The incident of the Yangtze River water thieves came to an end temporarily, and the potter received Gan Ning's loyalty, and made him continue to gallop on the Yangtze River in the name of the Jinfan thief, and helped himself to slowly gather the hearts of the thieves, and the potter himself became the leader of the River Thieves Alliance and the king of pirates in another capacity.

Spring goes to autumn, and in a blink of an eye, the summer of the second year of the first peace has passed, and the season has gradually turned into autumn.

The governance of Jinling City, under the management of the five masters of governance under the pottery merchants, whether it is economy, grain production, technology or city transformation, compared with last year, there has been a qualitative leap.

The prosperity and wealth of Jinling City also began to spread widely in the southeast of the Han Dynasty, and became the first place of choice for merchants and relocated people from the north and south.

If you really come up with a specific comparison, it can be called a paradise for the time being.

On this day, the potter got a free time, and met Diao Chan to come to the suburbs to play, and by the way, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers on the outskirts of Jinling City.

As Diao Chan followed Wang Yun to live in Jinling City, the relationship between the pottery merchant and her became stronger and stronger.

Diao Chan's behavior is very normal, the little woman is very sensible, and she listens to the potter's words, but what makes the potter curious is another person - Wang Yun.

Since Wang Yun arrived in Jinling City, he has been living in a simple house, closing his doors, and staying at home all day long, as if he was about to become an immortal during the Dan period.

I don't know what the old man is doing at home every day.

Today, a group of men and women came to the edge of the Qinhuai River, and the potter and Diao Chan watched the beautiful scenery in and along the river, while gossiping with her.

"How's Wang Situ's recent practice?" The potter asked Diao Chan curiously.

"Practice?" Diao Chan's thinking obviously still can't keep up, and he doesn't understand the potter's ideological level: "What kind of skills do you practice?" I haven't heard my father-in-law say that, have I? ”

The potter raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Turtle Gong, he stays at home every day and doesn't go out, just like an old turtle in a fixed place, is his old man's magic skill almost to the extent of being superb?" ”

Diao Chan clenched his powder fist and gently slapped the potter.

"Nonsense again."

The potter smiled and stretched out his hand to hold her little hand, and said helplessly: "If you hold it at home every day, you will be able to hold back the problem, Mr. Huangfu, I can still meet him every once in a while, but your father-in-law, I don't seem to have watched it for a few months, right?" He is old, and staying at home like this every day is not good for his health. ”

Diao Chan withdrew his hand from the potter's palm, sighed faintly, and said: "Actually, I also persuaded him, but my father-in-law just didn't listen, saying that I didn't understand his worries...... In addition to eating all day now, he just locks himself in the study, not to mention you, even if I want to see him now, it's not so easy. ”

The potter couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

This old man, shouldn't he hide in the study every day to read the little yellow book?

At such an age, do you want to go back to basics and play so exciting?

Pure otaku behavior...... It hurts your body a lot.

Or, when will Tao invent a little shower gel and send it to the old man's study to make an envoy?

Diao Chan saw that the potter was thoughtful and did not speak, sighed faintly, and continued: "Zidu, I think the righteous father is still thinking about the ...... in the west."

The potter smiled and said, "I'm thinking about the Son of Heaven in Chang'an in the west, right?" ”

Diao Chan nodded slowly, his mouth full of resentment: "Except for the matter of the Son of Heaven and Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid there is nothing that can make my father-in-law so anxious, I'm really afraid that he won't be able to survive like this." ”

The potter also showed a melancholy expression, and said: "Wang Situ is really true, why bother to worry about things in Chang'an every day, not only do you have to work hard, but it is easy to lose your life expectancy if you are anxious...... But it's also my fault that I didn't buy some entertainment projects in Jinling City for Wang Situ to distract him. ”

Speaking of this, he saw that the Tao merchant paused, pointed his hand to the tributary of the Qinhuai River in front of him, and said with a smile: "In the coming day, Tao will set up a hundred painting boats on this river, all of which are the kind that are ushered in, exclusively for Wang Situ's entertainment!" It also saves him to read a small book in the study every day. ”

Diao Chan was very curious when he heard this.

"Painting Boat...... What is it? What for? ”

The potter smiled and whispered a few words in her ear.

Seeing that Diao Chan's face suddenly turned red, she raised her hand and pinched the potter, pouted, and said, "You are not serious!" My stepfather is so old...... You let him ...... You let him go to that kind of place...... He couldn't bear it. ”

When the potter heard this, a black line suddenly appeared on his head.

Sister Diao Chan, how do I feel about you, it seems that you are also quite dirty.

Dirty?

Thinking of this, the potter suddenly felt blessed, and a wave of heat surged in his heart.

He looked around, but saw that there was no one in the silent wilderness by the river, and a small dirty thought suddenly rose in his heart.

Since the baby came to this era, it seems that he has never opened meat.

The potter put on the face of a prodigal son, smiled at Diao Chan, and reached out to hug her waist like a water snake, and said with a smile: "Little demon girl, do you see if my body can eat or not?" Isn't it the sturdy kind? I'm so young! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his other hand to Diao's chest.

Diao Chan's face suddenly turned red.

In an instant, she understood what the potter was trying to do.

He was shy but faintly expectant and said to the potter: "You, you are like this, I can call people......

Diao Chan's refusal to return the exchange made the potter's breathing become heavier.

Everyone is so familiar, lonely men and widows are doing firewood...... Is there something that can be done in advance?

Qinhuai beautiful scenery, landscape style, in such a beautiful environment, why not just take the sky as the quilt and the earth as the bed, and solve the matter between the two people on the spot?

Thinking of this, the potter's eyes suddenly lit up.

He breathed heavily, and at once he pressed his mouth towards Diao.

"Tao Fujun!"

A loud shout sounded not far behind him, but it was Pei Qian who hurriedly ran towards the potter, which startled both Diao Chan and the potter.

Diao Chan hurriedly broke free from the potter's clutches, and moved to the other side with a blushing face.

The potter took a deep breath, and turned his head to look at Pei Qian behind him with an unkind face.

Pei Qian was also a little dumbfounded.

He looked at the potter in a daze, observing the expressions of him and Diao Chan back and forth, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have broken Taishou's good deeds just now.

ruined the rhythm of the lord's pickled girl, what kind of crime is this?

Looking at the potter's gloomy face, the sweat on Pei Qian's head was miserable.

It seems that for a long time in the future, I am afraid that I will not stop.

The potter straightened his shirt and said in a cold voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"Mansion Jun, the captain of the agricultural school sent someone to invite you back to the house, saying that there is something important to discuss with you."

The potter let out a long sigh and turned his head to look at Diao Chan with a reluctant expression.

"I'll eat it next time."

Diao Chan's face turned crimson and snorted at him, but his expression obviously didn't have much repulsion.

The potter stood up and walked in the direction of the city, Pei Qian following closely behind.

The potter stopped, looked back at Pei Qian who was following him in surprise, and said strangely: "If you don't commit suicide by jumping into the river, what are you doing with me?" Are you really waiting for me to come back and find a reason to kill you? ”

Pei Qian was about to cry when he heard this.

"Fujun, it's such a big deal, isn't it? Am I wrong? ”

……

……

After sending Diao Chan back to her residence first, the potter and Pei Qian returned to the county guard's mansion, but Chen Deng waited for the potter in the main hall for a long time.

"Fujun, the Huaipu Salt Mine has produced a lot this month." Chen Deng smiled and handed over an account sheet to the potter, and reported to the potter with a happy face: "Today's Danyang County, because of this salt mine, has become the country of abundance...... Fu Jun is really well-informed, and he really can't imagine that this salt mine is so abundant, and the salt in it seems to be inexhaustible. ”

If the potter secretly digs up, there will be ghosts, and the reserves of salt in Huaipu are the first in the world, if they really dig it clean...... How heavy is the mouth of the people of the Han Dynasty? He died of thirst.

"Yuanlong came to me for the sale of sweat salt, right?"

Chen Deng nodded heavily, and said: "In our Danyang County or Xuzhou, salt and iron are monopolized by the government, and this matter is also easy, but to sell it to other counties, one needs to be approved by the local assassin or the county guard, and the other is that we also need a proper official road to trade with the local area." ”

Hearing this, the potter nodded, and said that the sale of salt and iron is indeed not as simple as selling grain, and said that there are a lot of things, and he really needs to make more plans in this regard.

"Since Yuanlong told me this, he must have his own thoughts in his heart, I don't know what Yuanlong plans to do?"

Chen Deng pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "If the prince wants to expand the salt and iron takeaway in our Danyang County, according to the foolish opinion of the next, the best thing at the moment is to choose the business of the Mi family." ”

When the potter heard this, his sword eyebrows raised slightly.

He glanced at Chen Deng without a trace, turned his head and pretended to bow his head in contemplation, but in fact, waves began to rise in his heart.

Something is wrong.

"Brother Yuanlong, is there no other way than to use the Mi family's business ways?" After thinking for a while, the potter was noncommittal, turned his head and continued to consult Chen Dengdao.

Chen Deng sighed and shook his head helplessly: "Chen understands what Fujun means, the affairs of Danyang County, Fujun doesn't want the scholars of Xuzhou to be too involved in it, but the Mi family is the richest man in Xuzhou, and it is also the household of a famous merchant in our Han Dynasty. ”
