Chapter 172: A Trip to Pengcheng
The next day, the pottery merchant introduced Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Sima Lang, Han Hao, Hu Cai, Xu Rong, Guo Jia, Yu Erbi, Liu Hu and others to Tao Qian.
Tao Qian didn't ask too much about the subordinates recalled by the pottery merchants, but just asked them politely one by one, and he didn't take up any positions.
In the old man's heart, since the potter is going to take charge of a county, he must need the help of his arm, and since these people are all brought back by him, the potter himself should be assigned to the post in the future.
As a county magistrate, from the moment the will of the imperial court arrived in Pengcheng, the potter was already qualified to open the mansion.
After Tao Qian talked to a few people, he instructed them one by one to go to Danyang County with the potter, and the matter of the post would be talked about after the potter took office.
Among the people, only Sima Lang, Tao Qian had a detailed discussion with him.
After all, it is the Hanoi Wang clan, and the migration of the Ju clan here is not trivial, and Tao Qian still has to deal with it carefully.
In order to avoid the destruction of the scholar system in Pengcheng, Tao Qian still asked Sima Lang to go to Danyang County with the potters for the time being, and he also hoped that Sima Lang could come out and assist the potters together with others.
After several trade-offs, Sima Lang finally agreed.
And he also became the first leader of the scholar clan under his command after the potter opened the mansion in Danyang County in the future.
Also, among these people brought back by the pottery merchants, Tao Qian was quite curious about his ears and nose and Liu Huwen.
Tao Qian can be regarded as having been through the storm for a long time, he fought Beigong Boyu in the northwest back then, and the old man saw at a glance that these two people were not Han people, and their temperament and demeanor were not ordinary pariahs.
But Yu Ear and Nose are subject to the potter's restrictions at the moment, and in the face of the history of a state's assassination, he does not dare to speak nonsense.
He only said that he was a Hun in the Han Dynasty who was rescued by the pottery merchant, and he and his son Liu Huwen were willing to be slaves and servants to repay the potter's life-saving grace.
Tao Qian somewhat saw that something was wrong, but it was not a big deal when he thought about it, and Tao Qian was still quite confident in his son.
But if he knew that these two people were both princes and grandsons who were qualified to inherit the throne of the Southern Xiongnu royal court, I wonder how Old Man Tao would feel?
In addition to Yu Erbi and Liu Huyu, Tao Qian is obviously also a little interested in Guo Jia.
Although Guo Jia and Tao Qian's answers to questions were very far-sighted and resourceful, Tao Qian could obviously feel that this son of Guo's side branch from Yingchuan seemed to be a little resistant to his own family, how to say it......
It seems that he was kidnapped, and he had to follow it.
Thinking of this, Tao Qian couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.
I'm really old, and I love to think about everything.
My own son, what urine sex I know best? Will he kidnap people back?
This idea is as ridiculous as his old Tao family can dominate the world in the future.
Tao Qian didn't care so much, after all, he was the one who was brought back by his son, he could do whatever he wanted, a little-known disciple of the side branch, it was not worth the trouble of being the lord of a state.
After symbolically meeting these outsiders, Tao Qian went about his own business.
As the lord of a state, there are many things to worry about, and the matter of personnel, the son is willing to settle it himself.
After introducing Tao Qian to everyone, the pottery merchant invited the others to either go to the pavilion to rest or go back to the barracks outside the city, while he left Guo Jia alone and asked him to accompany him to walk the streets of Pengcheng.
Although Guo Jia is reluctant to be an escort, he has to bow his head under the eaves, and he has a lot of experience in the shameless means of the potter, and he will accompany him to go shopping, and he will not lose a piece of meat anyway.
……
……
Pengcheng set.
The potter and Guo Jia walked side by side on the street, and not far behind them, the four Pei brothers followed and protected them unhurriedly.
Of course, there is also the bodyguard You Donkey who has been responsible for "taking care of Guo Jia with a gun".
"Brother Guo, how do you see the development of Pengcheng?" As the potter walked, he inquired to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia followed slowly, and said as he walked: "Let me speak, but I have to pay Lintoe Gold." ”
The potter raised his eyebrows and said, "You're too greedy, aren't you?" I'm chatting with you, and I'm not asking you to give me advice, so there are so many requests. ”
Guo Jia shrugged, looked around, and said: "It's not bad, Pengcheng has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and it has been developed for thousands of years, and when I see it today, it is indeed extraordinary." ”
The potter smiled and said: "I dragged you out today, shopping is one of them, and the other is to discuss with you how to fight in Xuzhou in the future?" After all, Brother Da Gan is a rare military strategist in the world, and his insights must be very unique. ”
Guo Jia turned his head to look at the potter, pondered for a while and said: "Guo doesn't understand, although I was forcibly kidnapped by you, but you seem to have admired Guo's ability from the beginning, the time when we drank and deceived people in the Black Mountain military camp, it should be the first time we met, right?" ”
The pottery merchant smiled mysteriously and said: "I don't have any other abilities, but the world's talents, Tao is well known, such as a few treasures." ”
Guo Jia sniffed, turned his head to the side, didn't let the potter see it, and rolled his eyes rather disdainfully.
What a heart the potter is, Guo Jia's small actions are naturally clear to him, but he does not say anything, but continues the topic just now: "Brother Feng Xiao said that Pengcheng has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, I don't know what the reason is?" ”
Guo Jia heard the words and said: "This depends on how you speculate, in Guo's opinion, if there is a need, any place will become a place for soldiers to fight, if there is no need, anywhere will become a place of chicken ribs, the land of Pengcheng, the place of the North Choke Plain, the south of the Yangtze River, and the west can enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, this place, if it is in the south, it will become the gateway to the north, if it is in the north, he is the throat of the south, and in Guo's view, Pengcheng is the only place where a large army can attack the north from the south or the north from the north to the south without any obstacles, but it is suitable as a frontier formation, but it cannot be governed. Imagine that in the past, this place was the boundary between Chu, Qi and Sanjin, and the war was continuous, so it was quite unwise to use it as a place to govern. ”
Hearing this, the potter nodded and agreed with Guo Jia's remarks.
Guo Jia continued slowly: "The one who collected gold in the paragraph just now. ”
"Brother Fengxiao, Tao doesn't understand very well, what's wrong with me? Why can't you be an arm for me with peace of mind, and have to give me advice in the form of a transaction? When it comes to employing people, I feel that although I am not the best, at least I am not weak, why can't you be willing to use it for me? ”
Hearing this, Guo Jia's prodigal smile disappeared, and he frowned and fell into a state of contemplation.
Why did he directly refuse to be used by potters in the first place...... In fact, to put it bluntly, Guo Jia is not very clear in his heart.
Maybe the real stalk is still at his age, Guo Jia prides himself on being a genius in the world, and he can't serve unless he is a hero in the world, this is Guo Jia's hard requirement for himself.
Even if it is Yuan Shao, the third prince of the fourth world, because he weighs the interests of the Jizhou scholar clan and cannot tailor a reasonable position for Guo Jia, Guo Jia will abandon him and will not feel sorry at all.
And a person who has such high requirements for himself or others, suddenly let him take refuge in a little-known boy, and he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, emotionally, Guo Jia can't understand his heart.
Of course, after a few days of contact, Guo Jia did discover that the potters were not only cheap...... There are still some things to admire, which is also the fundamental reason why Guo Jia is still willing to stay in Xuzhou.
Otherwise, in fact, according to his urine nature, even if he was really shot to death by You Donkey, he would not survive in the pottery merchant.
To put it bluntly, it is still the interest in the potter that accounts for most of the level.
In particular, the shameless spirit of the potter has been deeply shocking Guo Jia - you are not good with me, I want to be good with you.
Looking at the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, there is really no one with the surname Tao.
is interested, but Guo Jia really can't pull his face to serve a little baby, this sensitive self-esteem has been following him, so that Guo Jia has made such a drama of spending money to buy tricks.
Entanglement kills people.
"You took Guo out to go shopping today, it's not just as simple as chatting with me, right?"
For the potter, Guo Jia has also been analyzing his personality for a while.
He analyzed the character of the potter densely in several volumes, and knew that this kid was a character who could not afford to be profitable.
Hand in hand leading himself shopping, he is definitely not the kind of person who farts idle.
"Of course not, seeing that I am about to hold a crown ceremony, although on the day of the ceremony, the leaders of the scholars of Pengcheng will naturally come to congratulate me in front of my father's face, but from my point of view, I have to go to the mansion of the princes to walk around, and at least I have to go to the mansion of Cao Bao and Mi Zhu, so as to show my sincerity."
"Show sincerity?" Guo Jia smiled and said, "Actually, you're going to find out the truth, right?" ”
The potter was noncommittal: "Brother Da Gan understands me, let's buy some gifts, and then send someone to send a post, and go to Mifu and Caofu respectively." ”
"But why did you take me?" Guo Jia frowned curiously.
The potter raised his eyebrows lightly and said in a low voice: "The people under my hands, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, and Xu Rong are all good at fighting, Han Hao knows how to govern, but they don't know how to look at people, Brother Guo has a bad stomach, and he is well versed in treacherous and treacherous ways, I want you to help me analyze and analyze, what kind of people are Cao Bao and Mi Zhu." ”
Guo Jia nodded suddenly, his face suddenly sank, and he said solemnly: "This is also a suggestion, and I want to receive a dowry." ”
"I owe it first, and it's the same as the last time, and I will settle it together at the end of the year."
Guo Jia opened his mouth in surprise when he heard this: "But it's just the beginning of the year?" ”
"The rich can't be lewd, the poor can't be moved, this is called a big husband, Brother Guo, are you a little promising?"
Guo Jia sighed.
A person who can say such things with a licking face is actually wronged by being the lord of himself.
