There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Tao Qian rolled his old eyes: "Where are you going? At today's banquet, when Wang Situ and the old man were drinking alone, they discussed in private about you and his adopted daughter, and since you were on the Yuedan Review, Mi Zhu and Cao Bao both secretly approached this old man to worry about your marriage, and judging from the meaning of their family, it seems that they also intend to marry this old man."

Hearing this, the potter's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Tao Qian said to himself leisurely: "I think back then, these Xuzhou gentry didn't look down on the old man's son. Now even Wang Yun, including Wang Yun, wants to be in-laws with the old man. Hehe, the marriage of the gentry is a learned job. I have to sell you for a good price."

The potter's face turned dark: "Father, I'm listening."

Tao Qian seemed to be getting drunk, he laughed loudly and said, "Just listen to it, it's okay, it's all about learning!"

After all, he didn't look at the potter, and walked out of the room unsteadily, leaving the potter alone staring at the background of the old man, thinking deeply.

My father is like this, what can a real Nimafu ask for?

Chapter 172 Tour of Pengcheng

The next day, the pottery merchant introduced Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Sima Lang, Han Hao, Hu Cai, Xu Rong, Guo Jia, Yu Erbi, Liu Hubi and others to Tao Qian.

Tao Qian didn't ask too many questions about the subordinates recalled by the pottery merchant, but just asked them one by one out of courtesy, and he didn't hold any post.

In the old man's mind, since the pottery merchant is going to take charge of a county, he will definitely need his help. Since these people are all brought back by him, the pottery merchant himself will assign them to work in the future.

As the prefect of a county, the pottery merchant was already qualified to start a mansion from the moment the imperial court's order reached Pengcheng.

After Tao Qian talked with several people, he asked them one by one to go to Danyang County with the potter to take up the post, and the appointment will be discussed after the potter takes office.

Among them, only Sima Lang, Tao Qian had a detailed talk with him.

After all, it is a prominent family in Hanoi. It is no small matter to move the whole family here. Tao Qian still has to deal with it cautiously.

In order to prevent the gentry system in Pengcheng from being destroyed, Tao Qian still asked Sima Lang to go to Danyang County with the potter for the time being. In addition, he also hoped that Sima Lang could become an official and assist the potter together with the others.

After weighing several times, Sima Lang finally agreed.

And he also became the first gentry leader to become an official under the potter's command after he opened his mansion in Danyang County in the future.

Also, among the people brought back by the pottery merchant, Tao Qian was quite curious about the ear nose and Liu Hu's maid.

Tao Qian can be considered to have experienced many storms. He fought Beigong Boyu in the northwest, and the old man could tell at a glance that these two people were not Han people, and their temperament and demeanor were not ordinary untouchables.

But Yu Er Nose is under the control of the pottery merchant at the moment, and he dare not speak nonsense in the face of the governor of Yizhou.

He only said that he was a Huns living in the territory of Han who was rescued by a pottery merchant, and that he and his adopted son Liu Hu's servant were willing to be slaves and servants to repay the pottery merchant's life-saving grace.

Tao Qian saw that something was wrong, but it wasn't a big deal after all, and Tao Qian still had confidence in his son.

But if he knew that these two people were both princes and grandsons who were qualified to inherit the title of Shan Yu, the Southern Huns, how would Old Tao feel?

Apart from Yu Erbi and Liu Hubi, Tao Qian is obviously also interested in Guo Jia.

Although Guo Jia and Tao Qian's answers in the dialogue were in-depth, with foresight and resourcefulness, but Tao Qian could clearly feel that this offshoot of the Guo family from Yingchuan seemed to be somewhat resistant to his family ,how to say

It seems that he was kidnapped, and he had to follow it.

Thinking of this, Tao Qian couldn't help laughing at himself.

I am really old, and I like to think about everything.

My own son, what kind of pee is he most aware of?Will he kidnap someone back?

This idea is as ridiculous as his old Tao family can dominate the world in the future.

Tao Qian didn't care about that much, after all, he was brought back by his son, so he could do whatever he wanted, a little-known and unpopular child, he was not worthy of too much worry and thought from himself, the lord of a state.

After meeting these outsiders symbolically, Tao Qian went about his own affairs.

As the head of a state, there are many things to worry about. Regarding personnel matters, the son can do whatever he wants, and settle it by himself.

After recommending Tao Qian to everyone, the pottery merchant invited others to either go to the post to rest or return to the military camp outside the city, while he left Guo Jia alone and asked him to accompany him to walk the streets of Pengcheng.

Although Guo Jia didn't want to be an escort, he had to bow his head under the eaves. He also had a lot of experience in the shameless methods of pottery merchants.

Pengcheng Bazaar.

The pottery merchant and Guo Jia walked side by side on the street, and not far behind them, the four brothers of the Pei family followed and protected them unhurriedly.

Of course, there is also the bodyguard You Luzi who has been in charge of "guarding Guo Jia with a gun".

"Brother Guo, how is the development of Pengcheng?" The potter asked Guo Jia as he walked.

Guo Jia followed slowly, and said as he walked, "Let me speak, but you will have to pay for it."

The potter raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you too greedy? I'm just chatting with you, not asking you to advise me. How can there be so many demands?"

Guo Jia shrugged, looked around, and said, "It's not bad. Pengcheng has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It has been developed for thousands of years. Seeing it today is indeed extraordinary."

The pottery merchant smiled and said: "I dragged you out today, shopping is one of the things, and the other thing is to discuss with you how to fight in Xuzhou in the future? After all, Brother Dagan is a rare strategist in the world. His opinion must be Very unique."

Guo Jia turned to look at the pottery merchant, pondered for a while and said strangely: "Guo doesn't understand, although you kidnapped me forcibly, you seem to admire Guo's ability from the very beginning. It should be the first time they met when they drank and cheated in the Black Mountain military camp, right?"

The pottery merchant smiled mysteriously, and said: "I have no other abilities, but Tao is well-known to all the talents in the world, and he is like a treasure."

Guo Jia sniffed, turned his head to the side, not letting the potter see, and rolled his eyes in disdain.

The pottery merchant is so thoughtful, Guo Jia's little tricks are naturally clear to him, but he doesn't say anything, but continues the topic just now: "Brother Feng Xiao just said that Pengcheng has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. I don't know what the reason is. ?”

Guo Jia snorted when he heard the words, and said: "It depends on how you think about it. In Guo's view, if there is a need, any place will become a battleground for military strategists. If there is no need, any place will become a weak spot. The land of Pengcheng is the place where the plain is located in the north, the south of the Yangtze River is guarded in the south, and the hinterland of the Central Plains can be entered in the west. If this place is located in the south, it will become the gateway to the north; if it is located in the north, it will be the throat of the south. In Guo's view, Pengcheng is the only place where a large army can attack the north or the south from the south without any obstacles, but this place is suitable for a front line, but it cannot be used as a rule. Just imagine In the past, this place used to be the boundary between Chu, Qi, and Jin, and there were constant wars and stalemates, so it is quite unwise to use it as a governing place."

The pottery merchant nodded when he heard the words, quite agree with Guo Jia's remarks.

Guo Jia continued leisurely: "The one who said that just now collected gold."

"Brother Feng Xiao, Tao doesn't understand very well. What's wrong with me? Why can't you be my arm with peace of mind, and have to give me advice in the form of transactions? If you talk about the ability of employing people, I feel that I Although it is not the best, but at least it is not weak, why can't you be willing to be used by me?"

After hearing this, Guo Jia's sloppy smile disappeared, and he frowned and fell into a thoughtful state.

Why did he directly refuse to be used by pottery merchants? In fact, Guo Jia was not very clear in his heart.

Perhaps the real stalk is still at his age, Guo Jia claims to be an outstanding talent in the world, and he cannot serve because he is not the hero of the world. This is Guo Jia's rigid requirement for himself.

Even if it was Yuan Shao, who was four generations and three princes, he could not tailor a reasonable position for Guo Jia because of weighing the interests of the Jizhou gentry, Guo Jia would abandon him without any regrets.

And a person who has such high demands on himself or others suddenly let him seek refuge with an unknown boy, and he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. In terms of feelings, Guo Jia couldn't understand his own heart.

Of course, after a few days of contact, Guo Jia did find out that pottery merchants have some admirable features besides being cheap, which is the fundamental reason why Guo Jia is still willing to stay in Xuzhou.

Otherwise, according to his urine nature, even if he was really shot to death by You Donkey, he would not be able to live comfortably in the pottery.

To put it bluntly, the interest in the potter still occupies most of the aspects.
