"Father, you must let the people in the south grow potatoes and sweet potatoes!"

Chu Yaoyao frowned and gave serious instructions.

[These natural disasters in the novel are all for the heroine to stand out and accumulate reputation. I remember that the heroine found underground water sources in the most severe drought area and dug a well, and was instantly praised by people all over the world.]

Emperor Qixuan and his two sons clenched their fists.

【Where is the water source? 】

Chu Yaoyao frowned, and her face was wrinkled into folds.

[It seems to be in... a mountain area in Lancheng...]

After hearing this, several people secretly took note of it.

Having just heard some bad news, Emperor Qixuan just wanted to make arrangements quickly.

"I still have government affairs to attend to, so I will return to the Imperial Study first. You three brothers should follow me."

After saying this, he hurriedly left the Qionghua Palace with his three brothers.

Chu Yaoyao looked at the poker on the carpet and pursed her lips.

How can we play if one is missing two?

[Forget it, let’s play the video game for a while! ]

Over at the Qionghua Palace, Chu Yaoyao was holding a game console in her hand. The small table in front of her was filled with melon seeds, jerky, and sparkling water. She looked so comfortable.

However, in the imperial study, there was no such relaxed atmosphere.

Emperor Qixuan paced back and forth in annoyance.

"What do you think about what happened just now?"

The Crown Prince spoke first, "Father, don't worry too much. Now that Yaoyao has given us an early warning, we have plenty of time to prepare."

"I think the most important thing is to build reservoirs in various places and store water in advance."

Emperor Qixuan nodded slightly. "That's right. Give the order to those workshops to start working immediately and try to produce more cement!"

Afterwards, the father and his two sons discussed for nearly two hours how to deal with the drought and locust plague.

After talking about the countermeasures, Emperor Qixuan thought of another thing.

"That's right."

"Three days later, the Xiyue Kingdom will send envoys to Daqi to pay homage. The Jinyu, Beilan, and three other kingdoms will also send people to Daqi."

"The reception of envoys from other countries will be handled by the Crown Prince."

Then he glanced at Chu You and Chu Yao beside him.

"Both of you brothers should help out."

At the end, Emperor Qixuan warned: "Remember, although we will face natural disasters in the future, we must show the magnanimity and style of our great country and not let outsiders see anything wrong."

The three brothers bowed their hands and said, "Your sons obey your orders."

After they left, imperial edicts were brought out from the imperial study and secretly delivered to the residences of certain ministers.

Late at night in the capital city, intensive actions were taken everywhere.

Chu Yaoyao didn't know all this. She was chatting with her trading partners at the moment, no, doing business.

"You mean, you have a hydrogel that can convert one milliliter into ten liters of water?"

On the other side, Leah nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, yes. This is the lowest concentration of hydrocondensate. With the highest concentration of hydrocondensate, one milliliter can be converted into one ton of water."

Chu Yaoyao opened her mouth in disbelief.

“How amazing!”

【With this thing, why worry about drought? 】

“Can you sell me some?”

Leah nodded, "Of course!"

Then he lowered his head slightly apologetically.

"However, I cannot buy high-concentration hydrogel with my status, but I will definitely buy you some more medium-concentration ones."

The water converted from high-concentration hydrocondensate contains special substances that can help delay mental exhaustion and is only distributed to those who have made contributions to the empire.

"It's okay..." This is already very good.

"I'll come, I can buy it!"

A white-haired but energetic old man rushed in.

Chu Yaoyao looked and thought that the old man's physical fitness was probably better than that of his father the emperor.

He leaned over to the panel, "Hello cub, I'm Leah's grandfather, Linori."

Chu Yaoyao nodded blankly, "Hello, Grandpa."

"Why!"

This cute little face and soft baby voice instantly touched Linori's heart.

"I just heard that you want high-concentration hydrogel, cub?"

Leah, who was standing next to her, looked as if she had seen a ghost and was so frightened that she couldn't help shivering.

Grandpa can be so kind sometimes? Chu Yaoyao nodded, "Yes."

The next moment she quickly shook her head and waved her hands.

“It doesn’t have to be a high concentration, as long as it works.”

"How can that be possible!"

Linoli was so anxious that his face turned red and he slammed the table.

There was a "click" sound, followed by a series of ping-pong sounds.

Leah's desk collapsed!

Chu Yaoyao was startled by the noise.

"Grandpa, please hold back a little!"

Liya wanted to cry but had no tears. All the strawberries he had hidden in the drawer were squashed! Seeing the cub trembling with fear, Linori hurriedly comforted him.

"I mean, how can ordinary hydrogel be good enough for the cub? It has to be highly concentrated!"

“Buy it in my name!”

He had just turned on the computer when he paused and spoke in a negotiating tone.

“Is ten milliliters enough?”

There was only a 20 ml quota per year, and he had already used half of it.

Linoli felt extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should have gone to old man Lan Lin to get some water to drink.

Chu Yaoyao also learned from the system how precious high-concentration hydrocondensate was, and quickly shook her head to refuse.

"No, I just need water. I don't need such precious water. I just need more low-concentration water."

Linori waved his hands and didn't care.

"It doesn't matter. The effect of this water is not as good as the strawberry you picked up."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yaoyao very considerately put out a few kinds of fruits and "sold" them to Leah at the price of ten points.

"These are my gifts to you."

Linoli's old but bright eyes were fixed on Leah.

From the time he placed the order to the time he took it out, he counted it several times out of concern to make sure that it had not been embezzled. Only then did he put it into his own space button with a smile.

He made the promise while gnawing on the apple.

"Don't worry, little girl. I'll take care of the hydrogel!"

Chu Yaoyao smiled sweetly and nodded heavily, "Thank you, Grandpa Linoli!"

"Okay, okay."

Seeing her well-behaved and lovely appearance, Linori became happier and happier.

He had always regretted that no girl had been born in his family for more than 200 years.

Although this is related to the decline in fertility in the interstellar era, but! Old man Lan Lin's family had a girl born in the past two years, why didn't his family have one? ! "Grandpa Linori?"

Chu Yaoyao stretched out her little hand and waved.

【What happened? 】

"Grandpa, the cub is talking to you."

Leah leaned in closer and whispered a warning.

"ah?"

Linori came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"

Chu Yaoyao whispered, "I just want to ask, do you have any insecticide?"

Hearing this, Leah scratched her head, "Insecticide? Do you have insects there?"

As he spoke, he clicked on the Zerg picture on the computer.

Looking at the monster above, which was taller than a human and had huge mouthparts and sharp claws, Chu Yaoyao quickly shook her head.

"Not this kind. It's very small."

She stretched out her fingers and made a rough gesture.

Leah nodded, "We have developed a potion that can repel low-level Zerg. You can try it."

"Very good!"

Chu Yaoyao was very excited.

Solve two big problems at once, happy!
