Chen Rui had read the information and understood the battle between Joseph and Kanita. After thinking for a while, he finally nodded and said, "This is indeed a good opportunity. Kanita should be someone we can use."
"The enemy of the enemy is not necessarily a friend." Jía frowned. "Even if Kanita comes to the Dark Moon, his purpose is to complete the capital's mission to control the Dark Moon."
"Accounts are not calculated like this, Princess Royal." Chen Rui shook his head. "Joseph's economic control of the Dark Moon has reached an almost extreme level. Unless the veteran forces that support Princess Royal like the Saiful Family fall to the Red Spirit, our situation will not get worse. On the contrary, the strength in the Dark Moon is one of the important capitals for Joseph to compete with Kanita. He will never let Kanita take over the forces that he has painstakingly built. Even if Kanita really comes to the Dark Moon, he will inevitably suffer huge resistance, or it will even trigger more counterattacks from Joseph. We can just use this opportunity to secretly weaken and get rid of the Red Spirit's economic control. "
Jía kept nodding as she listened. Old Gauss showed an appreciation, "Princess Royal is right. It's really overkill to let you be the secretary."
"Sir Gauss has overpraised me. In fact, the position of the secretary is already high enough." Chen Rui certainly didn't want to go to the front stage and attract attention. He quickly shook his head and said, "I'm a human after all. I'm satisfied to be able to give some small ideas behind the scenes and help Princess Royal."
"This is not a small idea. Your wisdom and ability are unquestionable." Jía's beautiful purple eyes showed a burning expression. "I don't like to make empty promises, but if there is a chance in the future, I will never treat you badly."
Chen Rui didn't take these words to heart. Times had changed. He had seen too many stories about how the birds died and how the dogs survived. Now, however, his ambition wasn't here, so he didn't care.
Old Gauss changed the topic. Actually, Jía was already prepared for the weakening and getting rid of the Red Spirit's control that Chen Rui mentioned just now. Although about half of the Dark Moon's business was controlled by Joseph, Joseph's half actually included the part controlled by the Mellon Family. The other half was in the hands of the Saiful Family and several veteran families. This part had a deep foundation, and most of them supported Princess Royal. Besides, the Mellon Family was just following the trend. They wanted to rely on the Red Spirit Estate, but they were not truly loyal to Joseph personally.
Currently, the most important issue was food. The Dark Moon was rich in medicinal herbs and ores, but it had always been short of food. Demons' food was generally based on crops, supplemented by meat. Due to the special soil quality of the Dark Moon Estate, it had always been difficult to have a high yield in crops. Even during the most prosperous times, most of the food was purchased from other estates.
Through the efforts of the Saiful Family and several other families in the past few years, they had bred a large number of meat pigs and cattle. The source of meat had been greatly alleviated, but the more important crops still couldn't be improved. They could only rely on the supply and support of the Red Spirit Estate. Chen Rui once heard from Jía that because space equipment was extremely rare, and its capacity was too small, it couldn't hold a large amount of food. Therefore, they could only rely on merchant caravans for transportation. The merchant caravans she sent to the south and west to buy food were all robbed and killed by the so-called 'bandits'. They suffered heavy losses. Therefore, if the food problem could be solved, the Red Spirit's control over the Dark Moon would be greatly weakened.
Food, crops … Chen Rui frowned and said nothing. He had too little knowledge about agriculture. Besides, the Demon Realm's geographical conditions were special. The earth's agricultural knowledge might not be useful …
Suddenly, he thought of the two loud farts in the Cloak Gang just now. His eyes lit up and he suddenly stood up: Lala Potato! Lala Potato that matures once a month and the output doubles!
It seems that I almost ignored an important talent just now!
This action made the eyes of Jía and Old Gauss fall on him at the same time.
When Kaka was taken from the Cloak Gang to the palace council hall by the guards, the poor goblin thought that his attempted robbery with knockout powder was exposed. His green face turned pale in fear. Especially in the face of a legendary big shot like Princess Jía, he was trembling all over and even forgot to salute.
"Kaka," The human secretary that the goblin was familiar with came over, "Tell Princess Royal Highness about the Lala Potato."
"Sir, help!" Kaka seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He said incoherently, "Lala Potato … that, I … I won't dare to fart anymore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a disappointing sound came from behind the dark goblin's buttocks. This time, Chen Rui's face also turned pale. He had experienced the power of this gas before, so he quickly retreated.
The dark goblin almost wanted to cry. His whole body slumped to the ground softly. What did I just do? In the famous palace council hall, facing the Dark Moon's Lord, Princess Royal Jía, I actually fart …
Jía's expression didn't change. Old Gauss gently waved his hand, and a breeze appeared. All the smells were blown out of the door, but the guards at the door suffered.
"Your name is Kaka?"
Jía's faint voice woke Kaka up. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Royal Highness, please spare my life. Kaka didn't mean it. It's just because I ate those Lala Potatoes, it's really …"
"I forgive your rudeness. I heard from Chen Rui that you can double the output of Lala Potato, and it matures once a month?"
Kaka explained in fear, "Reporting to Your Royal Highness, Kaka likes to play with plants since he was a child. I only planted some Lala Potatoes to eat. I definitely didn't plant anything like Rosemary Flower or Enchanted Grass to rob and cheat …"
Not yet? I've already confessed. Isn't this showing that I'm hiding something? Chen Rui shook his head. It seems that Jía is really prestigious in the Dark Moon. Kaka is usually smart, but now he's inarticulate.
Jía frowned. Chen Rui quickly pulled the goblin up and said, "Kaka, don't be afraid. Princess Royal Highness is asking about Lala Potatoes. If you can really increase the output and maturity of Lala Potatoes, Princess Royal will never pursue other matters! "
"Really?" Under Chen Rui's encouragement, Kaka finally recovered a little bit. He mustered up his courage and said, "Your Royal Highness, this is the case. Kaka has always liked to eat Lala Potatoes, but Lala Potatoes matures once every half a year, and the output is not high. So, I've been experimenting to improve it in the past few years. Originally, Kaka could only shorten the maturity of Lala Potatoes to 4 months. About 10 days ago, I accidentally got a magic powder in the blacksmith shop. I accidentally tried it and found that this powder can improve the soil quality. Not only did it make those Lala Potatoes mature in advance, but it also doubled the output. It's just that … it's easier to put that … "
"Magic powder?" Jía didn't care about the trivial details. She directly asked the key point, "Do you still have this powder?"
"I still have some! But not much. "Kaka quickly untied a small bag from his waist and offered it respectfully with both hands.
Chen Rui handed the small bag directly to Jía. Jía opened it and saw that it was indeed some white powder that faintly emitted a dim light. She then 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. In the end, he shook his head, "These powders don't have any special magic waves. I wonder how they are made?"
Kaka hurriedly explained, "Kaka absolutely dare not lie to Your Royal Highness. This powder can really increase the output of Lala Potatoes! Moreover, other crops in the soil seem to have increased. It should be a kind of magic powder that has a special effect on soil and plants. "
Chen Rui knew that Kaka dared not lie. He took the small bag from Old Gauss and looked at it. He felt that the powder seemed familiar, and he suddenly realized — The so-called magic powder, could it be …
"Kaka, take a look. Is this the magic powder you mentioned?" Chen Rui touched his pocket. In fact, he grabbed a handful of powder from the storage warehouse.
Kaka was stunned. He took it and looked at it carefully. He looked excited, "That's it! It turns out that sir made it! "
Chen Rui, who was confirmed, finally understood that the powder left after the aura conversion actually had such a wonderful effect. Fortunately, a large amount of converted powder was placed in the storage warehouse and not thrown away!
In this way, the crop problem that had troubled the Dark Moon for many years could actually be solved, and the key was actually on him, a reincarnated person!
No wonder Kaka said that he found the "magic powder" in the area of the blacksmith shop. It should be the leftover after he used the aura conversion.
"Actually … these weren't made by me, but something that Master Aldas experimented with."
Chen Rui winked at Jía. Jía immediately understood and ordered Kaka to keep the magic powder a secret. Old Gauss was astute and said that he was willing to accept Kaka as a follower. He asked Kaka to go back and pack his things now. In the afternoon, he would move to Old Gauss' residence and accept the assignment.
Kaka didn't expect to get such a treatment. He quickly acknowledged Old Gauss as his master and thanked Jía and Chen Rui before he left happily. Not far from the door, the Lala Potato gas that was held for a long time could no longer be blocked. It made an exaggerated explosion sound excitedly.
Chen Rui couldn't hold it anymore and laughed out loud. This laughter obviously infected Jía. Her red lips couldn't help but move. A shallow smile actually appeared on her cold face. Although this smile wasn't joyful, it showed an unprecedented flirtatious look.
Chen Rui was dumbfounded. Jía immediately realized that she had lost her composure. She instantly returned to her cold appearance, which made someone feel regretful.
Shock flashed in the eyes of Old Gauss on the side. As an old minister of Crown Prince Grimm, he watched Jía grow up. Since taking over the Dark Moon, this Princess Royal had become a complete ice princess. There was no smile on her face, even in front of her sister, Alice.
Now, she actually involuntarily smiled under the influence of Chen Rui. What kind of influence does this human have?
