After autumn, the cold wind becomes stronger and stronger.

At this moment, the most attractive thing in Chang'an, and the thing that moves faster than the cold wind, is the continuous military situation.

The military situation coming from Longyou, and the sudden rebellion in Hanzhong!

There was an uproar.

Amidst the uproar, there is another strange phenomenon...

The emerging team of Fei Qian, at least in Guanzhong, has been gradually taking shape. Those out-of-time guys have been eliminated in the forging process again and again. The ones left behind are not fools. How could they publish so easily?

Any comments?

Although the Hanzhong Rebellion came suddenly, and the causes and consequences are a bit confusing, no one can deny that, at least so far, Fei Qian has not revealed any big flaws. To be honest, the rebellion is something that the Han Dynasty

Things have happened a lot during the three to four hundred years of the dynasty. There are always some people who think they are awesome. There are often people who claim to be kings, emperors, sons, marshals, etc. They have to hold on to become successful...

Those who cannot become a climate are all scum.

At the feet of successful people are always the corpses of losers.

When there is no certainty that these challengers will succeed, onlookers generally place few bets.

As a result, a very interesting phenomenon occurred in Guanzhong. There was an uproar among the people, and people in the streets could not help but whisper to each other. However, in the entire officialdom of Chang'an, a strange atmosphere was maintained.

Silence, no one expressed their opinion.

Humans are basically social animals. Living in a large environment, everyone will inevitably be influenced or even restrained by others, and Fei Qian is naturally no exception.

In later generations, Fei Qian would go to bed as late as he could and get up as late as he could. At that time, Fei Qian didn't have many people under his command. Even if he was on holiday, he would sleep until noon before getting up.

No one cares or cares about it at all.

But things are different now.

The Cavalry General's office routinely starts working at 00:00, and even if Fei Qian is a little later, it cannot go beyond 00:00. As for the nine-to-five working system, sorry, there is no such thing. Although Fei Qian is the chief officer, from a certain

In a sense, no one dares to criticize him for being lazy, but Fei Qian knows that if he is lazy, the people below can be lazy for three points, and then continue to be lazy on the next level, and then there will be no more...

Of course, there were no mobile phones to scroll through in the Han Dynasty, which was also a guarantee to go to bed early and get up early. Otherwise, you would hold your phone and say you would go to bed after watching this short video. But after watching it, how many people couldn't help but scroll again to watch the next one?

Then an hour and a night passed like this.

When it was almost dawn again, Fei Qian got up. After washing, he brought out the breakfast breasts.

"Hey, it's Diaohu..." Fei Qian took a look, smiled, and said.

Diaohu, today's staple food, is also called wild rice.

Huang Yueying said with a smile: "It's just a new arrival in the past few days, so it's just a taste..."

Wild rice, this is also a seasonal delicacy.

In later generations, Fei Qian rarely saw this thing, but after the Han Dynasty, he discovered that wild rice was actually a very common food. Wild rice has been around since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, and was eaten in the Tang Dynasty, and after the Song Dynasty.

It gradually became less and less...

What is used to accompany wild rice is naturally fish, grilled fish.

This is because it is stated in "The Rites of Zhou·Tianguan": "For the appropriate meals, cattle are suitable for rice, sheep are suitable for millet, hogs are suitable for millet, dogs are suitable for beams, geese are suitable for wheat, and fish are suitable for wild rice."

Therefore, in the Zhou Dynasty, there was already a detailed understanding of what dishes should be paired with what rice. However, when later generations heard about the so-called red with red and white with white, they felt as if they knew some secret, and they couldn't wait to emphasize one or two when meeting others.

, in fact, it is not necessary.

When it comes to food, if China claims to be second, no one in China would dare to say that they are first...

Well, except for sticks, that thing dares to be ranked first in everything.

On the side of the grilled fish, there is a plate of pickled cabbage.

Plus a bowl of meat soup.

Morning preserved fruits are relatively simple, while late preserved fruits are richer.

Basically speaking, for people of Fei Qian's level, they can still have fish and meat every day, and they can eat until they are full. And for ordinary Han gentry children, what kind of chestnuts are they?

Rice or rice with beans, then pickles, and miso soup, and it's almost done.

As for the ordinary working people, there is no serious food. They usually have wild vegetable porridge and black multi-grain pancakes, which are rough and anti-hungry.

Fei Qian was eating wild rice, and suddenly his heart moved slightly.

Huang Yueying was also eating with her. When she saw Fei Qian paused, she was stunned for a moment, "Husband...could it be that this Diaohu...is not cooked enough?"

Diaohu, also known as wild rice, is different from ordinary rice. Because wild rice is harder than ordinary rice, it is naturally different from ordinary rice when cooking. Not only does it need to be soaked in advance, but also

Still needs longer cooking time…

In later generations, wild rice was rarely seen in daily diets. Even if you don't look for it in larger supermarkets, you may not even find it.

So is it because of this difficulty in cooking that wild rice was less common in later generations?

Fei Qian smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No, I just thought of something..."

This difficulty in cooking is not the reason for the scarcity of wild rice. Fei Qian knows that no matter how much effort is put into it, it cannot stop the Chinese people from pursuing delicious food.

So is it because wild rice is not delicious that it has been abandoned by future generations? Not really.

Wild rice has high nutritional value and is edible. Although wild rice is rarely eaten as food in later generations, the history of eating wild rice can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, and it was used as one of the six cereals eaten by emperors.

Wild rice has high nutritional value. It is not only rich in protein, essential amino acids and fatty acids, vitamins and various trace elements, but also has 18 kinds of essential amino acids required by the human body.

The protein content of wild rice is twice that of rice, and its taste is more fragrant than ordinary rice, with the aroma of grass.

At least Feiqian tastes better now than any other bean, rice or wheat rice. But why did wild rice gradually not appear on the dining tables of ordinary people in China in later generations?

After finishing the meal, Fei Qian chatted a few words with Huang Yueying, assigned Fei Zhen's homework, then went out of the backyard, found the steward, and asked some things about wild rice, and finally understood the wild rice.

The reason why rice was not common in later generations.

When the wild rice is ripe, it will fall off one by one...

At the same time, wild rice is prone to diseases. Once infected, wild rice will not grow...

However, those infected with the disease can also eat it, but instead of eating the grown wild rice, they eat the roots of the wild rice, which is the wild rice that Feiqian eats in the summer...

That is to say, the wild rice plants that grow wild rice cannot produce wild rice, and the wild rice that bears wild rice cannot grow wild rice.

pick one of two.

In this way, Fei Qian understood.

In order to harvest more wild rice, people of later generations continued to select and cultivate those wild rice that were easily infected by pathogenic bacteria and grew into wild rice. However, the originally disease-free wild rice was gradually eliminated.

This is somewhat interesting...

After letting the steward go, Fei Qian pinched the beard on his chin and thought for a while.

What does this selection process and the evolution of wild rice illustrate?

For an agricultural society, or even most human societies, stability is the first priority.

Stable food sources, stable resources and minerals, stable social structure, and stable promotion channels. Once the stability is broken, the entire society will inevitably be violently shaken.

It's like the present moment.

Fei Qian walked slowly towards the meeting hall while thinking.

Stability under limited conditions is a very important thing.

Just like the old city system of Chang'an, it is undoubtedly too narrow for the huge bureaucratic system designed by Fei Qian. After all, in the original city of Chang'an, several palaces accounted for nearly two-thirds, and General Hussars

It is inevitable that the government will be somewhat difficult to expand.

So is it better to build some terraces and build some two-story or three-story houses to solve this problem, or is it more stable to open up a piece of land in the north of the city as an office space?

Obviously, the multi-story building system was the choice of later generations, and today, it is more convenient for the Han Dynasty to open up another piece of land for dedicated offices.

Of course, relocating the people from Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng to other places is also a way to reduce the excessive concentration of officials in Chang'an City. However, after they are separated in this way, the affairs of the three assistants of Chang'an will be settled by Fei Qian.

One layer, sometimes some problems will inevitably occur.

Therefore, corresponding things should be done under different historical conditions. In the current officialdom, this "stability under limited conditions" is also the primary focus and difficulty faced by Fiji's current internal affairs.

For most time travellers, it seems that they can just find some famous figures in history and then become a shopkeeper, but in the current reality of Feiqian, this is not the case.

Xun Chen, Xun You, Pang Tong, Zhuge, Sima and others have no problem if they are placed in any county. It is even said that these people have no problem even if they serve as feudal officials. But the problem is that people's livelihood and government affairs are not like in the game.

, only one person can be placed in an area to make it work...

Feiqian needs a large number of officials to sink to places. Just like the choice of later generations, they would rather produce a fixed quantity of wild rice that can be controlled, rather than obtain one that is of varying quality, unstable, and has no guaranteed quantity.

Wild rice.

If you look at the Sima family, from being a talented person in the first place to being a tauren in the end, you will know how poor the talent quality control mechanism was in the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty in history.

The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System is bullshit.

Although the officials of the Han Dynasty before the Ninth Rank had their own ceilings, they also had ways to change their class. However, after the Ninth Rank, it was over. The class was so solid that it could not be moved.

There are certain restrictions on the official career of common people and poor families. Under normal circumstances, it is not their turn to be promoted. However, the ceiling at this level can be broken through the recruitment of local supervisors and even central officials.

If we follow the standards of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System and call those who come from aristocratic families and study the classics diligently as Qingliu, which is considered noble, and those who are from common people who are forced to rely only on the law and practice to make a fortune, are called Zhuoliu, which is considered lowly, then Nobility will always be considered noble.
To be continued...
