Gu Yin was speechless. Why was he so overbearing? She said, "The sweet potato seedlings have already been planted. If we dig them up hastily, they will probably die. It will be more trouble than gain. But why do you want to keep the sweet potato seedlings alone? Wouldn't it be the same if you planted them in the villagers' homes?"

Jun Lan listened to Gu Yin's words and pondered for a moment. He probably felt that what Gu Yin said made sense, so he no longer insisted on digging the sweet potato seedlings. However, he still told Mo Yi to keep an eye on it secretly. When the sweet potatoes were ready to be dug, he would immediately spend money to buy them.

In response to Gu Yin's question, Jun Lan replied calmly: "There are many people with ulterior motives in this world. If the sweet potato yield is really that high, we have to be on guard."

Gu Yin suddenly realized what she had thought. It seemed that she had thought too simply. However, she still couldn't help but defend herself:

"In addition to the sweet potato seedlings given to the villagers, a lot of them were also planted on the farm of the county government. By using those sweet potatoes to keep the seeds and grow seedlings, it is estimated that they will be able to be promoted in Daji Dynasty in two or three years."

"Three years is too long." Jun Lan replied.

The Daji Dynasty had only been established for three years, and the major war had just ended. Although the big battles were basically over, small wars still occurred from time to time. Now that there was a chance to feed the soldiers on the border, how could he let it go easily.

Gu Yin now somewhat understood his idea, but the system only provided a few hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes last time and it never appeared again afterwards. She was not sure whether the system would provide them in the future.

However, the system also provides other food crops, such as cassava. When the weather gets cooler, the cassava stalks can be buried in the ground and can be planted next spring.

Of course, in addition to cassava, the system also provides many other crops. In addition, there is also hybrid rice, which is the killer weapon that can completely solve the problem of food and clothing.

Thinking of this, Gu Yin heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, his expression relaxed, and he looked very confident.

Jun Lan noticed her expression and guessed that she had other things he didn't know, so he couldn't help but remind her: "A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. The Daji Dynasty looks peaceful on the surface, but there are always some people behind the scenes who can't bear to see the court in peace."

After Jun Lan finished speaking, Gu Yin's heart suddenly tightened. Could he have figured out something?

But what he said made sense. Gu Yin was a little undecided as to whether or not she should tell him about the hybrid rice.

They chatted for a while before leaving.

Gu Yin returned home, but she felt more and more uneasy. After thinking about it, Gu Yin finally decided to talk to Jun Lan. As the patron saint of the Daji Dynasty, he should be more reliable than her to protect the interests of the people.

Gu Yin convinced herself and decided to go find Jun Lan immediately.

Pearl glanced at the dark sky outside and couldn't help but persuade her, "Miss, it's already dark, can't we do it tomorrow?"

"I can't wait any longer, let's go now." Gu Yin now felt that this matter could not be delayed even for a second. What if something happened and the rice fields were destroyed? Just thinking about it made her feel desperate.

The two of them took a carriage and hurried to Jun Lan's mansion. The mansion's guard was a little surprised to see Gu Yin visiting at dark.

But he didn't dare to say much. He invited Gu Yin to the hall, made some tea and said, "Miss, wait a moment. I will go and report to the master."

Having said this, he hurried away.

After a while, Jun Lan came in pushing a wheelchair. He must have just finished washing up, and his hair looked a little damp. He gathered it behind his back and tied it lightly with a hairband. He looked a little more casual than usual, and his godlike face seemed even more charming than usual.

Gu Yin suddenly felt a little regretful. She was just an ordinary girl and she couldn't stand facing such a peerless handsome man.

He was a little surprised by Gu Yin's arrival, but he also felt it was reasonable. He had felt during the day that she was hiding something.

"What...what do you want from me so late at night?" Jun Lan broke the quiet atmosphere between the two.

Gu Yin came back to her senses and asked tentatively: "If there is a good thing that can change people's lives, how would you treat it?"

"sweet potato?"

"No, it's another crop. It's more meaningful than sweet potatoes." Gu Yin explained.

"It must be handed over to the court for unified management." Jun Lan replied without hesitation.

"Is it... the court, or... you?"

"If there really is such a thing, just plant it and leave the rest to me."

"Will it fall into the hands of a few people, and the common people will not be the ultimate beneficiaries?" Gu Yin was still a little worried. He did not want hybrid rice to become a tool for some people to fight for power and profit.

"Trust me!" Jun Lan looked at Gu Yin with deep eyes and promised solemnly, "The court wants the people to live and work in peace and contentment more than anyone else. There are bound to be a few bad apples in the court, but they are nothing to be afraid of."

Seeing his solemn assurance, Gu Yin was moved: "I have planted 100 mu of rice on my farm. If the planting goes well, the yield per mu can reach 800 kilograms or even 1,000 kilograms."

"Crack!" The sound of wood breaking rang out in the empty hall, and Gu Yin was immediately frightened.

It turned out that Jun Lan broke the armrest of the wheelchair.

It takes a lot of strength to be able to move a wheelchair with bare hands.

"Really?" Jun Lan's excited voice sounded, confirming in disbelief.

"If everything goes well... I can't guarantee that it will succeed." Gu Yin shrank her neck, not daring to say anything complete.

Look at how excited he is now. If he fails, will he stop her from saying anything?

"No problem." Jun Lan saw through her thoughts at a glance. He believed that Gu Yin could really grow rice like that. Without thinking too much, Jun Lan had a strategy in mind: "I will arrange for people to work at your farm tomorrow. You just need to cooperate."

Gu Yin nodded in agreement, and then seemed to have thought of something, and said anxiously: "Will you leave some rice seeds for me when the time comes? You won't hand them all over to the court, right?"

Jun Lan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "If we can really grow rice with a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu, would you still worry about this?"

When a handsome man smiles, the room becomes bright.

Gu Yin was stunned for a moment, her heart pounding.

Realizing what he had said, she casually retorted, "You don't understand."

"It's your stuff, you decide." Jun Lan's smile remained unchanged.

No way! Gu Yin complained silently in her heart. He dared to say this because he knew she wouldn't do anything reckless.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first." Gu Yin said, picked up her skirt and hurried out.

"Miss, wait for me, why are you walking so fast?" Zhenzhu had been waiting outside the door. When she saw Gu Yin hurriedly walking out, it looked like she was running away, so she quickly chased after her.

Gu Yin ignored her and walked forward.

She secretly patted her pounding chest. She was in the same room with a peerless handsome man, and that handsome man was smiling so dazzlingly. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would lose control...
