Liu Bei wanted his eldest daughter to marry Zhang Bao and his second daughter to Lan Yuan. Guan Yu had already known this.

With his relationship with Liu Bei, there was no need to use in-laws to stabilize his relationship. Although he now has a daughter, she is still less than one year old. There is no need to think about the future so early, and he does not need to worry as much as Liu Bei.

"My lord, since you are here in Quanling, why not go to Ziyu's school?" Zhuge Liang suggested.

"Very good. Kong Ming said how many classes have been opened for agriculture and carpentry?"

Lan Tian nodded, "Some have already learned carpentry, and now metalworking and leatherworking classes are also starting one after another. There are now nearly two hundred students in Quanling Academy."

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this. Kong Ming had just said that there were only two or three classes more than ten days ago, and the number of students was less than a hundred. In this short period of time, in addition to the increase in students, they have already completed their studies. Isn't Lan Tian's speed fast?

some?

"So fast? How many people have learned carpentry?" Liu Bei asked doubtfully.

"Thirty people have already walked out of Quanling Academy. Except for the agricultural subject, which takes a long time, the other craftsmanship subjects are actually very simple. You only need to learn to use tools and understand simple principles to get started." Lan Tian explained.

"How were these carpenters arranged? Did they really build a workshop?" Liu Bei continued to ask.

"Well, the carpentry workshop is on the outskirts of the city. I will take my brother-in-law there in a moment." Lan Tian replied.

Liu Bei nodded affirmatively and couldn't help but praise: "Ziyu is really vigorous and resolute."

At this time, Lingling was still Liu Qi's territory in name, so neither the teachers nor the students in the school knew Liu Bei, but looking at Lan Tian leading the way, they knew that a group of big shots were coming.

Lantian signaled to Hu Ke to let all classes start classes as normal.

Hu Ke came from the trapped camp and used only a dozen soldiers to arrest the discipline and safety of Quanling Academy.

Everyone walked outside the window of the correspondence class of the leather engineering department. Liu Bei pointed to the seats of different heights in the classroom and asked Zhuge Liang in surprise: "Military advisor, what are these?"

At this time, sitting on one's knees was still popular in society, and benches with vertical legs had appeared, but they had not yet become popular. Liu Bei was very curious when he saw the benches with different heights.

Although Zhuge Liang was knowledgeable, he was quite curious when he saw this scene for the first time. He remembered that the last time he came here, the students were still sitting and listening to the lecture. At that time, Lantian asked the carpentry students to make beds.

There are five rows of more than thirty students in the classroom from front to back. They fan out from the podium to the back. The legs of each row of seats are a few inches higher than those of the previous row. The advantage of this is that everyone can sit comfortably.

You can see the podium.

"The idea is so clever, could it be Ziyu's masterpiece?" Zhuge Liang looked at Lantian and asked suspiciously.

Lantian smiled and said, "It's all just trivial skills..."

The inspiration for the high and low benches came from the later ladder classrooms. Because decorating the floor was time-consuming and laborious, Lan Tian simply made some tricks on the legs of the benches, so that they could not only be freely combined, but also moved anytime and anywhere.

"I knew it was Ziyu's idea. His mind is really different from ordinary people." Zhang Fei praised happily, and Lan Tian smiled slightly at him.

"This doesn't look like a bed..." Liu Bei frowned.

"This named bench is one of the first items produced by the carpentry workshop," Lan Tian explained.

Liu Bei nodded, "Well, it's interesting. I'll go take a look later."

Quanling Academy was planned and built after the layout of later universities. The various circulation designs and the architectural layout are relatively scientific. After the visit, everyone in the group was amazed. Then they visited the wood workshop in the south of the city before returning to the Taishou Mansion.

In the evening Lantian held a banquet at the Quanling Prefecture, and some newly developed dishes were also served, including wine, meat, game and fruits from Jiaozhou.

Zhang Fei took a bite of the sizzling grilled lamb chops and said, "Ziyu, you have to be responsible for me."

Lantian looked confused and thought to himself, "What's this all about?"

Xu Shu laughed loudly: "The third general has been with Zhou Yu for half a year. Every day he has a porridge with clear soup and little water. What he can't forget is the food in Dengjiazhuang. He complains that Ziyu has spoiled his appetite."

"Ah... it's really my fault, so why don't you eat less?" Lan Tian said with a smile.

Zhang Fei ignored him at all, as if he hadn't heard anything. He turned to Guan Yu and said, "Second brother, you should drink some wine..."

That naive look made the whole room burst into laughter.

Upon seeing this, Lan Tian immediately came to Zhang Fei's rescue, "I'm going to add a cooking class in Quanling Academy. Then I can draw some people from each camp to learn for a few days. I can't let Yide starve anymore..."

"This is what you said, I will choose fifty people to send over later." Zhang Fei immediately became energetic.

"Fifty people are too many. Yide, please send ten people. Once they learn it, they can teach others..." Lan Tian shook his head and smiled.

"oh..."

In the later stages of the banquet, they basically talked about drinking and talking. Xu Shu and Kong Ming first talked about the situation of the world, then talked about the marriage with Jiangdong, and finally talked about Zhou Yu's Xiangfan battle.

Since the three great advisers Xu Shu, Wolong, and Fengchu were in place, Lan Tian basically no longer participated in Liu Bei's strategic layout. He concentrated on being responsible for logistics work at the rear. He felt good when he could see his wife and children every day.

Guan Yu was a little drunk at this time. He was still brooding about giving up the new wilderness. During the Juebei Road, he fought very hard and gave the city he had won with blood to Zhou Yu. He always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He picked up the wine glass and suddenly came to Lan Tian's side. This move surprised everyone present.

"Ziyu is an expert in the world. Don't you think it's a pity if Xinye is lost to Zhou Yu? There are not many chances of Cao Cao being defeated due to the epidemic. By then we will march north to the Central Plains and attack Xiangfan again.

..”

Letting Xinye be the emperor was a plan set by Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei. It was a conspiracy recognized by everyone including Lan Tian. At this time, Guan Yu said this under the pretense of being drunk, which made Zhuge Liang look a little ugly. Liu Bei, who was also one of his own, heard this.

Most of the people here are sober.

"Second brother, you drank too much today..." Liu Bei reminded deliberately.

"Ziyu's wine is good, but I'm not drunk yet..." Guan Yufeng's eyes were bluffing, he smoothed his beard and shook his head gently.

Guan Yu drank moderately and never lost his composure. If Lan Tian didn't answer well, he would either break Kong Ming's heart or the knot in Guan Yu's heart could not be solved.

Liu Bei couldn't continue to persuade him. Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang all sat up straight. They wanted to know how Lan Tian planned to answer.

Lan Tian knew that it would be difficult for Guan Yu to seize the northern route, so he comforted him with a smile: "When the sea is flowing across the sea, a hero will show his true qualities. If Zhou Gongjin cannot capture Xiangfan, one day General Guan will lead his troops to capture it. Wouldn't it be better to judge who is stronger and weaker?"

Guan Yu became famous all over the world when he killed Yan Liang on the White Horse, but no famous general in ancient times was proud of the bravery of an ordinary man. Zhou Yu had previously defeated Cao Cao in Chibi. This kind of reputation that will last for future generations is what he longs for. In this way, Lan Tian undoubtedly promoted Guan Yu to a higher level than Zhou Yu.

Guan Yu was obviously very impressed by what he heard, but he didn't speak for a long time.
