Are you kidding me? Only by fumigating all the 100-200 million acres of soil in Ninghe County at high temperatures in boilers can we eliminate the risk of contamination by demonic plants. Who can do such a thing? Even with the strength of Taixia, it would be difficult. , even for burning bricks, you have never heard of a brick kiln that can accommodate one to two hundred million acres of land, right
Listening to the words of the Ninghe County Sheriff, all the officials around had ten thousand alpacas rushing past in their hearts, but no one dared to laugh, and no one refuted, because among all the people present, the Ninghe County Sheriff was the well-deserved leader in agriculture. Experts, no one knows more about farming than Liu Yuntao. Liu Yuntao may have some bookishness, but even if the governor is a phantom knight, there is no way to question Liu Yuntao's authority in this regard.
Just after listening to Liu Yuntao's words, the governor frowned even more.
"What you mean is that Ninghe County, which is the granary of Yanzhou, will not only have no harvest of summer wheat 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 cause intrinsic genetic changes in closely related species, but in severe cases, may lead to structural changes in the entire ecological environment. In the case of these fields in Ninghe County, demonized plants Grain seeds will not only cause the crops in the fields to completely fail. These demonized grain seeds are rooted in the soil and can also directly cause serious impacts and major changes to the microbial system in the soil. These impacts and changes will change the characteristics of the soil. …”
The Governor waved his hand impatiently to interrupt the Ninghe County Sheriff's words, and asked straight to the point, "Just tell me directly, will the thousands of miles of fertile land in Ninghe County still be able to produce food?"
The Ninghe County Sheriff gritted his teeth again and nodded vigorously, "Yes, but the yield of these farmlands will be affected. These high-yield fields in Ninghe County may turn into low-yield fields, and it may take many years. Recover..."
"Now that the summer grain harvest in Ninghe County has stopped, as the prefect of Ninghe County, what are your countermeasures?"
"set fire!"
"set fire?"
"Yes. The wheat harvest in front of us has failed and has no harvest value. It will cause greater pollution. It is best to burn it all with fire. After burning it, the remaining ashes can be put into the fields to make fertilizer, accumulate soil fertility, and cultivate carefully. As long as There is no problem with the next batch of grain seeds. There will be a harvest in any quantity!"
"Okay, then set fire..."
"It's just a fact that Ninghe County's summer wheat harvest will be impossible this year. Now the people of Ninghe County are panicked. If we want to restore Ninghe County's soil, we need more investment. I am brave enough to ask the Governor to exempt Ninghe County from this year's harvest." Tax, in order to stabilize people's hearts, and then issue benefit loans so that farmers can use them to relieve famines. To avoid worries, we can open six warehouses in the Class A city in Yanzhou and distribute the grain seeds that have not been demonized in the six warehouses. , so that the people of Ninghe County can once again devote themselves wholeheartedly to farmland... "
The governor 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 Office will also allocate 20 million gold coins first..." At this point, the Governor's tone slowed down slightly. A moment, probably only a few tenths of a second. People who are not close to the Governor may not be able to notice the slight hesitation of the Governor at this moment, "The rest will be as you said!"
"Thank you, Lord Governor!" The Sheriff of Ninghe County bowed to the end 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 give my head to you!"
"I don't want you to sacrifice your head, as long as you work with your heart, it will be fine!" After the Lord Superintendent said this, he glanced at the official who had just fainted on the field ridge. He waved his hand and said, "Bring that man down for treatment. We see that he is old and no longer suitable to be an official in Ninghe County. When he wakes up, let him serve as an official and go home!"
"yes!"
"Let's go..." The Lord Governor said, and he directly jumped into the sky and flew towards the Governor's flying boat in the sky. Several officials accompanying him in the Governor's Mansion also took off and flew towards the sky, following the Lord Governor. The flying boat flew away. This time, the people the Governor brought with him for inspection were all knight-level officials in the Governor's Mansion.
"Congratulations to the Governor..." A group of officials from Yanzhou and Ninghe County below expressed their congratulations. Seeing that the Governor left like this, they did not kill the chickens and monkeys here on the spot. The officials from Yanzhou and Ninghe County were held responsible for this. For Ninghe County officials, many people felt temporarily relieved. But the relief is only temporary. Looking at the current situation of Ninghe County, where thousands of miles of fertile soil has not been harvested, everyone's hearts feel as heavy as a lead weight.
"The Governor has given an order, let's do it..." Zhu Tong, the governor of Yanzhou, spoke...
…
Zhu Tong, the governor of Yanzhou, had not spoken just now because his mood was also extremely heavy.
Zhu Tong has already guessed why the governor didn't get angry here today, because the situation in Taixia now is not only Ninghe County, but also the top 100 grain-producing areas in Taixia. I heard that the situation is similar to that in Ninghe County. This year's summer harvest situation is extremely bad. Everywhere in Yanzhou is also in a state of emergency. There is a high probability that there will be no harvest.
No matter how dull people are at this time, they all know that there is a big problem in the agricultural production field that is related to the stability and lifeblood of Taixia. You only need to look at the food prices in the past two months to know this. Food prices in various places have doubled in the past two months. Rich families in various places have begun to hoard food. All localities began to use official grains to put into the market, and adopted purchasing restrictions for a number of wealthy households. Only then did grain prices calm down a little.
There is a big problem in the agricultural field of Taixia. This problem is naturally closely related to Da Si Nong Han Zhengfang, Tongtian Sect and the Demon Clan. Anyone who is smart can figure out the cause and effect.
However, the reserve of official grain is limited. If the land can no longer produce food, given Taixia's population size, the official grain stored in various states and counties will only be empty and cannot be sustained for long.
It's just that as one of the nine ministers of Taixia, an important minister actually defected to the demons. How many killing moves did Han Zhengfang deploy in Taixia and how many holes did he dig for Taixia over the years? Once he thought of this issue, even Zhu Tong, the governor of Yanzhou, was worried. , there was a cold wave rolling through.
…
—I hope there won’t be any more problems later.
Liu Yuntao, the governor of Ninghe County, was also a little uneasy at this time. After the summer harvest, according to the farming season and practice, large fields in Ninghe County will start sowing soybeans in late June. If the soybean harvest fails again this time...
Liu Yuntao no longer dared to think about it. If this happens, and the farmers in Ninghe County have been busy for a year but have not harvested anything, then they may not wait for the demons to come. I'm afraid this Taixia is really going to be chaotic...
Liu Yuntao now only hopes that there will be no problem with the bean seeds in the six warehouses in each Class A city.
…
The officials began to leave the field, and the soldiers who had received the order had already begun to set the wheat in the field on fire...
…
Just a few minutes later, the governor's flying boat had not yet left Ninghe County, and the ground beneath the flying boat was on the ground. Thick smoke has risen into the sky, and the wheat fields thousands of miles away in Ninghe County have begun to catch fire...
The top of the fire in the wheat field is only more than ten meters high, which is not very big, but the smoke produced after so many wheat fields are ignited is very large. Looking at the ground under my feet from the flying boat, the thick smoke in the burned wheat fields gradually engulfs those below. The earth was covered piece by piece, forming patches of haze.
The Governor stood on the flying boat, frowning as he looked at the haze rising from the ground beneath his feet. There was no smile on his face. Just now when the governor of Ninghe County mentioned the grain reserves in the six warehouses, the governor hesitated a little. It was because at this time, even the governor could not be sure of the various positions in the Northeast Governor's Mansion. There will be no problem with the six-storey reserve in a large city.
The grains and grains stored in the six warehouses of each Grade A city cannot be kept there for many years as soon as they are put in. Those grains and grains have corresponding storage periods. After the expiration, they must bid farewell 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. So, since the grains from various places have been unknowingly demonized, the grains collected from various places and entered into the six warehouses have a very strict entry process. No matter how carefully you choose, there is no guarantee that problems will not arise.
Before the catastrophe, the demons and the Three Eyes would manipulate the demonized food. As long as people ate it for a long time, they would be sterilized, weak, and sickly. Suffering from various terminal diseases, as long as we collect and compile epidemiological data from various hospitals, we can find out the clues and take preventive and response measures. Taixia also has precautions against the demons. Every time I think of this, the demons The clan responded tit for tat, using the same method, but directly caused Taixia's food harvest to begin to fail at a specific time, leaving no time for Taixia to react or warn. Not only did Taixia have no food, but it also destroyed Taixia's food production. The fertile land is a means of extermination.
What a vicious plan...
The Governor sighed deeply in his heart.
At this moment, the demons have not yet attacked, but there is already signs of instability within Taixia. Emperor Xuanyuan has disappeared, the prince is regent and supervises the country, the bloody rebellion in various states has not yet completely subsided, and the remnants of the Tongtian Sect have not yet been wiped out. Clean, Taixia's agricultural lifeline has once again encountered a big problem. In the past six months, food prices have begun to skyrocket, and housing prices in various cities have begun to soar. Rich and powerful families in various places have begun to build cities, accumulate grain, and take advantage of the opportunity to suppress the bloody people, and they have legitimately begun to expand. Private army training is a sign of chaos in the world.
Thinking of this, Governor Cheng became very worried...
…
"Sir, we have seen Gaozhou, Mozhou, Tongzhou, Qiongzhou, Yanzhou, Huizhou, and Chaozhou. I wonder where you want to inspect now?" the voice of Gao Tianqi, the governor of the governor's office, said behind him. There was a sound, pulling the governor back from his thoughts.
"Only Youzhou has not left. Is there any news from Youzhou in the past few days?" The Governor asked calmly without turning around.
"The summer harvest has begun in Youzhou. Youzhou has not been greatly affected. I heard that some fields in only two counties in Youzhou have failed to harvest. In counties such as Yanghe, the grain output this summer is much more than last year. It is necessary to Talking about the news about Youzhou, the governor has been busy inspecting various states these past two days. Perhaps he has not heard about it, but his subordinates heard about a quite sensational thing from a friend two days ago. About the Candle Dragon Territory!"
"Is it candle oil, or Zhang Tie's love affair in the subcontinent?"
Speaking of Zhang Tie, the governor's tone was a bit strange. Gao Tianqi still remembered that when he heard that Zhang Tie returned to the Zhulong Territory with a bunch of wives and children from the sacred Kingdom of Iceland in the Hawaiian subcontinent a few days ago, the governor The adult was in the study at that time, so he snorted and said two words - nonsense. The Superintendent seemed a little dissatisfied with Zhang Tie for only caring about his wife and children at this time, but there was nothing he could do about it, because Zhang Tie was no longer a Taixia official, and the Superintendent had no way to control Zhang Tietou. superior.
"Ahem, it's not candle oil, nor is it the affair of Master Qianji in the subcontinent!"
Gao Tianqi coughed twice. The governor can call Zhang Tie by his name. As a black iron knight, he calls a legendary earth knight whose reputation spreads across the eastern and western continents, but he cannot have such a tone as the governor, otherwise he is I don’t know how serious it is, and the Governor won’t like it. If Zhang Tie was still a Youzhou court captain, he might have been able to directly call Zhang Tie by his first name, but now, he can’t. In just a few years, it seems that As the man who had met him several times and whose status was similar to him rose higher and higher, Gao Tianqi himself didn't know what kind of state of mind he was in. At this time, when Zhang Tie was mentioned, Gao Tianqi could not help but think of The first time I saw Zhang Tie, he was squatting by the river outside Youzhou City, washing dishes. A knight like Zhang Tie was traveling in an RV with his family, and he even took on chores like washing dishes. I'm afraid no one would believe such a thing if I told it. It's simply a fantasy. Gao Tianqi has never done this kind of thing like washing dishes once in his life, whether it is at home, in the teacher's sect, or when he is an official and comes to the superintendent.
"I heard that the leader of the Iron Dragon Sect, Qianji Zhenren, took out an important treasure he obtained in the Earth Yuan Realm two days ago. That important treasure is called the Blood Sacrifice Furnace. It can actually be used to improve oneself after blood sacrifices are made in 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 bloody people who brought trouble to Youzhou and Tongzhou has soared, and there are rare goods to live in. Youzhou and Many wealthy families in Tongzhou have increased their manpower to hunt down the bloody people in order to capture them alive, and some of them pay huge sums of money to buy them. Under the huge profits, bounty arrests are also carried out in various places... "
The governor suddenly turned around, looked at the governor beside him, and suddenly asked Gao Tianqi a question, "What do you think of Zhang Tie..."
Gao Tianqi took a breath and said calmly, "The Governor may not know yet, but before I saw Qianji Zhenren for the first time in Youzhou, my subordinates had met Qianji Zhenren once outside the city. The first time I saw Master Qianji, he was squatting by a river next to the military horse farm outside Youzhou City, washing dishes!"
"What are you talking about, squatting by the river washing dishes?" The governor looked surprised, thinking that Gao Tianqi was telling a joke. A knight would wash dishes? Gao Tianqi has never done such a thing in his life, and the Governor has also never done such a thing in his life.
"I was washing dishes. Qianji Zhenren was driving a newly purchased RV and traveling in Youzhou with his parents, wife and children. They traveled all the way to Youzhou City, and I was with Feng Cangwu at that time. We were trying horses at the military horse farm, and it was only when we came to the river to drink the horses that we saw Qianji Zhenren. At that time, I didn’t realize that the young man washing dishes in front of us was actually a powerful black iron knight. Over the years, the third person at that time The image of meeting Qianji Zhenren often appears in my mind, reminding me to keep a normal mind whenever I deal with others. After several years of experience, I feel that my state of mind has improved a lot. Progress, if the Governor wants to ask me what I think of Qianji Zhenren, I feel that Qianji Zhenren, under his ordinary appearance, has hidden hidden secrets in his chest and possesses the art of changing the world. His name Qianji can be resounding throughout Taixia. , Definitely well-deserved and admirable..." Gao Tianqi said solemnly.
The governor's eyes flashed with light, and he said four words directly, "Go to the Zhulong Territory..."
