Chapter 2154 Unexpected News

At this time, an unexpected news suddenly reached the Great Zhou. Under the great joy of the whole country, it did not attract much attention, but it made Master Pang and the cabinet feel upset. The former emperor, Ji Guang and his wife, who were now the emperor, had already run back to the South China Sea, saying that Wangjing was too cold and they were not used to it, so they missed the news.

Lu Ziqing and Lu Zishu were upset when they saw the news and asked the current emperor what he thought.

Ji Chongli was shocked: "I remember Gui Lingsu was a man?"

Lu Ziqing said: "He changed his gender in this life."

Ji Chongli shook his head. Even a dog would shake his head when hearing this.

A unique wedding was held in Xingxiu Sea as if it was scheduled. Now the territory of the Xing Clan was separated from Loulan. After hearing that Loulan was incorporated into the Great Zhou, the Emperor Xingchen announced the establishment of a country in the territory of the Xing Clan, and the country was named Xingxiu Sea.

The current Star Emperor does not have the confidence to provoke his brothers and sisters. It is already good enough if his brothers and sisters do not join forces to beat him up.

And the unexpected news was: Ji Guangli married into the Xingxiu Sea, married the Xingxiu Princess Gui Lingsu, and became the leader of the Xing clan, King Guangli.

The coronation scene was quite awesome, the former emperor was on equal footing with the Star Emperor, the biological mothers of the two newlyweds, Fairy Piaomiao and Madam Yuhua, were not ordinary people either, and the most shocking thing was that the Great Shaman God of the Northern Barbarians, Luo Zu, and the Barbarian King Tian Luohou were present to congratulate!

"In other words, Luo Zu and Tian Luohou received the support of the Star Clan and accelerated the unification of the Northern Barbarians?!" Lu Ziqing interpreted the meaning behind this and was slightly shocked.

Luo Zu and Tian Luohou's presence to congratulate was not intelligence obtained by spies, but rather information made public by the fact that the Star Emperor generously invited the envoys of the Sun and Moon tribes and the Great Zhou. After all, the establishment of a country does not need to be hidden, but should be made known to the world as much as possible. The new Great Witch God and Barbarian King appeared at the wedding of the Star Clan leader. This was not accidental, but a declaration.

They are coming, and the second round of competition between the Northern Barbarians and the Great Zhou is about to begin.

Although Lu Ziqing had known for a long time that the Northern Barbarians would not decline like this, he did not expect that they would achieve unification so quickly.

What was even more surprising was that, judging from the mirage imaging sent by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the retired emperor looked in very good condition. He was as strong as a twenty-year-old, with a ruddy face, white hair and a youthful appearance. His cultivation seemed to be quite high, and behind him was a very powerful Dharma image, his aura was not inferior to that of the Star Emperor in the slightest.

Lu Ziqing wanted to know how he had escaped the fate of dying at the age of seventy. Finally, Lu Ziqing's eyes fell on the object behind the emperor. What on earth was this Dharma image? A fisherman? Jiang Taigong? Why was he holding a fishing rod?
The Great Zhou was not in a hurry to deploy an offensive against the Northern Barbarians, and the national policy was still mainly defensive. It was not that they did not attach importance to it, but the speed of mobilizing troops and the consumption of food and grass on the road had been greatly reduced. When they were really needed, they could be assembled in a very short time. In addition, the army was being upgraded, and the entire Great Wall was preparing for an upgrade. Over the past year, the national strength of the entire Great Zhou has flourished. The roller coaster has completed two main lines running through the north and south, one connecting Jiangnan and the other connecting the northwest. In addition, there are five branch lines connecting the surrounding areas of Julu County, and Wangjing connecting Laizhou Port.

A huge amount of seafood can be transported to all inland areas within three days through roller coasters, which greatly alleviates famine and enriches the tables of the people of Da Zhou. Especially on the Silk Road, there are fishmongers selling live Yellow River carp, as well as boxes of frozen hairtail, yellow croaker, and prawns, which used to be extremely expensive, but now ordinary people can eat them with a little effort.

In addition, Sinong Temple also promoted many new crops that were beyond compare, such as potatoes, corn, Yunhong persimmons, and sunflowers. These high-yield crops from the four Yunzhou states, after a year of trial planting and improvement, are now flourishing everywhere in Da Zhou. Potatoes, in particular, were planted on a large scale in Julu Prefecture, Guanzhong, and the northwest, with extremely high per-acre yields, which ended the famine in Da Zhou in one fell swoop.

It is no wonder that during the period when the crown prince was regent, the people's voices were so loud. Coincidentally, the national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty took off.

Yunhong persimmons and sunflowers were both planted in Julu County. Because they were red persimmons from Yunzhou, they were named Yunhong persimmons by Lu Yanei. Once they entered the restaurant, they quickly became popular all over the world. Yunhong persimmon fried eggs became the favorite of men, women, young and old, and it was also a perfect match with stewed beef.

The road to improving sunflowers was relatively long. At the beginning, the sunflowers planted were improved by Lu Ziqing using his magic power, and the genes were not stable enough. The seeds of the sunflowers native to Yunzhou were just flower seeds, which were very small and mostly empty. But our Lu Yanei had to use his magic power to improve it into a thief-sized face plate, and the sunflower seeds it produced were also large and plump.

Lu Ziqing had been planting sunflowers at Hongmeng Academy with his fellow disciples from the Xiannong School for fourteen generations. Each generation was ripened steadily by his fellow disciples from the Xiaoyun School using wood spiritual energy, with an iteration every half a month. It took more than half a year to obtain relatively stable sunflowers that could be planted by farmers.

Since the economic value of sunflowers is still unknown, they are still being planted on a large scale in the suburbs of Julu County and the northern part of Wangjing. Its advantages are that it has many seeds and does not occupy good farmland. It can be planted in any place with good sunshine, even in the fields.

But the smart people of Julu have now formed a habit. They will do their best to get anything promoted by Lu Yanei, just like the fire dragon pepper back then. Who would have known that the fire dragon pepper, which was originally like poison, has now become the most valuable spice in the Great Zhou?

Lu Ziqing didn't dare to tell everyone that in addition to pressing oil, sunflowers can also be used to fry seeds, otherwise it is likely that after trying a handful of them... all the seeds with stable genes would be gone. So now people grow it as an oil crop.

In addition, all the barracks were "secretly" planting various plants, and the soldiers were clearing wasteland everywhere when they had nothing to do. The large-scale planting was not a secret, but the secret was that these plants were actually strategic reserves.

In short, the first year of Zhenghe passed very smoothly. This year was relatively short, and after the new year, the second year of Zhenghe came. The whole Zhou Dynasty had a great harvest, and people were shocked to find that they had been deceived by Lu Yanei before -! Completely deceived -!
Sunflower seeds can not only be used to extract oil, but they can also be eaten!

The market value of roasted melon seeds is much higher than that of raw melon seeds for oil extraction! It's like an addiction to eating them, and I can't stop!
In particular, the time when roasted melon seeds are on the market in large quantities is just before the Spring Festival. Various spiced roasted melon seeds and caramelized melon seeds occupy the New Year's goods market. Sorry, the people of Julu have made a fortune again.
