It was a very beautiful morning in the sunny area of Zhiwacheze in the south of Vecchia, the sun was shining on the earth, like a layer of gilded edges, the early winter air was dry and cold and sweet, the sweet potato fields gathered outside the window, the green stems and leaves coiled with each other seemed to grow several inches overnight, and the gurgling water under the stone bridge outside the castle shimmered with joy in the rising sun.

Berlante Bonnie gently pushed a food cart into the room, on which were placed several plates of diced and cooked golden food, as soon as pushed in, the room was filled with a tempting aroma, the sun shone on Berlante Bonnie's long golden curly hair, like a waterfall of light flowing down, slender figure, wearing a straight and close-fitting uniform, outlining a heroic beauty

That's the breakfast you ordered!"

Berlante Bonnie's food truck stopped, smiled sweetly at the fat man who was looking at her, smiled and came to the fat man's side, took the fat man's arm and said, "But before you go under the knife, you have to tell me! What is this?

"It's not a secret, it's just {{● potato roots!"

The fat man looked at her coquettish and toned body, imagined that Berlant Bonnie took off her clothes and was ashamed to be petted, and smiled, "But the hope of the empire, with it, the crisis of the empire mentioned in your report should be effectively solved!"

"Is it so amazing?" Blante Bonnie glanced at the inconspicuous food on the dining car in surprise, with a look of disbelief on her face, she had just quietly tasted a piece, the taste was very unique, a bit like the taste of baked cream and taro mixed together, if you want to say that it is delicious, it will be said in the past, but if it can solve the food problem this winter, it will be a little too incredible,

As the head of the Imperial Secretariat, she stayed in the three northern counties throughout the autumn and was responsible for the logistics of the army for the cold regions of the north and the Battle of Dorok, and she was well aware of the empire's current huge food problem.

It was not only the land of the northern steppes that was harvested, but also millions of Kugit refugees, and then within a year, the powerful enemies Ruierdian and Ryde were destroyed one after another, and the population burden of the empire increased by another 5 million.

These are 5.6 million mouths that have just come out of war and are in urgent need of appeasement, and even the Falcon Empire, which has a grain-producing region in the southwest, is a little unbearable in the face of refugees almost equal to the total population of the country.

Not to mention that in order to expedition to the cold regions of the north and Dorok, more than 100,000 troops were ready to go, and Berlante Bonnie sat in the three northern counties to do his best, using all the power of the commercial alliance, and almost even the grain in the warehouse was unloaded.

The war is over, and the continent is once again united under the battle banner of the Falcon Empire, but the food problem left behind, not because of the end of the war, but with the population of Dorok also incorporated into the empire, the problem has become more and more serious.

Winter is coming, and in a northerly region like the Ikadivar continent, tens of thousands of people starve to death or freeze to death due to lack of food every winter, and this year's problem is even more severe, the 300,000 tribes who have migrated south from the east and the Kurgit northern grasslands that are in urgent need of food are waiting to be fed, and the southern mountains of Kugit that have just been pacified and have not yet been completely stabilized.

What lies ahead of the empire is not a splendid prospect, but a mess devastated by war and in urgent need of solving various problems.

Although the merchant trade has solved the imbalance of goods in some areas in some way, the total amount of food will not change, and Anne Berrant has asked the secretariat in charge of logistics to calculate that if the gap in this grain is to be filled, at least 10 million tons of grain will be needed, which accounts for almost half of the annual output of the entire Falcon Empire, and winter is approaching, the food problem is becoming more and more concave, if it cannot be solved, for the newly established empire, a catastrophe is imminent

"Where's Mao Mona Qing?" The fat man took advantage of Berlant Bonnie's stunned moment, walked to the dining car like a dexterous cat, picked up a toothpick with potato wedges in his tiptoe, and sent the steaming potatoes with a long-lost aroma into his mouth. The fat man sighed silently in his heart, for the food shortage caused by the continuous conquest, he had already made arrangements, on the one hand, to let people collect the black wheat that grew in the northern grasslands, and on the other hand, to order the planting of crops called potatoes in some areas in the south of the country that had just suffered from drought, which was one of the things he was extremely concerned about.

From the beginning of obtaining the potato seeds, he immediately asked the Ministry of Supervision to closely investigate the growth habits of this crop, and then carried out a large-scale planting experiment in the mountainous area, which proved that the growing conditions of potatoes are extremely simple, although the growth temperature requirements are low, but this is not a problem at all for the Ikadiva continent, which is already close to the north.

According to the report submitted by the Ministry of Supervision, almost as long as there is soil, and it is cold and drought resistant, and the growth cycle is compared with wheat and other crops that are often a year, it only takes 90 days to become a ripe area of potatoes, which is obviously more able to fill the food problem in areas like the birch that has just experienced the war in the short term, in August, the fat man has ordered the business alliance to join the content of the potato trade, and also gave the Statunko in Saland, an order to plant a large area in the south of Salander, which has a relatively mild climate.

If time permits, at the end of November in winter, the first batch of potatoes will be transported inland from the southern Salander, which should be able to temporarily solve the problem of winter food shortage, but now the fat man has a headache, how to expand the potato planting area and make more people believe in this food, the most effective way is to take the lead in eating potatoes,

"Still resting in bed, who told you to be so cruel last night!" said Berlante Bonnie with a white glance and a strange tone, "A pregnant woman is very affectionate. ”

The fat man smiled bitterly and said, "Who told the two of you to beat me one by one, I am the opponent." Berlante Bonnie glanced at the fat man and said, "The two love you one, and I don't see you feeling it very much, leaving the two of them in the three northern counties for four months, is it the same thing" "The kind of place in the cold land of the north is frozen for thousands of miles, and the snow is drifting for thousands of miles, dripping into ice, and it was an expedition at that time, and it may face an embarrassing situation at any time, which is really not suitable for pregnant women to accompany it!" The fat man said with a wry smile at the corner of his mouth [● And the army is in front, the family always needs someone to trust, one of you two is in charge of internal affairs, and the other is in charge of military affairs, without the two of you, how can I feel at ease!]

"But I'm also very gratified that with the joint efforts of the two of you, the three northern counties have exceeded 700,000 in just 4 months and have become the economic and cultural center of the northern part of the empire, and the prosperity is even better than the 500,000 people in the heyday of Rui Erdian!

"If that's the case, then what reward should you give!" Blant Bonnie winked playfully, and just when the fat man was dazzled by it, Blant Bonnie, whose face was slightly red, whispered in the fat man's ear, "If you can, Bonnie also wants a child?" "Ahem......" The fat man was frightened by this sentence and hurriedly coughed embarrassedly, "Hee-hee, I'm kidding you! Don't think I don't know what you think, and I think cheaply and I don't want to be responsible, isn't it always a common problem for you men?" Blant Bonnie's face smugly made a beautiful voice like a silver bell, turned around, and with an elegant and aristocratic attitude, she sorted out the text on the desk, and said casually, "But I heard that you seem to have met a Doroc woman in Dorok, and she was almost in danger, but don't say I didn't remind you, Dorok women are beautiful and world-famous, but they are even more famous for their ruthlessness and decisiveness, and the most famous women in the history of the mainland are almost all Dorok women!" Giving true love to a Doroc woman is the stupidest thing in the world" "Is there such a thing?"

The fat man pretended to be stupid, in fact, he knew very well that Marshal Berlant didn't turn his face with Dorok Cloud because of a Dorok woman, and finally led Dorok Yun's most successful infiltration of Rui Erdian to failure, [●Under the cruel counterattack of Erdian, one of the three heads of the house chose to hide Aaron, and the other fled to Vekia to establish a new assassin,

And Rui Erdian, the dark nobles who held the power of the kingdom at that time, known as the three carriages, also fell apart, every time the fat man asked about it, one of the parties at that time, Prais always avoided talking about it, history is like a cloud of smoke and no longer able to know the truth, but Berrant Bonnie, as the only daughter of Marshal Berant, is afraid that her life experience is not so simple, at least Marshal Berrant, who the fat man knows, has never married in his life after that incident

The fat man wanted to say to Berrant Bonnie, who hated the Dorok people, "I doubt it, you are a woman of Dorok blood", but under Berant Bonnie's blade-like gaze, the fat man held back very interestingly,

At this time, the voice of the guard sounded outside the room, "Your Majesty, Lord Dustrunkai, the Minister of the Navy, has an urgent matter to see!"

"Dustrenke?" the fat man stood up from his seat in some surprise and shouted out the door, "Let him in!"

Soon, Dustrunkai, dressed in a dark blue naval uniform, hurriedly walked in from outside the door, "Your Majesty, something is wrong in the Southern Sea, the Normans have abandoned the island chain, and now it is the range of other kingdoms!"

"So what?" said the fat man without raising his eyes, with a calm face

"Your Majesty, those island chains no longer belong to the Normans, and now other kingdoms are occupying them!" Dustrunkai sweated on his forehead, thinking that His Majesty the Falcon had not heard clearly, and continued to repeat, "If we follow the original plan, it is likely that war will break out with other kingdoms!"

"I know, and I know this very well" - Zi stared at him indifferently, and said in a slow tone, "As an imperial navy, I should have the consciousness of starting a war with the enemy at any time, I don't care who is there, I just want the island chain, I think my meaning is very clear!"

"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Dustrenkai nodded hurriedly
