Jiang Wan nodded half-understanding, and Lan Tian added: "You can talk to anyone about anything, as long as you remember two principles."
"What principle?" Jiang Wan humbly asked for advice.
"First, don't talk about the affairs of Jingzhou, and second, don't talk about the people in Jingzhou." Lan Tian replied firmly.
"Why?" Jiang Wan was very puzzled.
Lan Tian stretched out two fingers and bent them one by one, and said slowly: "First, there is no perfect policy in the world. If you discuss your own family affairs and talk about state affairs without control, you may be used by the enemy to cause turmoil; second, if you comment on the people in Jingzhou, it will make the critics There is a strange relationship between the critics and the critics; we are not doing monthly reviews, but making newspapers a weapon to unite people and disintegrate the fighting spirit of the enemy."
"Jiang Wan takes orders."
Lan Tian walked out of the Book Office and went to the pesticide workshop, but found that the raw materials for making pesticides began to be in short supply again, so he ordered the counties to send people to collect and send them to Quanling, and finally went to the experimental field outside the city to check the pest control situation.
After nearly 20 days of hard work, in the rice-producing areas of Jingnan counties, the first-generation breeding larvae of borers have basically been controlled.
Lantian has been intentionally preventing insects since the end of last year, but there are still large areas of borers appearing in Jingnan. The tenacity of their lives is incredible. It is not clear where these borers come from, whether it is Jiaozhou, Jiangbei, or Jiangdong. of?That can be blocked by mountains and rivers.
When Lantian returned to the mansion after dusk, the family had already had dinner, and everyone sat in the backyard to enjoy the coolness and watch the moon.
As soon as Lan Tian walked into the garden connected to the back house, the extremely clever Lan Ji rushed over, A Dou followed inside without knowing it, and Lan Yuan was as stable as an old dog washing his feet in cold water, because it was past Xu time.
Lan Tian made a rule before that no matter how crazy the children are playing during the day, they must sleep on the couch at [-]:[-] pm, and children of this age must maintain adequate sleep.
"Ji'er, Adou, what are you doing?" Gan Qian called and chased after her.
After Zhou Shan's incident last time, the entire prefect's mansion has strengthened the guards, especially the garden connecting the back house. The female guards trained by Lu Lingqi are patrolling around the clock, but Gan Qian is just worried.
Just as Gan Qian walked to the garden gate, she saw Lan Ji and A Dou sitting on Lan Tian's arms and frolicking. Her foster brother came towards her with a child in each hand.
"Come down soon? Your father and uncle have been tired all day." Gan Qian scolded with a frown.
Sitting on Lan Tian's left arm, Lan Ji didn't take it seriously, and he laughed and said, "Father is so good at martial arts, how can it be tiring to hold two children?"
Lan Tian's scalp became numb when he heard it. He has nothing to do with martial arts, he can only have a lot of strength, "Ji'er, who did you listen to? Is your father a martial artist?"
"Father, stop pretending. Aunt has already told us." Lan Ji said mysteriously.
Lan Tian looked at Gan Qian innocently, and said to herself, sister, what did you tell the children?
Gan Qian quickly explained: "I didn't say anything, Ji'er, did you hear wrong?"
At this moment, A Dou, who was sitting on Lantian's right arm, said, "Mother, I told Brother Ji today how powerful my uncle was when he was young..."
"A Dou, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. A man must be honest and trustworthy." Gan Qian frowned. After going around for a long time, is it you kid spreading rumors?
A Dou said calmly, "Did uncle save you in Xiapi City?"
Gan Qian nodded, "There is such a thing. When Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, your father was defending in Xiaopei, and I stayed in Xiapi with other family members. It was indeed your uncle who took the risk to save me."
A Dou smiled and said, "Isn't that enough? My uncle fought back more than 20 hooligans with his bare hands, and even killed one of them with one punch. Did he punch through his chest?"
The more Lan Tian listened, the more outrageous it became. What does it mean that the chest is pierced?I'm not One-Punch Man, A Dou's understanding is wrong, or is someone trying to myth me?
Chapter 259
Lan Tian looked at A Dou in disbelief, and then at Gan Qian innocently, thinking that your son should write novels.
Gan Qian hurriedly asked, "Adou, who told you all this?"
A Dou muttered in a low voice: "I promised to keep it secret..."
Gan Qian snarled coquettishly, "You bastard, how can you lie to your parents?"
Lan Tian saw that Adou was about to cry, so he quickly bumped Adou's little butt with his hand, and coaxed him with a smile: "The big man rules the world with filial piety, and Adou is so smart, how could he disobey his mother?"
A Dou leaned on Lantian's shoulder, glanced at Gan Qian secretly, and then said in a low voice: "Sister Wan told me that her mother was trapped in the same yard with you. Repelled the bad guys in the courtyard..."
"She was right, but your uncle..." Gan Qian was in the middle of speaking, wondering if she should tell the truth.
A Dou went on to add: "Uncle was so powerful at the time, he punched an enemy back, and the dead man's chest was covered in blood, so I guess he punched through..."
"What else did she say?" Gan Qian asked again.
A Dou rolled her small eyes, "Sister Wan's mother told her to remember her kindness, and when she grows up, she must respect her uncle..."
Hearing this, Lan Tian and Gan Qian looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that Mi Zhen still remembered this past event before she was alive.
Women in this era are already miserable. Mi Zhen guessed that after her death, her daughter Liu Wan would be raised by Gan Qian.
Mi Zhen knows that Lan Tian is more capable than her two elder brothers, and that she and Lu Lingqi are often praised by outsiders for their harmony, so she teaches Liu Wan to be grateful for being close to Lan Tian, so that she will be protected by Lan Tian in the future.
Lan Tian explained calmly: "At that time, your mother and Wan'er's mother were hiding in the room, and my uncle was actually holding a sword in his hand, and there were a few guards to help..."
"Uncle must be being humble. Father often says that about you..." A Dou glared at him.
Lan Ji also booed, "Father loves it like this, and the two uncles, General Guan and General Zhang, also said the same..."
Gan Qian smiled wryly: "Ziyu, don't explain yourself, who told you to act low-key and modest..."
Lan Tian then put the two children on the ground, waved and said, "Let General Guan and General Zhang hug you, they are the real martial arts masters."
Lan Ji didn't really want to hug him, he just wanted to feel his father's love up close. During this period of time, Lan Tian was so busy that he often didn't see anyone all day long.
A Dou was a little unsure, Lan Ji put his hands on his shoulders, and said in a low voice and mysteriously: "Is there any woman in the world who can beat a man? My aunt can't beat my uncle, right? So my mother can't beat my father either..."
"Auntie is not an ordinary woman..." A Dou said doubtfully.
The two children whispered to each other, embarrassing the two adults behind them. When they walked into the yard, they found that Lu Lingqi was not there. Lan Tian asked Gan Qian suspiciously, "Where did Madam go?"
"The weather is too hot now. My siblings have gone back to take a shower to relieve the heat. You are tired and go back to the house early to rest. I will take the children to sleep first." Gan Qian replied.
"It's so hot in the room, father, I really can't sleep, can I watch the stars in the yard, and then go back to the house when it's not hot?" Lan Ji kept in mind the agreement at three o'clock in Xushi.
"Uncle, why don't you tell us a story?" Adou followed suit.
"Do you have a story to listen to?" Lan Yuan also came over after pouring out the footwashing water.
Lan Tian looked at the stars in the sky, and he remembered that the moon is a crescent moon, and the moon only appears in the western sky in the evening. No wonder the stars are so dazzling tonight. Lu Lingqi's plan to appreciate the moon may fail.
"Ziyu, it's been unbearably hot these few nights, why don't you let the children cool off in the yard?" Seeing the children saying this, Gan Qian couldn't help but chime in.
Lan Tian looked at the children full of anticipation, and suddenly remembered the days when he was young watching the starry sky in the countryside. It was also a day without fans and air conditioners, and he relied on the wind of nature to survive the scorching heat.
Lan Tian moved a few low tables to make beds, and asked the maid to spread mats on them, which looked like a long bunk.
"Ziyu, you let the children sleep in the yard at night? Not only are they bitten by mosquitoes, but they are also prone to cold..." Gan Qian asked worriedly.
"It's cooler in the courtyard, let the children sleep for a while, and then take them back to the house later."
Lan Tian recalled that when he was young, he often slept in the open air. The conditions at that time seemed to be worse than now. He always slept in a large round dustpan, supported by two long benches. The stars back then were the same as they are now. shiny.
"Okay, Ziyu, watch them first, I'll go see if Wan'er and Shu'er are asleep." Gan Qian nodded.
"If it's stuffy in the room, call them out to enjoy the cool air." Hearing what Adou said, Lan Tian felt a little touched. Don't look at Mi Zhen's temper as a young lady, who is still planning for her daughter when she is dying. This is the so-called maternal love, right? .
Gan Qian empathized and turned back to the house, while Lan Tian was lying in the middle of the 'Tongpu'. He looked at the sky and said, "Come here, children, I will teach you stargazing."
"Father, what star is that?" Lan Ji asked, pointing to a star.
Lan Tian looked in the direction of the little hand and found that the child actually asked about a special star. He smiled and said to everyone: "You all better remember this star. Its name is Polaris. If you get lost in the night If you know the direction, you can use it to identify the direction, and the North Star points to the north."
A Dou asked suspiciously: "But these stars are all similar, how can we find Polaris?"
Lan Tian smiled and said, "Observe carefully, the stars in the sky are actually moving slowly, but the Polaris is the only one that doesn't move. Another way is to find the Big Dipper, which is the seven close together not far from it. ..."
"I saw it, but the shape seems to be very special." Lan Yuan said to himself.
"Isn't it like a spoon? The first four are buckets, and the remaining three are bucket handles. The mouth of the bucket is facing the North Star." Lan Tian continued to introduce.
"Really, this spoon is easier to find." A Dou sat up excitedly, at this time Gan Qian took Liu Wan and Liu Shu out to cool off.
"Ziyu has already started talking?" Gan Qian asked with a smile.
Lan Tian replied while lying down: "Well, I teach children stargazing."
"Wan'er, Shu'er, go to bed quickly, your uncle is not often free." Gan Qian joked.
Lan Ji then urged: "Father, please continue to talk..."
"Just now I said that the Polaris determines the north, and the spoon-shaped Big Dipper can determine the four seasons. The handle points to the east for spring, the handle points to summer, the handle points to the west for autumn, and the handle points to the north for winter." Lan Tian didn't expect that The studious one is the smallest one.
After hearing this, A Dou had an idea, and asked suspiciously: "If you know the four seasons, wouldn't you be able to determine your position with the Big Dipper?"
Lan Tian looked at A Dou in surprise, gave him a thumbs up, and praised: "A Dou can draw inferences from one example, and a child can be taught..."
"What's the name of father's star?" It was the youngest Lan Ji who asked again.
"Sirius."
2 Chapter [-]: Pang Tong Adds Fire
"Wow, what a majestic name, can this star point out the direction?" Lan Ji sat up and looked at Lan Tian.
Lan Tian shook his head and said with emotion: "This star also has a unique meaning. In the past, astrologers referred to the invading alien race. Its light and dark changes indicate the safety of the frontier..."
"Foreign race? Is it the Yue race and the Wuxi barbarian race?" Lan Yuan asked again.
"The Yue and Wuxi Man obeyed the rule of the Han Dynasty, and now they have merged with the Han. The real aliens are the Huns and Xianbei in the north. They often plunder the border villages and slaughter the people in the border areas. They are the heart of the Central Plains. You guys My eldest father used to fight against aliens in Bingzhou."
Lan Tian said with melancholy in his heart. He thought of Wuhu Luanhua, Liao, Jin, Mongolia and other foreign races. The confrontation between China and foreign races seemed to never stop.
"Brother, when we grow up and destroy the Xiongnu and Xianbei in the north, what about this Sirius?" Lan Ji expressed his attitude boldly, feeling Lan Tian's emotions.
Lan Yuan echoed, "Well said, our brothers have divided the Xiongnu and Xianbei."
"What about me? Lan Ji, you didn't take me with you..." A Dou leaned over with a look of resentment on his face.
Lan Ji hurriedly asked: "Father, are there any other races in the north? Give Adou one too..."
Lan Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, "There are still many alien races in the north, and we will divide them up when you grow up..."
"Uncle, tell me a story..." Liu Wan whispered, the little boy likes to play war games, but the little girl doesn't have much interest.
Lan Tian nodded, pointed to two special stars in the sky and introduced: "This one is called Altair, and the other one is called Vega. It is said that a young man named Dong Yong met a beautiful girl on the bridge... ..."
Girls like to hear this kind of love story, because the status of women in ancient times was low, and they did not dare to expect to have love at all. Lan Tian told it vividly and interestingly, Liu Wan and Liu Shu listened carefully, and even Gan Qian who was listening was sentimental.
The poignant love of Cowherd and Weaver Girl seems to be similar to Gan Qian. Although she and Liu Bei have no love, the two husband and wife are now separated.
"What time is it? Are you still asleep?" A familiar voice came from the north. Lu Lingqi was standing on the steps in tulle, and the oil lamp in her hand cast a long shadow.
"I've seen the stars, and I've told the story, so go to bed now." Seeing this, Lan Tian urged, clapping his hands.
"Father, what are you so afraid of?" Lan Ji asked in a low voice, tugging at Lan Tian's lapel.
Lan Tian made a gesture of hissing, and then whispered: "Keep it secret."
Lan Ji's eyes widened, "Well, I see."
Gan Qian and Lan Tian nodded, and called the maid to carry the five little ones into the room, and then removed the 'Tongpu' in the courtyard.
After a short period of busyness, the backyard gradually returned to silence, only the chirping insects in the trees and grass remained.
Lu Lingqi and Lan Tian were sitting opposite each other in the room. In addition to the prepared drinks, there were several exquisite side dishes on the small table.
"My husband doesn't even know to go into the house when you come back. The more you tell stories to those little guys, the more they can't fall asleep..." Lu Lingqi filled a glass of wine for Lan Tian.
Lan Tian changed the topic, "These small dishes look good, did Xiao Jun ask Sister to cook?"
Lu Lingqi replied: "It's the concubine's room that cooks at night, the husband will try to see if it suits your taste..."
Lan Tian tasted it with chopsticks, and then sighed with a smile: "The taste is really good. The hand that Xiaojun holds Fang Tian's painting halberd can actually make cooking utensils now..."
"You mouth, husband, are you tired today? Let's have a drink first to relieve fatigue." Lu Lingqi handed over the wine glass.
Lan Tian raised his head and gulped it down, and then asked meaningfully: "Didn't Xiaojun say that we want to have a drink under the moon?"
"Who would have thought that there would be no moon tonight? It's the same when we drink in the room, and my concubine is also convenient for you to rest..." Lu Lingqi replied with a blushing face.
Lan Tian cooperatively served Lu Lingqi, and the husband and wife exchanged glasses until late at night.
After a large number of borer insects appeared, the soldiers and civilians in Jingnan counties did their best to control them. During this period, the propaganda ability of Changjiang Newspaper began to show. Larger townships also have the opportunity to cover the administrative yamen.
Although the content of the Yangtze River News is mainly in Jingzhou, it also incorporates the real events of the world, and is brought to various places by businessmen (small works) who travel to and from Jingzhou. Every issue of the Yangtze River News is sent to Jiangling, and Zhuge Liang sends a special person to Jiameng. Guan, Zhuge Liang used this form to convey the message to Liu Bei in Shuzhong.
In September of the 17th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei received the fourth issue of the Yangtze River News at Jiamengguan. At this time, he had led his troops into Sichuan for a year.
When they met in Fucheng last year, Liu Zhang added soldiers and horses to Liu Bei, digested in the sporadic battles with Zhang Lu during this period, and became soldiers loyal to Jingzhou.
Liu Bei fell into deep thought after reading the Changjiang Daily, and there were three pieces of news that concerned him.
The first one is that Jingzhou encountered borer pests; the second one is that Cao Cao dispatched troops to gather in Huainan; the third one is the new Changjiang commentary in the fourth phase, Jingxiang celebrity Changsha prefect Liao Li commented on the Battle of Jiaozhou Moon Bay , implicitly pointed out that Lai Gong was waiting for work with ease, and relied on the geographical advantage to repel Lu Mengjiangdong's exhausted army, and used this to support his allies in defending Cao Cao by relying on the Yangtze River.
"Jingzhou and Jiaozhou are both safe from the newspaper information. Cao Cao's main force is now going to attack Sun Quan. Why is the lord so worried? We should make a plan to take Sichuan as soon as possible." Pang Tong reminded.
