Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 238 Chapter 230 Seven upside down weeping willows?
The agricultural science students of Quanling Academy usually have a schooling period of half a year. After completing their studies, they return to the local area to participate in agricultural guidance.

A small number of students with excellent character and learning will be retained and appointed as teachers and researchers of agricultural science.

No matter how busy Lan Tian was at work, he never gave up the promotion of agronomy. He wanted to spread the knowledge of modern agronomy he had mastered to researchers with high comprehension.

Although these remaining people belonged to the school, they were directly led by Lan Tian.

As a closed disciple of Lantian, Deng Ai's main responsibility in Quanling College is to contact and manage this group of valuable agricultural researchers.

According to the different types and doses of pesticides, the agricultural researchers marked out more than a dozen areas in the test field, numbered them after taking the pesticides and spraying them, and finally recorded the results through the growth of the seedlings.

In the end, which pesticide has the most suitable effect and whether the dose should be adjusted requires a lot of manual observation and recording, and finally analyzes and selects samples based on the data.

There are no scientific instruments in this era, and we can only observe with the naked eye over time, and the results cannot be seen overnight.

The simple selection of pesticides could have been left to Deng Ai. Lan Tian came to the test field himself to show how much he attaches importance to this matter.

Agricultural research researchers no longer use bulky bamboo slips for records, but distribute rough paper produced by Quanling Paper Mill, which is cut and used for writing.

The papermaking workshop was built by Lantian after he returned to Lingling from Jiaozhou. At that time, the Confucianism teachers of Quanling Academy reported that they had finished teaching the Thousand-Character Classics. If they wanted to continue teaching, they needed to add new textbooks.

Lan Tian suddenly thought of "Half the Analects of Confucius governing the world", and he planned to distribute textbooks to each student, but the bamboo slips were heavy and unfavorable for dissemination, so he decided to start papermaking.

Although papermaking cannot directly increase productivity, it is of great significance to the spread and record of various technologies, especially the spread of Confucianism.

Papermaking has matured in this era, but it only served the gentry and nobles, and it has not been popularized in the world due to low output.

Based on the idea that he can make it himself without asking for help, Lan Tian chose a place to build a house near the Quanling Army Workshop, and selected relevant professional disciples from the school to work in the paper workshop. Currently, the paper produced is only provided to the Quanling School.

"Is the paper notebook distributed to you useful?" Lan Tian asked, pointing to the small notebook in Deng Ai's arms.

Deng Ai nodded quickly, "It's so easy to use, it's light to hold, and I remember a lot"

Lantian convened agricultural researchers and encouraged them with relief: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Now that you have a convenient paper notebook, you must remember to observe more and write more.

After mastering the growth law of crops, you must try boldly and carefully verify it, whether it is preventing and controlling diseases and insect pests, cultivating grain varieties that increase production, or grafting new varieties.

In the future, we will compile an encyclopedia of agricultural science, and you will not only leave your name in history, but also benefit future generations. "

Leave a name in history, write a book and write a story, how can these poor people dare to think?But these words came from Lan Tian's mouth, and their eyes were full of hope.

"Sir, can we really make a name in history?" An agricultural researcher asked doubtfully.

Lan Tian said with certainty: "Of course, no matter who made the contribution, his name will definitely be included in the Encyclopedia of Agricultural Sciences in the future, I assure you."

After hearing this, the agricultural researchers were all happy. This is a matter of honoring the ancestors, and everyone's enthusiasm is high.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the agricultural researchers overflowing the experimental field, Gao Shun couldn't help feeling: "Mr. made paper into a book and a notebook for recording, which is really ten thousand times better than bamboo slips."

"If "Wei Liaozi" was recorded in paper books, Boping wouldn't have to push a cart to deliver it to me." Lan Tian said with a smile.

Gao Shun said with a smile: "Sir, what you said is that you didn't open a paper workshop just for the school, did you?"

"Of course not, this paper is still very useful, and you will know the secret of it in the future." Lan Tian said mysteriously.

Gao Shun married and had children in Linwu County. Lan Tian watched him and Deng Ai think of Xindengzhuang, and said to himself, "I haven't been to Guiyang for a while, so I don't know how Xiao Lizi and the others are doing."

"Sir, do you want to go to Guiyang for inspection?" Gao Shun asked.

Lan Tian thought for a while and nodded, "I will take you to get ready. I will go to Guiyang with me tomorrow."

"Wei." Deng Ai clasped his fists in response.

Although Lantian supervised the military and administration of the four counties in Jingnan in name, he did not intervene excessively in the management of the three counties other than Lingling.

There is also an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship with the county guards, as long as agricultural production is arranged according to unified requirements, and military and political loyalty to Liu Bei is sufficient.

After Liu Beiquan took over Jingzhou, the Yuan Cong faction and Xuzhou faction who fought for him all occupied important positions. In order to balance the interests of the Jingzhou gentry group, he not only took away Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Huo Jun, Zhuo Ying and other generals when he entered Sichuan, but also Promoted Pan Jun, Xiang Lang, Fan Jian, Yin Mo, etc. to be state and county officials and county magistrates.
At the same time that Zhao Yun was appointed as the Sima staying in the camp and in charge of Jingzhou's internal affairs, Zhao Fan was also transferred to Jiangling to serve as an idler in the state government.

Liu Bei appointed Hao Pu from Yiyang as the prefect of Guiyang, and Liao Li from Wuling and Linyuan as the prefect of Changsha.

So far, the Jingzhou gentry, led by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, has become the second largest force under Liu Bei after the Yuan Cong faction.

From Quanling to Linwu, you can take the north-south road. The north road changes from Xiangshui River to Leishui River and Chenxian County to the land road.

The North Road is far away and has a lot of water, so the time spent on the road is relatively less. The South Road is near the water and is short, but it takes Jiuyi Mountain Road, so it takes a little longer.

"Let's go south this time. You go to the medical hall and call Xingba, and let him bring Gan Gui to meet his relatives."

Lantian didn't want to disturb Hao Pu, the county guard, so he chose to enter Guiyang secretly from the South Road.

"Wei." Gao Shun answered with a red face and clasped his fists. Gan Ning's wife's relatives are in Linwu, and his wife is from Xindengzhuang, so he has to take his son back to see.

After Gao Shun left, Lu Lingqi came into the room carrying soup and tea.

She put it by the table and asked softly: "Lingling has been inspected, where is my husband going?"

"I plan to go to Linwu Xindengzhuang to have a look, and let Xingba and Boping take their son to look for relatives by the way," Lan Tian explained.

"You take the children with you, right? Shizai is going back to see his family, so he can take care of them along the way. Last time you took Ji'er to Jiangxia alone. .” Lu Lingqi reminded.

"Both Yuan'er and Ji'er are going? What about Adou?" Lan Tian was worried about his nephew.

Lu Lingqi frowned and asked, "Simply take them away?"

Lan Tian hurriedly shook his head: "This time we're going to the south of Jiuyi Mountain, and the car and horses are bumpy. I'm worried that sister will feel sorry for Ah Dou."

Lu Lingqi smiled and said, "Adou has been playing with Yuan'er and Ji'er for the past two years, and he has become less delicate than when he first came here. Anyway, you asked Gao Yuan to prepare an extra carriage, and I will go to Sister Aunt to discuss it."

"If sister doesn't want to, just leave Ji'er in Quanling to accompany Ah Dou." Lan Tian nodded and said.

At this time, everyone in the house had had dinner, and the sky quickly darkened.

While Lu Lingqi went to discuss with Gan Qian, Lan Tian poured hot water into the tub to soak his feet.

These days, he was tired of traveling around Lantian. He collapsed on the back of the chair while soaking his feet, and soon fell asleep.

Lan Tian dreamed that he became Lan Ji, climbing on a high branch to dig out a bird's nest, and a person under the tree rolled up his sleeves and pressed his hands against the trunk.

Suddenly Lantian felt the ground tremble, and the big tree under him was pulled up by the man like a green onion.

Lan Tian woke up in a cold sweat, only to find Lu Lingqi walking towards the couch with her in her arms.

"Husband, the water in the basin is cold, I will wait for you to rest on the couch."
