Chapter 132 Running a school to break the monopoly of the gentry
Li Yang was explaining seedling cultivation and rice transplanting in the field. The farmer from Bian County beside him reminded: "Master Li, look at the few people over there, are they here to learn secretly?"
In order to prevent agricultural technology from flowing out to the enemy, you can't just come here casually. You need to go through the county and township preliminary review, and then report to the county magistrate and the field cao for the final review, and get a road guide according to the quota approval before you can come to Linwu County to report.
This agricultural technology was Lan Tian's brainchild. As a fanatical admirer, Li Yang immediately looked back after hearing this.
The man with fluttering sleeves on the edge of the field was none other than Lan Tian. Li Yang was so happy that he dropped the seedlings in his hands and stepped on the mud, leaving several onlookers in the middle of the field.
"Master Li, where are you going?"
"Do I need to report to the official?"
"I'm confused. What official should I report to? There seems to be a general next to that person..."
"This person looks so familiar."
...
While everyone was whispering, Li Yang had already danced to Lan Tian and called the Young Master with tears in his eyes.
Before Lan Tian could say anything, Gan Ning frowned and said, "You are already the owner of the village. Isn't it appropriate to call me Mr. Young Master?"
The old owner of the village, Deng, was no longer able to manage things. Deng Fan also went to Quanling under the tutelage of Lantian, so he gave up the position of the owner of the village to Li Yang. This guy can be regarded as a grassroots counterattack.
Li Yang scratched his head in embarrassment and said hesitantly: "I have no...no other...meaning..."
When Lan Tian saw this, he smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you look like Fan'er? Go and wash up quickly. If there is still mud in your hands, wipe it on your head..."
"Okay, Shaozhuang...Sir, you go and sit on the village, while I go to the river to wash up..." Li Yang said.
"The water is cold in early spring, so be careful not to catch the wind chill," Lan Tian reminded.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, there are more doctors now..." Seeing that Lan Tian was still amiable, Li Yang happily ran to the river.
In the past few years, Zhang Ji has set up a medical school in Chen County and has trained many doctors who can help the world. He has opened medical clinics in various counties one after another. Linwu County naturally has first-come-first-served hospitals.
Lan Tian had stayed in Linwu for a long time and had the highest reputation in the local area. In order not to disturb the people, he came incognito and only brought a small number of followers, so he did not cause a sensation in the county.
After several years of development, Xindengzhuang has a population larger than the county seat and has gradually become the largest village and town in Linwu.
Lan Tian chatted with Mr. Deng for a while at home. Li Yang bought a live sheep from the farm and prepared to make a whole sheep feast to entertain Lan Tian.
"Xiao Lizi, you are living a good life. How many people are there in Xindengzhuang?" Lan Tian asked.
Li Yang said with a smile: "Because there are many Yue people coming to settle, there are almost 20,000 people now..."
Lan Tian nodded and said: "It's fun to have a lot of people, but we can't expand disorderly. There isn't much land in Linwu..."
"If the rice fields are not enough, we will open up wasteland and plant millet. Rice will last for a long time, and it is good to eat some corn occasionally. Now every household is raising chickens and ducks, and everyone is thinking about your kindness..." Li Yang replied
road.
"When raising poultry, special attention should be paid to the disposal of feces. If infected poultry and livestock are found, bury or burn them directly. Don't contract the disease because of greed," Lantian reminded.
"I don't have to worry..." Li Yang said.
Lantian told Gan Ning: "Let's go to the county before we leave. The population of Xindengzhuang is so large. The existing pavilions and officials are not enough, so the county needs to add more."
"Wei." Gan Ning said.
After chatting for a while, Li Yang went back to the house to prepare the whole sheep feast, which he also learned from Lan Tian.
In early spring, the climate is still a bit cold, so eating mutton can keep you warm.
Li Yang used two methods: stewing and baking. When Lan Tian was preparing the dipping sauce, many people came to watch. This was a good opportunity to steal the recipe.
"Sir, are you just here to take a look this time?" Li Yang asked while chewing on the bones.
"Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou, and people everywhere were upset. Now that he has been defeated and returned to Xudu, I am going around to calm people's hearts," Lan Tian said.
"I think they just haven't been hungry enough. What's the point? They have never been in Xuzhou. How can they have a good life when Cao Cao comes? If nothing else, this new Dengzhuang is absolutely stable."
Li Yang ignored the oil on his hands and beat his chest violently to assure him that Cao Cao's actions in Xuzhou were truly unforgettable.
Lan Tian smiled leisurely and said in his heart that just because the common people were stable, it did not mean that the children of aristocratic families were not unstable. These people did not worry about their livelihood. Fortunately, Jingnan only had some small noble families and could not make any waves.
"By the way, I'm planning to set up a school in Quanling in a few days to provide a place for ordinary people from poor families to learn agricultural techniques and craftsmanship. When the time comes, you can choose dozens of good hands from the village to help me."
Lantian said.
"Agriculture is no longer taught in the fields?" Li Yang thought that this agricultural science base was going to be cancelled.
Lan Tian shook his head, "Agriculture pays attention to practice, but seed saving, breeding, storage, composting, etc. do not need to go to the fields. My school is mainly to cultivate agricultural officials, and it does not conflict with your agronomy base."
"Then what are craftsman skills?" Li Yang asked again.
"Only when food, clothing, housing and transportation are provided can the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is impossible for everyone in the world to farm. Carpentry, smelting, forging, and textiles are all closely related to life. During this inspection of various places, I am also looking for outstanding craftsmen. When the school is completed,
After that, if you can learn a skill, you won’t starve to death." Lan Tian explained.
"That's right, that's right, it's just like the curved shaft plow. It really saves time and effort. When my son grows up, he will send it to his teacher's school." Li Yang said happily.
Lantian is preparing to set up a school, and he plans to teach all subjects, but not reading, all subjects closely related to life. He wants the people to develop the habit of attending school first, and then gradually add Confucianism and other subjects. Boil a frog in this warm water
This method gradually weakened the gentry’s monopoly on reading.
After staying in Linwu for half a day, Lantian rushed to Chenxian County to visit Gan Qian.
When she first met Gan Qian, she praised her fiercely, "Brother, you have done great things in Jiangling. I know you are not just taking things for granted."
"Ah? Sister, are you talking about the capture of Jiangling? That was all the work of Huang Hansheng and Gao Boping. I didn't kill a single soldier." Lan Tian said modestly.
"I know your skills very well. You can't deceive anyone. How long do you plan to stay in Jingnan this time?" Gan Qian thought that Lan Tian came back to visit relatives this time, so Liu Qi, a loyal minister, would definitely stay in Jiangling.
"I am the prefect of Lingling, and the eldest son has asked me to supervise the military affairs in Jingnan. Naturally, I will live in Jingnan permanently." Lan Tian said.
"Is this true?" Gan Qian asked happily.
"Yes, what's the problem?" Lan Tian asked in confusion.
Gan Qian called the maid to explain something in her ear, and then said to Lantian: "Xuande is far away in Jiangxia. Adou is more than two years old and it is difficult to discipline him. You, my uncle, have to help me."
"It's hard to discipline? Is he more wild than me, Ji'er?" Lan Tian looked confused.
When Gan Qian shook her head, the maid who had just left walked in with Adou in her arms.
"Uncle..." Liu Chan looked at Lantian and shouted.
"Isn't this good?" Lan Tian said.
"Xuande was doing well when he was there. After going to Jiangxia, Adou didn't want to go out for a walk. He was carried around by others all day long. If things go on like this, he might develop a habit of laziness. I have to take care of Shu'er and Wan'er on weekdays. I really don't have any
What a good way to teach Adou, I heard that Ziyu is very good at discipline, take him to Quanling to live for some time?"
