The pottery merchant got angry, not as angry as before, and asked Guo Jia, "He treats you so well, do you ever think about marrying him and going back to be a concubine?"

Guo Jia rubbed his sore cheeks, and let out a "hissing" air from his mouth.

"I really thought about it"

The pottery merchant snorted, and put down the wine jug in his hand: "You can't lie even if you think about it! You are a cheater of money and sex, how scumbag do you think you are? A few hundred years later, people like you should be immersed in a pig cage. "

Guo Jia murmured in a low voice: "Who said that Mr. Guo cheated money! Which eye do you see that I took it?"

The pottery merchant snorted: "At least you lied to me because I caught a current strange thing. It is said that the monthly salary that Tao gives you is quite a lot, so it really isn't worth it for you to cry all over the world and poor you." What is the money for?"

The potter is very strange, Guo Jia under his command, although not too much, but definitely a lot!

It can be seen that the food, drink and clothing expenses of this prodigal son seem to be the same as when the potter first met him, and he is still so poor.

Moreover, he is still living in the side house of the school office, and he refuses to buy a house in Jinling City, and he can't even hire a servant to take care of him.

I gave him a reward for buying property back then.

Among the potter's subordinates, Guo Jiaguo was the most miserable and the least wealthy.

It stands to reason that he has been working for so many years, so he shouldn't be confused like this. Why did he spend so much money?

When Guo Jia heard the potter asked about money, his expression changed immediately, and his eyes also became evasive.

"This is Guo's private matter, so I don't need you to inquire about it."

Prefer not to say?

Don't want to say forget it, anyway, Tao will definitely be able to find out.

"You came here specifically to block me, not because it's so simple to embarrass Guo, right? You have something to say." Guo Jia stared at the pottery resentfully.

The pottery merchant smiled lightly, and then recounted the conversation he had with Chen Deng during the day.

"Chen Yuanlong is extremely disgusted with the establishment of the recruiting center and the recruiting list. This matter makes me a little worried, so I want to discuss it with you?"

Guo Jia shrugged casually, and said: "Chen Yuanlong is the head of the gentry in Xuzhou. The investigation has always been the best way for the gentry to grow stronger. It is common sense for Chen Deng to oppose the order of seeking talents. You are doing this in Danyang County and Wu County. To put it bluntly, what was deprived was the authority of the Jiangdong gentry. Although it would not affect the Xuzhou gentry for the time being, Chen Yuanlong had a far-sighted view. He was afraid that you would inherit the throne of Xuzhou in the future. The right to speak no longer exists, so of course he is in a hurry."

The potters also knew that the recruiting order was a strategy to directly hire talents from the local area by bypassing the inspection.

But his method, he must implement it.

The privileges of the gentry that were stripped away were actually transferred back to the potters themselves.

The disadvantages of the procuratorial system have long been apparent. If it continues to develop, the political power of the gentry will only become more and more important, so we must find a way to limit it.

"Then what should we do now? We have to set up a recruiting hall! Chen Deng's words are not good enough to make Tao Ruo persist? What can they do with me?"

Guo Jia rubbed his temple with one finger, and said with a smile: "You are the leader of the party, and the military and government of the four counties are in your hands. You are determined to implement the government orders. Who dares to do anything to you? But they will definitely plan in private. As for you, if these gentry have an external heart, our rear will be unstable. After all, there are quite a few princes in Danyang County, so don't let people take advantage of it."

What Guo Jia said made sense, and the potter nodded in agreement.

"Actually, this matter is easy to solve." Guo Jia said suddenly.

"How to solve?"

"Have you forgotten the Taiyuan Wang family and Sima family that you moved here?" Guo Jia suddenly reminded the potter.

Tao Shang raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"

"The recruiting hall and the recruiting order will only divert some talents, but they will not completely replace the procuratorate, at least temporarily, but will greatly reduce the number of procuratorial candidates. In this way, the gentry in Jiangdong and Xuzhou will definitely have some If you are dissatisfied, they will definitely resist, and even start to jointly deal with you, and you can bring Taiyuan Wang and Sima to the table at this time."

The potter seemed to understand a little bit.

"The number of candidates for the examination was originally reduced due to the promulgation of the recruitment order. Taiyuan Wang is the leader of the world! Even if the quota for the examination is reserved, there are still plenty of talents to advise! If they also start to participate in the recommendation of the four counties, then The local gentry in Jiangdong and Xuzhou are in the mood to compete with you? The places will be divided by the foreign gentry. They have to find a way to follow your path and try their best to recommend talents from their respective clans. The foreign gentry grow stronger, can they eat them all?"

The potter suddenly realized when he heard the words, and then clapped his hands: "It turns out that the contradiction has shifted!"

Guo Jia shrugged and said, "Compared to what you say, Guo is more willing to call this a way of weighing and dividing."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

According to Guo Jia's approach, the potters systematically brought the Sima family and the Taiyuan Wang family into the southeast inspection system.

Sima Lang was under the potter's command, and he was overjoyed when the pottery gave him the power to investigate.

Wang Yunyun was traveling outside, but with Pei Jing following him, the potter could always know where the old man was going.

Although Wang Yun jumped out of the Three Realms, the pottery merchant asked him to use his identity as the Taiyuan Wang family to scout for talents, and Wang Yun could not help but do so.

Although he himself was not in Jinling City, but the Wang family in Taiyuan was so powerful that he only needed to send someone to the lord's house to say hello. Some people who needed to be prosecuted would naturally come to Jinling City upon hearing the news.

In addition, Xu Jing was also included in the Jiangnan inspection system by potters.

Xu Jing's status is even more important than that of Taiyuan Wang's. Shang Shulang of Shangshutai, brother Cong is also Xu Zijiang, who would dare to say a word about the people he recommended?Who has the right to say no?

After Chen Deng learned of the news, he did not continue to oppose the potter's placement of the recruiting hall.

Naturally, the gentry in the southeast will no longer be embarrassed, because the actions of the pottery merchants have already let them know that this young man's Ni Lin cannot be touched.

At the fingertips, the whole group of the southeast gentry has changed, and the Xuzhou gentry, the Yangzhou gentry, and the foreign gentry are in a three-legged state.

And when the gentry groups in the southeast region were confronted with each other, a large part of the cake in the hands of the gentry was also absorbed into their own hands by pottery merchants in the form of recruitment halls and talent lists.

Among the vacancies, less than [-]% were recruited by foreign gentry through Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and the rest were all arranged by potters themselves through recruitment.

Dividing and weakening the political power of the gentry is a small business that pottery merchants will carry out all the time throughout their lives.

The recruitment hall was established, and the recruitment list was released, which immediately aroused huge repercussions in the southeast.

There are praises as well as derogations.

However, the recruitment hall has indeed recruited a group of low-level low-level people with real talents for pottery merchants.

Under the command of the pottery merchant, these people became the direct wings directly promoted by him, and helped him divide the power of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. The capable and loyal people were directly appointed to the counties under Wujun, Guangling and Xiapi. The vacant important positions are used as a platform for exercising ability.

Especially young people, pottery merchants put great emphasis on cultivating them.

Among the people who were recruited, there were some names that really surprised the potter.

Because of these names, potters know each other.

Dong Xi was born in Yuyao, Kuaiji.

Ling Cao was born in Yuhang, Wujun.

Xu Sheng, a native of Ju County, Langya, moved to Wu County in recent years to escape the war.
