Lan Tian quickly came to the front hall and found Guan Ping waiting boredly. He had refused to taste the bananas, grapes and other fruits prepared by Gao Yuan.
"Young General, you really need to have a taste. The grapes in front of you were planted by Mr. himself. You can't buy them anywhere else. Just wait patiently for a while. Recently, borers have been raging in various counties. Mr. was busy with government affairs and finally fell asleep for a while..." Gao Yuan explained and recommended.
"I'm not thirsty now. It won't be too late to use it after I see my uncle..."
Guan Ping sat upright in the palace, acting very reserved. He did not dare to take the reception fruits easily, mainly because Guan Yu usually had a strict education and he had inexplicable awe for his elders.
Lan Tian was respected by both Guan Yu and Guan Ping treated him like a father, but in fact the difference between them was only a dozen years.
"Tanzhi is here." Lan Tian greeted him loudly.
Guan Ping stood up politely, bowed and clasped his fists in salute: "Uncle..."
"Could it be that Cao Cao wants to attack Sun Quan eastward, and General Guan sent you to ask if you can help?" Lan Tian asked doubtfully.
Guan Ping said in surprise: "My uncle is as clever as Zhuge's military advisor. The governor of Lu personally went to Jiangxia to ask for help and send troops. My father felt that the matter was serious, so he sent me out..."
"What did the military advisor say?" Lan Tian asked.
"The military advisor said that the overall situation of the Sun-Liu Alliance must be taken into account. Considering that my uncle is still doing important things in Xichuan, he suggested that my father send troops to help, but he cannot give full assistance..." Guan Ping answered truthfully.
Lan Tianxin said that the military advisor was indeed cautious. He smiled and said to Guan Ping: "The military advisor has far-reaching strategies. I have no other opinions. I will go back and tell General Guan to take care of himself. It is best not to go to Jiangdong in person to take risks. The Jiangxia navy is already in danger." Not many, just send some people to build up your reputation."
"I understand, uncle, the military situation is urgent. Please forgive me for not staying for a long time. I have to go back to resume my life immediately." Guan Ping cupped his fists and saluted before leaving.
Lan Tian nodded, "In that case, bring some fruits to quench your thirst on the road..."
"Wei." Guan Ping clasped his fists in thanks.
Guan Ping left in a hurry, and Lan Tian asked Gao Yuan to send a few baskets of fruits on the boat, and asked him to take them back to Jiangxia for Guan Yu to try. Then Lan Tian went to the Press and Press Office to find Jiang Wan.
Lan Tian affirmed the role of the Yangtze River Review, but should not make dry comments, and suggested that quoting the views of celebrities can increase the popularity of the Yangtze River Newspaper. The commentators should not just focus on the characters, but also comment on major historical events, as long as they are thought-provoking.
Jiang Wan was deeply moved after hearing this, but hesitantly said: "The fourth issue of the Yangtze River News was published at the beginning of this month, but it was delayed due to the treatment of the borer plague. Otherwise, we should cancel the Yangtze River Review first and wait until the fifth issue of September." Will we add new ones in the next period?”
"Just do it if you think of it. As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about being late for a good meal. If you think about it slowly, it won't hurt to publish the fourth issue in August." Lan Tian said to himself, and no one is urging you to update it. What are you afraid of?
"The teacher said that we should quote the opinions of famous people. How should we quote them and who should be quoted?" Jiang Wan asked again.
Lan Tian smiled and said: "Send people from the Press and Press Office to record each other's opinions in the form of conversations. I believe that with the influence accumulated in the first three issues of the Yangtze River News, celebrities in Jingxiang and Xiang will be willing to report it."
Jiang Wan nodded as if he understood, and Lan Tian added: "You can talk to anyone about anything, as long as you remember two principles."
"What principle?" Jiang Wan humbly asked for advice.
"First of all, don't talk about things in Jingzhou, and secondly, don't talk about the people in Jingzhou." Lan Tian replied firmly.
"Why is this?" Jiang Wan was very puzzled.
Lantian stretched out two fingers and bent them one by one, and said slowly: "First, there is no perfect policy in the world. If you discuss your own family affairs without control and discuss national affairs, you may be used by the enemy to cause turmoil; secondly, if you comment on the characters in Jingzhou, you will make the critics There is a strange connection between the author and the person being criticized; we are not doing a monthly review, but we are making the newspaper a weapon to unite people's hearts and dismantle the enemy's fighting spirit."
"Jiang Wan takes the order."
Lantian walked out of the newspaper office and went to a pesticide workshop. He found that the raw materials for making pesticides were in short supply again, so he ordered all counties to send people to collect and send them to Quanling. Finally, he had to go to the experimental field outside the city to check the pest control situation.
After nearly 20 days of hard work, the first generation of borer larvae in the rice-producing areas of Jingnan counties have been basically controlled. However, they cannot relax in the disaster year and must maintain their nerves until the rice matures.
Lantian has been deliberately preventing insects since the end of last year, but there are still large areas of borers appearing in Jingnan. Their tenacity is incredible. It is unclear where these borers came from, whether they came from Jiaozhou, Jiangbei, or Jiangdong. of? That's all blocked by mountains and rivers.
When Lantian returned to his home after dusk, his family had already had dinner, and everyone sat in the backyard enjoying the cool air and admiring the moon.
As soon as Lan Tian walked into the garden connected to the back house, Lan Ji, who was extremely clever, rushed over. Adou followed him without knowing what was going on, while Lan Yuan was as steady as an old dog washing his feet in cold water, because it was already past midnight.
Lantian had previously set a rule that no matter how crazy the children played during the day, they must go to bed at 3:00 am. Children of this age must get enough sleep.
"Ji'er, Adou, what are you doing?" Gan Qian called and chased after him.
After what happened to Zhou Shan last time, the entire prefecture had strengthened its guards, especially the garden connected to the back house. The female guards trained by Lu Lingqi patrolled around the clock, but Gan Qian just couldn't rest assured.
As soon as Gan Qian walked to the garden gate, she saw Lan Ji and Adou sitting on Lan Tian's arms and playing, and her adopted brother came towards them with a child in each hand.
"Why don't you come down quickly? Your father and uncle have been tired all day." Gan Qian frowned and scolded.
Lan Ji sat on Lan Tian's left arm and looked disapproving. He smiled and said, "Father, he is so good at martial arts. How can he be tired after holding two children?"
Lan Tian's head went numb after hearing this. He has nothing to do with martial arts. He can only have some strength. "Ji'er, who did you listen to? That your father is a martial artist?"
"Father, please stop pretending, aunt has already told us." Lan Ji said mysteriously.
Lan Tian looked at Gan Qian innocently and said to himself, Sister, what did you say to the children?
Gan Qian quickly explained: "I didn't say anything. Ji'er, did you hear me wrong?"
At this time, Adou, who was sitting on Lantian's right arm, said, "Mom, it's me who told Ji Di today how powerful my uncle was when he was young..."
"Adou, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. A man must be honest and trustworthy." Gan Qian frowned. After going around for a long time, are you still spreading rumors?
Adou said calmly: "Did uncle save you in Xiapi City?"
Gan Qian nodded, "That's what happened. When Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, your father was defending in Xiaopei, and I stayed in Xiapi with other family members. It was indeed your uncle who took the risk and saved me."
Adou said with a smile: "Isn't that enough? My uncle fought off more than twenty thugs with his bare hands and killed one of them with one punch. Did he punch through the chest?"
The more Lan Tian listened, the more outrageous it became. What do you mean the chest was penetrated? I'm not One Punch Man. Is there something wrong with Adou's understanding? Or is someone deliberately mythologizing me?
