Linyi State (Rinan County) is located in the central part of Vietnam in later generations. It is located south of the Tropic of Cancer, with high temperature and rain, and a tropical monsoon climate. Due to the sparse population in the Han Dynasty, Rinan County still maintains its original style.

The reason why Lantian chose to send troops in winter was mainly because he was worried that the soldiers would not be accustomed to the climate. Once there was a large-scale acclimatization, the consequences would be quite serious.

"Boyang has thought carefully. The climate in Linyi is hotter and humid than that in Jiaozhou. Therefore, before sending troops, you must find more guides and try to move forward and retreat along the coastline with the supply ships. You must not rush into the jungle for the sake of success. Medicines to prevent miasma are already being prepared.

, In addition, there are many poisonous springs in the forest, so drinking water must be heated before use..." Lantian kept reminding him, like a nagging mother.

With the strength of the trapped army, it should be easy to conquer Rinan County. Lan Tian also wanted to give Lan Yuan a chance to practice, so he did not plan to conquer it himself. In addition, there will be major reforms in Jiaozhou soon, so he needs to be in Guangzhou to ensure the smooth progress of the reforms.

Gao Shun and Lan Yuan nodded frequently after hearing this, and guest Guan Ping also admired Lan Tian's caution.

After everyone chatted for a while, dishes from the kitchen were served on the table. Since most of the food was seafood near the sea, Guan Ping was a little repelled by the fishy smell of the sea. He always used his chopsticks to eat pickled products, so he ate more cautiously.

When Lan Tian saw this, he immediately saw the reason, and asked someone to prepare the shabu-shabu, and personally prepared a dipping sauce for Guan Ping. He said with a smile: "The so-called people rely on mountains and water to eat. Jiaozhou is adjacent to the sea, and the meat is mainly seafood."

Lord, if Tan Zhi can't accept it for a while, you can try it with dipping sauce, Yide likes it very much."

Guan Ping solemnly replied: "Uncle San has a very good appetite. My nephew has eaten a lot of river fish, but he doesn't eat much seafood. But please don't worry, uncle, I just want to try more..."

"The food in the sea has its own fragrance, and it tastes best after it is cooked. However, everyone's taste is different, and I won't force it here. You can feel free to relax." Lantian waved his hand gently.

Guan Ping set up a piece of fish and said meaningfully: "I have been fighting with my father for many years. Occasionally, the army has no food. As long as I can eat anything, I don't know how lucky I am to have such a piece of meat at that time."

."

"It's like this in war. As long as you have a stutter, it doesn't matter if it's delicious or not. Just follow your husband and your appetite will gradually develop." Gao Shun shook his head and sighed.

"Soldiers are going through life and death, and they should be well fed. But you can rest assured that there will not be many opportunities for soldiers to go hungry in the future..." Lan Tian said with firm eyes.

"Sir, you can turn decay into magic. Ever since you started working in Xinye, I never thought that I would run out of food." Gao Shun nodded.

"The hard days are over. Tan Zhi came all the way here and wants to treat this place as his home. In the future, when the military affairs are not busy, he can bring his family to visit often. The winter in Guangzhou is warm, and Military Advisor Xu often brings his mother here.

"Lu Lingqi invited politely.

"Yes...aunt..." Guan Ping nodded.

"Brother, my mother is right. My father built some houses in Guangzhou specifically for you to live in. I will take you around the city tomorrow." Lan Yuan looked very enthusiastic.

Lan Tian nodded happily, "Tan Zhi has come all the way, Boyang should show his friendship as a landlord."

"It would be great if Zhong Ling came back with Tan Zhi..." Lu Lingqi and Lan Ji hadn't seen each other for two years. When she saw everyone enjoying themselves, she thought of her youngest son.

Guan Ping explained with a smile: "Zhong Ling is mainly in charge of the youth camp. He spends most of his time training every day. I really don't know what he is going to do. I think those hundreds of people are already capable of going to the battlefield, but my father doesn't give any training to the youth camp."

Opportunities for combat, but occasionally given the task of catching theft."

"This matter was discussed between Yunchang and I. Zhong Ling is famous as a young man and is arrogant. His impetuous temper may cause big problems in the future, so he needs to work on it for a few more years. If Zhong Ling feels aggrieved, you can call him

Come back to Jiaozhou and talk to me." Lan Tian looked serious.

"Zhong Ling is not afraid of my father, but he is particularly in awe when it comes to my uncle, so he will never refute what you have decided." Guan Ping quickly put in good words for Lan Ji.

Lan Tian stroked his beard and Gao Shun looked at each other and smiled, saying that there was nothing wrong with the strict education for so many years.

Looking at the thoughtful Lu Lingqi next to him, Lantian said to Guan Ping: "Yun Chang has never been to Jiaozhou. Tanzhi goes back and brings him a message, asking him to stay here for a few days during the Chinese New Year, and by the way, take care of Zhong.

When Ling Yi was brought back, military training is also very particular, so it would be a good idea to ask Bo Ping for advice."

Guan Ping clasped his fists and replied: "My nephew will definitely bring the words to you."

Lan Tian raised his glass and said, "Tan Zhi will come too when the time comes."

"Uh... let's see what father arranges..." Guan Ping smiled awkwardly.

Lan Tian and others ate and chatted until late at night.

Outsiders had never stayed in the back house of the Prefectural Mufu, but Lantian set a precedent for Guan Ping by letting Lan Yuan and Guan Ping sleep in the east wing together.

When Gao Shun saw this, he couldn't help but sigh that his husband and General Guan had been close friends for many years, and their relationship was so good.

Guan Ping is not as aloof as Guan Yu, and his personality is much calmer. He has many similarities with Lan Yuan. Lan Tian intends to let the eldest son of the two families get closer to each other.

Everyone got up early the next day. After breakfast, everyone had their own things to do.

Guan Ping agreed to stay for another two days, but Lan Yuan put aside the matter at hand and took this distant brother of the Guan family to play in Guangzhou city in casual clothes.

Walking in the bustling neighborhood, seeing a dazzling array of goods, Guan Ping could not imagine the past. The land under his feet was a wasteland a few years ago, and he thought that his uncle was not only good at farming, but also had strong political skills.

Jiang Wan, the governor of Jiaozhou and the prefect of Nanhai, came to the state Mufu at the appointed time. When Gao Yuan invited him to enter the back hall, he saw Lan Tian drawing on a piece of white paper. The drawing was a long square frame, and then used lines.

Connect the boxes together, from top to bottom like branches branching from less to more.

"Master Fu, what are you..." Jiang Wan asked curiously.

Lan Tian was engrossed in drawing and didn't notice Jiang Wan coming in. He looked at the drawing paper and smiled and said: "Gong Yan came just in time. I have something that I have been preparing for many years and I plan to launch it recently, so I will discuss it with you first."

"Is this it?" Jiang Wan pointed at the drawing paper with a puzzled expression.

Lan Tian nodded slightly and said to himself that this is the composition of the organizational structure. You will understand after I fill in the departments. He first wrote the word "Jiaozhou" in the top box.

"The current official system of the imperial court is mainly concentrated at the three levels of imperial court, county and county. Among them, the rights and functions of counties are too large, which makes management inconvenient. Previously, I had established state-level government offices such as the Press and Press Office and the Medical Office.

The results of the operation in the past two years are pretty good, so we plan to expand the state-level yamen to make the government's operations more efficient." Lan Tian replied seriously.
