Chapter 498 - More Serious Climate Change 1/2

"No, it's already spring, why is the temperature rising so slowly?" Feeling the temperature of the outside world, Su Yan frowned.

Under normal circumstances, in spring, the air temperature will rise rapidly, and the temperature has a great impact on crop planting.

In the Xia Kingdom, Su Yan and his family, who were all warriors, were the first to feel the spring climate change, followed by the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites in third place.

The Ministry of Rites has always been responsible for recording climate change, and it is also very concerned about daily temperature changes, and it is possible to feel temperature changes with the human body without modern thermometers.

In particular, the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, which is responsible for the cultivation of crops, and the most experienced people in the Xia Kingdom who work in the Ministry of Agriculture, stick their fingers into the soil to feel whether the temperature of the land is suitable for crop cultivation.

It can be said that the planting time of crops is not fixed, but changes according to the change of temperature, and the normal year fluctuates for a certain period of time, or a few days in advance, or a few days in advance, and in the last seven or eight years, because of extreme climate change, the planting time of crops has been delayed, not only because the ice melt time has been delayed, but also because the daily temperature is a little lower than in previous years.

However, this spring's daily temperatures are lower than usual, and crop planting will still have to be postponed.

The delay in planting crops is only a problem, and extreme climate change will be accompanied by natural disasters such as floods and droughts, which will inevitably reduce crop yields.

What's more, Su Yan suspects that this is a sign, the duration of winter has been increasing, and the severe temperature change this spring makes Su Yan feel that the next winter will change even more.

Does the winter last longer? Winters are getting colder?

There is no need for other changes, just these two changes will have a very serious impact on Xia Guo, last year, one-third of the time was winter, which had a great impact on the production and life of Xia Guo, and the duration of winter this year has increased wildly, Su Yan is worried that many plans of Xia Guo this year will not be completed.

And the temperature gets colder is the most terrible, and it's okay to stay in the house, but once you leave the house and stay outside for a while, you have to worry about whether it will freeze to death outside.

The growing extreme climate change has reached a situation where Xia Guo needs to deal with it with all its might.

Thinking of these things, Su Yan immediately ordered the headquarters of the transportation department that had been built on the side of Zhongjing City, asking them to send ships to each city and let the city lords of each city come to Zhongjing City for a meeting.

After that, Su Yan returned to the study and wrote down some of the key things that came to mind, and there were three most important things.

One is about crop planting this year, and the second is about building three new cities this year, Su Yan is ready to let the city lords send as many people as possible to participate in the construction of the three new cities.

The third one is about "Routine Vacation".

Su Yan didn't expect such a big change in the climate, and then the whole summer country will be busier, a little time is good, but there is no time to arrange holidays for the people, the matter of "routine holidays" is suspended, but the Ministry of Transport should still be prepared, and the people can pass letters and items to relatives and friends in another city through the Ministry of Transportation's Post Division.

After receiving the king's order, the transport department immediately sent three ships to sail along the Yellow River to the west, east and the source of the Yellow River's tributaries with the king's order, and passed the king's order to every city along the way.

Soon, one by one, the lords of the city received orders from the king.

"An emergency meeting? What's going on? "There is a bad feeling in the hearts of the city lords, this is the first time that an emergency meeting like this has appeared in the Xia Kingdom, and only when something big happens, the king will urgently convene a meeting of the city lords.

On the first day, three ships delivered the king's order to the city lords, and on the afternoon of the second day, the city lords gathered in Zhongjing City, Su Yan was also in a hurry, and when all the city lords gathered in Zhongjing City, Su Yan immediately held a meeting.

In the council chamber of the royal palace, the king, the lords of the city, and the ministers were seated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in recent years, our Xia country has been affected by extreme climate change, and the temperature growth this spring is slow, I feel that this is an omen, this year's extreme climate change will be more serious than in previous years, and our Xia country must do a good job of coping with it."

Hearing the king's words, all the city lords and ministers had serious expressions on their faces, Xia Guo is going to be strong under the leadership of the king, the king thinks that there will be a big problem this year, then there will be a big problem, they believe the king's words wholeheartedly.

Su Yan instructed some of the things he had written down with pen and paper one by one, and after saying everything, Su Yan looked at the city lords and ministers in front of him.

Su Yan stood up, and all the city lords and ministers also stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a matter of life and death for the Xia Kingdom, let's work together, and the Xia Kingdom will last forever!"

"The Xia Kingdom lasts forever!" Everyone said in unison.

On the third day, the city lords returned to the cities, and after returning to the cities, the city lords immediately convened a meeting of the important officials of the city lords, and the king gave instructions to the city lords and ministers, and the city lords and ministers ordered the matter to the next level, and then the matter fell to all the people of the Xia Kingdom.

In just four days, everyone in Xia Guo knew that "the sky will change greatly", under the leadership of the superiors, all the people consciously worked harder to complete their own things, and many people went to help others after completing their own things, and the entire Xia Kingdom was running at an efficiency of one hundred and twenty percent or even higher, and the center of Xia Country was Su Yan.

The more serious temperature change was not only felt by the Xia Kingdom, but also by those farming tribes.

The officials of the Xia Ministry of Agriculture were able to feel whether the temperature of the land was suitable for planting by inserting their fingers into the soil, and the elders of the farming tribes had similar methods to feel whether the temperature of the land was suitable for planting.

There is a difference, after the Xia country felt the more serious extreme climate change, the entire Xia country worked together to actively respond to extreme climate change, and most of those farming tribes did not care too much about the temperature change, let alone did not deal with it, including the fishing tribe and the Japanese tribe.

If the leader of the fishing tribe was still the old man, I am afraid that the fishing tribe would not have taken the more serious temperature change this year so lightly.

Not long after, the three trading fleets returned, and also brought back four leaders and witches, the leaders and witches from the four tribes were all to the Xia country to investigate, ready to take the tribe to join the Xia country.
