Lan Tian and Jieyang Cultivate Seaweed

Longchuan is located in the northeastern part of Jiao Province. Because it is the furthest from the political center of Nanhai and quite a distance from the coast of Jieyang, it has the smallest population and the weakest economic strength among the six counties of Nanhai.

After several years of administration by Tan Dingzhou, it finally attracted a large number of immigrants, leaping to become the second most populous county in Nanhai, excluding Guangzhou (including Panyu).

Jieyang borders the sea and possesses inland rivers, fertile land, and open terrain. The indigenous people are mostly fishermen, and the farmers who grow grain have relatively backward planting techniques.

After Tan Dingzhou took office as the Longjie Governor, he applied to Lan Tian for several Agricultural Researcher personnel and improved production under their guidance.

During the period when Shamoke was stationed in Longchuan, he and Tan Dingzhou, both "ethnic minorities," built a friendship. He settled the barbarians who had moved from Chenyang in Jieyang, continuing to make a living by fishing and rice cultivation.

After Lan Tian proposed artificial kelp farming, he traveled to Jieyang half a year ago with dozens of Agricultural Researcher personnel and dozens of craftsmen.

The principle of kelp farming is indeed simple. Combined with the experience of kelp farmers from later generations, one only needs to select the safest and most secure single-raft design and carry out rope-based cultivation.

Lan Tian had dabbled in kelp farming during an elective course in the Department of Agriculture, so there were no technical obstacles. However, production tools in this era were extremely backward, and the first step became a major difficulty: using wild kelp for seedling cultivation.
