"Oh wow~~ hahahaha!" Upon hearing this, Hua'er's face, like the king of hell's, suddenly burst into laughter, and the goosebumps of everyone in the hall, except Tao Ying, laughed off.

"Brother really asked the right person! My sister really has a sister with the same breasts, so I can introduce you to this young master!"

The pottery merchant suddenly said "Oh", and said, "How is Lingmei's beauty?"

"Oh wow~~ hahahaha! Beauty is not inferior to me!"

The pottery merchant clapped his hands heavily, and said with emotion: "Great! That's the decision! Zhuge Jin, I, as the current Taifu, will marry you, and I will marry Hua'er, a sister who is as graceful as her—— Married to you!"

When Zhuge Jin heard this, her legs went limp, and she almost collapsed on the ground. Looking at Hua'er's yaksha-like face, her lips trembled vigorously.

"The old man disagrees!" Zhuge Xuan jumped his feet anxiously: "You are intimidating! You are threatening! You are bullying!"

"Joke! Who bullied you!" The pottery merchant rolled his eyes and argued with reason: "Zhuge Jin has violated the court law for many years, and Tao called him once because of this matter four years ago, and he had already given him one time at that time." Opportunity! I didn’t expect him to be taught repeatedly and dare not, and still stubbornly resist! Your Zhuge family really treats my big man’s national law as a decoration? I have appointed this marriage today! No one can stop it... Taifu Tao pointed out Marriage, who dare not obey?"

Hua'er clapped her hands vigorously: "Oh wow~hahahaha! Very good, very good! My sister must really like this young man!"

Zhuge Jin cried out in fright, and tried to hide behind the helpless Zhuge Liang.

While hiding, he yelled, "I'm not married! I'm not married!"

Xu Chu stared, strode forward, and pulled Zhuge Jin out of Zhuge Liang's back like a chicken, and said angrily: "Stinky boy! How dare you refuse the marriage that the master gave you? Are you tired of living?" Come on you!"

Zhuge Jin wailed loudly: "I'm just tired of living! If I die, I won't get married!"

"Hmph! Do you want to die? That's impossible! Die after entering the bridal chamber!" Xu Chu said without any human touch.

The potter turned his head and pointed at Zhuge Xuan: "Hua'er's younger sister is the daughter of the leader of Hanyue. Her status is not low. After you get married, you have to take half of your Zhuge family's property as a dowry!"

Zhuge Xuan stared at the potter in a daze, then at Zhuge Jin who was crying and making a fuss, his nose twitched, and two lines of old tears immediately flowed down.

You really shouldn't pretend to be aggressive with pottery!What's the difference between that and pumping your own mouth?

"Teacher, what is your request just now, the old man promises you." Zhuge Xuan reluctantly began to give in.

The pottery merchant smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhuge, don't force yourself?"

"Don't force it, don't force it! This old man did his part, so he recommended himself!"

Chapter 4 Eleven

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

Tao Shang taught him a principle of life: Some people are destined to be bullied by others from birth. This is not a matter of status, but a gap between IQ and personality.

The prince will be Ning, Ning have a kind?This is true.

But between a hypocrite and an honest person, it almost depends on the natural kind to measure, and ordinary people can't learn it if they want to.

This is the whole human gene.

After severely criticizing Zhuge Jin for not getting married again, the pottery merchant left immediately.

Hua'er looked at Zhuge Jin with regret, and felt very sorry that the marriage between the two families had not been reached.

Seeing Hua'er's wolf-like expression, Zhuge Jin's heart was pounding in his chest.

This time, he made up his mind that no matter what he said, he had to marry himself as soon as possible!

Being stared at by this tiger-like woman, it's hard to tell what will happen later.

He didn't want to really marry the sister of this Hanyue woman, and then he would never be able to stand up again, listening to their "oh wow ha ha ha" laughter like ghosts every day.

After leaving the post house room, the pottery merchant suddenly stopped, and then said to the rest of the people: "I have something to talk to my second brother alone, you all wait outside the door for a while."

Everyone agreed immediately.

After everyone walked out of the door, the pottery merchant said to Tao Ying: "Second brother, after Nanchang is pacified this time, I will write a letter to Wang Lang in Kuaiji County. Wang Lang was originally from our Xuzhou, so it is not difficult to convince him. , so that the land of the two counties is basically settled... You have heard it just now. I have sent people to Fan County to tell the emperor that you are the general of Fuyi Zhonglang, and let you governor the Guangbo of the two southeastern counties. Although there are only two counties in this land, geographically speaking, the two counties are larger than the two states... and the further south you go, the less development you have, and the weaker the influence of my big man. You must be kind when you are here Use power together to control Baiyue and develop the southeast."

Tao Ying nodded and said: "Brother, I remember, I will make good friends with Baiyue from various ministries through the relationship between Hua'er and his father."

The pottery merchant shook his head and said: "It's not enough just to be friendly, you 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, as the saying goes, using both kindness and power, benefit-induced, You have to make them inseparable from the support of our Dow, rely on us from the bottom of their hearts, and complement each other, so that the entire southeast can be peaceful."

Tao Ying was silent for a while, frowning and didn't answer.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk, but the meaning expressed in the potter's words is really not his specialty.

Seeing Tao Ying's uneasy look, the Tao merchant smiled slightly and explained to him slowly:

"To subdue the hearts of Baiyue, in addition to making good relations with them and suppressing them with military force at critical moments - the most important thing is to restrain interests. As you know, we have three things in Jinling City that allow you to interact with those in Baiyue. When the time comes, occupy the commanding heights! That is salt, iron, and grain!"

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

"The Huaipu Salt Mine has a large reserve of salt and the Jinling Iron Mine. I can give you a part of it every year to appease Baiyue, but Jinling City doesn't have enough people to refine salt and iron for you, big brother. What can be supplied to you can only be unprocessed raw salt and pig iron just out of the mine... But this is not a bad thing."

Tao Ying has also learned to draw inferences from one example.

"Brother, do you want me to recruit people from Baiyue to help the county make iron and salt?"

The potter nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, you can distribute a part of the finished product to the participating Baiyue tribes. One is to strengthen communication between you through cooperation, and the other is to let them know about our Dow Salt. The richness of iron makes them feel admiration from the bottom of their hearts, and this is what they need, but you can't feed them too much, but tell Baiyue every year that you only have a part of the amount of salt and iron , let them come to you to compete, let them come to you to flatter you, a moment to flatter you, and hold you high! This is a kind of hunger marketing, just like doing business, the greater the strength Merchants, tightening the supply chain, the more appealing to partners."

Tao Ying nodded half understanding.

Salt and iron are the necessities of life for everyone, especially for the southern border tribes like Baiyue. The demand is even more amazing. Use this as their lifeline and gradually subdue them, making them inseparable from Jinling Dow.

"Brother, I probably understand... what about the food?"

The potter continued: "Jiangdong plow, grafted rice, as well as farmers who are good at grafting, cattle, etc., I will send you a batch, let you develop and cultivate here, and use it to recruit Baiyue... But for Southeast This kind of area is not very well developed. I think the method of completely appropriating Jinling City and Hangzhou City is not applicable... If Xu Jing can get Champa rice seeds from Jiaozhi, then things will be much easier in the future .”

Tao Ying patted his chest with his hands, and assured the potter, "I will manage the south well and consolidate the south for my elder brother."

The pottery merchant smiled gratifiedly, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "I hope you can govern Nanzhou well. If you have the opportunity in the future, recruit more young and strong men from Baiyue as a source of soldiers, then you will really tie the big brother up." Very busy."

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 Yu, Liu Yao... and He Qi, Quan Rou, Kan Ze and others who are about to be recruited." , I leave it all to you as your arm, you have to treat them kindly, don't give up easily... especially Lu Dai! If you have any embarrassing things, you can consult with him."

"Don't worry, big brother!"

……

The southeast frontier affairs were properly arranged, and the pottery merchant wrote another letter to Wang Lang, asking him to help Tao Ying manage the south in Kuaiji County.

After the affairs in Nanchang were properly arranged, the pottery merchant immediately found Pei Qian.

"Is there any news about Pei Jing recently?" The pottery merchant looked at Pei Qian and asked slowly.

"Yes! We have never lost contact! It's just that since our army entered Yuzhang territory, we have been fighting with Sun Ce, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and others, and have no time for others. To protect Wang Situ's safety, don't stir up trouble."
