There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"Woo..." Zhuge Xuanwen was at a loss for words.

Guo Jia can speak eloquently and has a quick mind. There are few opponents in the world, and the pottery merchant is even more invincible. Based on Zhuge Xuan's two moves, he is still no match for the two of them.

With Guo Jia's help, the pottery merchant feels that he no longer has to rely on his own thinking and planning to deal with things like before. With the help of ghosts and talents, many problems can be solved immediately after the two of them discuss anything on weekdays.

Even playing hooligans, the two of them seemed much more comfortable than they were alone.

This is the so-called brainstorming, a collision of ideas.

The pottery merchant continued to question seriously: "Zhuge's family belongs to the noble family of Langya, and Zhuge Jin is a rare young scholar. He doesn't know how to set an example for the people, but instead evades taxes. If you dare to ask Zhuge Gong, Tao Mou will accuse him of crimes, why not?" What's right?"

Chapter 182 Zhuge Liang

Listening to the potter's urging and questioning, Zhuge Xuan can't do it now.

"This, this!" Zhuge Xuanqi's face turned red, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

It stands to reason that Zhuge Jin did not get married and did not pay the single head tax, which was originally a trivial matter.

But it was obvious that the pottery merchant was making a fuss about this matter. After all, no matter how small the matter was, it violated the laws of the Han Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, it depends on what Mr. Tao wants to do with matters big or small.

Uncle and nephew Zhuge Xuan felt depressed because of this, while the pottery merchant was secretly filled with emotion.

Finally, I have seen the horror of feudal despotism. If you don’t pay single tax, you can use it to make a fuss. What an evil and human rights-free way of governing, it is simply devoid of conscience and unreasonable!

But it's cool to say.

Zhuge Xuan had no other choice, his only way out at this moment was to admit defeat.

The old man made a bow and said, "Young Master Tao, it's my fault that Jin'er doesn't pay the poll tax. This old man is willing to pay more fines for Jin'er. I will admit how much fine you say!"

The Tao merchant looked at Zhuge Xuan with a half-smile, shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhuge, are you slow to react? Don't you understand the meaning of Tao's words? It's not about fines now! It's about Tao After Shang reported this matter to the imperial court, he will detain Zhuge Jin in accordance with the law of the Han Dynasty and question him about the crime of tax evasion!"

Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin panicked.

The penalty for not paying the single tax is ambiguous. At a small scale, you can just make up the money, and at a high scale, if you are punished as tax evasion, you may be imprisoned.

Seeing what this stinky boy means, it is obvious that he wants to make things bigger now!

At this time, the young Zhuge Liang flashed out from behind Zhuge Jin, walked up to the potter, and bowed to him respectfully.

"Student Zhuge Liang, dare to ask Mr. Tao Fu how he plans to deal with my brother?"

Seeing Zhuge Liang, the potter's eyes lit up again.

Mr. Wolong, who will be famous in the future, is still such a lovely child, Xiaolongren.

However, the question Zhuge Liang asked was obviously on the key point.

The child made progress by retreating, and instead of asking the potter for forgiveness, he kicked the ball back to him and asked him how to deal with Zhuge Jin.

This matter is more of a test of emotional intelligence and skin.

After all, the Zhuge family is a Langya noble family. Even if they were caught by the pottery merchants, it is not a big deal after all. It is nonsense to say that the court issued a document. Among the gentry, it will also cause a lot of negative disturbances.

Forcibly sanctioning members of the gentry is likely to cause an upheaval among the gentry in Xuzhou, which pottery merchants cannot afford to exchange with a hundred heads.

What's more, Zhuge Jin's early crown ceremony was also to fulfill filial piety. In this society where "filial piety" rules the world, Zhuge Jin's behavior still occupies the commanding heights morally.

And the most important point is that deep down in the potter's heart, he just wanted to prevent Zhuge Xuan from moving south and keep Zhuge Liang, not really wanting to do anything to the Zhuge family.

So what is the punishment measure is the most important thing.

After all, the potter had to show some shame, he couldn't really convict Zhuge Jin too severely.

Zhuge Liang's question hit the nail on the head.

The potter beat the palm of his right lightly with his left fist, and stared at Zhuge Liang closely with a pair of tricks, with a look of approval on his face.

"Although your elder brother Zhuge Jin is guilty, but his filial piety moves the heavens and the earth, and his feelings are pitiful. Let's avoid the prison of tax evasion first, and make up the 120 yuan head tax."

Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin couldn't help showing joyful expressions when they heard the words.

However, the young Zhuge Liang was obviously not as optimistic as they were. Through the child's observation just now, he felt that this Lord Tao would never be so simple and perfunctory.

Sure enough, after Zhuge Xuan's nephew's joy passed, Tao Shang continued with a smile: "Zhuge Jin will not punish him for tax evasion, but as a rising star of the next generation of the gentry, if he continues to let him get away with it , I'm afraid that's not the case. I have to give the world an explanation."

Zhuge Jin was a little unhappy when he heard this.

Look at what this Tao Mansion lord said, I am just not married, how did I get away with it?Want to give the world an explanation?

"So, my son has decided to detain Zhuge Jin in Xuzhou for the time being, and Tao will arrange a wife for him in place of the imperial court until Zhuge Jin gets married."

After hearing this, the faces of Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin became stiff immediately.

"Arrange a wife for me?" Zhuge Jin said weakly with his eyes widened.

The pottery merchant nodded, and said with a smile: "Zhuge Jin, you have to thank the imperial court for thanking the organization for solving the major problems of marriage and giving you a wife to sleep and reproduce for an older single man like you in the midst of your busy schedule. Chao's social welfare is very good, you can go home and enjoy yourself."

Zhuge Jin's face turned pale with shock.

"Mr. Tao Fu, this matter must not be resolved!" Zhuge Jin was in a hurry. He was a rare rising star among the descendants of the Xuzhou gentry, and he had a very high vision.

If he really agreed with the pottery merchant, who knows what kind of woman this kid will put in for him?If he deliberately made trouble and arranged for a shrew with an extremely ugly face, wouldn't Zhuge Jin's life be completely ruined?

At this moment, the pottery merchant turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and said, "You calculated yesterday, who are the women in Xuzhou who are suitable for breeding Zhuge Jin?"

Guo Jia chuckled and said, "It depends on what Zhuge likes, there are thirty, forty, and fifty!"

Zhuge Jin was shocked when he heard this.

"Mr. Tao Mansion, this matter is really not acceptable!"

The pottery merchant was not very happy: "Zhuge Jin, Tao is no longer planning to pursue your crime of tax evasion? He even took the initiative to help you solve the marriage problem to prevent you from continuing to evade taxes in the future. You don't thank me for my relationship with you. Pushing three and pushing four? Is it possible that you still want to continue to evade taxes and break the law? Kid, you really can’t cure you if you treat yourself like a master?”

Zhuge Jin shook her head vigorously, her voice visibly trembling: "Mr. Tao Mansion, our Zhuge family will move south soon, and we definitely can't delay here any longer because of my business."

The pottery merchant smiled and said: "That's up to you, Zhuge Jin, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, even after you get married, you can't leave Pengcheng. You were 14 years old when you were crowned. The fundamental reason why the big man collects the poll tax is to get married and have children, and increase the population to contribute to the court. You have been crowned for more than three years, and Tao will be counted as one per year. You also owe at least three children to the court. Give birth to these three children quickly, and don't even think about stepping out of Pengcheng."

As soon as these words came out, only the three of Zhuge Xuan's nephew and uncle's faces turned black!

Since ancient times, I have only heard of forced women into prostitution and robbed civilian women. When have you heard of robbing women and men?

And not to mention getting married, she still has to stay here to give birth to three children for the court! ?

What is the difference between this and raped Zhuge Jin?
