Xu Jinrou knew that the queen kept her in the palace so that she, a pregnant woman, would starve with others in the palace, so as to force her to find a way to get food for the palace.

Xu Jinrou didn't care, first, she brought food when she entered the palace, and second, she just wanted to let the queen know that she had to rely on her when it was critical, so that her actions in the palace would be more convenient.

The food brought into Ziyunxuan was about to be eaten, Xu Jinrou went to see the queen and asked to leave the palace, saying that the food she begged Liu Rentu to allocate a few days ago should have arrived now, and she wanted to go and see how the situation was?

The queen's somewhat anxious and haggard face showed joy, and asked her to go out of the palace as soon as possible to check, and it was best to return to the palace with the grain.

After leaving the palace, Xu Jinrou went to the prison country's mansion, but Liu Rentu was not in the house, just when she was about to leave, the housekeeper Luo Wuwei hurried over, saying that the prison country had left a message, if Xu Keqing visited, please go to the flower hall to wait.

There is no one in the flower hall at this time, sitting bored, Xu Jinrou walked into the courtyard in front of the hall, the willows in the courtyard are still around, the rockery stands, the birds and birds are chirping between the branches and leaves, a large piece of roses is planted at the courtyard wall, the breeze blows, and the fragrance is faint.

Xu Jinrou stood in front of the flowers, quietly a little distracted, as if she was thinking about everything, and she didn't seem to be thinking about anything.

Suddenly, her shoulders were gently wrapped around a pair of big hands, and without looking back, she knew that it was him.

Liu Rentu's thick voice sounded in her ears, and her warm breath made her feel slightly itchy, "Jinrou, I've kept you waiting." ”

It was the first time in his life that he called her like this, not Princess Jin or Xu Keqing but called her Jinrou, she was in a trance at this moment, this man's kindness to her came from the bottom of his heart.

But the memories of the previous life came flooding in an instant, and the woman he loved the most in his heart was not her Xu Jinrou.

She felt a pain in her heart, and quickly closed her eyes to calm her mood, and after a moment, she turned her head to look at him, and there was already a smile on her face.

"Liu Jianguo is busy with official business, and even busier with private affairs, I am a pregnant widow, so I should wait."

Liu Rentu stretched out his fingers and gently hooked her jaw, "You, since you are pregnant, not only your actions have changed, but your speech has also changed. ”

Xu Jinrou patted her lower abdomen gently, "Because I'm not alone now, some things are naturally different from before." ”

Liu Rentu frowned and sighed lightly, "Hey, is it because of this unexpected obstacle?" He'll leave your hard days behind. ”

Xu Jinrou raised her pretty face, "I am willing to eat this bitterness!" ”

He gently took her hand, "Okay, whatever you want, but if this evil obstacle is disobedient in the future and causes trouble for Lao Tzu, I will strangle him with my own hands." ”

Xu Jinrou's eyes widened, "You, dare?" …”

Liu Rentu was slightly stunned, and then chuckled, "I don't dare, lest you use your teeth, it really hurts." ”

A touch of red rose up her cheek and smacked him hard.

The two returned to the flower hall and sat down, the tea table was placed on the table, and the heat was like a cloud, and Liu Rentu poured the tea cup full and pushed it in front of her.

"Yesterday, the Xiban Dasi Nong has played the Holy Lord, the locusts have crossed, where there are 100,000 guinea fowl, most of the crops have been saved, if there are 500,000 chickens, they should be able to resist the locust plague."

"Ahh Xu Jinrou was overjoyed and couldn't help but stand up.

Liu Rentu smiled and nodded, "Dasi Nong said that as long as the number of guinea fowl is large enough, it can really fight against the locust plague, there is no doubt about it. Xu Jinrou, you have saved the people of the two countries, and it can even be said that you have saved the lives of the world. ”

Xu Jinrou sat down again, her expression straightened, "I don't think so much now, these chickens were raised for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and 100,000 were given away, and I don't know if the rest can make money." ”

Liu Rentu picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, "Now that all parts of Xiban are buying guinea fowl, do you know how much the price of this chicken has risen?" ”

Xu Jinrou's beautiful eyes blinked, and her long eyelashes couldn't help flickering, "How much has it risen?" ”

Liu Rentu had an inscrutable smile on his face, "Guess? ”

Xu Jinrou tilted her head and thought for a while, "Hmm..., five coins of silver?" ”

"Guess again!" Liu Rentu shook his head.

"Can you sell it for a tael of silver?" Xu Jinrou's expression was a little excited.

"Guess again!" Liu Rentu still shook his head.

"One or two..., more than one or two? I don't guess, tell me quickly, people who are pregnant can't be in a hurry. Xu Jinrou pursed her lips.

Liu Rentu smiled and stretched out two fingers, "Two taels, a guinea fowl can be sold for two taels of silver, and there is no market, because whether it is Ximan or Dachu, there are too few guinea fowls, and it is said that only 20,000 chickens can be received at such a high price." ”

Xu Jinrou covered her slightly open red lips with her hand, "Ah, in this way, those guinea fowl I raised are worth nearly two million taels of silver!" ”

Liu Rentu first smiled, and then his face suddenly became serious, and his dark eyes seemed to be deep pools, "Jinrou, how did you come up with the idea of raising so many guinea fowl?" Investing so much money to raise only this kind of chicken, you are not impulsive. ”

Xu Jinrou's expression also became solemn, "Well..., what about this Keqing, if you can pinch and calculate, you have long calculated that there will be a locust plague in the Western Barbarians." ”

Liu Rentu's eyes were cold, "Really? ”

Xu Jinrou suddenly sneered, "You're a ghost!" If I had this ability, would I still be able to marry Song Heng as a widow? Can you wait for you to bully me? ”

Liu Rentu's expression eased, "In this way, it's luck, so it's good, otherwise someone will make a big fuss." ”

Xu Jinrou smiled like a flower, "Yes, can I still create a locust plague with demon magic?" It's just that sometimes luck can't stop it! ”

Liu Rentu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, this prison country has already played the Holy Lord, saying that 100,000 guinea fowl were given to Xiban by the princess of Dachu Jin, and there are still hundreds of thousands of guinea fowl in your chicken farm, which should be able to stop this locust plague." ”

Xu Jinrou frowned, "Your Xiban Emperor won't make a will, let me give away all the guinea fowl for free." ”

Liu Rentu smiled, "How come! I, the Western barbarians, are the most reasonable, and the most rule-abiding, the saint said that the princess of the Great Chu and Jin has already sent so many chickens, if you go to ask for it again, if there is a danger in the future, how can the people do their best? The Holy Lord issued an edict yesterday and promulgated the locust hunting law, which was implemented by the relevant officials and yamen. ”

Xu Jinrou, the "locust hunting law" of the Western Barbarians, knew it, because it was also promulgated in the previous life.

The Xiban Emperor Yuwen Zongheng adopted the suggestion of the Xiban Dasi Nong, who was in charge of agriculture, and promulgated a very detailed "Locust Hunting Law", which stipulated that the local government should bear the main responsibility for the control of locusts, and required all localities to establish a system for reporting locust plagues.

For the management of locust plagues, all states are required to adopt the state history responsibility system, and if a locust plague occurs, it must be reported to the higher authorities in a timely manner.

The history of the state thorn can be reported directly to the emperor, and when the locust plague is serious, it needs to be played several times a day.

Officials who did not personally pursue the locust plague, shirked their responsibilities, and failed to conduct inspections were demoted at least or dismissed from their posts for investigation and prosecution.

After the promulgation of this decree, the responsibility for controlling the locust plague was no longer borne by the agricultural department alone, but on the shoulders of the heads of the prefectures and counties, so that the problem could be prevented before it occurred.

In this way, now that we know that guinea fowl can fight the locust plague, it will inevitably lead to a scene of guinea fowl from all over the Xiban rushing to buy guinea fowl.

Xu Jinrou's eyes flashed with stars, and she expected that the Cuipingshan Chicken Farm would soon be broken by the procurement personnel sent by the Xiban Prefectures.

She looked at Liu Rentu, "Now my chicken farm is worth a lot of money, and it is also the key to controlling this locust plague, and I also ask Liu Jianguo to send heavy troops to guard it, otherwise there will be an accident, I won't be able to make money, the locust plague is raging, and the lives are ruined, but it is an unforgivable sin." ”

Liu Rentu raised the teacup and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "This prison country has dispatched a hundred government soldiers to Cuiping Mountain, and ordered them to patrol day and night to guard them strictly, unless there is an army to rob it, you can ensure that your guinea fowl is safe." ”

Xu Jinrou smiled and raised the teacup, "In this way, this guest has thanked Liu Jianguo with tea instead of wine." ”

Liu Rentu put down the teacup, "How can I thank you like this?" I'm heartbroken that your guinea fowl can earn a lot of money. ”

Xu Jinrou stared at him, "How do you want to thank the prison country?" ”

The willow man's eyes were full of lust, "Of course, I need Xu Keqing to thank him, you see the green willows here are leisurely, the flowers are like brocade, if there is a boundless spring, wouldn't it be beautiful, ,... it's fast."

"Phew, the dignified Chu prison country, always thinking about prostitution during the day, and he is not ashamed." Xu Jinrou took a sip lightly, got up and walked outside the flower hall.

"Xu Keqing, don't be in a hurry to leave, I don't want to change the day to the evening..., hey, let me accompany you and the child to eat before leaving..."

Xu Jinrou didn't look back, "No, you can eat it yourself, I'm going to send food to the palace, some people are dying of hunger..."

Back at Xu's mansion, Xu Jinrou instructed Xu Zhong to hire five carriages and pull 500 quintals of rice, 500 quintals of wheat flour, and nearly 10,000 catties of grain from Xu's mansion to the palace.

The Xu Mansion hoarded a total of 3,000 quintals of grain, sent 1,000 quintals to the Cuiping Mountain Chicken Farm, and now sent 1,000 quintals to the palace, and there are still 1,000 quintals left in the mansion, even if there is an accident, it is enough to deal with.

When the grain was unloaded outside the palace gate, Xu Jinrou let the carriage go back, so as not to be asked where the grain came from and cause trouble.

When the eunuchs in the palace were happily carrying grain to the palace, Xu Jinrou entered the Tianshou Palace to meet the queen.

The report said that Liu Jianguo allocated 10,000 catties of rice and noodles, recorded in the account of the three divisions of the yamen, and slowly returned it in the future.

After this incident, all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were grateful to Princess Jin.

However, there were still some accidents, and the Cuipingshan Chicken Farm did not wait for the swarm of procurement personnel from all over Ximan.

It's just that a person came to ask to see Princess Jin, and this person is Huo Jinsheng, the shopkeeper of the Ximan Money Village in the Great Chu Kingdom.

Shopkeeper Huo brought news that the people of the four major families of Ximan, the Huo family, the Xiao family, the Feng family, and the Tang family have arrived in Dachu, and they are going to visit Princess Jin together.
