"Xiao Lizi, are there still many people growing corn and wheat in the village?" Lan Tian suddenly asked.
Li Yang replied: "The people who moved to Xinye are all northerners. Compared with the local staple food of rice, everyone still likes corn and steamed buns. Now 30% of the people in the village still grow it."
"Have the corn and wheat planting methods I taught been passed down?" Lantian asked again.
"What you teach are all survival skills. We must pass them on from generation to generation. In fact, after the improvements made by the young farm owner, the millet and wheat grown now not only have high yields but are also resistant to diseases and pests. They save time and effort than rice." Li Yang smiled. explain.
Lan Tian nodded, "Now that the people in the village are living a stable life, I want to move some young people who know how to grow corn to work in the fields. I wonder if it will be easy for you here?"
Mr. Li Yang was startled, then patted his chest and said: "Now the abundant life in Xindengzhuang is provided by the young owner. Everyone is eager to follow them to Quanling. Can you just tell me how many people you want? I will go back in the afternoon to mobilize , I’ll be on the road with you tomorrow.”
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 looked puzzled.
Lantian's eyes became determined and profound, "To be precise, it's Guanghan County in Yizhou. The lord is currently working in fields near Jiameng Pass, Jiange, and Zitong to grow grain. The terrain there is very similar to Linwu, except that there are less rice fields and more land. , more suitable for growing millet and wheat.”
Li Yang suddenly realized that no wonder Lantian must be able to grow millet and wheat.
"I heard that General Liu went to Sichuan to help his clan members in the crusade against Zhang Lu, so Liu Yizhou wouldn't even provide him with military rations?" Li Yang was very confused.
Lan Tian shook his head slightly, "Grain and grass are the foundation of the army and the guarantee of life and death. How can we leave life and death to outsiders? Besides, transporting grain from Chengdu to Jiameng Pass consumes a lot of money. It is best to farm and grow grain locally."
Li Yang seemed to understand, "Although I don't understand military warfare, I can only follow the orders of the young master of the village. How many farmers are needed? If not, I will personally take the villagers to Shu."
Seeing Li Yang's sincerity, Lan Tian was moved and said: "Xindengzhuang is now a large village with ten thousand households. How can you, the owner of the village, leave so easily? You are still Mr. Deng's son-in-law..."
"What's the problem? I already have three sons and two daughters, two of whom are named Deng and one son is named Li. The young owner 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 in the farmhouse at night, but old Mr. Deng is still very open-minded and allows you to do your own thing.
In fact, Li Yang had benefited from Lan Tian, and Deng Ai had become more diligent after becoming his disciple. He would definitely be able to bring glory to the Deng family in the future, so old Mr. Deng reciprocated the favor.
Lan Tian then smiled and said: "Yizhou is still far away. Give the opportunity to young people. You could have chosen people from Quanling Academy, but you are the one I trust the most. Just prepare five hundred to one thousand people. "
"Wei." Li Yang almost shed tears when he heard the three words of trust.
Lantian saw that Li Yang was a little emotional, so he patted his back and said, "I won't let them migrate in vain. As long as they work hard and grow food locally, I can serve them as village chiefs, village owners or even township officials."
The interests of adults are king in the world, and emotions alone will one day disappear.
After hearing this, Li Yang said with a smile: "With the planting skills of the young village owner, and bringing some improved seeds to increase yield, they will be considered incompetent if they can't become the village owner. Many people from other places come to us to find sons-in-law... "
Lan Tianxin said that this is already famous? He looked at Xu An, who was watching the game not far away, and added with a smile: "Xu County Magistrate is a pragmatic and good official. I will suggest that the lord transfer him there and take care of him when the time comes. I heard that the girl from Yizhou is still here." quite gorgeous..."
"Young Master is so thoughtful. I guess there will be many people willing to join Sichuan." Li Yang said with a smile.
Lan Tian nodded slightly: "This matter will be kept secret for now. I will notify you in advance when the time comes."
"Don't worry, Young Master." Li Yang replied seriously.
The main purpose of Lantian's coming here is this. In history, in order to win the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to mobilize all Yizhou to mobilize troops and transport grain, which cost Yizhou several years of economic decline.
Lantian allowed the villagers to enter Sichuan 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's sweat was spilled on the football field. They were all sharing tactics and reminiscing about the fun brought by football on the carriage.
Lu Lingqi heard the five little ones whispering on the horse, so she suggested to Lantian: "Since the children love football so much, why not build a stadium when we go back?"
Lan Tian nodded, "The square in Quanling Academy can be renovated so that students can play football in their spare time."
Lu Lingqi was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "My husband is really smart. Is Kong Ming really better than you?"
Lan Tian: "Xiao Jun, you don't have to doubt that your talent as a strategist is unparalleled..."
"Husband, you are not an ordinary person. I think you are just modest..." Lu Lingqi muttered.
Lan Tian called Gao Shun and said: "Besides training, the trapped troops can also play football. This can not only relax but also unite people's hearts."
"That's what I meant." Gao Shun nodded.
"There is open space in the Jiangwu Hall Recruit Camp, and we can build a stadium there, but it's a pity that Lu Tie..." Lantian regretted after saying this. Isn't it a bit cruel to play football in front of disabled people?
Gao Shun saw Lan Tian's worries and replied: "Lao Lu is more open-minded by nature. Sir, you don't have to worry about him. Sooner or later, football will become popular in the recruit camp. In fact, he can also be a linesman."
Lu Tie works as a linesman in a wheelchair, but Lan Tian can only say that Lao Gao is unconstrained.
When transferring to Chenxian County, Lantian didn't want to go to the city for a banquet, but the prefect Haopu didn't force him, so he sent him to Leishui Wharf.
Before boarding the ship, Hao Pu pulled Lan Tian and whispered: "Xu County Magistrate is from a humble background, and his reputation is not obvious in Guiyang. If he is reused rashly, others may be dissatisfied. Can General Lan..."
Lan Tian looked at Hao Pu meaningfully and said in his heart, do you want me to come out and say a few words to improve Xu An's reputation? Although he doesn't like doing this, he is willing to set an example for Jingnan officials.
"Don't worry, Governor Hao, he will be famous in Jingzhou within half a year." Lan Tian nodded affirmatively.
Hao Pu was overjoyed and immediately bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, General."
After returning to Quanling after the "tour", Lan Tian came to Quanling Academy and asked Jiang Wan to renovate the football field, and asked him to find someone to compile the Analects of Confucius to prepare new teaching materials for Confucian students.
If the Thousand-Character Classic is an elementary school created by Lan Tian, then the Analects of Confucius is really a Confucian classic. Jiang Wan also supported the increase in teaching materials, but was worried about Confucian students.
"Agricultural students will return to the fields after completing their studies, and craftsmen students will enter workshops after completing their studies. What will be the future arrangements for the children of Confucianism? They can't all be officials, right?" Jiang Wan asked doubtfully.
Lan Tian shook his head and said with a smile: "Am I a hasty person? Gongyan can rest assured that I have already thought about the future of the children."
