Chapter 15 Jia Xu Worried
In a few moments, the mansion will be outside.
Seeing Jia Xu concentrating on correcting government affairs, especially his tired face, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel sore, hey, he is not a celebrity, otherwise he would find some great talents to share his worries.
"Xingba is here too!"
"My lord," Gan Ning hurriedly cupped his fists.
"My lord, you are back, why don't you send someone to announce in advance, so Xu can bring someone to welcome you." Jia Xu put down the bamboo slips, bloodshot eyes.
"The red tape will be avoided. Has the food and grass promised by the big families in Jingzhou been delivered?" Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice. This batch of food and grass is the key at present.
"Most of the grain and grass from the Cai family, the Huang family, the Xi family, and the Ma family were delivered, and they all went along the Feishui River to the accumulation and Xinye granary." When mentioning this, Jia Xu's old face was full of smiles.
He never expected that Zhang Xiu's trip to Jingzhou would raise a million stones. In this troubled world, there are so many things that can be done with this million stones.
Zhang Xiu nodded in response, and continued: "I see that most of the polders outside the city have been successfully planted. Next, in addition to transplanting mulberry trees, the rest of the people must use work as relief to repair the city walls, official roads, and private houses."
"It should be so!" Jia Xu clasped his fists and said.
"By the way, how about the household registration statistics of the people under the current rule?"
"My lord, according to statistics a few days ago, there are about 26 naturalized households in Nanyang, with more than 91 people. Now I think it should have exceeded one million people." Jia Xu is quite satisfied.
This population is already no less than that of Jingzhou Nanjun. As long as the war is reduced, within three years, the past will definitely repeat itself.
"Nanyang had nearly 300 million people in its heyday and was known as the hometown of emperors, but now it is only one-third of the past, which is not worth mentioning." Zhang Xiu's face is heavy. These are millions of living lives. this.
"Wenhe, you worry about the common people's affairs."
"By the way, Xingba, how about the recent recruitment?" Zhang Xiu turned around and asked.
In troubled times, based on the fundamentals, one food, two soldiers.
Why did Yuan Shao in Hebei be able to dominate the four states afterwards, making Cao Cao breathless.
It is precisely because Jizhou is prosperous, with sufficient soldiers and food, and there are many famous generals in Hebei, such as Hebei Sitingzhu, and Yuan Shao's background, so Cao Ying secretly informed Yuan Shao on the eve of Guandu.
"My lord, the people have signed up enthusiastically. So far, we have recruited [-] soldiers. In time, we will surely shine." Gan Ning clenched his fists and said excitedly.
"However, my lord, if Xiangyang is taken, there must be a navy to restrain Cai Mao's navy. My subordinates believe that the formation of the current navy should be the top priority."
Zhang Xiu frowned and thought, Xiangyang is surrounded by mountains, the only way to swim is to cross the Han River.Without the water army, they would not even have a chance to approach the city.
If Zhang Xiu remembered well, the reason why Guan Yu crossed Xiangyang to attack Fancheng was precisely because of the navy.He and Le Jin fought against Qingnikou many times. The Qingnikou river is wide enough to station warships.
And Qingnikou is near the Mian River, which can be diverted to the Han River, and Cao Wei's navy is exhausted, so Guan Yu dared to cross Xiangyang to encircle Fancheng. Once Fancheng is lost, the isolated city of Xiangyang can surrender without a fight.
"What Xingba said is very true, it is difficult for an army without water to conquer Jingxiang."
"Gan Ning listens to the order and orders you to leave immediately. Set up troops in Biyang, repair the docks in Yibishui, build ships, and train the navy. Within a year, you must train me more than ten thousand elite boat masters. There must be no mistakes." Zhang Xiu He said proudly.
"My lord, you can't." Before Gan Ning could respond, Jia Xu said first.
"My lord, although you have lofty ambitions, you still belong to the forces of Liu Biao's Northern Domain. My lord, you practice cavalry to ward off Cao Cao. This name is justified. I don't need to elaborate on why you want to train a boat master!"
"Although Liu Biao doesn't have great ambitions, he is a thoughtful person, and he is definitely not a vulgar person. Once the lord trains the boat master, Liu Biao will set out to attack, so our army will be attacked by the enemy, and it will be difficult to achieve great things!"
"This..." Zhang Xiu hesitated, he knew the general direction, but he really didn't think much about these details.The details determine success or failure, without Jia Xu, I am afraid that this disaster will not escape.
"But military division, if you want to take Jingxiang, you must have a powerful navy to restrain Cai Mao, otherwise, what's the big deal?"
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment and then said: "Master, Rong Xu thinks about it for three days, and after three days, he will make a decision."
Gan Ning was on the sidelines, seeing that his opportunity to make contributions was blocked, he was already impatient, and couldn't help saying: "My lord, there will be a countermeasure at the end, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."
"Xingba speaks out." Zhang Xiu didn't care.
In history, Xingba acted recklessly and straightforwardly, so he had many disagreements with the generals of the Wu Kingdom, but he was brave and resourceful, only Lu Meng dared to reuse him.
"My lord, Ning was a water thief with the name of Jinfan, and was quite famous among the great rivers and lakes.
And the lord is stationed in Nanyang, I feel dissatisfied, and it is not impossible to return to the water thief.In this way, no one will be suspicious of Ning to train the navy and build ships for the lord.
Moreover, Ning Duo, a water thief on the great river, has friendship. If Ning calls, they will fight to be the first to vote. "Gan Ning cupped his fists, and looked at Zhang Xiu with burning eyes after speaking.
On the other side, Jia Xu also stared at Gan Ning, then said anxiously: "My lord, you can't. There is no general in the army. General Gan Ning is the leader of the three armies. There are many talents in the navy training in time, it is better to let Xu think about it for three days, and there will be countermeasures."
Looking at Jia Xu's burning eyes, Zhang Xiu already understood what it meant.
He belongs to Liu Biao's northern clan. If that's the case, Gan Ning is an outside force of his clan. There are too many uncontrollable factors. Once Gan Ning's wings are hardened, it will be fatal if he breaks away from Zhang Xiu or bites back.
Gan Ning also knew what his words meant, he didn't speak, but stared at Zhang Xiu, he was waiting for the man's reply.
"Xingba walks in the big rivers and lakes, and he is familiar with the water patterns. It is perfect for him to train the navy. There is no need to talk about this matter." Zhang Xiu raised his hand and decided.
"Xingba, I grant you 5000 million yuan, [-] shi for food, and enough armaments, but within a year you must recruit me an elite boat master that can rival Cai Mao, can you do it?" Zhang Xiu Clang said.
Hearing this, Gan Ning stared blankly.
He thought that Zhang Xiu would refuse, because he only knew Zhang Xiu Yueyu, no one would dare to do this, even if he did, he should be cautious.
However, Zhang Xiu asked for 5000 million yuan and [-] stone grains. What kind of boldness and confidence is this.
Trembling, Gan Ning's body was trembling, his straightforward personality, but at this moment he felt a warmth, which even made the tip of his nose sore.
The hero, Liu Biao is like the stars and the moon, how can he be compared?
Gan Ning has only one thought, a man who dies for his confidant, even if he faces millions alone at this moment, he will be happy and not afraid.
"The last general, Gan Ning, will definitely live up to the lord's entrustment."
His voice was a little choked, and he even landed on one knee directly.
This trust, Gan Ning has nothing to repay, even if there are mountains of swords and flames, he will never frown.
"Xingba, please get up quickly." Zhang Xiu stepped forward quickly.
"My lord, the last general is going down first to prepare." After Gan Ning finished speaking sonorously, Fu Jian left with the general.
Watching Gan Ning go away, Jia Xu just sighed: "My lord, you are so confused! Gan Ning is a gangster, if he rebels in the future, how will we go south and achieve great things."
"Wenhe, if you are handsome, you should know how to make good use of it, right?" The corners of Zhang Xiu's mouth curled up, revealing that confident smile.
"But."
"You don't have to doubt the person you employ, but don't use the person who suspects you. If he turns against me, wouldn't it be a good thing to spend a hundred thousand shi, food, and grass to find out?" Zhang Xiu laughed heartily.
"Oh, by the way, Lei Xu will be arranged to lead a thousand riders to Wuguan later."
"My lord, Wuguan is broken, what's the use of stationing there? Wouldn't it be a waste of money and food?" Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"No, there are very few good horses in Xiliang. Now Li Jue, Guo Si and others in Guanzhong have merged with each other, and the food and grass have long been exhausted. If Wuguan can exchange horses for food, there must be deserters in exchange."
"It's all true. Thousands of good horses are easy to catch? What's more, they all know my name, Zhang Xiu. I'm afraid it's not impossible for these athletes to worship under my command." Zhang Xiu chuckled.
"My lord is thoughtful, I'm really ashamed." Jia Xu swallowed his saliva, he found that except for some details, Zhang Xiu's control of the general direction is really exquisite.
At the same time, the general mansion is a hundred steps away.
"Brother, Zhang Xiu gave us 5000 million yuan and [-] stones of food and grass. It's really bold. How about we wander on the river and don't listen to his orders? I don't expect him to be hard to chase. Brothers like this live in style and ease. ?” the general said excitedly.
At the end of the sentence, Gan Ning stopped for a moment, looking back with killing intent, everyone who watched would shudder.
"Today, I miss you as my brother, and I won't kill you. If you dare to disrespect the lord in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless." After speaking, Gan Ning let out a cold snort and left.
The general swallowed hard, his forehead already wet with sweat.
