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 carriages, but also to order a large number of ordnance - it didn't matter if there was no stock, you could pay a deposit in advance. If Sun Ce needed it, he could pay for part of the payment with grain. He also told Jiang Gan that Yuan Tan admired Sun Ce very much, and originally wanted to meet Sun Ce, but the military situation was urgent, and he wanted to rush to Dongjun to stop the Black Mountain thieves, so he could only ask him to pay tribute on his behalf.

Lu Cui ran back and forth several times, and he had already been targeted by Jiang Gan, and he also sent the news back to Xu County in time. Seeing this order at this moment, Jiang Gan's heart fell to the ground with a big stone, and he agreed with a smile happily. Sun Ce owed a lot of debts, and someone was willing to do business with him, and 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 refusal to sell weapons to Yuan Tan. In return, he also gave Jiang Gan an order, although it was not as big as Yuan Tan, but it was enough to show his sincerity. Knowing that Sun Ce was short of food now, he specially raised 50,000 stone grains as a deposit, and asked Jiang Gan to bring it to Sun Ce to solve his urgent needs.

Jiang Gan returned with a full load.

Seeing the long convoy, Sun Ce smiled happily without listening to Jiang Gan's report. When he saw those two orders, he was even more ecstatic. With these two large orders, the relevant workshops in Nanyang do not have to worry about sales in a short time. The difficulty in developing industry and commerce is not only technological development, but also the market, the larger the market, the more stamina for development, otherwise inflation will soon occur.

But Sun Ce didn't know why Yuan Tan had such a big change. He knew that Yuan Shao later had a faint trick of abolishing Chang Liyu, but now that the Long March of 10,000 miles has not yet reached the halfway point, Yuan Shao should not be so optimistic. Moreover, in history, before Yuan Shao died, he asked his two sons and a nephew to each have a state, and it was clear that he wanted to abolish Chang Liyu, but Yuan Tan didn't dare to squeak, and now it is even more impossible.

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 him to accept Yuan Tan's deposit. Don't be a fool if you have money. Don't talk about tens of millions of money, tens of thousands of stone grains, if you send a mountain of gold and grain, I dare to accept it.

With these two orders, not only the grain of the Tuntian soldiers in Xuxian County has been solved, but the safety of the northern line of Yuzhou has also been temporarily guaranteed, and they can develop to the south wholeheartedly. Sun Ce was in a good mood, and Pang Shanmin accompanied him to Yangzhai to inspect the northwest defense of Yingchuan. Good things come in pairs, and news came from Yangzhai Junxue, saying that Sima Hui received a message from Pang Shanmin and was willing to meet with Sun Ce.

"General, do you want to go to the high yang of Yingyin to have a look?" Pang Shanmin proposed.

Sun Ce looked at Pang Shanmin, laughed, and then shook his head again. "Don't go!" After a while, he said meaningfully: "There are still people in Gaoyang, this is quite unexpected." Didn't their family all move to Hebei? ”

Xun Yu went to Chang'an, but his brothers Xun Yan and Xun Chen were still in Yecheng, and they made it clear that they wanted to bet in many ways, in this case, it would be boring for him to come to the door, so it was better to do his own thing with peace of mind. When he is strong, the Xun family will naturally come. Xun You ate and drank in Wancheng, neither did he work, nor did he leave, his attitude was ambiguous, and it may be this idea to fight.

When he was in Xu County, he did not go to worship Chen Yu, nor did he meet anyone from the Chen family. Now that he has passed through Yingyin, he doesn't want to meet the Xun family, and he really has no interest in the so-called Yingchuan Sichang. It's useless to be interested, people are not interested in him, so it's useless. With this time, it is better to spend some time on self-reliance.

Pang Shanmin said: "The Xun clan is strong in Yingyin, with a strong clan and a large population. Although most of them went to Hebei, some people were reluctant to leave. There is a reclusive study named Xun Yue, who did not go to Hebei. After Yingchuan settled down, he returned to Gaoyangli. ”

Sun Ce knew Xun Yue, who was the representative of the Xun family's learning. After the Xun family is known as Xunzi, it is actually a strong township and a very average scholar, starting from Xun Shu to accumulate fame, taking advantage of the spring breeze of the party's clear discussion, plus the children and grandchildren have a future, several talents have been produced one after another, and they are in a high position, which has gone all the way. Among the Xun children who are known for their learning, Xun Shuang is the first, and Xun Yue is the second. Xun Yue has a political treatise "Shen Jian" handed down, but the level is really not very good, not to mention that it is not as good as his predecessor Wang Fu, and it cannot be compared with Zhong Changtong and Xu Gan of the same era.

"Brother Shanmin, Ruying is the base camp of the party. The party members are more than passionate, but not rational, and even talented people like Li Ying will inevitably kill innocents indiscriminately, let alone them. Such a person is not suitable to be an official, otherwise you, the Yingchuan Taishou, can only sit and roar. ”

Pang Shanmin sighed: "What the general said is very true. ”

Seeing that Pang Shanmin's face was difficult, Sun Ce became vigilant. "Someone can't be idle again?"

"Not yet. As soon as Yingchuan was hit by military disasters, the villagers were scattered, and the party members were no exception, or in Chang'an, or in Yecheng, there were not many people left in Yingchuan; Second, the general sat in Yuzhou, and the rectification of Xu Zi was effective, and they did not dare to be presumptuous. It's just that the party's habit of discussing politics is still there, and given the time, a resurgence is expected. ”

Sun Ce sneered: "The soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, what is there to worry about." He paused, and then said: "Brother Shanmin, things must be opposed, although the disaster of the party is initiated by the eunuchs, but the party members themselves are also responsible, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they take the blame for themselves." I know that Yingchuan is too stubborn to do, you are under a lot of pressure, but everything has a process, if you persist for a period of time, at most three or five years, the pressure will be less. ”

Pang Shanmin nodded, the expression on his face was still heavy. Sun Ce saw it in his eyes, thought for a moment, and chuckled: "Brother Shanmin, I heard that Runan and Yingchuan have always been known as difficult to govern, and they are also the most valued by the imperial court. Generally speaking, if you can be competent in Runan and Yingchuan, the next step is either Henan Yin or Jiuqing, you have to seize the opportunity. ”

"General, don't worry, even if Yingchuan is difficult to treat, I will do my best to not let the general have any worries. Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, I dare not think about it. ”

Sun Ce quipped: "There is still a dream, in case it comes true." ”

Pang Shanmin couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Talking to a general is always relieving. Well, since the general said so, I also shook my spirits and took advantage of the general's arrogance and courage to think about it. In fact, with my Pang family's family background, it is rare for me to be able to do Yingchuan Taishou now, and it is not a big deal to think about it again, who can laugh at me, who dares to laugh at me? ”

Sun Ce patted Pang Shanmin on the shoulder. "That's right, people don't take teenagers lightly, think about what to be afraid of, it doesn't matter if you achieve it or not, the important thing is whether you have worked hard. Hey, who is that, why is it in such a hurry? ”

Pang Shanmin also put away his smile and looked into the distance.

On the gallop road, dozens of horses came galloping, smoke and dust billowing out. When he got closer, he saw those white swords and dangling spear tassels, Sun Ce recognized that this was the white silk led by Chen Zhi, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

After a while, Bai Yu Shi rushed to Sun Ce, Chen Zhi raised his hand, Bai Yu Shi reined in his mount one after another, and only Guo Jia rode his horse to Sun Ce. He rolled over and dismounted, stumbling, and almost fell to the ground. Sun Ce hurriedly held on. Guo Jia stood up straight with Sun Ce's arm open.

"Water, give it to me...... A sip of water. ”
