Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 774 An Unexpected Visitor From Chengdu

"No, sir. Then Peng Yi's actions against Meng Lang have offended Zhuge Kongming and the King of Hanzhong successively. It is considered benevolent and righteous for you to keep him in Jiaozhou. Would it be too childish to use him as the county guard? This man is not even the prefect of Jiangyang. Jiuzhen and the prefect of Hepu may not be able to catch his eyes." Gao Shun quickly dissuaded him.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "There is a saying in my hometown that 'foreign monks can recite scriptures'. If Peng Yi had no political ambitions, he would not listen to other people's suggestions and ask to be transferred to Jiaozhou as an official. This person still has some talents. It just needs to be polished and let it be a test for the power of the sheriff."

Gao Shun was startled when he heard this, and thought that Buddhism is something that came from here, monks are rare in Middle-earth, how could there be such a saying in Mr.'s hometown.

"Mr. has considered the whole situation. In addition, when Jiaozhou is now employing people, it is understandable to include Peng Yi in the investigation. When Jiaozhi is controlled in the future, the population and money and grain of Jiaozhou will nearly double. The so-called sir The granary will be truly realized, and I really look forward to that day." Gao Shun sighed.

"After the breeding of Champa rice is completed and fully promoted in various places, you will see that the grain warehouses in various places are full." Lan Tian clenched his fists and expressed his confidence.

Gao Shun listened to the reminder: "Since Champa rice is so miraculous, sir, if it is cultivated outside Guangzhou, will it be stolen to Wei and Soochow? If this thing is shared by the enemy and us, what will the consequences be?"

"If Boping hadn't reminded me in time, I would have almost made a big mistake of 'referring to the enemy'. I will arrange it tomorrow and change the experimental field of Champa rice." Lan Tian looked grateful.

"Why don't you move to Jieyang? The terrain is flat and the land is fertile. In order to protect the kelp, the Wuxi barbarians have kept a close check on outsiders. In addition to cooking rice, agricultural researchers can also bring kelp to raise seedlings. This is the way to kill two birds with one stone." .” Gao Shun made a suggestion.

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "It is often said that eggs cannot be put in the same basket at the same time, otherwise they will all be broken if they touch each other. Besides, the environment in Jieyang is not the best in Jiaozhou."

"What do you mean, sir?" Gao Shun asked.

Lan Tian replied: "Let's put it on Zhuya Island. Li Yi's navy can take care of it. We might as well build an agricultural college on Zhuya Island. While cultivating Champa rice, we can train agricultural students. I wrote several agricultural books in my spare time. It should be enough to be used as a teaching material for the time being.”

"Zhuya Agricultural College? I always knew that one day, if Mr.'s agricultural knowledge is not passed on, it will definitely be a loss to the whole country, but I never thought that you would build it on Zhuya Island." Gao Shun shook his head with a smile.

Lantian Zhengse said: "Zhuya Island has plenty of sunshine, which is very suitable for crop growth. It is very good to have the Agricultural College there, and it is isolated from the world and will not be mixed with fine work."

"Since the master has made a decision, I will send the Wuxi Man from Guangzhou to Zhuya as soon as possible. It has been a few days since the Huben Martial Hall was completed, and they happen to have nothing to do now." Gao Shun replied affirmatively.

"No hurry, let them rest for a few more days." Lan Tian waved his hand lightly.

In the next few days, Gao Shun ordered the soldier Cao to arrange various matters according to Lantian's requirements. Because Gao Shun's personal ability to handle government affairs was also outstanding, he was only in charge of the soldier Cao so that he could handle things with ease. I went to Lantian as a guest, and I enjoyed it even if I didn't speak the whole time.

On June 27, when the passenger ship from Chengdu arrived in Panyu, Lan Tian led Gao Shun, Jiang Wan, and their two sons to meet him at the pier.

I thought Pang Tong, the young phoenix, would come out of the boat, but it turned out to be Zhuge Liang, the Crouching Dragon with a feather fan and a scarf, and General Huwei Zhao Yun led a team to escort him.

"Military division? How could it be you." Lan Tian greeted Zhuge Liang in surprise.

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and stroked his beard: "Ziyu probably guesses that it is Shiyuan (Pang Tong)? Hahaha."

"I can't hide it from you." Lan Tian shook his head.

"Mr. Ziyu." Zhao Yun cupped his fists and saluted.

Lan Tian nodded, "General Zilong, long time no see."

"Prime Minister, General Zilong"

"General Gao, don't drive Jiang!"

"Consort, Second Young Master."

A group of people gathered around the pier to exchange greetings, Jiang Wan pointed to the sky and suggested: "It will be noon soon, the sun here is stronger than that in Chengdu, everyone should go back to the city to catch up on the old days?"

"Very good." Zhuge Liang smiled and waved his feather fan, agreeing with Jiang Wan's opinion.

Lan Tian turned around and told Lan Yuan, "Boyang, arrange for someone to open the way."

"Wei." Lan Yuan had just bent down with his fists in his arms, and Lan Ji took the initiative to ask Ying to say: "Brother, I will open the way for you."

"Uh" Lan Yuan was at a loss.

Lan Tian smiled and waved: "Go."

Zhuge Liang looked at Lan Ji first, and then turned his head to look at Lan Yuan. Both of them were not too different from him, so he laughed and joked: "The two young masters are really dragons and phoenixes among men. The second young master is almost as good as the son-in-law. I'm afraid it will surpass Yunchang."

"It's ashamed to say that the two children should follow their elder father." Although Lan Tian said so, he didn't have a trace of inferiority in his heart, which can be regarded as improving the genes of the Lan family.

"Yun Chang, Yi De, and Zi Long are already enemies of ten thousand people. Now that the Lan family has added two more members, Little Wenhou, why worry about the uncertainty of the world? Liang thinks that in a few years, he will be able to point his sword at the mountains and rivers." Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.

Lan Tian replied mysteriously: "Maybe it won't take that long, military adviser, we will talk about it in detail after we enter the city."

"Oh? Let's go quickly." Zhuge Liang was aroused.

More than a hundred people rode horses out of the port. It was the first time for Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun to visit Jiaozhou. They had seen many beautiful scenery along the way, but the grandeur of the sea also made them feel heroic.

The coconut wind and sea charm on the coast made them feel the exotic atmosphere. When they entered the city of Guangzhou, they saw the wide streets and the well-proportioned architectural layout. Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun unconsciously looked at Lantian, thinking that Lantian is the same for urban planning. How powerful?
Under the leadership of Lan Ji, everyone entered through the south gate. Zhao Yun pointed to the wooden sign beside the road and exclaimed: "Military Master, look at the sign."

"Fengchu Street? Hahaha, it's really easy for Ziyu to choose a name, but it's a pity that the lord didn't let Shiyuan (Pang Tong) come." Zhuge Liang reined in the horse and laughed.

Lan Tian said meaningfully: "Military commander, don't laugh, the main road in the east of the city is called Wolong Street"

"Uh Ziyu, you really save trouble." Zhuge Liang smiled awkwardly.

There were more than a hundred guards who followed, but only a few dozen horses were left in the central government area. After Zhuge Liang inquired, he found out that in this area full of government offices, horses are not allowed to walk except in special cases, and the feeling of being respected immediately flooded heart.

Lantian concentrated the yamen in the same area, which greatly improved the communication of government orders and the cooperation among various yamen. Zhuge Liang kept the layout of Guangzhou city in his heart, and he believed that good things can be copied for reference.

Having seen the magnificence of the city of Guangzhou, everyone came to the gate of the State Shepherd's Mansion. The reception banquet had already been arranged. When Lan Tian got off his horse, he asked Jiang Wan to notify the officials with a salary of more than [-] shi to come to the banquet.

When a few people entered the main hall of the state capital, a table had already been set up inside, and Zhuge Liang was invited to sit on the upper seat.

"Ziyu, what did you mean at the pier just now?" Zhuge Liang asked straight to the point.

Lan Tian smiled and replied: "Just a few days ago, I received news that Sun Quan is gathering troops in Huainan, and it seems that he intends to compete with Cao Pi. Does the military adviser think it is time to take Liangzhou?"
