Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1241 Gan Ning's job description

Jiangdong is also a place where grain is produced, and there are civil strife in the Central Plains, and the war has continued for many years. On the contrary, Jiangdong has enjoyed peace for many years and has accumulated a lot of grain and grass.

Since its establishment, the Jiangdong Army has not only pacified Jiangdong, but also been able to fight abroad. It is because of the accumulation of Jiangdong over the years that it has abundant food and grass, which makes the Jiangdong Army strong.

But the repeated battles also consumed a lot of Jiangdong's background.

This time the flood was too fierce.

Jiangdong if disaster relief.

Food and grass must be insufficient.

But if there is no disaster relief, the people will lose their hearts, and if the hearts of the people are provoked, it will definitely cause turmoil.

"Borrow food!"

Sun Jian gritted his teeth and said.

"Borrowing money from aristocratic families?" Zhang Zhao shook his head and said in a low voice: "My lord, it's not right. If we borrow food from them and we move the city to Jianye, it will have no effect at all, and these people are not greedy enough. They are sure that the lion will speak loudly, and I am afraid that the Lord will be coerced by them!"

In this era, no matter which regime it is, it is actually struggling with the gentry.

The powerful family has too much influence.

Even Yuan Benchu ​​relied on Yuan's prestige to achieve his hegemony, but there were gains and losses. His regime was also controlled by aristocratic families, and there were many things that he could not control himself.

In history, Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao at Guandu, and perhaps it was because Yuan Shao couldn't control the situation in Hebei at all, which led to his defeat on the bank of the Yellow River.

Although Sun Jian put a lot of effort into the establishment of the Jiangdong regime, he seized the opportunity last year to get away from Wu County and build a new capital in Jianye, directly expanding the influence of the Wuhou Mansion and the influence of the aristocratic family. , leaving out more than half.

The transfer was all advocated by Sun Ce, which caused the confrontation between Sun Ce and the aristocratic family.

Now the relationship is still stiff.

The influence of Jiangdong's aristocratic family is somewhat deeper than that of Jingzhou and Yizhou. Sun Ce has been assassinated no less than three times in the past six months, but relying on his powerful martial arts, the incoming assassins were killed one by one.

Although there is no evidence.

But they all knew in their hearts that this was a lesson from the aristocratic family to Sun Ce.

It is conceivable that these aristocratic families are rampant.

"But I can't just watch our people being implicated by man-made disasters under natural disasters!" Sun Jian stood up with firm eyes: "I am in charge of Jiangdong, and I should consider the people and their survival. There is a price to pay, and I am willing to bow my head for it!"

"My lord is wise!"

Everyone stood up and bowed their heads in salute.

At this time, Sun Jian can put aside his dignity and bow his head to the aristocratic family, not only for the hearts of the people, but also for the benevolence. He can continue to fight with the aristocratic family, but the people who suffer in the end are those who have suffered disasters.

"My lord, let's put this matter down for now!"

Zhang Zhao raised his head, cupped his hands and said, "Even if we have to borrow food from them in the end, we can't let them be too arrogant. Before that, we can borrow food from outside!"

"where?"

"The imperial court!"

"Cao Cao?" Sun Jian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Cao Mengde's army in Xuzhou, can't wait to take down and eat a certain family at this time, and he will give us food at this time?"

"Whether Cao Cao is willing or not, I don't know, but the imperial court may not be unwilling. As long as the imperial court insists, Cao Cao must at least obey one or two points. He is not Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo is a common man in Xiliang. The imperial court does not respect His Majesty. No one It can be said, but if Cao Cao dared to be so blatant, he would not be able to control the court!"

Zhang Zhao analyzed.

"That makes sense!" Sun Jian nodded.

"In addition, the system of the Minghou Mansion is very partial to merchants, and the Minghou has a lot of protection for merchants. We can have people pretend to be caravans and go to the southwest to buy grain. As long as they don't buy in bulk, the accumulation will be more There is still a chance to send some food and grass back!"

Zhang Zhaodao.

"That's right!" Sun Jian has also studied the system of the Minghou Mansion, including the New Deal, the Scholars, Farmers, and Industry, and even he thinks it's right. After all, the rules have been passed down for thousands of years, but Minghou Mujing is obviously partial to business, which is true. In the territory of Minghou Mansion, business is thriving, caravans are everywhere, and the economy is developing rapidly. At the same time, it also gives many people the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. If spies from all walks of life want to enter the Southwest, they really don't need to be too troublesome.

"Someone will do it himself!"

Zhang Hong asked for orders.

"Then trouble Zi Gang!"

"For Jiangdong, we must go through fire and water!" Zhang Hong said, clasping his hands.

"In order for Jiangdong to survive this natural disaster, you are ruthless, and I will trouble you!"

Sun Jian stood up, bowed his hands to the crowd, and saluted. This salute was not for his own sake, but for the people of Jiangdong. He could represent all the people in Jiangdong.

................................................

The Minghou Mansion is also doing disaster relief, and the disaster in Jingzhou is not small, but the Minghou Mansion has enough food and grass, and the food roads are smooth, so it didn't cause too many problems.

Of course, there are also some unwilling people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to reverse the situation in Jingzhou, but not to mention the strengthening of the Six Doors, the transfer of the Violent Bear Army and the Changsha Army alone makes them dare not take any chances. The slightest movement.

Jingzhou's New Deal is still in progress.

The pioneers of the New Deal, Wei Ji, Xu Shu and others, gradually began to become famous throughout Jingzhou. They were hailed as minions of the New Party, and they were missed by many local gentry and wealthy families.

As for the gentry.

Although the gentry in Jingzhou did not agree with the New Deal very much, although they also had the heart to oppose the New Deal, they had already lost their chance at the beginning, and Cai Yong, the great Confucian of the time, was sitting in Jingzhou.

After Cai Yong came to Jingzhou, he lived in Lumen Mountain.

The reason why he lives in Lumen Mountain is because he likes the atmosphere here, and there are people who can talk to him here.

The morning sun shines on Lumen Mountain.

Lumen Mountain has always been a sacred place for scholars in Jingzhou. Not to mention a few great Confucian scholars, but students. Among the students, the person who can be admired is Xu Shu, the governor of Xiangzhou.

Young, only a few years old when he became an official, but he can be in charge of one side.

Moreover, Xu Shu was not a son of a well-known noble family, but he was just a ranger, an ordinary man. He studied in the academy for several years, and he has such ability, which should be admired by countless scholars.

Regardless of whether Xu Shu is now the pioneer of the New Deal or something else, his ability to achieve this position is a rare achievement in itself, which also makes Lumenshan Academy famous.

Moreover, from last year to this year, after Lumenshan was recommended, at least dozens of young people have the knowledge to successfully become an official. This has allowed many people to see opportunities, opportunities that lead to official careers.

Therefore, there are naturally more and more young students who want to worship Lumen Mountain.

The scale of Lumen Mountain is also getting bigger and bigger.

It was not easy to maintain.

But don't forget that Cai Yong is in charge of the Department of Education. With a swipe of his pen, the Department of Education included Lumenshan Academy and directly approved the money from the Department of Education.

This made Lumenshan Academy more prosperous.

The gazebo on the hillside is still very quiet here, usually only Sima Wei and the others can come here, and the students are not allowed to come up.

"During this period of time, thank you Brother De Cao for your hospitality. This old man has to leave. Come and say goodbye today!"

In the gazebo, Cai Yong toasted Sima Wei and Duke Pang De.

"Brother Bo Jie, why are you in such a hurry?"

Sima frowned slightly and asked softly.

When Cai Yong came to Jingzhou, he didn’t need to do anything. He only needs to sit in Jingzhou, which is a kind of deterrent, so he has been in Lumen Mountain. During this time, he and Cai Yong exchanged knowledge and learned a little, which has nothing to do with politics. He regards Cai Yong as a friend for many years.

"The floods are serious this year, and Jingzhou has already been hit by a disaster. There is an order from Zhaoming Pavilion, ordering me to inspect Jingzhou as the Minister of Disaster Relief. Mulongtu also issued a secret order that no one is allowed to starve to death. Food has already been sent from Yizhou!"

Cai Yong was not so nice to Mu Jing, even in Lumen Mountain, he didn't hesitate to call him by his first name, he said in a deep voice, "Whether it's an order from above, or for the order of Jingzhou and the people, The life and death of the old man has to go!"

Scholars put righteousness first.

The life and death of the people is always the biggest thing.

"Do you need my help in this matter?"

Sima Wei's eyes lit up slightly, and asked.

He had to admit that the Mu family ruled Jingzhou, whether it was the new policy or the old policy, at least they really cared about the people.

This alone is enough for him not to regret that he stood up and supported the Mu Clan's New Deal back then.

"Natural disasters are easy to cure, but people's hearts are hard to be at ease!"

Cai Yong cupped his hands and said: "I still have a way to deal with the disaster, but it's hard to appease the public. This matter still needs a lot of efforts from Brother De Cao. No matter what your position is, at least you can't let Jingzhou go into trouble at this time. It's harmful to everyone. Not good, is it!"

The New Deal did not get everyone's approval.

Even if Sima Wei and the others, including Cai Yong himself, were only supporting the New Deal from the standpoint of stabilizing the overall situation, no one was sure whether the New Deal would achieve peace or not.

Therefore, Cai Yong will not force Sima Wei and the others to support the New Deal, as long as they stabilize the overall situation, Jingzhou cannot be chaotic, and if it is chaotic, the people will suffer in the end.

"Brother Bojie, don't worry!"

Sima nodded slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I will personally visit some old friends. No matter what they want to do, at least don't let them do it at this time. Jingzhou can't be chaotic at this time!"

How many people secretly want to oppose Mujing.

He knew it.

He also knows how many great Confucian scholars have implemented the new policies that are right.

No matter what they are going to sit on.

At this time, Sima Wei had to press them directly, and he couldn't give them a chance. It was not for Minghou, but for Jingzhou. Under natural disasters, if people come back to live again, it will undoubtedly be a Yellow Turban riot.

The Yellow Turban riots have been going on for so long, and he knows exactly how much destruction it has created, how many people have been homeless, and how many people have lost their lives.

"Brother Bojie, is there anything I can do?"

Mr. Pang De considered for a while and asked.

"If Mr. De can agree with me, then it must not be difficult!" Cai Yong's reputation spreads all over the world. The great sages of the imperial court, the great Confucianists of the scholars, and the scholars all admire him, but on the three-acre land in Jingzhou, , he is not as good as Lord Pang De, even Sima Wei is not as good as him.

Lord Pang De is a nobleman.

It has to represent one side of power.

His influence in Jingzhou is absolutely deep-rooted.

"Row!"

Pang Degong pondered for a while, and agreed. He became a great Confucian, and everyone admired him. He is the spirit of a scholar. Unless he is a person who has earned a false name, he is not so narrow-minded. Even if Pang Ji died because of the herding army, But after all, it's over, and he can't keep hating Minghou Mansion forever.

..............................

Jingzhou's disaster relief went smoothly, which is undoubtedly good news for the Minghou Mansion.

But Mujing's thoughts today are not in Jingzhou.

He received Gan Ning who came back for a briefing.

Gan Ning knelt under the hall, saluting respectfully.

His face, obviously exposed to the sun and rain, has become very rough. He was originally a high-spirited young man, but now he has become a rough man.

"Xingba, get up!"

Mu Jing personally stepped forward and helped him up.

"promise!"

How dare Gan Ning ask Mu Jing to help him, he quickly stood up by himself.

"sit!"

Mu Jing turned around and sat directly on a step, casually letting Gan Ning sit next to him.

Gan Ning was a little flattered.

"Where is the courage of the Jinfan thief who challenged me on the river? He didn't even dare to sit down!" Mu Jing was sitting on the steps, with his legs up, a bit like a rascal.

His words made Gan Ning's rough face turn red.

Back then on the river, he had provoked Mu Jing, but he did not forget it. At that time, he was still a lone ranger, a chivalrous hero, one person and one boat, thousands of miles of arrogance, not to mention that he didn't know Mu Jing's identity, even if he knew, he would Dare to provoke.

It's just that after going through so much, having a broken family and growing up in adversity, I naturally learned some humility.

But Mu Jing said so, if he dared not even sit, it would be too disappointing.

He carefully sat beside Mu Jing.

"Tell me, do you hate me a little bit in your heart!"

Mu Jing didn't care about his job, he had to solve his knots first.

"Don't dare!"

Gan Ning gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"Don't dare, then there is!"

Mu Jing smiled: "Actually, there should be some. You are a good general and you didn't make any mistakes. You can be regarded as a meritorious service on the battlefield. In the end, I kicked you away to that birdless Zhuya Zhou, if you don't have any resentment, you can't justify it!"

"The subordinates have no second thoughts!"

Gan Ning responded in a low voice.

"I didn't say you have two minds!" Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder: "People are not saints, they have seven emotions and six desires, who can avoid it, such as me, the thief hates Hu Zhao, and I have the heart to kill him, but No way, I still have to use him!"

"so what!"

Mu Jing sighed and said: "Don't blame me, it's not that I want to kick you out, but I have to go. Hou Cong, I myself don't feel at ease. I can build an army for the Minghou Mansion to rule the world." , the invincible navy, only you Gan Ning, there will be no second person!"

Gan Ning's heart warmed slightly.

In fact, when it comes to resentment, he does have some resentment, resentment that Mujing kicked him to some crappy place, and has not heard from him for many years, as if he has forgotten him, and he doesn't even remember the sailors under his command.

But there is absolutely no hatred in his heart. In the Minghou Mansion, Mu Jing never treated him badly, and even praised him quite a lot. As soon as he surrendered, he was promoted to be a general of Zhonglang and in charge of the Jingping Navy. This is not ordinary It is the kindness of knowing you.

Thinking of Gan Ning, he is just a water thief. With this background, he can't even pass the grade.

But Mu Jing looked at him differently.

This kindness of knowledge and understanding is enough to make Gan Ning spend the rest of his life on the battlefield for him, dedicating himself to death.
