There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"Are you serious?"

The potter raised his head, squinted at Liu Yao, shook his fist and said, "It's almost done! Are you taking advantage of me?"

Liu Yao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and sighed: "Actually, there are some things that I can't ignore. This is the way it is in a world of great controversy. How can anyone be right and who is wrong? Compared with other things Prince, you are indeed very benevolent. Liu has lived in Jinling City for the past two years. Looking at the changes in Jinling City day after day, he understands your painstaking efforts. Governance is so prosperous, but your methods against me are really harsh."

The pottery merchant laughed when he heard this.

Anyway, Liu Yao still has some foresight and some advantages.

At least he is much better than those high-spirited gentry princes with high eyes, and he can clearly understand his position.

Moreover, during Liu Yao's tenure in history, he was indeed extremely clean and famous, and his reputation in the local area was much stronger than that of Sun Ce. The reason why he did not compete with Sun Ce was that his army was too weak.

In terms of governing the region and treating the people well, Liu Yao is better than Sun Ce.

"Mr. Zhengli, Tao has already made a decision. After the counties of Yangzhou are calmed down this time, you will be appointed as the head of the two counties in Biannan. At that time, you will represent me and introduce the development of Jinling City's political strategy to the general public. Going deep in the south, promoting it in the southeast coastal areas, allowing you to show off your talents, can also be regarded as a way of expressing Tao's guilt towards you."

Liu Yao frowned, wondering, "Why do you feel like you've been assigned?"

The potter's face turned black: "If you don't want to, then I'll leave you here to stamp the official seal."

Liu Yao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no! Yes, actually this is a good thing, Mr. Liu is very grateful to you."

Although I don't know whether the "guilt" that the pottery merchant said just now is true or not, but Liu Yao's ears are very useful to him.

According to the normal means of the princes, after the puppet is useless, it is likely to be disposed of.

However, the potter's behavior gave Liu Yao hope.

At least, he still had a heart and didn't take his own life.

This kid really lived up to the name of a gentleman.

But the place he let himself go to was indeed a bit noisy.

Thinking of the descendants of Baiyue and Fujian people in the south of Yangzhou, Liu Yao felt a headache.

He stroked his beard, thought carefully for a while, and then said to the pottery merchant: "If you really want someone from Liu to help you, you might as well send someone to be my assistant, so that someone like Liu can help you." Only when the south implements policies to appease Baiyue can we be steadfast and courageous."

Tao Shang raised his eyebrows: "The deputy you want is Tai Shici, right? I'm sorry, but this person is not good. He is my sworn brother, and I still have heavy responsibilities. I can't leave him in the south."

Liu Yao stared: "Tai Shi Ziyi has become your elder brother? When did you become sworn brothers? This is really a miracle in the world! But the person Liu wants is not him."

The pottery merchant heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Then who do you want?"

Liu Yao finally showed a rare smile: "When Liu was living in Huaipu, he knew that there was a man in Hailing County, who was from an official family. His surname was Lu Mingdai. He used to be a county official. Talent can be my arm, if I get this person's help, Liu will promise you to help you promote the executives in Yuzhang County and Kuaiji County."

Tao Shang looked at Liu Yao quietly, and was suddenly happy.

Liu Yao is quite narcissistic. If Tao can get Lu Dai, I don't think I need you anymore.

"Since Lord Zhengli admires Lu Dai so much, he must be familiar with him, right?"

Liu Yao nodded solemnly and said: "It's natural, someone Liu should know him, otherwise how could he recommend him at will?"

"Then I don't know where this person is now?"

Liu Yao chuckled and said, "This person is currently in Tutang, not far away."

According to Liu Yao's instructions, the officials from Taoshang's school office found Lu Dai and solemnly invited him to Jinling City.

Lu Dai is over [-] years old and looks thin. At first glance, he has a strong personality and self-discipline, and he is more rigid in his work.

Lu Dai was very surprised by the summoning of the pottery merchant.

Although he was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, his family was not a very large family among the gentry groups in the southeast, and he himself was only a small official at first. When it comes to identity and status, he is far from a potter. Able to send someone to find him in person.

But that's what potters do.

Hearing that the pottery merchant wanted to conquer Yuzhang County and Kuaiji County in the south, and that he planned to let him help him appease the Baiyue tribe in the south of Lingnan after the war, Lu Dai pondered for a while before saying to the pottery merchant:

"The Taifu was recommended by Mr. Liu. It is a great honor for me. The Baiyue tribe in the southeast has a large population. Most of them are not registered in the local household registration. Many of them are short of taxes. It is really a major deficiency in my dynasty. The arrangement and layout of Baiyue's ministries, and formed to belong to Wanghua's orthodoxy, and registered in the register, will be a huge supplement for future taxation and military replenishment. However, Baiyue has repeatedly rebelled, and it will not be an overnight effort to completely gather them together. With the power of the next person, I'm afraid there will be no danger, and I would like to recommend a few people to help the Taifu complete this grand event, I wonder if the Taifu is willing to accept it?"

The potter heard this and laughed.

"One end counts as another, I want it all!"

Lu Dai was stunned when he heard this.

head?

Chapter 383 Zhuge Liannu

The people Lu Dai recommended to the potter were He Qi, Quan Rou, and Kan Ze.

Of course, the potter knew all three of them.

Now with Lu Dai's recommendation, potters are naturally more willing to hire.

Kan Ze was a young man from a poor family, and he has been farming for generations. He borrowed and copied books from others all the year round, so he was very knowledgeable.

He Qi is from Shanyin. He is currently a county magistrate of Shan County, and he is Wang Lang's direct subordinate. After the potters took over Kuaiji County from Wang Lang this time, they planned to promote him.

After all, in the history of Soochow Wu, whether against Wei or Shanyue, He Qi had experienced hundreds of battles and made countless contributions. He was a rare important minister and good general in Wu.

Quan Rou was Xiao Lian during Emperor Xiao Ling's time. He is currently the captain of Kuaiji East in Yangzhou, and also belongs to Wang Lang's subordinates. In addition, the potters are concerned about things. He also has a son named Quan Cong.

The pottery merchant appointed Lu Dai as the captain of Dingnan, and went south with him to conquer the counties of Yangzhou.

But before going south, there are two more people whom the potter needs to meet.

That is his two apprentices, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang.

It's been a long time since I saw each other, and I don't know how the two children's studies are doing.

Although potters are their nominal masters, there are really limited things they can teach them, and the time they can teach them is really limited.

However, the potters spared no expense in hiring famous teachers of the six arts from all over the south of the Yangtze River to educate the two children.

Of course, as a time-traveling person, the potter doesn't pay much attention to the ancient art industry, and he prefers to let the two children develop their subjective initiative.

Time flies, and in a flash, Zhuge Liang is already fourteen years old, while Sima Yi is fifteen years old.

Back then, the two bouncing boys were now half-grown boys.

When I met the two children, they had improved their schoolwork to a very high level.

Sure enough, they are all born to be masters.
