Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 245
During the Three Kingdoms period, the land was sparsely populated, but Linwu County was planned ahead of time by Lantian, and the residential areas were relatively concentrated. Coupled with the habit he developed when farming the fields, Li Yang also managed the fields by category. The fertile fields were used to grow staple food, and the lesser Plant supplementary food and vegetables.

The duck sheds in Xindengzhuang are set up in the mountains to the north, and most of the reservoirs in the village are also concentrated in this area.

Tree branches and bamboo blocks are used as fences around, and a small area is formed around every two reservoirs, and three to five hundred ducks are raised in each small area.

Lan Tian originally thought that captive breeding was based on the family as a unit, but Li Yang directly engaged in large-scale breeding. Each area has a special person on duty, responsible for feeding food, cleaning duck manure, and guarding the duck shed.

Looking at everything in front of him, Lan Tian thought to himself that you can learn by yourself without a teacher, and the wisdom of the working people is really extraordinary.

"Young owner, how do you think the arrangement is? I think the reservoir needs to be watched anyway, otherwise the children in the village are likely to fall into it, and raising ducks in a circle can get the best of both worlds." Li Yang said while scratching his head.

Lan Tian nodded: "The building and arrangement of the duck shed is very good, but the biggest risk of captivity is plague, and there is no specialized veterinarian in the farm now, you must pay attention to this point, and once you encounter a sick duck, you must promptly select it and burn it. It can be landfilled, but it cannot be eaten.”

Li Yang said with a smile: "Young owner, don't worry, everyone can eat enough now, and they won't be so hungry. In addition to the poisonous mushroom incident when we first came, everyone attaches great importance to food safety, and the village is also cultivating food safety. veterinary"

"That's good, you're a competent owner." After boasting, Lan Tian approached the fence, and saw that although there were many ducks inside, it was relatively tidy, and there was no scene of duck droppings all over the floor.

Farmyard manure is crucial to the growth of crops. These thousands of ducks are natural manure-making machines. They go through several rounds of cleaning every day, and then they are transported away by special personnel for disposal.

"Young Master" Li Yang asked cautiously again.

"What?" Lan Tian looked back at him suspiciously.

"The insecticide you mentioned at home just now." Li Yang hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, after the development is successful, the first batch will be distributed to Xindengzhuang." Lan Tian replied affirmatively.

Li Yang smiled and said, "That's good, that's good."

While the two of them were talking, the ducks in the duck pen not far from the east took off and landed collectively.

"What's going on?" Lan Tian asked suspiciously.

"I don't know." Li Yang was also confused.

"Let's go, let's take a look." Lan Tian walked quickly after speaking, followed by Li Yang, Gao Shun, Hao Pu and others.

Lan Tian walked forward quickly, and only halfway through he heard childish laughter.

Could it be that the five little ones have harmed the duck shed?
Everyone went to the fence and saw that it was indeed the five little ones who were making trouble. Each of them held a short bamboo stick in their hand, and several of them ran around chasing the ducks, while the children from the village stood by and watched.

"Brother, the enemy's reinforcements are coming, you protect the lord (A Dou) to break out from the back door, and Gan Gui and I will break the back." Lan Ji waved the bamboo stick and yelled softly, his appearance made people laugh.

Lan Yuan and A Dou looked at Lan Tian, ​​then took out the whistle in their arms and blew it. The children in the village swarmed after them, opened the small door to clean up the duck manure in the north and slipped away. Lan Ji and Gan Gui were indeed the last ones two people.

Lan Tian turned to look at Gao Shun, this group of children had known each other for less than two hours, and Lan Yuan was able to make them order and restrain them. You must not have taught this ability of domination, right?

"Sir, I'll follow and have a look." Gao Shun asked for instructions.

Lan Tian nodded and said, "Go ahead, let them have fun and don't cause trouble for the common people."

"Wei." Gao Shun clasped his fists and followed.

Gan Ning saw his son go crazy, so he also applied to Lan Tian to see the child.

"Boping, wait for me."

Looking at the backs of Gao Shun and Gan Ning going away, Hao Pu complimented with a smile: "The one who whistled and broke the whistle just now is the son of General Lan, right? He is really a hero."

"It's a little naughty, and it's causing trouble for our owner Li." Lan Tian shook his head and laughed at himself.

Li Yang said hastily: "The children are having fun, but it's too late for me to be happy. Xindengzhuang hasn't been this lively for a long time. Boys like to play war games."

Lan Tian: "Why isn't it lively? There should be quite a few children in the village, right?"

At first, when we were in Dengjiazhuang, Xinye, most of the villagers were refugees from the north, and most of them were unmarried due to poverty. After moving to Linwu County, life improved, and the old villagers got married and had children one after another, and the population of Xindengzhuang also increased accordingly. .

Li Yang scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "Master Shao, since we are talking about children, Xiao Li has a merciless request."

"Child?" Lan Tian was full of doubts.

"It is said that the son inherited the father's business, and our ancestors farmed the land for generations to live. These children should be like this when they grow up, but I heard that the owner of Shaozhuang ran a school in Quanling to recruit children from common people in the head of Guizhou? The school not only has agricultural subjects , Craftsmanship, and Confucianism?"

"That's right, but all kinds of students are being accepted, not limited to the children of the noble family or the children of the common people."

Opening a school to break the blockade of the gentry against the class is actually going against the sky in this era. Even Lantian cannot spread it all over Jingnan. He opened the school in Lingling first from the study of agriculture and craftsman, and then with The way of fishing in troubled waters has joined Confucianism.

If it weren't for Lan Tian's high prestige and strong enough power under Liu Bei, he would have been tricked by the gentry long ago.

Lantian’s confidence comes from the common people. All his food and soldiers come from the people. Even if the gentry want to restrain them, they can’t find a point of strength. Therefore, most of the gentry’s children in Jingzhou are officials in Jiangling and Jiangxia. If they stay in Jingnan as officials, they should try to avoid them. Lingling County.

"I wonder if there are many bright-minded children in the village. Can we send them to study and read? Now there are more and more people in the village, and people who understand reason are needed to manage them." Li Yang said hesitantly.

"You want to send the children from Xindengzhuang to Quanling Academy?" Lan Tian pointed out directly.

"Yes, yes." Li Yang nodded.

Lan Tian shook his head and said, "Quanling is still too far away from Linwu, and those children just now are too young to take care of themselves."

Li Yang knew that Lantian's worries were objective. He looked at the prefect Hao Pu and suggested in a low voice: "Can you let prefect Hao set up a school in Chen County to teach the children to read and write?"

"Ahem." Hao Pu's scalp felt numb when he heard that, teaching the son of Qianshou to read and write is not a trivial matter, even though Guiyang County doesn't have any powerful gentry, he would not dare to do so.

"When I return to Quanling, I will ask Gongyan to pick two instructors and send them to Xindengzhuang, where I will hold two enlightenment classes. Little Li, you can prepare two big houses." Lan Tian said, pinching his chin.

Li Yang was overjoyed when he heard that, "Don't say two rooms, ten rooms will do."

Lan Tian nodded, planning to develop some group games for the children. It would not be a problem to play like crazy all day long. Looking at the square duck pen in front of him, he got inspiration.
