Saying that Mi Zhu came to vote, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and hurriedly went out of the county gate to greet him personally.

Mi Zhu held the gift book tightly in his arms, and waited respectfully outside the yamen, inevitably feeling a little nervous in his heart.

He was quite surprised to see Liu Bei leading everyone to greet him in person.

Although Liu Bei has not changed much in name, he is actually a prince, and he can actually value a businessman so much, Mi Zhu is flattered, and his admiration arises spontaneously.

He clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply: "Liu Yuanjun, Zhu came to congratulate according to the appointment!" ”

Mi Zhu's words are very simple, neither humble nor arrogant, but the etiquette is in place, which is very suitable for his identity as a bigwig in the shopping mall.

Liu Bei's joy was beyond words, he knew very well what Mi Zhu had come for.

Come by the covenant, what covenant?

Naturally, Zhao Chen asked him to reply to the agreed August 15 to admire the moon in Guangling City.

Mi Zhu got up slowly, glanced at the growing Liu Bei Group with a smile, and unconsciously wanted to search for the military advisor named Zhao Chen.

Liu Bei naturally knew that the two big men behind him, who were more than eight feet tall, were undoubtedly Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The person on the other side who looks like a civil official does not match his age.

Only Liu Bei was beside him, the young man who was slightly behind, dressed in a green shirt, graceful, steady as Mount Tai, from his eyes, Mi Zhu could see the confidence and calmness of the mountains like Pingchuan, the rivers as small pools, and the world as civilians

Mi Zhu expected that this person must be Liu Bei's new military advisor a month ago, Zhao Chen.

Only Zhao Chen dared to stand in a position that was almost level with Liu Bei.

It's just that what surprised Mi Zhu a little was Zhao Chen's hair, but looking back, even Liu Bei didn't care, why should he bother with a person with superior resourcefulness about his hair? In this troubled world, either with a sword in hand, or with a strategy to cling to a hegemon.

Obviously, Zhao Chen is the latter.

It's just that Mi Zhu is a little more worried, and Zhao Chen doesn't know how his sister will feel when she sees this situation.

After Mi Zhu saw Liu Bei, he turned his face sideways and glanced at Zhao Chen slightly, and then nodded.

Zhao Chen nodded, already knowing Mi Zhu's intentions in his heart.

Everyone welcomed Mi Zhu into the county office.

Liu Bei pulled Mi Zhu and arranged him in the position closest to him and Zhao Chen.

Mi Zhu understands that political status is about dedication and equivalent exchange, just like Zhao Chen can sit in the second place of Liu Bei Group with his wisdom, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sit firmly in the first and second positions of the ranks of military generals with their powerful martial arts, and he is not good at officialdom, so he can only rely on the etiquette book in his arms to get a seat.

He hurriedly got up, took out the gift book, and presented it in front of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei laughed heartily: "When Haixi County was in the past, Zizhong wanted to rescue Beibei in danger, and today Bei has just entered Guangling City, and Zizhong came to give a big gift, which really made Bei quite happy." ”

Then he naturally took the gift book handed by Mi Zhu and handed it to Zhao Chen on the side.

This simple move seems to tell Mi Zhu that in Liu Bei's group, Zhao Chen's position is extremely important.

And no one else said anything, as if it was all natural.

Zhao Chen nodded and took the gift book, his heart like a mirror.

Liu Bei is the lord after all, this move shows that he attaches great importance to himself, and secondly, there can also be a way out, let him check Mi Zhu's gift first, if it is not to his liking, naturally Zhao Chen will speak, and there is no need for Liu Bei to fight Mi Zhu's face.

Coming and going, Liu Bei can always be invincible.

Opening the gift book, Zhao Chen glanced at it roughly.

Good guy, the Mi family is really a wealthy family, there are 15,000 people in the family alone, 50,000 taels of silver, countless treasures, and more importantly, 3,000 good horses, which is extremely important for Liu Bei to gallop Xuzhou next.

It can be seen that the Mi family has staked everything.

Faced with Mi Zhu's generosity and strong business mind, Zhao Chen suddenly thought of one thing.

Looking at the whole of Xuzhou, the Mi family is the most suitable.

Seeing the moment Zhao Chen closed the gift book and smiled at Liu Bei, Mi Zhu knew that his family was really on Liu Bei's big ship.

He was about to go back to prepare for the handover of materials, when Zhao Chen got up two steps and stopped him.

"Zizhong stays."

Mi Zhu asked respectfully, "What do you command?" ”

Zhao Chen solemnly motioned for Mi Zhu to take a step to speak.

"Please wait for a while in the small corridor next to the county government hall, there is a task for you."

Mi Zhu suddenly realized that what Zhao Chen said next was probably very important.

He nodded, and walked quickly to the small corridor next to the county hall.

After a while, Zhao Chen came with a strange bag.

I saw Zhao Chen take out two yellow irregularly shaped objects from his bag and hand them to Mi Zhu.

The object has a slight green tinge on it, resembling small buds.

Mi Zhu had never seen this thing, and took it solemnly with both hands, waiting for Zhao Chen's orders.

Sure enough, Zhao Chen said solemnly: "Zizhong, what Chen said next, you must keep it in mind." ”

Mi Zhu nodded in agreement.

"The people take food as the sky, and the lord wants to chase the Central Plains, and grain and grass are indispensable. This thing is called potato, which is easy to survive and has a large yield, so Chen wants to entrust Zizhong to plant a large area. If successful, it can replace food. ”

Potatoes contain a lot of starch, protein, vitamins, and a lot of dietary fiber, which is an excellent food for hunger.

As soon as this remark came out, Mi Zhu was greatly surprised.

What are potatoes? It can actually replace food!

You must know that in troubled times, whoever has food can recruit people, and whoever has the initiative to swallow the world.

In the past few years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and countless people have not had enough to eat, and there are not a few people who have died of starvation.

"Easy children and food" is just four simple words in the history books, but it is a real thing that happened in this troubled world.

For the sake of a mouthful of food, it is even more common to fight and kill people.

If this thing is successfully planted on a large scale, wouldn't it be able to relieve the pressure on food.

Mi Zhu asked cautiously: "It has only been half an hour since Zhu entered the master's account. Strategist, why did you choose Zhu to grow such a valuable thing? ”

Zhao Chen smiled slightly, who are you Mi Zhu?

The largest wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, potatoes have changed from a few to tens of thousands of catties, and it is impossible without three or five years. Moreover, growing potatoes requires a lot of manpower and farmland. Nowadays, a lot of manpower has been invested in the war, and many remote farmlands have been abandoned, and it is even more time-consuming and laborious to redevelop them.

Therefore, if you want to grow potatoes on a large scale, you need to invest a lot of resources in the early stage.

Looking at the entire Xuzhou, I am afraid that only the Mi family shoulders this important responsibility.

The key and most important point is that Zhao Chen knows that in history, Mi Zhu will marry his sister Xu to Liu Bei. In other words, the Mi family is a relative of the emperor, and the Mi family controls the lifeline of food, which means that the state-owned holding is naturally the most assured.

It's just that these words can't be said to Mi Zhu.

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "This matter has nothing to do with the length of time it has been put into the main account, the key is loyalty." And Chen knew that Zizhong was loyal to the lord, and he was the most suitable person to preside over the planting of potatoes. ”

Hearing this, Mi Zhu looked at Zhao Chen excitedly.

As soon as he entered Liu Bei's account, the military advisor entrusted such an important matter to himself, and the trust of the military advisor was more valuable than anything.

can be recognized by Zhao Chen, and the Mi family will have more to rely on under Liu Bei's account in the future.

Luyun's marriage is also more possible.

The two of them have their own thoughts.

Mi Zhu assured Zhao Chen: "Don't worry, Zhu will definitely grow good potatoes." ”

"But, Strategist, I don't know how this thing is grown?"

Zhao Chen smiled slightly, potatoes were introduced to China after the sixteenth century, and it was normal for Mi Zhu not to know, but it was strange to see it.

He told Mi Zhu about the planting method, time and precautions, and then took out a written booklet and handed it to Mi Zhu.

"Do what you say above, and in five years, Xuzhou will be the granary of our army."

"Zizhong, I'll hand over my potatoes to you!"

Mi Zhu trembled and took the booklet, so moved that he didn't know how to speak, and immediately knelt on the ground and saluted.

Zhao Chen hurriedly helped him up.

After sending Mi Zhu away, Zhao Chen wrote a letter to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu and handed it to the messenger.

I found another empty room, wrapped myself in clothes, and went to sleep.

I didn't close my eyes all night, and Zhao Chen's legs trembled when he was tired.
