Chapter 1522 Mind Control
(Page 1/1)
Jiang Gan did not reply to Jia Xu. He had reported the situation in Guanzhong to Runan and believed that Sun Ce would react. Economics and people's livelihood are a very complicated issue. He didn't know how Sun Ce handled it, but he knew that Jia Xu was a smart person who did not see a rabbit and did not show off his eagle. His suggestion was not for Sun Ce's consideration, but for being a fisherman who wanted to fight against the snipe and the clam.
So far, how to deal with the Liangzhou people led by Jia Xu has always been the focus of Jiang Gan's work. He must maintain contact and not allow other forces to intervene easily, nor can these Liangzhou people eat too much. If they eat too much, they are even more reluctant to cooperate with Sun Ce's actions.
Silk is a popular commodity in the Western Regions recently. It is a long-term and generous profit and cannot be easily given to Jia Xu. Moreover, Sun Ce is planning a maritime business. Once it succeeds, it will be difficult for him to benefit from Silk Business. Now that he has given this benefit to Jia Xu, it will be difficult to let him spit it out at that time. He has seen too many such things as Mien and fighting against Mie. The people of Liangzhou are not gentlemen who recommend themselves to others.
Jiang Gan lived in Anyi for two days and repeatedly negotiated with Jia Xu to determine his basic intention. Jia Xu arranged for someone to rush to Runan with gifts to discuss specific matters with Sun Ce. Jiang Gan was only responsible for principled issues, and the specific price and quantity must be determined by others. A transaction of this scale requires Sun Ce himself to sign and recognize it.
Two days later, Jiang Gan left Anyi and returned to Chang'an.

After seeing Jiang Gan off, Jia Xu got on the car and returned to the city. He was exhausted. He had two days of negotiations with Jiang Gan. He seemed to be having a good chat and laughter, and the atmosphere was harmonious, but in fact, it was quite difficult to think about it. It was no less than experiencing a fierce war. The war in autumn was related to whether the people of Liangzhou could gain a foothold in Bingzhou, and even more about whether he could control Niu Fu and Dong Yue. He did not dare to take it lightly.
When he arrived at the gate of the prefect's mansion, before he got off the bus, Jia Xu saw the knight in front of the prefect's mansion, sighed and cheered up again. The moment he opened the car door, he seemed to have changed, full of energy, and walked into the door with great strides, walked through the vestibule, and came to the atrium.
Niu Fu sat in the hall, and his confidant Hu Chier stood aside with a knife. Seeing Jia Xu coming in, Niu Fu laughed and said, "Wenhe, you are back, hurry up, take out the good wine. I'll come all the way from Jinyang, thirsty and hungry."
"The court hasn't rewarded you with some imperial wine?" Jia Xu laughed slowly, "Dong Qing just left. I heard that the court rewarded Dong Yue with a lot of good things, so he shouldn't treat you differently, right? Speaking of which, you are the son-in-law of Mr. Dong, and your wife is the only remaining blood in the Dong family. Even if you treat it differently, you should be more generous to him."
Niu Fu caressed the messy beards, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Wenhe, the court is so poor that it is almost as pants. Where is there any good things? Even if there are good things, isn't it still the county and county tribute? Think about it, who are still tribute to the court now? Jiaozhou, Yizhou, Youzhou, and at most Jingzhou can there be any good things?"
Jia Xu went to the hall and took the seat, and ordered someone to take the wine and food to entertain Niu Fu. Niu Fu knew that he was in the wrong, so he drank three cups of himself before he salivated and asked Jia Xu about the negotiations with Jiang Gan.
Niu Fu originally thought Jiang Gan would go to Jinyang, but later he received news from Jiang Gan that he had too much trouble and time was tight, so he stopped going to Jinyang. All his opinions were conveyed by Jia Xu. He was a little panicked, so he rushed from Jinyang in person and drove a thousand miles in three days. Despite this, he still couldn't see Jiang Gan. Jiang Gan left when he arrived, which coincidentally made people think that Jiang Gan just didn't want to see him.
This made him very worried.
Dong Yue was stationed in Hongnong and had always had a close relationship with Sun Ce. Later, even his daughter married Jiang Gan. Jia Xu had always negotiated with Sun Ce on behalf of Liangzhou people, but he, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, was stationed in Jinyang and was far away, and dealing with Sun Ce was the most troublesome. Jia Xu, Dong Yue met Jiang Gan three times before he could meet Jiang Gan. This time the situation was special. If the negotiation broke down, he might never see Jiang Gan again.
Jia Xu ignored Niu Fu. The situation must be reported, but it would be fine to make Niu Fu nervous for a while.
Seeing that Jia Xu ignored him, Niu Fu became even more uneasy. He put down the wine glass awkwardly, helped the desk with one hand, stroked the forehead with the other, gritted his teeth, and pulled out a list from his arms, got up and walked to Jia Xu, and handed it with both hands.
"Wenhe, look, this is the court's court's ritual list. Isn't it too shabby?"
Jia Xu didn't answer, but just glanced at it and said lightly: "It's a bit shabby, but given the current situation of the court, this is very sincere. Dong Yue is not as much as you." He reached out and pointed it on it. "These items have been cut in half, but there are not these items at all. It seems that the court still values you, Mr. Dong's son-in-law, very much."
Niu Fu was very embarrassed. Seeing that Jia Xu didn't accept it, he had to take it back. However, he heard that Dong Yue received less rewards than his own, so he was relieved. Jia Xu saw it carefully and continued: "Yuanyi, the court is in a difficult situation now, and it is not enough to make ends meet. You can't compare them with Sun Bofu. If it weren't for Wang Yun and those who died, you wouldn't even get these."
"That's true." Niu Fu's expression was a little slowed down and he was indignant. "Since Duke Dong, he has dealt with so many Guandong people, the one who really treats us as human beings is General Sun. Although Li Meng, Wang Fang and others were defeated by him, nearly 20,000 Liangzhou people died at his hands, he won openly and we were convinced. Unlike Wang Yun, who flattered himself on the surface and stabbed him in the back. There was also Lu Bu's Hun dog, I couldn't spare him."
Jia Xu looked at Niu Fu cursing Wang Yun and Lu Bu, neither helping or stopping him. Niu Fu had nothing outstanding except being Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. Don't look at him cursing happily now, if he really avenged Dong Zhuo, he didn't have the courage to avenge Dong Zhuo. He had been the governor of Bingzhou for so long, but he had never seen him take revenge on Wang Yun or Lu Bu's family. From his heart, he did not dare to be enemies with Wang Yun and Lu Bu.
This is not a bad thing either. The more nervous and fear he is, the easier it is to control it.
After Niu Fu finished scolding, his hatred and fear of the Kanto people also occupied his emotions again. He looked at Jia Xu uneasy. "Wenhe, you said that Mr. Dong has been dead for more than three years. The court has not mentioned the matter of Zhengming to Dong Gong. Why is it because of Yuan Shao and Wang Yun dead?"
"Yuan Shao, Wang Yun's death is only one aspect. Don't forget that Lu Bu is still there, and Gong Dong was killed by him. The court is justifying Dong Gong's reputation and he feels comfortable."
"What's the point?"
"Of course it's because you occupy Bingzhou." Jia Xu smiled. "If you don't have territory and strength, you see how the court will deal with you. Your belly is getting bigger and bigger recently. It seems that Jinyang has a lot of oil and water. If the court kills you, maybe you can light the sky lantern again."
Niu Fuling made a cold war and his face turned pale. He said embarrassedly: "Wenhe, this joke is not good, it's too creepy. Tell me quickly why the court suddenly changed its character. Although we occupy Bingzhou, we have no money or food. Huangfu Song and Lu Bu really want to come to find him, we are not opponents."
"Don't worry, the court will not deal with us for the time being. They have greater trouble to deal with."
Niu Fu rolled his eyes. "General Sun?"
Jia Xu nodded. "The court has great righteousness and General Sun has strength. It will be difficult for them to decide the outcome in a while. The court wants to gather the four prefectures of You and Liangyi to surround General Sun..." Jia Xu suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart and suddenly realized.
He understood what the court wanted to do.
