Chapter 51: Waste Becomes Treasure!
Chen Rui saw the information and understood the battle between Joseph and Kanita, and after thinking for a while, he finally nodded and said: "This is indeed a good opportunity, Kanita should be the object we can take advantage of." ”
"The enemy of the enemy may not be a friend," Xia frowned, "Even if Kanita came to the Dark Moon, the purpose was to complete the mission of the Imperial Capital to control the Dark Moon." ”
"That's not how the account is calculated, Eldest Princess," Chen Rui shook his head, "Joseph's economic control over Darkmoon has now reached an almost extreme level, and unless the old Shili family who supports Eldest Princess, such as the Saifu family, falls to Chiyu, our situation will not get worse." On the contrary, the strength of the Dark Moon is one of the important assets for Joseph to compete with Kanita, and Kanita will never be allowed to take over the Shili that he has worked so hard to manage, even if Kanita does come to the Dark Moon, it will inevitably encounter huge resistance, or it will trigger more counterattacks from Joseph. We are taking advantage of this opportunity to secretly weaken and break free from the dark economic control. ”
Xia listened and nodded continuously, and Old Gauss showed appreciation: "The eldest princess is right, it is really overkill to let you serve as a notekeeper. ”
"Lord Gauss has won the award, in fact, the position of the chronicler is high enough," Chen Rui, of course, didn't want to come to the front desk to attract attention, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "I am a human after all, I can have some small ideas behind my back, and it will be very satisfying to help the eldest princess."
"This is not a small idea, your wisdom and ability are beyond doubt," Xia Ya's beautiful purple eyes showed a burning look, "I don't like to promise empty promises, but if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”
Chen Rui didn't take this kind of thing to heart, this time, that time. He has seen a lot of stories about the bird and the rabbit and the dog Heng, but now, but his ambition is not here, so he doesn't care.
Old Gauss turned his attention to the topic, Chen Rui just said that in terms of weakening and getting rid of Chiyou's control, Xia Ya had already prepared. Although about half of Darkmoon's business is controlled by Joseph, this half of Joseph actually includes the part controlled by the Mellon family, and the remaining half is in the hands of the Severic family and several old families.
One of the most critical issues at the moment is food. Darkmoon is rich in medicinal herbs and ores, but it has always been short of food. The food of the demon clan is generally based on crops, supplemented by meat, due to the special soil quality of the Dark Moon Territory, it has been difficult to have high yields in terms of crops, even when it was the most prosperous year, most of the food was purchased from other territories.
Through the efforts of the Saifu family and several other families in the past few years, they have raised a large number of leather pigs and plate bone cattle, and the source of meat has been greatly alleviated, but the more important crop aspects are still unable to improve, and they can only rely on the supply and support of the Chiyou Territory. Chen Rui had heard Xia say that because the space equipment was extremely rare and the capacity was too small, it could only hold a large amount of grain, so it could only rely on caravan transportation, and the grain caravans she sent to the south and west were all robbed and killed by the so-called 'thief group' and suffered heavy losses. Therefore, if the food problem can be solved, Red Shadow's control over the Dark Moon will be greatly weakened.
Food, crops...... Chen Rui frowned and was silent, he had too little knowledge of agriculture, and the geographical conditions of the Demon Realm were special, so the agricultural knowledge of the earth might not come in handy......
Suddenly, he thought of the two loud farts he had just made at the cloak meeting, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up: Lala potato!
It seems that an important talent was almost overlooked just now!
This action made the eyes of Sia and old Gauss fall on him in unison. When Kaka was taken from the cloak by the guards to the palace chamber, the poor goblin thought that he had attempted a drug robbery, and his green face turned white with fright. Especially when facing a legendary big man like Princess Thea, he trembled and forgot to salute.
"Kaka," the human note-keeper familiar with the goblins walked over, "you tell Her Highness the eldest princess about that lala potato." ”
"Help, sir!" Kaka said incoherently as if grasping at a life-saving straw, "Lala Potato...... That, I'...... I'll never dare to fart again!"
As soon as the words fell, a sound came out from behind the buttocks of the dark goblin, and now Chen Rui's face turned white, he could have understood the power of this gas, and hurriedly retreated.
The dark goblin almost wanted to cry, and his whole body collapsed to the ground limply, what did he do just now? In the famous palace chamber, facing Her Royal Highness Thea, the eldest princess of the Dark Moon Lord, he actually let go, let go of a ......
Thea's face remained unchanged, Old Gauss waved his hand lightly, and a fresh breeze appeared, and all those smells were blown out of the door, but the guards at the door were bitter.
"Your name is Kaka?"
Xia's faint voice woke up Kaka, and he hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Highness spares your life, Kaka didn't mean it, just because he ate those lala potatoes, it's really ......"
"I forgive your rudeness, listen to Chen Rui, you can double the yield of Lala potatoes, and they will be ripe in January?"
Kaka explained in horror: "Report to Your Highness, Kaka likes to fiddle with plants since he was a child, and he just planted some lala potatoes to eat by himself, and he definitely didn't plant any rosemary, drunken grass or anything like that to rob and cheat......
Haven't you confessed yet, isn't this three hundred taels of silver here? Chen Rui shook his head, it seems that Xia is really prestigious in the dark moon, and Kaka is usually clever, but now he is speechless.
Xia Ya frowned, Chen Rui hurriedly pulled the goblin up and said, "Kaka, don't be afraid, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is asking about Lalapot." If you can really increase the yield and maturity of the lala potato, the eldest princess will definitely not pursue other things!"
"Really?" With Chen Rui's encouragement, Kaka finally returned to a little normal, and said boldly: "Your Highness, that's the case, Kaka has always liked to eat Lala potatoes, but Lala potatoes are ripe every half a year, and the yield is not high, so I have been improving Shiyan in the past few years." Originally, Kaka could only shorten the ripening period of the potatoes to four months, probably more than ten days ago, by chance, in the area of the blacksmith shop to get a kind of magic dust, accidentally tried only to find that this powder can improve the soil quality, not only let those potatoes mature in advance, but also double the yield, just ...... It's easier to put that ...... when you eat it."
"Magic powder?" "Xia didn't care about the minutiae, and asked directly to the key point, "Do you still have this powder?"
"And a few! not much. Kaka hurriedly untied a small pocket from his waist and respectfully offered it with both hands.
Chen Rui handed the small pocket directly to Xia Ya, Xia opened it and saw that it was indeed some white powder, faintly revealing a dim light, and handed it to Old Gauss.
Old Gauss picked up a handful and looked at it carefully, his hand flashed with several colors of brilliance, as if he was shiyan, and finally shook his head: "These powders don't have special magic fluctuations, I don't know how they are made?"
Kaka hurriedly defended: "Kaka definitely doesn't dare to deceive Your Highness, this powder can indeed increase the yield of Lala potatoes! Moreover, other crops in the soil seem to have grown, it should be a kind of magic dust that has a special effect on soil and plants." ”
Chen Rui knew that Kaka didn't dare to lie, so he took the small pocket from Old Gauss's hand, looked at it a few times, only to feel that these powders seemed to be very familiar, and suddenly came to his senses - the so-called magic dust, could it be ........., "Kaka, look at it, are these the magic dust you said?" Chen Rui felt in his pocket, and actually grabbed a handful of powder from the storage warehouse.
Kaka was stunned for a moment, then took it and looked at it carefully, revealing an excited expression: "That's it! It turns out that these are made by adults!"
Chen Rui, who had been confirmed, finally understood that the powder left over after the conversion of the original aura still had this wonderful effect, but fortunately, a large amount of powder that was converted later was put in the storage warehouse and not thrown away!
In this way, the crop problem that has plagued Dark Moon for many years can really be solved, and the key is still in him, the reborn!
No wonder Kaka said that he found "magic dust" in the area of the blacksmith shop, which should be left over after he used the aura transformation at that time.
"Actually...... These are not made by me, but something after some kind of shiyan by Master Aldas. ”
Chen Rui squeezed his eyes at Xia, Xia suddenly understood, and ordered Kaka to keep the matter of magic dust secret, old Gauss was scheming, and offered to accept Kaka as a follower, let him go back and pack his things now, and move to Old Gauss's residence in the afternoon to accept the assignment.
Kaka didn't expect pie in the sky to get such treatment, so he hurriedly worshiped Lao Gaos as the master, and thanked Xia and Chen Rui, and then left happily. As soon as he walked out of the gate, the lala potato gas that had been held for a long time could no longer be blocked, and he excitedly made an exaggerated sound of explosion.
Chen Rui couldn't hold it back any longer, and laughed out loud, this laughter obviously infected Xia Ya, and couldn't help but move his red lips, and a shallow smile appeared on his cold face, this smile, although he was not happy, showed a style that he had never had.
Chen Rui was stunned, and Xia immediately realized the gaffe, and instantly returned to a cold appearance, which made someone feel a burst of regret in his heart.
The old Gauss on the side flashed a look of shock in his eyes, as the old minister of Prince Green, he grew up watching Xia Ya. Since taking over Darkmoon, the eldest princess has become a complete ice princess, and she has never smiled again, even in the face of her sister Alice.
Now, under the influence of Chen Rui, he couldn't help but smile, what kind of influence does this human being have?
