Lantian entered the Longbian Prefecture and finally sat down on the chief wooden chair. Jiaozhi has close trade relations with Guangzhou. New furniture such as chairs and benches are widely spread throughout Jiaozhou. People can do whatever they feel comfortable with. The kneeling system has been adopted in Jiaozhou. Abandon it completely.
Shi and Shiren stood with their heads down and waited for "Fa Luo". The huge family that Shi Xie brothers had managed for decades collapsed at this moment.
"Wei Yangong was so angry that he fell off his horse. The doctor who accompanied the army just completed the diagnosis. His life can be saved, but his legs will no longer be able to stand and walk in the future, and he will no longer be qualified to serve as the governor of Jiaozhi."
Lantian's tone was calm, and there was no teasing or ridicule in his voice. Shi, Shilin's uncle and nephew didn't know what Lantian meant, so they didn't respond in time.
"Since the eldest son has returned from Jiangdong, how about you serve as the ruler for me?" Lan Tian said meaningfully.
"Am I suitable?"
Shi Zhi was greatly surprised. He knew that his abilities were mediocre. He and his wife should have died in a foreign country without Hu Ke's care during their stay in Jiangdong. When they arrived in Guangzhou, the real Sun Bu was arrested. The fake Sun Bu followed him first to Hepu and then to Jiaozhi. Shi Zhi reminded He doesn't want to go against Lan Tian, because the scholar family is like ants in the eyes of the other party.
The scene of meeting with Guangzhou emerged in his mind. Starting from his experience in Jiangdong, Lan Tian analyzed Sun Quan's situation thoroughly, showing that the alliance between the Shi family and the Sun family was seeking death. Now the only way to survive is to be loyal to the King of Hanzhong. Give up the privileges of the scholar family in Jiaozhou.
Shi Yan could only bow his head under the eaves. While agreeing to Lan Tian's request, he also made a request. Afterwards, his father Shi Xie was spared his life. He wanted to have a good death at the age of more than 80 years old.
Lan Tian's words just now gave the answer. Shi Yan had no idea about rights at this time, so he had such a question.
Lantian nodded slightly, "You are the eldest son of Duke Weiyan, and it is only natural that you will inherit the throne of Jiaozhi."
"Although I really want to contribute to Jiaozhi, I am not very knowledgeable and talented, and I am worried that I will miss the important affairs of the government." The scholar has no children, and at this time he just wants to retire and enjoy his old age with his wife.
"Don't worry, eldest son, I won't let you fight alone. I will select a group of young officials to assist you in governing Jiaozhi. Don't refuse. Isn't your second brother going to do a good job as the governor of Hepu?" Lan Tian said. Rigorous and not allowed to refuse by Shiren.
"Your Majesty is so kind to me, my nephew, why don't you say thank you?" The scholar agreed, thinking that Lantian would send someone here, what else do you need to worry about? It's nothing more than a name.
"I tried my best to do it." Shi Yan thanked him with his hands.
"I don't know how the master will deal with the rebels?" Seeing Lan Tian's attitude of "thundering means and a bodhisattva's heart", Shi lowered his head and asked carefully, hoping that the other party would be more tolerant of Shi's family.
Lan Tian stroked his beard and replied: "Of course it will be handled according to the law. The Jiaozhou Criminal Cao will come to review it later. I will not raise the butcher knife randomly."
"Uh" When Shi heard that there was still room for maneuver, he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
"Wei Yangong is seriously injured, and Dr. Long Bian may not be very clever. It is recommended that he be sent to Guangzhou Medical College for treatment. If the eldest son wants to stay in Jiaozhi, you should go to Guangzhou with him. After you recover, you will return to your hometown in Guangxin for retirement," Lantian told the scholar. An escape route was also arranged.
"Thank you, Mr. Fu." The scholar cupped his hands and clasped his fists.
When the scholar bowed his hands in salute, hearty laughter came from outside the palace. Generals such as Samoko, Gao Shun, and Lan Ji entered the palace one after another. The tall figures of the generals made the uncles and nephews of the scholar's family feel more oppressed. The scholar's knowledge and interest attracted the scholar. Yan said goodbye and left.
"Have all the tens of thousands of Long Bian soldiers been settled?" Lan Tian looked curious.
Shamoko said with a smile: "The dragon soldiers are not as good as the Cham soldiers. After defeat, they are as well-behaved as lambs. It is really not difficult to restrain them."
"Father, there are still 45,000 troops in the dragon formation. But if they are sent out to fight, they cannot fight. They will also consume a lot of food for no reason. If they stay, they will always be a disaster. How can we deal with it properly?" Lan Yuan asked with clasped fists.
Lan Tian smiled and said: "With the combat power of the dragon formation, we can't continue to serve as idiots in the army. The Wuxi barbarians in Lao Sha are good at building cities. We can focus on teaching the dragon formation to build cities, build bridges, pave roads, repair water conservancy, etc., and make unified records. Under the jurisdiction of the Gong Cao, Xu An has been complaining to Jiang Wan that there are no people dedicated to construction, and he has to wait until the people are slack in farming to recruit them. Wouldn’t it be just right for people to come now?"
"Sir, you really turned decay into magic. Now that the dragon formations have taken over the construction, our people can concentrate on fighting. However, when the labor force suddenly increases by 40,000 to 50,000 workers, can Mr. Xu be able to handle it?" Shamoko He asked with a silly smile.
Lan Tian shook his head, "It's impossible for all of them to work as workers for the Gongcao, and the remaining half will be handled by the Bingcao."
"How can that be done? There are not many places for soldiers to employ people, so the selection conditions are very strict. Veterans who have fallen into battle have to be selected repeatedly. Sir, suddenly arranged for 20,000 useless people to come in. What is the meaning of the existence of soldiers?" Gao Shun is the supervisor of Hu Ben Martial Arts Hall. The hospital is still in charge of Jiaozhou Bingcao. He doesn't understand Lantian's arrangements very much.
Lan Tian smiled and explained: "It's rare to see you Boping so excited. They are the same as the workers working on Cao Jianxiu, they are just under the jurisdiction of Cao Shu Yamen."
"Then there has to be something to do, right? The Gongcao coordinates the construction tasks across the state. They have endless work to do there, but the Bingcao only manages logistics and equipment. There really is no need for so many idle people." Gao Shun stated the facts. reason.
"After Jiaozhi, Hepu, Jiuzhen, and Rinan were taken back, Jiaozhou's territory is now very vast. People and goods exchanges with Guangzhou as the center will be quite frequent in the future. The shipping and water transport industries are facing a huge gap. Leave these people to Li If you want to go to shipbuilding and shipping, you may need to increase your manpower in the future." Lan Tian shook his head slightly.
"I knew sir had a deep meaning, but I couldn't help but ask clearly." Gao Shun nodded in admiration.
"Father, how will you deal with the rebels of the Shi family? Won't they all survive?" The second son Lan Ji also raised his own question. He followed the army to watch the battle and killed two generals. The youth camp learned solidly in the Huben Martial Arts Hall for half a year. , Gao Shun thought it was time to go to the battlefield, and planned to find an opportunity to talk to Lan Tian.
Lan Tian frowned and stroked his beard: "Everything has to wait until Cao Cao is convicted according to law. My suggestion is to only punish the culprit, and the remaining accomplices can be treated leniently. The situation in Jiaozhou is different from that in Jiangdong. As a father, I will not learn from Sun Ce and rely on killing to stabilize the situation. ."
Jiaozhi was calmly defeated, and Jiaozhou no longer had any worries. Lan Yuan had been guessing Lan Tian's next move. When he heard him compare Jiaozhou with Jiangdong, he immediately knew Lan Tian's next intention.
"Father plans to set an example for the Jiangdong Sun family by handling the scholar family?"
"Huh? Children can be taught."
Lan Tian looked at Lan Yuan with a look of relief, thinking that the eldest son had a very profound understanding of the problem. The younger son looked at his father and brother with a question mark on his face, thinking, where are the secret codes here?
