Gan Ning defected to Liu Biao at the beginning, under the command of Huang Zu, and repeatedly made military exploits but was never reused.

Pang Tong received Tian Feng's letter and decided to write a letter to Gan Ning before coming to Taiyuan.

In the letter, he informed that Yuan Xu recruited heroes in Taiyuan, because there was no available person under him, but if he was willing to vote, he would have to be reused.

has known Pang Tong for a long time, and Gan Ning has always believed in him.

After receiving the letter, he didn't think about it, so he hung the official seal on the beam in front of the hall and rushed to Taiyuan with more than 1,000 relatives.

Before meeting Yuan Xu, Gan Ning was not sure if he could be reused.

There have been a lot of rumors about Yuan Xu recently, but none of them are related to employment.

When he arrived in Taiyuan, Gan Ning made trouble at the city gate, just to test Yuan Xu's mind and sincerity in employing people.

After telling the whole process of coming to Taiyuan from Nanyang, Gan Ning bowed to Yuan Xu: "Messing around at the city gate, injuring the general under the command of Gongzi, please surrender!" ”

"What sin?" Yuan Xu said with a smile: "That Xia Zhao, if you don't beat him, I will beat him sooner or later." ”

Gan Ning looked confused, looked at Yuan Xu blankly, and then looked at Tian Feng, Pang Tong and others.

"Xingba doesn't know yet." Pang Tong said: "The person named Xia Zhao who was beaten by you is a subordinate of Shi Gaogan. He came to Taiyuan, but he didn't have any good intentions. ”

Pang Tong recounted the whole process that Yuan Xu told him.

Gan Ning's brows furrowed when he heard this: "I knew that there was such a section, and I just broke his neck just now." ”

"It's a good thing Xingba didn't do that." Yuan Xu said: "Cao Cao is going to send troops to fight against the Yuan family, and I will also raise troops soon, so I can't offend Gao Gan at this time." Besides, he brought ordnance over, and we killed his men, so we can't justify it. ”

"When Childe wants to kill him, say hello." Gan Ning said indignantly: "I'll do it." ”

"When it's time to start, I won't let Xingba sit idle." Yuan Xu looked at Deng Zhan: "Mr. Deng will come back to me, select some elite soldiers, and you will personally teach swordsmanship and cultivate swordsmen in the army." As for the army, Xingba is here, just leave it to him to command. ”

Deng Zhan agreed, but Gan Ning was taken aback.

He was under Huang Zu and was never welcomed.

Even if he made a great achievement, he was only praised a few words lightly, and there was no follow-up.

When he arrived in Taiyuan, Yuan Xu actually handed over the army to him to command.

This trust, he himself felt that he couldn't afford it: "Gongzi is willing to entrust the army, I shouldn't have shirked." It's just that I arrived in Taiyuan, and I haven't made an inch......"

"Isn't it easy to make meritorious contributions?" Yuan Xu interrupted him: "I will go into battle soon, and then there will be a chance for Xingba to perform." ”

Gan Ning was told that he didn't know how to answer.

He looked at Pang Tong for help.

Pang Tong stepped forward with a smile: "I just arrived in Taiyuan, and Gongzi was appointed as a military advisor." Xingba doesn't need to shirk, the grace of knowing the encounter, and then report it on the battlefield! ”

"I see." Gan Ning bowed to Yuan Xu and made a big salute: "From now on, I will do my best!" ”

Within one day, Yuan Xu successively got Pang Tong and Gan Ning, and he was in a good mood.

instructed Deng Zhan to arrange a house for the two of them and then transfer the military power to Gan Ning, and he left Tian Feng behind.

"Congratulations to Childe on his talent." Tian Feng congratulated Yuan Xu.

"It's not all your fault." Yuan Xu said: "If you hadn't written a letter to Pang Shiyuan, how could he and Gan Xingba come to Taiyuan?" ”

"With Gan Xingba, Gongzi no longer has to worry about the lack of a main general on the expedition." Tian Feng said: "Dealing with Cao Cao, there are a few more chances of winning." ”

"After I lead the troops to the battle, Taiyuan can't be left behind." Yuan Xu asked, "How about you staying in Taiyuan?" ”

"I will guard the back of my son." Tian Feng took a sip.

"How long will it take for the grain to be harvested?" Yuan Xu asked about the farmland again.

"It won't be long before the harvest is ready." Tian Feng replied: "Now that the rice ears in the rice field are full, there will definitely be a good harvest this year." ”

"Take me to the farm." Yuan Xu stood up.

Tian Feng asked, "Do you want to call Mr. Deng?" ”

"He is busy taking care of Pang Shiyuan and Gan Xingba, and he will hand over the military power later." Yuan Xu replied: "Don't call him." ”

Tian Feng agreed and followed him out of the study.

The two of them only took more than a dozen guards and left Jinyang City.

After leaving the city, they went straight to the farmland.

The fields that were barren at the beginning have been turned over and cultivated by farmers, and there are ears of rice as far as the eye can see.

The yellowed rice hung heavily on the poles.

The wind blows, and the rice is like a yellow and green wave, surging one after another.

"What do you estimate to be per acre?" In Ma Tianbian, Yuan Xu asked Tian Feng.

Tian Feng replied: "The yield per mu is twice as much as the previous corn. ”

"If there were only that, I wouldn't have to go to great lengths to get hybrid rice seeds." Yuan Xu said: "Keep an eye on it, every household has threshed millet, and they have to report the yield." ”

"I understand." Tian Feng should go down.

Yuan Xu continued to move forward accompanied by him.

After walking a short distance, I saw a field again.

Compared with the rice fields he passed by, Yuan Xu found that although the crops here grew densely, there were not many ears of grain.

"What's going on here?" He asked Tian Feng.

"When the rice seeds were distributed, many farmers couldn't believe it, so they didn't go to the government to collect them." Tian Feng replied: "Later, they wanted to get it, but the rice seeds were gone. ”

"Opportunities don't wait for anyone, and if you miss it, you can only watch others harvest." Yuan Xu said: "Tell the farmers who grow hybrid rice to let them keep the rice seeds and sell them to those who have not received them. From now on, I will not provide rice seeds. ”

"It's been announced for a long time." Tian Feng replied: "There is something I have always wanted to ask my son. ”

"You say."

"When the harvest comes, do you want farmers to replace their livestock with grain, or do they want them to pay directly?" Tian Feng asked.

"Grain is exchanged for money, and from it it is exploited by merchants." Yuan Xu replied: "We don't care if the farmers exchange for other things. The livestock distributed by the government can be converted into grain. ”

As he walked forward, he explained: "Farmers who have not received rice seeds can also go to the government to collect livestock as long as they buy seeds for new crops." When the next year's harvest is harvested, you can also use grain to cover the account. Cattle and donkeys are allowed to be traded in Taiyuan, but they are absolutely not allowed to be slaughtered and sold outside Taiyuan. ”

"Allowed to trade?" Tian Feng asked: "If the farmer sells his cattle or donkeys, what will happen to the fields in the future?" ”

"A cow can give birth to a calf." Yuan Xu asked: "Do you have to keep it and not allow it to be sold?" ”

"I see." Tian Feng replied: "What Gongzi explained, I will implement it one by one." ”

"Cao Cao is going to send troops, I'm afraid I won't see the scene of this year's Taiyuan harvest." Yuan Xu said: "When the next harvest comes, I hope to celebrate with the people." ”

"The people also hope that Gongzi can witness it with his own eyes." Tian Feng said: "If it weren't for Gongzi, I don't know how many years they would be hungry." ”
