Chapter 411: The Surprise of the Duke of Zhenguo and the Advantages of Hybridization (7.6k, please subscribe)

"My Lord, this is so precious."

Chu Wujiang looked at the treasure that was brought out and immediately refused.

“It’s just to round it up.”

"The Champion Marquis has four general orders in total, plus the fourteen I have, it makes a perfect total."

The Duke of Zhenguo stroked his beard and said with a smile.

God damn it.

Chu Wujiang originally earned a general's order from Di Guangzhu, and later Fang Wanjun gave him two, and Fang Xiaoran gave him another, for a total of four.

This time, the Duke of Zhenguo directly added fourteen general orders so that Chu Wujiang could make it a total.

The fourteen general orders combined are no less than a low-grade divine weapon.

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said:

"The Champion Marquis of the previous dynasty not only had unparalleled martial arts skills, but also inherited the military tradition and forged eighteen general orders, hoping to rival the divine weapons."

"In the past, the Heroic Battalion was able to roam the desert, and this general's order was the most important, and the Heroic Flag followed closely behind."

"A treasure goes with a hero."

Chu Wujiang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Because one of the 18 general orders was damaged and his military luck was absorbed by it, making it scrapped.

Even if the remaining 17 pieces were gathered together, they could not be condensed into a lower-grade magic weapon.

What's more, you won't be rewarded if you don't do anything.

These fourteen general orders are just small gifts prepared by the Duke of Zhenguo.

In the golden basin brought by the maid, in addition to the fourteen general orders, there were also two jade slips, which contained a powerful aura.

If Chu Wujiang guessed correctly, one of them was most likely the aura of "Shenxiao Jiumie".

Chu Wujiang immediately declined and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Duke. Unfortunately, I once damaged a general's order, so it is difficult to make this magic weapon."

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said:

"it does not matter."

"I can add another general's order."

"Come here, bring out another general's order."

ha?
The Duke of Zhenguo smiled meaningfully and said:

"The Champion Marquis was able to forge the General's Order because he inherited the military tradition and designed a plan for making the General's Order."

"We have the manufacturing method, and our skilled craftsmen are not fools."

"It's just that forging this treasure requires the consumption of martial luck, so the number produced is limited."

"I specifically ordered people to collect these original copies because if they are combined, they can give the army the fortune of [Extraordinary Courage] in a short period of time."

"Now there's one piece missing, the effect will be a little worse, but it doesn't matter."

"Anyway, the general is old and can no longer use his extraordinary martial arts luck."

Sima Rui's extraordinary bravery and luck allowed him to kill many bandits of the same level and fight against powerful soul masters.

If there are an army of 100,000, and everyone possesses blue martial luck, the military force will be as powerful as a tsunami, and even the Yuanshen Zhenren will change color.

The military luck is strengthened and the results are immediate.

The function of the general's order is to temporarily enhance the soldiers' fortunes, such as [Strong as an ox], [Fury like a bull], etc.

If it is an army of 100,000, and everyone has the [Divine Bravery] trait, even the powerful ones with destiny will have to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but ask:
"Sir Duke, since you have such a secret treasure, why don't you give it to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin?"

The Duke of Zhenguo laughed and said:

"Of course, Your Highness, the King of Qin, has it. Otherwise, how dare the Tianyou Army call itself the best army in the world?"

"This set of general orders was captured by His Majesty, praising the Marquis of Guanjun and presenting it to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin."

"Later, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin made a set for himself, and divided these up to reward his subordinates and circulate them everywhere."

"If the Champion Marquis dislikes the ageing of these General Orders, I have a jade slip with the method of making the General Orders."

It's so generous.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but be moved.

He defeated an army of 5 mermaids, and the reward from the court was very generous, a total of top-quality weapons, which he had not yet received from the royal treasury.

Now the Duke of Zhenguo is going to give away 15 precious weapons, which is simply outrageous.

But for building an army, it is of great value.

Chu Wujiang was about to say that he would not accept the reward without merit, but the Duke of Zhenguo continued to add:

"Marquis Champion, please listen to what I have to say first."

"In addition to the manufacturing method of the general's order, I'm afraid that the champion marquis can also tell the origin of this last jade slip."

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but nodded and said:
"Shenxiao Jiumie!"

The Duke of Zhenguo showed a look of understanding:

"Yes, it is the remaining sword intent of Shenxiao Jiumie."

"In the past, His Royal Highness the King of Qin took advantage of the change of the Wolf Lord in the Evil God's Court and launched a full-scale attack. The Evil God's Court hastily retreated and attacked to the foot of the Wolf Mountain, where they discovered the sword intent left by the Champion Marquis."

"Even after hundreds of years, the sword intent is still clearly visible."

"His Royal Highness Prince Qin intercepted a portion of the sword's will and made it into jade talismans for the martial arts geniuses to comprehend."

"But most of the geniuses, even some peerless geniuses, swordsmanship geniuses were injured by the sword intent during their comprehension."

"Later, these jade talismans were preserved, and only those who were destined to have them could obtain them."

The Duke of Zhenguo paused here for a moment, allowing Chu Wujiang to digest the origin of the jade slip first.

[As expected, this "Nine Destructions of the Divine Sky" is not a martial art that ordinary people can comprehend.]

[Even if you are a peerless genius, without orange martial luck, it is difficult to comprehend the true meaning of swordsmanship. ]

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Didn't His Royal Highness the King of Qin practice the Divine Sky Nine Extinctions?"

"If he understands this sword technique, wouldn't it be better if he could pass it on to others?"

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled faintly and said:

"This 'Nine Destructions of the Divine Sky' has very strong side effects. His Royal Highness Prince Qin said that this sword technique is not suitable for him, so he did not practice it."

"In my opinion, there are no more than five people in this world who can practice this set of swordsmanship."

"What's more, this is just a remnant of the sword's power, it is not a precious thing."

"If Champion Hou is worried about the risk, he can destroy it himself."

The Duke of Zhenguo has always been very generous when giving gifts.

Fifteen precious weapons, the method of making the General's Order, and the remaining sword intent of "The Nine Destructions of the Divine Sky".

Such a gift is indeed generous.

Chu Wujiang took a deep breath and shook his head:

"My Lord, I was very satisfied the last time I took away the Champion Marquis Seal."

"This is useless and unappreciated..."

The Duke of Zhenguo waved his hand and laughed loudly:

"Champion Marquis, this is what makes you unhappy."

"You don't look like a warrior. Sometimes you are more literary than a scholar. You like literary things."

"I admire you and know you are capable, so I want to help you."

"The Chu Family Army has taken shape. To become a true iron army, these things are indispensable."

"If you want, take it."

"No, it won't affect the relationship between the two families."

The Duke of Zhenguo will be very tolerant of someone he admires.

Even if the two people have different political stances.

Chu Wujiang took a deep breath, made a decision and said:

"My Lord, I accept this gift."

"I'll give you something better in return, baby."

Reciprocity.

This is not a reward from the court, but a personal favor.

The Duke of Zhenguo promoted the magical rice, which benefited warriors all over the world, and the lower classes of the human race suffered terribly.

The two sides have different political positions, but they are highly united in fighting against the evil god's court.

One should not be too weak. He would naturally accept the gift from the Duke of Zhenguo and take his original plan a step further.

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled:
"now it's right."

"The head of Yuanji Academy once said that if civil officials do not love money and military officials do not fear death, the world will be well governed."

"So military officers are greedy for money. They want the best things for them to enjoy so that the soldiers can fight for their lives."

I don't think that's what the dean meant.

Chu Wujiang complained in his heart, and the Duke of Zhenguo continued to explain:

"More than 590 years ago, my father followed Your Majesty to conquer Longdu. The six dukes moved Longdu completely away. Even the bricks used to build the mansion were taken from the walls of Longdu."

"How can we make soldiers serve without these things?"

"The rewards were not enough, so the gravekeepers were asked to dig up a lot of things. That's how the general's order came out."

When the dynasty collapsed, those families that did not surrender to Emperor Hao in time were severely punished.

Originally the Ji family lived in Longzhou, but they had no choice but to move to Shengzhou and start over.

Chu Wujiang had no choice but to agree:

"Your Excellency the Duke is right."

The Duke of Zhenguo was very satisfied when he saw Chu Wujiang agreeing with him, and he immediately shouted:
"Come here, serve the wine."

"Take out my Purple Palace Immortal Wine."

"I want to have a drink with the Champion Marquis."

Following the order from the Duke of Zhenguo, the maid brought the wine and filled the two people's glasses. As soon as Chu Wujiang smelled the aroma of the wine, he felt intoxicated.

"My Lord, this wine has a strong aftertaste."

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said:

"The Champion Marquis really knows what he is talking about. This Purple Mansion Immortal Wine is also known as the Divine Drunk."

"It's different from the Immortal Powder."

"He can make the soul intoxicated, causing martial arts masters to truly fall asleep, and even Yuanshen Zhenren will be drunk."

"Come on, have a drink!"

Chu Wujiang was not afraid of the Duke of Zhenguo's tricks, so he simply raised his glass and drank it all.

call!
After drinking this divine wine, Chu Wujiang's cheeks turned slightly red. It was indeed a fine wine that could intoxicate the soul.

After the Duke of Zhenguo swallowed the wine, he shouted with satisfaction.

"This Purple Mansion Immortal Wine can only be brewed with Immortal Rice. I only have one bottle a year. It's a pity that I can't drink it freely. What a pity."

Chu Wujiang didn't expect that this wine was so precious, but when he heard about the immortal rice, he couldn't help but ask:
"My Lord, where does this immortal rice come from?"

Although the immortal wine was intoxicating and Chu Wujiang felt waves of heat in his body, he still maintained a clear mind and inquired about the disagreement between the two parties.

The Duke of Zhenguo sighed and said:

"Don't worry, Marquis Guanjun. This immortal rice is much harder to grow than spiritual rice. It can only be grown on the soil of the Tianyuan Mountain. It can be harvested once a year."

"The court will distribute it according to the rank of duke and prince."

"Starting next year, champions will also be able to get some."

Tianyuan Mountain is the land of the country and the place where dragon veins converge.

Only the soil of the land and soil can grow the immortal rice, and the purple mansion immortal wine made from it is the best wine in the world.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but ask:
"how many?"

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said:

"One hundred pounds."

This is too little.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but scratch his head. If there was a way to make everyone eat immortal rice, wouldn't everyone become immortal?
After drinking the immortal wine, Chu Wujiang felt that just that one sip was no less than an Earthly Spirit Pill.

Such terrifying medicinal power can only be grown in the soil formed by the Tianyuan Mountain, where hundreds of dragon veins converge.

Chu Wujiang asked quickly:
“Is there any way to increase production?”

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and nodded:
"Have."

"If you use spirit rice to cultivate the soil and bury it in the ground, you can grow fairy rice the next year."

“But the cost of burying them every year is just too high.”

"If you bury 30,000 kilograms of spiritual rice in the ground, you can grow 10 kilograms of immortal rice."

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but ask:
"What about this wine we drink?"

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said:
"It takes three hundred kilograms of immortal rice to brew it."

If converted, one bottle of Zifu Immortal Wine requires 300 kilograms of immortal rice, which is equivalent to 90 kilograms of spiritual rice, or the output of 9 acres of fertile land.

If it were not used to grow magical rice, it could provide food for hundreds of thousands of people.

Chu Wujiang sobered up immediately and whispered:

"You can't drink too much of this wine."

Spiritual rice can be used as a great elixir for human beings.

Immortal rice can be used as local elixir.

If there is divine rice, it can probably serve as the Tianyuan Divine Pill.

After drinking this glass of wine, Chu Wujiang at least improved his hard work by several months.

When one reaches his level, the effectiveness of ordinary elixirs is greatly reduced.

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said:

"If you can grow more spiritual rice, you can naturally drink more."

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"My Lord, if you want me to agree to expand the spiritual rice, there needs to be a prerequisite."

The Duke of Zhenguo asked:
"What are the prerequisites?"

Chu Wujiang replied:
"That is to ensure food for the people and prevent famine."

"That's the bottom line."

The Duke of Zhenguo sighed:
"Master Chu, I have already said..."

Chu Wujiang stretched out his hand to stop him:

"My Lord, I am not here to argue with you."

"But there are farm matters that need to be discussed with the adults, and this will be a gift to you in return."

Stop arguing about stance issues. If both sides have different opinions, then try to seek common ground while reserving differences.

It just so happened that Chu Wujiang really brought a gift.

The Duke of Zhenguo said in a deep voice:

"Let's try to explain it."

Chu Wujiang said:

"I don't know about farming outside Longzhou, but for Longzhou, one mu of good farmland can produce about 800-1000 kilograms of rice, so farmers have made great contributions."

"I want to know how the farmers achieved this result?" The agricultural level of the Tianming Dynasty was backward, but the yield per mu was not low.

Without these solid foundations, if Lingmi had spread over such a large area, it would have already caused wars everywhere.

The Duke of Zhenguo is a saint among farmers. The magical rice he cultivated almost changed the world and brought him great fortune, which made him believe that he was not wrong.

When the Duke of Zhenguo mentioned the matter of agriculture and sericulture, his face became serious and he said:
"I didn't expect that the Champion Marquis would also be interested in agriculture and mulberry."

"Since the Human Emperor established the world, Ding Da Si Nong has been selecting and breeding high-quality crops. Any farmer who discovers a high-yield crop can be exempted from taxes, and the crop will be purchased by the court and cultivated in Tianyuan Mountain."

“This process was not abolished even during the war years.”

“Farmers were born out of this, and they have been selecting good varieties for tens of thousands of years.”

Chu Wujiang suddenly realized.

Human beings’ agricultural technology is not very advanced, but humans have a long history of civilization and agricultural cultivation.

This is a bit like the farmers in America.

They do not understand advanced breeding techniques, but they worship corn as a god. Every time there is a good harvest, they will select the best quality corn to offer to the gods and then plant it again.

Relying on the most primitive cultivation techniques and the worship of gods, farmers in America spent thousands of years bringing corn, potatoes, tomatoes, peanuts, etc. to mankind.

This was roughly what agriculture was like during the Tianming Dynasty.

The Emperor established the post of Grand Minister of Agriculture and began to select and breed the best quality rice seeds and sweet potatoes. After continuous cultivation and development, he finally produced high-quality varieties with an output of 800 or even 1000 kilograms per mu.

Chu Wujiang said sincerely:

"The farmers have made great contributions to the human race's present status."

The Duke of Zhenguo shook his head and said:
"The farming family has long been in decline. Since the discovery of Jiahe a thousand years ago, there has been no progress. We can only select and breed good varieties bit by bit."

"A thousand years ago, the yield of good farmland was 750 kilograms per mu. After a thousand years, it has only increased to about 900 kilograms."

"There has been no progress at all in the last three hundred years."

"The potential of ordinary crops has long been exhausted and there is no possibility of significant improvement. That is why I turned to studying spiritual rice."

Chu Wujiang finally figured out the reason for the farmers' decline: the seeds could not improve.

Three hundred years ago, the yield per mu was 900 kilograms, and now it still fluctuates around 900 kilograms.

There is no birth of Jiahe, no new high-yield seeds.

The destiny of the human race seems to be locked up, and agricultural output is trapped in a cage.

The age of demons not only symbolizes the power of demons, but also that the fortunes of the human race will begin to decline. For example, high-yield seeds will have a lower probability of mutation.

Farmers lost their vitality and the government’s funding became increasingly questionable.

It should be said that the Tianming Dynasty was still quite patient and still kept some talents in the Ministry of Households, but that was all.

But Chu Wujiang still has a problem.

He always felt a little weird, and couldn't help asking:
"My Lord, the Duke, I would like to ask you a question. The previous Duke of Zhenguo should have been a military man."

Why would the Duke go farming or even join a farming family?

The Duke of Zhenguo couldn't help but laugh and said:

"My father told me this when he was still alive."

"The world has been taken away by them."

"The order has been set. Mines, farmland, forests, not to mention natural resources and treasures, even well water has an owner."

"He left me 20 million mu of good farmland and manors. I just need to farm well and protect the family business."

hiss~
Chu Wujiang suddenly remembered that the mansion of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery was confiscated, with a total of 700,000 acres of fertile land, which made him one of the most powerful people in Longzhou.

But in front of the Duke of Zhenguo, it was just child's play.

The six founding dukes helped Emperor Hao win the world. They not only robbed the entire Longdu and the tombs of nobles from past dynasties in Mangshan, but naturally became extremely rich.

Just like the military class in the early Han Dynasty, they occupied about 40% of the arable land in the entire society.

Every time society is reshuffled, property is redistributed.

Seeing Chu Wujiang's envy, the Duke of Zhenguo couldn't help but smile and said:
"I have met the Chu family's ancestor once before. He is a sly guy and makes as much money as we do."

"I have never seen a viscount who could give away a teahouse so easily."

Although the Chu family shared Longzhou with the King of Donghai and gave up a lot of land to various nobles, forces, etc., the land they owned far exceeded the standard of a viscount.

On the contrary, Chu Wujiang has now been promoted to Marquis of Champion, and his land holdings match his status.

He heard the Duke of Zhenguo's ridicule and coughed quickly:

"Ahem, Your Excellency, let's get back to the topic."

"Now that I have a certain understanding of farmers, I may be able to find a way to increase the yield of some crops and repay the Duke's gift."

"Please send your attendants back."

The Duke of Zhenguo immediately ordered the maid to retreat and looked at Chu Wujiang with surprise.

"Could it be that the Champion Marquis possesses the ability of "innate knowledge"?"

There is an item in the Confucian destiny called "innate knowledge", which is sometimes silver and sometimes gold.

At least one has to be a natural saint to do this.

The Duke of Zhenguo himself is a saint among farmers and is very sensitive to the fortune of saints.

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"Of course not."

"It's just that I once got a secret book called "The Book of Agricultural Policy". It is said to be written by Shennong. The content described in it can help increase crop yields."

"That's why I specifically asked the Duke, wanting to know whether these scriptures are true or false."

Chu Wujiang had the ability to [forge books and scriptures], and he could make up lies, and every one of them was accurate.

He could not keep the secret of his time travel, nor could he show that he was proficient in some inexplicable knowledge, so he could only entrust it to the ancients.

If the ancients could compile it, Chu Wujiang could naturally compile it as well.

The Duke of Zhenguo frowned:
"Is this true?"

I have never heard of this scripture.

Because there is no such book.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"Some breeding knowledge is mentioned above, please review it, Your Excellency."

Before Chu Wujiang came, he wrote down some knowledge, waiting for this moment.

The Duke of Zhenguo could not help but take the book and start flipping through it. On it were written the words "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration - Breeding" in large letters.

Then the Duke of Zhenguo took a look and saw four big words written at the beginning of the article.

Cross breeding!

"Shennong said: Hybrid breeding has existed since ancient times, but its method was not well known until modern times."

"Hybridization is the process of taking the essence of different species and combining them into one, in the hope of producing a good variety."

"Hybrids are always superior to their parents, growing stronger and faster, so they are more productive."

“Drought resistance, flood resistance, insect pest resistance, etc. can all be combined into one plant through hybridization, so that the new species has all the advantages to cope with various changes.”

……

The more the Duke of Zhenguo read, the more frightened he became. He tightly grasped the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", which contained only one chapter, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Human crop breeding technology can be roughly divided into three stages.

Primitive breeding, hybrid breeding, molecular breeding.

The first is original breeding.

To put it bluntly, this technique is very simple, even primitive people know it.

That is to cultivate a large number of crops and wait for God to open his eyes, such as the birth of high-yield varieties, preserve high-yield seeds, and carry out breeding work.

The breeding technology of the Tianming Dynasty stopped here. After tens of thousands of years of development, it finally reached a bottleneck. If God does not give you high-yield varieties, you will have no temper.

The second is hybrid breeding
Its prerequisite science is genetics. Humans realized that they could actively interfere with the hybridization of different related plants so that crops could retain two excellent traits.

As for molecular breeding, it has reached the level of genetic modification.

Chu Wujiang was not able to write down all these contents, so he just focused on explaining the hybrid advantages.

Hybrid breeding is simple in theory. It is to hybridize two different varieties of crops to obtain excellent characteristics.

For example, hybrid corn has more than doubled the per-acre corn yield in less than 50 years.

Chu Wujiang deleted the relevant content of genetics, emphasized the advantages of hybridization, and wrote down the relevant methods of dihybridization and monohybridization.

Of course, hybrid rice in history was too difficult, and suitable rice seeds had to be found to complete it. Chu Wujiang did not expect to succeed here.

This is not the way to cheat.

It would be better to rely on rubbing the fertilizer by hand, which might result in faster progress.

He just hoped to use the power of the Duke of Zhenguo and work hard to increase the yield of various crops to a certain extent.

Increase production overall!
“Is this all true?”

“Why don’t farmers have books like this?”

"I think the path of the mortal race has reached its end."

The Duke of Zhenguo was a sage among farmers who personally cultivated the cultivation of spiritual rice. He quickly judged whether this knowledge was true or false.

He originally thought that there was no way forward for the farmers, that the luck of the human race had come to an end, and that it would be difficult to produce a suitable harvest.

In the past, Emperor Hao named the prince "Emperor Jiahe", perhaps because he hoped that the empire could discover new Jiahe and promote agricultural progress, rather than investing resources in the research of magical rice.

But Chu Wujiang took out the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" and forged Shennong's speech, which opened a new door for farmers.

Chu Wujiang chuckled and said:

"I don't know how to farm, I don't know what's good or bad, I don't know what's true or false."

The Duke of Zhenguo could not help but ask:

"Champion Marquis, where did this book come from?"

"How many treasures do you want in exchange?"

"If the content is true, I am willing to exchange it for my magic weapon!"

He couldn't sit still.

Once hybridization technology is popularized, farmers will be the biggest beneficiaries, and the Duke of Zhenguo will also enjoy a huge fortune.

That is, of course, assuming they succeed.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"I got the Complete Book of Agricultural Policy by chance, and its details are not to be told to outsiders."

"This can only be said to be related to Mangshan."

There are plenty of tombs in Mangshan, and Laozi has unearthed the masterpiece of a saint. Chu Wujiang can make up whatever he wants.

When necessary, new works by saints can be unearthed in Mangshan.

This is the value of this false book and false scripture.

As for exchanging hybrid technology for magic weapons, it is indeed a good deal.

But Chu Wujiang did not intend to let the Duke of Zhenguo buy out the technology.

He just wanted to borrow the power of the Duke of Zhenguo to experiment with the hybridization technology as soon as possible, and with the help of the Duke of Zhenguo's power, promote it on a large scale.

Always stay with me.

With every year of promotion, there is hope that many fewer people will die.

At the same time, Chu Wujiang maintains his contribution to this theory and hopes to share the fortune of the human race through it. How could he possibly sell the patent to you?

Of course, another point is that Chu Wujiang doesn’t know whether the hybridization technology can work.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if it didn't work?

The Duke of Zhenguo took a deep breath:

"If it's true, it's very valuable."

"Marquis Champion, this is a good omen."

The Tianming Dynasty would occasionally discover some good crops, that is, high-yield varieties, and local officials would report them, which would be regarded as a good omen for the empire.

However, there has been no good harvest in the past three hundred years, so even if local officials offered it, it would be fake.

Once the experiment is successful, the Duke of Zhenguo will be able to create auspicious signs.

Given his political stance, he will definitely develop in the direction of King Qin.

Chu Wujiang said in a deep voice:

"My Lord, I do not want this hybrid breeding to be used in court disputes."

"I just hope it can increase per-acre yield as soon as possible and overcome the food crisis."

"I will also inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so that he can join in."

The Chu family also hired some farmers' children to do experiments in the fields, but these insignificant forces were not enough.

For example, selecting rice seeds from various places and selecting distantly related rice seeds for experiments all require mobilizing resources across the country.

The Duke of Zhenguo and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince both need to get involved.

He first told the Duke of Zhenguo that it was for a favor and to gain his favor.

The Duke of Zhenguo could not help but fall silent.

After a long time, he couldn't help but say:
"Marquis of Guanjun, I have never seen anyone like you."

"If I don't agree to your request, I would be unworthy of being a farmer's sage."

"Originally, I wanted to give you a gift, but you gave me a gift instead."

Chu Wujiang smiled:
"My Lord Duke, although our positions are different, we share the same will to protect the human race."

The Duke of Zhenguo took a deep breath, regained his composure and said:

"But I have to remind you."

"Even if this technology is real and the yield per mu can be increased by 20-30%, it still cannot shake my determination."

"The Prime Minister wants to restrict the cultivation of spiritual rice, and the policy will be determined before the beginning of spring."

"I will still try my best to stop it."

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"By then, I will certainly become the enemy of the Duke."

We can cooperate, but we have different positions and we still have to fight.

The Duke of Zhenguo laughed loudly:
"well said!"

"If this breeding technology is successful, I will give you another gift."

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but ask:
"what gift."

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said:
"This is for Champion Hou, let's keep it as a surprise."

"Come on, drink!"

Both the host and the guest had a great time and felt that they had gained a lot.

Chu Wujiang used hybridization technology to provide farmers with a new path and reaped the gift from the Duke's Mansion.

The Duke of Zhenguo has obtained the next door to agricultural development. This hybrid technology is even expected to achieve a breakthrough in the production of spiritual rice.

Although it is impossible to increase the yield from 10 kilograms per mu to 1,000 kilograms per mu, it is entirely possible to increase it by 20 or 30 kilograms.

The two drank up the Purple Mansion Immortal Brew, and Chu Wujiang felt a little tipsy. He immediately added:
"My Lord, I have some important matters to attend to, so I cannot stay for long."

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said:
"The Champion Marquis wants to go to the Imperial Academy, right?"

"Those sour scholars like to talk about the words of saints, not as straightforward as me."

"Don't let them fool you with the words of the saints."

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Duke."

I am the only one who lies in this world.
