There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"Wipe the shit." Seeing that the old man was feeling uncomfortable, the potter simply said it for him.

"It's the thing that was wiped!" Tao Qian felt relieved.

The potter was helpless, but the humble gentleman who was educated by Confucianism was different. Saying the word "shit" seemed to kill him like eating shit.

"Father, you said that Doctor Guanglu gave you a secret letter. What did the letter say?" The pottery merchant quickly changed the subject. He didn't want to continue discussing this matter with Tao Qian. It doesn't mean much on the lips.

After hearing the potter's question, Tao Qian seemed very surprised, and said in amazement: "You boy, why do you care about these government affairs?"

Tao Qian's expression and tone made the potter very puzzled.

You are the governor of a state, and I am your son. Is it rare for a son to ask me about my career? How can I become the second generation of officials if your career is not good?

Unbeknownst to him, Tao Qian has always had a great pain in his heart, which is the belonging and future of these two sons.

Tao Qian had a son in his old age, and he always treated the two boys like sweethearts, but he didn't know that if he got used to it, something went wrong.

Tao Qian himself, compared to the governors of other places, belongs to the kind of person who is not ambitious, does not like to fight, is quite a gentleman, and is willing to stay on his own. , The desire to be an official is barely considered a serious business.

Little did they know that dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes, the children of Lao Tao's family couldn't find the mouth even when they drilled holes.

The two sons of Tao Qian, like the worldly masters who don't eat the fireworks of the world, don't care about the ups and downs of current politics, people's livelihood and officialdom, but instead care about reciting words and making sentences, romance, falcons and dogs, cockfights and insects and other miscellaneous aspects , quite researched, very proficient.

The way of living that people of later generations envy is the way of living while eating and waiting to die.

Although educated in Confucianism, the two children do not do things that are harmful to nature; but they have nothing to do with the two children at all.

In fact, it’s right to think about it, the family really has this condition, if the rich second generation doesn’t lose money, wouldn’t it bury the talent of being a father to earn money?

On weekdays, Tao Qian told the two children a little bit about things related to the government affairs of the court, and the two children avoided it. But today the pottery merchant took the initiative to consult, and the old man Tao was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Do you want to know the contents of the secret letter from Doctor Guanglu Zhu Jun to this old man?" Tao Qian asked again.

The potter nodded.

"Are you sure?" Tao Qian was a bit obsessive-compulsive.

"Father, if you don't want to talk, let's talk about something else."

"Cough, cough, no need! Talk about this, just talk about it! Just say that!" Tao Qian was afraid that the child would repent, so he quickly changed his words.

After deliberating his words, Tao Qian sighed and said, "Zhu Jun and Weifu have a good friendship. He came to tell him in a secret letter that the princes in the Kanto region are spreading the call for thieves everywhere, and their troops are very strong. I would like to ask you to raise troops for my father to assist the court and protect the king and the country!"

Having said that, Tao Qian paused for a moment: "Can you understand what my father said just now?" Apparently he was not at ease with the potter's ability to understand

The potter really didn't understand where his intelligence was lacking. If he didn't understand this shit, he asked me if he could understand a few words?All you have to say is one sentence!

"I can almost understand that Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and all the princes jointly discussed it, and Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance."

Tao Qian's jaw almost fell to the ground without being surprised: "You still know that Yuan Benchu ​​is the leader of everyone, God bless my Tao family!"

Tao Shang felt that he was going crazy. How unreliable was the previous owner of this body?

Shaking his head and not thinking about him, the potter continued to ask: "Father, Zhu Jun secretly sent you to attack Dong Zhuo, do you want to go or not?"

Tao Qian's expression became contorted, and he seemed to be in a dilemma: "Accordingly, Dong Zhuo's disorderly government and his actions to bring disaster to the government are really treasonous. Our generation has been honored by the country. At this time of crisis, we should respond to the call and send troops to fight against the king. Thieves, but Dong Zhuo is too powerful and has the merit of supporting the emperor. Now he is in the position of prime minister. We and the local governors have only been in office for a few years. There are not many soldiers and horses, and there are many local bandits. Besides, soldiers are murder weapons also"

"Father, do you want to go, or don't you want to go?" The pottery merchant didn't want to listen to nonsense, and the old man couldn't speak for a long time.

"Don't want to go"

Pottery: ""

Looking carefully at the old man in front of him, the potter could not help but sigh secretly.

This old man who has a father-son relationship with him in this era is a set of nonsense when talking nonsense, but in the end he is still timid. In this turbulent society, it is indeed difficult to have the courage and determination of the frontier side, and his personality is still poor. So much lost.

However, if it were true, Tao Shang felt that he should also agree with Tao Qian's idea if it were him.

War, real knives and real guns is not a joke, who has nothing to do and has a good life, but you have to go out with your head on your belt?

But whether you agree or not, whether you can do that is another matter.

Among modern people, there are many people who are familiar with the history of the late Han Dynasty, not to mention that the pottery merchant was a senior editor immersed in the publishing industry for many years in his previous life.

In a society where people cannibalize people, the end of sticking to the rules is death, especially the governor of a state like Tao Qian is the worst.

Tao Qian was born as a student of Taixue, he was promoted as a talented person, and he served in the military successively with the general Huangfusong and the lieutenant of Sili. According to modern people's views, he is a pure study and social seedling with a promising future. Limited.

In fact, Tao Qian did it. Two years ago, due to the remnants of the Xuzhou Yellow Turban, Tao Qian was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou, a feudal official in Xinjiang. Looking at future generations, he is the head of a province. With his personality, if the world is peaceful, he will definitely Do a lot.

However, history is cruel. The feudal officials in the troubled times and the provincial cadres in the Qingping world are completely different things. In addition to martial arts and martial arts, many factors can determine whether you stand in line, have a strong wrist, and an unyielding character. Determine success or failure.

What's even more frightening is that for foreign vassals in the Qingping world, if they don't do well, they may end up with no hope of promotion.

But in troubled times, the ending of the foreign domain is to go all the way to the dark, and the ending of not doing well is the ruin of the family.

Tao Qian in history did not seem to have escaped this ending either. In his later years, Cao Cao, a formidable enemy and strong neighbor, was slaughtered by Boss Cao for most of Xuzhou’s population. After his death, his foundation was not passed on, and he did a great job for Liu Xuande. wedding dress.

And as the son of the governor of Yizhou, Tao Shang is even mentioned in the history books. The ending has become a mystery. A big unsolved mystery, open a case for investigation.

Today's potters don't want this ending, it's too miserable.

Not asking anyone to leave a name, but not even leaving a fart in the history books, and being directly released as a fart, this kind of ending is unacceptable to people with a little bit of self-esteem.

Therefore, whether you have no choice but to drive the duck to the shelves, you have to fight him hard, fight him hard.

"Father, I think you still have to go to this Kanto Thieves Alliance, and you can't just go in a perfunctory way."

Tao Qian shook his head, disapproving: "You son is usually lazy and lazy, how can you know the important affairs of the country? Soldiers are very fierce, and Dong Zhuo's battle with the princes, it is difficult to determine who will win and who will lose. According to the old man's opinion, join the alliance to discuss Dong Ke also, but he can't do his best, I responded to Yuan Shao's crusade against Dong Zhuo, but he didn't send troops and horses, just sit back and watch the victory or defeat, neither will offend you, and you will be safe!"

Tao Shang said softly, "Father, you are really an old chicken thief."

Tao Qian frowned: "You bastard, who are you talking about?"

Chapter 2 Lobbying Rich Businessmen

To tell the truth, Tao Qian’s statement is very much recognized by the pottery merchants in their hearts. Being able to have the vision and thinking of a snipe and a clam fighting for the fisherman’s profit is one of the important qualities of a successful person. The idea is very suitable for the potter's appetite, so I praised him as a chicken thief. The pottery usually doesn't easily praise others and only uses it for their own people!

But the idea is very full, and the reality is very skinny. Today's potters can't praise Tao Qian.

The reason is very simple, that is, the potters came from later generations, and they are very clear about the benefits brought about by this joint discussion.

Regardless of ancient or modern times, benefits can be roughly divided into two types, one is economic benefits, and the other is called social benefits.

Tao Qian was afraid of fearless losses. He only saw economic benefits, but he did not see social benefits. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan and many others in history, through this crusade against Dong Zhuo, They are famous all over the world, especially in the local states and counties, and have won the support of many aristocratic families who own the emperor. In the subsequent warlord expansion operations, various strengths have improved by leaps and bounds.

Perhaps these results were not thought of by these princes themselves, and they were completely unintentional.
