After hearing that the pottery merchant allowed him to recommend talents, Chen Deng felt relieved. He nodded suddenly and began to think about the candidates in his mind.
The potter didn't care what he was thinking, and continued: "Tomorrow, immediately send people to the nearby villages and select some experienced farmers. I will tell them the method of hybrid rice to increase grain production, but this kind of
The method has a high failure rate. I only have theory but no technology, so I need them to cooperate with me to carry out experiments in turns!"
Chen Deng was not very calm at all.
He was also very confused at the moment.
"What is...hybrid rice? Making rice into a mate?"
The potter smiled softly and said happily: "How should I put it? Anyway, it is a very delicate project, including ear selection, ear trimming, detasseling and pollination. The tools don't need to be too complicated, but the failure rate is too high. In one or two years, three
Five years, maybe even ten or eight years won't be enough. You have to put your luck on this thing. Anyway, you just go and find me an old man who is good at farming."
Speaking of this, Tao Shang paused and added: "Look for the old man in large numbers!"
Chen Deng grinned, feeling quite helpless.
This gentleman is quite interesting. He is so enthusiastic about finding an old man. What's wrong with him?
The pottery merchant asked Chen Dengdao again: "Does our Xuzhou have any contact with Shixie from Jiaozhou?"
Chen Deng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
"No, Shi Xie is the governor of Jiaozhi. He is in the southern border and has no contact with us in Xuzhou. Why did the prince remember to ask about him?"
The potter let out a long sigh and said nothing.
In history, there is a kind of rice called Champa rice. According to legend, the place where it was sown was the Champa State. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Champa State should have been called the Linyi State, which was located in Vietnam and the current Jiaozhou.
Close to each other.
Champa rice grains are large and plump, with a snow-white and crystal-clear color. It is not only high-yielding but also drought-resistant. More importantly, it has a short growth cycle, with only more than fifty days from planting to harvesting.
If you are really lucky enough to find a way to get the rice seeds from Linyi State through Shixie in Jiaozhou, then even if the rice grafting work fails, you can take advantage of the land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to grow rice and achieve a bumper harvest every year.
, it is by no means difficult to expand the mass production of grain and raise troops.
But since he and Shi Xie have no friendship at the moment, it seems that this matter can only be postponed.
Chen Deng bowed his hand and said to Tao Shang: "It seems that the prince has made a lot of preparations in order to develop Jinling City into the leader of the world. Chen Deng admires him deeply and will definitely try his best to help the young master. But it's just salt and iron.
It's farming, it's hybrid rice, each of them is no small matter. I'm afraid I can't do it alone. I just thought about it, but there are three people recommended to the Lord. If I can call them to come and assist me,
If you are the ruler of the government, all these great things will be accomplished."
The pottery merchant heard this and said hurriedly: "Yuan Long is trying to say something?"
Chen Deng took a breath and said: "The first one is related to my family for several generations. He is a native of Xu County, Yingchuan. He is the son of Dahonglu Chen Ji. His surname is Chen Mingqun. Although he is young, he is extremely powerful in political strategy.
I am knowledgeable. When I was young, I traveled to Yingchuan to study, passed through Xu County, and stayed in his house for several months, and became close friends with him."
The potter couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the name.
"Then can you recruit him?"
Chen Deng heard the words and said with a smile: "I'll try my best. If Deng comes forward in person, it shouldn't be difficult."
Tao Shang knew that Chen Deng was not bragging. Historically, in order to protect Liu Bei from becoming the shepherd of Xuzhou, this guy even encouraged Yuan Shao to support Liu Bei. He had the power of ghosts and gods. Who else could he not deal with?
Provoking Chen Qun must not be a problem for him.
"Where are the other two?"
Chen Deng smiled and said: "As for the second person, you need to find a solution for yourself."
The pottery merchant was surprised when he heard this and said: "Me? Who needs me to take action personally?"
Chen Deng took a breath and said: "This man's name is Zhang Zhao, whose courtesy name is Zibu. He is from Pengcheng, Xuzhou. He is close friends with Wang Lang and Zhao Yu. Some time ago, Tao Shijun admired him and praised him as a talented person, but he was
Zhang Zhao refused, which made the emperor angry and imprisoned him. This man is extremely talented and knowledgeable, and he is good at government affairs. If the emperor can rescue him and ask him to come out, he will definitely be a big help in the governance of Jinling City!
"
The pottery merchant nodded, secretly thinking that Zhang Zhao was actually squatting in the prison in Pengcheng at this moment. As Chen Deng said, this was indeed a pity. He had to be freed at any cost and then captured in Danyang County.
Thinking of this, Tao Shang suddenly woke up and said: "The third person, is it Zhang Hong you are talking about?"
Chen Deng seemed not to have expected that the pottery merchant could tell Zhang Hong's name.
His expression was quite surprised: "The Lord, in your opinion, this is the case. This person is currently living in Guangling County. If the young master can go there in person, he will definitely agree to come out."
The pottery merchant was hesitant and said to Chen Deng a little unconfidently: "Yuanlong, to tell you the truth, ever since I started a team to work alone, every recruitment has not gone smoothly. I stole Xu Chu from Zhu Meng.
Xu Rong belongs to the low-end configuration with disfigurement and loss of confidence in life. Han Hao is not willing to serve Zhang Yang. I am the one who picks out the big ones. Xu Huang is the one who was tricked by me using Yuan Shao's name. Guo Jia is more direct and belongs to me.
Tie back..."
Chen Deng was stunned when he heard this and looked at the pottery merchant in disbelief.
Suddenly, Chen Deng lowered his head and clasped his fingers one by one, silently calculating in his heart.
After a while, Chen Dengyang sighed, with a look of pain on his face.
If it is true as he said, then among the pottery merchant's subordinates, he is the only one who has come to visit him on his own!
How do you make it seem like other people are worth more than you! How embarrassing!
Tao Shang glanced at Chen Deng with resentment and said, "Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong don't even pee on my father, can they talk to me?"
Chen Deng came back to his senses, coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and said with a stiff smile: "Maybe not originally, but the status of the prince is different now. It shouldn't be too difficult to recruit people from the noble clan in the future."
The pottery merchant was surprised when he heard this and asked: "Why?"
Chen Deng smiled and explained: "Master Fu, don't forget, you are no better than before. You are now the Prince of Taiping, a man of great influence with Xu Zijiang's ten lines of gold, and everyone in the world will look at you sideways if you are not right.
?”
When the pottery merchant heard this, he suddenly understood.
yes!
My identity is different now!
No one else has ten golden comments! Cao Cao even intimidated and threatened, but at most it was just a few lies!
Compared with that thief of Cao Cao, I am absolutely victorious!
No, these ten golden comments are treasures. I must publicize these ten golden comments later to keep the popularity going!
Tao made a resolution today and vowed to become the number one Internet celebrity in Han Dynasty based on these golden words!
…
…
With the information and information given to him by the pottery merchant, Chen Deng happily left with a lot of slips in his hands. This boy was ready to go all out in Jinling City.
The pottery merchant began to recruit Erzhang.
He first wrote to Tao Qian, asking his father sincerely and humbly to let Zhang Zhao go so that he could be used for his own purposes.
Then he sent people with generous gifts to Guangling County to invite Zhang Hong to come out of the mountain.
Although he knows that it would be better to go in person, Guangling is not under Tao Qian's control after all. Although Zhao Yugang became the prefect of Guangling, many things are still decided by Pi Xiang Zuo Rong. The political situation there is complicated, and Tao Qian
It is inconvenient for Shang to go there in person...if he is detained by Zuo Rong, he will lose more than he gains.
Zhang Hong himself should probably understand this simple truth.
I just don't know if he is interested in me anymore.
…
…
Tao Qian still loves his eldest son very much.
Although the old man was very angry at Zhang Zhao's rejection of him, Tao Shang personally expressed his request, and Tao Qian thought it was better to give his son some face.
When my son starts a business outside, I must fully support him no matter what.
So Tao Qian sent someone to escort Zhang Zhao to Jinling City.
As for Zhang Hong, after accepting the generous gift from the pottery merchant, he came to Jinling City to visit him in person, which was unexpected by the pottery merchant.
What's more, by coincidence, the two of them arrived at their destination on the same day.
When Er Zhang arrived at the Jinling County Sheriff's Mansion, the pottery merchant, to show his sincerity, personally went to the door of the mansion to greet him.
He is so young and in a high position, but he is still so polite. Er Zhang is quite satisfied with the performance of this rising star.
After seeing the two pieces, the pottery merchant smiled and handed the two pieces of white silk to their hands respectively, with dense small characters written on them.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are not sure. What kind of hospitality etiquette is this?
When Mr. Tao entertained guests, did he also write poems to welcome them?
Confused, the two of them opened the white silk and took a look, only to see that the content on it was the same.
What is written are the ten golden comments that Xu Zijiang originally wrote to the pottery merchant in the Yuedan Commentary.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong don't know why...
What do you mean? Show us what this is for?
After seeing the two of them finish reading, the pottery merchant turned around and winked at Pei Qian behind him.
Pei Qian stood up with a smile, raised his hands and asked Er Zhang: "Two great talents, do you know who the people who are commenting here are?"
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were both stunned when they heard this.
What do you mean? Are there any test questions?
Seeing that both of them looked blank, Pei Qian turned around and winked at the pottery merchant.
The potter took a deep breath and straightened his back.
Pei Qian had obviously discussed it with the pottery merchant in advance, and he memorized all the words by heart.
Pei Qian smiled and pointed at the pottery merchant, and introduced him in a loud voice as if he was praising a big star: "He! That's him written here! Taiping Gongzi pottery merchant! Tao Zidu! He is very popular now!"
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong suddenly felt black after hearing this.
Why is this child so vain? Is this because he lacks self-confidence?
Are you still sick?
Chen Deng followed the pottery merchant to greet Er Zhang. When he saw this, he hurriedly wiped the sweat on his head, pushed Pei Qian away who was still holding his stinky feet, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Two eminent men, Mr. Tao Mansion."
I sincerely invite two experts to settle in Jinling City. Although the prince is young, he is already one of the best in the world. This time he wants to vigorously develop Jinling City. I have heard about the names of these two experts for a long time, so I would like to ask for your help. Please also
Seeing that the world is in chaos, these two wise men need someone to help them and come out to help you."
Only then did Er Zhang come back to his senses.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Hong suddenly asked Tao Shang: "Mr. Tao Mansion, may I ask whose idea it was to move the Danyang County seat to Jinling City?"
The pottery merchant was stunned when he heard this.
"It was my idea, what? Does Mr. Zhang not like this place?"
Zhang Hong raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it your own idea? No one else can give you advice?"
The potter shook his head in confusion and said, "No, it is indeed me."
When he said this, Zhang Hong showed a happy smile, nodded appreciatively and said: "Okay! Not bad! Not bad! At such a young age, I didn't expect to be so discerning! What a talent!".m.
