Zhuge Jin was convinced, this time he was completely convinced.

Tao Shang taught him a truth of life: some people are destined to be bullied by other people from birth, this is not a matter of identity, but the gap between IQ and character.

Princely general Ning, rather have a kind? That's true.

But between hypocrites and honest people, it almost has to be measured by natural seeds, and ordinary people can't learn if they want to.

This is the whole human gene.

After severely criticizing Zhuge Jin's non-marriage again, the potter immediately resigned and left.

Hua Yan looked at Zhuge Jin with a regretful face, feeling very sorry for not reaching a marriage between the two families.

Seeing Hua Yan's wolf-like expression, Zhuge Jin's heart thumped in his chest.

This time he made up his mind, saying that he had to marry himself quickly!

is targeted by this tiger wolf-like woman, and I can't tell what stubble will come out when I look back.

He didn't want to really marry the sister of this Hanyue woman, and then never turn over, listening to their ghost-like laughter like "oh wahahaha" every day.

Out of the room of the inn, the potter suddenly stopped, and then said to the rest of the people: "I have something to talk to my second brother alone, you can wait outside the door for a while." ”

Then they agreed.

After everyone walked out of the door, the pottery merchant said to Tao Ying: "Second brother, after pacifying Nanchang this time, I will give a book to Wang Lang of Huiji County, Wang Lang was originally our Xuzhou Chinese, and it is not very difficult to convince him, so the land of the two counties is basically pacified...... You have already heard it just now, and I have sent someone to Fan County to show the Son of Heaven that you are the general of Fuyi Zhonglang, and let you be the governor of the vast land of the two southeastern counties, although there are only two counties, but in terms of geography, the two counties are larger than the two states...... And the further south, the less development, the weaker the influence of my Han, you must use both grace and power here, pacify Baiyue, and develop the southeast well. ”

Tao Ying nodded and said, "Big brother, I remember, I will make friends with the Baiyue of various ministries through the relationship between Hua Yan and his father." ”

The potter shook his head and said: "It's not enough to just make friends, you still have to find a way to show your strength, if you can't do it at the critical moment, you have to use force to suppress them. ”

Tao Ying was silent for a while when he heard this, frowning and not talking.

It's not that he doesn't want to speak, but the meaning expressed in the potter's words is really not what he is good at.

Seeing Tao Ying's restless appearance, Tao Shang smiled slightly and explained slowly for him:

"Conquer the heart of Baiyue, in addition to having a good relationship with them, and suppressing them with troops at critical moments - the most important thing is to clamp interests, you know, we Jinling City have three things that can allow you to occupy the commanding heights when you interact with Baiyue! That's salt, iron, grain! ”

Tao Ying suddenly realized when he heard the words, and then he understood what the pottery merchant meant.

"The reserves of salt in Huaipu Salt Mine and Jinling Iron Mine are very large, I can give you a part every year in order to appease Baiyue's affairs, but Jinling City does not have enough people to refine salt and iron for you now, and what Big Brother can supply you can only be raw salt and pig iron that have just come out of the mine and are unprocessed...... But that's not a bad thing. ”

Tao Ying has now also learned to draw inferences.

"What does the eldest brother mean is that I want to recruit people from Baiyue to assist in iron smelting and salt production in the county?"

The potter smiled and nodded: "That's right, you can divide a part of the finished product to the participating Baiyue tribes, one is to strengthen the communication between you through cooperation, and the other is to let them see the strength of our Tao salt and iron, so that they can admire it in their hearts, and this salt and iron are also what they need, but you can't overfeed them, but tell them that you only have a part of the salt and iron amount every year, let them come to you to fight, let them come to you to flatter, and flatter you, Hold you high! This is a kind of hunger marketing, just like doing business, the stronger the merchant, the tighter the supply chain, the more appeal to the collaborators. ”

Tao Ying nodded as if he didn't understand.

Salt and iron are the necessities of life that everyone needs, especially the southern border tribes like Baiyue, the demand is even more amazing, use this as a lifeblood to grasp them, and gradually subdue them, so that they can not do without Jinling Tao.

"I probably understand what the big brother means...... And what about grain? ”

The potter continued: "Jiangdong ploughs, grafted rice, as well as farmers and ploughing cattle who are good at grafting, I will send you a batch of them, so that you can develop and cultivate them here, and use them to recruit Baiyue...... However, for a region like the southeast that is not very well developed, I think the method of completely appropriating Jinling City and Hangzhou City is not applicable...... If Xu Jing could get the rice seeds of Champa rice from Jiaozhi, then things would be much easier in the future. ”

Tao Ying patted his chest with his hand and assured the potter: "I will definitely manage the south and consolidate the south for my eldest brother." ”

Tao Shang smiled with relief, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "I hope you have a good life to govern Nanzhou, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you can recruit more young people from Baiyue as a source of soldiers, then it will really be a big favor for the eldest brother." ”

Tao Ying nodded vigorously.

The pottery merchant snapped his fingers and counted them one by one: "Lu Dai, Wang Lang, Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin, Yan Baihu, Yan He, Liu Xuan...... There are also He Qi, Quan Rou, Kan Ze and others who are about to be recruited, I will leave them all to you as an arm, you have to treat them well, and you can't give up easily...... Especially Lu Dai! If there is a problem with him, consult with him. ”

"Don't worry, big brother!"

……

After the affairs of the southeast frontier were arranged, the pottery merchant wrote another letter to Wang Lang, asking him to help assist Tao Ying in presiding over the south from Huiji County.

After the affairs of Nanchang were arranged, the potter immediately found Pei Qian.

"Is there any news from Pei Jing recently?" The potter looked at Pei Qian and asked slowly.

"Yes! I have never lost contact! It's just that since our army entered the territory of Yuzhang, it has been fighting with Sun Ce, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and others, and there is no time for him to care, so his subordinates have always been cautious and cautious to tell the fourth brother to let him protect Wang Situ's safety and not to cause trouble. ”

Pei Qian, as one of the four personal bodyguards of the Tiger Guard pottery merchants, was ordered to lead a part of the Tiger Guards a year and a half ago, disguised as disguised, and was responsible for protecting Wang Yun's safety by his side.

At the thought of Wang Yun, the potter's head hurt a little.

If it weren't for his seriously ill father, the potter really didn't want to see the old fellow.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, and I don't know how far this old man has cultivated immortals.

I don't know if he can cross it?

"The master of immortal cultivation that Wang Yun followed is called Yu Ji, right?"

Pei Qian smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that it is an old Taoist who is nearly 100 years old, and he is very prestigious in the southeast. ”

The potter gently tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Where are they now?" I'd like to visit them. ”

"The site of Yuji's Taoist temple is currently in Dongxiang, which is subordinate to Nancheng."

The potter stroked his chin and nodded slightly, "Nancheng Dongxiang, is it?" Yes! After the affairs of Nanchang City were settled, the gifts were immediately prepared to go south, and Tao went to visit him in person. ”

Pei Qian looked at the potter suspiciously, and said, "Are you going to visit Wang Situ?" ”

"I'm going to visit the old gods...... As for Wang Yun, who cares about him! ”
