To be honest, Tao Qian's statement was very much recognized by the pottery. Being able to have the vision and thought of a fisherman who can make profits is one of the important qualities of a successful person. Lao Tao Qian avoided the important and joined the Dong League. The idea of ​​getting along well with everyone was very close to the pottery's appetite, so he praised him for his words "chicken thief". This word pottery generally does not praise others easily... only for his own people!

But the ideas are full and the reality is skinny. Today's pottery merchants cannot give Tao Qian a thumbs up.

The reason is very simple, that is, the pottery merchant came from later generations and was very clear about the benefits brought by this joint consultation...

Whether ancient or modern, there are roughly two types of benefits: one is economic benefits and the other is social benefits.

Tao Qian was afraid of fearless losses, so he only saw economic benefits, but he did not see social benefits. In history, many people such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan became famous all over the world through this campaign to attack Dong Zhuo, especially in local prefectures and counties, and obtained the support of many royal families. In the subsequent warlord expansion operations, their strengths made rapid progress.

Perhaps these results were something that these princes themselves had not thought of, and they were completely unintentionally planting willows and willows to form shade.

Therefore, sometimes blindly preserving strength is not completely correct.

"Father, I don't support your opinion very much."

Tao Qian didn't expect that his son would have so many ideas and opinions today: "How can I explain this to my son?"

Tao Shang spoke for a while: "Father, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court's control over the local area has become much worse than before. Now, Dong Zhuo usurped the power of the emperor. The emperor was young, and the power of the prefects and governors in various places has begun to rise. According to the child's opinion, whether the campaign to conquer Dong Zhuo was successful or failed, soon after, the local forces in Kanto will inevitably begin to expand, and in order to seek completeness in chaos, local families will inevitably begin to lean on different princes. At this critical juncture, if we want to protect ourselves, we must continue to expand our strength. This strength includes both our own strength and reputation..."

Tao Qian's eyes began to become round. In fact, although these words made sense, if they were strange, they were not very strange... It just made Tao Qian never expect that this words were said from Tao merchant.

Could it be that using official documents to wipe your butt and you can still use wisdom?...I have to try it secretly another day.

"My son continues to say, it's okay to say whatever he wants."

Tao Shang continued: "Father, this attack on Dong Zhuo is an opportunity to expand our Tao family's reputation. As long as we can show our strengths in this attack alliance, we will inevitably get the support of the Han family, which will be of great benefit to my father's future firmness in Xuzhou."

The pottery merchant searched his heart and finally finished speaking completely.

"Wuer, who taught you how to say this?"

Tanshu: “…………”

"If I said this, do you believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it." Tao Qian said firmly.

My father couldn't believe it. He really should pull the soul of his predecessor back into his body and hit the three hundred big blocks for him to reflect on it.

"Who did my father think this was said?"

Tao Qian said authentically: "Looking at the entire Xuzhou, as I see, there are only a few people including Mi Zhu, Zhao Yu, Wang Lang, etc. who have such knowledge..."

The pottery nodded and said, "That's what Mi Zhu said."

Tao Qian's face turned a little dark: "..."

It is indeed a bit too obvious to be perfunctory. Is this child stupid to be a real father?

"Don't worry, get out!"

...

...

The second truth that Tao Shang learned when he came to this world, who could leave a name in history books must be much better than ordinary people. Even Tao Qian, who was in the mouth of later generations, had the so-called mean ability... Then is the so-called mean ability to compare with whom, and with the princes, which is considered mean, and with the common people, or is the common people more foolish.

Such a person cannot be perfunctory, or at least he cannot be fooled by him as an idiot.

Through the conversation just now, Tao Shang knew that although what he said touched Tao Qian a little, his predecessor never asked about political affairs, and Tao Qian could not believe him.

Judging from Tao Qian's current performance, this time he attacked Dong Zhuo, he wanted to take the approach of not working hard, and he needed to find a way to change his thinking.

If the same words are said from different people, the effect will definitely be different.

Through the conversation just now, Tao Qian talked about the names of the three people. I believe that the weight of these three people in Tao Qian's heart should be different from that of others.

Mi Zhu, Zhao Yu, Wang Lang... It seems that to persuade Tao Qian, these three people need to take action.

When the pottery arrived at the backyard of the governor's mansion, a fat man with a simple red face came forward and bowed to greet him.

The fragmented memories in Tao Shang's mind made him recognize that this was Tao Hong, the boss of the mansion, who had followed Tao Qian for many years.

"Young Master, the carriage is ready. Should you go on an outing today or hunt your favorite rabbit?"

The Tao Shang curled his lips and looked at the prospect of his predecessor: tigers can't hunt, foxes, wolfs, and deer can't hunt... He has to fight rabbits, and he likes it the most.

"I won't do anything else today. I'll prepare a car and take me to Mi Zhu's mansion."

The boss seemed a little unbelievable after hearing this: "Young Master, Sun, the young master Zhou, have been asking you to go on an outing for several days, and you have never delayed this before."

"As a person, you have to learn to make more friends and make new friends!" Tao Shang smiled and patted the boss's shoulder: "I'll let them go today. Let's go to Mi Zhu's mansion."

The boss looked at Tao Shang with a little confused look, but he was not good at not complying.

"Young Master, although Mr. Mi recognizes you, he is just a friend. You have never had any contact with him. You might as well prepare some gifts. Zhuo Ren first gave it to him in your name and then went to the house, which was not very abrupt."

The Tao merchant nodded, and reciprocating and communicating, it is natural for Tao Hong to do things.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Hong. I'll prepare another visitor book and send it with the gift. I'll say that I'm a Taoist merchant visiting the house so that I can make people have some preparations."

The boss manager frowned and said, "Young Master, although you are a vain person, you are the eldest son of the governor. After all, you are a little too humble to send a letter to Mi Zhu?"

Tao Shang shook his head: "Just do what I said, there is nothing wrong with being humble."

After all, it’s time to ask someone to do something, so it’s better to put your posture down and pretend to be a fool.

...

...

Mi Zhu is a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou and the head of the Mi family. His ancestors have been engaged in the cultivation of generations, and their family wealth has exceeded 100 million yuan. To put it bluntly, he is a landlord and powerful man. Although Tao Qian was the governor of Xuzhou, he only took office for two years. If he wanted to gain a foothold in Xuzhou, the Mi family must be his target, so as soon as he took office, he immediately appointed Mi Zhu as a different leader.

To put it bluntly, Tao Qian is the head of a state and Mi Zhu is his secretary-general.

………………………………………

Xuzhou, Mifu.

In the middle of the hall, there was a gift from a pottery. Next to it was a middle-aged man who looked only in his thirties and had a graceful appearance. His short beards on his chin were neatly trimmed, and his brocade clothes were clean and spotless. He looked like a very self-disciplined person.

Mi Zhu's eyes looked directly at the gifts in the hall. He didn't care much about these gifts. After all, the Mi family was rich and there were only a handful of people who could be richer than him in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty. These things really couldn't catch his eye.

The main reason was the person who gave the goods surprised him.

Of course, Mi Zhu knew the eldest son of the governor. Two years ago, Tao Qian had just entered Xuzhou and recruited four powerful people to join the government to help him gain a foothold in Xuzhou. Among the powerful people, Mi Zhu was the one of them.

The Mi family’s deep roots in Xuzhou were used as capital to support Tao Qian, and Mi Zhu’s condition was to promise a favorable position.

The bigger the business, the bigger the political/political/background.

As the saying goes, mutual benefit, Mi Zhu thinks that the deal he and Tao Qian are doing very cost-effectively.

Of course, every businessman hopes to do business longer. Mi Zhu is a talented businessman. He hopes to continue the transactions between the Mi family and Tao family in a long time. Not only Tao Qian's generation, but also his next generation. It is best to make this transaction endlessly...

So Mi Zhu focused his eyes on Tao Qian’s two young men, hoping to make friends with them, which can also be regarded as a preparation for the future.

The problem is that after only a few times of contact, Mi Zhu was disappointed.

Tao Qian’s son...what can I say, it’s really his fucking weakness and wisdom!

These two sons are not only dull and rigid, but also stupid. They do not seek to make progress every day. As the governor, the young master does not think about interacting with the nobles in Xuzhou, but they are always in love with the romance and romance, recite poems and write dogs.

Anyway, he is not a person who does serious business!

After finding out the details of the two young men of the Tao family, Mi Zhu gave up the need to continue investing in these two boys. He is a businessman, and the businessman only pays attention to projects that can produce returns.

Tao Qian is a good project, but his two sons... are scumbags.

"Brother!"

A round and fat man with a festive face ran to the hall, bowed to Mi Zhu, and panted: "The Grand Master of the Governor sent me a letter of worship, come to the mansion, brother, what do you think about this?" The person who came in was Mi Zhu's brother Mi Fang.

Mi Zhu touched the short beard on his chin and said to himself: "The slag is here..."

"Ah?" Mi Fang was a little confused when she heard this.
