Chapter 169
For Emperor Liu Xie and the civil and military officials who were used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, the potato banquet was just a fresh meal, not very delicious.
Due to the lack of many seasonings and ingredients.
Today’s potato banquet includes baked potatoes, steamed potatoes, mashed potatoes, potato cakes, potato shreds, potato stew, etc.
There are also very luxurious French fries, cumin potatoes, etc.
It fully demonstrates the diversity of edible potatoes.
It can be used as a staple food and a dish.
When returning to Chang’an City,
Gu Chang’an prepared some potatoes and a book of eating methods for each civil and military minister.
When Gu Chang’an and his men were about to leave, some old farmers looked at Gu Chang’an from a distance and knelt down to kowtow to him.
They looked excited, their lips trembled”one, one, four, seven, four, seven”, and they wanted to speak but couldn’t.
Only these old people who had experienced famine understood that the appearance of potatoes would prevent anyone from starving to death in their families.
Gu Chang’an smiled slightly and nodded in greeting.
He knew very well in his heart.
With the bumper harvest of potatoes
, there will be no resistance to the promotion of potatoes in the entire Guanzhong area.
Don’t be fooled by the strange words spoken by the civil and military officials.
After they return, I’m afraid they will try to plant potatoes in their fields as soon as possible.
Although only potatoes were harvested today, and no corn was harvested.
However, some people have noticed the crop of corn.
Many people are not fully aware of the impact of potatoes and corn.
With the promotion of potatoes and corn, the entire Han Dynasty will surely usher in a rapid growth in population.
At that time, the situation in the world will change again….
During this period of time, not many major events happened in the whole world.
Zhang Liao of Yanzhou was building a city.
Cao Cao was practicing street fighting.
Both sides were accumulating minions, and no conflict broke out.
At this time, an imperial edict was announced to the world.
The princes, subjects and common people in the world were shocked.
The imperial edict appointed Gu Changan as the prime minister, and conferred him the title of Marquis of Ying, with a fief of ten thousand households.
This is the legendary Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.
The first rank among the marquises, the number of fiefs is several times that of the Marquis of Guanjun.
Marquis of Ying was the title of Xiao He, the first meritorious minister of the Han Dynasty.
Now it is conferred on Gu Changan.
The reason for giving Gu Changan such a large title is written very clearly in this edict.
“By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims:”
“I have heard that the creatures of heaven and earth are mysterious and unpredictable. Now there is a general named Gu Chang’an who is diligent in farming and has obtained a rare treasure, which is neither soil nor grain, but called potato. Its yield is abundant, reaching 1,000 kilograms per acre. This is a blessing from heaven and earth and a great blessing for the world. Gu’s contribution is indeed a blessing for the country and a model for the people.”
“Gu’s contribution is beyond common sense, so I hereby commend him and confer him the title of Marquis of Ying, a rank of marquis, as a token of my appreciation. The title of Marquis of Ying is not given lightly, but because of his outstanding achievements, he deserves this honor. He is granted a fief of 10,000 households to show his contribution to the country and his kindness to the people.”
“I hope that civil and military officials can uphold this industry and promote this product to benefit the people of the world and share the abundance. I will also spread this potato method to all places to increase the prosperity of agriculture and enrich the country and strengthen the people. This decree will take effect immediately.”……
Yanzhou, Juancheng.
Cao Cao threw down the edict and sneered
“This is sheer nonsense. They are so shameless to say that they want to produce a thousand kilograms per mu just to create auspicious signs!”
Xun Yu pondered for a moment and slowly said,”My lord, this matter is of great importance. We still have to find a way to confirm whether it is true!”
“That’s right!” Cao Cao’s eyes lit up.
“If Gu Changan is lying, we can just announce it to the world, so that everyone in the world can know Gu Changan’s true face!”
After careful consideration, Chen Gong said:”My lord, we can also publicize Gu Changan’s conspiracy!”
“He created auspicious signs, which might be detrimental to the emperor of the Han Dynasty!”
Cheng Yu also nodded and said,”My lord, Gu Changan made a stupid move in this matter. Maybe the whole world will attack him!”
Cao Cao was a little excited.
He paced a few steps in place.
“Quick! Quick!”
“Send spies to Chang’an City and get evidence of Gu Chang’an’s fraud!”……
Jizhou, Ye County………
“I don’t believe it. This is simply ridiculous. If the yield per mu increases tenfold, he might as well write 100 times!”
Yuan Shao said disdainfully……….
Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Xu You and others were also somewhat puzzled.
They looked at each other.
There was some confusion in each other’s eyes.
They obviously couldn’t understand why Gu Changan would do such a thing at this time?
They didn’t believe at all that what was written in the imperial edict was true.
This must be an edict issued by Emperor Liu Xie under the coercion of Gu Changan.
What they couldn’t understand was that the civil and military officials in the court had no integrity at all?
They allowed such an absurd edict to be announced to the world.
Tian Feng pondered for a moment and said,”My lord, Gu Changan’s move may have a deep meaning, and we need to respond with caution!”
“Ha!” Yuan Shao smiled coldly.
He said:”There is no deep meaning at all. He is just a jumping clown. After he got the high position, he became evil and rampant!”
At this time, Xu You suddenly said
“My lord, perhaps Gu Changan is planning to usurp the throne!”
“”He created this auspicious sign, maybe he wants to force Your Majesty to abdicate!”
Yuan Shao was shocked.
He lowered his head and thought for a while:”It is really possible. Gu Chang’an is just an ordinary man. Now he has won 1.3 times in a row. It is possible that he has something wrong with his mind!”
After hearing this, Ju Su’s eyes lit up.
He said:”In this way, Gu Chang’an will definitely become the target of public criticism!”
“Maybe it will be another joint attack by the 18 princes!”
Yuan Shao was very afraid of Gu Chang’an.
His Jizhou was half surrounded by Gu Chang’an.
In addition, Gu Chang’an was now attacking Yanzhou.
It can be said that Yuan Shao was very afraid of Gu Chang’an.���I can’t sleep or eat well.
Now Gu Changan has made such a stupid move.
Maybe the opportunity to break this situation is right in front of me……. ps:▄█ˉ█●Please, it’s on the shelves, please subscribe, flowers, evaluation votes, rewards, comments!.
