Thinking of this, Gan Ning immediately made a decision, looked up and said to the two Jingzhou soldiers: "Two military masters, Liu Zhizhong said in the letter that he wanted me to choose a meeting place, then I will not be polite.

The two of you went back to tell Master Liu Zhizhong, and said that I, Gan Ning, was at Luo Changshan's house in Luoguowan Village, and that Master Liu Zhizhong was here. ”

The two soldiers looked at each other a few times after hearing this, and one of them asked: "This good man, the two of us are here to deliver a letter to you on behalf of General Wei Yan, and when General Wei is leaving, please choose a good address, and make an appointment, and then let us bring a message back to convey it, and there is another point, General Wei Yan repeatedly told you that you are asked to make sure that the date time should not exceed two days, if it is two days, it will delay the big things in the yamen." ”

Gan Ning said: "This is easy to do, the location is set here, the time, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will live here without leaving for two days, specially to welcome the arrival of Master Liu Zhizhong, please convey this after the two military masters go back." ”

Gan Ning felt a little uneasy when he said this, so he instructed a personal bodyguard beside Ding Baishun: "Uncover the package, give the big money inside to the two military masters, and send a letter to me Gan Ning when it's dark." ”

The bodyguards complied, the two Jingzhou soldiers resigned again and again, Gan Ning insisted on sending each other, and the two guys happily put a bag of five baht in their arms, nodded and left,

Ding Baishun saw it behind and said in surprise: "My God, the master is so generous, if this bag of money is rewarded to me, it will be enough for my family to drink an old snack for a year." ”

??????

Liu Cong really came, only brought Liang Zhu'er and Ma Zhu'er, and didn't bring the fat man, and it was noon the next day when he came.

It turned out that after the two Jingzhou soldiers who delivered the letter got Gan Ning's big money, they forwarded the message to Liu Cong in the dark overnight.

At that time, Liu Cong was sleeping, it was just dawn, and he hadn't gotten up yet.

Hearing Wei Yan whispering outside the window, Liu Cong knew from Wei Yan's tone that something good was coming, turned over and got out of bed, greeted him barefoot, opened the door and stretched out his head and asked, "General Wei, how are things going." ”

"Lord, Gan Ning replied."

"Bring it to me."

"It's a reply message, for the soldiers to convey."

"Where are the two soldiers?" Wei Yan heard this, and hurriedly turned around and greeted: "Don't come over and report to the lord soon." ”

Two soldiers who had stopped in the distance rushed over,

Liu Cong hurriedly dodged into the house, and ordered: "Come in quickly and talk." ”

After entering the house, Liu Cong asked, "You two have seen Gan Ning." ”

"Yes, my lord."

"Where does he live now?"

"Lord, not far away, in Luoguowan Village on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River, waiting for you to come over and speak." Then the soldier said what Gan Ning conveyed to Liu Cong,

When Liu Cong heard this, he hurriedly instructed Liang Zhu'er: "Eat immediately, and go to Luoguo Bay immediately after eating." ”

Liang Zhu'er went out to arrange breakfast, Liu Cong asked about Gan Ning's situation while freshening up, and when breakfast was delivered, Liu Cong instructed the two soldiers: "You two eat here with me, and after eating, lead the way and go to Luoguo Bay together." ”

Liu Cong hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food here, put down the bowl and chopsticks and went out of the post gate, came to the river to cross the Xiangjiang River, and hurriedly walked to Tian'eryu, and finally on the bank of the Xiangjiang River at the head of Luoguowan Village, he saw Luo Changleg standing there waiting,

So I came to his house and saw Gan Ning,

Originally, after Liu Cong listened to the introduction of others, he had already formed an impression of Gan Ning in his heart, knowing that he was brave by nature, chivalrous and righteous, and decisive, and knew that he was good at dressing.

At this time, when I saw Gan Ning, dressed as a fisherman, I almost couldn't believe it,

But as soon as they met, Gan Ning clasped his hands into fists and bowed down, and said humbly: "Grass people Gan Ning Gan Xingba is here to wait for Liu Zhizhong Master Liu." ”

Liu Cong felt that this person was Gan Ning, and it would definitely not be fake.

Liu Cong hurriedly returned the salute, and then came over and took Gan Ning's hand and said: "I have admired the name of a strong man for a long time, like thunder, and I am fortunate to meet today, which is really a blessing for three lives." Then the two wanted each other, and went into the house to sit down and talk.

Liu Cong asked Gan Ning about his journey when he came, but he just greeted him, observing Gan Ning's actions while talking.

Gan Ning was anxious here, and asked directly: "What are the instructions for summoning Gan Ning in the middle of the governance?" ”

Liu Cong saw Gan Ning speaking bluntly, so he smiled and said: "When I first took over the great task of governing Jingzhou, I was unwilling to watch Jingzhou go down day by day, thinking about making a difference and revitalizing Jingzhou's old heroes, one is to protect the millions of Li people in Jingzhou from being killed by Cao Cao after three years, and the other is to exterminate Cao Cao Kuangfu Han family.

It's a pity that Zhigao is shallow and has achieved nothing so far,

Fortunately, the Yizhou Yamen did not think that Jingzhou was incompetent, and sent Cui Jin, an official of the Sericulture Department, to negotiate cooperation matters and discuss the re-establishment of the sericulture business of the Jingzhou Yamen.

I felt that this was feasible, so I signed a contract with Cui Jin, and the contract stipulated that from next year, a number of silkworm cocoons would be provided to Yizhou every year.

However, after years of scuffle, Jingzhou wants to re-establish the sericulture business, which has neither manpower nor funds.

Fortunately, God wants to wish Jingzhou to do this, and it happens that hundreds of thousands of refugees came from the north, and I mobilized the refugees to raise silkworms.

At present, all the conditions for silkworm raising are basically in place, the old mulberry fields are still there, and the silkworm breeders are also there, that is, these hundreds of thousands of refugees, silkworm breeding sites are under construction, as for the tools and technologies for silkworm raising, they can be solved slowly.

If we want to leave the refugees to grow mulberry and raise silkworms, we must provide the refugees with a year's worth of food, but the reserve grain in the yamen can only supply the refugees for 20 days.

There was no way, so I discussed with Cui Jin, the envoy of Yizhou, and asked the Yizhou Yamen to exchange the advance payment for silkworm raising into grain and send it to help.

The matter was settled like this, but if you want to go to Yizhou to transport grain, you are going against the water, the water is turbulent, the reefs are dense, and there are many disasters along the river. ”

When Liu Cong said **, he consciously lost his words, and hurriedly looked at Gan Ning, only to see that Gan Ning was still engrossed in bowing his head and obedient, and did not react at all, so he continued: "The mountain is high and the road is far away, I really don't worry, if the success of this grain transportation is directly related to the success of Jingzhou's sericulture business, so I asked Gan Zhuangshi to come over to discuss, and asked Gan Zhuangshi to recommend a few good sailors to the yamen, escort the ship to Yizhou to transport grain, I don't know if Gan Zhuangshi is willing to help Jingzhou with this." ”

Gan Ning lowered his head and thought about it when he heard this, and raised his head and asked: "Dare to ask Zhizhong, how much income will there be after the establishment of silkworm breeding in Jingzhou." ”

"I estimate that if only Yizhou is provided with silkworm cocoons, it can increase the fiscal revenue by 40% every year, and if the silkworm cocoons are provided to Yizhou, it can be increased by 60%, and if the silk brocade is sold by itself, the annual financial income of Jingzhou Yamen can be doubled." 056
