Volume 42 Chapter 2 Taixia Catastrophe (2)
Are you kidding me, put all the 100 to 200 million mu of soil in Ninghe County into the boiler for high-temperature fumigation to eliminate the risk of contamination by demonized plants, who can do such a thing, I am afraid that even with the strength of Taixia, it will be a bit difficult , Even if it is burning bricks, you have never heard of a brick kiln that can accommodate 100 to 200 million mu of land, right?
Listening to the words of the sheriff of Ninghe County, all the officials around felt tens of thousands of alpacas galloping past, but no one dared to laugh, and no one refuted it, because among all the people present, the sheriff of Ninghe County was a well-deserved agricultural leader. Experts, no one knows farming better than Liu Yuntao. Liu Yuntao may be a bit bookish, but even if the governor is a phantom knight, Liu Yuntao's authority cannot be questioned in this regard.
Just after listening to Liu Yuntao's words, Lord Du Zai frowned even more.
"You mean that Ninghe County, which is the granary of Yanzhou, will not only lose its summer wheat harvest this year, but even if normal seeds are planted on this land in the future, it may be affected..."
"The genetic pollution and drift caused by demonized plants will not only lead to internal genetic changes in related species, but in severe cases, it may lead to structural changes in the entire ecological environment. Taking these fields in Ninghe County as an example, demonized Grain seeds will not only completely destroy the crops in the field, these magical grain seeds are rooted in the soil, and can directly cause serious impacts and major changes on the microbial system in the soil. These impacts and changes will change the characteristics of the soil ..."
Lord Superintendent waved his hand impatiently and interrupted the sheriff of Ninghe County, and asked straightforwardly, "Just tell me, can this fertile land in Ninghe County still produce food in the future?"
The sheriff of Ninghe County gritted his teeth again, and nodded vigorously, "Yes, but the yield of these farmlands will be affected, and these high-yield fields in Ninghe County may become low-yield fields, and it may take many years to recover. recover..."
"Now Ninghe County's summer grain harvest is over. As the prefect of Ninghe County, what countermeasures do you have?"
"set fire!"
"set fire?"
"Yes, the wheat in front of me has been harvested and is no longer worth harvesting. It will inevitably cause more pollution. It is best to burn it with a fire. After it is burned, the remaining ashes will be used as fertilizer on the spot to accumulate soil fertility and cultivate carefully. There is no problem with the next batch of grain seeds, and there will be a harvest!"
"Okay, let's set it on fire..."
"It's just that it is a fact that the summer wheat harvest in Ninghe County has been exhausted this year. Now the people of Ninghe County are in panic. If they want to restore the land of Ninghe County, they need to invest more. Taxation, in order to stabilize people's hearts, and then issue Huinong loans so that farmers can use loans to relieve the famine without worrying about the future, and then open the six warehouses in the first-class city in Yanzhou, and distribute the grain seeds that have not been demonized in the six warehouses , so that the people of our Ninghe County can devote themselves to the farmland again..."
The magistrate of Ninghe County put forward three opinions at once.
"Okay, I will exempt Ninghe County from taxes for three years. After three years, Ninghe County's taxes will be halved first, and the governor's mansion will first allocate 20 million gold coins..." At this point, the governor's tone was slightly slow After a while, it is estimated that it is only a few tenths of a second. If it is not the people around Mr. Duzai, he may not be able to notice the momentary hesitation of Mr. Duzai at this time, "The rest of the matter is also as you said!"
"Thank you, Duzai!" the governor of Ninghe County bowed to the bottom, and said generously, "If this is the case, after three years, if the fertile land in Ninghe County is still the same, I am willing to offer my head!"
"You don't need to offer your head, as long as you do things with your heart!" Mr. Duzai said this, and then he glanced at the official who had just fainted on the ridge of the field.
He waved his hand, "Take that man down for treatment. Seeing that he is old, he is no longer suitable to be an official in Ninghe County. After he wakes up, let him go home!"
"yes!"
"Let's go..." Lord Duzai said, soaring directly into the sky, and flew towards the flying boat of the governor in the sky. Zhong Feizhou flew away, and the people who were brought out by Mr. Duzai this time were all knight-level officials in the Duzai's mansion.
"Respectfully send off the governor..." The officials of Yanzhou and Ninghe County below respectfully sent it off in unison. Seeing that the governor left like this, he did not kill chickens and monkeys here on the spot, and held the responsibility to the whole Yanzhou Many people breathed a sigh of relief for the time being on the officials of Ninghe County. But the relief is only temporary. Looking at the current situation of the thousand miles of fertile soil in Ninghe County with no crops, everyone's hearts are as heavy as a lead pendant.
"Master Superintendent has issued an order, so let's do it..." Zhu Tong, the governor of Yanzhou, said...
...
Zhu Tong, the governor of Yanzhou, didn't speak just now, because his mood was also very heavy.
Zhu Tong has already guessed why Lord Superintendent didn't get angry here today, because the situation in Taixia is not only in the county of Ninghe County, but also in the top 100 grain-producing areas of Taixia. I heard that the situation is similar to that of Ninghe County. This year's summer harvest, the situation is extremely bad. All parts of Yanzhou are also in dire straits, and there are seven or eight out of ten places where there will be no harvest.
No matter how dull people are at this time, they all know that there has been a big problem in the field of agricultural production, which is related to Taixia's stability and lifeline. This point, just look at the grain prices in the past two months. The grain prices in various places have doubled in four or five months, and the rich and powerful families in various places have even started to hoard grain. All localities began to use official grain to enter the market, and adopted a policy of restricting the purchase of some wealthy and powerful households, and the price of grain has stabilized a little.
There is a big problem in Taixia's agricultural field. This problem is naturally closely related to Dasinong Han Zhengfang, Tongtian Sect and Demon Race. Anyone who is smarter can figure out the cause and effect.
But the reserve of official grain is limited. If the land can no longer produce grain, the population of Taixia is too large, and the official grain stored in each state and county can only sit and eat, and it is impossible to last for too long.
It's just that one of Taixia's nine ministers actually turned to the demon clan. How many killer moves Han Zhengfang has arranged in Taixia and how many holes he has dug for Taixia these years. , there was a cold snap.
...
——I hope there will be no more problems in the future.
Liu Yuntao, the governor of Ninghe County, is also a little restless at this time. After the summer harvest, according to the farming season and the usual practice, the large fields in Ninghe County will start to sow soybeans in late June. If the soybean harvest fails again this time...
Liu Yuntao didn't dare to think about it anymore. If such a situation really happened, and the farmers in Ninghe County had been busy for a year but didn't harvest any grains, then Taixia might really be in chaos before the demons came...
Liu Yuntao now only hopes that there will be no problems with the bean seeds in the six warehouses in the first-tier cities.
...
The officials began to leave the field ridges, and the soldiers who received orders had already begun to set the wheat in the fields on fire...
...
Just a few minutes later, Lord Duzai's flying boat hadn't left Ninghe County, and the ground below the flying boat had already risen into the sky with thick smoke, and the wheat fields thousands of miles away in Ninghe County started to catch fire...
The fire head in the wheat field is only more than ten meters high, which is not too big, but the smoke produced after so many wheat fields are ignited is very large. Looking at the ground under the feet from the flying boat, the thick smoke in the burned wheat field gradually extinguishes the Pieces of the earth were covered, forming patches of haze.
Standing on the flying boat, Lord Duzai looked at the smog rising from the ground under his feet, his brows were tightly frowned, and there was no smile on his face. Just now, when the governor of Ninghe County was talking about the grain reserves in Liuku, Lord Duzai He hesitated for a while, because at this time, even Lord Duzai couldn't be sure that there would be no problem with the Liuku reserves of the Grade A cities in the Northeast Governor's Mansion.
It is impossible for the grains and grains stored in the six warehouses of each Grade-A big city to remain unchanged for many years. Those grains and grains have a corresponding storage period. After the expiration, it is necessary to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new Otherwise, those grains will become moldy and spoiled. If Han Zhengfang and the demons decide to tamper with Taixia's grains, since the grains from all over the country have been demonized without knowing it, then they will be harvested from all over the place to enter Although the grains in Liuku are very strict in the process of entering the warehouse, no matter how carefully selected, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems.
Before the cataclysm, the demons and the three eyes would tamper with the demonized food. As long as people eat it for a long time, they will be sterile, weak, sick, and suffer from various terminal diseases. This point, as long as the collection and statistics The epidemiological data of various hospitals can find clues and make preventive and countermeasures. Taixia also has precautions against the methods of the demons. Every time I think of this time, the demons will fight each other. Xia's grain harvest began to fail at a certain time, and Taixia was left with no time for reaction and early warning. Not only did Taixia have no food, but it also destroyed Taixia's fertile land for grain production. This is the means of extinction.
What a vicious plan...
Lord Du Zai let out a long sigh in his heart.
At this moment, the demons have not yet come, but there is already a sign of instability in Taixia. Emperor Xuanyuan is missing, the crown prince is regent and supervises the country, the chaos of blood men in various states has not been completely subsided, and the remnants of the Tongtian Sect are still alive. Before it was cleared up, Taixia's agricultural lifeline once again had a big problem. In the past six months, food prices have started to soar, and housing prices in various cities have begun to soar. The wealthy and prominent families in various places have begun to build high-rise cities, accumulate food, and take advantage of the opportunity to clear up blood. Starting to expand private army regiment training is a sign of chaos in the world.
Thinking of this, Cheng Duzai became very worried...
...
"My lord, Gaozhou, Mozhou, Tongzhou, Qiongzhou, Yanzhou, Huizhou, and Chaozhou, we have all seen it. I don't know where your lord wants to go to inspect now?" Cao Gaotianqi, the governor of the governor's mansion, said behind the governor. It sounded, pulling Master Du Zai back from his thoughts.
"Only Youzhou did not go. Is there any news from Youzhou in the past few days?" Lord Duzai did not turn around, but asked calmly.
"Youzhou has already started the summer harvest, and Youzhou has not been affected much. I heard that only some fields in Youzhou's two counties have failed to harvest, and counties like Yanghe have much more grain production this summer than last year. Talking about the news about Youzhou, Mr. Zai Zai has been busy inspecting the states these two days, maybe he hasn’t heard of it yet, but his subordinates heard about a rather sensational thing from a friend two days ago. About Candle Dragon Collar!"
"Is it candle oil, or Zhang Tie's love affair in the subcontinent?"
Speaking of Zhang Tie, Lord Duzai's tone was a bit strange. Gao Tianqi still remembered that when he heard that Zhang Tie returned to Zhulong with a bunch of wives and children from the holy Kingdom of Iceland in the Weiyi subcontinent a few days ago, Duzai The adult was in the study at that time, so he snorted and said two words - nonsense. Lord Duzai seems to be dissatisfied with Zhang Tie still only caring about his wife and children at this time, but Lord Duzai has nothing to do, because Zhang Tie is no longer an official of Taixia, and Lord Duzai has no way to control Zhang Tietou superior.
"Ahem, it's not candle oil, nor is it the love affair of Qianji Daoist in the subcontinent!"
Gao Tianqi coughed twice, Lord Duzai can call Zhang Tie by his name directly. As a black iron knight, he calls a legendary land knight whose reputation has spread across the eastern and western continents, but he cannot have the tone of Lord Duzai, or else he will I don't know the seriousness, and the superintendent would not like it. If Zhang Tie was still serving as Youzhou Tingwei, he might still be able to call Zhang Tie by his first name, but now, he can't. In just a few years, it seems Watching the man with whom he had met several times, who was originally of similar status, getting higher and higher, Gao Tianqi himself didn't know what kind of state of mind he was in. When Zhang Tie was mentioned at this time, Gao Tianqi would involuntarily think of Zhang Tie. The first time I saw Zhang Tie was squatting by the river outside Youzhou City, washing dishes and chopsticks. A knight like Zhang Tie traveled in a RV with his family, and even took on such chores as washing dishes. Such a thing, I am afraid no one will believe it, it is simply a fantasy. Gao Tianqi has never done this kind of thing like washing dishes, whether at home or in the school, or when he came to the supervisor's side as an official.
"I heard that Master Qianji of the Iron Dragon Sect took out a treasure he obtained in the Earth Yuan Realm two days ago. That treasure is called the Blood Sacrifice Furnace. In just a few days, the effect of the Blood Sacrifice Furnace has caused a sensation. Because of the Blood Sacrifice Furnace, the value of those blood people who have caused disasters in Youzhou and Tongzhou has soared. Many rich and powerful families in Tongzhou have increased their manpower to hunt down the blood man, in order to catch them alive, and there are still some who want to buy them with huge sums of money. Due to the huge profits, bounty criminal arrests in various places have also heard the news..."
Lord Du Zai turned around at once, looked at the accompanying Du Cao beside him, and suddenly asked Gao Tianqi a question, "What do you think of Zhang Tie..."
Gao Tianqi took a breath, and said calmly, "Master Duzai may not know that before seeing the real Qianji for the first time in Youzhou, my subordinates met the real Qianji once outside the city. The first time I saw real Qianji, real Qianji was squatting by a river next to the military horse farm outside Youzhou City, washing dishes and chopsticks!"
"What are you talking about, squatting by the river and washing the dishes?" Master Du Zai looked surprised, thinking that Gao Tianqi seemed to be joking, a knight would wash the dishes? Gao Tianqi has never done such a thing in his life, and Lord Du Zai has never done it in his life either.
"It was washing dishes. At that time, Qianji Daoist was driving a newly bought RV, and was traveling in Youzhou with his parents, his wife and children. They traveled all the way to Youzhou City. I was with Feng Cangwu at that time. Trial horses at the army stud farm, and I only saw real Qianji when I came to drink horses by the river. The image of encountering a real person of Qianji often appears in my mind, reminding myself to maintain a normal heart whenever dealing with people. After several years of experience, I feel that my state of mind has changed Progress, if the governor wants to ask me what I think of Qianji Daoist, I think Qianji Daoist hides the unpredictable machine in his chest under the usual appearance, and holds the art of changing the world. The name of Qianji can resound throughout Taixia , Absolutely well-deserved reputation, admirable..." Gao Tianqi said solemnly.
There was a flash of light in Lord Duzai's eyes, and he said four words directly, "Go to Zhulong to lead..."
