Of course Zhang Miao wanted it. Chen Liu was a piece of fat, and everyone wanted to take a bite. Zhu Ling led a 10,000 army to be stationed in the sour jujube for a long time, and Yuan Tan came again. What was Yuan Shao's idea in his mind? Zhang Miao knew very well. He knew that he had no ability to use troops, but if he could equip some excellent weapons, he could always increase his combat power and more self-protection ability.

With common interests, the topic immediately became relaxed. Jiang Gan told Zhang Miao that Nanyang could not only provide new carriages and paper, but also salt and iron tools. Sun Ce and Xuzhou's great merchants joined forces to transport salt from Xuzhou, with good quality and fair prices. Zhang Miao was unable to seek it. Compared with carriages and paper, salt and iron were more important. This was a must-have, especially in troubled times.

Sun Ce's willingness to sell salt and iron means he is really not hostile, otherwise who would have given the sharp blade?

As the prefect of Chenliu, with a strong enemy around him, Zhang Miao was worried, and Sun Ce sent him kindness. How could Zhang Miao be so righteous? He became active and asked Sun Ce about his intentions in a roundabout way. He couldn't get up early without profit, and Sun Ce suddenly gave him good things. There must be a reason for this.

In terms of eloquence, both Zhang Miao and his brothers were not Jiang Gan's opponents. As soon as they spoke, Jiang Gan understood.

"To be honest, although General Sun is invincible on the battlefield, he has difficulty in taking steps in Yuzhou. If it weren't for this, even if he knew that Mingfu was a friend but not an enemy, he wouldn't be able to sell such a weapon."

Zhang Miao looked careless. "What kind of trouble did General Sun encounter? Maybe I can help."

Jiang Gan hesitated for a while, but still shook his head. "Oh, it's better not to say it."

He refused to say that, and Zhang Miao wanted to hear it even more, so he tried to urge him in a different way. Jiang Gan said helplessly, "Does the Ming Mansion know that a few months ago, Liu Bei had been appointed as the governor of Yuzhou by Yuan Benchu?"

Of course Zhang Miao knew, but he pretended to be the first time he heard about it and was surprised. "Is there anything wrong?"

"That's right. General Sun also found it very strange, but when the troops were at the city, he could not sit idly by Liu Bei's invasion, so he led his army to fight. It was not difficult to defeat Liu Bei, and Xu Rong was defeated by General Sun, so what was the only one Liu Bei. But the supply of food and grass in the army was a big problem. Thanks to Tao Xuzhou generously donated 50,000 shi of grain, which solved the urgent problem. Although Liu Bei was defeated, Yuan Tan came again, General Sun was in a tight position and had to ask for help from the Ming Mansion."

Zhang Miao nodded repeatedly. Sun Ce was worried about Yuan Tan? This is so good, we have a foundation for cooperation.

"Runan is a big county with a population of millions. Does General Sun have enough food and grass?" Zhang Chao shook his head in discomfort.

"Runan..." Jiang Gan shook his hand, not wanting to say anything more. "Forget it, forget it, don't mention these things. General Sun is sincere, and I would like to ask Mingfu to learn from it. It is the end of May, the autumn harvest is about to begin, and the war is about to begin. We cannot delay it for too long. If Mingfu is willing to provide help, Mingfu will have his orders in the future, General Sun will definitely not refuse."

Zhang Miao smiled. Jiang Gan was sad when he mentioned Runan. Is there any reason for this? He is not a deaf person. Sun Ce had a conflict with Xu Shao, and the powerful family of Runan refused to cooperate with him. It would be strange if he could raise enough food. How could a martial artist from a poor family be compared with Yuan Shao? Even Yuan Shu would be much better than him. If Yuan Shu had not eliminated the powerful forces in Nanyang, Sun Ce might not have been able to handle Nanyang.

"Since General Sun respects me, Zhang Miao, how can I watch from the wall? When will General Sun arrive in Xu County, I will send someone to meet him and discuss with him."

"Of course that would be better." Jiang Gan burst into tears of gratitude.

——

Xu County, Pang Shanmin and Feng Fang were wearing new clothes and walked side by side with Sun Ce. Although it was midsummer, Feng Fang was full of spring breeze and brows. While introducing the situation of farmland, he secretly wiped the foam on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief to avoid leaving a bad impression on Sun Ce.

The military farm in Xu County is progressing smoothly, and Sun Ce is very satisfied with Feng Fang's work.

One of the reasons why Xu County was selected as a military farmland was because Xu County had a large amount of unowned land. Whether these people fled or were killed by the riots, whether Sun Ce, Pang Shanmin or Feng Fang, they didn't care. After Pang Shanmin counted his household registration, he found that no one claimed the fertile land, so he was confiscated. He was short of food, so of course he could not let the fertile land be idle. He asked Feng Fang to lead some Yellow Turban Army to bribe farming, and both worlds were beautiful.

It is said that it is a fertile land without a master, but in fact it includes the land of aristocratic families, such as Chen family. Chen Shi, one of the four chieftains of Yingchuan, is from Xu County. He is famous and very glorious when he died. General He Jin sent envoys to worship and mourn more than 30,000 people to attend funerals. However, in private, their family is not a kind gentleman, and they embezzled a lot of land. However, they cherish their reputation, and many of the land is not in the name of their father and son, but occupied as their clan members. After the war, some clan members died, and the land under their names became brutally unbroken land, which was all the cheaper than Pang Shanmin.

The fact that Pang Shanmin was able to seize the light of military disasters in Yingchuan was to some extent. The people of Yingchuan were afraid of being killed. Those who fled, and those who did not escape did not dare to go against the government easily. Everyone knew that behind Pang Shanmin was Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son, both of them were not good people, especially Sun Ce. He had too many a century-old family in Nanyang uprooted by him, and the new families in Yingchuan were even more difficult.

Pang Shanmin had significant political achievements, Feng Fang's military farming work was carried out smoothly, and Sun Ce was also very happy. With food, he had the ability to challenge Yuan Shao and his son. With Pang Shanmin, the rising star, he could also beat Zhang Zhao after he returned, so that he could be more active. In terms of knowledge, Zhang Zhao was better than Pang Shanmin. In terms of age, Zhang Zhao was better than Pang Shanmin. In terms of treatment, he was the prefect of Runan, and Sun Ce was very pleased with him. If his political achievements were not as good as Pang Shanmin, how could he have any face?

It is not possible to be harmonious. The subordinates must compete with each other. One is not convinced by the other, so that they can achieve success. Using Pang Shanmin to hit Zhang Zhao and Feng Fang to hit Qiao Rui are all routines that are not explained in the book, and Sun Ce plays very well.

"Brother Shanmin, there are many famous scholars in Yingchuan and have a very high vision. Is there anyone who causes trouble for you or turns you off?"

Pang Shanmin smiled slightly. "General, I don't come to the door at all, so where can I be turned away? The officials in the prefect's mansion and the magistrates of each county will stay if they want to stay. If they don't want to stay, they will leave by themselves. There are so many scholars in Yingchuan, so it's okay to find a few willing to serve their hometowns. Compared to Runan, Yingchuan has suffered several war disasters in succession. Now people are determined and not many people take the initiative to make trouble."

Sun Ce secretly praised Pang Shanmin for two years and became much more calm. He said it relaxed, but at the beginning he must have suffered a lot and suffered a lot of fatigue, otherwise he would not have rushed to Dingling to intercept Du Xi. But as he said, there are so many scholars in Yingchuan, who are afraid that they will not be able to find someone who wants to be an official? Famous scholars are unwilling to come, and ordinary people are willing to come. Doing things according to rules and regulations can be done even if they are not famous scholars, but they may not be able to do well if they are famous scholars. Pang Shanmin used to be famous scholars and did things in a mess. Now he has no habit of famous scholars, but instead shows a bit of the temperament of a capable official.

"Fengxiao told me that there is a Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui in Yangdi. Have you ever seen it?"

"I've seen it once." Pang Shanmin couldn't help laughing: "That's a good man, not a Mr. Shuijing."
