Chapter 136 Sun Quan's Strange Conspiracy

In addition to preparing classrooms, Quanling Academy also arranged residences for craftsmen from various places. Lantian made the academy independent of the Literary Cao, and he, the prefect, also served as a wine worshipper.

When planning to establish Quanling School, Lantian was only proficient in agriculture. The division of labor among craftsmen was both detailed and complex, so he expanded and expanded the school, making it as big as possible if necessary.

The purpose of Quanling Academy is short-term training, and there is no need to master all major categories, because the cycle of training talents is too long. Lantian can't afford to wait, Liu Bei can't afford to wait, and Lingling's taxes can't support it.

Except for the agricultural subject, which has a long practice period, the other six craftsmanship subjects have a study time of five to twenty days. After completing the course, a small number of students go to the private sector, and most of the students are absorbed by the county.

In addition to farming, Lantian also plans to set up county-owned factories to mass-produce military weapons, clothing and armor.

The woodworking subject is divided into seven classes, which teach woodworking, corresponding to the seven types of work: wheel, carriage, bow, hut, craftsman, cart, and zither.

The wheel people make wheels; the carriage people make carriages; the bow people make bows; the Lu people make the handles of long weapons such as daggers, spears, and halberds; the craftsmen build houses, palaces, etc.; the chariot people make ox carts, sheep carts, wooden farm tools, etc.; the Zi people make

Manufactures musical instrument suspensions, drinking vessels and archery targets.

The metal engineering department is divided into six classes, which teach smelting and processing, corresponding to the six types of work: construction, smelting, chestnut, chestnut, section, and peach.

The Zhu family made knives; the Ye family made weapons such as daggers and halberds; the Fu family made bells; the Li family made measuring instruments; the Duan family forged farm tools; and the Tao family forged swords.

The leather engineering department is divided into five classes, teaching leather manufacturing, corresponding to the five types of work: Bao, Wei, Wei and Qiu.

The Han people made leather armor; the Bao people made leather; the Wei people made leather drums; the Wei people made cooked leather; the Qiu people made fur clothes.

The color engineering department is divided into five classes, teaching five types of work: painting, dyeing and weaving, corresponding painting, silk fabrics, bells, baskets, and napkins.

The painter is the painter; the embroiderer is the embroiderer; Zhong is responsible for dyeing the feathers; the basket man is responsible for coloring the cloth, silk and other fabrics; the scarf is boiling the silk and silk until they are soft and white.

The Gua Mo Department is divided into five classes, which teach carving, corresponding to the five types of work: jade, hu, carving, arrows, and chimes.

The Jade people make jade articles; the Qi people make combs, etc.; the Carving people carve bone horns; the Ya people make arrows; and the Qing people make chimes.

The Bohuan Department is divided into two classes, teaching ceramics manufacturing, corresponding to two types of work: pottery and urn.

The potters make pottery; the Hu people make pottery gui (pottery for serving rice).

Because the subject categories were so complex, many craftsmen were not found in the four counties of Jingnan. Lantian also asked Pang Tong to find some in Jiangling, and he could barely get the teachers of each subject together.

After listening to Lan Tian's introduction, Gao Shun was amazed and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that there are so many skills in the world. These are all skills that can help you survive. It is really a good deed by Mr. Wang to run a school..."

"Teaching people how to fish is worse than teaching them how to fish. This is the power of knowledge." Lan Tian said.

In March of the 14th year of Jian'an, when he was preparing to build a school in Lantian, Sun Quan besieged Hefei for several months and was unable to leave. Considering that the two fronts in Jiangdong were fighting and the supply of food, grass and troops were tight, he took the initiative to withdraw from Wu County.

I originally wanted to take advantage of the remaining power of the victory at Chibi to take out Hefei, so that the naval warships from Jiangdong could pass through Huaisi and reach the hinterland of the Central Plains to compete for hegemony.

After Sun Quan returned to Wu County, Lu Su happened to come back to urge for food.

"How is the battle in Jingzhou?" Sun Quanxin said that Chibi fought well, and guessed that the subsequent battles should also be good.

Lu Su replied respectfully: "Liu Qi sent Huang Zhong to capture Jiangling, and Guan Yu, who was in charge of Juebei Road, also captured Xinye..."

"Where is the governor? How is Xiangyang?" Sun Quan asked.

"The city of Xiangyang is strong, and the defenders are quite tenacious. Now the governor is still in a stalemate with Cao Ren..."

Sun Quan frowned, "Both of these two families have achieved their respective goals, but I, Jiangdong, am the only one who didn't get any benefits?"

Lu Su analyzed: "The governor defeated hundreds of thousands of Cao Cao's troops in Wulin. Cao Cao was unable to move south in a short time. This should be the biggest benefit..."

"I have seen the tenacity of Cao Jun in Hefei. I just didn't expect Liu Qi to be able to conquer Jiangling. If Gongjin cannot take Xiangyang, I should discuss it with the two families again. I can't let my Jiangdong family suffer." Sun Quan said with a sullen face.

"My lord, Liu Qi controls the four counties of Jingnan, and now he has gained the full power of Jiangling. We can't treat him like he used to, but Liu Shijun..."

"How is Liu Xuande?"

"When I was passing through Jiangxia, Ambassador Liu once said that the governor had worked hard. If Xiangyang could not be conquered for a long time, he would send the captured new fields to Xiangyang..."

Sun Quan was confused: "Liu Xuande is so benevolent and righteous? What does he want?"

"Liu Shijun received a lot of supplies when he attacked Cao Cao's defeated army. He probably wanted to have good relations with me in Jiangdong and jointly fight against Cao Cao." Lu Su guessed.

Sun Quan nodded in thought. Xinye was far away from Jiangdong and there was no danger to defend it. However, if we firmly occupy this place, it will cut off the connection between Xiangfan and the Central Plains. And because the supply line is interrupted, Xiangfan will fall into his hands sooner or later. The risk is a bit risky, but the benefits are

Very big.

"Liu Xuande is sincere. Zijing is here to discuss it with Gong Jin. Although Xinye is a small county, it is also a stronghold for the north to the Central Plains. It is also connected to the Jianghan Waterway, so it will be very convenient to come and go." Sun Quan asked.

"I will go back and tell the Governor that the soldiers are tired after months of attacking the city and can just go to the new field to rest. Last time I proposed a marriage with Liu Shijun..."

Sun Quan slapped his forehead fiercely, "I have been fighting hard in Hefei for the past few months, and I almost forgot Zijing's words. I will go and discuss with my little sister. Now that Liu Qi is in Jingzhou, it would be good to win over Liu Xuande."

"My lord is wise."

After Lu Su left, Sun Quan came to Sun Shangxiang's residence, where the girl was practicing marksmanship.

Seeing Sun Quan walk in, Sun Shangxiang threw the pear blossom gun aside, "Brother, why do you have time to come here?"

"Don't you love practicing swordsmanship? Why do you suddenly start practicing spears?" Sun Quan was puzzled.

"Women are weak and suffer a lot in sword practice..." Sun Shangxiang complained.

"Although marksmanship requires skill, it also requires strength. Is there someone who can beat you in swordsmanship? My brother will make the decision for you." Sun Quan said with a smile.

"Seriously?" Sun Shangxiang was delighted.

"I am the Lord of Jiangdong, and I must keep my word." Sun Quan smiled and patted his chest.

"Liu Xuande had a guard named Zhao Zilong. It was he who shot down my sword with brute force in Chaisang..." Sun Shangxiang's face was full of grievance.

"No wonder you were depressed on the way back. But Zhao Yun is not a guard. He is a general under Liu Xuande. He is brave enough that no man can match him. It's normal for you to be no match for him, little sister..."

"Ah... General? My brother will definitely not be able to vent my anger for me..." Sun Shangxiang was a little disappointed at first, but when he heard that Zhao Yun was brave enough, he was immediately relieved.

Sun Quan shook his head helplessly. Suddenly he remembered his purpose, and then an idea flashed in his mind, "I have a plan to make Zhao Yun obey my little sister..."

"Brother, aren't you joking with your little sister?" Sun Shangxiang looked unbelieving.

"This is absolutely true." Sun Quan was very sure.

"The plan is coming?"

"Little sister, if you marry Liu Xuande, Zhao Yun will become your retainer..."
