a smile, and then comforted Tan Dingzhou: "The soldiers in the formation are so powerful, you haven't seen them yet." Have you seen it before? With them guarding the place, it’s really overkill, but the place is safe and secure.”

Tan Dingzhou nodded embarrassingly, and said to himself that I had seen the soldiers before you. Back then, I was still called Abu, but he was just a little leader of the Yue people's cottage. If he hadn't encountered Lantian at that time, he might still be hunting in the mountains now.
