There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Sima Hui raised his wine cup and said to the potter, "Young Master Taiping can say such words, which is enough to deserve this title."

The potter held up a cup to drink with him.

Sima Hui turned to look at Zhuge Liang, and said, "This one, could it be the Crouching Dragon that Mr. Taiping said?"

Zhuge Liang's face turned red all of a sudden.

He bowed to Sima Yi, and said, "I have seen Mr. Liang, the name of Wolong is just a joke of the teacher, I really dare not take it."

Sima Yi smiled and said: "Wolong, Fengchu, well, at the beginning, Lord Pang De had already nicknamed his nephew Pang Tong Fengchu, but he really didn't want to be taken the lead by Mr. Taiping. Because of this, Mr. Pang De didn't fall asleep for several days. The young master is in Qufu, and Mr. Pang De is in Xiangyang. If it is said that he copied the young master's idea, the two places are thousands of miles away, and there is always something wrong. But if it is a coincidence, this is too coincidental? This matter is in my heart I have been hiding for more than two years, and today I am here to ask Mr. Taiping for advice."

The pottery merchant held back his joy: "Is this the case? It seems that it's just God's will in the dark, it's just a coincidence!"

He secretly thought that I actually copied him, but who made me say it first?

The one with the surname Pang will suffer from being dumb, what can I do?

Everyone ate fish and drank wine for a while, and the potter immediately said: "I came to see you today, and I mainly want to ask for something, and I ask you to agree."

Sima Hui seemed to have guessed what the pottery merchant was going to say, and said, "My lord wants to recruit Jingzhou's heroes through me?"

Chapter 852 The Ma Brothers

In fact, what Sima Hui said was right. Pottery merchants came to visit him, and they naturally needed something. Eating and drinking at a husband's house in a mountain village?

Could it be that the mansion of the great man can't afford fish?That's all it takes?Give me a break!

Sima Huiben is very human, and he is naturally aware of the potter's request for coming here today.

In all honesty, Sima Hui didn't want to get involved in these specific political affairs. He always liked to be quiet and not to move, to be idle and not to be busy, and to be comfortable and not to worry.

But in such a world, when faced with the supreme power, sometimes there is no choice but to make some concessions.

After being silent for a while, Sima Hui finally spoke, "I would like to hear about the policy for governing the state formulated by the prime minister after Jingchu was pacified."

The pottery merchant probably guessed that Sima Huihui would ask this question, and then said: "I can't say too many specific policies for a while, but the basics are naturally focusing on water conservancy, enriching agricultural production, recuperating, and promoting population."

"What about the way of employing people? Will the appointment of the gentry in Jingzhou be different from that of the gentry in Yangzhou?"

The pottery merchant was taken aback when he heard the words, and then couldn't help laughing secretly.

Sure enough, the so-called celebrities are just pretending on the surface. In the final analysis, they still have deep feelings for the future interests of the gentry groups in the state and county where they live.

It is also human nature.

"The gentry of Jingzhou and the gentry of Yangzhou naturally do not distinguish between superior and inferior, and use their talents according to their ability."

Sima Hui said indifferently: "Why do you think so?"

The potter returned to Sima Hui very naturally: "To be honest, Cai Mao has been appointed as Zuo Zhonglang by the imperial court, and Mr. Zhou Ping and Gongwei. The post of the county guard, the land of Jingzhou, has to be governed properly by the people of Jingzhou."

Hearing this, Sima Hui stared quietly at the potter, looking at him so seriously for a long, long time.

When I was young, I saw Sima Huichang sighed, nodded and said: "The general is indeed a straightforward person. Since he has spoken so thoroughly, I naturally have to recommend him to the prime minister."

When the potter heard the words, his heart suddenly settled down.

With Sima Wei in the lead, some great sages in Jingzhou can naturally be included in the bag.

The pottery merchant winked at Cui Jun who was beside him.

But Cui Jun hurriedly said: "Sir, although Gongwei and I have belonged to the prime minister, Xu Yuanzhi and Shi Guangyuan fell into the mud by mistake and refused to turn back. Please think of a way to persuade the two of you, sir." People get out of the cage of tigers and wolves early"

What he said was filled with righteous indignation and impassioned, but in fact he asked Sima Wei to help him and persuade Xu Shu and Shi Tao to become two or five sons and rebel against Liu Bei to come under the command of the pottery merchant.

From Sima Hui's point of view, listening to this matter, of course, he felt that something was wrong.

What is this?What do you take me for?

Riding on Sima Hui and bowing his head in meditation, the potter said to him: "Mr. Sima, in view of the current situation in the counties of the Han Dynasty, I want to promote official schools in all states and counties. I heard that when Liu Biao was alive, the official schools in Jingzhou were always run by the Kuai brothers. But Kuai Yue died in the previous battle of Xiangyang. I think that this Jingzhou official school, no matter who the instructor is, should also have a highly respected presider. This person must not only have knowledge, but also win Jingzhou. All the gentry are convinced, Tao Mou thinks about it, and only you can do it."

When Sima Hui heard this, his eyes lit up.

But soon, he showed a embarrassed look: "Young Master Taiping is planning for the world. Although it is good to rebuild the official school, it's just that the old man is used to idle clouds and wild cranes. He suddenly asked me to be the host of the official schools of the counties in Jingzhou. This is a bit fake."

The pottery merchant naturally understood what Sima Hui was thinking. This old guy lived like a fairy every day, as comfortable as he could be. If he was suddenly given such a job and took up his time, he would naturally be a little hesitant. .

The potter said with a smile: "Of course, I do this just to borrow Mr. Shui Jing's name. Naturally, others will do the actual handling and trivial matters in the official school. Mr. Shui Jing lives as he usually does. , don’t worry about these things.”

The words of the pottery merchant had reached Sima Hui's heart, and the old man was completely at ease now.

Having gained fame without having to work, this business is truly worthy.

It's good to be a celebrity.

Sima Hui is also a very particular person about the so-called reciprocation.

"Shicai, according to Mr. Taiping, it seems that he wants to join forces with Sha Moke, the leader of Wuxi barbarians in Wuling County?"

The potter nodded and said, "Exactly. It's just that I haven't found a suitable candidate yet, so I feel a little worried and don't know what to do. This matter is related to the great cause of the unification of the Han Dynasty, so I have to consider it carefully."

Sima Hui smiled and said: "Actually, this matter is not difficult. I recommend someone who can represent the imperial court and persuade Sha Moke."

"who?"

Sima Hui said: "I know a man who is from Yicheng, Xiangyang, and his name is Ma Liang. There is a saying in Xiangyang that he is the Wuchang of the Ma family, and the white eyebrows are the best. Feng has a lot of study and quick thinking, if he goes to persuade Sha Moke on behalf of the imperial court, it will surely succeed."

The potter was very happy after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, Sima Hui would be able to recommend Ma Liang to him. This is really an unexpected harvest!

Sima Hui wrote a letter and gave it to the pottery merchant. The pottery merchant immediately sent someone to hold the letter and went to Yicheng to invite Ma Liang with generous gifts.

If you travel by water, the speed is very fast. In less than three days, Ma Liang and his younger brother Ma Di came to Jiangxia to meet the potters.

As expected, Ma Liang's eyebrows were both white, as in the legend, but his eyebrows were both thick and raised, which looked very strange.

The pottery merchant looked at it and thought to himself; this is the White-Browed Eagle King.

"I have seen the Prime Minister."

"Mr. Ji Chang, you don't need to make too many examples!" The potter said hurriedly, "I've heard about Mr.'s name for a long time, and I just wish I could meet him. Now, I'm recommended by Mr. Shui Jing. I'm very fortunate to have a chance at last."

"The prime minister really praised him too much, I am ashamed and dare not take it."

Tao Shang said: "Now the south has not been completely pacified. I will first hire Mr. Jingzhou to work for Jingzhou. After Jingchu is completely conquered in the future, I will reward you for your merits."

Ma Liang was very easy-going, and thanked the potter with his hand.
