Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even the small rivers and lakes in front of Lantian. After he announced that the banquet was open, in addition to enjoying the food, he was so cheerful that he slowly started to join the party.
Lantian hosted a banquet for fifteen people today. After careful observation, he found that they were divided into seven small groups.
Gao Shun didn't drink and seemed withdrawn, so he formed an independent group. Xu Shuang formed a group with Song Chen and the newly arrived Pang De. The barbarian king Shamoke had a good relationship with Li Yi through Gan Ning's relationship. Liu Xi, Yao Qi, Xue Zong, and Cheng Bingtong were his teachers. Friends of the disciples, Hua Tuo and Xu An, two self-contained factions of the Medical Department, Hu Ke was passively classified into the camp of Shi Zhi, while Jiang Wan was free among everyone.
Seeing the scene before him, Lan Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Liu Bei's ability is so powerful. Facing so many faces, he can still bring together people with different personalities, different interests and abilities, and maintain Live in harmony and work hard together.
People only remember Liu Bei's benevolence, but his most powerful thing is actually the art of emperors. This kind of ability is not even available to Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, or Lantian who has traveled through time. Some are destined to achieve great things.
As the saying goes: Times create heroes, and heroes also create times.
Jiang Wan drank and chatted happily in front of each table. Finally, he walked to Lan Tian with a wine glass and sat on the floor.
"Gong Yan is very happy today." Lan Tian greeted with a smile.
Jiang Wan raised his hands and toasted, saying: "I heard that Mrs. Lan is in her arms, so I wish you all the best in advance."
Lan Tian frowned: "Mr. Yuan Hua is already in his sixties, why can't he keep this little secret? I didn't expect to tell Gong Yan so soon."
Jiang Wan smiled slightly, looked back at Gao Shun and replied: "Mr. Yuanhua didn't tell me, but this is not some confidential military information. It is a family matter and a happy event for the prince. I should share the joy with everyone."
Only then did Lan Tian find out that it was Gao Shun who was the "snitch". How could this guy be more restless than himself? Maybe she already regarded Lu Lingqi as her daughter, so she couldn't hide her inner joy.
"Since Gong Yan knows, don't forget to prepare gifts after autumn." Lan Tian joked.
"Definitely, definitely." Jiang Wan nodded quickly.
"After you handed over the Yangtze River Newspaper to Yuan Zhi, how are the preparations for the new Lingnan Newspaper going?" Lan Tian asked, changing the subject.
Jiang Wan sat upright and replied: "Only collecting local information in Jiaozhou, and also using engraving printing, the Lingnan Newspaper is much easier than the Yangtze River Newspaper. The first issue will be published soon, but I will remove the Yangtze River Commentary section." Now, it’s really not easy to just find hot spots to comment on from Jiaozhou, and the most important thing is that it won’t last long.”
Lan Tian nodded and said: "Gong Yan is indeed experienced, but if there is no comment section, the newspaper will be less interesting. How about changing it to anecdotes? If you can't find a suitable subject in Jiaozhou, you can read it from the Yangtze River News Select content for processing.”
Jiang Wan's eyes lit up, "Fu Jun has thought carefully. Anecdotes are a good idea. The Changjiang News published a special issue at the end of last year and reported Sun Quan's failure in Hefei last year. I will go back and process it."
"If this is the case, I can give you a title." Lan Tian smiled slightly.
"I would like to hear my advice." Jiang Wan bowed his hands in greeting.
Lan Tian said meaningfully: "Having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, who gave away one hundred thousand to Hefei."
"This is a wonderful title, but Sun Quan should hate Lord Death." Jiang Wan shook his head.
Lan Tian snorted coldly: "I won't offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend them. Is he still afraid of others telling him about the scandal he committed?"
Jiang Wan nodded, "Although Sun Quan suffered an ugly defeat this time, he accidentally spread the plague to Cao Ying. Li Dian unfortunately contracted the disease after the war and passed away before Cao Cao could reward him."
"It can be considered a consolation prize for him. Plague is often associated with wars and natural disasters, so I spare no effort to promote medicine."
Lantian sighed. Large-scale epidemics occurred many times during the Three Kingdoms period. If he did not develop medicine, he would have to leave his fate to luck.
Jiang Wan affirmatively agreed: "The emperor is promoting agriculture, medicine, and running schools. I believe it won't be long before Jiaozhou will become a paradise on earth and no longer a barbaric land."
"Gong Yan, you have a heavy burden on you, can you cope with it now?" There are not many political talents available in Lantian. A capable person like Jiang Wan can only hold many positions. In addition to serving as a Jiaozhou special driver, he also serves as a He is the head of the Publishing House and the prefect of Nanhai.
Jiang Wan smiled and replied: "I can still cope with it so far. Fortunately, Fu Jun has trained many young talents over the years. The problems in the countryside can be solved, but it is very easy at my level."
Lantian: "Now the three counties of Cangwu, Yulin and Nanhai have fully opened Mongolian schools. After two years of study, those who are both good in character and academics can be promoted to Guangzhou Academy to continue their studies. Mr. Cheng Guo and others are doing their best to annotate ancient books. At that time, some classics will be selected as teaching materials, and the children will not have to complete the elementary school and then return to their hometown to raise chickens and cattle."
"The master is really thoughtful. The children are only twelve or thirteen years old when they graduate from Mengxu. At this age, they are really too young to go back to their hometowns to work. It is better to go to Guangzhou Academy to study for a few years. It is easy to produce textbooks and materials with engraving printing, but I wonder how many years the academic system of the academy will be set? If it is too long, the state's tax will be tight." Jiang Wan asked worriedly.
Lan Tian explained: "The Mongolian School is supported by taxes from each county. I plan to set the schooling system at Guangzhou College for five years. After completing the studies, I will be assigned to various yamen as officials, study in academies, and be teachers in the Mongolian School. It will be feasible after two or three years of training. Guan Li will be able to cultivate a large number of talents for Jiaozhou in less than twenty years.
The students and the government each have to pay half of the expenses for studying in the academy. No one will cherish cheap knowledge. It is said that the law is not taught lightly, the Tao is not sold cheaply, the teacher does not follow the path, and the doctor does not keep the door open."
"Your Majesty, Jiang Wan is well advised."
"The city of Guangzhou should become more and more prosperous, and it will also widely absorb the surrounding population. The counties in Nanhai County must be forward-looking in their governance. The major workshops in the city's craftsman area, some advanced crafts such as logs, fur, silk, etc., can be appropriately The spillover will be distributed to surrounding counties, so that some people can be retained," Lantian reminded.
Jiang Wan nodded and replied: "I will make arrangements tomorrow. There is indeed a difficulty in Nanhai County at the moment. Longchuan and Jieyang counties in the northeast, close to the border of Yangzhou, are mostly inhabited by Yue people of different ethnic groups. These people have been fishing and hunting for generations. To make a living, your rice cultivation cannot be promoted for the time being, and the Mongolian school and medical center have not been built yet.”
When I heard that Lantian was governed by an ethnic area, and it was two counties close to Sun Quan's territory, the best situation was to leave it as it was and form a strategic buffer zone in a similar way to "strengthen the wall and clear the country". After all, Sun Quan had an old tradition of backstabbing. No defense, but Lantian really wants to disintegrate through penetration.
Baiyue is Sun Quan's back garden. Soochow has been fighting Baiyue throughout his life. Do you want to 'help' and educate him? Thinking of this, Lan Tian suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
