Ninghe County is a large county in Yanzhou. The reason why Ninghe County is called Ninghe County is because the Ninghe River passes through Ninghe County. The rolling water of Ninghe River flows through Yanzhou and looks like a giant dragon in the southeast of Yanzhou. Two huge gyrations of thousands of kilometers rolled like tumbling on the vast land of Yanzhou. Like a miraculous craftsmanship and a painter's unrestrained ink painting, the rushing Ning River became meandering, and finally rushed eastward...
The wind is gentle, the water is sentimental, and the huge gyrations of the Ninghe River bring friendship and friendship, which surround and irrigate thousands of miles of fertile fields, and at the same time create the wealth of the entire Ninghe County.
Ninghe County is known as the granary of Yanzhou. The entire Ninghe County is famous for its grain production. The reputation of Ninghe's grain is not only resounding in Youzhou and Northeast Governor's Mansion, but also among the many famous grain producing areas in Taixia. , can also be ranked as one of the most famous. Among them, some of the best grains in Ninghe County are purchased by officials of Xuanyuanzhiqiu Shaofu every year as tribute items for the Emperor Xuanyuanqiu’s imperial city and palace. Enjoyed by dignitaries.
The friendship of the Ninghe River and the food produced by the ointment-like black soil also created Ninghe Daqu, one of the top ten famous wines in Taixia.
Ninghe Daqu is brewed from the winter wheat in Ninghe County. The winter wheat in Ninghe County is sown in late September every year and begins to mature at the end of May of the next year. When it is harvest time every year, the whole land of Ninghe County is as far as the eye can see. The heavy golden color brings the rewards of the earth and brings hope to countless people.
In the past, when the winter wheat harvest in Ninghe County began in late May every year, a large number of airships and airships would arrive from Ninghe County. Naturally, the people arriving in airships and airships were not here to participate in the harvest, but to see the scenery. of.
Sitting on the airship or airship, you can see that the land under your feet is covered with a golden carpet within a radius of thousands of miles. When the breeze blows, the golden carpet surges like waves of sea water, making it a magnificent sight.
At this moment, several airships were floating over a wheat field in the main grain-producing area of Ninghe County. But what is different from previous years is that those flying boats are not here to see the beautiful scenery. The people on the flying boats are standing on the ground at the moment. Looking from a distance, they can see a group of people wearing green, red, purple and blue clothes, there are hundreds of them. Gathered at the edge of a golden wheat field.
The green, red, purple and blue clothes are the official uniforms of officials of different ranks in Taixia. At this time, the entire governor's office, the governor's office of Yanzhou and the officials of Ninghe County gathered here. So many heavyweight officials gathered together in the past. This kind of scene is probably only seen on special days when the Governor holds a banquet in the Governor's Mansion. The Governor likes banquets, especially fine wine, so he often holds banquets and drinks. And today, in the fields of Ninghe County. All the important officials who rarely see each other were gathered together.
There was a gentle breeze blowing in the fields, bringing with it a hint of the heat of summer at noon, but where these officials gathered. The atmosphere was as frozen as ice. Many officials, especially those from Ninghe County, had earth-colored faces, legs like chaff, and the cold sweat on their temples and backs made their bright-colored official uniforms wet and stuck to their bodies.
No one dared to speak out. Even the governor of Yanzhou stood beside the field ridge with his fists tightly clenched and his face as cold as iron.
.
The governor was exactly like an old farmer at this time. He squatted on the edge of a wheat field. He stretched out his palms and broke a handful of wheat ears. Then he pinched them with both hands and rubbed all the skins of the wheat ears in his palms away. , there was nothing in the peeled ears, not a grain of wheat. The superintendent clapped his hands, and the piece of wheat bran on his hands floated away lightly and without any weight in the breeze in the field.
Tried a few more times, same thing.
All ears of wheat are empty; there is not a grain of wheat in them.
Seeing the light and fluffy tassels floating away in the hands of the Superintendent, some of the officials around felt that what was being rubbed away by the Superintendent's palm was their own body, and what was floating away was their soul. .
Boom, an official wearing an eighth-grade official uniform with a gray beard couldn't bear such stimulation. Standing among the officials, his face turned red, his eyes closed, and he fainted on the ridge of the wheat field.
On normal days, officials would have come to help and take care of him, but at this moment, all the officials did not dare to show their anger, and no one even dared to move.
At this time, fainting, fainting is nothing. When the governor is angry, I don’t know how many officials want to move their heads and sink into hell.
Lord Governor stood up, his originally dark face was even darker now, not only black, but also icy. Everyone could see the overwhelming murderous intent in Governor's frowning brows.
The Governor took a deep breath, looked at the officials around him, and said calmly, "Where is Ninghe County Governor Liu Yuntao?"
"My subordinates are here!" Upon hearing the call of the Superintendent, among the officials, a loyal-looking official in his sixties trembled, and then walked out of the crowd and bowed to the Superintendent.
"Is this the case for all wheat in Ninghe County now?"
"It's all... it's all like this..." The Ninghe County Sheriff's body trembled.
"How much is the loss this time?"
"Ninghe County has planted a total of 167.85 million acres 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 losses are calculated, this summer's harvest , the wheat loss in Ninghe County is more than 154 billion kilograms..." Although the Ninghe County Sheriff was nervous, he talked about these data without any effort at all.
Ninghe County is a major agricultural county. The county governor himself was a farmer, and he became an agricultural officer from a farmer. Finally, he was appreciated by Zhu Tong, the governor of Yanzhou, and promoted to Ninghe County Sheriff. He was very concerned about agriculture. Naturally very familiar.
"More than 154 billion kilograms. If you save a little, you can feed 400 million people for a year..." The governor sighed, and his eyes turned around the trembling Ninghe County Sheriff and softened a little, "You are As a farmer, he is extremely proficient in field matters. In your opinion, are Ninghe County’s autumn grain harvest and next year’s summer grain harvest reliable?”
Hearing this question from the Governor, the Sheriff of Ninghe County turned pale. He raised his head and glanced at the officials at the prefecture level and the Governor's Office who were standing around. His tongue was a little knotted, "I... I don't Know… ?"
The governor's eyes that had just calmed down suddenly became sharp, "As the governor of Ninghe, you don't even know this, so what use do you have?"
The Ninghe County Sheriff looked bitter, "This... this is beyond the control of my subordinates..."
"Why?"
"My subordinates dare not say..."
"But it doesn't matter
! "
The Ninghe County Sheriff gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his head, "Since the Governor asked his subordinates to speak, I will tell you directly. This year, Ninghe County's land capacity, farming season, weather, farming, water conservancy, disease and insect prevention Nothing is bad. As in previous years, there will definitely be a bumper harvest. However, this year the entire winter wheat harvest in the county has failed. The losses are extremely heavy and unique. What can cause such problems at the same time is by no means ordinary plant diseases and insect pests, let alone There is only one reason for the influence of heaven and earth, that is, all the wheat planted in Ninghe County has been demonized, and only demonized plant seeds can cause such an effect of complete harvest failure!"
Everyone listened quietly, including the Governor. At this point, the Sheriff of Ninghe County was completely prepared, his face turned red, and his voice couldn't help but become louder.
"The seeds for growing winter wheat in Ninghe County do not come from one family. Many of the seeds are retained by farmers themselves. Under such circumstances, everyone can still plant the demonized seeds into the ground without knowing it. That is It is said that the fields in Ninghe County may have been contaminated by demonized seeds decades ago. Only through continuous contamination and spread from generation to generation over the years will the situation be like today, with no single farmer slipping through the net. This situation has left the entire Ninghe County without an inch of pure land. If this is true, then not only will Ninghe County not be able to harvest this year's summer grain, it is very likely that no other grains will be grown on the land in Ninghe County in the future. !”
The Governor's face was as dark as ink, "Isn't it possible to replace it with grains that are not demonized?"
"Master Superintendent Mingjian, the pollution of demonized seeds is at the genetic level. Like the field in front of you, if the field next to it is planted with demonized seeds, even if the other fields are planted with good seeds, the difference between the plants Pollination, used agricultural tools, transportation tools, and even the same water source for irrigation and the same soil will all cause genetic drift and pollution, spreading the magic genes of magic plant seeds to the next generation of good seeds, leaving the next generation The wheat seeds of one generation are unknowingly demonized, and if the wheat seeds of the next generation are sown again, they will be more polluted. In addition to mutual contamination between plants, those demonized grains will be eaten by people or livestock. , there will be some sources of genetic pollution that will also remain in the farmyard manure. Through the fertilizer, the fields will be polluted twice, so that a good field will no longer be able to grow good crops!" The Ninghe County Sheriff smiled sadly, "With Ninghe County now Judging from the current situation, if this kind of demonic pollution has continued unknowingly for decades, then there is a high possibility that the 167.85 million acres of fields in Ninghe County that are currently experiencing no harvest will be polluted together with the soil and fields. In the future, No matter who comes, it will be difficult to guarantee the harvest, which is why my subordinates say they don’t know about Ninghe County’s autumn grain and next year’s harvest!”
"Then is there any way to remove the sources of pollution in the soil?"
"If it is in a laboratory, in order to ensure that the magical plants in the laboratory will not cause genetic drift and contamination, all laboratory materials must be inactivated before being taken out of the laboratory. All magical plants Chemical plants must be burned, and even the soil in the laboratory must be fumigated at high temperatures in the boiler before being taken out of the laboratory. Therefore, unless the soil in the entire Ninghe County can be brought to the high temperature in the boiler, Fumigation, otherwise..."(.)
