The ancient marriage process was cumbersome and divided into pre-wedding ceremony, main wedding ceremony and coming-of-age ceremony. Pre-wedding ceremony included nacai, name-asking, naji, etc., which took a lot of time, but fortunately, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others made arrangements for it. .
Lu Lingqi is a woman waiting to get married, and she basically doesn't go out during this period of time.
People from the future like Lan Tian don't know much about the wedding process in ancient times, so they can only 'allow themselves to be manipulated'.
During this time, he often went to Dengjiazhuang to arrange the spring plowing for Li Yang and others for the coming year. He did not affect his work as the captain of the farming community because he was getting married soon.
The official wedding of Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi was scheduled for the day before New Year's Eve. Liu Bei made this wedding very grand, firstly out of respect for Lu Bu's daughter, secondly out of respect for Lan Tian, the captain of Diannong, and finally out of respect for the people of Xinye. A good impression.
The entire Xinye City was decorated with lights and colorful decorations in preparation for the New Year. Lantian followed the wedding procedures with Lu Lingqi to perform rituals such as taking a bath, joining the prison, tying the knot, untying the tassel and tying the hair, paying homage to the hall, setting up a wedding ceremony and other etiquette.
Lu Lingqi and Lan Tian have known each other for a long time, and she was filled with joy during this period. Although she was cheerful and aggressive by nature, she was also learning to serve her husband under Gan Qian's guidance.
In this era, everything is dictated by parents, and most girls from famous families are married into families. Very few people get to marry the person they like.
Because both parents were gone, Liu Bei and Gan Qian acted as their aunts and completed the marriage ceremony with Lu Lingqi the next day.
Lan Tian has a modern mindset and does not have the ancient mentality of men being superior to women, so he respects Lu Lingqi very much after their marriage and even cooks to satisfy her cravings from time to time.
Although Lu Lingqi was happy in her heart, she was worried: "Ziyu loves me too much. I'm afraid your sister will blame me for not being a virtuous woman..."
Lan Tian smiled and said: "Who knows if we close the door? Just pretend in front of outsiders."
Lu Lingqi felt as if she had eaten candied dates. She said shyly: "You are the only one with the most clever ideas..."
"Spring plowing will take place after the new year. I will spend more time in the fields. If you are bored with martial arts training on weekdays, you can go to Sister's place more often." Lan Tian instructed.
"What I saved is that you are happy to farm, and I haven't asked you about your ambitions yet?" Lu Lingqi said curiously.
Lan Tian raised his head and sighed: "On a small scale, I want the people under my brother-in-law's rule to have enough to eat. On a larger scale, I want no one in the world to go hungry..."
"Is your ambition too big? Now that the world is in chaos and the heroes are divided, can you just rely on farming?" Lu Lingqi wondered.
"Then first I will help my brother-in-law grow a kingdom." Lan Tian said seriously.
Lu Lingqi was startled when she heard this. She had never seen Lan Tian be so heroic, "Ziyu is truly worthy of the man I, Lu Lingqi, like. Since you have this ambition, husband, I am willing to help you with all my strength."
Then Lu Lingqi called Gao Shun and said: "Now that I am married to the Lan family, you will treat your husband like me. Ziyu will help Liu Xuande fight for the world, so you will no longer stay by my side."
"But you are my lord..." When Gao Shun heard that he wanted to help Liu Bei conquer the country, he suddenly refused.
Lu Lingqi withdrew her eyes and said firmly: "You may not help Liu Xuande, but you must help Lan Ziyu."
"Wei." Gao Shun shouted, cupping his fists.
After the New Year, the frost and cold are still there,
Although it is not yet spring plowing and sowing, Lantian, Gao Shun and others have already arrived at Dengjiazhuang.
With Dengjiazhuang as the center, Lantian reclaimed a lot of land for farming. He set the tax at 60% of the output, and adjusted it at any time according to the harvest. This was much lower than the tax in Ganjiazhuang.
This pleased the tenant farmers who were living below the subsistence level, so they were very motivated.
At this time, Lantian came to Dengjiazhuang to carry out militarized management of the people in the field, and divided them into detailed groups according to the fire, team and song formations in the army.
Lan Tian filled every team and song with people brought by Gao Shun. They were only responsible for daily management and did not participate in labor.
Looking at the hundreds of people slumping behind Li Yang, Gao Shun said worriedly: "These people are not trained. It will be too difficult to make them order and forbid unless I am given the power of life and death..."
Lantian waved his hands after hearing this and said, "Severe punishments can only make people intimidated. These are ordinary people who produce food for us. They must be dealt with in a gentle way."
"Gentle?" Gao Shun asked puzzledly.
"I plan to give each person a quota. The superior ones will be rewarded, the inferior ones will be punished, the strong ones will be praised, and the weak ones will be supported." Lan Dot said word by word.
He plans to gradually integrate the performance management system of later generations into farming. Only by breaking the big pot rice system can personal enthusiasm be fully mobilized.
After hearing this, Gao Shun said thoughtfully: "Then what's the point of having my people here?"
"Your people have experienced life and death, and they can stand there without anger or intimidation, which can intimidate those young people. Furthermore, my planting method is different from other places, which is why I vowed to come to farm, to prevent these secrets from spreading. .." Lan Tian explained.
"So that's it. Sir, you really think about the long term."
As a general, Gao Shun was very aware of the danger of intelligence leakage. He thought to himself that this uncle was treating farming as a war? Very interesting.
When Lan Tian saw Gao Shun nodding, he continued: "The world is in chaos now. I don't know when there will be a war. The land under my feet cannot be moved, so I hope these people can use swords and guns and can defend themselves at critical moments." The fruits of your own hard work.”
"You want me to help train them? But they mainly farm?" Gao Shun asked in confusion.
"You can train during leisure time, or you can train in turns." Lan Tian added.
Gao Shun nodded and said, "Does everyone need to train?"
"Yes, but it depends on the individual. Those who are physically strong can be selected as reserve soldiers, and those who are slightly weaker can be selected as orderlies. If they are really weak, forget it..."
"Leave this matter to me." Gao Shun said.
On the way back to Xinye from Dengjiazhuang, Gao Shun recalled Lantian's words and deeds today. He arranged these people in an orderly manner without using any thunderbolt methods, and these people were convinced.
Lan Tian saw Gao Shun being absent-minded on the horse, so he asked, "Is General Gao worried?"
"I see that Sir is very thoughtful and has managed these hundreds of farmers to be obedient. I wonder what will happen if you lead the army in battle?" Gao Shun said.
"Leading the troops to fight? No, no, no, I'll let you go then..." Lan Tian waved his hand hurriedly and said.
"Sir, how will you know if it doesn't work if you don't try?"
"Failure to grow food means starvation. If we make a mistake in using our troops, how many people will die? I never do anything I'm not sure of..."
Gao Shun was shocked when he heard this and sighed: "Sir, you are truly a benevolent master. I hope that I can follow you to end this troubled world..."
Lan Tian was startled when he heard this. He used the Legend of the Condor Heroes as a metaphor to let Gao Shun end this troubled world with the people who benefited the people. This guy actually still remembers it.
