Upon hearing that all this was permissible, Gan Ning immediately rejoiced, clasped his hands together, and bowed. "Xingba shall not let down the Prefectural Governor's trust," he said.
"Good. Then remember to send Jir Cai back, since only his family has sea ships. Let me know within a year if you have trained a commendable navy. I will assign you your second task. Otherwise," Chen Xi said with a sinister smile, "hmm!" "Do you hear me?"
"Yes!" Gan Ning answered loudly.
"Then get ready to set out. I will write a letter of commission for you so I can shoulder the blame if anything goes wrong. However, if you don't do well and something happens, I will absolutely not concern myself with you!" Chen Xi said as he began to write. After finishing, he sealed the letter with the Prefectural Governor's seal, then wrote a financial allocation order. With this order, one could request funds from Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping, and Mi Zhu.
