The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chen Ziming, who had no hope, didn't pay attention to the last box. When he heard Liu Bei's inquiry, he looked up. When he saw what Liu Bei was holding in his hand, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, gasped heavily, and ran over excitedly.

"Your Majesty, this item was obtained from a small remote country. I don't know what it is. I walked by the field and saw this item planted in the field, so I asked someone to dig some and bring it back..."

Before Chen Zhen finished speaking, Chen Ziming had already squeezed away the crowd, excitedly watching the movement inside the box, and suddenly burst out laughing, arousing everyone's suspicious eyes.

"Ziming, what is this, why are you so excited?"

Seeing Chen Ziming's excitement, Liu Bei also became interested, and hurriedly asked.

"This is a divine object. With this object, there will be no more people who starve to death in the big man!"

Chen Ziming carefully looked at the small half box of things, and said excitedly, the big man is saved.

"Oh?"

After hearing Chen Ziming's answer, everyone became interested. They didn't expect Chen Ziming to know this kind of thing, and the evaluation was so high.

"This is a treasure, brother, don't break it." When Chen Ziming found that Liu Bei was still holding one, he hurriedly snatched it, carefully put it into the box, and then had someone carry it away.

"See the Prime Minister." Meng Guang, adjutant of the Ministry of Agriculture, saw Chen Ziming coming and hurriedly saluted.

"Xiaoyu, no courtesy, come and see the baby." Chen Ziming asked Meng Guang to carry the box. Meng Guang was a good farmer, and now he was one of the adjutants of the Ministry of Agriculture, and he was very good at farming.

"promise."

When Meng Guang saw the things in the box, he looked puzzled. He had never seen such a thing before, and immediately looked at Chen Ziming with a questioning look.

"It's called potatoes. The mission learned about it by accident in a small country in the west. It can be used as a staple food."

That's right, what Chen Ziming saw was potatoes, the movement he wanted most, but Chen Ziming didn't know that potatoes originated from it, and he didn't have any hope for Chen Zhen and others, and as far as Chen Ziming knew, many high-yielding foods grew In the Americas, it spread to Eurasia hundreds or even thousands of years later.

But he didn't expect Chen Zhen to be able to get the potatoes back. Although they don't look big, they are indeed potatoes.

"It can be used as a staple food!?"

Who is Meng Guang?

And the so-called staple food is not comparable to those fruits and wild fruits. The staple food of the big man is only rice and wheat, and sorghum can only be regarded as supplementary food, and not many people are willing to grow it.

"Yes." Chen Ziming said excitedly: "The most important thing is that the yield of potatoes is high, about [-] shi per mu!"

"what!"

Meng Guang was taken aback when he heard that, twenty shi, what a terrifying yield, one must know that rice is only about five to seven shi per acre, and it can only be done when the weather is favorable.

"Moreover." Chen Ziming said excitedly: "Potatoes are easy to grow, and there is no requirement for the terrain. Even on the hillside, they can be planted. They are resistant to cold and heat, and they can even grow in yellow sand."

"This......"

Meng Guang was stunned by Chen Ziming's words. If the potatoes were really what Chen Ziming said, then they were definitely a godsend. However, Meng Guang didn't really believe what Chen Ziming said. How could there be such food in the world.

"Come on, let's try planting."

Chen Ziming approached Meng Guang to entrust him with this important task. Although Chen Ziming wanted to plant potatoes himself, he didn't have so much time and there were still many things he needed to do. Meng Guang was the best candidate.

"Okay." Meng Guang hesitated a little, and decided to try planting potatoes with Chen Ziming. If the potatoes are as Chen Ziming said, then it will definitely be a blessing for the big man.

Although Chen Ziming has never grown potatoes, he has heard of them. It is very simple.

After choosing a piece of fertile land, Chen Ziming cut up the germinated potatoes, carefully buried them in the soil, and then asked people to fertilize them. Of course, there is no industrial fertilizer in this era. The so-called fertilizer is the kind of thing produced artificially.

Chen Ziming didn't care about the stench, carefully supervised every step, and asked Meng Guang and others to write down one by one. The potatoes that Chen Zhen brought back were not many, and the potatoes had already germinated for so long in the past.

Chapter 659 Three Departments and Two Houses

After a busy day, all the potatoes were finally planted, and the potatoes brought back by Chen Zhen were only enough to plant a little more than one acre.

In order to protect these potatoes, Chen Ziming ordered people to build guardrails around them, and at the same time dispatched a team of soldiers to guard the place for a long time, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach it at all.

Since then, Chen Ziming came to observe the growth of potatoes whenever he was free, which made Liu Bei dumbfounded. The majestic prime minister went to plant the land. Although Chen Ziming repeatedly told Liu Bei the importance of potatoes, Liu Bei didn't believe it at all.

Chen Ziming was simply talking about the heavenly scriptures, how could there be such a fetish in the world, if there was one, it would have been famous all over the world long ago, why is it still unknown, and this thing came from a remote place in the west, how could Chen Ziming know.

But Chen Ziming insisted on this, and Liu Bei didn't say much, there were many things waiting for him to do.

As time went by, at the end of January in the first year of the Han calendar, the Great Han Senate was finally formed. The first Senate was too often only 90 people, all of whom were hand-picked by Liu Bei, and each had its own field of expertise.

The most important thing is that there were not many people who represented the clan afterwards, such as Xuzhou Chen Gui, Langya Zhuge Xuan, and Hedong guards. . . . . .

These people are all representatives of one party. The most important thing is that these people are sensible and dare not confront Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei can control the Senate. The first Senate is actually a puppet controlled by Liu Bei. They cannot represent the people of the world at all.

But Chen Ziming didn't object, because he knew that even if he was selected step by step from the local area, he would not be able to get rid of Liu Bei's control. As long as Liu Bei did not delegate power for a day, no one in the world could restrain Liu Bei.

The establishment of the Senate was completed, and the first session of the Parliament was held immediately to elect ministers of various ministries.

According to the simple process formulated by Chen Ziming, the candidates for the election have always expressed their strengths to the council, how to do a good job in the position they have chosen, and what kind of achievements they will make during their tenure.

Without any accidents, the candidates for the election were unanimously approved, and the whole country was immediately notified, and all the ministers were in place one after another.

Chen Ziming served as the first prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and Guo Jia served as the deputy prime minister who controlled the military and political power. If Chen Ziming was absent or had an accident, Guo Jia would assume the power of prime minister to ensure the normal operation of the state apparatus.

The head of the Administrative Council is Chen Gong, and the deputy is Mi Zhu.The head of the military department was Guan Yu, and the adjutant was unexpectedly Zhang Ji.

However, if he entered the military headquarters, he would lose the right to command the troops. This was also a disguised form of taking back Zhang Ji's military power. Guan Yu was in the military headquarters, and Zhang Ji was just a display without any real power.

Army chief Zhang Fei and deputy Huang Zhong.

Gan Ning, the chief officer of the navy, and Lu Ji, the adjutant.

Then there is the City Guard Army Department, the chief officer Tai Shici, and the deputy Gao Shun.

Needless to say, these people are definitely Liu Bei's confidantes. As for Lu Ji, he was originally the commander of the navy in Jiangdong, but was later captured and served Liu Bei.

Because of the serious shortage of naval generals, Chen Ziming dispatched many famous generals to the navy in order to make the navy stronger, most of whom were Jiangdong generals. After all, many Jiangdong generals had record in water battles.

Although many generals are Sun Quan's confidantes, not to mention Sun Quan's disappearance now, just because Zhou Yu slaughtered their family members can make them completely give up on Jiang Dong.

Many generals in Jiangdong were born in clans, but many of them were not as lucky as the Lu family. Because Lu Ji joined Liu Bei early, their family was also taken to live in Linzi, so they escaped a catastrophe.

But the family members of the generals were not so lucky. Zhou Yu was jealous, but no matter whose family members you were, under Chen Ziming's hint, they all had to be killed.This also made these generals completely disappointed with Jiangdong, or completely disappointed with the Sun family.

At the same time, under Liu Bei's personal persuasion, many generals pledged their allegiance to Liu Bei. Of course, there were also a few unreasonable people among them. The one who disappointed Chen Ziming the most was Lu Su, a great talent.

But even if Lu Su is willing to join Liu Bei, I am afraid Chen Ziming will object, because Lu Su knows Zhou Yu too well, and the real reason for the massacre of Jiangdong cannot be hidden from Lu Su, but Lu Su's family was also massacred.

Lu Su is too smart, destined to have no chance of freedom.
