Diannong Duwei, with a rank of six hundred stones, was in charge of the production, civil affairs and land rent of the Tuntian District on Cao Cao's side. His status was equivalent to that of a county magistrate.

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

When Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, his only confidants were Zhang Zhang, so it was impossible for him to leave anyone behind to work in the fields. Now that he has Lantian, he can relieve his worries.

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

Liu Bei now dominates the military and political affairs of Xinye, and Lan Tian 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 three days later, an acquaintance, Li Yang, came to visit.

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

"Xiao Lizi, you look good. You've had a good couple of years." Lan Tian patted Li Yang on the shoulder and said.

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

Li Yang smiled and said: "I am living a good life in Xinye thanks to the farming skills taught by the master of the young village. I heard that you have arrived in the past two days, so naturally I want to come and join you."

"It's easy to say. General Liu asked me to farm in Xinye. With your help, I can save my words. How many people came with you?" Lantian said.

"Forty or fifty people have come to Ganjiazhuang, but I have made some friends here. Can they all follow you?" Li Yang asked, scratching his head.

Lan Tian smiled and said: "Of course that's no problem. How many people are there in total? I can let someone arrange it."

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

Lan Tian took a breath and said to himself: My brother-in-law only gave me three hundred people, but you have five or six hundred here?

"There are so many?" Lan Tian was surprised.

"Well, Xinye is a place with fewer people and more land. We used to be tenant farmers on a nearby small village. Because the farming skills you taught us are pretty good, the grain output has been very high in the past few seasons. The old farm owner saw that I was young and capable, so he hired me as his

Son-in-law, now the village is in charge of six to seven hundred tenant farmers..." Li Yang said embarrassedly.

After hearing this, Lan Tian smiled and said, "Well, you little plum, now you are also the young master of the village."

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

"If you bring most of the people to farm with me, will your uncle agree?" Lan Tian asked.

"Of course I agree. General Liu has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. How can he be better than Yuan Shu and Zhang Xiu before him? In addition, I tried my best to guarantee it, so most of the villagers responded..." Li Yang said.

Lantian immediately agreed and went to Dengjiazhuang with Gao Yuan.

The old village owner warmly entertained them and expressed his full support for Li Yang to join the field army. While everyone was chatting happily, old Deng Gong's grandson was brought out by his mother to meet the 'big shot'.

Unexpectedly, this child was very fond of Lan Tian, ​​and he even pestered Lan Tian for a hug.

When Duke Deng saw that the boy was misbehaving, he held up his hands and apologized: "Fan'er's father died early. Please forgive me for any disrespect I may have made."

Lan Tian heard that the father of this three-year-old child died young, and remembered that his own situation was similar to his, so he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, I also lost my father when I was young, so I feel very close to this child when I see him."

After staying in Dengjiazhuang for two hours and explaining some of the rules of farming, Lantian got up and went back to Xinye.

Li Yang sent him to the entrance of the village, looking like he was hesitating to speak before parting.

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

"I just saw that you and Xiao Dengzi are very close to each other. My sister-in-law is quite pretty. She is now living alone in the village. Master, would you like to take a concubine?" Li Yang suggested.

Lan Tian was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself: How did you learn how to use matchmaking to pull fibers?

At this time, Gao Yuan beside Lantian urged: "Sir, it's getting late now, why don't you go home quickly?"

Lan Tian then said: "Little Lizi, don't mess with the mandarin duck recipe. You'd better farm well."

"Oh..." What does Li Yangxin mean by Yuanyangpu?

After returning to Xinye, Lantian reported to Liu Bei what happened at Dengjiazhuang.

Liu Bei was shocked after hearing this, and said to himself, I only allocated 300 people to you, and in a blink of an eye, 600 people came to apply. You are recruiting troops faster than I am. The official position of Captain Diannong seems to be 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. Unexpectedly, this guy opened his mouth and said, "Can you please ask Mrs. Gan to come out and speak?"

This guy came here specifically to see my wife? Liu Bei was confused when he heard this. Is there something fishy about rescuing her many times in Xuzhou?

Although Liu Bei was suspicious, he still went to the back hall to call Gan Qian.

When Lu Bu came to Xuzhou to seek refuge with Liu Bei, he made him sit on his wife Yan's bed, and asked Yan to worship and drink and eat with him.

Liu Bei thought that Lu Bu had other intentions, so he felt unhappy after that. However, he later learned that this was the tradition of the border army, but Liu Bei deeply despised this behavior.

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

Gan Qian was also very confused when she heard that Gao Shun was looking for her. She came out and saluted and asked, "I heard that General Gao came to see me specially?"

"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 said, clasping his fists.

After returning from Dengjiazhuang yesterday, Gao Yuan told Gao Shun exactly what Li Yang said. Gao Shun felt anxious after hearing this, so he ran to Gan Qian rashly.

Liu Bei suddenly understood after hearing this, and smiled happily and said: "They are both talented and beautiful, and they are in love. I originally planned to discuss this matter after a while, but I didn't want General Gao to be more anxious than me."

Gao Shun said: "Although I am a servant of the lord, I have watched her grow up and regard her as a nephew. Yesterday, when Riyu went to Dengjiazhuang to take over the farm villagers, someone actually said that the widow of the village was a concubine. I am safe and sound.

Not in a hurry?"

After hearing this, Gan Qian explained: "Xiao Lizi was originally from Ganjiazhuang. He is familiar with my brother. I didn't expect that he would also 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 we should do about this?" Gao Shun asked.

When Liu Bei heard this, his heart was already filled with huge waves. Lantian actually decided to come to Xinye two years ago. Is that guy really capable of ghosts and gods?

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

Liu Bei came back to his senses and said: "Ahem, it's the end of the year now, and it's just a good time to take advantage of Ziyu's wedding to make it lively. Miss Lu is the daughter of Fengxian and cannot be treated lightly. The three books and six etiquette are indispensable. I will let Xian Xian do this."

He and Gongyou will take care of it, madam, send someone to the city to find some skilled workers to make a wedding dress for Miss Lu."

"I don't have to worry about it," Gan Qian said.

"That puts me at ease." Gao Shun thanked him with his hands.

"Boping and I don't know each other well, why don't we take advantage of today's free time to have a drink and chat?" Liu Bei suggested.

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

Gao Shun left Liu Bei there with an embarrassed look on his face. Gan Qian saw this and comforted him: "General Gao has always been like this. Husband, please don't think too much. Using Ziyu is equivalent to using Gao Boping."
