Chapter 290: The easy-going Gan Ning
Liaodong, late at night in Jinjin, Gan Ning secretly came to Liangmao Mansion again.
"Oh? So Gongsun Du already wants to agree to Antonjin's matter, and the 'reserve price' is all the goods I brought this time? Gan Ning raised his eyebrows slightly.
That's what he said, but ...... Gongsun didn't really trust me, but I was afraid that I had other ideas, and Gongsun Kang's expression at that time made me feel a little fierce. Liang Mao said unconvinced.
It is true that Gongsun Kang superficially echoed his father before, but ...... But I thought in my heart, and then I would find his brother-in-law to "sing double reeds"!
His "brother-in-law" naturally refers to the current lord of Baekje, the leader of the nobles who went south in Buyeo.
When Anton Jinjian was almost done, he asked his brother-in-law to copy it, took away his belongings, and led his troops to help.
You can't make the General's Mansion give up Andong Jin at one time, but you have to harvest it a few more times to let them know that Liaodong is surnamed Gongsun!
As for the naval army of the General's Palace, docking in Andongjin, will it threaten the security of Liaodong?
Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang didn't think about this at all, after all, they were just some water armies, and they ...... Hanging alone, in addition to Andong Jin, the nearest supply point is in the distant state of Hu.
There is no danger to defend, there is no way to retreat, and if you lose, you can only run thousands of miles away by boat, what is there to be afraid of this kind of "garrison"?
"Fierce looks? Oh, good...... Let's see tomorrow who is more fierce! Gan Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, flowing with a fierce light.
Liang Mao listened to Gan Ning's tone, and wanted to persuade him with some uneasiness, but because he was not familiar with it, he didn't know how to speak.
"Liang Taishou rest assured, you are the official post of the imperial court, although the court can't take care of you, but Bai Gong will not forget you, if Liang Taishou has a heart, you can return to Jinling with me and meet my lord later." Gan Ning quickly changed his face and comforted.
"No, Gongsun Du won't let me go easily, if I leave quietly, my family in Xiangping is only afraid that I will be poisoned!" Liang Mao said immediately.
As for Gan Ning's disparagement of the imperial court in his words, as well as the vague remarks about placing Bai Tu above the imperial court, Liang Mao just didn't hear it.
Liang Mao obviously doesn't have any heroic temperament, nor does he have Jia Xu's ruthlessness, which is also the most normal reaction.
Everyone is like Jia Xu, so there is no need for protons to exist......
It is precisely because Liang Mao is just an ordinary person who will take care of his family that Gongsun Du is at ease with him, and even Liang Mao usually works in Yujin, so Gan Ning can see him in advance!
"Then Liang Taishou will stay for the useful body first, and when the General's Mansion has a firm foothold in Liaodong, he will find an opportunity to directly ask Gongsun Du for Liang Taishou's family."
In history, Liang Mao was also "asked" by Cao Cao to serve in the court after Gongsun Kang beheaded his Yuan brothers and defected to Cao Cao, and Gongsun Kang did not force him to stay.
Gan Ning's words are good, but ...... The appearance of a wicked and crazy smile always on the corner of the mouth is always unpleasant to look at, and even inherently reduces its credibility!
However, Liang Mao can only choose to believe it now, and at the same time carefully recounted the reactions of Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang after Gan Ning left.
……
The night passed.
Yesterday was nominally a matter of catching the wind and washing the dust, and today is the time to get down to business.
But even if he was talking about business, Gan Ning was still open-chested, after all, he was in the middle hall of the General's Mansion, and he was dressed like this.
With the steps of not recognizing the six relatives, he came to the middle hall of the government office of the Jinjin Mansion again, and saw the father and son of Gongsun, as well as Yangyi, Liu Yi and other important ministers of Liaodong.
Gongsun Du first avoided the topic of Andong Jin and talked directly about the transaction, but ...... After talking about three or five sentences, Gan Ning said directly: "The goods have been brought this time, and General Gongsun will make an offer, as for the future...... Hey! Who knows how much grain, weapons and horses will be able to be sold in Liaodong in the future? No matter how much we discuss now, won't we have to talk about the price next time? ”
Gongsun Du's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then asked tentatively: "I don't know how many horses the General's Mansion is going to exchange for?" ”
"The first time I did business, everyone was more generous, and I didn't bargain...... 5,000 good horses and 5,000 horses! Gan Ning waved his hand.
Gongsun Du: ......
Atmospheric? No bargaining?
Nonsense! It's just that you're shameless at the price, what price do you still have?
"That's a lot of money, isn't it? And...... It is not easy to transport horses, and I am afraid that most of the casualties will be killed or injured at sea, so I think it is better to trade war horses directly, and our war horse training technology in Liaodong must be much higher than that of Yangzhou. Gongsun Du said quietly.
Good horses and horses refer to real "horses", and Gongsun Du wants to trade the "war horses" after training in the future, not for the sake of civilian horses after extracting horsepower, which is a small profit, but does not want to leak the horse breed, so as not to start herding horses himself!
Although in Gongsun Du's impression, even if he has not been to Yangzhou, he knows that Yangzhou is not conducive to horse grazing - either in an agricultural area, or in a mountainous area or a place with complex water veins...... But it's still instinctive to guard against it.
What's more, it also involves the problem of Cheng Ji's "science and technology tree", the Cheng Ji of Youzhou, the training technology of war horses is far stronger than that of Yangzhou Cheng Ji, even if there is Yangzhou Cheng Ji after Lu Bu and others are promoted, they are still weak in this regard, because there are too few opportunities to train war horses.
There are more horse breeds, and I'm afraid that Bai Tu can also point out the training skills.
"It's okay, if General Gongsun is afraid that I will suffer, give me more and leave room for casualties, wouldn't it be good? Hahaha. Gan Ning said that the problem was easy to solve.
Gongsun Du: ......
Why don't you die? Which ear do you hear that I am "afraid that you will suffer"?
"Hehe, Gandudu said with a smile...... The war horse is still a good horse, not to mention, Antonjin's matter ......" Gongsun Du was so angry that he turned the topic back to the point.
"Oh, Tsuzu! The general has thought about it? After Gan Ning finished speaking, he showed an expression of "there seems to be something wrong", which was very realistic.
Gongsun Du: ......
"Huh? General Gongsun just said Andong Jin? Did I talk about Andong Jin yesterday? Gan Ning asked first.
"Not bad." Gongsun Du's expression was already a little twitching.
"Hahaha, it seems to be the liquor of Liaodong, but what I want to say is actually Yujin." Gan Ning shook his head and smiled.
But Gongsun Du obviously didn't think it was funny......
Xiangjin is equivalent to Lushunkou in later generations, Andongjin is equivalent to Donggang in later generations, and Xiangping, the base camp of Liaodong, is Liaoyang in later generations.
The three are like a triangle, in terms of straight-line distance, in fact, Antonjin is closer to Xiangping, and if you take the high-speed rail, the time between the two is about the same......
However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this "distance" can not be calculated in this way, between Andongjin and Xiangping, is separated by the remaining veins of Changbai Mountain, although it is already the remaining veins, far from being coherent and steep, the highest is a few hundred meters above sea level, and if you are willing to walk the mountain pass, it is not impossible to get around, and it is not a difficult to repair section by blowing up the mountain and opening the road by modern means.
But...... If you march in the Eastern Han Dynasty, you can only bypass, that is, go around the remaining veins of Changbai Mountain to the area of Yujin and then go north.
This is also why, Gan Ning wanted to land in Yujin at the beginning, and did not wait for Gongsun Du in Andongjin.
If the navy is docked in Andongjin, Gongsun Du has nothing to worry about, but it is in Tsujin......
It's not a worry, but it's much more sensitive than Antonjin!
"Does Gandudu have to ask the lion to open his mouth?" Gongsun Du said coldly.
"No, I just think it's more convenient to trade directly in Yuanjin." Convenience with others and convenience with myself has always been my purpose, and I am ...... Very accommodating! The corners of Gan Ning's mouth pursed into an evil and crazy smile again.
Gongsun Du was annoyed in his heart, but on the other hand, he dispelled his doubts - it seems that Liang Mao and Gan Ning should not have been in private contact......
