Chen Rui had read the information and understood the struggle between Joseph and Carnita. After thinking for a while, he finally nodded and said, "This is indeed a good opportunity. Carnita should be someone we can use."
"An enemy's enemy may not be a friend," Xia said with a frown, "Even if Carnita came to Dark Moon, the purpose is to complete the imperial capital's task of controlling Dark Moon."
"That's not how the account is calculated, Eldest Princess," Chen Rui shook his head, "Joseph's economic control over Dark Moon has reached an almost extreme level, unless the old forces that support the Eldest Princess, such as the Saifo family, fall to Chiyou, otherwise Our situation will not get worse. On the contrary, the strength in the dark moon is one of the important capitals for Joseph and Kanita to contend with, and he will never let Kanita take over the forces he has painstakingly managed, even if If Carnita really comes to Dark Moon, he will inevitably encounter huge resistance, or it may trigger more counterattacks from Joseph. We just take advantage of this opportunity to secretly weaken and get rid of Chiyou's economic control."
Xi Ya kept nodding her head, and old Gauss showed admiration: "The eldest princess is right, it's really overkill for you to be the scribe."
"Mr. Gao Si, the position of the secretary is already high enough." Of course, Chen Rui didn't want to step up to the stage to attract attention, so he shook his head quickly: "After all, I am a human being, and I can come up with some ideas behind my back to help the eldest princess." It’s satisfying to be busy.”
"This is not a small idea. There is no doubt about your wisdom and ability." Xi Ya's beautiful purple eyes showed a burning look, "I don't like making empty promises, but if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Chen Rui didn't take this kind of words to heart, this moment, that moment. He has read a lot of stories about the end of the bird and the death of the dog. Now, but his ambition is not here, so he doesn't care.
Old Gauss turned to the main topic. What Chen Rui just said about weakening and getting rid of Chiyou's control, in fact, Xi Ya had already prepared. Although about half of Dark Moon'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 Saifo family and several old-fashioned families. This part of the forces has a deep foundation, and most of them support the eldest princess. Moreover, the Mellon family is just following the wind and trying to cling to the big tree of Chiyou, and they are not really loyal to Joseph personally.
One of the most critical issues at present is food. Dark Moon is rich in medicinal materials and ores, but has been short of food. The food of the demons is generally dominated by crops, supplemented by meat. Due to the special soil quality of the Dark Moon Territory, it has been difficult to produce high crops. Even in the most prosperous time of the year, most of the food was purchased from other territories.
Through the hard work of the Saifo family and several other families in the past few years, they have raised a large number of leather pigs and flat-bone cattle, and the source of meat has been greatly relieved. However, the more important crops still cannot be improved, and they can only rely on the resources of the Chiyou Territory. supply and support. Chen Rui once heard Xi Ya say that because the space equipment is extremely rare and the capacity is too small to store a large amount of grain, she can only rely on caravans for transportation. The grain caravans she sent to the south and west were all rejected The so-called "thieves group" robbed and killed, and suffered heavy losses. So if the food problem can be solved, Chi You's control over Dark Moon will be greatly weakened.
Food, crops... Chen Rui frowned and said nothing, he had too little agricultural knowledge, and the geographical conditions of the Demon Realm were special, so the earth's agricultural knowledge might not be useful...
Suddenly, he thought of the two loud farts at the cloak meeting just now, his eyes lit up, and he stood up suddenly: Lala Potato! Once ripe in January, the output of Lala potatoes is doubled!
It seems that an important talent was almost overlooked just now!
This action made Xi Ya and old Gauss' eyes fall on him.
When Kaka was brought by the guards from the cloak meeting to the palace chamber, the poor goblin thought that it was revealed that he had tried to rob with drugs, and his green face turned pale with fright. Especially when facing a legendary figure like Princess Xia, he trembled all over, and even forgot to salute.
"Kaka," the human scribe who is familiar with goblins came over, "tell the princess about the Lala Potato."
"Help, my lord!" Kaka seemed to be grasping at a straw, and said incoherently, "Lala Potato...well, I...I don't dare to fart anymore!"
As soon as the words were finished, a disappointing sound came out from behind the dark goblin's buttocks, and now Chen Rui's face turned pale. He must have experienced the power of this kind of gas, so he quickly backed away.
The dark goblin almost wanted to cry, his whole body limply collapsed on the ground, what did he do just now? In the famous meeting hall of the royal palace, in the face of His Royal Highness, Princess Xia, the lord of the Dark Moon, he actually let go, let go of a...
Shia's face remained unchanged, and old Gauss waved his hand lightly, and a gust of wind appeared, and all the smells were blown outside the door, but the guards at the door suffered.
"Your name is Kaka?"
Kaka woke up from Xi Ya's faint voice, and quickly kowtowed on the ground: "Your Highness, forgive me, Kaka didn't do it on purpose, it's just because I ate those lala potatoes, it's really..."
"I pardon your rudeness. I heard from Chen Rui that you can double the production of lala potatoes and ripen them once a month?"
Kaka explained tremblingly: "His Royal Highness, Kaka likes to play with plants since she was a child, but she just planted some lala potatoes to eat by herself, and absolutely never planted rosemary, ecstasy and other things to rob and cheat. …”
not yet? I have confessed myself, isn't this place without three hundred taels of silver? Chen Rui shook his head, it seems that Xi Ya really has great prestige in Dark Moon, and Kaka is usually clever, but now he can hardly speak clearly.
Xi Ya frowned, and Chen Rui quickly pulled the goblin up and said, "Kaka, don't be afraid, Your Royal Highness is asking about Lala Potatoes. If you can really improve the production and maturity of Lala Potatoes, Eldest Princess I will never pursue other things!"
"Really?" With Chen Rui's encouragement, Kaka finally returned to normal, and said boldly, "Your Highness, it's like this, Kaka has always liked to eat lala potatoes, but lala potatoes take half a year to eat." and the yield is not high, so I have been experimenting with improvements in the past few years. Originally, Kaka could only shorten the maturity period of Lala potatoes to four months. About ten days ago, I accidentally got a potato in the blacksmith shop. Planting magic dust, I accidentally discovered that this powder can improve the soil quality, not only make those lala potatoes mature in advance, but also double the production, but... it is easier to put that... "
"Magic powder?" Shea didn't care about the details, and asked the key point directly, "Do you still have this powder?"
"There are still some! But not much." Kaka quickly untied a small pocket from her waist, and offered it with both hands respectfully.
Chen Rui handed the small pocket directly to Xi Ya, Xi Ya opened it and saw that it was indeed some white powder with a faint light, and handed it to Old Gauss.
Old Gauss picked up a pinch and looked at it carefully. There were several colors of brilliance in his hands, as if he was experimenting, and finally shook his head: "These powders do not have special magic fluctuations. I don't know how they are made? "
Kaka hurriedly defended: "Kaka absolutely dare not lie to His 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 soil and plants have Magic dust with special effects."
Knowing that Kaka dared not lie, Chen Rui took the small bag from old Gauss, looked at it for a few times, and felt that the powder seemed familiar, and suddenly came to his senses—the so-called magic dust, could it be...
"Kaka, look, are these the magic dust you mentioned?" Chen Rui felt in his pocket, and actually grabbed a handful of powder from the storage warehouse.
Kaka was stunned, took it over and took a closer look, showing excitement: "That's it! It turns out that these are made by adults!"
Having been confirmed, Chen Rui finally understood that the remaining powder after the aura conversion actually had such a wonderful effect. Fortunately, a large amount of powder after the conversion was placed in the storage warehouse without throwing it away!
From this point of view, the crop problem that has plagued Dark Moon for many years can really be solved, and the key lies in him, the reborn person!
No wonder Kaka said that he found "magic dust" in the blacksmith shop area, which should be left after he used aura conversion at that time.
"Actually... these are not made by me, but something after some kind of experiment by Master Ardas."
Chen Rui winked at Xi Ya, Xi Ya understood immediately, and ordered Kaka to keep the matter of the magic dust a secret. Old Gauss was scheming and offered to accept Kaka as a follower, let him go back to pack his things now, and move to the old man in the afternoon Gauss' residence, accept the assignment.
Kaka didn't expect that the pie in the sky would be able to receive such treatment, so he quickly made old Gao Si his master, thanked Xi Ya and Chen Rui, and then left happily. Not far from the gate, the Lala Potato gas that had been suffocated for a long time could no longer be blocked, and it made an exaggerated sound of bursting excitedly.
Chen Rui couldn't hold back any longer, and let out a "puchi" laugh. The laughter obviously infected Xi Ya, and he couldn't help but move his red lips, and there was a shallow smile on that cold face. A smile, although not happy, but showing a style that has never been seen before.
Chen Rui stared blankly, and Xi Ya immediately realized that she had lost her composure, and instantly returned to her cold appearance, which made someone feel regretful.
A look of shock flashed across Old Gauss's eyes. As an old minister of Prince Green, he watched Xi Ya grow up. Since taking over Dark Moon, the Eldest Princess has become a complete ice princess, never smiling again, even when facing her younger sister Alice.
Now, under the influence of Chen Rui, he couldn't help but smile. What kind of influence does this human being have
