In this way, before Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, took office, he was placed under house arrest by the potters in Jinling City.

Liu Tingshi's life is also comfortable, the potter provides him with good food and drink every day, and also finds a warbler Yanyan to wrap around him, so that Liu Tingshi can live a fairy-like happy life in Jinling City.

This is the lifelong dream of many men, but the problem is that Liu Miao doesn't know why, he just feels aggrieved.

And the big seal of Yangzhou Thorn History has become a talisman borrowed by potters at any time, and from time to time they take it from Liu Miao to cover a few tricks.

The potter is very authentic, and he is not a white envoy every time - at least he carries two bags of fruit to Liu Xuan, which is counted as a loan fee, and once it is finished, it will be returned immediately, and it will never be overnight.

It is not difficult to borrow and repay.

A gentleman is still very particular about doing things.

Since this period, all the decrees in Yangzhou have been issued by potters and distributed to the counties.

The first decree was that in addition to Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin, the remaining more than 20 Shui Kou led the old troops to settle in various counties under Wu County and stationed there.

Wu Jun was too conservative and constitutional, although he was extremely angry about this matter, but one was afraid that the potters had defeated Yuan Shu's strength, and the other was that the potters had done everything, each of which had the seal of Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, which was justified.

Sheng Xian didn't take any reason, he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he could only endure it.

Next, the pottery merchant sent a letter of condemnation to Yuan Shu in the name of Yangzhou Assassin Shi, reprimanding Yuan Shu for his bad intentions in occupying Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, and issued an assassination order to Wang Lang of Huiji County, Zhuge Xuan of Yuzhang County, Sheng Xian of Wu County and others, ordering them to reorganize their armies for war, draw a clear line between friend and foe with Yuan Shu, and be ready to crusade against Yuan Shu at any time.

At this time, it made the county guards of the counties anxious.

On the surface, it has to be an official document that should be guarded by the county, but secretly he doesn't dare to do too much, so as not to offend Yuan Shu.

Even Wang Lang secretly scolded the potter in his heart: This kid is really too capable of being a demon.

And just when the potters kidnapped Liu Miao and brought the whole Yangzhou into turmoil, two people from the south and the north finally arrived at Jinling City.

The one who came from the north was Mi Zhen.

The person who came from the south was Zhang Zhongjing.

In fact, the two of them had already entered the territory of Danyang County, just because the pottery merchant was engaged in a large-scale fierce battle with Yuan Shu, in order not to be affected by the war, the two could only wander around Danyang County, chatting and waiting, waiting for the war to end.

It wasn't until Yuan Shu evacuated the border of Danyang County and the hinterland of Yangzhou returned to tranquility that the two began to march towards Jinling City again.

Mi Zhen was the first to arrive in Jinling City.

The girl came to Jinling City this time, and the burden on her body was extremely heavy.

One is that she was appointed by Mi Zhu as a representative to discuss with the potters how to sell salt to the western states and counties.

Whether the business is profitable or not is only the first thing Mi Zhen has to do.

The second thing...... Mi Zhu talked to Mi Zhen very seriously in private, and asked her to take the opportunity of cooperating with the potter to find a way to get close to the potter, and it was best to be able to recommend herself to the pillow and take down the surname Tao.

If these two things can't be done, Mi Zhen doesn't have to go back to the Mi family's old house.

Mi Zhen felt very depressed about this matter.

The first thing is easy to say, after all, it is a business matter at home, and I heard that there is Chen Deng in it.

As long as Mi Zhen works hard, with the abundance of salt mines in Jinling City, coupled with the many sales channels that Mi has accumulated in the Han territory over the years, it is not difficult to make money.

The key lies in the second thing.

is a big girl who is delicate by herself, and the eldest brother has to force herself to take down a big man......

This kind of shameless move, Mi Zhen really can't do it

She has been quite polite since she was a child, not to mention any self-recommended pillows, even if she talks a few more words to men, she is easy to blush.

……

When Mi Zhen arrived at the Jinling County Shoufu, the potter and Diao Chan were accompanying Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Xiao Ying'er to study new things.

Today, Zhuge Liang has come up with a new type of toy, and he is taking it out to show off to a few people.

The new toy has an axis, and 26 small cubes are composed, which can rotate back and forth along the axis of the center, Zhuge Liang wrote the six sides of the cube on "A, B, C, D, E, and Ji", rotating back and forth to mess around, and let people rearrange the rotation combination and return to position.

When the potter saw this thing, he was a little surprised.

Isn't this Nima a Rubik's Cube?

This thing must have been invented by Westerners, right? Why did the wings of a butterfly blow the wind and let Zhuge Liang drum up this thing in advance?

But doubts are doubts, but suddenly there is a Rubik's Cube to play, the potter also feels very interesting, Sima Yi and Xiao Ying'er are also very interested in this thing, two adults and three children, in the daytime in the county guard mansion put together a Rubik's Cube.

"Only two sides were spelled out...... "The potter was not very good at the Rubik's Cube in his previous life, and he twisted it for a long time and only put the two sides together.

Xiao Ying'er pouted and raised the Rubik's Cube in her hand dryly.

This stupid kid is even more miserable, and he only spells out one side.

Xiao Sima Yi was sweating profusely, wielding his exclusive pu fan while licking his lips and twisting it hotly.

Looking at that appearance, there is already more and more of the Jigong posture that is rumored to be.

"Teacher, look!" Xiao Sima Yi swayed the pu kui fan vigorously, raised the toy in his hand, and said with flying eyebrows: "Haha, I spelled out the four sides, how about it?" ”

When the words fell, he saw Zhuge Liang lightly lifting the Rubik's Cube in his hand - all six sides.

Xiao Sima Yi's smiling face stiffened suddenly.

He quietly looked at the Rubik's Cube in Zhuge Liang's hand with a pair of cute eyes, suddenly raised his head, and said disdainfully: "Except for the second junior brother, it belongs to my strongest ......."

Before the words were finished, Diao Chan raised the Rubik's Cube in his hand with a smile, and it was also on all sides.

Sima Yi is completely wilted.

Zhuge Liang didn't forget it, he couldn't imagine that even Diao Chan was better than himself.

The child's self-esteem is quite frustrated......

Xiao Sima Yi was depressed, and glanced at the white feather fan in Zhuge Liang's hand again, with an envious look in his eyes.

Although I don't understand it very well, it's really amazing to add exclusive points...... If I could get such a fan, it would not be difficult to spell out six sides.

Zhuge Liang ignored him, and asked Tao Shang with a smile: "Teacher, what do you think of this thing?" ”

The potter fiddled with the Rubik's Cube in his hand up and down, and nodded appreciatively: "Original, talented, this thing should be promoted, Xiaoliang, does this thing have a name?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Not yet, please ask the teacher to give the student a name." ”

The potter didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at the thoughtful Sima Yi: "Yi'er, what do you think this thing should be called?" ”

Sima Yi's little face fell, obviously a little unhappy.

"Teacher...... Why do you call me Second Senior Brother Xiaoliang, but you call me Yi'er...... The students feel so bad. ”

The pottery merchant sighed and said helplessly: "This matter is really not bad for a teacher...... You call me teacher, I call you Xiaoyi, do you think this title is reliable? ”

Sima Yi was stunned all of a sudden.

Seeing Sima Yi making a fuss, the pottery merchant lowered his head as if he was making trouble, did not answer himself, and smiled helplessly: "Forget it, if you don't say it, then I'll start by myself...... Xiaoliang, according to the teacher's opinion, the fundamental gameplay of this thing is made up of patchwork, it might as well be called 'Pinduoduo', how about it? ”

"Hiss——!"

In an instant, in the hall, Diao Chan, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang, and Xiao Ying'er took a step back at the same time and gasped.

The potter's heart sank downward.

A sense of foreboding came over him.

It seems to be a rhythm that is to be despised by these women and children.

Half an hour later......

"What's this name? Why is it so ugly? Sima Yi turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang and said in a low voice.

Zhuge Liang bit his lip and looked at the object in his hand distressedly, with an extremely reluctant expression...... Obviously, he felt that he had invented this baby bump that had given the teacher such a strange name, which was really bad.

The potter's face darkened a little.

Xiao Ying'er tugged on Diao Chan's water sleeve and said in a low voice: "Sister, Master Tao, why is he so uneducated." ”

Diao Chan sighed, shook his head, and said, "I don't know what's wrong with him today...... Children, the name just now doesn't count, the master and mother give this baby a new one. ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly turned around and respectfully saluted Diao Chan.

"Please ask the teacher to correct the student."

The potter stood up and said unhappily, "What do you mean?" What happened to Pinduoduo? Why can't you call it that? ”

Diao Chan was afraid that the potter would have low self-esteem, so he just comforted him gently: "Pinduoduo is good...... It's just that this name is too elegant, and the children can't accept it, so let's have a few more in case of candidates. ”

After that, I saw Diao Chan gently tapping his chin with his fingers, pondered for a while, and said: "This small box made by Xiaoliang is regular and neat, it looks simple, but it is extremely difficult to fiddle with, it is very spiritual, it is better to call it Lingfang." ”

The muscles on the potter's face stiffened.

A good Rubik's cube, and finally make a spirit cube, it's not as good as Pinduoduo.

As soon as Diao Chan finished speaking, he saw that the faces of the three children showed expressions of appreciation and admiration.

Sima Yi was the first to bow his hand and said: "If you want to do a good job, you must first make a good name...... Shi Niang is so talented, it really makes Yi Xin yearn for it, Lingfang! This name is too apt! ”

Zhuge Liang also said respectfully: "With the praise of the master Chrysostom, this thing will be passed down for thousands of generations, and it is very comforting." ”

Xiao Ying'er also said happily: "I am still my sister's unparalleled literary talent, and her knowledge can be compared to the Cai family, who is the world's most talented woman." ”

The potter was sick to his stomach and wanted to vomit.

At this time, Pei Qian walked into the hall and looked at the laughter of a girl and three children in the hall, while the potter was sulking on the side, and couldn't help it.

Most of the princes have galloped over the years, and there have been few defeats, but in front of their lovers and students, it seems that they are a different person, at least not as vicious as they are outside.

"Fujun, Miss Mi Zhen of Mi Mansion, on behalf of the Mi family in Pengcheng, came to visit Fu Jun, and she has entered Jinling City at this moment."

The potter was stunned when he heard this, waved his hand at Pei Qian, took the worship sticker sent by Pei Qian, and opened it to take a closer look.

After reading it, the potter immediately instructed: "Miss Mi is not an outsider, I and Diao Chan also have a few sides with her, you will send someone to bring her directly later, and Diao Chan and I will entertain her here." ”

"No!" Pei Qian received the order and turned around to handle the matter according to the potter's request.

Diao Chan hesitated a little and said: "Miss Mi represents her brother Mi Fang, she has something to discuss with you, and the concubine is here, it seems a little inconvenient." ”

The potter shook his head and said: "If Mi Zhu comes in person, I should entertain him with a public courtesy, but after all, Mi Zhen is just a deep boudoir woman who is less than double ten, and it is inappropriate to recruit each other with a public ceremony. ”

Diao Chan listened to what the potter said made sense, nodded slightly, and did not avoid it.

The three children and Diao Chan stayed behind.

When he was young, Mi Zhen walked into the hall under the leadership of Pei Qian, and the pottery merchant ordered someone to put fruit and honey to greet Mi Zhen, and then introduced Mi Zhen one by one.

For Diao Chan, Mi Zhen naturally knows about it, and as for the two children of the Sima family and the Zhuge family, Mi Zhen has also heard of it.

Seeing that Tao Shang was entertaining himself in such a formation, Mi Zhen seemed to be a little cramped.

It looks a bit like a family meeting.

She saluted the potter Yingying, and said a little shyly: "Prince Taiping is waiting like this...... This kind of family banquet to entertain Zhen'er really made Zhen'er feel deeply guilty and frightened. ”

The potter glanced at Mi Zhen's big chest without leaving a trace......

It's still so peaky, breathtakingly big.

"Miss Mi don't have to be polite, although you are representing Brother Ling this time and have official business, but Tao and the girl are also old friends, Diao Chan and the girl are also old acquaintances, between us, we don't have to use that kind of official occasion, right? On such occasions, it is more convenient for the girl to speak. ”

When Mi Zhen heard this, her slightly apprehensive heart seemed to fall a little.

"Prince Taiping, you want to establish a business in Jinling City and cooperate with my Mi clan, Zhen'er is here to discuss this matter with Gongzi as a representative of the Mi clan...... I don't know what kind of cooperation this business thinks? ”

The potter gently tapped his fingers on the table, and said: "The business I plan to set up is called the Thirteen Lines, and the salt business is only one of them, and it may be added in the future...... On the side of the firm, although the main family is my Tao family, but I have a lot of government affairs on weekdays, I am afraid that I have little time to worry about this matter in my daily life, I thought about it and decided to let Diao Chan cooperate with Mi Shi on my behalf. ”

Diao Chan had been listening quietly on the side, and couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.

Before Diao Chan could speak, he saw the Tao Shang continue: "One Diao Chan girl and I also have a marriage contract, which can be regarded as my Tao family, and the second is that you are all girls' families, and it is convenient to cooperate and communicate on weekdays, and the third is that women are careful and do business, the general direction is controlled by me, and the daily expenses are managed by you, so you must be more careful than me, which I have the same opinion as Brother Ling." ”

When Mi Zhen heard this, her beautiful eyes fluttered, she glanced at Diao Chan lightly, and asked: "This so-called thirteen lines, Zhen'er heard her brother mention it when she left Pengcheng...... So may I ask the Fujun, the salt of the Thirteen Lines is sold externally, and the Fujun provides the dry salt, and my Mi Shi provides the external sales channel, is it? ”

The pottery merchant smiled: "That's roughly what it means, but according to what Tao has heard, the Mi family has been in business for more than 100 years, dealing in rice grain, silk cloth, and ceramic utensils, but this salt business has never been involved, but I don't know your channels, can you sell it into salt?" ”

Mi Zhen's face was slightly red under the eager gaze of the potter: "Look at what the son said, the giants of the world, how can there be an iron heart that only sells a few things, as long as there is a surplus, my Mi family can sell anything." ”

When the potter heard this, he suddenly realized.

"Then, as Miss Mi said, if you sell to make money, the girl's business house will also start to buy dung and eggs in various counties in Xuzhou, right?"

Mi Zhen seemed to have been forcibly poured with aphrodisiacs, and her face flushed.

The truth is such a truth, but how can it be said by this prince of the peace, and it sounds so unpleasant?

The potter gently tapped his fingers on the table, and asked Mi Zhen again: "There is one more thing, according to the girl's opinion, how much should our two families take for the share of the salt sold?" ”

Mi Zhen came back to her senses, gently tapped her chin with her fingers, and thought for a while before saying: "According to the little sister's opinion, the salt is profitable, the Fujun gets six, and the Mi family gets four, which is very fair, I don't know what the Fujun wants?" ”

Before the potter could speak, he heard Diao Chan on the other side suddenly speak.

"No way!"

saw Diao Chan stand up, and his gentle and charming face was replaced by a serious and businesslike appearance.

But seeing that she first gave a gentle salute to the potter, she said: "Zidu, Cicada'er is suitable for her words, and you will be held accountable later, but since you believe in Cicada and allow the concubine to manage the affairs with Miss Mi, then these things can't help but Cicada Er does not discuss with Miss Mi carefully." ”

The potter was a little stunned when he saw this: "Ah, it's okay...... It's okay, you two will be in charge of specific affairs in the future, so let's break it up. ”

Diao Chan smiled softly at him, then turned his face, looked at Mi Zhen with a straight face, and said: "Diao Chan is not like Zhen'er's sister who was born in a merchant family, and is deeply involved in the way of commerce, but the cooperation between the two families and the transaction are nothing more than seeking profit. Ben', all the salt production is from the Zidu side, and Zhen'er's sister's family is nothing more than the sales channels of the past, without these dry salt, your Mi family is also selling others, so calculated, Danyang dry salt through the Mi family, nothing more than a hand, neither need to be pre-purchased, and do not need to invest in costs, but it is plain to divide forty percent, Diao Chan feels unfair. ”

The potter's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at Diao Chan in disbelief.

What Diao Chan said, the potters understand.

But she didn't expect that she, a Wang Yunyi daughter, could have such insight and ideas.

Mi Zhen was not frightened by Diao Chan, but instead went away from the weak and shy state of being suitable, and began to transform.

Chess opponents!

Mi Zhen stood up and looked at Diao Chan fearlessly, as if she was soft and rigid: "Sister's words, it is biased, if you talk about cost input, although my Mi family does not produce salt, but my sister forgot to calculate an account, since the channel is my Mi family, the transportation between the north and the south, carriages, manpower, labor, or the small manpower sold outside my Mi family's own shop, etc., are all costs, so calculated, four or six points are not considered to take advantage of Jinling City, but in fact, the Mi family respects Tao Fujun and takes the initiative to cut meat. ”

Diao Chan was unceremonious, and retorted: "If my sister calculates the cost with me, then let's calculate this account today, the salt in Jinling City is official salt, digging wells and collecting, it is also a cost, the thirteen lines are Zidu's newly built commercial houses, although he has an official body, but the salt mine is not Tao's private property, although the cost of salt in the county is low, but it still needs taxes, Zidu is the county guard, and he will not fill his own pockets, to be clear, it is just the thirteen lines to take salt from the salt mine to keep accounts, I don't know if my sister has calculated these costs?" ”

Mi Zhen sighed: "If my sister deduces so, then my little sister will give in one more step, and seventy-three is the most." ”

Diao Chan raised his eyebrows: "Seventy-three? It's okay, then I want to ask my sister again, if the salt is shipped to other states, the salt money cannot be recovered due to the difficulty of Mi family's channels, but who should bear this deficit account? ”

Mi Zhen was unceremoniously: "Naturally, he is the prince of Taiping." ”

"Sister, I will never agree with ......"

“……”

Seeing the two women arguing in the hall, the potter couldn't help grinning,

It has to be an old lady who will pass it, as if buying something and bargaining, a sum is more refined than a sum.

The two beauties who were gentle and elegant just now, in the blink of an eye at this moment, they have transformed into an invincible aunt who bargains in the vegetable market.

Sima Yi stuck out his tongue and whispered to Zhuge Liang beside him: "Women are so scary, it's the first time I've seen my master so fierce...... And the aunt with the big chest and abdomen is also so serious. ”

Zhuge Liang swayed the white feather fan, but it looked light.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Ying'er and said softly: "When you grow up, you must not become as noisy as the two of them." ”

Xiao Ying'er nodded as if she didn't understand.

When they were young, the two women finally negotiated all the details one by one, and decided on the details and regulations that were divided, and the other four people in the audience were dumbfounded.

Diao Chan turned his head to look at the potter and smiled coquettishly: "Zidu, do you agree with what I talked about with Zhen'er's sister?" ”

Mi Zhen also returned to her usual shy state: "If the prince thinks there is something wrong...... You can bring it up, and Zhen'er will discuss it with you. ”

"Huh?" The potter blinked, nodded stunnedly, and came back to his senses: "There's nothing wrong!" You've been very thorough, and everything is perfect, and I really can't find any flaws...... That, go back and draw up a written charter, I'll show Zhang Zhao and them, if there are no major omissions, it can be decided. ”

Mi Zhen and Diao Chan both smiled when they heard this.

But he saw Diao Chan suddenly turn his head, looked at Mi Zhu, and chuckled: "Sister, you came this time, but you plan to live in Jinling City for a long time?" ”

Mi Zhen nodded shyly and said, "For a while, I can't leave." ”

"Great, I'll take you around Jinling City, there is a cloth shop, the brocade sold is particularly soft, the texture is excellent, it feels similar to the Shu brocade, let's go over together, and make a good selection."

Mi Zhen had a smile on her face: "Really? That's got to be Sister Lao, I'm in a hurry this time, I don't have much clothes with me on weekdays, only three carriages......"

The two people who are at loggerheads suddenly become extremely good at this moment.

The potter rubbed his head, ashamed of himself.

They can achieve greater things than me.
