Thinking of returning to Xuzhou, all these trivial matters, as well as the difficulties and resistance he will face in the future... It can even be said that there are hidden crises, a smile appeared on the corner of the pottery merchant's mouth.
A real smile.
The potter is a cheerful and caring person.
Being cheerful does not mean that he only laughs heartlessly every day, but that he accepts every challenge in life with a sunny heart. He will not give in to fate, and at the same time, he will not let the situation he is in
The environment affected his attitude towards life.
As for him, even if he is in troubled times, he will remember that he is a living person, a normal person with a civilized social education and a healthy mentality... People sometimes sacrifice for life and future.
, when dealing with enemies and political opponents, cut them off when necessary, plot when necessary, and poison when necessary, but you cannot lose the gentleness and kindness that should exist in a person's bones in your daily life.
You must have a heart, and you must also have a plan: a person who only has a plan but no heart is called a beast, and a person who only has a heart but no plan is called a happy little bitch.
In his previous life, he took a train ticket, carried a travel bag, and went to the imperial capital with bare hands. He worked in the lowest-end business as a pottery merchant, lived in shared houses, borrowed money, and faced mountains of pressure and cynicism.
He has never flinched, complained or criticized, and this has not affected his sunny and cheerful personality, because he believes that as long as he is willing to face it positively, life will be full of hope.
In the end, he found his own world in the publishing industry. Imperial City holds 80% of the country's publishing resources. Being an elite among them must not only understand writing and topic selection, but also understand marketing, the market, people, and channels.
Understand the policy, and through hard work day and night, he finally became a leader in the industry... Looking back, the difficulties and setbacks in life are actually a kind of practice to hone his own skills and mentality. No matter how much money it costs,
The irreplaceable wealth of life was deeply imprinted on his growing years as his experience increased.
After traveling to the end of the Han Dynasty, although Tao's future is full of crises, compared to his previous life, Tao Shang feels that he has a good hand in this life, but the relative chips may be thicker.
If you lose the cards in the previous life, you will have no future; if you lose the cards in this life, you may lose your life.
But the potter was not afraid, he still maintained a sunny and peaceful heart.
As long as a person lives, no matter which dynasty he is in, he must have the confidence that shines on his face, the backbone that is melted into his blood, the strength that is engraved in his life, and the kindness that grows in his heart.
Taking out a scroll of slips from the desk, the potter sharpened his ink, picked up his pen, and began to write down his current shortcomings and shortcomings bit by bit.
He does not have an official position, which is a major disadvantage at the moment. Although Tao Qian will serve him when he returns to Xuzhou, in terms of the political system, the appointment order of the Xuzhou governor who is against Dong Zhuo is not as legitimate as a direct decree from the imperial court.
It is indeed a bit less tough in name...
The second point is that he has no territory... The three counties and kingdoms of Xuzhou were granted to Tao Qian by the Eastern Han Dynasty government, and Tao Qian did not fully control these territories.
Without Tao Qian's support, I would be nothing in the eyes of the Xuzhou family...except for the Mi family at present.
Thinking of this, Tao Shang suddenly remembered a person. Zang Ba, who was currently stationed in Kaiyang, Xuzhou, was nominally Tao Qian's personal cavalry captain, but he was a force of his own in Xuzhou and could be said to be the leader of the country.
The Kingdom of China.
If I could have such a small piece of land, it doesn't have to be big, even if it's just a city with several attached counties...
The pottery merchant felt that according to his own planning and deployment, this city might be developed into Xuzhou, and even the first city of the Han Dynasty. He hoped that this city could even become the economic lifeline of the left and right sides. At that time, the various forces in Xuzhou could not help but
Don't be afraid of three points.
Of course, the premise is that there must be such a place...
Third, there is also its own population and generals.
After returning to Xuzhou, according to the usual practice, Mi Fang had to hand over the military power of 5,000 men. Of course, this military power did not necessarily have to be handed over to Cao Bao, but it certainly could not be controlled by himself... Tao Shang passed the war with Dong, although now
He has high prestige in the military, but it is not in line with the rules to directly command troops.
However, the five thousand Fuyun Huangjin old tribe and the Xu clan old tribe that were collected can be counted separately.
At present, for pottery merchants, the most difficult things to break through are the three major points... There are also many other piecemeal difficulties, but these three are the top priority.
After recording down the difficult things to be done and the things that needed to be overcome one by one, Tao Shang blew the slips and read them carefully again. He recorded these things in his mind one by one and smoothed them out while reading.
And think about the method, just like a pair of skillful hands patiently unraveling a mess of yarn. Although the progress is very slow, it can gradually peel off the layers as time goes by.
After the words he wrote down on the slip gradually formed a neat thread in his mind, the potter closed the slip with a "snap" sound, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Then, he stood up, walked to the brazier in the tent, and threw the scroll into it.
Writing is worse than memorizing, and memorizing is worse than reading. After these things were written down, they were more deeply imprinted in the mind of the potter. After sorting out the things that should be sorted out, he could not leave any evidence.
Watching the slips being gradually burned into black wood lumps in the flames, the potter's smile became more confident and profound.
After thinking about it clearly, I need to make some additional preparations before returning to Xuzhou.
Not long after the slips were completely melted, sporadic footsteps sounded outside the handsome tent.
When he was young, he saw Pei Qian walking into the tent, bowing his hands to the pottery merchant and saying, "Sir, Wang Situ is back."
The pottery merchant was stunned when he heard this.
According to his idea, as Wang Yun was the third Duke of the dynasty and a member of the Wang clan in Bingzhou, after negotiating with Yuan Shao, he should stay in Luoyang City as a representative of the ministers and continue to discuss with Yuan Shao the settlement of the courtiers... He
I shouldn’t see this old guy again for a while...
Why did you come back so quickly? Did the old guy leave something behind?
"Please come in, Wang Situ."
Pei Qian went out of the tent in response, and not long after, he saw Wang Yun and another elder walking in with the support of Diao Chan.
The pottery merchant raised his eyebrows... Is the thing Wang Yun left behind his precious adopted daughter?
Looking at another old man in his fifties, the potter was in a daze for a moment... He didn't remember who he was, but he looked kind-hearted.
I must have seen it before, but I forgot about it.
Tao Shang straightened his appearance, stepped forward, bowed his hands to Wang Yun, and said, "Wang Situ, why did you come to Tao when you had time?"
Wang Yun showed a strange look and said, "If I don't come back to you, where will I go?"
The pottery merchant always felt a little off after hearing this. Why did he feel like he was being relied on?
"But haven't you already settled down with Alliance Leader Yuan?...and been kicked out by Yuan Shao?"
The flesh on Wang Yun's face twitched back and forth... Every time he talked to this child, there was a sign that he would die early.
"Then Luoyang belongs to the emperor of the Han family, and not to Yuan Shao, so what qualifications does he have to drive me out?... I asked to come back at my own request!"
The pottery merchant looked at Wang Yun with sympathy. A majestic Han Dynasty official, he actually "walked back" from one prince to another prince's camp...and he asked for it himself?
I don’t know whether it was Yuan Shao who was stingy to a certain extent, or whether Wang Yunzhi was upright and upright, and his awareness of energy conservation and emission reduction was touching.
As if realizing that Tao Shanghui was wrong, Diao Chan, who was supporting Wang Yun, said hurriedly: "My foster father came back on horseback."
The potter suddenly understood: "If you say so, I will understand."
At this moment, a kind voice suddenly sounded: "Master, could this be the son of Tao Gongzu who saved your life and mine earlier?"
Wang Yun nodded and said: "This is the child."
Tao Shang turned his head when he heard the words, but saw the man slowly walking up to him and said with a smile: "My child, you are very good. I have been very ill a few days ago and cannot sleep, so I don't have time to say thank you."
, I am here specifically to thank you for your life-saving grace today."
It was only then that the pottery merchant suddenly remembered that no wonder the old man looked familiar.
That day in Bianshui, the pottery merchant rescued two carriages. In one of them, Wang Yun was sitting, but in the other one, the pottery merchant just opened the curtain and took a cursory look.
There was indeed an old man in the car who was unconscious due to illness... wasn't he the one in front of him?
If I remember correctly, Wang Yun said at that time that the person in the car was Huangfu Yizhen...
