Chapter 290 Fame and fortune is a double-edged sword

The fire is flowing in July, and the breeze is blowing on the face of Leishui Pier.

Hao Pu, the prefect of Guiyang, accompanied Lantian to see him off. Li Yang and Deng Ai came from Linwu with thousands of young men. They were going to take the transport ship in the river to Shu.

These young and strong people have relaxed expressions. In addition to simple clothing and luggage, the rest they need to bring are seeds. With the planting technology they now master, they can survive as long as there is soil.

Lan Tian looked at the scene in front of him and asked Li Yang curiously: "How do you choose? They are all young people with a single appearance. Do your family members trust them to enter Sichuan?"

Li Yang pointed at the busy figure and laughed: "I heard it was the intention of the young bank owner. The bankers rushed to sign up. I picked and picked the selected strong men. They have brothers and sisters in their families. This is the place to go."

The branches and leaves are blooming in Yizhou."

"Aren't they married?" Lan Tian asked again.

"My husband once said that the girl from Yizhou is very beautiful, so she is holding back her energy to go to Shu to marry her," Li Yang explained.

Sweat rolled down Lantian's forehead, "Yizhou's soil and water do support people, but if five boats bring in a thousand bachelors, how can there be so many ready-made girls waiting for them to marry?"

Li Yang said nonchalantly: "Then everyone depends on their abilities. Besides, they mainly work in the fields, so they can't think about women all day long."

Lan Tianxin said that your boy has become naughty now: "What I promised will definitely be done. After Yizhou is completely pacified, I will write to Zhuge Military Advisor and ask him to take care of the children of Xindengzhuang."

"After all, he is Shizai's teacher. In addition to arranging for doctors and craftsmen to accompany him, he has also considered all the following matters. If I were ten years younger, I would never let you steal my job..." Li Yang laughed.

Deng Ai scratched his head in embarrassment. Lan Tian, ​​who usually kept a low profile, made special arrangements for him. In addition to Hao Pu, the prefect of Guiyang, more than ten county officials came to see him off.

Except for Linwu Ling Xu An, Deng Ai did not know most of the officials. Faced with everyone's auspicious words, he could only respond politely and carefully watch the different performances of each official.

Before Lan Tian left, he taught him that in order to walk in the world, in addition to being able to do things, you must also learn to be a human being. Every official here has something worth learning. As long as he can understand the heart through the superficial, he will definitely achieve something in the future.

Before Deng Ai boarded the ship, he paid great tributes to Lan Tian and Li Yang respectively. On the one hand, he asked Lan Tian to take care of himself, and on the other hand, he asked Li Yang to take care of old Deng Gong.

The sailors raised the sails and rowed the oars, and the transport ship sailed slowly towards the north. Deng Ai and Li Yi stood on the bow of the ship and kept waving. The shadow of the ship was reflected in the river water, slowly stretched out, and finally disappeared from sight.

outside.

"Deng's grandson was sent to the front line at such a young age. Old Mr. Deng would probably be annoyed with me, right?" Lan Tian turned to ask Li Yang.

Li Yang shook his head and said: "On the contrary, Shi Zai has recovered from his stuttering now and has learned skills from the young village owner. My uncle hopes that he can make some achievements, and this time the old man's wish has been fulfilled."

Lan Tian stroked his beard and said, "The old owner of the village does have a keen eye, otherwise you, a foreigner, would not have been recruited as a son-in-law."

Li Yang smiled and complimented: "I also have the skills of Bishop Zhuang. If my uncle doesn't like me, he might have other good fortunes, but the young Lord Zhuang doesn't have such a satisfactory disciple."

Lan Tian pointed at Li Yang and shook his head and said, "You have such a mouth now, and your personality is much more cheerful than when you were in Xuzhou..."

"Now that we are in charge of so many dealers, there must be some changes. Although I am not as smart as Shi Zai, I still know how to be flexible..." Li Yang grinned.

When Lan Tian nodded in affirmation, Hao Pu came over with officials from Guiyang.

"General Lan has come all the way, and I have prepared a banquet in Chen County. I beg you and Master Li to show your respect." Hao Pu greeted with a smile.

Lan Tian patted Li Yang on the shoulder and said, "Prefect Hao Shengyi Quanquan, would you like to come with me?"

"The young master of the village has given you orders that I will fight with swords, mountains and fires without hesitation." Li Yang said seriously, which made Lan Tian not accustomed to it.

Since Liu Bei left Chenxian, Lantian had not stayed in Chenxian for several years. When he returned here, he felt that not much had changed, but the streets were more lively and prosperous than before, and with the increase in productivity, there were more shops on the streets.

Hao Pu held a banquet in the main hall of the Guiyang Prefecture. Originally, Lan Tian and Li Yang were given the first place on the left and right, but Li Yang knew better and sat behind Lan Tian.

After all, Li Yang was the owner of Dazhuang. He knew that although he had a close relationship with Lantian, he did not dare to stand up to the county officials in Guiyang, especially since his parents, official Xu An, still sat at the bottom.

Hao Pu had a good impression of the sensible Li Yang. Last time he inspected Linwu County with Lantian and watched the football match. He just wished Xu An to take good care of Xin Dengzhuang, and he did not condescend to flatter him.

"I heard that the famous dishes in Guiyang County and even Jingzhou are all from the hand of General Lan. Hao here is just doing everything, but he still invites the general to taste it." Hao Pu picked up the wine glass and greeted with a smile.

Lan Tian looked at the familiar dishes on the table and knew that Guiyang's recipe was still the same as before, and his new recipe in Lingling had not been updated yet. After trying it, it tasted really good.

"Hao Taishou is attentive." Lan Tian responded by raising his wine glass.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere in the palace became lively. Officials from Guiyang came forward to propose toasts one after another. Haopu was quite comforted by the scene.

Linwu ordered Xu An, the last person to come over. He was confused after becoming famous in the Yangtze River News. Among his colleagues, there were some who were envious and some who wanted to learn from him, but most of them were jealous and excluded.

The kid was so difficult that Hao Pu had no choice but to do anything. Xu An originally thought of going to Sichuan for a change of environment, but Lan Tian finally gave the opportunity to Deng Ai.

When Xu An was toasting, Hao Pu also leaned over to speak for his fellow countryman: "When General Lan said that he would help him become famous, I didn't believe it at first. I didn't expect that the power of the Yangtze River Newspaper is really... Magistrate Xu has to compete with the general."

Have a few drinks.”

Lantian sent someone to inquire about Xu An's situation. He had been observing his words and expressions just now, and found that there was sadness hidden in this man's eyebrows. He smiled and said: "It is said that you are not afraid of being late when you have a good meal. Real gold must be practiced with fire. County Magistrate Xu should continue to work hard."

..”

"I understand my humble position." Xu An picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Hao Pu leaned over and asked in confusion: "I once heard from Master Li that the general wanted to transfer County Magistrate Xu to work in the fields in Sichuan. Why didn't he go with him this time?"

Lantian said sternly: "Yizhou is still in war, and it would be better for the farming to be more extensive. That's why I didn't let Magistrate Xu go with us. I will make arrangements when Sichuan is settled. Governor Hao won't be reluctant to leave."

"It's his good fortune to have General Lan take his fancy. Why don't you give the general two more glasses?" Hao Pu gestured to Xu An.

Xu An poured himself a drink and drank three large cups in a row to express his gratitude. Lan Tian stopped him and said sincerely: "Fame and wealth are a double-edged sword. Don't be afraid of the eyes of mediocrity. They are not qualified to walk with the strong. They can only get better and better."

Strong people will never be knocked down, so you can’t be discouraged."

Lan Tian encouraged Xu An to start fighting. He didn't want the example he set first to sink in his official career.
