The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 6 Seeking Knowledge of Fuling County ([-])
After sending Liao Hua away, the sky had already darkened.It's past time for dinner in Guanfu.But this is nothing, as the current head of the Guan family, the head of the family does not need to worry about food when he is hungry.

The chef's servants quickly brought out a large table of dishes, but Guan Yi couldn't put down his chopsticks looking at these things.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, there was no concept of cooking.All food can only be steamed and boiled.The seasonings for cooking are only onions, ginger, garlic, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.There are a lot of Sichuan peppercorns in the Shuhan area, but they are not very popular without peppers.As for MSG, let’s not say that people in this era have not noticed this thing.Even if Guan Yi, as a time traveler, knows that it is not difficult to produce this kind of thing.But this kind of thing that either needs a lot of kelp, seaweed, or a lot of grain to make is absolutely unimaginable in Shuhan, a country that is not a coastal country and most of the food is supplied to the army.

Therefore, in the short term, Guan Yi's appetite cannot be resolved.By the way, the young master still has the only golden finger that has traveled through time.

Hastily poured food that was delicious to others, but to Guan Yi, it was no different from chewing wax into his stomach.Go back to your room and close the door.Take out a small knife, put it on the candlestick and heat and disinfect it repeatedly.After the temperature of the blade dropped down, Guan Yi let out a slight breath.Quickly cut the super potato that had just been cultivated in the laboratory into four pieces.

"Xiaoqi."

"The servant is here."

"Find four pots and fill them with soil."

There was no other way, it was September and the temperature was not low.The potato must be planted, otherwise the potato will rot in at most three months.Although this is not the right season for planting potatoes, who made himself wear it at such an inappropriate time?Only a dead horse can be treated as a living horse doctor.

Guan Xiaoqi silently arranged everything for Guan Yi, without asking herself why the noble patriarch suddenly wanted to make potted plants.He waited until he saw that Guan Yi was busy with the things in his hands before he said: "Patriarch, just now Her Royal Highness asked someone to come over to deliver a message. He said that if the Patriarch finishes eating, please go to her side."

That turbulent widow, wants to see me in the dead of night?Could it be that you want to develop an unlucky relationship with me?Hahaha, it's okay to think about it.But just think about it.

The body that Guan Yi passed through was actually no longer the first brother.Thinking about it, they are both 23 years old. In this era, they are definitely older unmarried youths.It is true that Liu Chan has too many sons but pitifully few daughters.After Liu Chan's eldest daughter married Zhuge Zhan.For a long time no daughter was born.Later, she finally had a daughter, this Liu Ling.At that time, brothers Guan Tong and Guan Yi were already seven years old.So Guan Tong had to wait sadly for the princess for 16 years.And the eldest son is not married, so Guan Yi, the concubine, has no way of getting married—but this does not prevent him from having a housewarming girl, nor does it prevent him from going to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion of CD to play on occasion.

It's a pity that 16 years of waiting only brought about a short reunion of less than a year... Hey... my sister-in-law is also a poor person.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, Confucianism did not rise.The society is very tolerant when women lose their husbands and remarry.So, what does this sister-in-law ask her to do?Want to talk about remarriage?
"Guan Yi met his sister-in-law."

"Uncle, you don't need to be too polite, please sit down, uncle."

"Thank you sister-in-law, I didn't know that sister-in-law called Guan Yi over..."

"Uncle, you are a woman, and you shouldn't be involved in matters between men. But Zhuge Siyuan came to visit just now, but what can make uncle difficult? You are from the Guan family. As long as Zhuge Siyuan has something to make uncle The embarrassment. You can go to the palace to argue with your father."

Oh!It turned out that it wasn't about remarriage, but about fighting for an official position for me!This sister-in-law is nice.

After listening to Liu Ling's words, Guan Yi suddenly raised her head, and boldly met her sister-in-law's eyes.

"Uncle..." Facing Guan Yi's aggressive gaze, Liu Ling dodged in panic.It's just that a layer of blush quickly appeared on her pretty face, which was as white as warm jade.

"Sister-in-law Tired is worried. Just now Zhuge Siyuan did make a suggestion for my younger brother's future. The general meaning is that I hope that my younger brother will not stay in CD and go to the border county to work."

"Ah! Why is the son of the prime minister's family like this? My Guan family is full of loyalty. How can you be so mean?"

"Sister-in-law doesn't have to be like this. In fact, knowing far away counties is what Guan Yi wants."

"Why did uncle say that?"

"Well, sister-in-law, please listen to Guan Yi's explanation..."

It can be said that everything in this world, as long as it involves politics, is extremely complicated.Guan Yi, the three generations of officials in this declining family, the appointment of his official position actually involved all aspects.

Generally speaking, the boss Liu Bei is quite kind, and he is generally good to his subordinates.As for Liu Chan, although there are various problems.But he is not a mean and ungrateful master. To the descendants of the Yuan Cong faction who followed his father's hard work to start a business, he is generally more generous: You can do things if you want to.For example, Zhao Yun's two sons, Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang.He has a good family education and has maintained the tradition of military commanders, and he is not willing to stay in the luxury of CDs.They will follow the general Jiang Wei to endure hardships in the field army.That's no problem, just send you to follow Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition.

You are useless and don't want to do things.Yes, high-ranking officials and generous salary will support you—although Shu Han is small and weak, and there are few private households.But Liu Chan never hesitated to reward the descendants of Yuan Congpai.The Mi family, the Jian family, the Zhang family, and even the previous Guan family were like this.

But Liu Chan's actions made the Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou faction very, very dissatisfied: Why can people get high officials and rich salary without doing anything after these wastes of Yuan Cong?Why our Dongzhou faction has been marginalized since Wu Yi's death.Why should our Yizhou faction pay money and food all day long to support the Northern Expedition, and still be suppressed politically?
In the 35th year since the founding of the Shuhan Dynasty, the dissatisfaction between the Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou faction became more and more serious day by day.Especially after the last big brother of the Jingzhou faction, General Fei Yi, was assassinated.This kind of dissatisfaction can be said to be vented without any scruples.It became a source of turmoil in the Shu Han Dynasty.

Now, the Minister of Shu Han is Chen Yu.This is a versatile and excellent political master.For the first time since the founding of the Shu Han, the ruling position fell into the hands of someone other than the Jingzhou faction——Chen Yu's ancestral home was Runan County in Yuzhou.Both of his parents died when he was young, so he was adopted by his uncle Xu Jing.Later, when Xu Jing became an official of Liu Zhang, Chen Yu also followed Xu Jing to live in Yizhou—so, this is Dongzhou faction.

Of course, the Jingzhou faction, Dongzhou faction, and Yizhou faction, which are divided according to regional origin, are not absolute.People from Yizhou also took the initiative to move closer to the Jingzhou faction, and people from Jingzhou who had been in Yizhou for a long time also moved closer to the Yizhou faction.The reason why Liu Chan chose Chen Yu as Minister of the Book was because Chen Yu had no obvious position.

In terms of military affairs, Chen Yu was deeply aware of the weakness of the Shu Han. Facing the mighty Cao Wei, he could only use offense instead of defense, looking for breakthrough opportunities in the constant attack.So he is Jiang Wei's powerful ally in court.

In terms of politics, Chen Yu never thought of which faction he belonged to, if he insisted on which faction he was—then he was the emperor faction.Everything takes Liu Chan's intention as the policy program.Therefore, he did not exclude the eunuch Huang Hao from intervening in government affairs - it was not the emperor's intention that eunuchs could intervene in government affairs.For Huang Hao's greed, Chen Yu didn't restrict too much - as long as it wasn't too much.

But it is this unprincipled practice of maintaining unity with His Majesty the Emperor.The Jingzhou faction, which has lost power for the first time in more than 30 years, is deeply disturbed-the Shu Han's policy of suppressing Yizhou aristocratic families for many years is faltering.The power of the local aristocratic family is recovering.The embezzlement of small people by local tyrants from all walks of life has begun to rise-the number of household registrations controlled by the country's accounts is decreasing at a rate of nearly [-] people every year!The civil servant system of the Shu Han Dynasty, which was clean, efficient, and uncompromising in the past, is collapsing collectively!If this goes on, the country doesn't need Cao Wei to fight, and it will be over for itself!
Zhuge Liang's eldest son, Zhuge Zhan, who considers himself wise and powerful, always takes it as his duty to become the leader of the Jingzhou faction again.His goal is to unify the Jingzhou faction and the Yuancong faction, re-establish the Jingzhou faction in Shuhan, and continue to suppress the policies of the Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou faction.

To achieve this goal, Zhuge Zhan still worked hard: he also recognized the strong dissatisfaction of the Yizhou faction.And I think their dissatisfaction is justified-the most money and food are paid, and the least official positions and rewards are obtained.Who would like it after a long time?
Therefore, Zhuge Zhan's governance philosophy is: stop the Northern Expedition and recuperate.The descendants of the Yuancong faction and the Jingzhou faction all went out to work, washing away the stigma of waste and at the same time controlling the real power of the local and national powers.Give up the false names of high officials and rich salary, and appease the Dongzhou faction and Yizhou faction.To achieve national unity!
He did this, of course there were people who opposed it.The first is the military's backlash: what's the point of Qiu Ba's group if they don't fight?Besides, you say you won't fight if you don't fight?Have you asked Cao Wei about it?There is also the backlash from the waste descendants of the Yuan Cong faction and the Jingzhou faction: Xiaoye's official uniform was earned by his ancestors, so you can take it off as soon as you say it?
Therefore, Zhuge Zhan had to find a breakthrough and let a descendant of the Yuan Cong faction take the lead in responding to his call.And the Guan family is his best target under the current situation.
