PS: The chapter number of the previous chapter is wrong, it should be (Chapter 589)

Shi Xie listened to Liu Yi finish talking about these things with an extremely surprised and amazed mood, and because he listened to what Liu Yi told him, he was completely convinced by Liu Yi in his heart.

The reason why Shi Xie had decided to return to the New Han Dynasty before the New Han Army officially threatened him was because he had a far-sighted political vision. He saw that the current Han Dynasty, the New Han Dynasty was too powerful, and its general trend of unifying the Han Dynasty was also unstoppable.

He knew that his days in a peaceful corner of Lingnan were about to pass, and he also knew that although the Lingnan region was also rich in land and resources, the population was too insufficient and sparsely populated compared to the middle and northern parts of China. In addition, the Lingnan region, including the Guangxi region, is a number of lofty mountains, and the people living and active in most of the areas are some minority ethnic groups, and he Shixie could not call on those minority ethnic groups scattered in the mountains and difficult to contact to concentrate to resist the invasion of the New Han army. Relying on his current strength alone, it is indeed impossible to compare with the power of China Middle Earth.

In addition, Shi Xie also saw early that no matter which force in China Middle Earth became a climate, it would eventually march into Lingnan and be unified sooner or later. His Lingnan can only become an inseparable part of the Han Dynasty in the end. With such an understanding, he would make up his mind early on, and when he saw that the New Han Dynasty was already in the general trend, he immediately showed favor to Liu Yi and took the initiative to seek an opportunity to peacefully submit to the New Han Dynasty.

However, as a prince, he will have some thoughts in his heart. Like what. He is very satisfied with the Jiaozhou he governs, and he is very satisfied in his heart. Take pride in this, because it can make one side peaceful. There can be better development, so that the people under his rule can live and work in peace and contentment. It really made him proud that he thought he had done a good enough job.

He sincerely surrendered to the New Han Dynasty, but in his heart, he may not be really convinced by Liu Yi.

But after listening to Liu Yi's plan, how to do a good job in agricultural production, how to cultivate deeply, and how to greatly increase grain production, he was deeply admired. Because what Liu Yi said has been carried out in the sphere of influence of the New Han Dynasty, and has also achieved quite good results, especially the method of producing some fertilizers to make crops better. He was amazed, because he never thought that even farming would have so much knowledge.

In this way, not to mention the more new technologies that the New Han Dynasty now possessed.

But after listening to Liu Yi tell him how to experiment with the production of rubber, he was a little puzzled and full of questions.

He waited for Leo to finish. When he asked him if there was anything he hadn't heard clearly, and if there were any questions, Shi Xie asked curiously, "That, lord." You ask the old man to use some resin seeping from the trees, and through the method you mentioned, you can make rubber. This one. My lord, can you tell me what we want this rubber for? ”

Liu Yi knew that Shi Xie would definitely have this question. The rhetoric has been prepared for a long time. Slightly groaned. He said to him: "Rubber is the resin of plants. Originally, Liu led the army to Nanyang this time to find a plant called rubber tree, and the resin latex produced by this plant is the last raw material for the production of rubber. With the raw materials, and then according to the method and steps I just told you, you can produce rubber, generally speaking, rubber, in fact, is a chemical product. Chemistry, you may not understand this, and I can't tell you clearly for a while, but now the Xinmin Academy of the New Han Dynasty has opened a chemistry subject, if Lord Shixie wants to understand, or you can take three or a few months to go to Luoyang to see, you will definitely be satisfied, and you can see the charm of chemistry. ”

"Oh? Chemical products? Chemistry? "Shi Xie really looked very interested.

"That's right, by the way, what I just told you, some of the kind of fertilizer that can make crops grow better and faster, is actually a chemical product." Liu Yi nodded to him and said, "Then when it comes to what uses rubber will have, it will be a big use." ”

"Rubber, in the future, will definitely become our Han people, or all human beings are inseparable from the important living items, it is also a very important industrial product, if there is no rubber, there will be no development, not to mention that our Han can really enter the era of science."

"The Age of Science?" Another new word that made Shixie difficult to understand.

"The age of science is the age when all of us humans can explain the nature of the world in words. Of course, first of all, you have to understand what science is, and science is learning that refers to the knowledge that has been systematized and formulated by the discovery, accumulation, and application of universal truths or universal theorems. Science encompasses fields such as nature, society, and thinking, such as physics, biology, and sociology. Liu Yi said that he didn't say anything more, waved his hand and said: "You may not be able to understand these things at once, but you can slowly recognize them in the future." ”

"Shi is really lonely and unheard, all the time, Shi is still complacent, thinking that he has learned five cars and is only eight high, in this world, there is no knowledge that is not known. Now after listening to the lord's words, Shi really felt deeply ashamed. Shi Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Hehe, actually, scientific things, I don't know how advanced I think, but when I understand it, then there is nothing. It's like a child who is just learning to speak, and when he learns it, he can speak casually, and it won't seem to have the slightest difficulty. “

"Although he said that, it was indeed Shi's shallow knowledge, like a frog at the bottom of a well, who didn't know the size of the world."

"Well, if you are modest, you don't need to say more. Let me tell you, if you can improve rubber, then you have made an immortal achievement, and in the future, you will become a famous scientist through the ages, and the founder of civilization for our Han people and even the entire human race. “

"Eh, lord, don't wait for the old man, don't I do what the lord wants? The old man can only be regarded as an executor at most. Shi Xie didn't dare to bow down.

"Anyway, you have to know that rubber is very important. In the future, it will be closely related to our life and development. Due to the strong plasticity of rubber. It can be hard or soft, elastic and hard. Impermeable to water, even can isolate the air, etc., there are too many uses" Liu Yi gave him an example: "For example, the shoes we wear, if there is rubber, we can use rubber to make a large number of rubber shoes, rubber shoes are much stronger and lighter than the straw shoes we wear now, cloth shoes, clog shoes, etc., and can be non-slip and so on." Let's say, for example, the carriage we usually sit in. They are all wooden wheels, bumpy and easy to break, slow and bulky. But if there is rubber, a layer of rubber tires is wrapped on the wooden wheels of the carriage, then when the carriage runs, the feeling of bumps will be greatly reduced, and the wooden wheels will not be damaged. It is also light, and the same carriage drawn by a horse, with rubber tires, is much faster than a pure wooden wheel. At least twice as fast. “

"Really?" Shi Xie heard what Liu Yi said so much, and he couldn't help but look forward to the rubber a little.

"What's this? If the time comes, you can find high-quality rubber. And our scientists are able to solve some of the technical problems of how to use rubber, then. When the time comes, you can use pneumatic rubber tires, which can completely replace wooden wheels. When the time comes. All we use are iron wheels. “

Shi Xie was a little dumbfounded when he heard of it.

"Don't be surprised." Liu Yi waved his hand and said: "I believe that what I say to you now will definitely come true in the future." “

"That subordinate will definitely do his best to pay, and he will never live up to the trust of the lord." Shi Xie looked cautious and bowed to Liu Yi.

"Just do your best, in fact, it won't be long before we have rubber trees, and with that, we will be able to produce better quality rubber. It's just that every development of science and technology must have a process, and there must be time and experience accumulation, now, Lord Shixie, you can choose some smart and studious people to help you, and together you will refine the rubber for me, and then slowly study the use of rubber. “

"Yes! The old man remembers the words of the lord! “

……

After explaining to Shixie and giving him the task, Liu Yi did not stay in Jiaozhou for long. Because I believe that it will not be too long, the new Han army under Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in Jiaozhou and Jiangdong will meet each other and officially pacify the south.

Liu Yi returned to Jiangdong directly by sea.

This trip to the South Seas took several months, and when I went, it was the middle of summer, and now I am returning, and it is already winter.

To say, in the summer and autumn, there were several typhoons in the South China Sea, but at that time, the Xinhan Army was already in the Nanyang region and did not have to bear the impact of typhoons on the sea.

In winter, the number of storms at sea will gradually decrease, and there will generally not be too strong typhoons.

In this way, Liu Yi also came to some experience, for the time being, when he did not have to sail directly from the deep sea, sailing along the coast would be relatively safer. Even if you encounter a storm in the sea, you can get ashore in time to avoid a typhoon. There is also the problem of seasonal climate, generally speaking, in spring and winter, although the temperature is not very good, but relatively speaking, it seems to be safer.

To this end, Liu Yi also temporarily mapped out a route for the naval army of the New Han Army, from Qu'a to the South China Sea of Jiaozhou, to the Qiongzhou Strait, to Vietnam, to Hunter City, and to Malaysia.

This route may take a little longer, but it is relatively safe and generally does not cause any major accidents. In addition, supplies can be obtained along the way to ensure the logistics supply of the New Han army on a long voyage.

Liu Yi originally wanted to go to Fuchun first to pick up the Wu sisters and return to Qu'a City together, but the daughters who were in Fuchun with the Wu sisters actually returned to Qu'a City early.

In Qu'a, Liu Yi received political and military information from the Jiangdong region. In addition, it also provides intelligence on the battlefields of Yuzhou and Hanzhong. Naturally, there is also information about Cao Cao's current situation in the Central Plains.

And Lu Bu, who led the army to the east to conquer the Japanese kingdom one step earlier, also had a letter and reported back. What made Liu Yi even happier was that Himiko, Yueyu and other women from the Wa Kingdom were all sent to Qu'a by Lu Bu and Chen Gong. More than ten days earlier, he was sent back to Qu'a.

The Wu sisters and the other daughters returned to Qu'a City from Fuchun in order to meet these Japanese women of Liu Yi and entertain them.

In Qu'a, Liu Yi's kamikaze ocean-going war ship had just docked at the big port dock outside Qu'a, and Mrs. Wu and other women, as well as Himiko, Yueyu and other women, were already waiting at the wharf.

"Husband-sama......"

"Husband-sama......"

With a bit of a strange rhyme of the Ukuni pronunciation of the coquettish voice, Himiko and George Sakurahime ran in front, followed by several women.

Beautiful and noble, in terms of beauty, it can almost be compared with Minchan, Zhen Luo, Zhen Mi, and Xiao Qiao, she pear blossoms with rain, running with a long skirt, the graceful tall figure is particularly eye-catching, and it also makes people feel pity, especially her expression is sad and expectant, which makes Liu Yi feel drunk.

With a flash of figure, Liu Yi leaned over and hugged Himiko.

"My queen, you're finally here, but you want to die as a husband." Liu Yi hugged her tightly and said emotionally.

"Woo...... Hello wolf heart, you liar! When we were separated, you said that you would go to Yamatai to pick us up in Dahan within three years, but ...... Woohoo......"

"Your Excellency...... Sakurahime misses you too, but she hates you too......"

Georgia Sakurahime, who is equivalent to a humble personal guard maid, is also Liu Yi's woman, she is not reserved anymore, and hugs Liu Yi tightly from behind Liu Yi, and she is extremely resentful.

"Humph! Things without conscience, do you know or not, the queen is eager to wear it, and they are waiting for you to pick her up to Dahan every day, but three years have passed, and I haven't seen you without a conscience. Do you know that they think something has happened to you, or that they don't love them anymore, and they are almost going to seek death. If it weren't for General Lu Bu and Mr. Chen Gong to bring your letter, they would really not want to live. Yue Yu was beside him, and snorted coldly.

She also ran over with Himiko, but she maintained her cold style as a "moon god", tried her best to suppress her emotions, and looked like she didn't care about Liu Yi.

Xu Min, who could also restrain her emotional outbursts, stood beside Yue Yu and gave Liu Yi a roll of eyes full of countless meanings.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's wrong for my husband, this time, it's a loss for my husband. However, Dahan is also an eventful time now, and my husband really can't spare time to pick you up from the Evil Horse Terrace of the Wa Kingdom. But I, Liu Yi, swear to God, I miss you every day! Liu Yi apologized to the women again and again.

"Husband, don't talk about this, to be able to meet your husband again, I already feel very satisfied in my heart." Himiko is worthy of being the queen of the Japanese kingdom, and he bowed his head generously in Liu Yi's chest. (To be continued......)
