Lan Yuan was flattered and waved his hand quickly: "I am just a guard, how can I take on such an important task? My father must have made arrangements..."

"Boyang is in the rear this time. Whether he is handling detailed operations in the city or leading troops into Luling, his performance is remarkable. The opportunity to regain Rinan County is good, how can we miss it so easily?" Gao Shun reminded.

"It's all thanks to the plan my father left before he left, and with the help of Chairman Song and Old Uncle Lu, otherwise I would have been in a hurry..." Although Lan Yuan lowered his head modestly, he was also secretly looking at Lan Tian's face.

"Okay, you don't have to sing along. General Sha, don't worry. I have my own plans in Rinan County." Lan Tian waved his hand.

"Wei." Gao Shun, Samoko and Lan Yuan replied in unison.

"Boping, the trapped army needs to replenish half of its troops. Where are you going to recruit troops?" Lan Tian continued to ask.

Gao Shun replied: "Sir, Lingling has a high prestige in Guiyang. It has been easy to recuperate and recruit soldiers in these years, especially Linwu and Quanling, which you have been in charge of. I plan to go to these places mainly."

"Bo Yang, you can come with us." Lan Tian waved to Lan Yuan.

Lan Yuan and Gao Shun both looked at Lan Tian in confusion, wondering what his intention was.

"As a father, rewards and punishments are always clear. Don't you envy Zhongling's army commander? Let Boping arrange a commander for you to try. If you are not qualified, you can continue to come back and serve as a guard for me." Lan Tian added absently.

Gao Shun was overjoyed after hearing this. He was obviously preparing to train Lan Yuan, so he poked Lan Yuan's waist and said excitedly: "Thank you soon."

"Thank you father, I will definitely live up to your expectations." Lan Yuan clenched his fist tightly.

Lan Tian shook his head gently, "When you arrive at Feibi's house in the army, you must listen carefully to Bo Ping. If I continue to suppress you and your mother stops nagging in my ears, the king will have objections..."

"I understand, kid." Lan Yuan nodded in response.

Lan Tian then stretched out his left hand and said to Gao Shun and Lan Yuan: "I will give you half a year to conquer Ninan after this autumn harvest, and then bring all the recruits of the trapped army with you..."

"Sir, where are my barbarians?" Before Gao Shun and Lan Yuan could answer, Samoko became the first to sit still.

"Half of the barbarian soldiers will be sent out by then." Lan Tian replied.

Samoko suddenly turned from worry to joy, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Then I'll be relieved..."

"That's it for today." Lan Tian stretched and stood up.

"only."

The generals clasped their fists and just turned around, Lan Tian suddenly called out to Shamoko, "General Sha."

"Sir, do you have any other instructions?" Samoko asked in confusion.

Lantian said slowly: "Get ready in the afternoon, we will set off for Jieyang tomorrow."

"Why go to Jieyang?" Samoko scratched his head in confusion.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Don't your people grow kelp anymore?"

"Ah, all kinds of things..." Samoko's head was like a chicken pecking at rice.

When Lan Tian followed everyone out of the back hall, the warm sun was almost rising into the sky. The generals in the hall went back to their camps to do their business. Lan Tian walked down the steps with low spirits.

It’s cold in the north in February, but spring has quietly arrived in Guangzhou.

Lan Tian stood in the courtyard enjoying the sunshine and listening to the birds chirping in the trees.

"Sir, it's almost noon, do you want me to take you back to the back house?" Gao Yuan asked.

Lan Tian shook his head gently, "I told my wife in the morning that I would not go back for lunch today so as not to have to prepare when I go back now. I will go to the cultural district and craftsman area with me. I will have to take some people with me to Jieyang tomorrow."

"Then I'll prepare the horse." Gao Yuan turned and left.

The water temperature for wild kelp growth is 1℃-13℃, which is an environment with low water temperature. It mainly grows in the fertile sea areas of Qingzhou and Liaodong. Although Jiaozhou has a long coastline, the amount of naturally growing kelp is small.

Kelp is very common in the Guangzhou trade area, but because the price is too high, it is rarely delivered to the dining tables of ordinary people.

Lantian engages in artificial breeding not only for military purposes, but also to increase food supplies for the people. As long as future output is guaranteed, the price will naturally be kept down.

Artificial cultivation of kelp is similar to cultivation of mushrooms. In addition to seed selection and breeding, cultivation rafts must also be prepared. There are two types of cultivation rafts: single rafts and double rafts. Each single raft is an independent raft and has a strong ability to withstand wind and waves.

, is the main type of farming raft in coastal areas.

Lantian has the experience of later generations, so he will naturally choose a single-type raft in one step. A single-type raft is composed of a floating raft, a prong cable, a prong, a float, a hanging rope, a seedling rope, etc.

In this era of scarce supplies, single-type rafts cannot use accessories from later generations. Lantian had to communicate with the craftsmen. He put forward his requirements for the craftsmen to answer and use existing substitutes to complete the valve assembly.

Breeding raft is a simple way to teach kelp farming. The most basic and important thing is similar to other crops, that is, raising seedlings.

Kelp farming involves many steps, including building a nursery, selecting seedlings, raising seedlings, dividing seedlings, emerging, and entering the sea. Just building a nursery is extremely demanding. It must design various requirements such as sewage discharge, seawater intake, and lighting. In the absence of industrial equipment,

Under the blessing, all procedures need to be completed manually, so the barbarians in Samoko cannot complete it independently.

When Lan Tian was in Linwu, he personally led 50 agricultural students. Later, he opened a school in Quanling to establish an agricultural college. Some of the students who completed their studies became teachers, some returned to their hometowns and counties to become agricultural officers, and there were dozens of them.

Still engaged in agricultural research.

Lantian has never given up on disseminating professional knowledge. Whether in Quanling or Guangzhou, Lantian has prepared land for agricultural researchers so that they can concentrate on cultivating grain seeds, vegetable seeds, and fruit trees.

When going to Jieyang to engage in kelp farming this time, Lantian plans to bring all these agricultural researchers with him. New knowledge needs to be recorded and disseminated, and these people are the disseminators of agricultural technology.

We walked around Lantian and Gaoyuan City to identify the craftsmen and agricultural researchers who were going to Jieyang, and asked them to pack their clothes and luggage. They might stay in Jieyang for a long time this time.

At Shenshi, Lantian and Gaoyuan passed by the trade area and saw crowds of people in the streets. Sure enough, wherever there is money, there are people, and wherever there is money, money will go.

"Didn't you say that there are many restaurants here, and the techniques I invented have been spread out. Now is the time when I'm hungry. Do you want to find a place to try?" Lan Tian suggested.

Gao Yuan was startled and said with some embarrassment: "There is a mixed crowd in the trade area. Sir, you are traveling in casual clothes today. What should you do if you encounter danger? Why don't you let me inform the Department of Commerce and Trade and ask the chief to clear a street for you?"

"Private visit incognito, it has a special charm. Boyang has already eliminated Xiaoxiao, and there are patrolling soldiers standing guard, so there won't be any problem. Let's go."

"Uh...okay."

Lantian left the horses on the street, and then he and Gao Yuan entered the trading area. The wide roads running east-west here are called streets, and the narrow roads running north-south are called lanes. Business houses and markets are mainly concentrated on the side streets, and food is sold.

Most of the small restaurants are concentrated in vertical alleys.

The two of them were walking slowly when they were suddenly attracted by a restaurant with a plaque saying "Yan Ji Shabu Shabu".
