Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 54 The advance layout of the Dian Nong captain
Diannong Duwei ranks six hundred stones, and he is in charge of production, civil affairs and land rent in the Tuntian area on Cao Cao's side, and his status is equivalent to that of a county magistrate.

When Liu Guanzhang arrived in Xudu that day, he learned about Cao Cao's method of farming, but because the general of farming was Xiahou Dun, the head of the clan, it was not easy for the other princes to copy it.

When Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, his only confidant was Zhang Guan. It was impossible for him to leave a person behind to farm the fields. Now that he has Lantian, he can relieve his worries.

It was the end of the year when Lantian took office, and the people near Xinye were in a state of winter rest.

Liu Bei is now in charge of the military administration of Xinye, and Lantian is free to choose the land for farming, so he took Gao Yuan and others to measure the land in winter.

The name of Lantian spread in the countryside in a short time, so that Li Yang, an acquaintance, came to the door three days later.

"Master Young Master, are you really here?" Li Yang said happily.

"Little Li, you look pretty good. You've had a good two years." Lan Tian patted Li Yang on the shoulder and said.

Li Yang is only one year younger than Lantian. He is dark-skinned and tall and straight, but because he has been working in the fields for a long time, his body looks strong and powerful.

Li Yang said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the farming skills taught by the young master. I have a good life in Xinye. I heard that you have arrived in the past two days. Naturally, I will come to you."

"It's easy to say, General Liu asked me to farm in Xinye. With your help, I can spend less time talking. How many people came with you?" Lan Tian said.

"Four or fifty people came from Ganjiazhuang, but I have made some friends here, can they all follow you?" Li Yang scratched his head and asked.

Lan Tian smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem. How many people are there in total on your side? I'll ask someone to arrange it."

"There are five to six hundred people," Li Yang replied.

Lan Tian took a breath, and said to himself that my brother-in-law only gave me 300 people, and you have five or six hundred here?

"There are so many?" Lan Tian asked in surprise.

"Well, there are few people and a lot of land in Xinye. We used to be tenant farmers in a nearby small village. Because you taught us good farming skills, the grain output has been very high these few seasons. The old farm owner recruited me as a farmer because he saw that I was young and capable. Son-in-law, the farm now manages six or seven hundred tenant farmers." Li Yang said shyly.

After hearing this, Lan Tian smiled and said, "Well, you little Li, you are also the owner of the young villa now."

"That's not true. Although the old owner lost his son, he has a three-year-old grandson. He is the young owner." Li Yang said with his head bowed.

"You bring most of the people to farm with me, can your uncle agree?" Lan Tian asked.

"Naturally I agree. General Liu is known for benevolence and righteousness. How could he be better than Yuan Shu and Zhang Xiu before? Plus, I tried my best to protect him, so most of the Zhuang Ding responded." Li Yang said.

Lan Tian agreed immediately, and then went to Dengjiazhuang with Gao Yuan.

The old farm owner warmly entertained them and expressed his full support for Li Yang and the Tuntian Army. During the pleasant chat with everyone, the grandson of Old Deng Gong was brought out by his mother to meet the "big man".

Unexpectedly, this kid had a great affection for Lan Tian, ​​and he even pestered Lan Tian for a hug.

Deng Gong saw the child making a fool of himself, so he cupped his hands and apologized: "Fan'er's father died early, please forgive me for being rude."

Lan Tian heard that the father of the three-year-old child died early, and remembered that his situation was similar to his, so he waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I also lost my father when I was young, so seeing this child feels very kind."

After staying in Dengjiazhuang for two hours, after explaining some of the rules of Tuntian, Lantian got up and wanted to go back to Xinye.

Li Yang sent him to the entrance of the village, hesitant to speak before parting.

"Xiao Lizi, if you have anything to say, you might as well just say it." Lan Tian asked.

"Just now I saw that you and Xiao Dengzi were quite hit-and-miss. My sister-in-law is pretty. She is now a widow in the village. Would you like to take a concubine?" Li Yang suggested.

Lan Tian was shocked when he heard it, and thought to himself, how did you learn how to talk about matchmaking?
At this time, Gao Yuan beside Lantian urged: "Sir, it's getting late now, why don't you come back quickly?"

Lan Tian immediately said, "Little Li, don't mess with the mandarin ducks, you'd better farm well."

"Oh..." What did Li Yangxin mean by mandarin ducks?
After returning to Xinye, Lan Tian reported to Liu Bei about Dengjiazhuang.

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and said to himself that I only allocated 300 people to you, and in a blink of an eye, 600 people came to vote. Your speed is faster than my recruitment of trilogy, and the official position of Captain Diannong seems too small.

Early the next morning, Gao Shun came to visit Liu Bei for the first time.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he saw it, but unexpectedly the fellow said, "May I ask Mrs. Gan to come out and speak?"

This guy came to see my wife specially?Liu Bei was dumbfounded when he heard that, is there something tricky in Xuzhou's rescue many times?
Although Liu Bei was suspicious, he still sent people to the back hall to call Gan Qian.

When Lu Bu came to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei, he let him sit on the bed of his wife Yan, and asked Yan to worship and drink with him.

Liu Bei thought that Lu Bu had other intentions, so he felt unhappy afterwards, but later learned that it was the tradition of the frontier army, but Liu Bei was deeply disgusted by this kind of behavior.

What does Gao Shun mean today?Do you want me to treat you like Lu Bu?Isn't this guy a good character?

Gan Qian was very puzzled when she heard that Gao Shun was looking for her. She came out and saluted and asked, "I heard that General Gao is looking for me?"

"Liu Shijun, Mrs. Gan, please don't be suspicious, Gao Shun is actually here for the marriage between my lord and Mr. Ziyu." Gao Shun clasped his fists and said.

Returning from Dengjiazhuang yesterday, Gao Yuan told Gao Shun exactly what Li Yang had said. Gao Shun was anxious when he heard it, so he ran to find Gan Qian rashly.

After hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly realized, and smiled happily: "The two of them are talented and beautiful, and they like each other. I originally planned to discuss this matter later, but I didn't want General Gao to be more anxious than me."

Gao Shun said: "Although I am the servant of the lord, I watched her grow up and regarded her as a nephew. Yesterday Ziyu went to Dengjiazhuang to take over Tuntian Zhuang, and someone called the widow in the village a concubine. I am so happy again." Not urgent?"

After hearing this, Gan Qian explained: "Xiao Lizi is originally from Ganjiazhuang. He is familiar with my younger brother. I didn't expect him to come to Xinye?"

"This seems to be my husband's suggestion, let him come to Xinye early to wait for him, what do you think about this matter?" Gao Shun asked.

Liu Bei's heart was already tumbling when he heard this, and Lan Tian was determined to come to Xinye two years ago. Does that guy really have the ability of ghosts and gods?

"Husband?" Seeing Liu Bei's dull expression, Gan Qian reminded her beside her.

Liu Bei came back to his senses and said, "Ahem, it's almost the end of the new year, and it's time to let Ziyu's marriage get some fun. Ms. Lu is the daughter of Fengxian, so you can't be underestimated. Three books and six rituals are indispensable. I will let Xian He and Gongyou will do it, madam, send someone to the city to find skillful hands to make a wedding dress for Miss Lu."

"I can save it." Gan Qian said.

"In this way, I feel relieved." Gao Shun thanked him with his hands clasped.

"Boping and I don't know each other very well, why don't we take advantage of the free time today to chat with each other?" Liu Bei suggested.

Gao Shun got up and clasped his fists and said, "Shun doesn't know how to drink, please forgive me, I still have secular affairs in the camp, so I will take my leave."

Gao Shun left Liu Bei on the spot with an embarrassed expression on his face, and Gan Qian comforted him when she saw this, "General Gao has always been like this, husband, please don't think wildly, using Ziyu is equivalent to using Gao Boping."

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "Although I know it will be like this, I just want to try it."
