Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Page 122

Lan Tian shook his head and explained: "Don't worry, I don't want to move people immediately, it may take a year or two, but these people are not going to Quanling with me, but to Yizhou to farm."

"Yizhou?" Li Yang was puzzled.

Lan Tian's eyes became resolute and deep, "To be precise, it is Guanghan County, Yizhou. My lord is now farming grain in Jiamengguan, Jiange, and Zitong. The terrain there is very similar to Linwu, but there are fewer rice fields and more land. , more suitable for planting millet and wheat.”

Li Yang suddenly realized that it is no wonder that Lantian must be young and strong who can grow millet and wheat.

"I heard that General Liu went to Sichuan to help his clan fight against Zhang Lu, so Liu Yizhou is not even willing to provide military rations?" Li Yang was very puzzled.

Lan Tian shook his head slightly, "Food and grass are the foundation of the army and the guarantee of life and death. How can we hand over life and death to outsiders? Besides, transporting grain from Chengdu to Jiameng Pass consumes a lot of money. It is best to grow grain locally."

Li Yang seemed to understand, "Although I don't understand military warfare, I only follow the order of the young village owner. How many farmers are needed? No, I will personally bring the villager into Shu."

Seeing Li Yang's sincerity, Lan Tian said movedly: "Xindeng Village is now a large village with ten thousand households. How can you, the owner, leave easily? You are still Mr. Deng's son-in-law..."

"What's the problem? I already have three sons and two daughters, two of them are named Deng, and one son is named Li like mine. The Young Master doesn't have to worry about me." Li Yang said proudly.

Lan Tianxin said, good guy, it seems that there are not many entertainment activities at night in the farmhouse, and the old Mr. Deng is still very open-minded, and let you spread the branches and leaves by yourself.

In fact, Li Yang has been honored by Lantian, and Deng Ai has become more diligent after apprenticeship, and will definitely be able to glorify the Deng family in the future, so the old Mr. Deng reciprocated.

Lan Tian then smiled and said: "Yizhou is still far away, you should give the opportunity to the young people. You could choose people from Quanling Academy, but I trust you the most. Just prepare 1000 to [-] people at that time."

"Wei." Li Yang almost shed tears when he heard the word most trustworthy.

Seeing that Li Yang was a little emotional, Lan Tian patted his back and said, "I won't let them migrate in vain. As long as they farm and grow food in the local area, I can serve them as village chiefs, village owners, or even township officials."

The interests of adults in the world are king, and feelings alone will disappear one day.

After hearing this, Li Yang said with a smile: "With the young owner's planting technology, and some improved seeds to increase production, if they can't become the owner, they will be considered incompetent. Many people from other places come to us to find son-in-law..."

Lan Tianxin said that this is all famous?He looked at Xu An, who was watching the game not far away, and added with a smile: "Xu County Magistrate is a good and pragmatic official. I will suggest that my lord transfer him there, and I can take care of it when the time comes. I heard that the girls in Yizhou are still there." quite gorgeous……"

"Young Master is too thoughtful, I guess there will be many people willing to enter Shu." Li Yang laughed.

Lan Tian nodded slightly: "This matter will be kept secret in advance, and I will notify in advance when the time comes."

"Don't worry, Young Master." Li Yang replied seriously.

This is the main purpose of Lantian's coming here. In history, in order to win the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to mobilize troops and transport food with all the strength of Yizhou, and paid the price of Yizhou's economic regression for several years.

Lantian allowed people from Tuntian to enter Sichuan, just because they did not want history to repeat itself.

After staying in Linwu County for three days, Lantian and his party transferred to Chenxian County and returned to Quanling. The children sweated on the football field. They were sharing tactics and reminiscing about the fun brought by football in the carriage.

Lu Lingqi heard the five little ones whispering on the horse, so she suggested to Lan Tian: "Since the children love football so much, why don't we build a stadium when we go back?"

Lan Tian nodded, "We can remodel the square in Quanling Academy so that students can play football in their spare time."

Lu Lingqi was startled, then she smiled and said, "Husband is really smart, Kongming is he really better than you?"

Lan Tian: "Xiaojun, you don't have to doubt at all, the talent of a military adviser is very comparable..."

"Husband is not an ordinary person, I think you are just modest..." Lu Lingqi muttered.

Lan Tian summoned Gao Shun and said, "Besides the training of the trapped army, you can also play football, which can not only relax but also unite people's hearts."

"That's exactly what I mean." Gao Shun nodded.

"There is space in the recruit camp of the Jiangwu Hall. We can build a stadium there, but it's a pity that Lu Tie..." After finishing speaking, Lan Tian regretted it. Isn't it a bit cruel to play in front of the disabled?

Gao Shun saw Lan Tian's worry, and replied: "Old Lu is more open-minded. You don't have to worry about him, sir. Sooner or later, football will be popular in the recruit camp. In fact, he can still be a lineman."

Lu Tie is a line judge in a wheelchair, and Lan Tian can only say that Lao Gao is a powerful and unconstrained style.

When changing lanes in Chen County, Lantian refused to go to the city for a banquet, but the prefect Hao Pu didn't force him, so he sent him to Leishui Wharf.

Before boarding the boat, Hao Pra looked at Lan Tian and whispered, "Magistrate Xu was born in a humble family, and his reputation is not very prominent in Guiyang. If he re-uses it rashly, others may be dissatisfied. Can General Lan..."

Lan Tian looked at Hao Pu meaningfully, and said in his heart that you want me to speak a few words to raise Xu An's reputation?Although he doesn't like to do this, he is willing to set an example for Jingnan officials.

"Prefect Hao, please don't worry, he will be famous in Jingzhou within half a year." Lan Tian nodded affirmatively.

Hao Pu was overjoyed, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, General."

After "Traveling in the Mountains and Water" and returning to Quanling, Lan Tian came to Quanling Academy to ask Jiang Wan to rebuild the football field, and asked him to find someone to compile the Analects of Confucius and prepare new textbooks for Confucian scholars.

If it is said that the Thousand-Character Essay is a primitive study created by Lantian, then the Analects of Confucius is really a Confucian classic. Jiang Wan also supports the increase of teaching materials, but is worried about the students of Confucianism.

"Agricultural students return to the fields after completing their studies, and artisan scientists enter the workshop after completing their studies. What will be the future arrangement for the children of Confucianism? Can't all be officials?" Jiang Wan asked suspiciously.

Lan Tian shook his head and smiled, "Am I a careless person? Gong Yan can rest assured, I have already thought about the children's future."

2Chapter 17 New Yamen

Lan Tian first took out a booklet from his arms, which was larger than a portable paper notebook and the same size as ordinary books in later generations.

Jiang Wan flipped through and found that there was not a single word in it, so she asked curiously, "Sir, what do you mean?"

"We want to add the Analects of Confucius textbooks to Confucianism. You organize the teaching and compile a edition first, and then lead the students to copy your own textbooks." Lan Tian explained.

"Now there are less than [-] students of Confucianism, so you can't just copy books for a lifetime?" Jiang Wan asked.

Lan Tian said with a smile: "Our Confucianism will not be limited to only a hundred people. We can copy more and leave them for later generations."

Jiang Wan nodded in agreement, but the doubts in his heart were still unresolved. The more scholars there were later, the faster the copying speed would be. How did the general settle this account?

"Remember to copy one page and leave two pages blank." Lan Tian continued to order, pointing to the empty book.

"But why?" Jiang Wan was even more puzzled.

"The blank space is for students to comment on the scriptures. In the future, we can extract good comments and then copy the commented version of "The Analects". The textbook can be revised every few years. We will take the essence and discard the dross." Lan Tian explained.

"If revisions are repeated, won't the old textbooks be discarded?" Jiang Wan asked worriedly.

Lan Tian laughed and said, "Aren't the scholars in the world limited to Jingzhou? Finding someone to sell to other states and counties will make a lot of money."

"Most of the scholars in the world are in the Central Plains, and now they are at odds with Cao Cao. Who do you plan to sell to, sir? The risk is huge." Jiang Wan asked again.

"Don't you hear that the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit? I have my own concerns about this matter." Lan Tian is full of confidence, "Das Kapital" is full of human greed, and it is easy to train a few red-capped businessmen, let alone He also has a ready-made caravan of Yue people.

"Wei." Jiang Wan cupped his hands in response.

Lan Tian took out another piece of folded paper from his bosom, which was about A3 size when fully unfolded. The material of the paper was delicate and flexible, and its thickness was also thicker than that of an empty book.

Except for the irregular lines, the paper is still blank without a word.

"This is again..." Jiang Wan thought, what is he going to copy?

Lan Tian pointed to the big paper and introduced: "I named this thing a newspaper. The reporter is also the report. On the paper, the facts of the counties, towns, states and counties are recorded, whether they are happy or worried or thinking or worrying, and then compiled into a document to report to the people. To know it, in order to achieve the effect of enlightening the wisdom of the people."

"A notice from the government?" Jiang Wan guessed.

Lan Tian nodded, "The effect is similar to that of a notice, but newspapers must be published on a regular basis, and the content of each issue should be different."

"Then how many sheets are transcribed in each issue?" Jiang Wan asked.

"It depends on the production speed of the paper mill and the hands-on ability of our Confucian scholars. They can copy as much as they can." Lan Tian replied with a smile.

Lan Tian planned to find some work for Confucian scholars first, and then find a way to develop movable type printing after the school really became popular among the people.

Jiang Wan was dumbfounded. Now he finally knew Lan Tian's plan. How many people would it take just to copy newspapers every day?No wonder he is confident in arranging Confucian scholars.

"Although Lingling is rich now, Mr. uses this method to enlighten the people's wisdom. If someone with ulterior motives sues the lord, he may criticize Mr. for wasting the people's energy and money..." Jiang Wan thinks that it is not advisable to use this method to settle Confucian scholars.

Lan Tian shook his head and said, "My lord has absolute trust in me. Gong Yan doesn't have to worry about me personally. Running a newspaper will not waste people's power, but it can unite people's hearts, deter Xiaoxiao, purge officials, and praise loyalty..."

Jiang Wan became interested in an instant, and he hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "Please give me your advice, sir."

"As the saying goes, teachers are famous, if the crimes of Cao thief and the virtues of the lord are detailed in the newspaper, once the war with the north is fought, the army and the people will surely join forces;

If officials or bullies in a certain place are punished, and the officials and people in various places are announced in the form of newspapers, will it make Xiao Xiaowen restrain himself?

If someone’s loyalty is commended in the newspaper, will the people all over the world follow suit..." Lan Tian talked endlessly, explaining the benefits of the newspaper. The best in the world.

Jiang Wan yelled loudly, no wonder Mr. took such painstaking efforts, not only opened various workshops, but also cultivated Confucian scholars in the head of Guizhou against the public opinion.

"How often does this newspaper come out?" Jiang Wan asked again.

"I'm not proficient in running a newspaper at the beginning, but I can publish a magazine every two months, and after I'm proficient, I can publish a magazine every month." Lan Tian pondered.

Jiang Wan said in surprise, "Sir, are you imitating Xu Zijiang's Yuedan comment?"

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Yuedan Ping uses Xu Shao's name, and his personal influence is too great. After he took refuge in Jiangdong, will Yuedan Ping still exist?"

Jiang Wan shook his head and said, "Not here."

Lan Tian stood up and looked out the window: "As long as our newspaper can be run well, it will still be there in ten, hundred or even thousand years, so there is no comparison."

"Mr. Wan is far-sighted, and Wan sincerely admires..." Jiang Wan stood up and bowed down.

Lan Tian helped Jiang Wan up and said, "I want to set up a brand new yamen, which will be in charge of the distribution of newspapers and books. I wonder if Gong Yan can be the first head?"

After Lan Tian's introduction just now, Jiang Wan understood the gold content of this principal, he quickly shied away and said: "Mr. Meng, who is a foolish person, is already very incompetent, how dare he take up such an important position?"

Lan Tian held Jiang Wan's hand and said sincerely: "Gong Yan is not a talented person. This newspaper can help the Lord help the Han Dynasty. Please don't refuse."

"Jiang Wan is willing to act like a dog and a horse..." Seeing Lan Tian's sincerity, Jiang Wan finally agreed.

Lan Tian handed the brush to Jiang Wan and said, "It is said that writing a brush is like drawing a knife. The piece of paper in front of Gong Yan is worth [-] soldiers. Please write a name for this newspaper."

Jiang Wan picked up the pen and nodded to Lan Tian: "Please give me your name, sir, and I will write."

Lan Tianxin said that you are too smart, and after a moment of contemplation with vacant eyes, he said: "The Yangtze River runs through both sides of Jingzhou, and it is called Changjiang News."

"Wei." Jiang Wan wrote his name on the upper right area of ​​the paper according to Lan Tian's instructions.

At the end of October in the 16th year of Jian'an, a special yamen called the Book and News Agency appeared in Quanling, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Jingnan General's Mansion.

The Office of Books and Newspapers has a paper mill, a book workshop, and a newspaper workshop under its jurisdiction. Confucian students and painters from Quanling College joined the office after completing their studies.

The "Analects of Confucius" textbook was transcribed in an orderly manner, but how to make a newspaper was easy for Jiang Wan to think about and difficult to write, so he still went to Lantian for advice.

Lan Tian thought in his heart that this is not easy to do?Just follow the news broadcast process, first introduce what senior officials are up to, second introduce the happy life of the people, and finally emphasize the difficult life of external forces, then intersperse interesting things that happened in various places, promote and introduce role models, etc.

After Jiang Wan heard this, he was enlightened. Lan Tian even allocated him [-] scouts to collect materials from various places every day.

Jiang Wan vowed that the first issue of the Yangtze River News will be published in the first month of next year.

Chapter 248 Lu Tan's Courage

After the establishment of the Bureau of Books and Newspapers, scouts went to various places to collect materials, and the name gradually became familiar to officials from all over the country.

Pan Jun, who worked in Jingzhou, wrote to ask Jiang Wan if he had offended General Jingnan, or why he would be deprived of his position of offering wine in the school.

Quanling Academy is well-known in Jingnan, but the newly established Books and Newspapers Office is a new thing. In the eyes of outsiders, the latter has no future at all.

Jiang Wan ignored Pan Jun. He wrote back that everything was fine, and worked hard to complete the tasks Lan Tian gave him. When encountering problems, he would come to ask for advice in person. No one knew the future of the Book and Newspaper Office better than him.

In mid-November, Lu Tan came to Quanling from Bushan to deliver a letter. After several months of stalemate, Lu Meng finally couldn't stand it anymore. Sun Quan ordered the whole army to withdraw to Jianye, and asked Cangwu prefect Lu Fan to negotiate peace with Lai Gong.

Lu Meng's [-] soldiers and horses were not damaged much, and Lu Fan replenished the soldiers and horses of Wu Ju from the original Cangwu, and basically returned to Jiangdong in an undamaged state, but the damaged warships cannot be faked.

Originally, Lu Meng planned to carry it until the end of the year, but the problem of food and grass has not been resolved. The daily consumption of [-] mouths is huge. The food and grass in Cangwu and Nanhai can no longer be forcibly expropriated.

There was no food in the local area, and Jiangdong had no face to ask for food and grass. He borrowed food from Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi, for several months. In the end, he only received a letter from him. Unfortunately, they encountered storms at sea, and finally ten grain ships capsized.

Shi Xie spoke earnestly in the letter and lowered his stance very low, but in any case, there was no more food to lend, and neither Sun Quan nor Lu Meng could find an excuse.

According to Lantian's order, Lai Gong and Lu Fan stopped their troops with Moon Bay as the boundary, and compensated Yulin County's loss with half a year's salt production from Gaoyao County.

After listening to Lu Tan's report, Lan Tian nodded and said, "Inspector Lai has done a good job. I didn't expect him to let you go."

Lu Tan replied cheerfully: "If my brother-in-law hadn't been afraid of Jiang Dong's secret work, he would definitely come to Quanling to pay his respects in person. In addition, General Sha is also asking for instructions on when his barbarians can withdraw..."

"Did Jiangdong soldiers really withdraw?" Lan Tian asked again.

Lu Tan nodded and replied: "The soldiers in Jiangdong are like dogs that lose their homes. Because the warships were seriously damaged, most of them were evacuated by land. My brother-in-law said that he has fought for so many years, and it is the first time that he has beaten the opponent so aggrieved..."

"It took a long time to withdraw the army by land. After you return to Mount Bushan, tell Chief Sha that you will withdraw secretly at the end of the year and let General Liang be in charge of Yu Lin's defense temporarily." Lan Tian ordered.

"Wei." Lu Tan responded loudly.

Lan Tian saw Lu Tan standing where he was after speaking, hesitant to speak.

"Is there something else for General Lu?" Lan Tian asked suspiciously.

Lu Tan stammered, "The envoy of Jiaozhi wants to visit you, but I don't know if it's suitable..."

Lan Tian frowned: "Shi Xie's envoy? Does Governor Lai know about this?"

"The second son of Shi Taishou, Shi Zhi, was a guest at Bushan. My brother-in-law did not dare to reveal his identity as a general, so he did not dare to introduce him rashly. This is a humble job that makes decisions without authorization..." Lu Tan lowered his head, pinching his hands together nervously .

Lan Tian sat upright and said meaningfully: "Your brother-in-law dare not expose, but General Lu is very courageous?"
