Hearing the words of Xu Jinrou, the princess of Jin, to send 100,000 guinea fowl to the Western Barbarians, Li An was at a loss, and he asked very puzzledly: "Princess, forgive your subordinates for being stupid, why is this?" ”

Xu Jinrou replied, "I don't know who came to Cuipingshan to buy guinea fowl, how many chickens does he want to buy, and how much money can he pay for each chicken?" ”

Li An bowed down and replied: "Back to the princess, the person who came to buy guinea fowl is a dealer who specializes in selling chickens, ducks and poultry in my Dachu, he wants to buy 50,000 guinea fowl, and each guinea fowl can be given two coins of silver, saying that he will come again in the future, until the chickens in the chicken farm are sold out, and his subordinates calculate that all the guinea fowl on Cuiping Mountain can get nearly 200,000 taels of silver after they are sold, which is a five-fold return." ”

Xu Jinrou smiled, "Two hundred thousand taels..., that's still too little." ”

"Ah..."Li An was stunned, "Raising chickens can get five times the income, and it is unheard of for subordinates to live for so long, can there be more?" ”

Xu Jinrou's expression was indifferent, "Not only will there be more, but there will still be a lot more, have you ever asked the vendor what he wants to do when he collects so many chickens?" ”

Li An replied respectfully, "Back to the princess, according to the trader, now that the price of grain has risen, chicken can be used as food, and according to the current situation, it will not be a problem to sell out these million chickens." Hmm..., did the princess estimate that the price of this grain would rise, and the price of chickens would also rise, so she asked her subordinates not to sell it first, but why did she send so many chickens to Ximan? ”

Xu Jinrou's face was solemn, "The price of guinea fowl will naturally rise, but it is not edible, because this guinea fowl can prey on locusts, and these guinea fowls in our Cuipingshan Chicken Farm can block this locust plague today." ”

"Ah..., our chickens have been able to solve this locust plague?" Ang Lee was a little incredulous.

Xu Jinrou nodded affirmatively, "That's true." ”

"Is the princess so sure? It is said that the plague of locusts in the west covers the sky and the sun, and the place where it passes is thousands of miles away. Ang Lee still couldn't believe it.

Xu Jinrou's expression was unusually serious, "This palace can be sure." ”

In the last life, the locust plague was raging, and the Western barbarians racked their brains to think of many means and strategies in addition to the conventional methods of exterminating locusts

In order to mobilize the whole people to resist the locust plague and catch locusts, the Western Barbarian Emperor Yuwen Zongheng promulgated the "Edict on Locust Hunting".

The decree stipulates that in areas where locusts are infested, the prefectural ordinance must be carried out and the locusts must be collected in the fields themselves.

At the same time, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people of the Western Barbarians to catch locusts, the laws and regulations clearly stipulate that the people can use the locusts they have excavated and the locusts they have caught to exchange them directly for money and grain.

If the crops in the field are damaged by digging locusts or catching locusts, they can also apply for tax exemption, and the captured locusts can still be exchanged for food.

To this end, the government has also introduced various ways to eat locusts, frying, cooking, grilling, boiling, and all kinds of things.

Unexpectedly, when the locust plague occurred, the locusts gathered in large quantities to eat each other's feces, and the body became toxic, and the people who had eaten the locusts were collectively poisoned.

At this time, some people noticed that the chickens were okay after eating poisonous locusts, and the guinea fowl was very good at catching locusts, and a large number of guinea fowl could probably resist the locust plague

The Western Barbarian Kingdom then began to concentrate all the guinea fowl in Xiban and Dachu, and in the end, although there were less than 10,000 guinea fowl, it was quite effective, but it was too late to know.

In the last life, because of the locust plague, Da Chu finally starved to death, and Xu Jinrou almost starved to death.

Thinking of this, Xu Jinrou looked at Li An with burning eyes, "Now that the guinea fowl is given to the Xiban for free, it is to let the Xiban people know as soon as possible that the guinea fowl can fight against the locust plague, and at that time, a guinea fowl will only be sold for two dollars of silver?" ”

Li An's expression was a little excited, "If it is really as the princess said, it is possible for a guinea fowl to sell for one or two pieces of silver, then..., then, that is really rich." ”

Xu Jinrou bowed slightly, "Maybe a guinea fowl can be sold for two taels of silver, but how can we get it if we don't give it up first?" 100,000 chickens for free so that you can get more in the future. ”

Li An bowed to the ground, "My subordinates have been taught!" ”

The Great Chu Prison State Liu Ren Tu is now worried about the locust plague, if the grain harvest in various parts of the Xiban is wiped out because of the locust plague, it will be the Great Chu who will really suffer.

Because the grain trade of Dachu is now basically controlled by the Western barbarians, because of the locust plague, the Western barbarians will inevitably buy the grain of Dachu.

At that time, the soaring grain prices in Dachu will be unstoppable, and if the locust plague in all parts of Dachu is also rampant, there will inevitably be starving people everywhere, and the situation in Dachu, which has finally stabilized, will inevitably recur the contradictions between the people of Dachu and the Western barbarians, and he will inevitably be overwhelmed by the prison country.

At this time, a servant came to report, and the guest secretary Xu Jinrou asked to see Liu Jianguo.

Liu Rentu has not returned to the back garden to rest for seven or eight days because of the locust plague, Jiang Yunhan came to ask a few times, but Xu Jinrou did not move at all.

Unexpectedly, today the princess of Jin officially came to see him as a guest, and she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

The flower hall is also one of the living rooms of the prison house, the front of the hall is the courtyard, the flowers and trees in the courtyard are remarkable, the pavilions and water pavilions, the rockery and stone peaks, the environment is elegant, and it has the interest of the garden.

The flower hall is connected with Liu Rentu's study in the front garden, and he often stays in the study when he is busy with official business.

Liu Rentu sat in the flower hall with a tired expression, and when he saw Xu Jinrou coming in, he pointed to the chair next to him, "Xu Keqing is a rare guest, please sit down." ”

Xu Jinrou sat down with a dignified expression, "I heard that the prison country is busy with official business these days, and he didn't even go back to Tingyuxuan, and Feiyun Pavilion didn't go, but it was really hard." ”

Liu Rentu put the tea cup in front of Xu Jinrou and poured it for her, "I don't have Cangwu silver quills here, let alone silver silk ice buds, only this ordinary chrysanthemum tea, which lowers the liver fire, slows down the heart, and asks Xu Keqing not to dislike it." ”

Xu Jinrou picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, "Although the tea that Jian Guo said is good, there are too many mysteries in the tea, and after drinking it, the future can be uncertain, or the most common on weekdays, the tea that can reduce the fire and comfort is more suitable for me." ”

Liu Ren Tu's eyes were as bright as knives, staring at Xu Jinrou, "I've been very bored these days, and I really want to talk to you, but you are gone, did you fall in love with a general of the Western Barbarian Country, and you forgot about me Liu Ren Tu?" ”

Xu Jinrou glanced at Liu Rentu, "I'm a pregnant widow, who can look down on me, but there are charming beauties hidden in the water pavilion in the back garden of the prison mansion, if I don't know how to disturb often, wouldn't it be annoying?" ”

Liu Rentu sighed lightly, "It's true that there are beauties, they may talk about some things, but there are no doubts." ”

The corners of Xu Jinrou's mouth rose, "In this way, does the prison really miss me?" ”

Liu Rentu's eyes burned, "Of course I really want to!" ”

Xu Jinrou's eyes flashed with tenderness, "I know what the prison country is worried about, now the Western Barbarian Locust Plague is raging, and the land is thousands of miles away, but after all, the background is profound, and it is not enough to shake the fundamentals." But Da Chu is different, and he is bound to suffer a catastrophe because of this locust plague, and the stable situation that has been hard for several years in the prison country is likely to come to naught. ”

Liu Rentu bowed slightly, "Keqing still understands me, but the current situation is not something that can be resisted by manpower, but it can only be helpless." ”

Xu Jinrou raised the teacup and drank it all, "Since manpower is irresistible, then don't use manpower to resist." ”

Liu Rentu's eyes lit up, "Doesn't Keqing have a way?" ”

Xu Jinrou's fingers tapped on the table, "Pour tea for this guest, and wait for me to speak slowly." ”

Liu Rentu was overjoyed, poured the teacup full with a pot, and held it in front of Xu Jinrou with both hands, "Please drink tea to Xu Keqing." ”

Xu Jinrou smiled and took the teacup with both hands, "There is a labor prison country." ”

Seeing Liu Rentu staring at her with shining eyes, Xu Jinrou put down the teacup, "Do you remember the 60,000 taels of silver I borrowed from you?" ”

"Naturally, I remember, you said that it was used to raise chickens, but you have already given me an iron mine, so it is not only 60,000 taels of silver, but you have already returned it to me several times,..., but you are short of silver again? How much you need, I'll send you. ”

"My chickens keep out the locust plague." Xu Jinrou whispered.

"Ah", Liu Rentu's eyes widened, "What are you going to say?" ”

"The chickens I borrowed money to raise are guinea fowl, which can fly, hunt well, eat locusts, and ward off locust plagues." Xu Jinrou repeated it and said it in more detail.

"You... Maybe it's a sure thing? Liu Rentu's tone was full of joy.

"I'll send 100,000 guinea fowl to Xiban first, and I'll know if I try it."

Liu Rentu stood up, "How can you let Xu Keqing give it away for nothing, if it can really stop the locust plague, the prison government will buy these 100,000 chickens at twice the market price." ”

Xu Jinrou raised her eyebrows lightly, "I don't want the money from the prison government, I just need the prison country to send troops to protect the chicken farm, so as not to know that guinea fowl can resist locust plagues, and there will be unscrupulous people who have the idea of beating other guinea fowl." ”

"You... Is the chicken farm more than just 100,000 chickens? Liu Rentu looked puzzled.

"I borrowed 60,000 taels of silver from you, how can I only raise 100,000 chickens?" Xu Jinrou stared at the man in front of her.

"Oh, and that... How much? ”

"There are a million guinea fowl in the farm." Xu Jinrou straightened her plump chest.

"Ah, how much do you raise?" Liu Rentu's expression was a little excited, he picked up the teacup and drank it dry, "If this chicken is really as Keqing said, then the locust plague can really be solved." ”

Xu Jinrou smiled, "It must be solved." ”

Liu Rentu stared at the woman in front of him, who often brought surprises, and suddenly stepped forward to hold her head with both hands, lowered his head and kissed it hard, and the lips of the two people were tightly pressed together.

Xu Jinrou's face turned red, and she pushed him away with both hands, "You are like this in the blue sky and white day, are you ashamed!" ”

The man hugged the woman with both hands and strode towards the study, "I don't care, I want it now, I don't want to wait for a moment." ”

The door of the study slammed shut behind the two of them, and his lips pressed up again, and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around his hot body.
