"Mrs. Wang, do you really want to eat?" Nuan Shu prides himself on being able to cook, but now that he sees the fried locusts on this plate, he still doesn't dare to speak.

Chen Lian was very calm, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a locust, and stuffed it into his mouth, "It tastes good." ”

The four people didn't dare to eat the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the Ruoqiang people outside had no choice but not to eat.

The locusts have crossed the border, and almost all of this year's crops have been eaten.

Just when everyone thought they would be hungry, the princess told them to eat the locusts they caught.

Although I am surprised, the execution of the country that values faith is still very strong.

When it was certain that the locusts could be eaten, everyone began to hunt for locusts in the surrounding area.

Even some desert snakes and other creatures will inevitably become food on everyone's plates.

If they are fortunate enough to have locusts to eat, the rest of the country will be miserable.

After the first batch of potatoes matured, the entire Ruoqiang's belief in Chen Lian reached a new high.

"The princess is really a bodhisattva sent by heaven to save the suffering!"

"That's right, the real Buddha is above!"

"The princess must have come from heaven, otherwise how could she take out such a strange thing as a potato!"

In this regard, Chen Lian just wanted to say that he didn't come from heaven, he just wanted to go to heaven.

Chen Lian could feel the admiration and awe of the rest of the people in the Tainu's mansion, except for the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting and a wolf cub.

Under Chen Lian's propaganda, people from those countries began to flee the famine, and many of them did so to be able to eat a full meal.

Chen Lian took advantage of the situation to engage in propaganda, planting trees and enlisting in the army to have the opportunity to obtain a Ruoqiang hukou.

After having potatoes in agriculture, Chen Lian's eyes were on the army.

The fear of hunger has caused many hard-hit refugees to pour into Ruoqiang.

What Chen Lian is afraid of is that there is no one, as long as there are people, there will always be a way to make them real Ruoqiang people.

Because the locust plague was so large, 100,000 people were recruited this time, almost the population of a country.

100,000 people in the prime of life, women, girls and children, and some middle-aged people, settled into Ruoqiang's rural hukou.

These people will be the main labor force indispensable for agricultural development.

Because the mountains and forests blocked the sandstorm, now the whole Ruoqiang loves to plant trees.

Not only the Zhaozhou Delta, but also other deserts around the Loulan Oasis have also begun to be planted.

However, the potato growing environment is not demanding, coupled with the increase of Ruoqiang's population, Ruoqiang people have also begun to carry water to irrigate the desert, and they are inspired to turn the desert into arable land.

Because of the long distances between countries, even if a country is destroyed, it may take more than a month for neighboring countries to know the news.

Therefore, by the time the rest of the countries reacted, Ruoqiang had already lost the desolation caused by the locust plague.

After knowing the scene on Ruoqiang's side, large countries such as Qiuzi, Loulan, and Yanqi all came to the court to buy potatoes from them at a high price.

King Ruoqiang laughed at the banquet, and then said, "You don't know, these things are all done by the little girl, and now Ruoqiang is so prosperous, everything is due to her." So you have to ask her about this potato trading method. ”

Everyone looked at Chen Lian present in amazement.

They were amazed that Ruoqiang was so prosperous now, and it was actually the credit of Chen Lian, and they were also surprised that King Ruoqiang had delegated power.

Although she has been made a princess, no king of any country would be so relieved to delegate power to his children.

However, all of this seems to be possible in Ruoqiang.

This time, the prince who came here is the prince of Qiuzi, who is very fond of the princess of Bao'an, and his name is Lonnayagai.

"Bao'an, this time my father wants me to thank you, and I also ask you to tell us how to grow potatoes, no matter how high the pay, we can give it." ”

The envoy asked curiously, "Prince Lonnayagai, why do you want to thank the princess of Ruoqiang?" ”

Lonnayagai didn't hide it, honestly "years ago. The princess said that there might be strong winds and sand sweeping the desert, so I should go back and plant more trees. It's also a shame to say, I didn't take what the princess said to heart at that time, but fortunately, my father remembered it and mobilized many people to plant trees, otherwise this time our Qiuzi might be directly wiped out by the sandstorm. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the envoys of all countries were amazed.

There are also countries that resent Chen Lian for not telling them, and said in a strange tone: "Why didn't Her Royal Highness the Queen of Ruoqiang tell us about this?" ”

Before Chen Lian got angry, Lonnayagai couldn't help but say, "If you tell you, you will believe it?" Who in the desert doesn't know that you can't cut down trees, but everyone still cuts down trees! Who doesn't know that planting trees is good, and who is planting trees again? ”

As soon as these words came out, the person who said this at the beginning directly lowered his head in shame.

It's like everyone knows that it's good to go to bed early, get up early, and exercise more, but staying up late will never be less because of this.

Chen Lian spoke at this time, "The method of potato planting, this palace can tell you, but this palace has a request......

After everyone left satisfied, King Ruoqiang asked puzzledly, "The grapes are very easy to grow, why do you still buy their grapes, Bao'an?" ”

This grape is not a rare commodity in the countries of the Western Regions, and almost every household grows some.

The Central Plains is rare, but the distance from the Western Regions to the Central Plains is long, and the grapes are not easy to store, so the caravans will not buy these grapes.

Almost every time the grapes are ripe, every household does not finish the grapes, and I don't know how many grapes are spoiled every year.

King Ruoqiang really couldn't think of why Chen Lian would say that within three years, the countries must provide them with 10,000,000 catties of grapes every year—almost 50% of the total grape production of the three large countries, and 90% of the total grape production of the small countries.

Even, he said that he would give the corresponding gold and silver.

For example, in exchange for the potato planting method, those people also gave them a lot of gold and silver.

In the face of hunger, gold and silver cannot be wrapped, and for the wealthy countries of the Western Regions, the exchange of gold and silver for potato planting methods is already very cost-effective.

Chen Lian said, "Father doesn't have to worry, the son has his own ideas for doing this." ”

A few months later, when the potatoes were ripe in the rest of the country, the grapes were ripe.

At this time, Chen Lian brought the wine to the family banquet table.

After everyone drank the wine, they immediately felt that it was fairy wine!

"Good, good!" The drunken Ruoqiang King and Qimu were constantly admiring, and both of them looked at Chen Lian's eyes with sparkling eyes, and finally understood what his previous actions meant.

Soon, Chen Lian recruited many unemployed vagrants to the country, and these people began to make wine in the factory.

The manufacture of this wine, Chen Lian is ready to be in the hands of the Ruoqiang royal family.

Because of the locust plague, Chen Lian has reduced the taxes of all Ruoqiang citizens.

In order to maintain the operation of the country and ensure the stability of the royal power, the treasury cannot be without money, and this wine alone is enough to compare with the national tax of only 300,000 people today.

Moreover, not having to pay taxes is also the key to attracting people from other countries to settle in Ruoqiang.

So, when the merchants of the Central Plains who deliberately avoided the disaster in the Western Regions arrived here again, they were stunned by the countries of the Western Regions that were still thriving after the disaster.
