Lan Tian nodded, "It's still bright now, move to the yard quickly, I'll tidy it up when I have time."
Chapter 669 It's Easy To Be A Brave General, But Hard To Be A Commander
It took more than half a year for the construction of the kelp nursery pond and a large amount of data in the nursery stage to be recorded by agricultural researchers in hundreds of volumes. Lan Tian brought them back to Guangzhou and planned to publish them after collation and proofreading.
Lan Tian sat in front of the stone table in the small courtyard, and there were several baskets beside them, which were sorting baskets for selecting materials.
The books recorded in those books were divided by Lantian into four categories: effective, useful, to be determined, and invalid, and checked the circles page by page, tore off the relevant pages, and put them in the corresponding baskets. After the initial screening, there was a second time Screening, and finally correction, typesetting and printing.
Because of the rigor of his academic studies, Lantian is worried about handing over to outsiders, especially his own field of agronomy. He plans to take time to proofread slowly. After all, kelp farming still needs to be tested for a season. After two seasons have good harvests, this "Kelp" Farming" will be published.
Seeing Lan Tian's serious look, Lu Lingqi and Lan Qing sat beside him, staring silently at the man in front of him.
Once busy, time flies quickly.
Lan Tian looked up and saw the setting sun, thinking that the guests would arrive soon, he asked the maids to collect the data, and then set up a larger square table in the courtyard. He prefers to sit in the courtyard for dinner, so that there is a kind of freedom, relaxed feeling.
Before the guests arrived, Lan Tian suddenly remembered about Lan Yuan, and couldn't help but ask Lu Lingqi, "I heard that Bo Yang recently attended the medical practice?"
Lan Tian originally thought that Lu Lingqi didn't know, but the other party replied nonchalantly: "Yes, didn't my husband say that studying medicine is good? He also suggested that Qing'er should study medicine in the future."
"Well... Qing'er wants to learn..." Lan Qing jumped into the arms of the old father after finishing her work in Lantian. Since Lantian came home, the little girl didn't like to go to the ground very much.
"That's fine... In the future, like Mr. Yuanhua (Hua Tuo), he will hang the pot to help the world..." Seeing that Lu Lingqi is so generous, Lan Tian nodded in affirmation with confidence.
"Hanging the pot to help the world? Boyang just learns from the superficial, and it is far from the hanging pot to help the world." Lu Lingqi waved her hands quickly.
Lan Tian was taken aback when he heard that, and said to himself that you just acquiesced that your son is studying medicine. Why do you still have so little confidence in him? Did you just give up now?So he quickly argued: "Boyang is not yet 16 years old, and he still has a long way to go in life. As long as he is steadfast and willing to learn and concentrate on research, in the future, let alone opening a doctor's office and hanging a pot to help the world, he will not be able to teach in Guangzhou Medical College." Impossible."
This time it was Lu Lingqi's turn to be puzzled. She shook her head and asked curiously: "Opening a clinic? Taught in a medical school? He still has to lead troops in Boyang. How can there be so much time? Husband, what are you talking about?" ?”
"Leading soldiers? Aren't you studying medicine?" Lan Tian scratched his head with a dazed expression.
Lu Lingqi was about to explain, when she suddenly heard footsteps in the garden, and Lan Yuan was vaguely speaking.
After a while, Lan Yuan led Guan Ping and Gao Shun through the courtyard gate.
"Father, mother..."
"Uncle, aunt..."
"Sir, my lord..."
Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi nodded slightly in response, Lan Tian then pointed to the Eight Immortals table, and said cheerfully: "It's been a long time waiting for you, everyone sit down and talk, Xiaojun, let Yue'er call the kitchen to serve."
"No." Lu Lingqi nodded slightly.
Lan Tian sat on the upper seat in the north, Gao Shun on the right, Guan Ping on the left, and Lan Yuan the youngest in the south.
"Where did Gao Yuan go?" Lan Tian asked curiously.
Gao Shun replied with a smile: "He hasn't seen his wife and children for half a year, so let me take a leave of absence for my husband, so he won't come tonight."
"This guy Gao Yuan has never been willing to sit at the same table..." Lan Tian shook his head and smiled wryly.
"There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, sir, you have to be considerate." Gao Shun cupped his fists to plead guilty.
After Lu Lingqi gave her orders, she also came to sit down beside Lantian, because it was Lantian's family banquet, and Gao Shun and Guan Ping were her own people, so Lu Lingqi didn't need to avoid it.
"Boyang, tell your father what you've been doing recently. He thought you changed your career to study medicine and planned to train you to be a doctor or a professor in a medical school." Lu Lingqi smiled slightly.
"Langzhong? Teacher? Sir, don't be joking, Boyang doesn't have that much time to spare." Gao Shun was also very surprised.
Lan Yuan pushed aside the bench and stood up. The eight-foot-three-inch height looked like an adult. He clasped his fists at Lan Tian and said, "I've been attending the medical school for the past two months, and I want to learn some simple wound management, bone setting, and suturing." , anesthesia, etc., may be used for emergency relief in wars. Before the war in Deng County, the army that was trapped in the battle was because there were too few doctors assigned by each army. Many soldiers were not disabled or killed because of their injuries, but later they were artificially delayed. I want to learn some simple medical skills now, so I can do my best on the battlefield."
Lan Tian knew that Lan Yuan's original intention was good, but he still shook his head with a smile: "It's good that Bo Yang has such a thought, but you can't do it alone, and studying medicine can't be done quickly, so if you really want to learn, just calm down and study for a few more years." .”
"Father once said that he specialized in arts, and the children only learn some simple first aid methods. If they encounter intractable emergencies, they will still be sent to Guangzhou. In addition, I think my comprehension is not bad, and I will pass it on to those with high comprehension after learning it. Soldiers, there should be no problem in responding when the time comes." Lan Yuan replied confidently.
Gao Shun nodded affirmatively, "Sir, my lord, although Boyang is young, he has great ideas. I have learned from Mr. Yuanhua, and he is indeed a fast learner. I have full confidence in him."
Lan Tian frowned and nodded lightly, "It's a good way for you to teach soldiers after you've learned it, but this method seems rather stupid, and it seems to save training time for other soldiers, but if you don't learn it firmly, the rest Don't people also learn to half-water?
Since you intend to bring the first aid method into the camp, Boping might as well set up a medical camp alone and let Bo Yang take full responsibility. I will ask Mr. Yuanhua to teach the medical camp intensively, and only teach simple first aid methods. "
"That... that's great..." Lan Yuan was delighted to hear that.
Gao Shun also nodded in agreement: "Sir's proposal is very good. It's okay to add more medical battalions. It doesn't matter if the enemy's ability to kill the enemy is weak. When the time comes, I will follow the Chinese army."
Lan Tian shook his head, "Don't underestimate the medical soldiers, Boping. They should be trained like scouts. They should not be weaker than other battalions when they go to battle to kill the enemy. Don't think that the medical battalions can be inferior. Their existence should be icing on the cake. They should be better than other battalions. It is better to be stronger, the non-war state is a separate battalion, and the war state should be integrated into other battalions, which not only enhances the combat effectiveness of each battalion, but also greatly reduces combat attrition."
"Mr. can't be wrong, then I will be stricter with them." Gao Shun nodded.
"Father, I will go to Linyi Kingdom in the next year. My son has heard that there is a lot of miasma in Rinan County, and he is easy to be bitten by poisonous insects when he enters. Can Mr. Hua teach him some anti-miasma techniques?" Lan Yuan continued to ask.
Lan Tian nodded in relief. Lan Yuan must have done his homework in advance to say this. It is easy to cultivate brave generals, but it is extremely rare to have a commander who sees the overall situation. He has seen some signs in his son.
6 Seventy chapters state-level yamen re-expanded
Linan Country (Ni Nan County) is located in the central part of Vietnam in later generations. Its geographical location is south of the Tropic of Cancer. It is hot and rainy and has a tropical monsoon climate. Due to the sparse population in the Han Dynasty, Ri Nan County still maintained its original style.
The reason why Lantian chose to send troops in winter was mainly because he was afraid that the soldiers would not get used to the climate. Once large-scale acclimatization occurred, the consequences would be quite serious.
"Boyang has thought carefully. The climate in Linyi is hotter and humid than that in Jiaozhou, so you must find more guides before sending troops, and try to follow the supply ship along the coastline. You must not go into the jungle for greed. The medicine to prevent miasma is already in preparation. , In addition, there are many poisonous springs in the woods, drinking water must be heated before use..." Lan Tian kept urging, like a nagging mother.
With the strength of the army, it should be easy to conquer Rinan County. Lan Tian also wanted to give Lan Yuan a chance to practice, so he didn't plan to conquer it himself. In addition, Jiaozhou is about to undergo major reforms, so he needs to be in Guangzhou to ensure the smooth reform.
Gao Shun and Lan Yuan nodded frequently, and the guest Guan Ping also admired Lan Tian's cautiousness.
Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the dishes in the kitchen were brought to the table plate by plate. Because the sea next to it was mostly seafood, Guan Ping was somewhat repulsed by the fishy smell of the sea, and he always used his chopsticks with pickled products, so he ate more cautiously.
Seeing this, Lantian immediately saw the reason, followed by asking someone to prepare a shabu-shabu, and personally made a dipping sauce for Guan Ping, and said with a smile: "The so-called relying on the mountains to eat, relying on the water to drink water, Jiaozhou is adjacent to the sea, and the meat is mainly seafood. Lord, Tanzhi can't accept it for a while, try it with dipping sauce, Yide likes it very much."
Guan Ping solemnly replied: "Third Uncle has a very good appetite, and my nephew has eaten a lot of river fish, and indeed he doesn't eat much seafood, but please don't worry, Uncle, I will try more..."
"The sea food has its own fragrance, and it tastes the best when cooked, but everyone's taste is different, and I won't force it here. Frankly, you can relax a little bit." Lan Tian waved his hand lightly.
Guan Ping held up a piece of fish, and said meaningfully: "I have been fighting with my father for many years, and occasionally encounter food shortages in the army. As long as I can eat, I can do anything. I don't know how lucky I am to have such a piece of meat at that time... "
"It's like this in war. Anyone who has a stutter is fine. It doesn't matter whether it's delicious or not. It's just following the husband, and the appetite will slowly be fed." Gao Shun shook his head and sighed.
"Soldiers are born and die, and they should eat well, but you can rest assured that the chances of soldiers going hungry in the future are not many..." Lan Tian said with firm eyes.
"Sir, you can turn decay into miracles. Ever since you started farming in Xinye, I never thought that I would run out of food." Gao Shun nodded.
"The hard times are over, Tan Zhi came from a long way, and he wants to treat this place as his own home. In the future, when the military is not busy, he can bring his family to visit him often. The winter in Guangzhou is warm, and Xu Junshi often brings his mother. "Lu Lingqi invited politely.
"Yes... Aunt..." Guan Ping nodded.
"Brother, mother is right. Father built some houses in Guangzhou and reserved them for you to live in. I will take you around the city tomorrow." Lan Yuan seemed very enthusiastic.
Lan Tian nodded with satisfaction, "Tan Zhi came from a long way, Bo Yang should do his best as a landlord."
"It would be great if Zhong Ling came back with Tan Zhi..." Lu Lingqi and Lan Ji hadn't seen each other for two years, and she thought of her youngest son when she saw everyone enjoying themselves.
Guan Ping explained with a smile: "Zhongling is mainly in charge of the youth battalion, and he spends most of the time training every day. I really don't know what kind of training he will be. I think those hundreds of people are already able to go to the battlefield, but my father doesn't give the youth battalion training. Opportunities to fight, but occasionally give some missions to arrest robbers."
"I discussed this matter with Yun Chang. Zhongling's youth became famous and arrogant, and his impetuous temper may cause serious problems in the future, so he needs to work on it for a few more years. If Zhongling feels wronged in his heart, you can call him Come back to Jiaozhou and tell me." Lan Tian looked serious.
"Zhong Ling is not afraid of my father, but he is especially in awe of his uncle when he mentions it, so he will never refute what you have decided." Guan Ping quickly spoke well for Lan Ji.
Lan Tian stroked his beard and Gao Shun looked at each other with a smile, saying that there was nothing wrong with the strict education for so many years.
Looking at the thoughtful Lu Lingqi beside him, Lan Tian said to Guan Ping: "Yun Chang has never been to Jiaozhou, so Tan Zhi went back and sent him a message, asking him to stay here for a few days during the Chinese New Year, and by the way, take Zhong Tombs are brought back together, and military training is also very particular, so it’s not wrong to ask Boping for advice more often.”
Guan Ping clasped his fists and replied, "My nephew must bring the words with me."
Lan Tian raised his glass and said, "Tanzhi will come along with me when the time comes."
"Uh... let's see what father arranges..." Guan Ping smiled awkwardly.
Lan Tian and others ate and chatted until late at night.
No outsider has ever stayed in the back house of Zhoumu Mansion, but Lan Tian set a precedent for Guan Ping by letting Lan Yuan and Guan Ping live in the East Wing.
Seeing this, Gao Shun couldn't help but feel that his husband and General Guan have been friends for many years, and their relationship is actually so good.
Guan Ping is not as aloof as Guan Yu, and has a much calmer personality. He has many similarities with Lan Yuan. Lan Tian intends to let the eldest sons of the two families get closer.
Everyone got up early the next day. After breakfast, everyone had their own things to do.
Guan Ping agreed to stay for another two days, but Lan Yuan put aside the matter at hand, and took this senior brother from the Guan family who came from afar, and the two of them played in casual clothes in Guangzhou.
Walking in the bustling neighborhood and seeing a dazzling array of commodities, Guan Ping couldn't imagine the past at all. The land under his feet was a wasteland a few years ago, and he thought that this uncle not only knew how to farm, but also had strong skills in governing the world.
Jiang Wan, Jiaozhou Biejia and South China Sea Prefect, came to Zhoumu Mansion at the appointed time. When Gao Yuan invited him into the apse, he saw Lan Tian drawing on a piece of white paper. Connect the boxes in series, from top to bottom like branching branches from less to more.
"Your Majesty, this is..." Jiang Wan asked curiously.
Lan Tian was so engrossed in drawing that he didn't notice Jiang Wan coming in at all. He looked at the drawing paper and said with a smile, "Gong Yan came just in time. I've been preparing for something for many years, and I plan to launch it soon, so I'll discuss it with you first."
"It's this?" Jiang Wan pointed to the drawing paper with a puzzled expression.
Lan Tian nodded slightly, and said in his heart that this is the composition of the organizational structure. You will understand after I fill in the departments. He first wrote the word Jiaozhou in the top box.
"The existing official system of the imperial court is mainly concentrated at the imperial court, county, and county. Among them, the power and functions of the county are too large, and it is inconvenient to manage. Before that, I set up the government office directly under the state level, such as the Book and News Agency and the Medical Administration. The effect of the operation in the past two years is not bad, so I plan to expand the state-level yamen to make the operation of the government more efficient." Lan Tian replied seriously.
Jiang Wan swallowed his saliva when he heard it, and looked at the densely packed square frame below Jiaozhou, wondering if the Fujun's move was too big?
Chapter 671 Don't Care About Lan Ziyu
Lan Tian counted the time, Cao Pi is about to usurp the throne and replace the Han Dynasty, and the Jiupin Zhongzheng System will be drawn out soon. He has been in Jingnan and Jiaozhou for many years, just to give hope to Qianshou and poor families, and prevent the aristocratic families from giving up their way. Blocked, with an ascending channel, a powerful ability will erupt.
Lantian has established schools over the years, and the talents he cultivated are ultimately sent to the officialdom, but the existing officialdom system is relatively backward, so he plans to use a system from later generations.
The advanced systems of later generations may not be suitable for the present society. Lantian finally chose the mature system of the feudal era, that is, the system of three provinces and six ministries.
Even if Liu Bei ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the future, there will be considerable resistance to promoting the new system, so Lantian plans to pilot it in Jiaozhou first, and then slowly move there after unifying China in the future.
"How do you plan to change, sir?" Jiang Wan asked curiously.
In the first six boxes, Lan Tian filled in the words "official", "household", "ritual", "soldier", "criminal", and "worker", and he planned to introduce the six functional departments first.
"I plan to set up six cao under the state capital to take back the rights of the counties to the top, so that the state capital can directly manage the localities, and the power cannot stay in the hands of the county guards and the county chief Shi."
Based on the few words written by Lan Tian, Jiang Wan probably guessed the corresponding county-level yamen. He frowned and asked, "Sir, what you mean is to directly intervene in Gongcao, Hucao, Cangcao, etc. County-level yamen affairs? But this will cause a lot of real shortages, on the one hand, it will increase the pressure on salaries, and on the other hand, will there be suspicion of duplication of functions?"
"The tax revenue in the trade zone is getting more and more substantial. Our extra salary will not be wasted. Li Cao is responsible for the appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion, and transfer of state officials. Existing officials include those who are corrupt, dereliction of duty, and overstaffed. If it is not passed, it can be downgraded or transferred, or dismissed from office, and the efficiency of government offices at all levels will be greatly improved. If there are duplicate government offices, they can be abolished if they are found to be wrong." Lan Tian stroked to explain.
"Officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, workers, and humble officials can probably guess their functions. It's just such a large-scale innovation that almost overturned the imperial system. Should the government report to the king? In addition, the new Cao office manages For the corresponding yamen in each county, what do the original sheriffs and magistrates do? The new yamen should have quite a few staff, so where are you going to add so many officials?" Jiang Wan asked continuously.
Lan Tian smiled slightly: "The king of Hanzhong gave me a lot of authority. It is absolutely no problem to implement it only in Jiaozhou. The original county guard and county chief Shi should do what to do. The new yamen belongs to cross-management. The purpose is to allow the state government to accurately grasp the authority. The place, Gongyan's last question is the main purpose of coming to you today."
Jiang Wan asked curiously, "Your Majesty, please tell me..."
"Guangzhou Academy has been in operation for more than three years, and thousands of students in the academy are my candidates." Lan Tian replied.
"The government at the state level has great power. Although the students in the academy have studied for a few years, most of them are very young. Should we still be sent to the grassroots as officials as usual, with outstanding achievements and then be promoted as appropriate?" Jiang said. Wan made a suggestion.
Lan Tian shook his head, "I don't think it's that troublesome. Except for the heads of the six state Cao offices, ordinary officials are all selected from the colleges, and the new yamen complement each other with new people."
Jiang Wan saw Lan Tian's words were convincing, so he didn't argue and refute, but asked, "I don't know how you plan to be selected? Do you want the academy professors to recommend you, or do you use other methods?"
"Recommended by the professors of the college, isn't it no different from Ju Xiaolian? I have a better way to select officials. In the afternoon, you will send Liu Chengguo (Liu Xi), Zhao Junqing (Zhao Shuang), Xue Jingwen (Xue Zong), Cheng Deshu ( Cheng Bing) and others are invited, and we will discuss together how to formulate the questions.”
Lan Tian smiled confidently. He had done civil service test papers before, so he chose a few classic question types at random, and combined with the actual situation at this stage, it was no problem to get a few sets of test papers.
In the afternoon, all the virtuous men arrived, and the young and long gathered together.
In addition to the few people called by Lantian, Liu Xi also brought Yu Fan who was "captive". After being treated coldly in Jiaozhou for a few days, he really went to the academy to make a living.
It is gold that always shines. Liu Xi found that Yu Fan was talented, so he invited him to be the main lecturer of the academy.
After a period of understanding, Yu Fan completely overturned his previous views on Lantian. After a year in Jiaozhou, he slowly adapted and found that the official atmosphere here is much better than that in Jiangdong. Because of his profound knowledge and rigorous scholarship, he was highly valued by Jijiu Liu Xi.
Lan Tian took out a few blank sheets of paper and wrote down his thoughts about the exam. Liu Xi, Xue Zong and others followed Lan Tian's ideas, but Yu Fan came up with many novel ideas, such as the objective questions. The preset answers should be more flexible, and a blank E is added to the four options of A, B, C, and D, so that candidates can answer the questions flexibly and independently.
Lan Tian appreciates Yu Fan's outstanding and unyielding personality. This character is easy to run into walls in ordinary officialdom, but in Jiaozhou, where talents are considered, he is considered to be in the right place.
Several people discussed for an afternoon and recorded hundreds of questions. Lan Tian will eventually select ten topics from these topics, which are mainly objective questions, and finally choose two current affairs as the discussion.
After the discussion on the exam papers and questions was over, Lan Tian unexpectedly left Jiang Wan and Yu Fan behind.
In front of the two of them, Lan Tian circled ten questions on those manuscript papers, and then said: "Gong Yan, you and Zhong Xiang have finalized the current political questions, and then immediately sent them to the printing workshop for printing, in order to prevent favoritism and fraud. If the test questions are leaked, I will send an army to control the printing workshop, and it will be lifted after the selection exam starts."
Jiang Wan nodded thoughtfully, Yu Fan next to him was momentarily confused, thinking that I was just an instructor in the academy, what did you want to keep me here?The printing of the test papers is guarded by the army, which shows that Lantian attaches great importance to this selection test. Why do you want to let me know about the current political questions?
"Zhongxiang, Jiaozhou is about to set up a new government office called Licao, which will mainly manage the schools in the state, Jiaozhou official selection examinations, sacrifices, etc. I prefer you to be the head of the ceremony office. This position is the same as the county governor. " Lan Tian stroked his beard and smiled.
Yu Fan was surprised when he heard that, and said with sincerity and fear: "Yu Fan is in such a mess, what virtue and ability do I have? The governor actually conferred this important position..."
"The so-called heroes don't ask where they come from. I won't look down on Zhongxiang just because you were taken captive, and I won't look up to you because you were once promoted as a talented person. I chose you to be Li Cao's chief, mainly because of your nobleness. Zhongxiang should be very clear about character and the weight of the Jiaozhou official selection examination, right?" Lan Tian said meaningfully.
