The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 80 Acacia Grass
Just like in nature, there are no pure herbivores, cattle, sheep, pigs and rabbits can actually eat meat.They are forced to eat grass because the cost of hunting is too high to afford meat.

It's the same with people, there is no eternal subject, there is no eternal servant, and whenever there is a chance, people will climb up.

Even if I came down trembling five seconds after climbing up, I still enjoyed it.

So when everyone agreed that the Han Empire was about to collapse, everyone had an idea.

For example, Han Fu, at the moment he is squinting, his mind wandering.

Cheng Yuanzhi originally wanted to remind him not to think too much, and express delivery must have the consciousness of being a courier, but in the end he sighed and said to him:
"Wen Jie, I like you."

After hearing this, Han Fu immediately calmed down.

He knew that if Yuan Kai could recommend him to be the shepherd of Jizhou, he could also recommend his adopted son and nephew as the shepherd of Jizhou.

The reason why Yuan Kui did not recommend his nephew was because he felt that the great man could be saved, and he wanted to find a good job for the younger generations in the court, to continue the glory of the fourth generation and three generations, and strive to be the fifth and third generations, and even the sixth, seventh, and third generations. Even eternally noble and infinite.

Once Yuan Kai finds signs that the Han Empire is about to collapse, he will do everything he can to plan for his nephews.

Even if it will take your life because of it, you are not afraid.

The banquet is still going on.

Everyone has also achieved their initial goals, so drinking is even more enjoyable.

Cheng Yuanzhi's appearance this time was perfect, and successfully made a group of civil servants and generals in Jizhou realize that the Yuan family is not limited to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but also Yuan She.

Han Fu's worries no longer exist—at least on the surface, Yuan She (Cheng Yuanzhi) supports him, and has no intention of taking his state pastor's seat.

Of course, even having this idea is not illegal.

A group of civil servants and generals in Jizhou were also very satisfied, and the compliments from the Yuan family's children greatly benefited them.

Even if the compliment came from the adopted son of the Yuan family, it was still very useful.

Who would mind having an extra path?
Han Fu?It's just a mediocrity. If the world is in chaos, Jizhou will belong to others sooner or later!
Shenpei, Tian Feng, and Jushou looked at each other, nodded to each other, and reached a tacit consensus.

Han Fu didn't know that some things had undergone essential changes without notice.

Cheng Yuanzhi picked up a dry broadleaf grass and hung it in the hall, smelled it, frowned and asked Han Fu, "Where did you get this thing?"

Han Fu was startled, and blurted out, "This is the wormwood, Cheng Shou, do you want it?"

"Do you have many of these?"

"Not much, just a few pieces."

Cheng Yuanzhi inspected the golden leaves, and said in a deep voice, "Wen Jie, this thing is not called lavender, but acacia."


Han Fu thought about it and said: "This thing is extremely rare. It grows in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is extremely difficult to collect. These pieces were presented by a hunter. I saw that the thick smoke after burning had a miraculous effect on mosquitoes, so I hung them in front of the hall. It is intended to be used to repel mosquitoes in summer and autumn."

The two extremes illustrate the rarity of this item.

"Well, I need all the information on that Orion, now!"

Han Fu took the broad-leaved grass, turned it over and over, and asked suspiciously, "What is the information?"

"Just ask him where he lives and what his last name is."

Suddenly, Han Fu waved to the hall.

A servant nodded and turned to leave.


"Cheng Shou, how should this acacia be used?"

Cheng Yuanzhi didn't explain to him, he found a piece of Caihou paper, cut it into strips, rubbed the broad-leaved grass into fine powder, and rolled it into a tube.

Then he picked up a burning firewood from the brazier, lit the cylinder, brought it to his mouth, took a long puff, and let out a puff of smoke ring comfortably.

Immediately, his soul came out of his body, and he was so happy that he was about to become a fairy.

Since coming to Dahan, he hasn't smoked for four or five years.

Suddenly touching this thing again, my head was extremely uncomfortable and dizzy.

It took a long time before it returned to normal.

Cheng Yuanzhi pointed to the blue smoke slowly coming out of the chimney, and explained: "This is the correct usage of acacia."

"This product is poisonous and addictive, please don't try it lightly."

Han Fu obviously didn't believe this set of rhetoric, because Cheng Yuanzhi's contented expression just now had deeply betrayed him.

You still suck so hard and look so refreshed when it’s poisonous?
I read so much, you don't want to fool me!

Thinking of this, Han Fu took the chimney, followed Cheng Yuanzhi's example, and took a sip...

Cough cough cough --

This thing is a bit over the top...

Han Fu shook his head, and leaned straight against the wall behind him, his whole body limp and unable to move.

After a while, I shook my head to recover a little, but still felt a little numb.

He said to Cheng Yuanzhi in a daze, "This thing is so powerful!"

Cheng Yuanzhi nodded slightly, said with a smile:

"The name of this thing is Tamba wild rice, also known as Acacia grass."

"According to legend: In the past, a scholar went to Beijing to answer the call. He passed a stone bridge and saw a beautiful woman in the clothes under the bridge. He was moved by it. He crossed the bridge and looked back three times, but he couldn't move forward."

"The girl in Huanyi also fell in love with the scholar, and they fell in love at first sight, so they agreed to marry the scholar when he came back after taking office."

"That year, after a scholar went to Beijing to take a post, he was immediately sent to the frontier and returned after three years. He couldn't wait to beat the gongs and drums to marry a woman."

"It's a pity that the stone bridge is still there, and Yiren has passed away."

"The woman in the clothes had passed away a month ago. The scholar was extremely sad, and he worshiped in front of the woman's grave. After crying bitterly, he suddenly fell into a dream. It was difficult to distinguish between the real and the illusion, and saw a woman floating towards him. Yes, the scholar is overjoyed."

"The woman's voice and smile are still the same, and she came to the front and said: I know your heart well, but it is a pity that now Yin and Yang are separated, and there is no fate in this life. If you can't get rid of the pain of lovesickness, you can move the broad-leaved grass on the grave to be planted until it grows. After it is finished, collect its leaves and store them in the sun. If lovesickness comes, you can roll it up and suck it to relieve your thoughts.”

"The scholar woke up and knew it was a dream. He looked around and saw a broad-leaved grass tree next to the woman's grave, so he did what he said. Whenever he misses the woman who washes the clothes, he rolls the leaves and smokes it."

"When the broad-leaved grass is burning, the scholar seems to vaguely see the shy smile of the laundry woman, and the pain of lovesickness disappears."

"Because you can't live without it after taking it, and you will feel extremely uncomfortable if you don't take it for a while. So scholars named this grass Acacia."

Originally, it was just an ordinary leaf, but when Cheng Yuanzhi said this, he suddenly became taller.

Everyone in the hall snatched it up and sucked it up.

There is too little entertainment in this era, celebrities read books when they have nothing to do, read a book thousands of times, and drink and recite poems, otherwise they just smoke five stone powder.

However, Wushi powder is too expensive, not only expensive, ordinary people can't afford it, but also has sequelae of dryness and rash.

In addition, its efficacy is similar to that of actinolite. After taking it, I can't help but want to go home and play with my wife, which takes extra money.

Therefore, scholars who pretend to be noble are not very willing to smoke that thing.

And Acacia, there are no such side effects at all.

The inhalation makes you feel ecstatic, and all your worries disappear instantly. Although you feel uncomfortable, you quickly return to normal.

Simply divine!

So, when the old Orion came to the State Shepherd's Mansion, he was surrounded by three layers of people inside and three layers outside.

Those who surrounded him were not only Mu Hanfu of Jizhou, but also Cheng Yuanzhi, and all the civil officials of Jizhou.

Tian Feng offered to exchange ten taels of gold for the location where the acacia was found. The old Orion struggled fiercely for a while, then shook his head reluctantly, and said in a deep voice:
"no!"

"I have to pay more!"

In the end, he was slapped on the head by the judge and forced to pay five taels of silver, and then he was kicked by Qu Yi and led a group of soldiers to detain him.

The appraiser snorted coldly: "If you don't eat a toast, you will be punished!"

Tian Fenghe gave a push.

Others echoed, "That's right!"

Cheng Yuanzhi originally wanted to remind the judge to treat the old Orion better, because the method of growing tobacco is not very good for ordinary people at the beginning.

Then I thought I would do it myself, so I dismissed the idea.

Han Fu watched the performance of his subordinates the whole time, without saying a word, fully showing the cowardly Shaoyi.

Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly understood many things.
