Liu Bei's eyes were also red, he sighed, stood up, arched his hand at Cao Cao, and said: "Brother Mengde's words are very true, things have come to such a point, we have nothing to care about, and now Bei is just this body of flesh and skin, Yun Chang is dead, if I, as a brother, can't muster all my strength to avenge my brother, it will really be in vain." ”

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother Xuandexian, the potters have occupied Chengdu, blocking the back road of our waiting, and now the grain road in our rear has been broken, if we continue to hold on to the Sword Pavilion, I am afraid that the result will be a certain death."

Liu Bei got up and said, "What does Brother Meng De mean?" ”

Cao Cao snorted and said: "The left and right are already like this, then you might as well fight him, fight him, let's gather all our military strength, quickly return to the past, storm Fushui Pass, if we can really kill Chengdu in one go, kill the potter, it is not in vain that we fight." ”

After Liu Bei listened, he thought carefully for a long time before he nodded and said, "This is very good, potter, I must kill him to avenge my second brother." ”

……

At the same time, the potters in Chengdu were sorting out the volumes in the city, and carefully understanding the livelihood of the people in Chengdu, and the tax revenue and grain production of Junjun County, the plain of Chengdu.

"There are 73,000 households and a population of nearly 400,000, but with one city, it can reach such a population, which is worthy of being the leading city in the southwest."

The potter looked at the watch book and praised it at the same time, and at the same time scanned Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Liu Ba, Li Hui, Qin Mi and others below with his eyes......

These people kept their heads down and kept silent.

Tao Shang smiled slightly, and didn't care, he put down the household registration book in his hand, and said: "Since you have joined the imperial court with Liu Jiyu, then you will be the courtiers of the Han Dynasty in the future, that is, Tao's colleagues, between our colleagues, there is nothing wrong with saying it, there is no need to hide it, there is anything unhappy in your heart, but it is okay to say it." ”

The crowd still bowed their heads and did not answer.

The potter seemed to be indifferent, and said: "If you don't answer, it doesn't matter, but no matter what, we will govern Shu land in the future, if everyone has a gap in each other's hearts, I am afraid that this land of abundance may not be able to govern well, I hope you all have a good thought in your hearts." ”

When Huang Quan heard this, his expression seemed to move.

He arched his hand and said: "Listening to the prime minister's meaning, it seems that he has a lot of insight into the governance of Shu, I don't know what the prime minister has about the development of Shuzhong?" ”

The potter smiled and said, "Huang Gong is finally willing to talk to me, then I want to ask Huang Gong first, what is the primary difficulty in developing Shudi?" ”

Huang Quan puffed up his chest and said very solemnly: "Since ancient times, although the Shu people think that they have long been unified in the Central Plains Zhengshuo, but Shu is forced to Rong in the west, and the south is forced to be barbaric, the geographical location is remote, and there is a saying that Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, even if it is as rich as Chengdu, in the eyes of the people of Middle Earth, it still has a sense of exoticism. ”

The potter nodded, and said: "Huang Gong's words can be said to be the key point, for the land of Sichuan and Shu, this road and location is indeed a big problem, this is a natural disadvantage, I can't change it, I can't, but compared to the disadvantage, Sichuan Shu also has his advantages, we just need to play to our strengths and avoid weaknesses, we can." ”

Huang Quan raised his head and said, "Dare to ask what is the length of Shuzhong?" ”

"Settle down."

The potter snapped his fingers and said: "The land of the Central Plains and the northwest of the country have been repeatedly turbulent, and the land of Jiangnan and Jinling, I have taken in a large number of displaced people who have migrated from the Central Plains, but now in this situation, even Jiangnan is not enough to accept so many people, especially the displaced people in Guanzhong, most of them are coming to Xichuan, after all, compared with the Central Plains, Shuzhong can be described as stable and rich, which has increased the manpower in Shuzhong to a certain extent, and it can be regarded as the right time for Shu." ”

After a pause, the potter said: "Shu brocade industry, the world is famous, in my opinion, if you want to develop Sichuan Shu, the first thing to expand the silk industry, the variety of Shu brocade increases, especially the pattern of Shu brocade, to continue to develop and innovate, we will soon usher in the era of peace, when the time comes to increase the auspicious schema on the Shu brocade, not only the current style of birds and beasts, but also a hundred flowers, rivers and river fish, Ruyi peony and so on, their own advantages must be developed and innovated, this is the first law of development. ”

Qin Mi, Li Hui, Wang Lei and others looked at each other, and there was a little surprise in their eyes.

The potter continued: "Of course, the brocade is only a key point of development, and the treasure cannot be pressed on it, Chengdu is south of the south, although the mountains and mountains are more poisonous miasma, but there are also a lot of high-quality medicinal materials and mountain treasures, I intend to open a medicine market in Chengdu and Hanzhong in the future...... In addition, there is agriculture, Chengdu is famous for its excellent soil, but you should not know that these high-quality soil can be divided into at least a dozen ......"

After saying a lot of things casually, the ministers led by Huang Quan were completely stunned.

After the potter said almost, Huang Quan looked at him with some confusion and said, "Before the prime minister came to Xichuan, he seemed to have done a lot of homework." ”

Tao Shang smiled and said: "That's nature, after all, this is the land of the Han Dynasty, since Liu Jiyu has surrendered, then Tao naturally has to be concerned, it is the land of the Han Dynasty, I naturally can't be biased." ”

Although the crowd didn't say anything, the potters could see that they had changed because of their enthusiasm.

After all, no one wants to achieve nothing, everyone wants to be able to show their talents, especially Sichuan and Shu, which is of great significance to these former ministers of Yizhou.

The potter came to the land with enthusiasm, and he was confident that he would be able to stir up their enthusiasm.

The crowd talked to each other for a whole afternoon before they dispersed.

As soon as everyone left, Tai Shici hurriedly rushed into the official residence.

"Third brother, urgent military situation!"

The potter didn't reach out to take the battle report, but said, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei are desperate? ”

Tai Shi Ci was stunned when he heard this, he looked at the battle report in his hand suspiciously, and said curiously: "How do you know?" ”

The potter chuckled: "Of course I know, I've known them for many years, and as soon as they pouted their butts, I knew that they were pulling ......."

After a pause, the potter swallowed his words.

It seems to be somewhat disgusting.

"How is Sword Pavilion Pass? Did they leave the soldiers and horses to defend it? ”

Tai Shici nodded and said, "Stay, leave a small number of soldiers to defend to the death, Mr. Guo and General Xu are driving troops to attack desperately." ”

The pottery merchant nodded abruptly and said, "It seems that Cao Cao and Liu Bei are competing for time with me, and the two of them want to kill me before the army in the rear breaks through the Sword Pavilion...... This is also hating me to the extreme. ”

"Third brother, what should we do then?"

"What can I do? Of course, I won't let them kill me, and I'm going to kill them with my backhand, and in the last battle, tell the brothers, give me some spirits, and fight a good battle! ”
