To tell the truth, Tao Qian's statement, the potter in his heart is very agreeable, to have the snipe and clam to compete for the fisherman's vision and thoughts, is one of the important qualities of a successful person, the old Tao Qian avoided the important to join the Dong Alliance, left and right to the source of the idea, very much and the potter's appetite, so he praised him a sentence 'chicken thief', this word potter generally does not easily praise others...... Use only for your own people!

But the idea is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and 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 by this joint discussion of Dong......

Whether ancient or modern, benefits are 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 other people in history, through this crusade against Dong Zhuo, are famous all over the world, especially in local states and counties, and have won the support of many families who support the emperor's family, and in the subsequent warlord expansion action, each strength has grown by leaps and bounds.

Perhaps these results were not imagined by these princes themselves, and they were completely unintentionally planted in the willows.

Therefore, sometimes it is not entirely correct to blindly preserve strength.

"Father, the child is not very supportive of your opinion."

Tao Qian didn't expect that today's son would have so many thoughts and opinions: "What do you mean by what Wu'er said? ”

The pottery merchant worded for a long time: "Father, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court's control over the local area has been greatly inferior to the past, and now there is more Dong Zhuo usurping the government, the Son of Heaven is young, and the forces that are too protective of the history of assassination have begun to rise, according to the child's opinion, no matter whether the action against Dong Zhuo succeeds or fails, soon after, the local forces in the Kanto region will inevitably begin to expand, and the local family gate lords will inevitably begin to lean towards different princes in order to seek perfection in the chaos. This strength includes both its own strength and prestige......"

Tao Qian's eyes began to become round, in fact, although this statement made sense, if it was unusual, it was not so unusual...... It's just that Tao Qian never expected that these words would come out of the mouth of the potter.

Is it possible to wipe your ass with an official document, and you can still rub out wisdom? …… The old man will have to secretly try to wipe it another day.

"Wu'er continued, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."

The pottery merchant continued: "Father, this crusade against Dong Zhuo is an opportunity to expand the reputation of our Tao family, as long as we can show our prominence in this crusade alliance, we will inevitably get the support of the pro-Han family, which will be greatly beneficial to my father to sit in Xuzhou in the future." ”

The potter searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and finally said these words completely.

"Wu'er, who taught you this?"

Potter: "............"

Dad, who has nothing to do, is about to burn his eyebrows, you don't care who said this, fart/stock/on/that/one/mouth/no matter how big the snack is, you can pull it out.

"Dad, if I say this myself, do you believe it or not?"

"Of course not." Tao Qian's words are categorical.

My father can't believe it, I really should pull the soul of my predecessor back into the shell and make a 300 board for him to reflect on.

"Who does that daddy think he said?"

Tao Qian's old god said: "Looking at the whole Xuzhou, according to the old man's view, only a few people such as Mi Zhu, Zhao Yu, and Wang Lang have this insight, and ......."

The potter nodded and said, "That's what Mi Zhu said." ”

Tao Qian's face turned a little dark: "......"

The perfunctory is indeed a little too obvious, is this child stupid to be a father?

"Rebel, get out!"

*******************************

The second truth that the potter learned when he came to this world - the person who can leave his name in the history books must be much stronger than ordinary people, even if he is a mediocre Tao Qian in the mouth of later generations...... The so-called mediocrity of ability is to compare with whom, compare with the princes, count as modest, compare with the common people, or compare the common people with mediocrity.

Such a person can't be perfunctory, at least not to fool him as an idiot.

Through the conversation just now, Tao Shang knew that although what he said moved Tao Qian slightly, after all, his predecessor had never asked about political affairs, and Tao Qian couldn't trust him.

Looking at Tao Qian's current performance, this crusade against Dong Zhuo, he wants to adopt a way of not working hard, and he needs to find a way to change his thinking.

The same words are said from different people's mouths, and the effect is different.

Through the conversation just now, Tao Qian said the names of the three people, presumably the weight of these three people in Tao Qian's heart should be different from others.

Mi Zhu, Zhao Yu, Wang Lang...... It seems that in order to persuade Tao Qian, it is necessary to ask these three people to take action.

When the potter came to the backyard of the Thorn Mansion, a fat man with a red face in a simple dress immediately stepped forward and bowed to greet him.

The fragmented memory in the pottery merchant's mind made him recognize that this was Tao Hong, the old manager of the mansion, who had followed Tao Qian for many years.

"My lord, the carriage is ready, are you going on an outing today, or are you going to hunt your favorite rabbit?"

The potter pursed his lips and looked at the origin of the predecessor: the tiger can't hunt, can't you hunt a fox, a wolf, or a deer...... I have to hit rabbits, and I like it the most.

"Don't do idle business today, prepare the car, and send me to Mizhu Mansion."

The old manager seemed to be a little unbelievable when he heard this: "Eldest son, Sun and Tuesday have been asking you to go on an outing for several days, and you have never delayed this matter." ”

"People, you have to learn to make more friends and make new friends!" The potter smiled and patted the old manager on the shoulder: "I'll release them two wild pigeons today." Let's go to Mi Zhu's mansion. ”

The old manager looked at the potter's eyes a little confused, but it was not good not to disobey.

"Eldest prince, although Mr. Mi recognizes you, but it is just a little neck-to-neck friend, you have never had anything to do with him, you might as well do this, the old man prepared a few gifts, and Zhuo Ren sent them in your name first, and then visited the house, but it is not very abrupt."

The pottery merchant nodded, the courtesy is still exchanged, human nature, this Tao Hongting is very good at doing things.

"Okay, then it's troublesome Uncle Hong, and prepare another prayer post, and send it over with the gift, just say that I will visit the potter, so that the family can be prepared."

The old manager frowned when he heard this, and said: "Although you are not in vain, but after all, you are the eldest son of the assassin history, and you are a little too humble to send a post with Mi Zhu." ”

The potter shook his head: "Just do as I say, there's nothing wrong with being humble." ”

After all, it's not time to find someone else to do something, or to lower your posture first, and want to pretend/force.

********************

Mi Zhu is a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, but also the head of the Mi family, the ancestors have been operating reclamation for generations, the family wealth is over 100 million, to put it bluntly, the landlord is strong, although Tao Qian is the history of Xuzhou Thorn, but only two years in office, want to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou, the Mi family must be the object of his wooing, so as soon as he took office, he immediately let Mi Zhu do not drive.

The so-called don't drive, to put it bluntly, Tao Qian is the governor of a state, and Mi Zhu is his secretary general.

……………………

Xuzhou, Mifu.

In the middle of the hall, there was a gift from the potter, and next to him stood a middle-aged man, who looked no more than thirty years old, with a clear appearance, the short beard on the chin trimmed neatly, and the brocade silk clothes were also clean and spotless, and he was a very self-disciplined person at first glance.

Mi Zhu's eyes looked directly at the gifts in the hall, he didn't care much about these gifts, after all, the Mi family was rich, and in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty, there were only a handful of people who could be richer than him, and these things really couldn't get into his eyes.

It was mainly the person who delivered the things, which surprised him very much.

The eldest son of Lord Thorn Shi, of course Mi Zhu knows, Tao Qian just entered Xuzhou two years ago, and recruited the four powerful to enter the office to help him gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou.

With the deep roots of the Mi family in Xuzhou as capital to support Tao Qian, Mi Zhu's condition is to allow him to take advantage of the position.

The bigger the business, the bigger the political/political/background.

is the so-called mutual benefit, Mi Zhu feels that the deal between him and Tao Qian is very cost-effective.

Of course, every businessman hopes to do business for a longer time, Mi Zhu is the essence of businessmen, and he hopes to do the business of the Mi family and the Tao family for a long time, not only Tao Qian's generation, but also his next generation, it is best to make this transaction endless for future generations......

So, Mi Zhu set his sights on Tao Qian's two sons, hoping to make friends with them, which can be regarded as paving the way for the future.

The problem is that after only three or two contacts, Mi Zhu was disappointed.

Tao Qian's son...... How to put it, it's really a fucking shortcoming!

His two sons are not only rigid and rigid, stupid and stupid, and do not seek progress day by day, as the son of the assassin Shi does not want to communicate with the dignitaries and nobles in Xuzhou, but all day long, chanting poems against each other, falcons chase dogs......

Anyway, it's not a person who does the right thing!

After figuring out the details of the two sons of the Tao family, Mi Zhu gave up the need to continue to invest in these two boys, he is a businessman, and businessmen only pay attention to projects that can produce returns.

Tao Qian is a good project, but his two sons ...... It's scum.

"Brother!"

A chubby man with a festive face trotted all the way to the hall, arched his hand at Mi Zhu, and said breathlessly: "The eldest prince of the assassin sent a post, come to the palace, big brother, what do you think about this?" "The person who came in was Mi Zhu's brother Mi Fang.

Mi Zhu touched the short beard on his chin and said to himself: "The scum is here......

"Huh?" Mi Fang was a little stunned when she heard this.

"I mean...... The eldest prince is here, and the brother should not be lazy, and he will go out to greet the brother as soon as possible. ”
