Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"Yes."

He nodded slightly, and then told Ma Zhou the countermeasures. Chang Sun's face looked much better, and he said solemnly:

"Old man! Leave the potato matter to me!"

Guo Shoujing was already very busy with government affairs, and she was of course well aware of this and wanted to lighten his burden as much as possible.

After all, potatoes are a sacred thing with so many connections that there must not be any mistakes, so it must be managed by trusted individuals.

After thinking for a while and seeing that she looked quite determined, Guo Shoujing said, "Okay, Eunuch Cao also knows about this matter and can be of great use..."

Suddenly he was stunned again!
He seemed to have written the speech "establishing a heart for heaven and earth" in Feibai style before, but it had been too long and he was busy all the time.
Plus, Ma Zhou was not very prominent at the time, and big things happened one after another, so for a while he forgot about it and didn’t react!
So slow!
I was "shocked" twice!

The last time it was said by Eunuch Cao. At that time, Guo Shoujing had just heard these words and was shocked by the potato yield per mu before he had time to savor them!
ecstasy!

So those words didn’t cause much waves!

"This little bastard, I was wondering how he could run so fast! He's been fooled, he's been fooled..." Guo Shoujing slapped his forehead, still feeling quite depressed.

He recalled Ma Zhou's hurried departure just now, as if there was a ferocious beast standing behind him.

Is it because of this?
But this kind of thing can only be dealt with in silence. After all, he was just asking if there were any warnings. As long as no one is using them, that sentence…
There's really nothing wrong with that!

And it is very consistent with the founding purpose of the Institute of Biology!

"Old man? What's wrong? What fooled you?" Mrs. Guo asked curiously.

"cough…."

Guo Shoujing had no intention to reveal such an embarrassing thing in front of Mrs. Guo, so he simply said, "It's nothing. Just a small matter..."

Without waiting for her to speak, he continued talking!
After learning about the "Genwu Academy" and the "Royal Military Academy", Mrs. Guo also frowned and said

"But is it similar to Jixia Academy and Hongdumen Academy?"

The Jixia Academy was a special institution of higher learning during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was both officially organized and privately hosted.

It was the central arena for academic debate among hundreds of schools of thought at that time, and it effectively promoted the formation of academic debate in the world!

Hongdumen Academy is also an alternative institution of higher learning. It was built by eunuchs in the Eastern Han Dynasty in order to cultivate intellectuals to support them. It is a product of political struggle.

"Yes and no. Neither of them will get involved in political affairs, and the difference is huge. We can try it for now, that is, the staff of the Institute of Gewu..."

The corners of Guo Shoujing's mouth twitched, and he looked quite helpless.

This brat always likes to create problems, and then walk away after he's done with them, leaving behind a bunch of tricky things!
"Perhaps the Jixia Academy still has some inheritance. Erlang, why don't you try to send someone to look for it? Kong Jijiu should know something about it.

Mrs. Guo suggested.

The achievements of the Jixia Academy in the past were very high. If there are still people supporting it now,
Then after selecting this group of people, they will be arranged to the Institute of Gewu…
That’s not a bad idea!
After all, those people must have many long-lost things in their hands, such as Zhuge Crossbow, wooden oxen and flowing horses, etc.

If we can win them over, we can focus on "investigating things and seeking knowledge", keep them out of the court and concentrate on academic study.

For Dayan, there are only benefits and no harm!
It was thanks to Li Shimin's high prestige that he was able to facilitate this matter. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure from the aristocratic families.

Why did some emperors throughout the ages like to engage in war, conquer and expand their territory?
That is because only in this way can one accumulate such a great reputation and avoid being sidelined by a group of ministers. What he said...
That's what you say!

Otherwise it would just be a joke!
With power firmly in your hands, it will be much easier to do whatever you want!
"You reminded me!" Guo Shoujing's eyes lit up.

"Well, old man, you don't have to worry! There will always be a way out when you get to the mountain. Let's take a break and go for a walk in the Imperial Garden. Didn't we agree on this long ago?"

Mrs. Guo scolded.

Guo Shoujing smiled, patted her hands, stretched himself, and stood up:

"Okay! Let's go then?"

Because of Ma Zhou's visit to the palace, the palace was in a state of busyness.

This time it is Eunuch Cao's turn to suffer.

He is busy all day long!
Not only did he have to deal with the potato issue, he also had to send people around to inquire about the whereabouts of the "Jixia Academy".

There are so many things to do!

Soon, officials from the Ministry of Revenue were also mobilized.
The entire court was once again plunged into a rush, and the ministers were all busy and somewhat overwhelmed.

Especially the officials from the Ministry of Revenue!

Let the people raise pigs?

Take your life! Do you believe that you will be scolded by a bunch of unruly people, or even hit with a hammer?

What can you do with this beast?
It was just a death order from His Majesty himself. Even though many people complained, they could only complete it conscientiously. I think...
It's also the work of that person!

There must be some truth to that!

A Hundred Cavalry Division was also set up in the palace, and it was still commanded by Eunuch Cao!
A hundred cavalrymen, this can be considered a royal guard, but their main task is to collect intelligence. They can be considered as Li Kuan's eyes in Yanyun City.

Even.
Expand to the entire Da Yan!
In the blink of an eye, another ten days had passed, and what happened in the court was going on.

Of course Li Kuan was too lazy to pay attention. Now that Dayan was on the right track, he could be said to be gradually delegating power.

In fact, what he hates most is words like "If you can do it, then do it!"
His son is not in this line of work, so even if he has the ability, why would he want to do it?
Are those guys’ salaries the same as those of white-collar workers?
Hey!

Anyway, if you want to be lazy, you can always find some reasons!
It's unreasonable and arrogant!

I have had some free time during this period, and I am living a comfortable life. I lie comfortably in the yard, sip a little wine, and cook some side dishes.

He dozed off in the rocking chair, ate and drank, and if he felt too idle, he would rub Xiao Yanyan's chubby face, or cuddle up with Du Ruyan.

If all else fails, go watch the old man, Mr. Tang, Guan Shurong and others play chess; take a stroll on the street and watch a bunch of dandies riding horses, walking dogs, raising birds, and fighting crickets. If you don’t like what you see…
Catch these Muggles again and give them a good beating!
There is always fun, hidden in every aspect of life!

The hot air balloon has not risen since the wedding day. The little girl is quite timid. Although she is quite arrogant, she is actually...

What a coward!
When he heard that they were going to go to the sky to play, he immediately shook his head and refused. His legs were trembling, and he refused to go up for a stroll no matter what.

I guess this girl is a little afraid of heights, so it will take some time.

Only then can you slow down!
As for Du Ruhui, Qin Fei and others, they were somewhat cautious. Even those who were usually carefree did not clamor to go up to the sky to take a look.

This is no nonsense!

Isn't there one person who hasn't gone up yet?

The dignified and majestic emperor!
Shouldn't he nod?

But who dares to ask? Otherwise, people will accuse you of "borrowing money from Vietnam" in a minute, and who can bear it?

The hot air balloon was left idle at Li's mansion, which was heavily guarded and guarded by the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, so there was nothing to worry about.

In fact, even if those people with ulterior motives get close, they can't do anything about this hot air balloon, after all, they don't know how to use it at all!

this day.

Guo Shoujing finally squeezed out some time from his busy schedule and ran to Ma's house. Before Ma Zhou, who was dozing off, could react...
He lay on the rocking chair next to him and basked in the sun!

It is early spring again, and the wind carries not only the rich fragrance of flowers but also bursts of pleasant coolness.

Coupled with the warm sunshine, drinking a sip of beautiful grape wine and eating a few bites of delicious food, this is simply a carefree day like in heaven.

"You kid, you really know how to enjoy yourself! It makes me jealous." Guo Shoujing said sourly.

"That's right! How tiring it is to be a high official? You are so busy every day! You have to work day and night, and worry all your heart out! It's not worth it!"

"Isn't the purpose of living a life of ease and freedom?"

Ma Zhou talks freely!

A burst of complaints!
Only a fool would become a high-ranking official!
Anyway, the two of them are very familiar with each other, there is no need to be polite, just say whatever comes to mind, which is also something that His Majesty Li II admires about him...
He is straightforward, unlike the hypocritical ministers in the court!
In Guo Shoujing's mind, even Wei Zheng, the so-called loyal minister, had some selfish motives to a greater or lesser extent, and was not as pure as Ma Zhou.

Xiao Yanyan went to play with Changle. With Du Ruyan watching over them, there was no need to worry, and no one came to disturb them from chatting.

After chatting like this for nearly half an hour, Ma Zhou finally understood some things.

I learned from Kong Yingda that the Jixia Academy does have a legacy, and it is now also called the Hidden Sect, which is considered a force in the martial arts world...

However, the whereabouts of the Hidden Sect are rather elusive, and they usually do not show their true colors.

Not many people know about it.

In fact, even among the hundreds of families, there are twenty or thirty with successors, and they actually gather together every five or ten years.

Because of this incident, Guo Shoujing felt that his control over Dayan was not strong enough, so he set up a Hundred Cavalry Division.

At least we can't be in the dark!

Especially since Yanyun City is the imperial capital, there cannot be any mistakes!

Guo Shoujing was still complaining, while Ma Zhou yawned and felt drowsy listening to his nagging…
After more than an hour, they finally stopped. The two of them, together with Eunuch Cao and a dozen guards, rushed towards Li's Mansion again.

Little Yanyan and Little Changle were having fun, so they didn't run out!
In fact, Guo Shoujing had long wanted to go to heaven to see the world, especially to take a good look at Yanyun City!
Overlooking the overall situation!

Came to Li’s house and looked for Li Kuan.

Li Kuan seldom lives in the mansion, so it seems deserted and quite deserted, but there are still heavy troops hidden in the mansion.

Most of these were arranged by Guo Shoujing!
"Is this a hot air balloon? It's a thing of science..."

Looking at the still-pulling sphere, Guo Shoujing's mouth twitched.

Just with this thing, can it take people to the sky?
"If it's a mule or a horse, we can just take it out for a walk and we'll know, right?"

"Master Guo. His Majesty asked me to take you to see the world."

Ma Zhou didn't waste any time and directly flipped into the hanging basket.

Ma Zhou also stood up soon, and Eunuch Cao, as his personal bodyguard, had to provide good protection, so he followed as well.

Ma Zhou just curled his lips when he saw this.

If there really were to be an accident and they fell from such a high place, all three of them would be dead. What could they do to protect themselves?

But he was not worried about the safety issue. After all, he was His Majesty, who had spent a lot of money to make it. He also had a parachute. If he was smashed into a pulp, that was not bad enough...
Not long after the three of them stood on the hanging basket, Ma Zhou was still making preparations, while Guo Shoujing looked around curiously.
At this moment, a figure rushed over, still shouting:

"Master Guo, Master Guo! Wait a minute, here comes Yue Fei!"

It’s Yue Fei!

The old man was still smiling and panting. He must have known the situation here and rushed over without stopping.

Hot air balloon…
With Yue Fei's crazy personality, he must have been thinking about this matter for a long time.

At least you can go to the sky to broaden your horizons, which sounds really cool!
But there has never been a chance!
He ran up to the group, his forehead covered with beads of sweat, and he was still laughing. Guo Shoujing rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily:

"General Yue, come up quickly!"

"okay!"

Yue Fei was not polite either. He flipped into the hanging basket very swiftly, with a smile still on his old face.

Under the pretext of 'protecting Lord Guo'!
Under this banner, even the censors can't say much!
Ma Zhou didn't waste any time talking and just talked about the general precautions, so as to avoid the three country bumpkins from getting angry later.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I did something dangerous?

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense! Fly up and take a look, we are not stupid!" Yue Fei waved his big hand like a palm-leaf fan.

Guo Shoujing's face also turned dark, and Eunuch Cao's expression was not very good either.

After all, Ma Zhou, the look of contempt that just appeared in his eyes...
Everybody saw it!

Who do you look down on?

"Hurry up!" Eunuch Cao also shouted.

"hey-hey."

Ma Zhou smiled and opened the switch valve. With a "bang", the flame immediately shot up, and then the deflated balloon also inflated.

After accumulating for a while, when the pressure is about the same…
He suddenly raised the hot air balloon up!

"brush!"

The hanging basket also quickly rose into the air, and the people were unable to stand firmly, and they stumbled...
Thanks to Ma Zhou's previous reminder, Guo Shoujing and the other two were somewhat mentally prepared and supported them in time.

However, the sudden feeling of being in the air still makes people feel a little uncomfortable!
"I suspect that you are trying to bully us, but I have no evidence!" Yue Fei glared at him viciously with his gong-like eyes.

"Humph! That's it!" Eunuch Cao was also frightened.

Guo Shoujing also had an unfriendly look in his eyes.
