After listening to Tao Shang's words, Han Hao seemed to have gained some understanding, but he still didn't quite understand the key points. He then raised his hands and clasped his fists and said, "Master Tao, please give me a brief explanation."
Considering his age and position, it is really rare for him to be so humble when faced with things.
The pottery merchant smiled and patted Han Hao's clasped hands, put them down gently, and said, "Han Hao, why should we be so polite between you and me? This word "please" will never appear in front of me from now on.
There is no need to use it... We are like a family, and I can share with you unconditionally any gossip or gossip I know in the future."
Han Hao's heart skipped a beat, this guy was just poaching again.
Han Hao didn't dare to answer, he just pretended to be stupid and stared at the sky, ignoring the pottery merchant's words, who are you and your family?
But the potter doesn't care.
There are some talents that potters can let go, but there are some talents that potters will never let go.
The so-called millions of soldiers and thousands of good generals are of no use in the eyes of the pottery merchant... at least for now!
Without enough population, taxation, grain, and military supplies, no matter how many soldiers and horses we give you, you won’t be able to feed these people... Therefore, those who can help you create these are the most precious.
Although history books always say that the Han Dynasty advocated Confucian principles and put loyalty first, in the eyes of pottery merchants, this is nothing more than a headline.
Everyone wants to be a loyal person, which is understandable, but human nature is greedy. This is summarized from a biological perspective and cannot be changed. Human beings belong to the category of biology and cannot escape this law.
It is not impossible to conquer all kinds of talents by relying on the so-called charisma, but the pottery merchant feels that it cannot last long. Without profit, the pottery merchant feels that any amount of charisma is nonsense.
If you can’t support your family, how can you talk about the world!?
Therefore, the pottery merchant's political strategy is to "enrich the world!" Anyone who is a pottery merchant will have better treatment and a better life than others!
For this goal, Tao Shang already has a series of plans in his mind, but he needs helpers, not so-called powerful advisers, but real economic and industrial masters!
Han Hao is the first target that the pottery merchant is currently targeting...he will never let it go.
"Han Zhizhang, in your opinion, why was the Baibo Army able to gather these 150,000 to 60,000 men?" Tao Shang smiled and changed the subject when he saw that Han Hao did not dare to answer his question.
Han Hao finally relaxed... It was so embarrassing just now!
Han Hao lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Because Hebei and Guanzhong have been plagued by wars and disasters in recent years. Coupled with natural and man-made disasters, and frequent harassment by foreign invaders, the people have been miserable. Many lives have been unsustainable and they can't eat anything."
, the clothes did not cover the body, so I had no choice but to join the Baibo bandits..."
The pottery merchant nodded and agreed: "Yes, at least after joining the Baibo Army, they can have food. Although these meals are taken from the same poor people, at least they have the ability to
A job that puts food on the table...and doesn’t starve to death.”
Han Hao frowned when he heard this and clenched his fists hard.
"Do you think they are willing to be bandits? Do they fight with the army every day?"
Han Hao smiled and said: "Except for the generals who earn military merits, who in the world is willing to really fight? Those are days when you have to fight for your life but can only make a living! If you can have a choice, who wouldn't?
I want to live a peaceful and peaceful life where I work at sunrise and rest at sunset, marry a wife and have children..."
"Right." The pottery merchant smiled and turned to look at the Baibo Valley in the distance, and said calmly: "What I am bringing out to seduce Baibo Jun are these conditions that seem to be the simplest, most practical, and most unpretentious... but they are...
He is the leader of the bandits in the Yellow Turbans, Bai Bo, and he cannot give anything to the ordinary soldiers under his command."
When Han Hao heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he said in shock: "Master Tao...could it be that you..."
Looking at Han Hao's surprised eyes, Tao Shang said with a smile: "Yes, what I gave to the ordinary soldiers of the Baibo Army is a chance to become good citizens again... not the kind of good citizens who don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, but the kind of good people who don't have enough food and clothing.
Give them fields to plant, food to eat, clothes to wear, and security from being harassed by thieves and bandits.”
Han Hao was stunned when he heard this and looked at the pottery merchant in disbelief, his eyes shining with incredible light.
"Mr. Tao, have you discussed this matter with Prince Fu? Does Prince Fu agree?"
Upon hearing this, the pottery merchant raised his hand and touched his nose and said, "We have discussed it, but the prince does not agree."
Han Hao was speechless... You still do it if you don't agree? That's too willful.
Han Hao had expected that Wang Kuang would not agree to this matter. He knew that Wang Kuang hated these people who had joined the Yellow Turban bandits from the bottom of his heart, no matter what kind of common people they were originally, or because of
No matter what the reason for joining, Wang Kuang will not accept them settling in Hanoi...
"Wang Fujun doesn't agree, so why do you still dare to shoot those surrender letters into the valley? Is this a lie?"
The pottery merchant smiled upon hearing this, his smile was bright, sure, confident, and cheerful.
"No, why would Tao lie to people? Wang Fujun doesn't want them... Tao just takes them back to Xuzhou. They won't refuse anyone who comes, and they will take as many as they can get!"
After hearing this, Han Hao looked at the potter's confident face intently, and unconsciously became a little stunned.
Take it back to Xuzhou?
Have you ever wondered whether your father would agree?

Baibo Valley, inside Zibo City.
Hundreds of letters of persuasion to surrender shot in by the army soon spread among ordinary Baibo Army soldiers. Although the Baibo Army thieves and bandits came from poor backgrounds, not all of them were illiterate. Among ten people, there were always one or two who could.
You can read and understand the content above.
On the contrary, the more illiterate people were, the more interested they were in the contents of the arrows shot into the valley by the officers and soldiers, so they were passed on from ten to ten, to hundreds, to thousands, and to thousands. The contents of the letters were
Within a few days, the soldiers of the Baibo Army spread a familiar message...
"Have you heard? The army is recruiting us to surrender!"
"Really or not? Aren't the army coming to kill us?"
"Who says otherwise! The little tiger under Hu Qushuai has been reading the book for a few days and said that it said that this expedition would only kill the leader of the thieves and not affect the ordinary soldiers..."
"Not only that, but he also said that if he is willing to submit, he will have all his past sins forgiven, he will be given back the land, grain seeds and farm tools, his body will be returned clean, and he will be re-registered!"
"Is there such a good thing? You can't lie to us!"
"Yes, yes! How can the army be so kind to us? I don't believe it!"
"That's not entirely true. I heard from Xiao Huzi that what was said above is quite sincere. It is said that the country's wasteland has not been cultivated by good people for a long time, and it is very desolate. Therefore, people are specially gathered to cultivate it. After the cultivation, agricultural taxes are collected, but the tax is very high.
It’s just a waste of time.”
"I see, this makes sense!"
"I heard that there is something else... If anyone can capture or take the head of Commander Daqu, he will be given ten thousand coins, and he will be assigned a position at his discretion. If someone can capture the head of Commander Erqu, he will be given a thousand coins and he will be assigned a position at his discretion!"
"Shh! How dare you talk nonsense? Keep your voice down!"
"..."
As Tao Shang said, this is indeed the lowest level of differentiation strategy, and it is also a naked conspiracy, but who should be used on it also depends on what kind of response strategy the other party will adopt.
