After sending Liao Hua away, the sky had already darkened. It's past time for dinner in Sekifuri. But this is nothing, as the current head of the Guan Mansion, the head of the family does not need to worry about food when he is hungry.

The cook's subordinates quickly made a large table of dishes, but Guan Yi couldn't put down chopsticks when he looked at these things.

In the Three Kingdoms era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no concept of stir-frying. All food can only be steamed. The steaming seasonings are only green onions, ginger, garlic, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. There are a lot of pepper in the Shu Han region, but that thing is not very popular without chili peppers. And what about MSG, let's not say that people in this era have not noticed this thing. Even if Guan Yi, as a traverser, knows that it is not difficult to produce this kind of thing. But this kind of thing, which either requires a lot of kelp, seaweed, or a lot of grain to make, is also unimaginable in Shuhan, a country that is not on the coast, and the vast majority of grain has to be supplied to the army.

Therefore, in the short term, Guan Yi's appetite cannot be solved. By the way, the master still has the only golden finger that has crossed over.

hastily poured into the stomach food that seemed delicious to others and was tantamount to chewing wax for Guan Yi. Go back to your room and drop the door. Take out a knife and put it on the candlestick to heat and sterilize it repeatedly. Later, after the temperature of the blade cooled down, Guan Yi exhaled slightly. Quickly cut this super potato that had just been bred in the lab into four pieces.

"Little Seven."

"The slave is here."

"Go find four pots, fill them with soil."

There is no way, it is September at this time, and the temperature is not low. The potato must be planted, otherwise in a maximum of three months, the potato will rot. Although this is not the right time to grow potatoes, who made themselves wear them at such an inopportune time? Only dead horses are live horse doctors.

Guan Xiaoqi silently arranged everything for Guan Yi, and didn't ask himself why the noble family owner suddenly wanted to make potted plants. After seeing Guan Yi finish the things in hand, he spoke: "Family master, just now Her Royal Highness the princess asked someone to come over to talk. He said that if the head of the house finished eating, please go to her side. ”

That choppy widow wants to see me in the dead of night? Do you want to develop an indecent love affair with me? Hahaha, it's okay to think about it. But just think about it.

The body that Guan Yi crossed was actually not the first brother for a long time. Come to think of it, they are all twenty-three years old, and in this era, they are definitely older unmarried young people. It is really Liu Chan who has many violent sons, but few daughters. Liu Chan's eldest daughter married Zhuge Zhan. No daughter was born for a long time. Later, I finally had a daughter, this Liu Ling. At that time, the brothers Guan Tong and Guan Yi were already seven years old. So Guan Tong had to wait for this princess for sixteen years. And the eldest son is not married, and Guan Yi, the concubine, cannot get married - but this does not prevent him from having a girl in a warm house, nor does it prevent him from going to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion of the CD to make a scene.

It's a pity that the sixteen-year wait was only exchanged for a brief reunion of less than a year...... Ay...... This sister-in-law of mine is also a poor person.

During the Three Kingdoms era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, science did not rise. Women who lose their husbands and remarry are very tolerant of society. So, what is this sister-in-law looking for herself? Do you want to talk about remarriage?

"Guan Yi has seen her sister-in-law."

"Uncle doesn't have to be polite, uncle, please take a seat."

"Thank you, sister-in-law, I don't know if my sister-in-law asked Guan Yi to come over......"

"Uncle, she is a woman, and she shouldn't be involved in things between men. But Zhuge Siyuan came to visit just now, but what made my uncle embarrassed? Ji is a member of the Guan family, as long as Zhuge Siyuan has something that makes his uncle embarrassed. You can go into the palace to argue with your father. ”

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

After listening to Liu Ling's words, Guan Yi raised his head violently and looked at his sister-in-law very boldly.

"Uncle......" Liu Ling faced Guan Yi's aggressive gaze and dodged away in a panic. It's just that the pretty face as white and flawless as warm jade quickly floated a layer of redness.

"I'm tired and my sister-in-law is worried. Just now, Zhuge Siyuan did make suggestions for the future of the younger brother. The general meaning is that I hope that the younger brother will not stay in the CD and go to the border county to take up a post. ”

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

"Sister-in-law doesn't have to be like this. In fact, knowing other counties from afar is also what Guan Yi wants. ”

"Why does Uncle say that?"

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

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

Liu Bei, the boss, is generally more kind-hearted and generally good to his subordinates. Liu Chan, although there are such and such problems. But he is not a mean and unkind master, and he is generally more generous to the descendants of the Yuan Cong faction who followed his father's hard work to start a business: You have to do things, you can. For example, Zhao Yun's two sons, Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang. The family has a good upbringing, maintains the tradition of military generals, and does not want to stay in the CD paper drunk gold fans. They had to follow the general Jiang Wei to suffer in the field army. That's no problem, just send you to follow Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition.

You are scrap and don't want to do things. Yes, the high-ranking official Houlu raised you - although the Shu Han State is weak and the number of households is small. But Liu Chan never hesitated to reward the descendants of the Yuan Cong faction. The Mi family, the Jian family, the Zhang family, and even the former Guan family are all like this.

But Liu Chan's move made the Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou faction very, very dissatisfied: why do people who don't have to do anything after these Yuan Cong's wastes can be high-ranking officials? Why did our Dongzhou faction start to be marginalized since Wu Yi died. Why should we Yizhou send money and grain to support the Northern Expedition all day and night, and still be politically suppressed?

In the thirty-five years since the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty, the dissatisfaction of the Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou faction has become even worse. Especially after the last big man of the Jingzhou faction, the great general Fei Yi, was assassinated. This dissatisfaction can be said to be vented without scruples. It became a source of turmoil in the Shu Han Dynasty.

Now, Shu Han's Shangshu order is Chen Yuan. This is a versatile and excellent master of governance. For the first time since the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty, the ruling position fell into the hands of someone other than the Jingzhou faction - Chen Yuan's ancestral home was Runan County in Yuzhou. When he was young, his parents died, so he was adopted by his maternal uncle Xu Jing. Later, Xu Jing became Liu Zhang, and Chen Yuan followed Xu Jing into Yizhou to live - so, this is the Dongzhou faction.

Of course, there is no absoluteness in the Jingzhou faction, the Dongzhou faction, and the Yizhou faction, which are divided according to regional origin. There are also people from Yizhou who take the initiative to move closer to the Jingzhou faction, and people from Jingzhou have been in Yizhou for a long time, and there are also people who are close to the Yizhou faction. And the reason why Liu Chan chose Chen Yuan as Shang Shuling was because Chen Yuan had no obvious position.

In terms of military affairs, Chen Yuan was deeply aware of the weakness of Shu Han, and in the face of the powerful Cao Wei, he could only replace defense with offense, looking for opportunities for breakthroughs in the continuous offensive. So he is Jiang Wei's powerful ally in the court.

In terms of politics, Chen Yuan never thinks which faction he is, but he has to say which faction - then he is the emperor's faction. Everything is based on Liu Chan's intention as the policy program. So 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. Regarding Huang Hao's greed, Chen Yuan does not limit too much - as long as it is not excessive.

But it is precisely this unprincipled practice of maintaining unity with His Majesty the Emperor. The Jingzhou faction, which had lost power for the first time in more than 30 years, was deeply disturbed - Shu Han's policy of suppressing the Yizhou family for many years was wavering. The power of the native families 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 state is decreasing at a rate of nearly 10,000 people every year! The former Shu Han civil service system, which was honest and efficient, and did not tolerate treachery, is collectively degenerating! If this continues, the country doesn't need Cao Wei to fight, and it will be doomed!

Zhuge Liang's eldest son, Zhuge Zhan, who considered himself wise and martial, always took it as his responsibility to re-become the leader of the Jingzhou faction. His goal was to unite 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.

And to achieve this goal, Zhuge Zhan still put a lot of effort into it: he also recognized the strong dissatisfaction of the Yizhou faction. And they think that their dissatisfaction is justified - they pay the most money and food, and get the least official positions and rewards. After a long time, who is willing?

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 do things, washing away the stigma of waste and controlling the real power of the local and national governments. Let go of the false names of high-ranking officials and Houlu, and appease the Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou faction. So as to achieve national unity!

He did this, and of course there were opponents. The first is the military's backlash: if you don't fight, what's the point of the Qiuba? Besides, if you don't fight, you won't fight? Have you asked Cao Wei? There is also the backlash of the people after the waste of the Yuancong faction and the Jingzhou faction: The official uniform of the master was earned by the ancestor of the master, and you said that if you take it off, you will take it off?

Therefore, Zhuge Zhan must 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 in the current situation.
