There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

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

"Father, my child doesn't really support your opinion."

Tao Qian didn't realize that his son had so many thoughts and opinions today: "What do you mean by my son's words?"

The potter said for a while: "Father, since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the imperial court's control over the local area has been greatly reduced. Now Dong Zhuo is usurping the government. The emperor is young, and the power of prefects and governors in various places has begun to rise. According to my child, Regardless of whether the campaign against Dong Zhuo succeeds or fails, soon after, the local power in the Kanto region will inevitably begin to expand, and the local aristocratic families will inevitably start to lean towards different princes in order to seek perfection in the chaos. At this juncture, we in Xuzhou want to If we want to protect ourselves, we must continue to expand our strength, which includes both our own strength and prestige."

Tao Qian's eyes began to become round. In fact, although these words were reasonable, if they were strange, they were not so strange, but Tao Qian never thought that these words came from the mouth of a pottery merchant.

Is it possible that wiping your ass with official documents can also wipe out wisdom?The old man has to secretly try to wipe it another day.

"My son continues to talk, it doesn't matter if you have anything to say."

The Tao 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 talents in this crusade alliance, we will definitely get the support of the Yonghan family. Stabilizing Xuzhou is of great benefit."

The potter searched his brains and scratched his head, and finally managed to complete what he had said.

"My son, who taught you this?"

Pottery: ""

What a father who has no business, you are almost on fire. You don't care who said this, the mouth on the buttocks can be pulled out no matter how big it is.

"Father, if I said this myself, would you believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it." Tao Qian said firmly.

Even my own father can't believe it, I really should pull the soul of my predecessor back into the body and give him three hundred big boards to let him reflect on it.

"Then dad thinks who said this?"

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

The pottery merchant nodded and said, "That's what Mi Zhu said."

Tao Qian's face turned dark: ""

It is indeed a bit too obvious to be perfunctory. Is this child stupid to be his own father?

"Nizi, get out!"

The second truth that potters learned when they came to this world is that people who can leave their names in history books must be much better than ordinary people. Compared with the princes, it is considered mediocre, but compared with the common people, the common people are more stupid.

Such a person can't just be perfunctory, at least he can't be fooled by him as an idiot.

Through the conversation just now, the Tao merchant knew that although what he said had touched Tao Qian a little, after all, his predecessor had never been involved in political affairs, and Tao Qian could not trust him.

Judging from Tao Qian's current performance, he wants to attack Dong Zhuo this time by using a method of doing nothing but working hard, and he needs to find a way to change his thinking.

The same words, spoken from different people's mouths, will definitely have different effects.

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

Mi Zhu, Zhao Yu, and Wang Lang seemed to need these three people to persuade Tao Qian.

When the pottery merchant came to the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, a fat man with a red face and a plain dress immediately came forward and bowed to greet him.

The fragmented memory in the Tao merchant's mind made him recognize that this is Tao Hong, the boss of the mansion, who has followed Tao Qian for many years.

"My lord, the carriage is ready. Are you going on an outing today, or hunting your favorite rabbit?"

The potter pursed his lips, looking at the promise of his predecessor: Tigers can't be hunted, but foxes, wolves, and deer can't be hunted? I have to hunt rabbits, and I like them the most.

"Don't go about your business today, prepare the car and take me to Mi Zhu's residence."

The boss manager seemed a little bit unbelievable after hearing this: "Young master, Sun and Zhou have invited you to go on an outing to sing poetry for several days in a row. You have never delayed this matter before."

"People, you have to learn to make more friends and make new friends!" The pottery merchant smiled and patted the boss on the shoulder: "Today, I will let the two of them dove. Let's go to Mi Zhu's mansion."

The boss looked at the potter with a confused look in his eyes, but he couldn't help but obey.

"Eldest son, although Mr. Mi recognizes you, but it is only a close acquaintance, and you have never had any contact with him. It may be like this. The old man prepared a few gifts, and Zhuo Ren first sent them in your name, and then paid homage to the mansion. , but it doesn't seem too abrupt."

The pottery merchant nodded, saying that Tao Hong is quite good at handling things, as it is human nature.

"Okay, then I will trouble Uncle Hong, and prepare another greeting card, and send it along with the gift, just say that I am a pottery merchant, so that people can prepare for it."

The boss frowned when he heard the words, and said: "Eldest son, although you are not an official, but after all, you are the eldest son of the governor, and it is a bit too humble to send a post to Mi Zhu."

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

After all, if you are looking for someone else to do something, it is not yet time to lower your posture and pretend to be aggressive.

Mi Zhu is a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou and the owner of the Mi family. His ancestors have been farming for generations, and his family wealth exceeds [-] million. To put it bluntly, he is a powerful landlord. Although Tao Qian is the governor of Xuzhou, he has only been in office for two years. The family must be the object of his wooing, so as soon as he took office, he immediately appointed Mi Zhu to work as the other driver.

The so-called don't engage in business, to put it bluntly, if Tao Qian is a high-ranking official, Mi Zhu is like the secretary-general of the provincial party committee.

Xuzhou, Mi Mansion.

In the middle of the hall, there was a gift from a potter. Standing beside him was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties. It is also clean and spotless, and it looks like a very self-disciplined person.

Mi Zhu's eyes were fixed on the gifts in the hall. He didn't care much about these gifts. After all, Mi's family was wealthy, and there were only a handful of people who could be richer than him in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty. These things really couldn't catch his eyes .

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

The eldest son of Lord Inspector, Mi Zhu, of course knew him. Two years ago, Tao Qian had just entered Xuzhou, recruited four powerful men into office, and helped him gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou. Mi Zhu was one of them.

Using the deep foundation of the Mi family in Xuzhou as capital to support Tao Qian, Mi Zhu's condition is that he promises to benefit from his position.

The bigger the business, the bigger the political background.

As the so-called mutual benefit, Mi Zhu felt that he and Tao Qian made a very good deal.

Of course, every businessman hopes to do business for a longer period of time. Mi Zhu is a genius among businessmen. He hopes to continue the business of the Mi family and the Tao family, not just Tao Qian's generation. , and his next generation, it is best to make this deal so that the children and grandchildren will be endless.

Ever since, Mi Zhu set his eyes on Tao Qian's two young masters, hoping to make friends with them, which can be regarded as paving the way for the future.

The problem is, Mi Zhu was disappointed after only contacting him three or two times.

How can Tao Qian's son say, it's his mother's weakness and wisdom!

His two sons are not only dull and rigid, they are stupid and don't talk about it, they don't seek to make progress day by day. chase dog

Anyway, he is not a person who does business!

After finding out the details of the two sons of the Tao family, Mi Zhu gave up the need to continue investing in these two boys. He is a businessman, and a businessman only pays attention to projects that can produce returns.

Tao Qian is a good project, but his two sons are scumbags.
