Guo Zhiyuan's lecture has once again caused heated discussion in Gutian County. Although the people think that Guo Zhiyuan is a bit alternative, and the content and method of the lecture are completely different from those of the teachers in the private school, this does not hinder their love for Guo Zhiyuan. Instead, it further confirms the rumor that Guo Zhiyuan is the reincarnation of the stars. Otherwise, how could he know so many strange knowledge?

Of course, some people say that Guo Zhiyuan was teaching fallacies and nonsense, among which, the author Gu Zhiqian and other corrupt scholars opposed the most. After Guo Zhiyuan expanded the county school, he completely wiped out the teaching of Gu Zhiqian. He was naturally full of resentment. However, with Wang Demin's previous experience, he did not dare to confront Guo Zhiyuan openly, so he could only spread remarks slandering Guo Zhiyuan everywhere in private.

Guo Zhiyuan just laughed at this. He knew that he could not change the concept that people of this era had already become deeply rooted, especially corrupt scholars like Gu Zhiqian. To argue with such people, it would be better to focus on cultivating Mengsheng who was still a blank piece of paper. They are the future and hope of this country.

No matter what the adults think, Mengsheng's feelings are the most intuitive. What they like most now is Guo Zhiyuan's "Survey" class. Not to mention the many things they have learned, it is also very interesting. The only bad sequelae is that Mengsheng is now in love with experiments. These days, there are often Kongming lanterns of all sizes flying in the sky of Gutian City. There are many wooden houses in Gutian City. The unburned Kongming lanterns fell down and almost burned the wooden house. Guo Zhiyuan had to order these Mengsheng to do such dangerous experiments. It is necessary to avoid the places where the crowd lives, and they must be accompanied by adults.

In addition to the Mengsheng, there is another person who also likes to listen to Guo Zhiyuan's teachings. This person is the Poison King Bee! Although Xu Guangqi and others also like to listen to Guo Zhiyuan's teachings, they also have to teach, and the official duties are very heavy, so they cannot come to listen every time. Only the Poison King Bee is a must-visit every time. At first, she still pulled Chu Wan'er with her, but later because Chu Wan'er had to lead a group to train in the village soldiers and could not accompany her, so she came alone.

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan was happy to see this situation. Of course, he hoped to recruit the Poison King Bee. He did not have real military talents now, so he could only let Chu Wan'er drive the ducks to the shelves as the commander of the gang's training soldiers. The Poison King Bee was well versed in military tactics and was very knowledgeable about formations. If he could recruit them, he would make up for his biggest shortcomings.

For this reason, he specially tested the Poison King Bee after a class and invited her to serve as a professor in the new school, specializing in the art of war among Mengsheng. Unexpectedly, the Poison King Bee said coldly: "I think you made a mistake. I came to listen to your lecture just to understand you more and defeat you openly in the future!" After that, he left without looking back!

Guo Zhiyuan touched his nose awkwardly. It seemed that there was a long way to go to subdue this proud and paranoid woman! At this time, Wang Xi came to report that Zhang Cheng had come back with two people. Guo Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He sent Zhang Cheng to Changle to save Chen Zhenlong, but there was no news. Now that he is back, it is probably the mission that has been completed. Most of the two people he brought are Chen Zhenlong and his son Chen Jinglun!

I still want to see Chen Zhenlong and Guo Zhiyuan, who was later called the "father of sweet potatoes" by later generations. There are few records of Chen Zhenlong in official history, and even if there are, it is just mentioned. So for a long time, there was controversy over when and who brought sweet potatoes to China. It was not until Guo Moruo clearly stated in his works that the sweet potatoes were brought into China by Chen Zhenlong in 1593 that Chen Zhenlong's historical contribution was confirmed. Guo Moruo also wrote a poem to praise Chen Zhenlong's historical achievements in introducing sweet potatoes to China, saying that he was more than Shennong, who knew it?

When Guo Zhiyuan walked into the county government residence, Zhang Chengzheng stood at the door with a gray-haired old man and a young man waiting. The gray-haired old man should be Chen Zhenlong. At this time, Chen Zhenlong showed his old look and even his back was a little hunched. He was unintentionally incompatible with the lonely hero in Guo Zhiyuan's mind who dared to risk his life to bring sweet potatoes into China from the noses of the Spanish colonists.

When Chen Zhenlong saw Guo Zhiyuan in official uniform coming, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him: "Caughter Chen Zhenlong has seen the county magistrate, thank you for your kindness in saving you!" But his son Chen Jinglun was a little arrogant and did not kneel down immediately. It was Chen Zhenlong who pulled him hard that he knelt down reluctantly.

Guo Zhiyuan quickly stepped forward and helped the two of them up, sighing: "Honey Chen, please get up quickly. Chen, the sweet potatoes are introduced into the land of China. The merits are in the country and the benefits are in the future. How dare Guo accept such a great gift from Mr. Chen! It should be that Guo should bow to Mr. Chen on behalf of the people!..." As he said that, he really bowed to Chen Zhenlong and bowed!

Chen Zhenlong looked at Guo Zhiyuan in surprise. No one had ever given him such a high evaluation. He also showed a touch of emotion on his face and hurriedly said, "How can the grass people afford such praise from the adults? It's really a shame to the grass people!" The arrogance on Chen Jinglun's face, who was beside him, also disappeared, showing an excitement.

Guo Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Add to be true! Afford to be true!"

He invited Chen Zhenlong and Chen Jinglun to the living room of the official residence to sit down and asked Wang Xi to serve incense tea. Guo Zhiyuan did not make any more politeness and proposed the idea of ​​his plan to promote sweet potato planting in Gutian on a large scale. Chen Zhenlong smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Although this idea is good, it may be difficult to implement. The governor of Jin (Note: Jin Xuezeng, who was once the governor of Fujian) also had this idea. It happened that there was a severe drought in Fujian, and there were some gains. However, this food was prone to bloating and was quite indecent, so the people were unwilling to plant it. After the severe drought, fewer people planted..."

Guo Zhiyuan naturally thought about the possible problems that may be encountered in promoting sweet potato planting. He had already made a decision in his heart and waved his hand and laughed: "I have my own way to make the people willing to plant. Mr. Chen just needs to give some advice on what to pay attention to in the planting of sweet potatoes..."

Seeing that Guo Zhiyuan was very confident, Chen Zhenlong had to smile awkwardly and said, "In this way, the people wished the generals a success!"

Guo Zhiyuan asked Chen Zhenlong again if he knew where corn and potatoes were. In order to avoid the different names of corn and potatoes in this era and make mistakes, Guo Zhiyuan also specially drew out the general appearance of corn and potatoes. Chen Zhenlong took the drawings drawn by Guo Zhiyuan and looked at them, hesitated and said: "These two things have indeed been heard from Spanish sailors. But I have not gone to sea for a long time and am old this year, so I may not be able to find these two things for adults..."
