Liu Bei's betrothal gift included grain and meat. In the evening, Ganji asked Gan Qian to cook a sumptuous meal. Remembering the words of the fortune teller back then, Ganji drank two bowls of rice wine and became drunk.

Early the next morning, Gan's family, including Lan Tian, ​​put on neat clothes, while Gan Qian put on the red wedding dress brought by Jian Yong.

When we first arrived in Chen, gongs and drums were beating at the entrance of the village. Liu Bei came to pick up the bride on a white horse, followed by Guan Zhang on the left and right.

Because it was a concubine, there were no complicated etiquette like three books and six etiquettes. After Liu Bei brought Gan Qian back to Xiaopei, he just asked Sun Qian to set up a few banquets and the process was over.

At this time, Liu Bei was temporarily staying in Xiaopei, before Jiaolong was encountered.

After Gan Qian married Liu Bei, Gan Ji still returned to Wangjiazhuang to live, but he no longer had to do farm work. Wangjiazhuang also became Ganjiazhuang. Ganji's dream of being a landlord was realized in an instant.

In early 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 up his throne to him as the lord of Xuzhou.

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

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

Liu Bei moved the Xuzhou administrative office from Tancheng to Xiapi, and the troops he recruited in Xiaopei were also moved to Xiapi for garrison. He also sent Guan Yu to pick up Gan Qian and his family to live in Xiapi. Ganji could finally live up to its name.

When Guan Yu and Gan Qian came to Ganjiazhuang to pick them up, Lantian unexpectedly refused to go to Xiapi. He excused himself as having no martial arts skills and only wanted to stay in Xiaopei and live farming.

Guan Yu had met Lan Tian twice before and was deeply impressed by this frail young man.

"Brother, I know you are talented and intelligent, why don't you come with us? A man is born in heaven and earth and should have something to do, how can he grow old in the woods and springs?" Gan Qian advised.

"Sister, it's good to stay here. You know I like farming very much." Lantian grinned and said.

"I also know that you are good at reading. Have you read all the remaining letters in this village?" Gan Qian shook her head.

Guan Yu was very surprised when he heard that this young farm boy could actually read and write. So he said: "Sister-in-law is right. When you get to Xiapi, I will ask my eldest brother to arrange a clerk position for you. It will be better than facing the loess with your back to the sky." "

"Thank you very much, sister, and thank you so much, General Guan. You'd better get on your way as soon as possible. General Liu has just taken charge of the county, and there should be many important things to discuss with you."

"That's right, we can't miss my uncle's important event. General Guan, don't try to persuade me. This guy Lantian just loves farming. I can rest assured that I will hand over this Gan family village to him." Ganji thought that Lantian coveted the position of the owner of the village. , I said in my heart that this is all your pursuit.

Guan Yu ignored Ganji's words. Although Lantian had just spoken lightly, the second master felt that this man was very eloquent, so he asked: "Since you are literate, do you have any writing skills?"

"Uncle, my brother hasn't expressed his surname yet. I think it's better to choose the day than to hit the sun, so I'll ask you to express his surname for him." In this era, having a surname means that he is a scholar. Gan Qian naturally hopes that his sworn brother will be recognized. People's blue eyes add up.

"Hmm... let me think about it..." Guan Yu thought while stroking his long beard.

"You all should set off as soon as possible. I have already given my name to Ziyu, so I won't bother General Guan." Lan Tian said with a smile.

"Ziyu? Brother, who gave you the calligraphy?" Gan Qian asked in confusion.

"I have nothing to do on weekdays, so I show myself to you." Lan Tian said, scratching his head.

"Lantian, Lan Ziyu? It's such a good name. I remember you. Sister-in-law, let's go." Guan Yu said, raising his beard.

Lan Tian knew that it was difficult to live in troubled times. He had no martial arts skills, no strategy, and was not from a noble family. These conditions limited his promotion paths. Instead of following Gan Qian in a nepotistic relationship, he might as well just farm in Xiaopei, where he could meet his professional counterpart.

After all, we are all farmers, so where are we not growing?

The main reason is that Lan Tian has a bad impression of Liu Bei. How can you be my lord? And based on Lan Tian's understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei probably won't be able to stay very stable in Xuzhou.

The bumper harvest of millet in Ganjiazhuang was all due to the scientific planting techniques taught by Lantian. The tenant farmers also knew how to be grateful when they had surplus grain. They sold some grain, bought eggs, meat, and fruits and sent them to Ganji's home.

Ganji now goes to Xiapi to enjoy his blessings. With his adopted son Lantian as the new owner of the village, the tenants of the village feel more and more hopeful about their future.

During the off-farm season in winter, Xiaopei is located in the Huaihe Plain and the terrain is flat. Because there are no hills to block the cold wind, the weather outside is very cold.

The people in the village were keeping their cats fat at home, and Lantian wanted to find some books to read. Unfortunately, in this era, books, a scarce resource, were mostly in the hands of the nobles, and there were no books available on the market.

It turns out that most of the bamboo slips stored in the village are for children's enlightenment. Lan Tian quickly read through them. With his learning ability as a graduate student at the Agricultural University and his ability to read ancient books from a God's perspective, he basically has no reading difficulties.

With a lot of time left, this guy can only devote his energy to cooking. He is a loyal fan of "The Tip of the Tongue" and the tenant farmers on the farm have sent a lot of ingredients. This guy can close the door and do whatever he wants, but because of this

The condiments of the times are limited, so we can only constantly improve the dishes.

In the spring of 195 AD, spring plowing and sowing began in Ganjiazhuang. At this time, more farmers came here to learn farming. In addition to people from the village, there were also many people from other villages. Through word of mouth from the tenant farmers, Lantian became famous in the small village for a while.

The neighborhood of Pei became famous.

The summer millet harvest in July was not as good as the harvest at the end of last year due to rain and pests and diseases. However, apart from paying taxes, there was basically a small amount of surplus grain. This was all due to Lantian's fertilizer and pest control methods.

In such a disaster year, people in any place would starve to death, but not only did the tenant farmers near Xiaopei not starve, they also mastered many new skills, and these agricultural skills will be used throughout their lives.

Lan Tian gradually became a myth among these tenant farmers. He seemed to possess endless agricultural knowledge, and he had become a folk leader near Ganjiazhuang.

Because Lan Tian was eloquent and able to distinguish right from wrong, and was related by marriage to Liu Bei, the shepherd of Xuzhou, the people in the village were not willing to trouble the government when they encountered disputes and fights, but instead approached him to adjudicate and deal with them.

In late July, Lu Bu failed to steal a house in Yanzhou and defected to Xuzhou. Liu Bei sent him to station in Xiaopei as a way of taking advantage of him.

The iron-clad farmer and the flowing water lord.

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

Lantian is now the owner of Ganjiazhuang, and every year the villagers donate grain, so apart from improving some varieties and conducting experiments, he basically does not have to cultivate the land himself.

After basic food and clothing are taken care of, I begin to yearn for a better life.

In order to ensure the diversity of food varieties, Lantian asked Ganqian to purchase many vegetable and fruit seeds from Xiapi, and then set aside a small piece of land for experimental planting.

After Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty was sent to the Western Regions, he brought back many fruits and vegetable seeds. Now, in addition to staple foods such as rice, beans, bean sprouts, and millet, there are also onions, garlic, broad beans, sesame, carrots, cucumbers, and other vegetable and non-staple foods.

In addition to cultivating a vegetable garden in his backyard, Lan Tian also built a grape trellis in front of his house. This little life like Li Ziqi's gradually became more prosperous.

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

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

"Grapes? Why are they different from what I've eaten before?"

"Then ask."

"promise."

"Hey, what's hanging on this vine? Is it grapes?" the burly man asked.

"Girl, you have good eyesight. These are indeed grapes." Lan Tian shook his cattail leaf fan and nodded. He was not an ordinary family who could recognize grapes. Looking at the extraordinary attire of the two, he knew that they must have a good background.

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

Lan Tian saw that although this woman was still childish, she had beautiful features, beautiful features, red lips and white teeth. She looked like she was about the same age and height as himself.
