Chapter 424: Dreams Still Have
Lu Cui came to Chenliu again and gave Jiang Gan a big order. Yuan Tan not only had to buy a large amount of paper and carriage, but also had to book a large number of weapons - it didn't matter if there was no spot, and he could pay a deposit first. If Sun Ce needed it, he could use grain to pay part of the payment. He also told Jiang Gan that Yuan Tan admired Sun Ce very much and wanted to meet Sun Ce, but the military situation was urgent. He wanted to rush to Dongjun to block the Black Mountain bandits, so he could only ask him to greet him.
Lu Cui ran several times, but had been targeted by Jiang Gan, and he also promptly sent the news back to Xu County. Seeing this order, Jiang Gan felt a big stone in his heart, agreed and accepted it with a smile. Sun Ce owed a lot of debts, and someone was willing to do business with him, but he couldn't ask for it.
At the same time, Zhang Miao also made an appointment with Jiang Gan again. Zhang Miao was very satisfied with Sun Ce's failure to sell weapons to Yuan Tan. He also gave Jiang Gan an order. Although it was not as big as Yuan Tan, it was enough to show his sincerity. Knowing that Sun Ce was short of food now, he specially raised 50,000 stones of grain as a deposit to let Jiang Gan bring it to Sun Ce to solve the urgent problem.
Jiang Gan returned with a full load.
When Sun Ce saw the long convoy, he didn't have to listen to Jiang Gan's report, he was so happy. When he saw those two orders, he was even more ecstatic. With these two large orders, the relevant workshops in Nanyang would not have to worry about sales in a short period of time. The difficulty in developing industry and commerce is not only technological development, but also the market. The bigger the market, the more potential it will have, otherwise inflation will soon be caused.
But Sun Ce was not sure why Yuan Tan had such a big change. He knew that Yuan Shao had a stupid move to depose the eldest son and establish the young master, but now that the Long March has not reached halfway, Yuan Shao should not be so optimistic. Moreover, before Yuan Shao died in history, he asked his two sons and one nephew to occupy a state, and it was clear that he wanted to depose the eldest son and establish the young master. Yuan Tan did not dare to let out a teeth, and it is even more impossible now.
Even though Sun Ce's imagination has always been very rich, he still didn't dare to think about it, but this did not affect his acceptance of Yuan Tan's deposit. Don't be a fool if you have money. Not to mention the tens of millions of dollars or tens of thousands of stones of grain, I dare to collect it even if you send a Jinshan Grain Mountain.
With these two orders, not only did the food of the military military soldiers in Xu County be solved, but the safety of the northern line in Yuzhou was temporarily guaranteed and could develop to the south wholeheartedly. Sun Ce was in a good mood and Pang Shanmin accompanied him to Yangdi to inspect the northwest defense of Yingchuan. Good things happened. News came from Yangdi County School that Sima Hui received a conveyance from Pang Shanmin and was willing to meet Sun Ce.
"General, do you want to go to Gaoyang in Yingyin to take a look?" Pang Shanmin suggested.
Sun Ce looked at Pang Shanmin, laughed, and then shook his head again. "No!" After a while, he said meaningfully: "There are still people in Gaoyang, which is quite surprising. Haven't their families moved to Hebei?"
Xun Yu went to Chang'an, but his brothers Xun Yan and Xun Chen were still in Yecheng, and it was clear that they had to place bets from many ways. In this case, even if he came to the door, it would be meaningless. It would be better to do his own thing with peace of mind. When he became stronger, the Xun family would naturally come. Xun You were eating and drinking in Wancheng, neither competing nor leaving, and his attitude was ambiguous, so he might have made this idea.
When he was in Xu County, he did not go to worship Chen Shi, nor did he meet anyone from the Chen family. Now he has passed by Yingyin and does not want to meet Xun's family. He is really not interested in the so-called four chiefs of Yingchuan. It is useless to be interested. People are not interested in him, so they can do nothing. With this time, it is better to spend some time to rely on themselves.
Pang Shanmin said: "The Xun family is a powerful man in Yingyin, with a strong clan and a large population. Although most people went to Hebei, there were still people who were reluctant to leave. There was a seclusion named Xun Yue who studied in seclusion but did not go to Hebei. After Yingchuan was stable, he returned to Gaoyang."
Sun Ce knew Xun Yue, which was the representative of Xun's knowledge. The Xun family was known as the descendant of Xunzi, but in fact, they were powerful in the village and had ordinary knowledge. They began to accumulate reputation from Xun Shu. Taking advantage of the clear discussions among the party members and their descendants were promising, they produced several talents one after another and held high positions. Only then did they go all the way. Among the Xun family's children who are famous for their knowledge, Xun Shuang was the first and Xun Yue was the second. Xun Yue had political comments about "Shen Jian" passed down, but his level was really not very good. Not to mention that he was inferior to his predecessor Wang Fu, he could not be compared with the contemporary Zhong Changtong and Xu Gan.
"Brother Shanmin, Ruying is the base camp of the party members. Party members are more passionate and less rational. Even those who do things like Li Ying will inevitably kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone them. Such people are not suitable for officials, otherwise you, the prefect of Yingchuan, would have to sit down and roar."
Pang Shanmin sighed, "What the general said is very good."
Seeing that Pang Shanmin was in a difficult face, Sun Ce became alert. "Someone can't stay idle again?"
"Not yet. First, Yingchuan suffered a series of war disasters, and the villagers were separated, and the party members were no exception. Some were in Chang'an or Yecheng. Second, the generals were in Yuzhou and were able to rectify Xu Zijiang, but they dared not be presumptuous. However, the party members' habit of discussing politics is still there. In time, it is expected that the resurgence of the ashes is expected. If you are prepared for any event, the general will be prepared."
Sun Ce sneered: "The generals come to block the enemy, and the water comes to flood the earth. What's there to worry about?" He paused and said: "Brother Shanmen, everything will be reversed. Although the disaster of the Party and the Corruption was initiated by eunuchs, the Party members themselves have their own responsibilities. It is not an exaggeration to say that they will blame themselves. I know that the prefect of Yingchuan is not easy to do. You are under a lot of pressure, but everything has a process. If you persist for a while, at most three or five years, the pressure will be reduced."
Pang Shanmin nodded, his expression still heavy. Sun Ce saw it in his eyes, thought for a moment, and chuckled: "Brother Shanmin, I heard that Runan, Yingchuan has always been called difficult to cure, and it is also the most valued by the court. Generally speaking, if you can be competent in Runan, Yingchuan, the next step is either Henan Yin or Jiuqing, you must seize the opportunity."
"General, don't worry, even if Yingchuan is difficult to cure, I will do my best to not let the general have any worries. I dare not think about the three dukes and nine ministers."
Sun Ce quipped: "Dreams still need to be there, what if they come true."
Pang Shanmin couldn't help laughing and laughed loudly. "Talking to the general can always make people relieve themselves. Well, since the general said that, I will cheer up and use the general's heroic spirit to imagine it. In fact, with my Pang family's family background, it is rare for me to be the prefect of Yingchuan now. It's no big deal to think about it. Who can laugh at me and who dares to laugh at me?"
Sun Ce patted Pang Shanmin on the shoulder. "That's right. A young man is not frivolous. Think about what you have to be afraid of. It doesn't matter whether you realize it or not. What's important is whether you have tried hard. Hey, who is that? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Pang Shanmin also put away his smile and looked into the distance.
On the way, dozens of cavalry rushed over, and smoke and dust rolled. After getting closer, they saw the white cloaks and shaking spears, Sun Ce recognized them. This was the Bai Lishi led by Chen Dao, and his heart couldn't help but feel tight.
A moment later, Bai Lishi rushed to Sun Ce. Chen Dao raised his hand, and Bai Lishi tied his mount one after another, and only Guo Jia rode his horse to Sun Ce. He turned over and dismounted, and almost fell to the ground. Sun Ce hurriedly supported him. Guo Jia stood up with Sun Ce's arm and opened his mouth.
