It was Ma Jun, who was originally obsessed with the research of gunpowder, but was driven by Guo Jia to put the duck on the shelf, and he simply shifted the focus of scientific research to the cultivation of hybrid rice.

With the return of Nanhua Laoxian with potatoes, Guo Jia no longer pays attention to this project.

However, this does not mean that rice is not important, but Guo Jia is not sure whether Ma Jun can succeed. If you can, the more such artifacts you have, the better.

"Are you really done?" Guo Jia looked at Ma Jun, who was holding the rice, and confirmed in a condensed voice again.

Ma Jun breathed heavily, and he could see that he had come all the way, and it was unknown how far he had come.

After a long time, he finally took a breath back and said slowly: "Although it has not yet reached the output that Taiwei said, it has been greatly improved compared to before. ”

"As long as I am given a few more years, I will definitely be able to meet the standards that the captain said."

Guo Jia was stunned, and then looked at Ma Jun with the eyes of a monster. Nearly 2,000 years later, can it be done?

"If you don't believe me, why don't you follow me and take a look." Ma Jun thought he didn't believe it, so he added another sentence, and then handed over the rice in his hand.

Guo Jia took the rice, examined it carefully, and then said solemnly: "I believe it!" ”

"It's ......"

Liu Bei, Xun Yu and others rushed over when they heard the news, and everyone looked at the rice in Guo Jia's hand thoughtfully.

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "God bless the big man, today is a double happiness." ”

Liu Bei was puzzled.

Guo Jia immediately handed over the rice in his hand: "Prime Minister, please take a look." ”

Liu Bei took it, lowered his head and examined it carefully, and then said in surprise: "It's indeed different from the rice you see on weekdays, could it be that you also got it from overseas?" ”

He knows Guo Jia's temperament very well, this person has always been free and easy, if it wasn't for something extremely important, he would definitely not be so solemn.

Guo Jia smiled and turned his head to look at Ma Jun: "This is your credit, or you can say it." ”

"No, no, no, if it weren't for the Tai Lieutenant mentioning it, the subordinate would never have thought that it could be like this."

"I'm just casually saying that you're the one who really brought this idea to life."

"The lower officials never dare to take credit."

Everyone looked at the two people who gave credit to each other, and they were speechless.

"You two have done a great job, tell me, what is the difference between this rice?" In the end, it was Liu Bei who interrupted the two of them.

Guo Jia looked at Ma Jun again.

This time, he did not refuse, but explained to Liu Bei about the practice of hybrid rice and the changes in yield.

When everyone heard the back, their eyes lit up, and the eyes that looked at the two of them were a little more unusual.

In Liu Bei's words, both of them are a great achievement.

Guo Jia has the merit of mentioning points, and Ma Jun is the implementer of the plan, which is naturally a great achievement.

Just like marching to war, you need to have a long-term strategy and good tactics, and the two complement each other and are indispensable.

Liu Bei took a deep breath and confirmed again: "Is this serious? ”

If what Guo Jia said is true, today is indeed a double happiness. The staggering yield of potatoes and the hybrid rice are two artifacts comparable to 100,000 male soldiers.

But with his understanding of Guo Jia, although this person is usually casual, he is never sloppy in business.

"It's true, if the prime minister doesn't believe it, the lower official will take you to see it." Ma Jun thought that he was questioned again, so he had to explain.

Liu Bei Zhengse said: "I believe you." ”

To be exact, he trusts Guo Jia.

So everyone went to Ma Jun's experimental farmland, and when they saw the scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help but be amazed.

Liu Bei was so surprised that he couldn't speak, he was a human being in two lives, and he had seen a bumper harvest, but he had never been able to compare with the rice field in front of him.

After a brief shock, Xun Yu quietly moved to Guo Jia's side and said in a low voice: "How do you know that you can increase the yield of rice through hybridization." ”

Obviously, he still remembers Ma Jun's words, and the idea came from Guo Jia. But what they learned in the academy was the art of war, tactics, people's livelihood and politics.

Strictly speaking, the cultivation of rice in this era is a strange and obscene skill, and few scholars will delve into it, let alone Guo Jia, who only likes to read military books.

"Some people are born to know, and they are geniuses." Guo Jia looked proud, and at the same time he was about to force Ga Man, but he explained the matter.

Xun Yu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Fengxiao, you always say that I am an all-rounder, but compared with you, I am really far behind." ”

Guo Jiaxin said: That's because I have the advantage of foresight.

said on his lips: "Wen Ruo said, I just put forward an idea, and it is Ma Jun, a great scientist, who really completed this plan."

"What is a scientist?"

"It's an official who specializes in all kinds of technologies."

"Like Ma Jun?"

"Exactly."

Guo Jia said seriously: "Don't underestimate their gang, if they can always make Dahan's technology ahead of the world, we can firmly sit on the throne of the world's first." ”

Xun Yu was puzzled: "Feng Xiao seems to have always believed that there are still other countries overseas?" ”

"Didn't the old fairy already prove everything when he brought the potatoes back?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically.

"That's why you've been vigorously developing the Sailor Division, just to ...... with these overseas countries Communication? ”

Xun Yu had long heard that Guo Jia was keen on the construction of the naval army, and at first everyone thought that he was preparing for the future attack on Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

But when they learned that the ships had been adapted to the needs of the sea, their minds changed.

Guo Jia laughed dumbly, how could Xun Yu not understand what he meant, the word "exchange" is really subtle. Sure enough, the scholars are upright and upright.

Xun Yu, a humble gentleman, originally also had the ideal of expanding his territory.

So he said: "We are fighting for more and more land for future generations." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Jian Yong on the side suddenly felt a chill behind him, as if the air had dropped in an instant and recovered after a while.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Jian Yong asked curiously.

He understood what both of them were saying, but it was a little puzzling when they were connected.

Overseas country?

Communication?

Could it be like Emperor Wu who opened up the Western Regions?

Guo Jia quipped: "Brother Xianhe, as the first diplomat of the Han Dynasty, are you willing to send more envoys to more countries?" ”

The title of Jian Yong, the "first diplomat", came from Guo Jia's mouth, and everyone didn't know what it meant at first, but later they gradually understood and recognized this title.

This man's eloquence and ability to adapt to situations on the fly are worthy of this name.

"Brother Xianhe has been in the limelight enough, give it a chance in the next place."

But it was Sun Qian, who was behind Jian Yong, who spoke, feeling a little depressed in his heart.

Just because he was one step late in voting for Liu Bei, he has always been willing to be the second oldest diplomat. Because everyone, including Liu Bei, recognized Jian Yong's ability.

That's the first-come, first-served difference.

"Gongyou don't have to worry, you will have your own place in the future."
