Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 921 Lan Yuan's Special Gift

From September last year to March next year, Lantian spent half a year adjusting the layout, and finally stabilized Yangzhou after the drastic changes.

Except for Sun Shao, who was seriously ill and elderly, the Huaisi scholars were divided into three, and almost all "leaved". Some people went to serve in Yuzhang County, while most people headed by Zhang Zhao stayed in Jiaozhou.

During the Jiangdong Mission’s visit to Jiaozhou, they were shocked by the prosperity and openness of Guangzhou City. The comfortable life, bustling markets, dazzling array of goods, and smiling people fully demonstrated the charm of this city.

Many people wanted to stay, including some Jiangdong gentry, such as Wu Fan, who was good at magic and astronomy, and couldn't move his legs after reading the books in Guangzhou Academy.

It took only a few years for Guangzhou to build a city, and it was built on barren land. On the contrary, Wudu Jianye was expanded based on Moling.

Guangzhou City came from behind and proved Lantian's ability with facts, which shows that Soochow's failure is almost inevitable.

During the mission's visit to Guangzhou, Jiang Wan, according to Lan Tian's suggestion, gave three resettlement plans to those who were willing to stay.

For those who have not been rewarded for their official careers, Jiaozhi, Hepu, Jiuzhen, Nichinan and other new counties and counties still have a large number of vacancies for real power positions, which can be provided for them to flex their muscles;

Elderly people who are tired of official career, go to the prefectural and county-level yamen to serve as vacant staff members, and the salary will be paid according to the original Soochow;

Those who are disheartened in their official careers will retire in big cities such as Guangzhou and Guangxin, and will be paid 1.5 times the original salary of Soochow.

Jiaozhou's resettlement plan is comprehensive, taking care of people with various needs, and the high treatment shocked the Jiangdong mission. They did not expect that the wild Jiaozhou had become so prosperous.

The gentry in this era only know how to infiltrate, fighting for the existing interests and ruining their families, but Lantian, who has a higher vision, is different. He deeply understands that wealth is made, rather than fighting for three melons and two dates. If there is no flow, it is better to make the cake of profit infinitely bigger, and what is in the pot will naturally be in the bowl.

Zhang Zhao was later designated as a prefecture by Jiang Wan. As for the "victors" Jiangdong gentry, they are now more powerful than they were during Sun Quan's time.

In the newly established Liucao Yamen in Yangzhou, the principals are all from the local clans, namely, Gu Yong, the chief of Li Cao, Xie Fei, the chief of household Cao, Zhang Wen, the chief of Li Cao, Lu Xun, the chief of Bing Cao, Zhu Huan, the chief of Criminal Cao, and Kong, the chief of Gong Cao. Zhu.

Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang Zhanqi, the four major surnames in Wu County, and the four major surnames in Kuaiji also occupied the two seats of Kong and Xie. If Yu Fan did not surrender in advance, at this time, with his reputation, he could also occupy a seat.

Lantian's "generosity" made the Jiangdong gentry reciprocate, and the vacancies of the Huaisi faction and the Sun clan, including many assistant official positions in the Liucao Yamen, let Lantian transfer civilian talents from Jiaozhou to fill them. The euphemistically called Jiaozhou officials are more familiar New yamen.

Lu Xun served as the head of the army and commanded the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong in the past. The gentry still provided money and food to support them. They naively thought that the private soldiers originally raised by the big clan were now only renamed and put under the control of "one of their own" Lu Xun. The military system, but only Lu Xun knows the real situation, the Jiangdong private military system no longer exists.

With the guarantee of money and food, the front line of Ruxu started to move in the spring. Gan Ning was appointed by Lantian as the prefect of Lujiang. County actions.

During Gan Ning's raid on Linhu, Lanyuan, who went to visit his relatives in Guangzhou, returned to Jianye and brought to Lantian the local products prepared by Lu Lingqi, as well as a special gift he brought.

Gan Ning was stationed at Ruxuwu in Jiangbei, Lu Xun hadn't fully communicated with Lan Tian, ​​Hu Ke still kept aloof, Song Chen was sent to 'assist' in the Yangzhou newspaper, Lan Tian was alone in Jianye, and rarely opened to others Heart, usually either staring at the sand table in a daze in the room, or digging the soil in the small yard to prepare for planting.

When he learned that Lan Yuan was about to return, Lan Tian felt like an empty-nest old man, and walked to the gate of the courtyard to glance at it from time to time, before preparing meals for his son in an apron.

Hearing the horses neighing outside the courtyard, Lan Tian instinctively went to the steps outside the house, then Lan Yuan entered the door to salute, and Gao Ling brought his entourage into the courtyard to salute.

"Why did you bring so many things back?" Lan Tian was full of curiosity.

"Mother has prepared some, Uncle Gao has prepared some, Governor Jiang has prepared some, and the child has prepared some." Lan Yuan smiled like a flower.

Lan Tian frowned and asked: "It's fine for them to prepare, Boyang, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, you will like Boyang's gift." Gao Ling suddenly came over and interjected. He saw Lan Tian's recent anticipation, and said in his heart that General Lan was usually so strict, but he did not expect to have such a warm side. .

"Oh?" Lan Tian looked suspicious.

"Father, let's go to the backyard to talk." After saying that, Lan Yuan led Lan Yuan to the backyard. Seeing that Lan Tian had finished digging the soil and piled up manure, he smiled and said, "I know you can't be idle, look at this place." What is it?"

While Lan Yuan was talking, Gao Ling carried a boxy wooden box, which was covered with a cloth so that he couldn't see clearly.

"Your Majesty, this is Bo Yang's gift, please take a look at it yourself." Gao Ling smiled and approached with the wooden box in his hands.

"You two children, you are so mysterious." Lan Tian smiled and lifted the black cloth. Below is a cluster of seedlings several inches high. From the roots, branches and leaves, it can be seen that it is Champa rice, but the seedlings are bigger than Lan Yuan brought back from Linyi. Yes, it looks greener and stronger.

Lan Tian hurriedly asked Lan Yuan, "Champa rice breeding has been completed?"

Lan Yuan nodded, "It took Zhuya Agricultural College a year to select the best seeds for an acre from the [-]-acre experimental field. Governor Jiang plans to try planting in Cangwu this year. My son knows that my father will use Luling to leverage Jiangdong. , I asked for half of the seeds and gave them to Tan Taishou, and I brought you back some seedlings when the divisions were transplanted, you said that this kind of grain does not choose the land, right?"

"It is reasonable to say so." Lan Tian stroked his beard affirmatively, and then said to Gao Ling: "Yuanfeng, put down the seedlings and wash your hands quickly. I have someone prepare wine and vegetables, and let's clean up Boyang."

"You father and son haven't seen each other for a long time. There must be a lot to talk about. Boyang will go on a tour of the army later, and it won't be too late for my nephew to welcome him at that time." Gao Ling clasped his fists and responded with a smile. The same old-fashioned, but slightly more lively personality.

After a while, there is a small table in the backyard, and the table is full of Lan Yuan's favorite dishes.

The father and son had a warm sun above their heads, and they were sitting together talking about the affairs of Guangzhou. When Lan Tian asked about the situation at home, Lan Yuan blushed and was a little embarrassed.

It turned out that Liu Wan was pregnant unknowingly before going out in July last year. When Lan Yuan returned to Guangzhou to visit his relatives at the end of the year, the beautiful wife at home was already pregnant. Lu Lingqi couldn't go to Jianye.
