"It's better to send someone capable." Lan Tian nodded slightly.
Jiang Wan raised his hand and recommended: "General Samoko was originally the barbarian king of Wuxi. He is very loyal to you. It is better to let him lead the barbarian troops to station in the two counties. This will just realize the strategy of 'using barbarians to control barbarians'."
Lan Tian frowned, "Use the Wuxi barbarians to suppress the Yue people? Why do I feel like I'm fighting violence with violence? Besides, the barbarians will continue to build Guangzhou City. General Sha can't touch them lightly if he stays here."
"If the governor has such concerns, there is really no good solution now. We can only prioritize the development of Guangzhou City and surrounding counties, and then slowly extend it to the outside." Jiang Wan sighed.
"Chen Tu went to Yulin to take up his post. Did Governor Yuan come back personally?" Lan Tian suddenly changed the subject and asked.
Jiang Wan was startled when he heard this, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yulin County has many mountains and a large territory. Governor Yuan is probably very short of personnel. Chen Tu has been in office for more than a year, and he has never mentioned returning an official to Nanhai."
Lan Tian nodded, "The construction of Guangzhou City in the past two years has been too cumbersome. I almost forgot about the rotation of officials. Tomorrow I will compile a letter and send it to Bushan County to ask Gongyan for some talents to govern Longchuan and Jieyang. Yuan General, he is not Pixiu, he can't just go in and out."
Does Yu Lin still have such talents? When Lai Gong was in office, he managed the job reluctantly. Although Jiang Wan nodded in agreement on the surface, he never guessed who it would be.
Lan Tian and Jiang Wan chatted for a long time until Shamoko and Li Yiduan came over with wine glasses.
"Jiang Biejia, please don't hold back. We won't even get a chance to toast." Shamoko muttered from the front, while Li Yi nodded gently in greeting.
Jiang Wan quickly stood up and responded awkwardly: "Well, I forgot the time when I was talking to Mr. Fu. I'm sorry for delaying everyone. I'll go back to my seat right now."
Shamoko frowned and said, "The main reason is that you only talk and don't drink. How can you do it at the banquet without drinking? How long has it been since Mr. Fu got drunk? General Li and I will accompany him to have a good drink."
Lantian's eyes widened when he heard this, and he thought to himself that it was you, a good guy, who had become a full-time drunkard in the absence of Yide. The last time you got drunk, Lu Lingqi got pregnant with her daughter. This guy Shamoke had a lot of credit for getting drunk.
Dama, drinking and driving is dangerous.
"General Sha, drink in moderation." Lan Tian reminded.
"Hey, the Lord's banquet doesn't happen often. I'll do it first out of respect." Samoko raised his chin and drank it all in one gulp.
"Uh, me too." Li Yi drank first.
Lan Tian frowned, "Let's agree first that if there are too many people today, we will only have one cup."
Seeing Lan Tian finish his drink, Samoko filled the cup with a smile and continued to advise: "Not only did you build a hometown for us and let them all live a life of adequate food, but you also allowed those thousands of tribesmen to stay in the South China Sea. We, Sha Mo Ke, Moko really has nothing to repay, so he can only drink two more glasses of wine on their behalf, you can do whatever you want."
Pang De, who was at the table, burst into tears when he saw Shamoko's sincere feelings. He admired Lan Tian's ability to cohere these people, but he didn't know that this was not the first time that Shamoko had used this persuasion to drink.
"The Wuxi barbarians have contributed to the construction of Guangzhou City, and it is natural for them to stay in Nanhai. You should stop making excuses and go to General Pang if you want to drink." Lan Tian waved his hand and said in his heart that you can't use this trick of persuading people to drink.
Seeing that his plan had been seen through, Shamoko motioned to Li Yi to follow him.
Li Yi hesitated while holding the glass of wine. Lan Tian smiled and said, "You'd better go find General Pang. I'll have a word with General Li."
"Anthracene is good." Samoko reluctantly left.
"What are your orders from the Lord?" Li Yi asked, clasping his fists.
"Has the location of the shipyard been chosen?" Lan Tian asked.
Li Yi nodded and replied: "There is a large backwater bay between Panyu and Boluo. The terrain is wide and the water is stable. It is an excellent place to build a dock. We will wait until the governor is free to decide on the specific location."
Lan Tian frowned: "I don't have to make the decision on everything. I don't know much about choosing a location for building a dock. You can just discuss it with the craftsmen in the workshop."
"Master Fu, the wind and waves at the seaside are much stronger than those at the river. It is very difficult for us to build a ship. Why not find a place in Cangwu?" Li Yi asked puzzledly. He used to command the navy in Bajun, but when he went to the seaside, he found that it was different. , the previous understanding of ships was too narrow.
"A ship that can sail freely at sea will be as good as walking on inland rivers. We should not be afraid of failure, let alone difficulties. Ships built in the South China Sea must not only conquer the Yangtze River and Yellow River, but also find ways to conquer the vast ocean. sea.
There are infinite scenes on the other side of the sea, waiting for future generations to explore and discover. If we take one more step forward now, they will be able to take one less step in the future. "Lan Tian encouraged Li Yi.
"I can't afford it." Li Yi nodded first, then brought up the old matter again: "I once mentioned to you whether Jiaozhou should form a naval army."
Li Yi was in charge of the navy in Bajun, and later took over Gan Ning's water transport team. Lantian moved the state capital to Guangzhou City and asked him to survey the terrain and prepare to build a dock. However, he still wanted to make progress and lead troops to fight and make achievements. .
There are basically no cavalry in the mountainous south, and the infantry has trap troops and Samoko barbarians, so he suggested forming a Jiaozhou navy. After all, professional people do professional things.
Lan Tian nodded and replied with a smile: "Jiaozhou is crisscrossed by waterways, so it is natural that we need naval forces. But there is no war now, so the number of troops should not be too large. We still adhere to the principle of elite troops. I will temporarily give you a strength of three thousand people."
"only."
Li Yi seemed very excited. His position in the army was Zhonglang General. Normally, he could command more than a thousand soldiers. With the same army establishment, 3,000 people would normally need a general to command.
"You ask some sailors to learn shipbuilding and ship repair. Any water war is inseparable from ships." Lan Tian suggested.
"The last general takes orders." Li Yi clasped his fists and his heart was surging.
After Li Yi left with a smile on his face, Xu Shuang, Pang De, Song Chen, Liu Xi and others all went to toast. Lan Tian was overwhelmed and had to move out of Hua Tuo, told everyone about the birth of his daughter, and said that he would not return again within a year. Greedy for drinking.
Everyone knew that Lan Tian loved his wife very much, and they also understood the relationship between the trapped army and Lu Lingqi, so they could only catch and fight each other on their own, and no longer dared to pester Lan Tian to persuade her to drink.
The banquet ended at Xu. Lan Tian walked into the back house very clearly and found that Lu Lingqi was still waiting for him.
"Why don't you rest early, Xiaojun? Mr. Yuanhua told you not to overwork yourself," Lan Tian said nervously.
Lu Lingqi sat at the table in the bedroom, holding her chin with one hand and looking at Lan Tian with a silly smile, "My husband has not returned, so I can't sleep alone."
"I'll come back early to stay with you in the future. Xiaojun will wait on the bed first. I'll go and do some simple cleaning and then come back to stay with you." Lan Tian pointed to the bed and said.
"Two or three months is a critical period. Won't my husband carry me to bed?" Lu Lingqi asked meaningfully.
Lan Tian knew that Lu Lingqi was acting coquettishly, so he smiled lightly and bent down to hold her in his arms, walked a few steps slowly and gently placed her on the couch.
"Hug me back, Xiaojun, don't think too much." Lan Tian reminded me kindly.
"I hate it. Go and wash up." Lu Lingqi's face was burning.
On a spring night, the sounds of animals outside the window were melodious and desolate, but Lan Tian and the person beside him slept in a pure embrace. Relatives who were not related by blood had long had a close connection.
