"boom!"
"Wow, boom!"
Clouds were densely covered, and with a light thunder, the sky that had been thirsty for several months finally accumulated a little moisture, and the rain fell, scattered and scattered, covering Phoenix Mountain in a mist.
From April to mid-August this year, it is the first rain. Although it is not big, it is enough to make those who suffer from drought and high temperature feel a little comfort.
The meteorological department is rushing to tell everyone, because in the next few days, the north will usher in a slight drop in temperature, and there will be showers in some areas. This means that this year's vision heat has finally come to an end. The south may continue for a while, but it will be capped at most in September.
At this moment, on the mountain road of Phoenix Mountain, several people were walking down the long stone steps holding umbrellas.
"The timing is just right for you to leave, and you can still see the scenery in the rain." Gu Yu said with a smile.
"Oh, I really didn't live enough, but I didn't dare to disobey my teacher's orders, so I had to leave. I'm sorry to bother you to entertain me these few days!" Chao Kongtu said.
"Well, if you want to come, we welcome you at any time."
Xiao Zhai also responded, and Long Qiu suddenly blinked when he heard it, and said in an inexperienced gossip, "Hey, Jin Jin, are you welcome?"
"Whether he comes or not is none of my business, why should I welcome him?"
What kind of head is Xiao Jin? She immediately recalled it, her eyes widened, and she said, "Damn it, what kind of spiritual world are you? So empty that you can confuse me with the bastard? You don't even have a congenital talent, so why should I fall in love with him?"
"..."
Long Qiu's little face flushed from being bullied, and he quietly hid behind his sister and pretended to be a dog. But Chao Kongtu only felt his knees go limp, unable to refute.
It is said that after he received the news from Master, he will rush to Tangshan Hospital in Beijing to preside over the rescue (zhua) treatment (gui) and training work there.
He stayed in Phoenix Mountain for five or six days, which was an eye-opener. Of course, it doesn't refer to those spiritual rice, spiritual tea or fruit wine, but the Taoism that the four of them inadvertently displayed.
Although he didn't see Qi Qi and Lei Fa, the imaginary cloth, small sealing and small transporting skills alone were enough to amaze him.
Especially the transportation technique, he was startled at first, thinking it was the ability to create things out of thin air, but later found out, oh, it turned out to be a kind of space transformation... Thinking that Gu Jushi forcibly unscrewed the shamanism at the gate of the city government compound. Many heads probably use this technique.
As a member of Qi Yun, Chao Kongtu unconsciously compared the two.
The Taoist monastery is rich in spells and factions, but its level is not high. Even if you get the White Crane Relic, you probably won't be able to compete with Phoenix Mountain. However, the underground palace has three floors, so there may not be more advanced Taoism.
The rules of the Taoist Academy are complete, with distinctions between top and bottom, and clear responsibilities, which is a bit like the organizational structure of a company. But this place is more humane, free-wheeling, with strong centripetal force, like a big family.
It is indeed difficult to say who has the advantage.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain. Chao Kongtu stopped, turned to face the four of them, and saluted solemnly: "So farewell, see you again!"
"Goodbye!"
After all, he got into Lao Shuibei's car and slowly disappeared into the rain and fog.
The four of them stood for a while, then wiped their bodies and went back to the mountain.
Xiao Zhai walked a few steps, put away the umbrella, but didn't use his breath to resist it, just drenched with water, with a refreshing look in his brows and eyes, and suddenly asked: "Hey, what do you think?"
"The government has been brewing for a year, with subtle propaganda and guidance. Now that the situation is complicated and there are many crises in the world, I'm afraid it can't help but start."
Gu Yu thought for a while, and said: "For such a major event of great changes in the world, in addition to the preliminary preparation, there must be a suitable entry point. This time, I took the initiative to invite overseas descendants of Daoist sects to enter the country. It is estimated that this matter will be used as a fuss, Lulu It's true."
"I don't know what they are going to do. Anyway, the Daoist sect is being used as a weapon again, oh, it should be Zhengyi." Xiaozhai said.
"No way, the Taoist sect relies on government resources, so they have to stand on the front line."
"Tsk, what's the point of discussing this? Just go and see what they're doing!"
Xiao Jin suddenly interrupted, blinking, ready to move.
"It's not the time yet, let's wait for the development."
Gu Yu directly refused, paused, and then asked: "By the way, Xiaoqiu, how is Zheng Kaixin's child?"
"Uh, I didn't quite get used to it when I first came here, but now I'm getting more and more mischievous. His mother is fine, she can help with the vegetables." Long Qiu responded.
"Well, he will be in your care. You don't need to teach anything. You should practice meditation first. You don't need physical skills, Mao Shan's tricks are enough."
"Hee hee, I understand."
Zheng Kaixin's aptitude is slightly above average, not too good. But he is a little different, that is, the addition of yin energy integrated into the body.
Under normal circumstances, qi refining methods do not have attributes, including the method of eating qi. As for Zheng Kaixin's way, if he can find the corresponding skills, it will have Yin attributes, and he can definitely look forward to it.
…
Beijing, office.
The old man leaned back in the chair, put his glasses on the table, closed his eyes and listened to the assistant's report:
"As of mid-August, a total of 24 provinces have experienced droughts of varying degrees, and about 319 million mu of crops have been affected by drought, of which 41.39 million mu have not been harvested, resulting in a loss of 27.36 billion kilograms of grain.
The Disaster Reduction Committee and the Ministry of Civil Affairs have launched an emergency response, and various working groups have rushed to the disaster area to organize the masses to grab moisture and replant, rationally allocate water sources to expand the irrigation area, prepare for autumn mulching in advance, and carry out agricultural insurance drought survey and settlement to help farmers make up for the damage. loss…
Internationally, due to the drought in major wheat producing areas such as Australia and Sam Country, the global wheat production is expected to be 503 million tons, a decrease of 9% from last year.
Global food prices soared 10% at the beginning of the month, with corn and wheat prices both up 25%, and soybean prices up 17%.
According to statistics from the Grain Bureau, the price of wheat in the domestic market increased by 3.3% year-on-year, the price of early indica rice increased by 7.6% year-on-year, the price of medium indica rice increased by 7.8% year-on-year, and the price of corn increased by 12.7% year-on-year, all of which were far lower than the increase in international market prices... "
"..."
When the assistant finished reading, the old man didn't respond for a while, and then nodded his head after a while to signal clearly.
In modern society, with advanced agricultural technology, many countries have implemented a grain reserve system to cope with major natural disasters and stabilize the grain market. So unlike a few decades ago, a severe drought may starve to death.
Especially in the Xia Kingdom, the emphasis on food far exceeds that of foreign countries.
There are always rumors among the people that if the consumption of one catty per person per day is estimated, the domestic grain can be guaranteed, and there is no grain harvest anywhere, and it can be eaten for 2.5 to 3 years.
You know, nearly 2 billion people! So many netizens joked that if we run out of food, then the earth will be extinct.
These data are state secrets, ordinary people can only YY, but the old man knows it all.
To be honest, based on the current situation, a large reduction in production in one or two years is all right, but if there is a continuous reduction in production in three to four years, four to five years, then there will really be a food shortage!
I don't know when this damn spirit will be stable, and the country dare not gamble.
