Volume 42 Chapter 1 Taixia Catastrophe (1)

Ninghe County is the largest county in Yanzhou. The reason why Ninghe County is called Ninghe County is because there is Ninghe River running through Ninghe County. The rolling Ninghe River flows through Yanzhou. Like a tumbling, two huge gyrations of thousands of kilometers came on the vast land of Yanzhou, like the uncanny workmanship, and like the unrestrained ink paintings of the painter, making the rushing Ning River meander, and finally rushing to the east... …

The wind is soft and intentional, and the water is affectionate. The huge gyration of the Ninghe River brought friendship, surrounded and irrigated thousands of miles of fertile fields, and at the same time created the prosperity of the entire Ninghe County.

Ninghe County is known as the granary of Yanzhou, and the entire Ninghe County is famous for its grain production. The reputation of Ninghe's grain not only resounds throughout Youzhou and the Northeast Governor's Mansion, but also among the many famous grain producing areas in Taixia Among them, some of the best grains produced in Ninghe County are purchased by officials from the Shaofu of Xuanyuan Hill every year as royal tribute for the emperor's imperial city and palace of Xuanyuan Hill. The dignitaries enjoy it.

The friendship of Ninghe water, the food produced by the black soil like oil, also created Ninghe Daqu, one of Taixia's top ten famous wines.

Ninghe Daqu is brewed with winter wheat from Ninghe County. The winter wheat in Ninghe County is sown in late September every year, and it will begin to mature at the end of May next year. It is the harvest time every year, and the entire land of Ninghe County is endless. The heavy golden golden color, with the return of the earth, also brings hope to countless people.

In the past, every year in late May when the winter wheat in Ninghe County began to harvest, a large number of airships and airships would come from Ninghe County. The people who came in airships and airships naturally did not come to participate in the harvest, but to see the scenery of.

Sitting on an airship or an airship, watching the earth under your feet seem to be covered with a layer of golden carpet in a radius of thousands of miles. When the breeze blows, the golden carpet surges like sea water. It is a magnificent sight and can be called a scene. .

At this moment, there are several flying boats floating above a wheat field in the main grain producing area of ​​Ninghe County, but different from previous years, those flying boats are not for viewing the beautiful scenery. Standing on the ground, looking from a distance, I saw a group of figures in green, red, purple and blue clothes. Hundreds of people gathered at the edge of a golden wheat field.

The blue, red, purple and blue clothes are the official uniforms of officials of different ranks in Taixia. At this time, the entire Governor's Mansion, Yanzhou Governor's Mansion and Ninghe County officials gathered here. So many heavyweight officials gathered together. In the past, such a scene was probably only seen on the special day when the governor gave a banquet in the governor's mansion. The governor likes banquets, especially good wine, so he often holds banquets. Drink, but today, in the fields of Ninghe County, the officials who are rarely seen at ordinary times have gathered together.

There was a gentle breeze blowing from the field, bringing with it a hint of summer heat at noon, but in the place where these officials gathered, the atmosphere was as frozen as ice. Many officials, especially those from Ninghe County, had ashen faces and legs like Sifting the bran, the cold sweat on the sideburns and back directly wetted the bright-colored official uniform and stuck it to the body.

No one dared to speak out, even the governor of Yanzhou stood beside the field ridge with his fists tightly clenched, his face as cold as iron.

Lord Superintendent is exactly like an old farmer at this time, squatting on the edge of a wheat field, he stretched out his palm, broke off a handful of ears of wheat, and then squeezed them with both hands, all the ear skins of the ears of wheat in his palm were rubbed away by him , Among the fringe skins that were rubbed open, there was nothing but a single piece of wheat, Master Du Zai clapped his palms, and the piece of wheat bran on his hand floated away without any weight in the breeze in the field.

Try a few more times, it's the same.

All ears of wheat are empty, without a grain of wheat in them.

Looking at the fluffy fringe that floated away in Master Duzai's hand,

Some of the surrounding officials felt that what was rubbed away by Lord Governor's palm was their own body, and what floated away was their own soul.

Boom, a grey-haired official in an eight-rank official uniform couldn't bear such a stimulus. Standing in the ranks of officials, he blushed, closed his eyes, and fainted on the ridge of the wheat field.

On weekdays, officials would have come to help and take care of her, but at this moment, all the officials dare not show their anger, and no one dares to even move.

At this time, fainting, fainting is nothing, the governor is so angry, I don't know how many officials want to move their heads and sink into hell.

Lord Duzai stood up, his already dark face became even darker now, not only black, but also ice, everyone saw the monstrous murderous aura in Duzai's frowning.

Lord Superintendent took a deep breath, looked at the officials around him, and said calmly, "Where is Liu Yuntao, Governor of Ninghe County?"

"Subordinates are here!" Hearing Lord Duzai's call, among the officials, an honest-looking official in his sixties trembled, then walked out of the crowd and bowed to Lord Duzai.

"Is this the case for all the wheat in Ninghe County now?"

"It's all... all the same..." The sheriff of Ninghe County trembled.

"How much is the loss this time?"

"Ninghe County planted a total of 167.85 million mu of wheat this year. Because the land in Ninghe County is fertile and irrigated by the Ninghe River, the yield of wheat fields in the county is very high, with an average of 920 kilograms per mu. If the loss is calculated, the summer harvest this year , The loss of wheat in Ninghe County is more than 154 billion kilograms..." Although the governor of Ninghe County was nervous, when it came to these data, he opened his mouth without any effort.

Ninghe County is a large agricultural county. The county governor himself was born as an agricultural teacher. He became an agricultural official from an agricultural teacher. Finally, he was appreciated by Zhu Tong, the governor of Yanzhou, and promoted him to be the governor of Ninghe County. Naturally familiar.

"More than 154 billion kilograms, if you save a little bit, it can feed 400 million people for a year..." Lord Duzai sighed, turned his eyes around the trembling Ninghe County Sheriff, and calmed down a bit, "You He was born as an agricultural teacher, and he is very proficient in field affairs. In your opinion, is the harvest of Ninghe County's autumn grain and next year's summer grain harvest safe?"

Hearing this question from Mr. Duzai, the sheriff of Ninghe County turned pale, and looked up at the officials at the prefecture level and Duzai's mansion standing around him, his tongue was a little tied, "I...I do not know……?"

Lord Duzai's eyes that had just eased up suddenly became sharper, "As the governor of Ninghe County, you don't even know this, so what's the use of you?"

The sheriff of Ninghe County had a bitter expression on his face, "This...this is really beyond the control of my subordinates..."

"Why?"

"Subordinates dare not say..."

"But it's okay to say!"

The governor of Ninghe gritted his teeth, and raised his head at once, "Since the superintendent asked his subordinates to speak, then the subordinates will just say it. This year, Ninghe County's field strength, farming time, weather, farming, water conservancy, disease prevention and pest control There is nothing wrong with it. For example, in previous years, there was definitely a bumper harvest, but this year the winter wheat harvest in the entire county was completely wiped out, and the loss was so heavy that it is unique. It is by no means ordinary plant diseases and insect pests that can cause such problems at the same time, let alone There is only one reason for the influence of the weather and the earth, that is, all the wheat planted in Ninghe County has been demonized, and only the demonized plant seeds can cause such a complete harvest effect!"

Everyone listened quietly, including Lord Du Zai. Having said this, the sheriff of Ninghe County was completely desperate, his face turned red, and his voice couldn't help but become louder.

"The seeds of winter wheat planted in Ninghe County do not come from a single family. Many of the crops are kept by the farmers themselves. Under such circumstances, everyone can still plant the demonized seeds in the ground without knowing it, that is It is said that the fields in Ninghe County may have been polluted by the demonized provenance decades ago. Only through the continuous pollution and spread of generations in these years will it result in today's situation where no farmer has slipped through the net. Due to the current situation, the entire Ninghe County no longer has an inch of pure land. If this is the case, then not only will Ninghe County not be able to harvest this year's summer grain, but it is very likely that there will be no other grains grown on the land in Ninghe County in the future. !"

The governor's face was as black as ink, "Could it be okay to replace the non-demonized grain?"

"My lord, the governor, the pollution of the demonized seed source is at the genetic level. Like the field in front of me, if the next field is planted with demonized seeds, even if the other field is planted with good seeds. Pollination, farm tools used by crops, means of transportation, and even the same irrigation water source, the same soil, will cause gene drift and pollution, and spread the demonized genes of the demonized plant seeds to the next generation of those good seeds, so that the next generation The wheat seeds of one generation are unknowingly demonized, and the wheat seeds of the next generation are sown again, which will cause more pollution. In addition to the mutual pollution between plants, those demonized grains will be destroyed after people or livestock eat them. , there will be some genetic pollution sources also left in the farmyard manure, and through the fertilizer, the field will be polluted again, so that a good field can no longer grow good crops!" The governor of Ninghe County smiled bitterly. According to the current situation, if such demonic pollution has continued unknowingly for decades, then the 167.85 million mu of land in Ninghe County, which is currently unharvested, is very likely to be polluted along with the soil and fields. No matter who comes, it is difficult to guarantee the harvest, which is why the subordinates say they don't know the autumn grain and next year's harvest in Ninghe County!"

"Then is there a way to remove the source of pollution in the soil?"

"If it is in the laboratory, in order to ensure that the magic plants in the laboratory will not cause genetic drift and pollution, all materials in the laboratory must be inactivated before being taken out of the laboratory. The chemical plants will be burned, and even the soil in the laboratory must be fumigated at high temperature in the boiler before it can be taken out of the laboratory. Fumigation, otherwise..."
