Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 5 Refusal to Enjoy Happiness
Liu Bei's betrothal gift included food and meat. In the evening, Gan Ji asked Gan Qian to cook a sumptuous meal. Remembering the words of Mr. Xiangmian back then, Gan Ji became drunk after drinking two bowls of rice wine.

In the early morning of the next day, Gan's family, including Lan Tian, ​​changed into neat clothes, while Gan Qian put on the dark red wedding dress brought by Jian Yong.

When Chen arrived, the entrance of the village was beating gongs and drums, Liu Bei rode a white horse to pick up the bride, and Guan Zhang followed on the left and right.

Because it is a concubine, there is no such cumbersome etiquette as the three books and six ceremonies. After Liu Bei brought Gan Qian back to Xiaopei, he just asked Sun Gan to set up a few banquet tables and ended the process.

At this time, Liu Bei temporarily lived in Xiaopei, which belonged to the time when Jiaolong had not met.

After Gan Qian married Liu Bei, Gan Ji still returned to live in Wangjiazhuang, but since then she no longer had to do farm work, Wangjiazhuang has also become Ganjiazhuang, and Ganji's dream of being a landlord has been realized in an instant.

At the beginning of December of the first year of Xingping, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, was seriously ill. He sent his farewell driver Mi Zhu to Xiaopei to invite Liu Bei, intending to give him the throne as the master of Xuzhou.

After Liu Bei and Guan Zhang got the news, they led Qingqi and Mi Zhu to visit Tao Qian in Tancheng.

At the end of December, Liu Bei accepted Xuzhou Mu after several refusals. Tao Qian died of illness in Tancheng in the same month.

Liu Bei moved Xuzhou's administrative office from Tancheng to Xiapi, and the tribe he recruited in Xiaopei was also transferred to Xiapi for garrison, and Guan Yu was sent to pick up Gan Qian's family to live in Xiapi. This Ganji can finally enjoy the real happiness.

When Guan Yu and Gan Qian came to Ganjiazhuang to pick them up, Lan Tian unexpectedly refused to go to Xiapi. He excused that he had no martial arts strategy and only wanted to stay in Xiaopei farming.

Guan Yu had met Lan Tian twice before, and he had a deep impression of this frail young man.

"Brother, I know you are talented, why don't you go with us? A man who is born in heaven and earth should do something, how can he grow old like a forest?" Gan Qian persuaded.

"Sister, it's good to stay here, you know I like farming." Lan Tian grinned.

"I also know that you read books. Have you read all the remaining letters in the village?" Gan Qian shook her head.

Guan Yu was very surprised when he heard that, this peasant boy could read and write? "Sister-in-law is right. When I arrive in Xiapi, I will ask my eldest brother to arrange a job as a scribe for you. It will be better than facing the loess and back to the sky."

"Thank you, Sister, thank you General Guan, you should go on your way as soon as possible, General Liu is the first to take charge of a large county, and there should be many important matters to discuss with you."

"That's right, you can't miss my grandpa's important matter. General Guan, don't try to persuade me. Lantian just loves to farm. I can rest assured that I will hand over this Ganjiazhuang to him." Ganji thought that Lantian coveted the position of owner , I said in my heart that this is what your kid pursues.

Guan Yu didn't pay attention to Gan Ji's words. Although Lan Tian said it lightly just now, the second master felt that this son was very eloquent, so he asked, "Since you know how to read, do you have any pronouns?"

"Uncle, my younger brother hasn't written a letter yet. I think it's better to hit the sun than to choose a date, so I will trouble you to write a letter for him." In this era, only a letter means a scholar. Naturally, Gan Qian hoped that his adopted brother would be accepted People add blue eyes.

"Well, let me think about it." Guan Yu stroked his long beard and thought.

"Everyone should set off as soon as possible, the kid has already signed up as Ziyu, so I don't bother General Guan." Lan Tian said with a smile.

"Ziyu? Brother, who gave you the words?" Gan Qian was very puzzled.

"I don't have anything to do on weekdays, so I confess to myself." Lan Tian scratched his head and said.

"Lan Tian, ​​Lan Ziyu? What a good name, I remember you, sister-in-law, let's go." Guan Yu raised his beautiful beard.

Lan Tian knows that life is difficult in troubled times. He has no martial arts, no strategy, and he is not from a noble family. These conditions limit his promotion path. Instead of following Gan Qian's nepotism, it is better for Gou to be a professional counterpart in farming in Xiaopei.

Anyway, they are all farmers, where is it not?
The main reason is that Lan Tian has a bad impression of Liu Bei. How can you be my lord?And based on Lantian's understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei should not be safe in Xuzhou.

Ganjiazhuang’s bumper harvest of millet was thanks to Lantian’s teaching of scientific planting techniques. The tenant farmers knew how to be grateful when they had surplus grain. They sold some grain, bought eggs, meat, and melons and fruits, and sent them to Ganji’s home.

Ganji now goes to Xiapi to enjoy the blessings, and the adopted son Lantian becomes the new owner of the farm, and the tenant farmers on the farm feel more and more hopeful for life.

During the slack season in winter, Xiaopei is located in the flat Huaihe Plain. Because there are no hills to block the cold wind, the weather outside the house is very cold.

The people in the village are all fattened at home, but Lantian wants to find some leisure books to read. Unfortunately, in this era, books, a scarce resource, are mostly held in the hands of the gentry, and there are no books on the market.

It turned out that most of the bamboo slips stored in the village were for children's enlightenment. Lan Tian quickly read them all. With his postgraduate learning ability of the Agricultural University and reading those ancient books from the perspective of God, he basically did not have any dyslexia.

With a lot of time left, this guy can only devote his energy to cooking. He is a loyal fan of "Bite of the Tongue". The condiments of the times are limited, and the dishes can only be improved continuously.

In the spring of 195 A.D., Ganjiazhuang started spring plowing and sowing. At this time, more farmers came here to learn farming. Besides the people in the village, there were also many people from other villages. Pei's neighborhood became famous.

July is the summer harvest of millet and grain. Due to the impact of rain and pests, Ganjiazhuang’s harvest is not as good as at the end of last year. However, apart from paying taxes, there is basically a small amount of surplus grain. This is all due to Lantian’s fertilizer use and pest control methods.

In this kind of disaster year, if you change to another place, people will starve to death, but the tenant farmers near Xiaopei not only did not starve, but also mastered many new skills, which will be useful for a lifetime in the future.

Lan Tian gradually became the myth of these tenant farmers. He seemed to have infinite agronomic knowledge on him, and he seemed to have become a folk leader near Ganjiazhuang.

Because Lan Tian was eloquent and able to distinguish right from wrong, and because he was related by marriage to Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei, the people in the village were unwilling to bother the government whenever they encountered disputes and fights, but they found him to adjudicate and deal with them.

At the end of July, Lu Bu failed to steal his home in Yanzhou and came to Xuzhou. Liu Bei ordered him to station in Xiaopei, thinking that he would be in trouble.

The iron farmer, the master of flowing water.

After the owner of Xiaopei changed from Liu Bei to Lu Bu, the farmers in Ganjiazhuang still farmed the land and paid rent and taxes, and their lives did not change. With the popularization of scientific planting, their lives are gradually improving.

Lantian is now the owner of Ganjiazhuang, and every year the farmers pay tribute to grain, so apart from improving some varieties for experiments, he basically doesn't have to cultivate the land himself.

After the basic food and clothing were settled, he began to yearn for a better life.

In order to ensure the diversity of food varieties, Lantian Tuo Ganqian bought many seeds of vegetables and fruits from Xiapi, and then set aside a small piece of land for experimental planting.

Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty brought back many fruits and vegetables and seeds after his mission to the Western Regions. Now, in addition to staple foods such as rice, seasoning, bean, and millet, there are also vegetable non-staple foods such as onions, garlic, broad beans, sesame seeds, radishes, and cucumbers.

In addition to cultivating a vegetable garden in his own backyard, Lan Tian also set up a grape trellis in front of his house, and this little life like Li Ziqi's gradually flourished.

In August, when the autumn sowing was over, Lan Tian was enjoying the coolness under his grape trellis, and saw a man and a woman not far away pointing at the door of his house.

"General Gao, what is that black thing? Grapes?"

"Grapes? Why are they different from the ones I've eaten?"

"Then ask."

"only."

"Hey, what is hanging on the vine? Are they grapes?" asked the burly man.

"Miss has good eyesight, this is indeed a grape." Lan Tian shook his cattail fan and nodded. Those who can recognize Putao are not ordinary families. Looking at the extraordinary clothes of the two of them, I know that they must have a lot of background.

"You, pick a few for me." Another woman pointed to Lan Tian and ordered.

Lan Tian saw that although the girl was still childish, she was born with beautiful features, red lips and white teeth, and she was a beauty, she looked about the same age and size as herself.

"Sorry, I can't go up," Lan Tian refused.
