Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Page 121

Li Yang said proudly: "Your worries will not happen. The ducks in our farm are all raised in captivity, and they will never steal food and vegetables from the farm."

When Lan Tian heard that it was captive breeding, he was interested, so he asked: "How many ducks are there in captivity?"

"Not many, only five or six thousand." Li Yang replied.

These ducks are indeed not many in Wanhu's village, but from Li Yang's mouth, it seems that there is a kind of arrogance.

Lan Tian nodded: "Take me to the duck shed after dinner."

"only."

Chapter 244 I'm Coming

During the Three Kingdoms period, the land was sparsely populated, but Linwu County was planned ahead of time by Lantian, and the residential areas were relatively concentrated. Coupled with the habit he developed when farming the fields, Li Yang also managed the fields by category. The fertile fields were used to grow staple food, and the lesser Plant supplementary food and vegetables.

The duck sheds in Xindengzhuang are set up in the mountains to the north, and most of the reservoirs in the village are also concentrated in this area.

Tree branches and bamboo blocks are used as fences around, and a small area is formed around every two reservoirs, and three to five hundred ducks are raised in each small area.

Lan Tian originally thought that captive breeding was based on the family as a unit, but Li Yang directly engaged in large-scale breeding. Each area has a special person on duty, responsible for feeding food, cleaning duck manure, and guarding the duck shed.

Looking at everything in front of him, Lan Tian thought to himself that you can learn by yourself without a teacher, and the wisdom of the working people is really extraordinary.

"Young owner, how do you think the arrangement is? I think the reservoir needs to be watched anyway, otherwise the children in the village are likely to fall into it, and raising ducks in a circle can get the best of both worlds." Li Yang said while scratching his head.

Lan Tian nodded: "The building and arrangement of the duck shed is very good, but the biggest risk of captivity is plague, and there is no specialized veterinarian in the farm now, you must pay attention to this point, and once you encounter a sick duck, you must promptly select it and burn it. It can be landfilled, but it cannot be eaten.”

Li Yang said with a smile: "Young owner, don't worry, everyone can eat enough now, and they won't be so hungry. In addition to the poisonous mushroom incident when we first came, everyone attaches great importance to food safety, and the village is also cultivating food safety. veterinary……"

"That's good, you're a competent owner." After boasting, Lan Tian approached the fence, and saw that although there were many ducks inside, it was relatively tidy, and there was no scene of duck droppings all over the floor.

Farmyard manure is crucial to the growth of crops. These thousands of ducks are natural manure-making machines. They go through several rounds of cleaning every day, and then they are transported away by special personnel for disposal.

"Master Shao..." Li Yang asked cautiously again.

"What?" Lan Tian looked back at him suspiciously.

"The insecticide you mentioned at home just now..." Li Yang hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, after the development is successful, the first batch will be distributed to Xindengzhuang." Lan Tian replied affirmatively.

Li Yang smiled and said, "That's good, that's good..."

While the two of them were talking, the ducks in the duck pen not far from the east took off and landed collectively.

"What's going on?" Lan Tian asked suspiciously.

"I don't know." Li Yang was also confused.

"Let's go, let's take a look." Lan Tian walked quickly after speaking, followed by Li Yang, Gao Shun, Hao Pu and others.

Lan Tian walked forward quickly, and only halfway through he heard childish laughter.

Could it be that the five little ones have harmed the duck shed?

Everyone went to the fence and saw that it was indeed the five little ones who were making trouble. Each of them held a short bamboo stick in their hand, and several of them ran around chasing the ducks, while the children from the village stood by and watched.

"Brother, the enemy's reinforcements are coming, you protect the lord (A Dou) to break out from the back door, and Gan Gui and I will break the back." Lan Ji waved the bamboo stick and yelled softly, his appearance made people laugh.

Lan Yuan and A Dou looked at Lan Tian, ​​then took out the whistle in their arms and blew it. The children in the village swarmed after them, opened the small door to clean up the duck manure in the north and slipped away. Lan Ji and Gan Gui were indeed the last ones two people.

Lan Tian turned to look at Gao Shun, this group of children had known each other for less than two hours, and Lan Yuan was able to make them order and restrain them. You must not have taught this ability of domination, right?

"Sir, I'll follow and have a look." Gao Shun asked for instructions.

Lan Tian nodded and said, "Go ahead, let them have fun and don't cause trouble for the common people."

"Wei." Gao Shun clasped his fists and followed.

Gan Ning saw his son go crazy, so he also applied to Lan Tian to see the child.

"Boping, wait for me..."

Looking at the backs of Gao Shun and Gan Ning going away, Hao Pu complimented with a smile: "The one who whistled and broke the whistle just now is the son of General Lan, right? He really is a hero..."

"It's a little naughty, it's causing trouble for our owner Li..." Lan Tian shook his head and laughed at himself.

Li Yang said hastily: "The children are having fun, but it's too late for me to be happy. Xindengzhuang hasn't been this lively for a long time. Boys like to play war games."

Lan Tian: "Why isn't it lively? There should be quite a few children in the village, right?"

At first, when we were in Dengjiazhuang, Xinye, most of the villagers were refugees from the north, and most of them were unmarried due to poverty. After moving to Linwu County, life improved, and the old villagers got married and had children one after another, and the population of Xindengzhuang also increased accordingly. .

Li Yang scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "Master Shao, since we are talking about children, Xiao Li has a merciless request..."

"Child?" Lan Tian was full of doubts.

"It is said that the son inherited the father's business, and our ancestors farmed the land for generations to live. These children should be like this when they grow up, but I heard that the owner of Shaozhuang ran a school in Quanling to recruit children from common people in the head of Guizhou? The school not only has agricultural subjects , Craftsmanship, and Confucianism?"

"That's right, but all kinds of students are being accepted, not limited to the children of the noble family or the children of the common people."

Opening a school to break the blockade of the gentry against the class is actually going against the sky in this era. Even Lantian cannot spread it all over Jingnan. He opened the school in Lingling first from the study of agriculture and craftsman, and then with The way of fishing in troubled waters has joined Confucianism.

If it weren't for Lan Tian's high prestige and strong enough power under Liu Bei, he would have been tricked by the gentry long ago.

Lantian’s confidence comes from the common people. All his food and soldiers come from the people. Even if the gentry want to restrain them, they can’t find a point of strength. Therefore, most of the gentry’s children in Jingzhou are officials in Jiangling and Jiangxia. If they stay in Jingnan as officials, they should try to avoid them. Lingling County.

"I'm wondering if there are many bright-minded children in the village, can they be sent to study and read? Now there are more and more people in the village, and people who understand reason are needed to manage them..." Li Yang said hesitantly.

"You want to send the children from Xindengzhuang to Quanling Academy?" Lan Tian pointed out directly.

"Yes, yes." Li Yang nodded.

Lan Tian shook his head and said, "Quanling is still too far away from Linwu, and those children just now were too young to take care of themselves..."

Li Yang knew that Lantian's worries were objective. He looked at the prefect Hao Pu and suggested in a low voice: "Can you let the prefect Hao set up a school in Chen County to teach the children to read and write..."

"Ahem..." Hao Pu's scalp felt numb when he heard it. Teaching the son of Qianshou to read and write is not a trivial matter. Even though Guiyang County doesn't have any powerful gentry, he dared not do it.

"When I return to Quanling, I will ask Gongyan to pick two instructors and send them to Xindengzhuang, where I will hold two enlightenment classes. Little Li, you can prepare two big houses." Lan Tian said, pinching his chin.

Li Yang was overjoyed when he heard that, "Don't say two rooms, ten rooms will do."

Lan Tian nodded, planning to develop some group games for the children. It would not be a problem to play like crazy all day long. Looking at the square duck pen in front of him, he got inspiration.

Chapter 245 Linwu Greenery

Lan Tian hasn't come back to Laiwu for a long time, so Li Yang keeps him to live in the village for a few days.

Lantian planned to stay in Linwu for two or three days, and then return to Quanling by the northern waterway, so he asked Hao Pu to go back to Chen County to handle county affairs, instead of staying with Xindengzhuang.

Back in Xindengzhuang in the afternoon, Lan Tian asked Li Yang to find some craftsmen to sew a round 'football' out of animal skins according to his requirements. The twine forms a giant web.

Hearing that Lan Tian was making something new, and it was a 'toy' for the children, Lu Lingqi waited and watched for a while, then led the children back from the street.

"Uncle, what kind of toy is this?" Adou asked curiously.

Lan Tian smiled and replied, "Football."

"Football? Then how do you play football?" A Dou asked again.

"I will teach you tomorrow." Lan Tian said kindly.

Knowing that they can only play tomorrow morning, the five little ones rushed away again. Just after leaving the hospital, Lan Ji came back again, tilted his head and asked: "Father, we have a lot of people, you should do more..."

After Lan Ji finished speaking, he ran away in a flash, but Lan Tian smiled slightly and ignored him.

Li Yang said worriedly: "There are not many hunters left in Linwu County. If we really want to ensure that every child in the village has a football, this animal skin is simply not enough..."

Lan Tian said with a smile: "These are enough for now, and I will add more when there are more animal skins. Now you and I will choose a venue."

"Wei." Li Yang followed behind Lan Tian with a question mark on his face.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, Lan Tian and Li Yang found a relatively flat grassland under the uphill slope in the northwest of Xindengzhuang.

Lantian stands on the hillside and looks down. At the turn of autumn and winter, the weeds on the ground are withered and yellow, and smoke rises from Xindengzhuang not far away.

"It's really a good location. The next spring will return to the earth and the green grass will be a good time for children to play." Lan Tian said to himself.

Lan Tian took out a blueprint of the stadium that he had hand-painted from his arms, and asked people to use wooden sticks and twine to define the boundaries of the stadium, determine the positions of the goals on both sides and the length of the fixed wooden bars, and finally asked the accompanying soldiers to put the stones inside Clear All.

At dawn the next day, Lan Tian took the carpenter to the stadium to assemble the goal, and asked the painter to draw lines on the grass according to the drawings, and a simple football field was quickly formed.

Around Chenshi, Deng Ai brought many children to the football field, and the team of five little ones expanded quite quickly.

Seeing that there were only a few balls on the field, Lan Ji complained, "Father, why are there so few toys? Look at how many of us..."

Lan Tian explained with a smile: "This game is called football. 22 people play one ball. Now I have prepared five balls, which is more than enough."

The children were full of doubts, what's the point of 22 people grabbing a ball?

Lan Tian found a few Huotou from the army to serve as referees, and then explained the rules while demonstrating. Both the Huotou and the children listened with half understanding.

Afterwards, Lan Tian divided the children into groups according to height and size, and the five little ones from Lingling who were not much different in age were assigned to the same team.

Lan Tian asked for the whistle from Gao Shun, and as the referee began to direct the first ball game of the Three Kingdoms era, but after the opening game, except for the goalkeeper, the other [-] children rushed to grab the football.

Beep beep...beep beep...

The whistle on the field kept blowing, and the surrounding people were also baffled. Lin Wu Ling Xu An also came to the scene, wondering what kind of game General Lan is?Is it too complicated?

It is difficult to promote a sport, especially teaching from scratch. Lan Tian did not fully follow the rules of modern football. He believes that men need some blood, and physical collisions are essential.

Not long after the first game started, Lan Tian called the players aside.

He took out the schematic diagram of the formation in his arms and introduced: "Just now the offense and defense were disorderly. , center, and defender should work closely together, and they can choose positions according to their respective advantages. For example, Ji'er can be a striker because he can run flexibly and fast, and Yuan'er has a calm personality but can be organized as a center forward..."

"Uncle, I seem to be suitable as a goalkeeper." A Dou scratched his head and said.

Lan Tian nodded and said that you really know how to choose. The goalkeepers of strong teams are indeed leisurely, but the goalkeepers of weak teams are busy.

"You guys adjust the division of labor again. We will play the game within half an hour, and the rest of the teams are still waiting in line." Lan Tian clapped his hands and said.

After being reminded by Lan Tian, ​​the teenagers of the starting two teams finally started to run decently, and gradually cooperated with passing and catching the ball, and the enjoyment was much better than at the beginning.

The whistle sounded at half an hour, Lan Ji scored two goals, Gan Gui scored one goal, and ended the first game with a score of [-] to [-]. The team of Quanling's five little ones won.

Afterwards, the children from the two teams of Xindengzhuang continued to play. Just now they understood the general idea while listening to the sidelines. Lan Tian also handed over the referee's whistle to a Huotou.

The five little ones went to drink water after the game. When Lu Lingqi was wiping Lan Ji's sweat, she asked very puzzled: "Twenty people are running around a ball. Look at all of you sweating profusely. Is it really interesting?"

"Mom, this football is really fun. It's more fun than riding a wooden horse, hopscotch, or goat jumping, and it's not tiring at all." Lan Ji said excitedly.

"I'm not tired either." Adou said with a smile.

Lan Tian saw that the kid wasn't sweating much, and thought that you, the goalkeeper, are certainly not tired.

Gao Shun looked at Lan Yuan, who was drinking water, and said, "Sir, this football match is very much like two armies at war. Whether it is offense or defense, it seems to imply the art of war. Yuan'er just now looks like a general commanding the army..."

"I scored two goals, I'm the general." Lan Ji quickly claimed credit.

Gao Shun: "Uh... Yuan'er is a general, and Ji'er is a vanguard general..."

"Gan Gui is flexible and smart, Gao Ling dares to fight, A Dou defends the goal well, and the children play well. Now let's sit down and watch the game and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses by observing others." Lan Tian commented and praised like a head coach.

"Okay." The five little ones answered in unison.

Looking at the farm boy running on the field, Lan Tian said in his heart that I have advanced this sport again. Later, people have to strive for success. Why don't they hold a World Cup in the Han Dynasty after the unification?

There are many participants in football, and it takes a long time. You don’t have to worry about your safety when you run on the grass. Li Yang happily came to Lan Tian, ​​"Young Master, this football game is very good. In the future, the children will have another game to play with." place."

Lan Tian pointed to the surrounding area and said: "This place is very close to Xindengzhuang, the school can be built here, and children can play while studying."

"Wonderful, I'll start making arrangements tomorrow." Li Yang couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

At noon in autumn, the sun is not hot.

The sun shines on the golden millet and wheat fields, and the grains that are pressed as far as the eye can see, Lan Tian suddenly fell into deep thought.

2Chapter 16 The Real Purpose of Lantian

"Xiao Lizi, are there still many people growing corn and wheat in the village?" Lan Tian asked suddenly.

Li Yang replied: "The people who moved to Xinye are all from the north. Compared with the local staple food of rice, everyone still likes corn buns and steamed buns made of corn and wheat. Now [-]% of the people in the village are still farming."

"Is the corn and wheat planting method I taught passed down?" Lan Tian asked again.

"What you teach are survival skills. We must pass them on from generation to generation. In fact, after the improvement of the young farmer, the millet and wheat planted now not only have high yields but are also resistant to diseases and insect pests. They save time and effort compared to rice." Li Yang smiled. Say.

Lan Tian nodded, "The life of the people in the village is stable now. I want to move some young and strong people who can grow corn to farm the fields. I wonder if you can handle it here?"

Mr. Li Yang was startled, then patted his chest and said: "Now the rich life of Xindengzhuang is given by the owner of the young village. Everyone can't wait to follow to Quanling. Just tell me how many people you want? I will go back to mobilize in the afternoon. , I can go on the road with you tomorrow."
