You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

Du Qingwan did not hesitate any longer, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, she smiled complacently, and said slowly:

“Your Majesty, the treasury of Daye is now empty, which is probably related to the fact that the people’s harvest has been halved.

I heard that recently there have been many insect monsters in the waters of Daye. They specifically killed the fish that the common people raised, causing a total loss of harvest for the whole year. "

Du Qingwan said this, raised her eyes and smiled slightly, as if waiting for Zhu Yunhao's confirmation.

Seeing Zhu Yunhao nodded slightly, she took it as a tacit agreement and continued to speak calmly:

“As a result, locust plagues, insect plagues, and floods all directly constitute the main factors for the depletion of the national treasury.

The common people could not even get enough food to eat and had no extra money to develop business.

As a result, the taxes collected by the government are relatively low, which is why the palaces are starving today. "

It is undeniable that what Du Qingwan said was true.

But these are things that everyone knows.

She didn't mention how to solve it at all.

Upon hearing this, Du Zhirou couldn't help but sneer and said:

"How ignorant! Sister, what you just said is probably known to even a three-year-old child. What's the solution?"

"You're not thinking that after all this deception, the emperor will believe you and won't care about your deception, right?"

Du Zhirou's words were extremely sharp, without a trace of politeness, and her eyes were as sharp as torches, as if she wanted to eat Du Qingwan alive.

Du Qingwan had long expected Du Zhirou to sabotage her, and immediately couldn't help but sneer, and asked disdainfully:

"Sister, you are so anxious. Have you come up with some clever idea?"

"you?!"

"Hey, Concubine Rou, please listen to what the Queen has to say first!"

Du Zhirou was so angry that she pointed at Du Qingwan and was about to start a fight.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunhao stopped her in time and made her shut up.

Du Qingwan glared at Du Zhirou complacently and continued to speak calmly:

"Your Majesty, I have a way to cure the insect monster, which can ensure that the fishermen and the people have a good harvest throughout the year."

Having said this, Du Qingwan was full of confidence and pretended to stop.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunhao and Eunuch Liu couldn't help but feel delighted and started asking questions immediately.

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Eunuch Liu was the first to ask, looking very interested, and his subconscious understanding of Du Qingwan was also refreshed.

“Your Majesty, the way to deal with the insect monster is to eat it.

Zhaoer, present it!"

What shocked everyone present was that Du Qingwan said something shocking and even called in Zhao'er who was waiting outside the hall.

In just a moment, Zhao'er brought a plate of braised crayfish and gently placed it on the table.

"Your Majesty, this is the water monster in Daye Lake. After I stir-fried it, it is absolutely delicious. Would you like to try it?"

Du Qingwan picked up the chopsticks, quickly picked up a crayfish and handed it to Zhu Yunhao, her face full of smiles.

The moment he saw the crayfish, Zhu Yunhao was instantly frightened and got goose bumps all over his body. Queen Cang took two steps back, his face as pale as death.

"This... this is a bug monster, how can we eat it?"

Zhu Yunhao pointed at the fat crayfish with trembling hands, his brows full of fear.

Du Zhirou, who was standing by, found it extremely funny and sneered with a look of disdain:

"Sister, I think you have run out of tricks, right?

You actually came up with such a dirty trick, are you trying to erase your guilt?"

"Your Majesty, I also think this water monster is too scary. Can't I eat it?"

As soon as Du Zhirou finished speaking, Eunuch Liu quickly followed suit.

In his opinion, this water monster had a strange shape and looked like it would eat dead people.

Zhu Yunhao is a king, how can he be eaten so easily?

However, ignoring the two people's doubts, Du Qingwan sneered, skillfully peeled off the shell of the crayfish, and quickly put the tender shrimp meat into her mouth and chewed it.

She looked like she was enjoying it very much, which shocked the three men so much that they were dumbfounded and speechless.

"Queen, this water monster... is it really so delicious?"

Zhu Yunhao swallowed hard a few times and pointed at the crayfish on the plate, half believing and half doubting.

Seeing this, Du Qingwan couldn't help but grin and giggle:

"Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you can try it. We call this insect crayfish, and it can be steamed, braised, or even cooked in a hot pot."

"This is spicy crayfish. If you don't like it, I can also make you garlic crayfish or boiled crayfish. They are both delicious!"

Du Qingwan finished her words with a smile, then peeled a crayfish for Zhu Yunhao, handed it to him, and waited happily.

Zhu Yunhao's mouth was watering as he listened to what Du Qingwan said. He couldn't help but put the crayfish into his mouth and ate it tentatively.

It would have been fine if he hadn't tried it. After tasting the first delicious bite, Zhu Yunhao couldn't stop eating. He ate one after another with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"It's so delicious! I have lived for most of my life, and I have never eaten such a delicious water monster.

Eunuch Liu, Concubine Rou, please don't just stand there, hurry up and try it, this crayfish is really delicious."

Zhu Yunhao smacked his lips while eating the crayfish and asked Eunuch Liu and Du Zhirou to try some as well. He looked very pleased.

Hearing this, Eunuch Liu beside him also became curious. He picked up a crayfish and imitated Du Qingwan's way of peeling the shell. He quickly put the delicious crayfish into his mouth.

After eating a crayfish, Eunuch Liu still looked unsatisfied and ate another one.

"Well, I didn't expect that this water monster is really as delicious as the Queen said. It's delicious, really delicious."

Eunuch Liu ate and praised the food with a smile, and looked at Du Qingwan with admiration.

"It sounds so amazing, let me try it too!"

Du Zhirou didn't believe that this water monster was so delicious. Unable to suppress her strong curiosity, she picked up a crayfish and started eating it.

[I don’t believe this water monster is really so delicious! The Emperor and Eunuch Liu must be biased towards Du Qingwan and deliberately said it was delicious!]

[Uh… Is this really the monster in the lake? Why is it so delicious? The more I eat, the more I get addicted?]

"How is it? Concubine Rou, I didn't lie to you, did I? Is this water monster made by the Queen better than the one made by the Imperial Kitchen?"

Seeing that Du Zhirou didn't say anything, Zhu Yunhao knew at a glance that she also fell in love with this taste, so he quickly asked with a smile.

Du Zhirou put down her chopsticks in anger and said sullenly:

"Even if my sister solves the problem of the water monster and the fishermen and the people have a harvest, this alone is not enough to fill the national treasury!"

"Sister, are you really imagining things? Do you really think you can fool the emperor like this?"

Du Zhirou glared at Du Qingwan fiercely with a bad tone.

When Du Qingwan saw that the three of them were praising her craftsmanship, she knew that she had the final say and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Of course, this is not the only plan I have. I can also make refined salt and refined sugar.

The skills I possess are far beyond your imagination."

The three heard that Du Qingwan not only possessed the technology to make refined sugar and refined salt, but also possessed many technologies to enrich the country that they had not expected.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, all looking confused and at a loss.

"Haha! Sister, are you too naive?

I'm afraid even the Ministry of Industry doesn't have the technology to produce refined salt and refined sugar? Is your technology just talk?"

Even if Du Zhirou was beaten to death, she would not believe what Du Qingwan said and burst into laughter instantly.

However, the next second, what Du Qingwan took out really shocked the three of them, and they even called the Minister of Works Wang Jingyun.
