After the banquet, Xu Zheng changed out of the luxurious gift and put on his own clothes, which were hard and uncomfortable, far less comfortable than the cloth sewn by Aunt Lucina. The prince's golden crown didn't know what to do, so Xu Zheng threw it directly into his personal space.

Now, Xu Zheng also has his own residence in Samus Castle, and since he was forcibly left behind by Rex, he had to follow the servants to lead Lulu to his residence. To tell the truth, when he came in, he was just a commoner, but now he suddenly became a prince, and the news spread quickly, walking along the road, everyone nodded and saluted when they saw it, calling him a prince, and going all the way, the prince called Xu Zheng goosebumps all over his body and danced wildly on his skin, and he was so disgusted that he couldn't do it. The only thing that is gratifying is that the four girls who helped him take a bath are not afraid of him, although they also call him a prince with a smile, their voices and expressions are not as distant as the estrangement between the lower and the higher, but they make Xu Zheng much more comfortable.

The place where he lived was on the fourth floor of the half of the military part of Samus Castle, and when he went up, he realized that the entire fourth floor belonged to him, which scared Xu Zheng a lot.

I've just settled Lux, and I'm surveying my place of residence, and I'm going to be summoned to say that Rex has an invite. Xu Zheng had no choice but to stay.

When I walked to Rex's residence, I found that all the people were there, and Jimmy, a flowery guy, came out of nowhere, and was actually there.

Seeing Xu Zheng appear, Jimmy covered his mouth and smiled, and when Xu Zheng approached, he also made a noble salute to Xu Zheng with eyebrows, calling him His Royal Highness the Prince, which made Xu Zheng depressed for a while.

Rex smiled and said to Xu Zheng: "The guests are gone, now is the real family gathering, the time to share the birthday with relatives." ”

Family gatherings? It makes people feel much more comfortable.

Xu Zheng stepped forward with a smile and saluted, Rex waved his hand, and said, "My family, you don't need to be so polite, go to Dane." He loves this. ”

"Dad!" Dane said a little unbearably, "Who likes this?" Xu Zheng, I heard Bruce say that you have a lot of delicious food there, so you didn't bring some of them?"

Of course, I brought it, and it was all take-out ice cream gift boxes, and there were more than 20 servings. It's all crammed into your own personal space. At this time, Dane asked, and took it out of his personal space and presented it to everyone.

This is the first time Jimmy has seen the skill of personal space, and he will inevitably shout again and be surprised.

Bruce ordered someone to fetch the dishes, and Dane smiled at Xu Zheng: "It's better not to show this skill casually." It's a bit too shocking. There is only one space prop in the entire Samus Royal, and it is still treasured in the treasury. But. I don't think this skill is magic, what the hell is it?"

Xu Zheng replied embarrassedly: "A skill in my hometown is not something that everyone can know. After that, he glared at Rex with some unhappiness and said, "It's not because of him! Now it's good. Just thinking that there would be a lot of magicians asking this and that. I just had a headache. ”

Rex laughed, proud of what had forced Xu Zheng's skill out.

Bruce said, "Magically home." It seems to be omnipotent. Curious. I've always only heard you talk about your hometown, but where is your hometown?"

This question made Xu Zheng stammer for a while. But I don't know how to answer. Fortunately, the Samus family is all interested people, and when they saw that Xu Zheng obviously showed reluctance to speak, they stopped asking.

The tableware was brought up, and the deliciousness of the ice cream resolved Xu Zheng's predicament. The beautiful packaging, beautiful appearance, sweet and cold taste of ice cream quickly conquered everyone, especially the emperor, Maya and Sedi, and their attention was all on the ice cream, and they were no longer interested in the conversation of several people, and all their energy was devoted to eating this delicious thing. As for Baron Lily, he loved this thing to death, eating one box and taking another, with an expression on his face that didn't bother me and made me concentrate on eating.

Old Rex and Dane were eating this for the first time, and they couldn't help but praise it, and it seemed that they would immediately ask Chef Gong Yan to learn this method. It's funny to think about it, ice cream is such a thing, first of all, Gong Yan's luxury food, after it reaches Xu Zheng's hands, the first thing to taste is a commoner, and then it is the turn of the royal family, and they completely turn around.

Maya was eating, humming happily with the snail and oriole in her nose. When Sadie heard this, he laughed and hummed softly. Recalling that the three of them were singing this children's song and Princess Chilian on the battlefield, Xu Zheng couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly remembering a question, he asked, "What's the matter with Chilian, it doesn't seem to have a good relationship with us?"

Bruce said, "It's always been like this. It's not a strange thing, it's just that this time I didn't use force to challenge, and I just found Maya. ”

"Chilian and Cheng'an are neighbors, and the relationship between the two countries has always been tense. When his father was in power, he fought a lot of battles, and Chilian lost more and won less, so he naturally had a grudge against Cheng'an. However, they didn't dare to be so arrogant in the past, and after Cheng'an passed it into my hands, it was mismanaged, and the national strength dropped a lot, and these clowns who jumped off the beam also dared to come out and shout in person. I'm sorry, father, but I was incompetent. Cheng'an has passed into my hands, and it is no longer as strong as it was back then. With a sigh, Dane was a little disappointed.

Rex patted Dane on the shoulder and said, "It's not your fault. Cheng'an has gone downhill over the years, not because you caused it. After you took office, the people are doing better than when I was in power, and I am very pleased. ”

Xu Zheng asked puzzled

I don't care, and I don't want to care. But the people's lives are better, and this is unreasonable. I have heard some legends in the lower part of the imperial capital, all of which say that King Dane is a wise monarch and is deeply loved by the people, even if there is such a people-oriented concept of governance, the national power should only rise, not fall. ”

"People-oriented?" Dane chewed on the meaning repeatedly, and couldn't help but glance at Xu Zheng deeply, before he said, "Maybe you don't know the geography of Cheng'an, Jimmy, go and get the map." ”

Jimmy was extremely unhappy and put down the ice cream in his hand and took the map. Bruce spread it out on the table and pointed it out to Xu Zheng.

Looking at this rough map drawn on a parchment scroll, Xu Zheng was really speechless, really ...... It's very simple, so simple that Xu Zheng doesn't even understand it at first glance.

Dane pointed to the place on the map that was outlined in red. said: "This is the territory of Cheng'an Country. Cheng'an is bordered by Chilian on the left, Tusika on the right, uninhabited swamps on the back, and the Westangrove Mountains in front, beyond which is the sea, and the whole mountain range is only narrowly connected by a strait for ships to enter and exit. Therefore, the sea surface cannot blow in, Cheng'an has little rain every year, and most of the grain growth is not good. Father was there at the time, through a lot of mining. Then the ore was exchanged for grain, and the national strength has always been good. When it was handed over to me, there was not much left of the mineral deposits, and I did not dare to mine them in large quantities, and I had to ensure the needs of my country, so there was nothing to take out and exchange. In addition, after the Great War, the people needed to recuperate, so they had to reduce taxes. The low yield of grain and the decrease in ore reserves are the fundamental reasons for the continuous decline of Cheng'an's national strength. You look at the location of Chilian again. Similarly, the situation is in the Chilian situation, so there is a constant struggle between the two countries for the resources of Keli. ”

After listening to Dane's explanation, Xu Zheng looked back at the map and understood a little. Cheng'an's location is indeed not very good, as Dane said. It is true that the cold, moist winds blowing from the sea cannot reach the land and inland where the dry, hot air currents meet. Such a situation makes Cheng'an not enough rain every year. In the north, too much rain has created an uninhabited swamp. With severe rain imbalance, it's no wonder that the imperial capital of Zion is so hot in the summer. And I haven't seen a single rain fall for a long time.

Xu Zheng groaned. He said, "Can't you dig a canal or something to bring water over?"

Rex said, "When I was in power. Done this project. Barely solved the problem of drinking water in the imperial capital, and the lake outside Samus Castle was connected to the canal. When it was finally done, it was only improved, but the actual problem was not solved. In fact, the problem of domestic water and land is not the solution, let alone the problem of irrigation water. ”

Dane said: "With Cheng'an's current national strength, it is impossible to dig a canal again. The cost of that project was too much to pay. ”

Xu Zheng nodded, he had already noticed this in Xiacheng District. In addition to a few deep wells, the water used by the residents had to go to the moat or farther away, and it seems that the water from the moat should also come from the canal.

Looking for a place on the map that might be a vast forest, Xu Zheng remembered that during the rainy season there, the rain was very abundant, and before he left, there was a flood. Xu Zheng buried his head in searching for a long time before he found a gray area, next to the swampy area. "What is here?"

Fu Lun said: "The Illusion Demon Beast Forest, a three-way zone. There are 100,000 mountains, and it is the largest demonic beast forest in the Aris continent. It is said that this place has the most complete variety of Warcraft. According to legend, it also has a name, called the birthplace of Warcraft, which roughly means that this is the original birthplace of Warcraft. ”

Xu Zheng wanted to ask again, but he didn't want to involve his origins, so he had to give up, pointed to a few irregular shapes on the map, and asked, "What is this?"

Fu Lun stretched out his head to look at it and said, "This is an artificial lake dug by Grandpa before, which is used to store water. There used to be water, but now because of the lack of rain, most of it has dried up, and even if there is water, there is not much water in it. ”

Xu Zheng thought about it carefully and said: "So the current problem boils down to one point, that is, the problem of insufficient rain, which is the most basic problem affecting Cheng'an. If you can guarantee rain in the driest season, you can fill these lakes at a minimum, and you can do a lot of the trick, right?"

Dane nodded and said, "Unfortunately, this is the biggest problem, the sea breeze blows in too high to form rain." ”

Xu Zheng subconsciously touched the back of his head, and it was not possible to blow it in and not be able to reach the land to form a rain surface after blowing it in, which meant that as long as he could think of making the moist air in the air form raindrops, there would be a way to make it rain, so the problem would be solved.

What if artificial rain is used? Xu Zheng carefully studied the map for a long time, letting the ice cream in his hand melt all the time, and a contemplative expression appeared on his face.

Bruce and Xu Zheng have been together for a long time, and every time he thinks of a ghostly idea, his face will show this expression of repeated inference. I couldn't help but feel a surge of ecstasy in my heart, and shouted with joy: "Xu Zheng, good brother, have you thought of any way to solve this problem?"

Rex and Dane were stunned, and Huo Di looked up at Xu Zheng.
