There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Hong sighed in admiration, and said with emotion: "What a genius!"

The pottery merchant smiled and said to Zhuge Liang: "Liang'er, if you want to visit or study the workshop in Jinling City, you can do it at any time if you want to come to the factory in Jinling City. Zhang Gong, you can open a road guide for this child later, allowing him to come in and out." Any official workshop in Jinling."

Zhang Hong didn't dare to neglect, and immediately nodded, "No."

Seeing that the pottery merchant was so reasonable, Zhuge Liang was overjoyed at the moment.

The potter squatted down, put away his smile, and said to Zhuge Liang seriously: "Of course, making inventions is making inventions, and I am not allowed to leave other homework...and making inventions must be targeted, what? Lubansuo, you should not do it in the future, learn more and memorize more quickly, and teach the master to tinker with things like Yuanrong crossbow and wooden cow and horse, do you understand?"

Zhuge Liang was a little dizzy from being tricked by the potter, looked at the potter for no reason, and wondered: "Teacher, what is a Yuanrong crossbow? What kind of object is a wooden ox and a horse?"

The potter began to guide slowly, opening up Zhuge Liang's thinking.

"The so-called Yuanrong crossbow, to put it bluntly, is a continuous crossbow! It is a heavy crossbow with a semi-automatic mechanical principle. It uses the so-called mechanism technique. It can shoot ten crossbow arrows at a time. The kind of firepower! As for the wooden cow and horse... I don't know what it is, it may be a mountain grain truck, it may be a unicycle, or it may be all kinds of weird things, anyway, it's up to you to make it! "

Zhuge Liang stared at the potter in a daze, completely unaware that Shicai was still such a gentle teacher, and at this moment he would actually make such a rude request.

You don't even know what it is, you want me to be a bird?

……

……

A few days later, Tao Ying finally arrived at Jinling City.

At this time, Jinling City, after nearly seven months of development, has undergone earth-shaking changes. The construction of its Chengguo, the expansion of rural wheat fields, the introduction of technology, the development of salt and iron, and the income and expenditure of money and grain are enough. Ranked the leader of the counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

On the way to the sheriff's mansion, Tao Ying was already stunned by astonishment.

It never occurred to him that in his heart, it should have been a place where no shit would happen, but his elder brother had repaired it into such a magnificent city.

This is really the power of good fortune that surpasses the world, the pure power of ghosts and gods!

Brother, you are so talented!

When he arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion, the potter was waiting for him at the door.

"Second brother!"

The pottery merchant greeted him with a smile.

"Big brother!"

Tao Ying was also full of tears, and quickly walked up to the potter.

The two brothers reunited after a long absence, and their four hands were tightly clenched together.

"Brother..." Tao Ying was very excited. At this moment, she didn't know what to say to her brother.

But the Tao merchant first raised his hand to stop Tao Ying's words, then suddenly reached out, took out a ruler from behind, and hit Tao Ying hard on the head.

Poor Mr. Tao Er immediately had a big bump on his head.

Tao Ying was stunned!

"Brother, you? Why are you hitting me?!"

The pottery merchant sighed, took out another scroll of bamboo slips from his bosom, and handed it to Tao Ying.

Tao Ying opened it to look, but saw that the handwriting on it was very familiar, it was a letter from his own father Tao Qian to his elder brother Tao Shang.

On the family letter, the old man Tao Qian wrote uprightly: "Zidu my son: Ying'er, this child is really not up to date, and when he left, he was so angry with the old man. The old man was melancholy and stayed up all night, thinking about it Going to feel aggrieved, and the bad breath is really hard to calm down, so I took the pen to write this secret order in the middle of the night, and when Ying'er arrives at Jinling City, you should teach him as your elder brother, and repay your father tonight Sleepless Hate—Father, written by Qian Zhi."

Tao Ying's face became stiff instantly.

He wrote a letter home in the middle of the night, and sent someone to send it to the pottery before he arrived in Jinling City, just to let the pottery teach him a lesson?

This father is really no one anymore.

Tao Shang said with emotion: "Second brother, don't blame brother, I was also forced by my father."

Tao Ying lowered his head, and said aggrievedly: "I rule the world with filial piety, what elder brother did... yes."

After the lesson was over, Tao Shang and Tao Ying brothers walked into the hall, Tao Shang retreated to the left and right, and had a private conversation with Tao Ying alone.

First, he consulted about Tao Qian's physical condition and Xuzhou's current situation. After knowing that everything was fine in Xuzhou, the Tao merchant immediately returned to the topic.

"Second brother, you are not young anymore. It's time to become an official and help my father and me deal with family affairs. Now there are strong enemies on all sides, and there are Zang Ba and Ruo Rong who are independent. , but in fact, it is all for our own interests. If there is turmoil, it is hard to believe it. Our Tao family is here, it can be said that it is a troubled time. One more person of our own is more security. This time let you come Jinling City is also specially speaking to my father for my brother."

Tao Ying nodded his head half-understood, and said, "Whatever Big Brother tells me to do, then I will do it!"

"Good brother, with your words, my brother will let go of his heart."

Although Tao Ying was a bit more innocent, he was not purely mentally handicapped after all. He knew in his heart that his father and elder brother brought him to Jinling City not only for the sake of the Tao family, but also not just for the sake of having one more person in the Tao family. People help them contain the Xuzhou gentry, and more importantly, they also have a heart that wants to make themselves successful.

Tao Ying is seventeen this year. Although he doesn't like it, he also knows that sooner or later he won't be able to escape this day.

The path of becoming an official is a fate that I can't escape no matter what.

"Brother, what kind of official position do you want younger brother to have?" Tao Ying finally asked after making up his mind.

Since you can't avoid it, let the storm be more violent.

Looking at Tao Ying's expectant eyes, the pottery merchant weighed all the locations in Jinling City, and then spoke slowly after a while.

"In today's Danyang County, there are Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, and our elder brother Tao Ji, a total of four military lords, but there is still a lack of a governor and town general... I think this is the reason. , appoint a governor who is in charge of all the generals."

When Tao Ying heard this, he couldn't help being excited.

Governor?

Big brother... This is to let myself be the head of Xu Chu, Xu Huang and others!

I have never been in contact with military affairs and political affairs, so I will take on such a big job as soon as I come up, okay?

"Big, big brother...wouldn't this be too hasty?" Tao Ying's tone stammered, obviously a little excited.

The pottery merchant thought about it seriously, shook his head and said: "I think it's okay, this is also after my deliberation, it's not rash, this governor will be elected later...Second brother, don't be picky, just give it to the brother first." Be a follower."

Tao Ying: "..."

Chapter 2 Huangfusong's Wish

After the potter finished his sentence, he heard all the voices in the hall, all the voices seemed to be silent for a moment, and he could only hear the "squeak" bird call from the treetops in the yard outside from time to time. Voices.

As a follower? ...Isn't he the governor?

Tao Ying was a little out of balance at the moment.
