Chapter 50, Du Lei's speech

Just when everyone was resting and talking, Du Lei suddenly dug up a plant from the field outside that he didn't know what it was, with green leaves on the top and pimples on the rhizome below, which looked ugly.

"Knock knock, everyone be quiet, be quiet, I have something important to tell you!" Du Lei took the strange plant and used the amplitude of spiritual power, and the people in the square of the whole town could hear it clearly.

"Who is he?" "What's the matter?" "What's going on?" "Is it time to eat again?" After the crowd was in a riot and talking for more than ten seconds, they finally calmed down when they saw Du Lei's gesture, and looked at Du Lei with both eyes.

"What is Du Lei doing?" asked Relia curiously.

Tariq and Uncle Ben both shook their heads and said that they didn't know, and even Du Gongzi and Lambda came to the square to listen to what Du Lei was going to say.

"First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Du Lei, I am a student of the Cruz Academy in Tamar City, and I am a botanical magician. "I heard that Du Lei was still a magician, and he was a more noble figure than ordinary nobles, and there was a riot below.

"I want to talk to you today, about drought and food, I want to ask you a question, do any of you know why there is such a severe drought in the north, why the closer you get to Mogan City, the more barren the land becomes?" Du Lei asked loudly.

There was a lot of discussion below, but no one dared to stand up and answer, but someone shouted, "If it doesn't rain and can't plant the land, what can we ordinary people do?"

Hearing the approval of the people below, Du Lei shook his head, it seems that these people don't realize the seriousness of the situation at all, "It has nothing to do with you!?Wrong!I'll tell you!On the contrary!These consequences are of your own making!" Du Lei's words caused serious protests from the refugees below, and even Du Gongzi and Tariq frowned, there was a drought, what does it have to do with these civilians?

"You're a venerable magician, but you can't let us civilians bear the responsibility for the cause of the natural disaster!" "Yes, yes!" "What does it have to do with us!?" "He must be trying to condemn us!" "Say less, I don't think this magician looks like a bad person, listen to what he says." An old man also said suspiciously.

"You don't know! Then I'll tell you! Why are these consequences of your own making! First of all, please open your eyes and look around the town! What else have you removed from the drought-tolerant wild grass? What other trees have you removed?! Although I have not been to Mogan City, I know from the scene here and the environment around Mogan City from the mouths of others! The sky is full of yellow sand! Not even weeds can grow! Why is this!?" Du Lei's words made the people below shut up, and even Du Gongzi fell into deep thought.

"Can't think of it, right? It's very simple, in order to grow more food, in order to build new houses, you cut down all the trees, and reclaimed all the original grassland into farmland! You have watered the crops with the original water source! Think about it for yourself, isn't it very long ago, Mogan City was not what it is now, there used to be trees, meadows and lakes! Although there is less rain than in the south of the kingdom, at least it is not as watery as it is now!?" Du Lei's words made the refugees below seem to recall the Mogan City a few decades ago! As Du Lei said, the original Mogan City was definitely a paradise, woods, lakes, and meadows, blocking the desert of the Mogan Kingdom far away, in just a few decades, as the residents near Mogan City, they themselves ignored the changes in their homes, and the desert came defenseless! The original beautiful homeland has become what it is now, and the originally beautiful life has slowly turned into hunger! It has become a drought!

"I'm not here to blame you today, it's happened, what I want to tell you is not to escape, but to find a way to remedy it! How to make peace with the land! This drought is estimated to last longer than you think! And it will continue to spread from Mogan City! If you blindly escape, eventually the entire Rock Kingdom will become like the Friction Kingdom, full of yellow sand!" Du Lei's words made Lambda step forward, this guy actually said such a reactionary country's words! But he was stopped by Du Gongzi," "He's right, this is the truth, and it's already in front of you and me, do you still want to blind yourself and do those meaningless things?" Du Gongzi said with a deep look in his eyes.

"So what are we going to do?" "We don't even have food now, what can we do?" the people below began to talk again.

"It's very simple, return farmland to forest, return farmland to grassland! The land that has been reclaimed in the past, stop growing grain, plant some saplings or grass seeds, and plant a glimmer of hope for your own homeland, and in the future the saplings and grass will grow, and they will protect your land from the yellow sand! With shady trees and green grass, the natural climate and environment will gradually improve, and the drought will slowly recede. Du Lei thought of the endless acquisition of human beings on the earth, which led to the desertification of the land, the sharp reduction of freshwater resources, and such a beautiful place in the Eternal Continent, he didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the earth, at least, he had to work hard to do it, and mobilize others to do it too, so as to achieve the desired effect.

"But we don't even have food to eat, we can't cook at all, and besides, the land is no longer grown, what do we eat, what do we wear?" asked the man below.

"That's what I'm going to introduce to you! It's called the potato, and it's a drought-tolerant plant! Look at its rhizomes! It's these very ugly lumps! This part is edible! Whether it's boiled, roasted, or floured, it can basically replace wheat, and the yield of potatoes is much higher than the wheat you grow! Not only can you eat it yourself, but you can also sell it to other cities in exchange for other supplies. If you pass this sample down and take a look, there are a lot of these potatoes in the wasteland out there! And there's this plant called sweet potato, just like potatoes, and you can take it down and take a look. As for the trees, I would like to introduce you to the cones! What you may not know is that in Tamar City, the nuts of the cones are very common in Tamar, the nuts of the cones are very tasty when the yellow coating is peeled off, and the dried nuts can also be used to extract oil instead of olive oil! I think that these plants are enough for your economic needs, if you can transform the barren land of Mogan City into grasslands, woods, and then plant potatoes, sweet potatoes, wood conball trees, and some medicinal herbs that can grow in the woods, not only can your life be guaranteed, your home can be restored, but you can also get a large area of resources, as long as you can limit the amount of land you can claim in the future, this situation will not happen again!"

After a long time, some civilians finally appeared in their eyes, hoping for it! It seems that they have finally imagined the picture described by Du Lei, perhaps, they were really wrong before!?
