Gan Ning's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said, "This thing should be done, a good thing." Then he asked: "I can only provide silkworm cocoons for Yizhou in front of me, but what is the prospect of Yizhou's Shu brocade industry, and whether you understand it." ”

Liu Cong replied: "In the past, Yizhou brocade business has been cooperating with Jingzhou, Jingzhou provides silkworm cocoons, and Yizhou reels silk brocade by itself.

Later, Jingzhou Jiangbei was warned for many years, and the mulberry and silkworm breeding business was destroyed, so there was no cooperation for many years, so I had to develop mulberry and silkworm cultivation by myself.

This year, Yizhou Shu brocade sales are very good, and the silk produced is difficult to meet the needs of brocade, so I came to negotiate cooperation.

This one?????? In my opinion, the silkworm reeling thing in Jingzhou should be carried out, and the prospects are promising.

Of course, you can't completely rely on others, so I plan to start planting mulberry and silkworm breeding, and at the same time send people to Yizhou to learn silk reeling brocade technology, one is to weave their own brocade in the future, and the other is to prevent future changes in Yizhou, which will not make our sericulture business die halfway. ”

Gan Ning is a person who has done great things, after listening to Liu Cong's analysis, he felt that although Liu Cong was young, he was thoughtful, and he admired it very much, and considering that Liu Cong was opening a reclamation of Tuntian in Jingzhou, he knew that it was not easy to reclaim Tuntian, but he didn't know what means Liu Cong used to carry out the work, and he could persuade Liu Bei Guan Yu These heroes in the world to follow him to do things, thinking about it, he asked: "In governance, it is not easy to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, and it is even more difficult to reclaim Tuntian, how do you start the matter of Tuntian." ”

Liu Cong didn't answer from the front, and said with a smile: "Things in the world are not easy to do, but people are doing it.

Just like you, Gan Zhuangshi, is it easy for you to make a living in this business, if I were to do it, I wouldn't be able to do it at all, but if you do it, it means that you have the ability to do this.

Compared to you, I don't have the ability of you.

It is not easy to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, but a few years ago Jingzhou did this, and it was done well, which shows that it is not difficult to raise silkworms and sell silkworm cocoons.

What is beneficial to the country and the people will definitely get the response and support of the people, this is the premise, with this premise, everything will be done, you say yes. ”

Gan Ning nodded and agreed,

Liu Cong said again: "Cao Cao succeeded in Tuntian back then, can't we succeed in Tuntian?

Some people say that Tuntian needs three conditions, labor, land, and means of production, and these three conditions are indispensable.

They analyzed that Cao Cao had these three conditions when he succeeded in Tuntian, and we in Jingzhou now do not have them, so we can't Tuntian, and they also analyzed in detail that the labor force must be displaced people who have nothing; The land is abandoned land that has not had an owner for many years; The means of production include many more, ready-made ploughing oxen, ploughs and harrows, yards for collecting grain, warehouses for storing grain, wooden shovels and dustpans, etc.

These people said that Jingzhou is now in Tuntian, and there is no one of these three conditions, how can Tuntian,

However, after ten days of investigation, I found that these three problems could be solved, so I insisted on Tuntian's proposition.

Tuntian first started in Xinye, and now the whole Jingzhou has been in full swing, and the situation is very good. ”

Gan Ning thought in his heart when he heard this: "Tuntian is a big thing, if it succeeds, in a few years, Jingzhou will have abundant grain and grass, and at that time, it will gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou's thousands of miles of territory, and whoever dares to come over to compete in the world, Cao Cao can only look at Jiang and sigh." ”

Gan Ning then thought: "Liu Cong thought that I should lead the troops to escort the ship into Xichuan to transport grain, and this matter is incumbent.

However, at this time, Liu Cong must still have doubts in his heart, but a person like him who does great things will not easily reveal his emotions, besides, this kind of doubt is not only Liu Cong, but also all the officials in the Jingzhou Yamen.

Isn't it, gently entrusting a major event related to Jingzhou's future to a ** leader, so that no one can rest assured.

No, since Liu Cong looks at me like this, and he is such a capable person, he is the master I want to defect to, I will treat each other with sincerity and show my heart and heart.

Only in this way can we gain the trust of the master and be recognized by the officials of Jingzhou.

Yes, just do it. ”

Gan Ning thought of this, so he said: "Zhizhong, go to Yizhou to transport grain, now is the dry season, the water flow on the river is stable, it is a good time for shipping, if the spring water is sudden, the river water rises sharply, needless to say I, even the skilled captain does not dare to sail, this thing can be done, if the lord trusts me, Gan Ning is duty-bound." ”

When Liu Cong heard this, he stood up and said happily: "Then it's decided, Gan Zhuangshi, three days later, the cargo ship to Yizhou will depart on time, you can prepare, and then escort the ship to the west.

Well, within these two days, Gan Zhuangshi has to go back to arrange things at home, the matter is urgent, I won't delay your time,

This, when it is time to set sail, I should send off the wine for Gan Zhuangshi, haha. ”

Gan Ning made a decision when he saw Liu Cong like this, and thought: "Doing things so simply and happily, he is really a person who does big things, but is there any sloppiness, my name has not been determined, and now he is still a ** leader, he dares to entrust things to me, such a character is really rare." ”

Gan Ning has always been resolute and unruly in doing things by himself, and he can't imagine that Liu Cong is more open-minded than him.

Having said this, Gan Ning consciously became a little shorter than Liu Cong in terms of momentum, since he was a little shorter, Gan Ning was cautious about things, still sat still, looked up at Liu Cong and said: "In the middle of governance, there is still something to say below." ”

Liu Cong glanced down at him and said with a smile: "Okay, good, Gan Zhuangshi has something to say, I'm listening here." ”

"Then I said that the lord wants to escort the ship to transport grain, but his identity is uncertain, and he really does things, and who will take the crew with him obey the command."

"Haha, I've already considered this matter for you, and on the day I set sail, I will announce in public, appoint you as the captain of Jingzhou Yamen Shipping, and the letter of appointment will be issued in public.

Two hundred capable sailors of your choice are ready to obey your orders,

Well, also, when you go out, if your name is not right, the yamen gives you the power of life and death, and you can decide to deal with it yourself. ”

Gan Ning was relieved when he heard this, paused for a while and said: "In this way, I will officially receive the order, but since I have been appointed as a shipping captain, I will only be in charge of shipping affairs, and act within the scope of my authority, and if there is a mistake, I will be willing to be punished, and I will never ask about matters outside the scope of my authority." ”

Liu Cong rolled his eyelids and thought for a moment when he heard this: "Of course, as for other matters negotiated with the Yizhou Yamen, I will arrange for other officials to accompany me on the same boat, and Gan Zhuangshi doesn't have to worry too much." ”057
