In May of the first year of Jingyao in Shu Han, the general of the army was ordered by the Secretary of the Shangshu to make Chen Fu Lu. Emperor Liu Chan was heartbroken. Later, the imperial decree was announced: Chen Fu was posthumously named Chen Fu as the Marquis of Zhong, and appointed Chen Fu's eldest son Chen Can as the Marquis of Guannei, and appointed Fuling County County Magistrate. The second son of Chen Fu was appointed as the Minister of the Huangmen. The news came out, and the government and the country were in an uproar.

Chen Fu's uncle was Xu Jing, who was the elder brother of the famous Xu Zijiang. The "Yuedan Praise" initiated by the two brothers was very famous in the late Han Dynasty. Later, Xu Jing ran to Yizhou to avoid the war and became an official in Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang gave Xu Jing extremely high treatment - a famous famous scholar in the world.

When Liu Bei attacked Yizhou, his troops were at the CD city. Xu Jing actually ran out of the city to surrender to Liu Bei, but he didn't run away and was caught. However, at that time, Liu Zhang had already planned to surrender, so he did not kill him.

After Liu Bei took over the CD, he looked down on Xu Jing's character and did not want to use him. As a result, Fa Zheng said: There are many scumbags in this world with false reputation and morally corrupted. But we cannot go door to door to explain to everyone that Xu Jing is a scumbag. Moreover, this guy is very famous. If you don't use him, people will say that we don't respect talents. Therefore, you have to ban him, so that only the scholars in the Central Plains know that we respect talents. So Liu Bei gave Xu Jing a very high title. When Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, he appointed Xu Jing as Situ. This is the only three Dukes in the founding of Shu Han for more than 30 years.

Chen Qi's parents died in his early years and had to live in Xu Jing's house. Chen Qi's mother's father was Xu Jing's brother. You said that after such a big relationship, it is easy to imagine what Chen Qi's status in Xu Jing's mansion. Xu Jing was also the object of ridicule of the entire Shu Han regime, so there is no doubt that it was too difficult for Chen Qi to get to this point.

Chen Qi had a low birth name - his ancestors had no titles to inherit, and had no military merits - he could not create titles by himself. Therefore, throughout his life, he was just a marquis who enjoyed the treatment of a marquis, but without fiefdom, he could not be hereditary. As a result, after his death, Liu Chan directly appointed his eldest son, a marquis who was in disguise, and promoted his second son to the Huangmen Minister - the emperor's close attendant.

It’s fine, but the key is the posthumous title: Zhong! This is really the highest honor for the ministers in feudal society! Even Zhuge Liang’s posthumous title is two words: Zhongwu. Chen Qi’s posthumous title actually surpassed Zhuge Liang. What a glory!

It’s not that there are no objections. In fact, the several servants from Shangshutai disagree with each other, but Liu Chan still insisted on doing it alone. This is a rare exposure of willfulness and sincere feelings for Liu Chan, who is already fifty-one years old and has very mature political experience.

For Liu Chan, Chen Qi was not only in the relationship between the king and the minister, but also in the friendship between friends.

He ascended the throne at the age of seventeen. After twelve years, he was so controlled by Zhuge Liang that he had never even gone out of the CD Palace. He could not interfere in anything and had no power.

Finally, Zhuge Liang died, but he left his last life before his death: After I died, Jiang Wanke and Fei Yike died. So he waited for another sixteen years.

It was not until Fei Yi was stabbed that Liu Chan finally got the power that the emperor should have. At this time, Liu Chan was already forty-five years old and had been making rubber stamps for twenty-eight years.

At this time, Chen Qi came. He had strong government affairs and could manage the common affairs of Shu Han in an orderly manner. He had strong coordination skills and could fully reconcile the conflicts between the pro-war factions and the pro-military factions. While appeased the Yizhou people, he supported Jiang Wei to continue the northern expedition. He also dared to take responsibility and took the blame for the emperor when there was a problem. The most important point was: he respected the emperor very much and did not take power at all. Shangshutai loyally carried out all the emperor's secret decrees. It can be said that during the six years of Chen Qi's rule, Liu Chan finally knew what the emperor was like.

Therefore, Liu Chan's feelings for Chen Fu were sincere.

Of course, some people left, and the rest had to continue living. Liu Chan thought about it over and over again and appointed Dong Jue as the Shangshu Ling. This guy was indeed a pity that he did not take the blame for the emperor, but compared with Zhuge Zhan, he did not have a stubborn temper. It was relatively acceptable.

In order to appease Zhuge Zhan, who regarded himself as the Secretary of the Shangshu Ling some time ago, Liu Chan rewarded his father's early official position: the Shangshu Pushe added a military advisor general - a child, I am still optimistic about you. Your father used to start as the Military Advisor General, so if you endure it for a few more years, I will let you be the Secretary of the Shangshu Ling.

Later, Liu Chan appointed Huang Hao as the Central Secretariat and the Chief of the Confederate. As soon as this news came out, the government and the country were in an uproar.

Brother! Didn’t your family claim to be the orthodox Han Dynasty? Then don’t you know that the ten eunuchs destroyed the great man back then? Now you have another eunuchs? Do we, the big man, also follow the old path of a big man?

...

"The above is what happened in the court at the beginning of this month. In general, we won a great victory. The only price is that your third uncle has no idle position."

"Well, thank you for your hard work in Uncle Third."

"It's just that the Shangshu Ling died, but Huang Hao was promoted. Alas, my future is worrying."

"Hehehe, Uncle San, I don't think so. This is the best choice for His Majesty to be helpless."

"oh?"

"Well, you have to think this way, Uncle San. Although Chen Zhonghou has been in power for the past six years, he has a bad reputation, but Chen Zhonghou has not made any money by himself, right? Most of my great man's common affairs are still doing well."

"It's true. Although Chen Fengzong has a bad reputation, he really doesn't make any money."

"So, Chen Zhonghou shared the responsibility for His Majesty and made his reputation bad."

"This...is actually His Majesty..."

"Yes, once you do things, you may make mistakes. There are only two situations where you are always wise. One is that you do not do things - this is how it is when the Prime Minister is there. The other is that someone takes the blame for him - this is how Chen Zhonghou."

"So Your Majesty releases Huang Hao..."

"Yes, Huang Hao will have to bear all the bad reputations for His Majesty in the future. Unfortunately, although Huang Hao has this awareness, he does not have the ethics of Chen Zhonghou, so Zhuge Siyuan still has to control the bottom line of the Shangshutai. However, Zhuge Siyuan does not have specific general affairs ability, so he has to let Dong Gong surrender the Shangshutai. Therefore, it makes sense for Your Majesty to postpone Chen Zhonghou: In the past, Chen Yu finished all the work of these three people. Now he has to get three people to build the stage. If this stage is not well built, the center of my great man will become increasingly weak."

"How do you have this melon-headed person? You are smart, you don't understand the basic etiquette of connecting people and things. You are stupid, but you can see through the things in the court thousands of miles away..."

Haha, because I am a time traveler.

"Well, I won't talk about these things anymore. Uncle San has worked hard to run back and forth. My nephew invites you to drink and eat potatoes."

"Potato? What is that."

"Haha, I'll know in a while. Xiaoqi, go and call Xiaoji and Datou."

After gathering with five Guans, they ran to a small hut in the back mountain. Guan Yi opened a jar of wine: "Uncle San, try it, this is the mulberry wine that has just been brewed."

Looking at the clear and transparent mulberry wine in the bowl and smelling the sweet fragrance coming from his nose, Guan Suo couldn't help but move the wine worms, quickly picked up the bowl, raised his head and drank it all.

"Huh~~~Good wine! Although it is not very strong, it is better because of its sweet taste. In my opinion, this wine is not only a man but also a woman."

"Haha, it's good if the third uncle thinks it's good. My nephew was originally planning to target women and rich young masters." Guan Yi smiled and talked to Guan Suo while keeping scattering in the charcoal fire.

"Okay, Uncle San, please try this. Well, Xiaoqi, you three are all here too. Especially you, Datou, you have taken care of this thing every day for more than a year, thank you for your hard work."

The four of them imitated Guan Yi and moved the black and trash-free potatoes on their skin with their hands. The golden flesh and a faint sweet fragrance all made people's index fingers move.

"Finally, finally, it's almost two years, and I finally dare to eat potatoes." Seeing this huge and fragrant potato, Guan Yi couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Well, delicious, delicious! Chi Nuer, what is this? Why have you never eaten it before?"

"This one can be called potatoes or yam eggs. It's a variant of yam. My nephew also accidentally discovered this one. Later, after more than two years of repeated planting, it finally reached 60,000 to 70,000." - This is the best excuse to hide it.

Guan Yi said this and his face tightened: "Da Tou, do you know how much this thing produces per mu?"

Guan Datou replied tremblingly: "Master, this thing is really amazing. I have calculated it alone by myself as you told me, and the yield per mu is more than 50 stones!"

"What!"

Hearing such a number, Guan Suo jumped up and his face was full of shock: "This... this, Datou, are you doing it wrong? It's ten times higher than the yield per mu of rice?!"

"Third Master, I don't believe it for the first time. I have calculated it three times, and it's all over 50 stones!"

"Haha, Uncle San, not only that, this thing is not as delicate as rice and wheat, but also the thin layer of soil in the mountains can grow well. One or two nests of land that is as big as a palm among the rugged rocks. With this thing, I have the confidence to increase the farming fields in Fuling County ten times!"

"Hiss~~~" Guan Suo's face was flushed and he was so excited that he couldn't suppress himself: "Good! Great Good! My great man will never suffer from the lack of food anymore!"

In the historical context, the population carrying capacity of the Han people in China is generally only about 100 million. If there are too many, the dynasty has changed and self-harm. However, the last dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, feeds 400 million people. It relies on high-yield crops in the Americas represented by potatoes. Specifically for the land controlled by Shu Han, before American crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn entered China's mountainous areas in the southwest were limited due to geographical conditions, and their cultivation area was very limited, but with potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, the arable land area in the southwest mountainous areas increased by more than a hundred times?

However, the effect of potatoes should not be exaggerated: the moisture content of this thing is as high as 75% (rice of the same weight is generally only 15%). Under the same weight, the carbohydrate content of potatoes is only one-quarter of the rice, and the protein content is even less than one-fifth. In other words, potatoes can fill their stomachs and provide calories that can sustain life. However, the brain needs to think about it very little. After all, this thing is just an alternative or a dish when there is enough food. As a staple food, it is indeed a bit worse.

In fact, the significance of potatoes to China is mainly to allow a large number of mountainous and hills in China to produce grain, thereby expanding the cultivation area.

"Hehehe, Uncle San, although this thing is good, my nephew is not ready to fully promote it."

"Why is this? Zifeng, although this thing can bring great profits to my Guan family. But this is food, not wine, wax or other things."

"Hey, where did Uncle San think of it? My nephew would not have disregarded the people of the world for the benefit of the family. The main reason for this is: My Han has not unified the world yet. Uncle San, think about it, if this thing was passed on to the pseudo-Wei and Eastern Wu, how much would it be produced with their land and manpower? Then the gap between my Han and the other two countries will become increasingly larger?"

"What you said makes sense. What are you going to do?"

"Intact potatoes must never leave the hills I selected. But we can sell potato flour and dried potato chips for extremely low prices."

"Well...this is OK."

"So Uncle San, I didn't even say anything about the orders and Guowei. Because this matter is too big. Only the five of us know for the time being. In the future, Uncle San, your task is to take charge of everything the potato production!"

"Prince, please rest assured, I will never be humiliated!"
