Chen Rui had seen the information and understood the fight 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 take advantage of."
"The enemy of the enemy may not be a friend," Shia frowned and said, "Even if Kanita comes to Dark Moon instead, the purpose is to complete the Imperial Capital's mission of controlling Dark Moon."
"That's not how the accounts are settled, eldest princess," Chen Rui shook his head, "Joseph's economic control over Dark Moon has now reached an almost extreme level. Unless the established forces that support the eldest princess, such as the Seifer family, turn to Chiyou, otherwise
Our situation will not get worse. On the contrary, Joseph's strength in the Dark Moon is one of the important assets for him to compete with Carnita. He will never let Carnita take over the power he has worked so hard to manage, even if
If Carnita really comes to the Dark Moon, it 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."
Shia kept nodding her head as she listened, and Old Gauss showed admiration: "The eldest princess is right, you are really overqualified to serve as the recordkeeper."
"Master Gauss, thank you. In fact, the position of recordkeeper is high enough." Of course Chen Rui didn't want to come to the front and attract attention, so he quickly shook his head and said: "After all, I am a human being. I can make some small ideas behind the scenes to help the eldest princess.
I am very satisfied if I am busy.”
"This is no small idea. There is no doubt about your wisdom and ability," Shia's beautiful purple eyes revealed a burning look. "I don't like making empty promises, but if I have the opportunity in the future, I will never treat you badly."
Chen Rui didn't take this kind of words to heart. He had seen many stories of birds disappearing and bows hiding, rabbits dying and dogs prospering. But now, his ambition is not here, so he doesn't care.
Old Goss turned to the topic. What Chen Rui just said about weakening and getting rid of Chiyou's control was actually prepared by Shia. Although Dark Moon's business is controlled by Joseph, Joseph controls half of it, but this half of Joseph's
In fact, it includes the part controlled by the Mellon family, and the remaining half is in the hands of the Sever family and several old families. This part of the power has a deep foundation, and most of them support the eldest princess, and the Mellon family just takes advantage of the situation.
Rudder just wants to be attached to the big tree of Chiyou, and is not really loyal to Joseph personally.
The most critical issue at present is food. The Dark Moon is rich in medicinal materials and ores, but there has always been a shortage of food. The food of the demons is generally based on crops, supplemented by meat. Due to the special soil quality of the Dark Moon territory, it has been difficult to achieve high yields in crops.
Even during the most prosperous times, most of the food was purchased from other territories.
Through the efforts of the Seifer family and several other families in the past few years, they have raised a large number of skinned pigs and plate-bone cattle. The source of meat has been greatly alleviated, but the more important crops are still unable to be improved, and they can only rely on the food from the Chiyou territory.
Supply and support. Chen Rui once heard Shia say that because space equipment is extremely rare and its capacity is too small to hold a large amount of food, it can only rely on caravan transportation. The food buyers she dispatched to the south and west
Team, were all robbed and killed by the so-called 'thieves group', and suffered heavy losses. Therefore, if the food problem can be solved, Chiyou'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 agricultural knowledge of the earth may not be of use...
Suddenly, he thought of the two farts at the cloak party just now, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up: Lala potatoes! Lala potatoes that ripen once a month and double the output!
It seems that an important ability was almost overlooked just now!
This action made Shia and Old Gauss' eyes both fall on him.
When Kaka was brought to the palace meeting hall by the guards from the Cloak Club, the poor goblin thought that his attempted robbery with drugs had been exposed, and his green face turned pale with fright. Especially when facing the legendary Princess Shia
When he came to visit the important person, he was trembling all over and even forgot to salute.
"Kaka," the human record-keeper familiar to the goblins came over, "please tell Her Royal Highness the eldest princess about the lala potato."
"Sir, help!" Kaka seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said incoherently: "Lara potato... um, I... I don't dare to fart anymore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an unsatisfactory sound came out from the back of the dark goblin's buttocks. Chen Rui's face also turned pale. He must have experienced the power of this kind of gas, and he quickly retreated.
The dark goblin almost wanted to cry, and his whole body collapsed limply on the ground. What did he just do? In the famous palace meeting hall, facing His Highness the Dark Moon Lord Princess Shia, he actually let go...
Shia's expression remained unchanged. Old Gauss waved his hand gently, and a breeze appeared. All the smells were blown out of the door, only causing pain to the guard at the door.
"Your name is Kaka?"
Shia's faint voice made Kaka wake up and he quickly kowtowed on the ground: "Your Highness, spare your life. Kaka didn't mean it. It was just because he ate those radish potatoes. It's really..."
"I forgive your rudeness. I heard from Chen Rui that you can double the yield of Lala potatoes and have them ripen once a month?"
Kaka explained with trembling fear: "I am reporting to Your Highness that Kaka has liked playing with plants since he was a child. He only planted some radish potatoes to eat for himself. He definitely did not plant anything like rosemary or eucalyptus for robbing or defrauding."
…”
Not yet? You have already confessed. Isn’t it true that there are three hundred taels of silver in this place? Chen Rui shook his head. It seems that Xia is indeed very prestigious in Dark Moon. Kaka is usually smart, but now he can’t speak clearly.
Shia frowned, and Chen Rui quickly pulled the goblin up and said: "Kaka, don't be afraid, Her Royal Highness the Princess is asking about the potato. If you can really increase the yield and maturity of the potato, Princess
I will never pursue other matters!"
"Really?" With Chen Rui's encouragement, Kaka finally returned to some normality and bravely said: "Your Highness, it's like this. Kaka has always liked to eat Lala potatoes, but Lala potatoes have to be eaten every six months.
ripe, and the yield is not high, so they 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, he accidentally got one near the blacksmith shop.
Planting magic dust, I accidentally tried it and discovered that this powder can improve the soil quality, not only making those potatoes mature in advance, but also doubling the yield, but... it is easier to eat it..."
"Magic powder?" Shia didn't care about the minutiae and asked directly to the key point, "Do you still have this kind of powder?"
"There are some more! But not much." Kaka quickly took off a small bag from his waist and offered it with both hands respectfully.
Chen Rui handed the small pocket directly to Shia. Shia opened it and saw that it was indeed some white powder with a dim light, and handed it to Old Gauss.
Old Gauss picked up a handful and looked at it carefully. Several colors of brilliance glowed in his hands, as if he was experimenting. Finally he shook his head: "These powders have special magic fluctuations. I don't know how they are made?"
"
Kaka hurriedly defended: "Kaka would never dare to deceive His Highness. This powder can indeed increase the yield of Lala potatoes! Moreover, other crops in the soil seem to have also grown. It should be a kind of plant that has a certain influence on the soil and plants.
Magic dust with special effects.”
Chen Rui knew that Kaka did not dare to lie, so he took the small bag from old Gauss and took a few glances. He felt that the powder seemed familiar, and he suddenly realized that the so-called magic dust was...
"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, then took it and looked at it carefully, showing excitement: "That's it! It turns out these were made by adults!"
After receiving the confirmation, Chen Rui finally understood that the remaining powder after the spiritual energy conversion actually had this wonderful effect. Fortunately, the large amount of powder converted later was conveniently placed in the storage warehouse and was not thrown away!
From this point of view, the crop problem that has troubled Dark Moon for many years can actually be solved, and the key lies in him, the reborn person!
No wonder Kaka said he found the "magic dust" near the blacksmith shop. It should be what was left after he used spiritual energy to convert it.
"Actually... these were not made by me, but something that Master Aldas experimented with."
Chen Rui winked at Shia, who immediately understood and ordered Kaka to keep the magic dust secret. Old Gauss was scheming and offered to accept Kaka as a follower, asking him to go back and pack his things now, and move in in the afternoon.
Gauss's residence, accepting assignment.
Kaka didn't expect that he would be treated like a pie in the sky, so he quickly asked Old Gauss to be his master, thanked Xia and Chen Rui, and then left happily. Not far from the door, La La, who had been holding back for a long time,
The gas could no longer be blocked, and it excitedly made exaggerated sounds of continuous explosions.
Chen Rui couldn't hold it in any longer, and laughed out loud. This laughter obviously infected Shia. She couldn't help but move her red lips, and a faint smile appeared on her cold face.
A smile, although not heart-warming, showed a charm that he had never seen before.
Chen Rui was stunned for a moment, and Xia immediately realized that she had lost her composure and instantly returned to her cold demeanor, which made someone feel regretful.
Old Gauss on the side had a look of shock in his eyes. As an old minister of Prince Green, he had watched Shia grow up. Since taking over Dark Moon, the eldest princess has become a complete ice princess, with a look on her face.
He never smiled again, even when facing his sister Alice.
Now, under the influence of Chen Rui, he smiled involuntarily. What kind of influence does this human being have?
ps: I was so busy that I almost forgot that tonight is Christmas Eve. I wish all my friends health, safety and happiness!
