Chapter 726 The resistance is not small
Zhang Song heard that this was Lu Ning's sword and had also drunk the blood of the Xianbei people. He immediately became serious and took the sword respectfully. The scabbard looked very ordinary, without any embellishments, nor did he inlaid with gems or something. He just looked at it from the surface, and he didn't know anything.
After Zhang Song pulled out the sword, the sword light was cold and penetrated his skin. At this time, even a fool knew that this was a peerless sword; but what Zhang Song wanted was that such a good sword did not have a good scabbard, which was too much to compromise the sword.
Then Zhang Song said respectfully: "Thank you! This is a peerless sword. Please thank General Lu for me."
At this time, Zhang Song also understood that Lu Ning valued him very much, otherwise he would not have given such a precious sword. He immediately became excited and had a little yearning for him. He really wanted to see Lu Ning, the world-famous bear, immediately.
Jiang Gan briefly introduced other gifts to Zhang Song, which were all good wine, tea, excellent tea sets and other items. These things can also be purchased in Chengdu, and after being given out by Lu Ning's reputation, their value will be different and their significance will be deeper.
Jiang Gan said: "Zhang Biejia, my lord often talks about your name and respects Master Zhang's talent and respects Master Zhang's integrity. He said that Master Zhang is very outstanding in both military strategy and internal affairs, and is a versatile person with great wisdom."
Jiang Gan's flattery made Zhang Song feel refreshed, and he probably was laughing even when he was laughing. This is not surprising. Only flattery can never be worn; no matter whether it is a hero, a saint or an ordinary person, who doesn't like to flatter others?
Of course, Zhang Song is indeed talented, so there is no need to question this. When Lu Ning talked about Zhang Song to Jiang Gan, he also emphasized that Zhang Song's talent was praised, and he also said a few more words about how to please Zhang Song; and Jiang Gan was already talented in his whole body, and he was even more capable of flattering.
Zhang Song smiled very well and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, please sit in the living room."
Zhang Song was very happy and immediately asked his servants to serve the banquet. This was really unexpected and gave Jiang Gan an unexpectedly beautiful start. With such a good start, it would be much easier to talk about next.
Jiang Gan smiled and said, "Zhang Biejia, Chengdu is a good place, and it is truly beautiful for mountains, water, and beauty."
After eating late, Zhang Song got to the topic and said, "Mr. Jiang, I wonder what happened to you when you came to Chengdu this time? You can't just keep a gift for me!"
Sweat! Who will give you a great gift if you have nothing to do, unless you have a water in your head!
Jiang Gan also knew in his heart that Zhang Song was pretending! He knew what it meant, but he just didn't say it clearly. You want to pretend, but I can't spend any more time with you. Is my army stationed in Jiameng Pass?
Jiang Gan said: "Zhang Biejia, in fact, I was on a mission to Chengdu. I just followed the lord's wishes to visit Lord Zhang first, and wanted Lord Zhang to support him more. Afterwards, my lord and guild would like to thank him again!"
Zhang Song glanced at Jiang Gan, isn’t this nonsense? Thank you very much afterwards! What should you do if you cross the river and destroy the bridge? You really treat me like an idiot!
Zhang Song smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, just say anything. If I can help, I will do my best."
Jiang Gan said: "Zhang Biejia, my mission to Chengdu this time is to convince Liu Jiyu to surrender. I hope Lord Zhang can help you speak at critical moments and clear up various relationships."
Zhang Song hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Jiang, is this difficult to deal with?"
Sweat! Is it necessary for you, Zhang Song, to help me? It is because of the difficult situation that you can use your talents! Otherwise, how can you reflect your Zhang Song's ability? If you want to get high returns, of course you have to pay. There is something about pie falling from the sky in the world.
Jiang Gan glanced at Zhang Song and smiled and said, "Zhang Biejia, my lord said that after the matter is completed, the position of the governor of Yizhou will be Mr. Zhang."
Jiang Gan's words were like throwing a bombshell next to Zhang Song, which shocked Zhang Song. This temptation was extremely great. The governor of Yizhou was the lord of Yizhou! It was a lie to say that Zhang Song didn't want to, it was a lie. Who wouldn't want to sit in a high position? The key is to have conditions. It is possible. Now Lu Ning gave Zhang Song conditions and Zhang Song possible. Zhang Song is a human being, and he has desires and will be tempted. This is human nature.
After hearing this, Zhang Song was only excited for a moment and shook his head and said, "Mr. Jiang, General Lu's reward is indeed very heavy, but it is a bit like the moon in the water, and it is invisible and intangible!"
Jiang Gandao: "Zhang Biejia, it is certain that my Xu Huang's army will enter Sichuan. No matter how much resistance there is, it will enter Sichuan, this cannot be questioned. It is also the policy and policy that the General Staff Department has formulated long ago. However, my lord does not want the war to hurt the people of Yizhou and cause the people to suffer from the war, so he wants to try his best to solve the Yizhou problem with peaceful means. If the peaceful means cannot be solved, then it can only be solved by force, which is a trend that no one can stop."
Of course, Zhang Song knew in his heart that it would be absolutely true that Lu Ning would take Hanzhong and the army would enter Sichuan next; and the largest prince in the world was Lu Ning, the strongest prince was also Lu Ning, and the largest prince in the territory was Lu Ning. Since Lu Ning wanted to unify the world, it would definitely not allow Yizhou to be divided independently and become an independent kingdom.
Zhang Song smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are wrong about me. It's not that I don't want to work hard, but that it's too difficult and basically impossible to accomplish."
Jiang Gan said: "Zhang Biejia, can you tell me your worries?"
Zhang Song smiled bitterly: "Mr. Jiang, although Yizhou is located in a remote area, it is also full of aristocratic families; and the series of policies implemented by General Lu Ning, although they are very popular with the people, will harm the vital interests of the aristocratic families. Now that the aristocratic families and officials in Yizhou are actively surrendering, the first thing that opposes major aristocratic families and officials. Unless Lu Ning implements other policies that are beneficial to the aristocratic families in Yizhou, it will be really difficult."
It is of course possible to change the policy of the clans in Yizhou; all policies under Lu Ning's rule are based on the interests of the people, and only protect the interests of the majority, and will not compromise because of the opposition of the clans; wasn't Lu Ning also opposed by the clans when he first entered Bingzhou? The final compromise was the clans; of course, Lu Ning's policy was also beneficial to increase the income of the clans. All clans under Lu Ning's rule, as long as they operate legally, earn a lot of money, even much more abundant farming than the clans.
Jiang Gandao: "Zhang Biejia, changing the policy is definitely not possible. It is impossible to change the policy that is popular among the people because of Yizhou. This is not negotiable. But Mr. Zhang has considered it. In our jurisdiction, the development of those aristocratic families is also rapid, and the returns are countless times greater than that of farming. Lord Zhang should also be clear about this. The return is very high when handing over the land and investing funds in the development of industry and commerce. What is the disadvantage? Will the aristocratic families in Yizhou only hold on to that land? After the abolition of the agricultural tax, farmers' production enthusiasm has been greatly improved, the supply of agricultural products has become more colorful, and the prices have plummeted. If the aristocratic families farm again, what are the high returns?"
