Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Page 178

Lan Tian was about to check the clues, but saw that thing suddenly moved quickly. Human beings are afraid of unknown things. Lu Lingqi hugged Lan Tian's arm tightly with her hands unnaturally.

"What is that..." Lu Lingqi exclaimed.

Lan Tian stroked Lu Lingqi's back to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, Xiaojun, it might be a small thing in the sea, I'll catch it for you to see."

"Husband, don't..."

Before Lu Lingqi finished speaking, Lan Tian broke free from herself and rushed over. At this time, the waves were still rushing tirelessly, so Lu Lingqi had no choice but to follow behind Lan Tian.

Although Lan Tian was lazy and didn't practice martial arts very much, he persisted in the Wuqinxi, which can live a long life, every day. I saw him rushing to the little gadget with a few strides. It turned out to be a hermit crab with someone else's shell on its back.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaojun. This thing is called a hermit crab. It is a very common thing on the coast. It must have traveled too far during low tide, and then was washed onto your lap by the seawater during high tide." Lan Tian grabbed the shell and handed it Show it to Lu Lingqi.

Lu Lingqi took it into her hand and observed it. It really had crab-like claws, but its appearance was far from ordinary crabs, not as scary as a fluffy spider.

"Husband said it was a crab? Why is it different from what I saw?" Lu Lingqi asked curiously.

"This kind of crab is different from what you have seen. The shell on its body is not its own. Originally, it eats the meat inside the conch shell, and then occupies the shell for its own use. As this crab grows up, it will They keep looking for bigger conch shells to live in, so they are called hermit crabs." Lan Tian asked Lu Lingqi about science.

Lu Lingqi frowned: "So this hermit crab is so shameless, I plan to bring back Guangxin to play with Yuan'er and Ji'er, they are like that thief Cao, stealing the country of the Han Dynasty..."

Lan Tian looked embarrassed: "Xiaojun, don't take Guangxin back, it won't survive tomorrow morning without the sea water, but if you compare a hermit crab to a thief, no one really compares it like that."

"That's because they didn't come to the beach." Lu Lingqi said.

Lan Tian nodded, "Xiaojun is right, I'll take you to find it again, there are not only hermit crabs on the beach."

Chapter 377

Lan Tian took Lu Lingqi for a walk on the beach and found more hermit crabs.

"Husband, there are so many hermit crabs on the seashore."

"There will be more low tide at dusk."

"Why didn't we find out when we first got here?"

"That's because you didn't bend down to look for it. When you are willing to look down at the world, you can find that besides hermit crabs, there are other interesting animals and beautiful shells."

Lu Lingqi was startled when she heard that, she felt that Lantian seemed to have something in her words, was she telling me why I should get close to the common people?No wonder he is so loved by the people.

Women like beautiful things. Hearing what Lan Tian said, he gave up hermit crabs and went to the beach to pick up beautiful shells. He was as happy as a child when he was young.

At this time, Lu Lingqi rolled up her trousers like Lan Tian, ​​and she was bouncing around on the beach with her bare feet. She looked like a fisherman's girl, but the fishermen didn't have such fair skin after being exposed to the sun and rain, but the second master's red face More suitable for the seaside.

Seabirds fly across the sky from time to time, and the tireless tide rises and falls. The girl from the Lu family collects shells on the soft beach, and sometimes takes the shells to the waves to wash. Lan Tian feels that the picture in front of him is too beautiful.

"Xiao Jun." Lan Tian suddenly had an idea.

Lu Lingqi ran over with a shell in her hand: "Husband, what's the matter?"

"After we move to Guangzhou City, we will come here wearing Liuxian skirt. I will find a good painter to paint your portrait. It should be so beautiful, right?" Lan Tian looked up and down.

"What beauty..." Lu Lingqi felt a burning sensation in her cheeks, and she subconsciously covered it with her hands, but the beautiful shells she picked up fell all over the floor, and some of them were broken into pieces in the collision.

"It's all your fault. I came here to tease people in broad daylight, and the shells I finally collected were destroyed. Besides, Liuxian's skirt is so long, and the hem of the skirt will definitely fall into the sand and water. Wouldn't it be a pity to get dirty?" Although Lu Lingqi complained, she was still flattered to hear the praise.

Lan Tian pinched his trouser legs with both hands and lifted them up, explaining with a smile: "Isn't it enough to carry them like I do then? That picture is so wonderful..."

Lu Lingqi blushed again, she turned around and turned her head, "Oh, hurry up and find some beautiful shells for me, we have to go back to Guangxin, otherwise it will be dark later."

"Oh good." Lan Tian acted immediately after receiving the 'order'. He found that Lu Lingqi was more shy than when she was young, which seemed unscientific.

Lan Tian is a straight man. He didn't know that as long as a woman feels in love, even a woman in her late teens will be shy. That instinct has nothing to do with her age.

The two played on the beach for more than an hour, and finally rode their horses to the Panyu Wharf. Only then did Gao Shun, who was in the distance, released his covert protection and returned to his construction site.

After boarding the boat, because he was in a hurry, Lan Tian asked the sailors to row the oars at full speed, otherwise they would not be able to reach Guangxin before dark.

The boat was riding the wind and waves in the gloomy water. Lan Tian was worried that he didn't prepare anti-dizziness pills for Lu Lingqi, but the other party's nympho expression didn't look like she was feeling unwell at all.

At this moment, Lu Lingqi was still intoxicated by the beach just now. Before leaving, the two of them washed the sand off their feet in the waves, and in the end they brought some sand into their boots.

Lu Lingqi didn't like sand sticking to her feet. Before putting on her boots, she repeatedly slapped them with her socks, trying to clean them completely before putting on socks, but the result was bound to be in vain.

Seeing this, Lan Tian took Lu Lingqi to the beach, and then a princess picked her up. First, she faced the waves to wash away the sand, and then hugged her back to the shore. Although the time spent before and after was very short, Lu Lingqi seemed to be at that moment. Freeze.

"What's wrong?" Lan Tian pulled Lu Lingqi back to reality.

"Uh...it's nothing..." Lu Lingqi changed the subject guiltily after speaking, "I remember you put a few shells into your bosom just now, and showed them to me."

Lan Tian didn't have time to think about it, and took out three large shells from his bosom. Although they were ordinary in shape, they were not damaged. Lu Lingqi took out more than a dozen small white and crystal-clear shells, just in time for the sun to shine on the deck. Light.

"Husband, why did you choose the big and ugly one?"

Lan Tian picked up a conch, put it to Lu Lingqi's ear and said, "Put it to your ear and listen."

Lu Lingqi didn't know what it meant, but she heard the sound of rushing water as soon as she reached her ear, and she asked in surprise, "Why is this happening? There seems to be the sound of waves inside..."

"Conch can hear the sound of the sea. I plan to give two of them to Yuan'er and Ji'er, and find someone to send the other one to Chengdu for A Dou. He has never seen the sea before." Lan Tian said.

Lu Lingqi nodded slightly, "Give these shells to my sister, and next time we will go to the beach to pick them up."

Lan Tian picked up a shell and asked meaningfully: "Do you know, Xiaojun? In ancient times, people used shells as money."

Lu Lingqi replied: "I've heard others talk about this. At that time, living by the sea should be very rich, right?"

Lan Tian shook his head quickly: "At that time, people only lived in the Central Plains. Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jiangdong were all barbarians who drank their blood. How can we talk about being rich?"

"So that's the case, but why don't people from the Central Plains go to the beach to collect shellfish? That's much easier than hunting and farming, right?" Lu Lingqi asked again.

Lan Tian smiled slightly and stretched out two fingers: "There are two reasons for this. First, the state prohibits private shell picking, and will send people to the seaside to monitor it. If you are caught picking shells privately, you will be beheaded. This is the same as private people can't mint money now. , if it is not strictly managed, the world will be in chaos. Guiyang County now has a lot of mineral deposits, and there is no disorderly and continuous production of coins;

The second is that in ancient times, the road from the Central Plains to the sea was dangerous. In addition to the desolation, there were also ferocious wild beasts. I found that most of the shells could not be exchanged for cow fur, because the shells that can be used as money have strict selection criteria. At that time, it was not as fast as hunting..."

"That's why you can't make a lot of money by being clever, and you have to follow the right path in life and work." Lu Lingqi was thoughtful.

Lan Tian nodded affirmatively: "What Xiaojun said is very true."

With the experience of this trip to the seaside, Lu Lingqi often went to Panyu in Lantian to inspect and supervise the construction progress of Guangzhou City in name, but in fact she went on a tour with her.

The Guangzhou city construction site also regularly improves the food, so that more and more people participate in the construction. The news that Lantian is building a new city next to Panyu spreads farther and farther, except for the local people in Nanhai County, Cangwu, Yulin People from , Hepu and other counties came to visit.

Lantian asked Gao Shun to post a lot of general plans similar to the real estate of later generations on the built city wall. The plans clearly marked the planning of each area, where to build government offices, where to build medical centers, where to build markets, and even There are also Buddhist temples and Taoist gymnasiums, which are really all-encompassing.

Except for functional buildings, all of them are residential land, which makes many wealthy households in Jiaozhou think about buying land and building houses in such a big city.

Chapter 378 Convincing people with strength

Lantian did not expect that a general layout plan alone would attract the attention of many people. The construction of a large city depends on government funding alone, and it is almost impossible to achieve it in a short period of time without the use of corvee, but with The entry of private capital is much easier.

The implementation of various policies in Cangwu is relatively smooth. Whether it is the grassroots officials selected by the Book and News Agency, or the agronomy students selected by Quanling Academy, they all quickly entered their roles, and all counties and townships have improved in half a year. The change.

Xia Houqi and Yuan Wei are both former ministers of Liu Bei. They completely obey Lan Tian's arrangements in government affairs. With helpers from top to bottom, Lan Tian seems not so busy.

Lantian and Lv Lingqi often go to Panyu, and the construction of Guangzhou City has new changes every time they go, and the time will soon be the end of the New Year's Eve.

Gao Shun originally planned to take a ten-day holiday to stop work, so that the builders could take a good rest, but in the end, they even attracted opposition from various battalions, because they were building their own city, so everyone would not feel very tired. The climate is warm in winter, and they are willing to rest less and work more.

Gao Shun had no choice but to order a three-day rest, and Guangzhou resumed work on the third day of the first lunar month.

On the day of the resumption of work, there were so many people watching the excitement, so Gao Shun had to call in [-] soldiers to maintain law and order. When he saw the soldiers in brightly colored and mighty armor, the onlookers felt a long-lost sense of security.

Many local wealthy households asked around how to get a piece of land from Guangzhou City. After all, living in such a big city is safe and dignified. However, Lantian did not set up an investment promotion office on the construction site, and many people inquired about news in Panyu City.

The county magistrate Chen Tu and the county magistrate Yao Qi often had visitors at home during the Chinese New Year, and they basically asked about the land in Guangzhou City.

Yao Qi went out to Cochin and returned to Hepu to find friends a few years ago. Originally, he was still puzzled by the construction of Lantian, because Panyu is a small county with only 3 to [-] people. Who should live in such a big city?Up to now, he has to admire Lan Tian's foresight.

Because he didn't know the situation in Guangzhou City, Yao Qi came to the county mansion to visit Chen Tu on the third day of the first lunar month, and saw Chen Tu walking out as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion.

"Where is County Magistrate Chen going?" Yao Qi asked curiously.

Chen Tu quickly replied: "Mr. Lanfu and his family are here in micro-clothes. I want to go to the construction site in Guangzhou City. Will Mr. Yao accompany me?"

Yao Qi twirled his beard: "Of course I'm going to greet you, but since the Fujun came here in low clothes, how did County Magistrate Chen know?"

"Your Majesty visited Panyu frequently last month, and he often had meals at the construction site. I circulated his portrait to the dock guards. Although it was too late to greet him at the dock, he could go to the dock to see him off..." Chen Tu replied.

Yao Qi nodded, "Mr. Lan Fu attaches great importance to this city of Guangzhou, but I don't know how he will distribute such a large area of ​​land?"

Chen Tu smiled slightly: "It seems that someone has already found Mr. Yao? Someone from my side has been asking about it for a long time. It is estimated that they will be sold to private individuals one after another. After all, it is too difficult to rely solely on government funding..."

Yao Gong frowned: "There are great benefits in this, and I don't know who will give it to..."

"Opportunities have to be won by yourself. Don't I hurry up and go to the construction site? I'm afraid it's not enough to see you off at the pier..." Chen Tu looked at Yao Qi with excitement before he finished speaking: "Mr. Cheng Guo ( Liu Xi) Where is it now? This opportunity happens to be sent to meet..."

"How can you be in a hurry? My name is Gai Lingnan. When I first arrived in Panyu, many people asked to see me. I plan to pay my respects to Guangxin next year. I will go with Mr. Cheng Guo." Yao Qi replied.

Chen Tu sighed: "Forget it, there is really no rush to make friends with Shangguan. Fortunately, Guangzhou City is still too early to be completed, leaving us with more time."

"Magistrate Chen will wait for the old man for a while, and I will change my clothes before going to the construction site. The Fu Jun went on tour in a small suit because he wanted to have fun with the people. Wearing official uniforms will definitely expose his identity." Yao Qi analyzed.

Chen Tu's eyes lit up: "It's Mr. Yao who is mature and prudent, otherwise I will miss a big deal by going out like this."

The South China Sea is sunny in winter, and the construction sites in Guangzhou City are crowded with people. Tourists in twos and threes come to visit and work. This may be an early form of travel. Groups of people are walking on Xuan Ou Street.

Xuanxiao Street is the most flat area on the construction site, and there are many people from all over the world who carry burdens to do business. All kinds of special snacks and commodities are displayed beside the street, as if the construction site is regarded as a temple fair site.

The people who came to visit did not affect the construction, because the sense of oppression of the entrapment army was too strong, they could only wait and see from a distance and could not get close. Next to the built city wall were spectators studying the general plan, which was very similar to buying a house in later generations The same as the person who analyzed the floor plan.

"It's so lively today." Lu Lingqi sighed.

Lan Tian nodded, "If it wasn't for the street width of fifty feet, this place might be crowded."

"Father, Brother Ji and we want to take a look around." Lan Yuan said, pointing to the food stall next to him.

Lu Lingqi frowned: "I have taken you to Quanling Bazaar several times, but now there are so many people here that it is difficult to take care of them. You should just follow us obediently."

Lan Yuan analyzed: "Although this place is barren, there are soldiers everywhere, so the child will be safe."

Lu Lingqi wanted to say something else, but Lan Tian stopped her and said, "Give the children a chance to grow up properly. Yuan'er is actually right. Although there are many tourists here, it is very safe. Just let Gao Yuan watch them."

Lu Lingqi couldn't say anything about Lantian, so she told the two brothers: "Then you have to listen to Uncle Gao and know how to run around."

"Got it mother." Lan Yuan nodded.

"I will follow my brother and not run around." Lan Ji also made a promise.

"Take all these guards, I will not be in danger by my husband's side." Lu Lingqi ordered Gao Yuan again.

"This..." Gao Yuan looked at Lan Tian and said he was not at ease.

Lan Tian waved his hands with a relaxed expression: "You still can't believe Xiaojun's martial arts? Just keep an eye on the children."

"Wei." Gao Yuan cupped his fists.

Gao Yuan left with the two cubs, and Lu Lingqi saw Lan Ji shaking his head, as if talking in Lan Yuan's ear, she listened intently, but found that Lan Ji was talking to Lan Yuan.

Lan Ji: "Brother, you are really powerful. You sent my mother away with just a few words."

Lan Yuan: "Didn't my father teach me? Present the facts and reason."

Lan Ji: "But father still said that you can't reason with women..."

Lan Yuan: "What's the situation to convince people with virtue? If you can't practice martial arts well, you can convince people with reason, but if we can practice martial arts well, we can convince people with strength. Isn't that just another choice? Isn't it reasonable for my mother to be so powerful? ? That’s because my father is also good at martial arts.”

Lan Ji: "That makes sense..."

Lu Lingqi frowned when she heard this, and thought that these two little ones were really big.

"Xiao Jun, what's wrong with you?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

Lu Lingqi took Lan Tian's arm: "Husband, who are you unreasonable with?"

Lan Tian looked confused:? ? ?

Chapter 379 Private Interview on Weibo

It was common for men to take concubines in the Three Kingdoms era, but it was rare for a high-ranking man like Lan Tian not to take concubines. Lu Lingqi once chose two beautiful maids to serve as bed servants, but was finally rejected by this modern thinking guy.

Lu Lingqi has a very good personality. Although she doesn't have much knowledge, she knows the general principles. Lan Tian feels that she should be content and happy. A person's life energy is very limited, and if he is too addicted to Chun Wei, he will lose his fighting spirit. He still has to fight for a higher ideal.

In addition, having too many wives and concubines is easy to bury the root of disaster. Lan Tian doesn't want to see his children will kill each other. Neither Cao Cao's children nor Sun Quan's children escaped this fate.

Lu Lingqi and Lan Tian simply joked together and walked hand in hand on Xuanxiao Street. After walking a few feet, he found a strange phenomenon. It turned out that the farmer who sold vegetables and fruits did not show up. He wondered if they had already sold out and went home?

The Lantian family wandered around the street for a while, and found that the construction workers were gathering in the barracks one after another. It turned out that it was already the noon break time.

Immediately, the delicious smell of meat wafted out from all the battalions, it seemed that Gao Shun was giving everyone another extra meal today.

"Xiaojun, call the children and let's have some meat." Lan Tian said to Lu Lingqi.
