"Don't worry, Xiaojun, this is the main street of Quanling." Lan Tian smiled.
Sure enough, the carriage stopped at this time. Gao Shun dismounted and came over to lift the curtain and report: "Don't worry, my lord, the people of Quanling heard that your husband was leaving, and they should have come to see him off now."
Lu Lingqi asked in confusion: "My husband is sitting in the carriage, how do these people know?"
Gao Shun shook his head and did not answer. Lan Tian quickly explained: "The news has spread out in the past few days. Maybe someone saw it in front of the mansion just now. Boping and I are still riding horses, and Xiaojun will take care of the children."
Lu Lingqi pursed her lips, "It's not easy for us to be in the same car with my husband."
"Mom, don't be depressed. Only in this way can your father win the hearts of the people. People like him don't just belong to us." Lan Yuan took Lu Lingqi's hand to comfort her.
Lu Lingqi looked at Lan Yuan in surprise, how old are you to understand this? Do I need you to remind me of my husband’s abilities?
Seeing his mother's strange expression, Lan Yuan quickly changed the subject and said to Lan Ji, "It seems that after we get settled in Jiaozhou, my father will send us to school."
Lan Ji frowned, "I can already recite the Thousand-Character Essay, so do I really need to send it to school? Which of those gentlemen can compare to my father? I'm still waiting to learn weapons from my mother when I'm older."
"Father doesn't have that much time to teach us," Lan Yuan replied looking at Lu Lingqi.
"When we get to Jiaozhou, I will teach you the steps first. You still need the strength to keep up with the weapons before you can learn them easily." Lu Lingqi said in her heart that in two years, Lan Ji will be sent to Guan Yu for training. I hope your boy can maintain such vitality.
"Great." Lan Ji and Lan Yuan clapped their hands at the same time.
Lan Tian walked out of the carriage, and the Luma who climbed on board waved to the people who came to see him off. The people in Quanling lived a prosperous life, and many people brought rice wine, cooked food, and even live chickens and ducks to say goodbye. Lan Tian would not accept gifts from the people at all.
With Gao Shun leading the way and Lu Lingqi guarding the surrounding areas, the people still behaved and left a passage for Lantian to slowly walk out of the city. The lively and crying scene on Quanling Street was like an upright official leaving office and giving an umbrella to the people. look.
The people expressed their emotions very simply. In the era of competition, officials like Lan Tian were simply the true gods in their minds.
Lan Tian remembered a saying: As long as there is food to eat, a prosperous age will be considered if people are not starving to death.
The agricultural knowledge brought by Lantian has changed Jingnan, and there are more places in the world waiting for him to change, but all of this will have to wait until the world is settled before it can be promoted, so he not only needs to promote planting technology, but also needs to help Liu Bei achieve unification. It is necessary to develop productive forces and improve the economic and political system.
History has been swept away by the torrent of the world's return to the gentry. Lantian is like a lonely rebel. The next stop is Jiaozhou, which is his experimental field. The ideal political, economic, military, and cultural systems will be slowly established in this remote wilderness. .
If Lan Tian had moved out of the system two thousand years later from the beginning, he might have been rejected by the entire world like Wang Mang, and could only slowly penetrate in a subtle way, point by point, and change through the power of time and space.
Lantian has been in this era for more than ten years, but he has not revealed all his knowledge in front of his dearest wife and children, even though every father wants his descendants to be better than himself.
If he fails to complete the change in this life, Lan Tian may learn from Zhang Zhongjing and record the vast amount of knowledge he has mastered before leaving the world and passing it on to his children and grandchildren.
While Lan Tian was thinking, Gao Shun shouted: "Sir, be careful."
The moment Lan Tian came to his senses, a flower was thrown from the crowd seeing him off, and it hit Lu's mane directly.
"Boping, don't be nervous, don't scare the people, these are just ordinary flowers." Lan Tian picked up the unknown flower and smelled it, bringing with it the smell of nature in the fields.
"I understand." Gao Shun nodded. He thought it was a hidden weapon just now.
In fact, Lantian was also shocked just now, because the passive attribute of Luma is to hinder the master. After he got it from Liu Bei, Lantian himself had not ridden it a few times.
Seeing that Lantian did not accept gifts, the people showed no objection to throwing flowers, so the onlookers followed suit, and people kept throwing flowers at Lu.
Lan Tian was immediately dumbfounded. From the original state of 'number one scholar parading', he directly transformed into an 'Oiran'. The carriage passing left colorful petals on the street, which was exactly what the saying "BMW cars and carriages filled the road with fragrance".
Enthusiastic people drove Lantian's carriages and horses from outside the prefect's mansion to the dock before stopping. Hao Pu, Jiang Wan and other officials seeing them off all lamented Lantian's high reputation.
Lantian and the others first took a boat to Shi'an County, and then changed boats to go south to Guangxin via the Lishui River.
The terrain of Jiaozhou runs east-west, including parts of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Vietnam in later generations. Because it was still a barbaric and uncivilized land at that time, there were few residents in the mountainous areas except for cities near the river.
The cities of Yulin and Cangwu counties controlled by Lantian at this time were also built near the river. People lived by the water. Many tributaries all converged on Yushui and finally flowed from Panyu into the sea. This was the Pearl River system in later generations.
Accessible waterways facilitate economic and cultural exchanges in various places, and it is also convenient for Lantian to issue government orders in Jiaozhou. Therefore, after arriving in Guangxin, Lantian is most concerned about the navigation conditions of each tributary. If there is silt that affects the passage of ships, personnel must be organized to clean it up during the dry season. The silt can be used as fertilizer for reclamation.
Guangxin is the second largest city in Jiaozhou after Longbian, and it is the political and economic center in the entire northern part of Jiaozhou, so Lai Gong suggested that Lantian set the seat of government in Guangxin.
After the Lantian family arrived in Guangxin, they lived in the general mansions of Wu Ju and Lu Fan, and worked together with Xiahou Zuan, the prefect of Cangwu.
After settling down his wife and children, Xia Houzan privately went to Lantian for advice: "Master Fu, you are new to Jiaozhou, how can you work in the same office as Beizhi? Why don't I just find a government office myself? Anyway, Beizhi is alone and all his family members are in Yizhou, so why not?" It doesn’t take much space.”
Lan Tian shook his head and said: "You are the governor of Cangwu, how can you do it casually? It's not appropriate."
"How about we recruit some civilian men from humble positions and build a new state capital for the emperor?" Xiahou Zuan asked again.
"When I first came to Jiaozhou, the people's hearts were not yet attached to me. How could I build a large-scale construction project just for pleasure? It would be better to work hard for a few years to let the people live and work in peace and contentment." Lan Tian refused again.
"Wei." Xia Houzun nodded and obeyed, thinking that General Lan was indeed kind to the people.
Lantian patted Xiahou Zuan on the shoulder, and then said sincerely: "General Xiahou, don't think that Jiaozhou is remote. The land under our feet has great potential. Sooner or later it will become the richest land in the world. We must work hard and don't let the lord down. "
Xia Houzun clasped his fists and said fiercely: "The last general will only obey the orders of the emperor."
A few days later, Lantian summoned officials from various places in Guangxin. In addition to meeting with the people below, he also prepared to announce some new decrees.
All the county magistrates and magistrates of Cangwu County were present, but only the prefect Yuan Wei of Yulin County was present.
