Chapter 51, Encounter with the Earth Rhino
After knowing that the strange rhizome of the potato can be eaten, the ecstatic refugees all ran out to dig potatoes, because this potato was used as a kind of weed by people before, and there are also weird rhizomes, and there is white mucus after cutting, maybe someone has eaten the green potato, so people have always thought that it is a poisonous plant, after Du Lei's careful explanation, thousands of people knelt on the ground to thank Du Lei, what is the scene? Even Du Lei himself didn't expect that his words would achieve such an effect!
Maybe he didn't think it was anything, it was just knowledge and truth that everyone on the earth understood, but for these people who fled from the vicinity of Mogan City, it was like an oracle, Du Lei not only told them how to save their homeland, but also taught them how to develop, and crucially, told them how not to starve! What would it look like if the low-yield crops like barley grown in the Kingdom of Yiluo were replaced with potatoes and sweet potatoes that could grow everywhere?
Even Lambda, who was about to stop Du Lei just now, was moved at this moment! Because he saw the expectation in the eyes of these civilians, and saw their gratitude from the bottom of his heart! The hypocritical face he had seen for so many years was broken by this group of refugees and an ordinary young man at this moment!
"If he helps govern the kingdom, in less than ten years, my Rock Kingdom will definitely become the overlord of the Zhou Kingdom! It's not even impossible to become the Eighth Empire of the mainland!" Du Gongzi had an indescribable look in his eyes, shaking his fan and looking at Du Lei, who had done all this, and sighed.
"Why doesn't that son take it for his own use? This Du Lei's wisdom is much more useful than those civil officials. Lambda said.
"It's not easy for someone to follow you sincerely, let alone people with great wisdom, it's not the time yet, aren't they going to hunt the earth rhino? Du Gongzi shook his head and said.
After a long conversation with a few of the more prestigious people in this group of refugees, Du Lei carefully explained to them all the plans he had drawn up, how to control soil erosion, how to plant cash crops, and told them that these things require long-term investment, need to have unswerving faith, and gave them a sum of money, these people have sworn by the gods, absolutely single-mindedly into the plan to revitalize their homeland, and live up to Du Lei's intentions!
It's almost dawn, just after talking about everything, Du Lei stretched his waist, there are more than 1,000 people to help him publicize, it is estimated that in more than ten years, Mogan City will be able to become a fertile land again, I hope they can cherish all this.
"I wonder if the potatoes that Mr. Du Lei said can be promoted and planted across the country?" said Du Gongzi when he appeared beside Du Lei.
Du Lei was quite surprised by this Du Gongzi, I didn't expect that there was a surname like himself in this world, and this Du Gongzi didn't look like a simple person, especially the guard, whose strength was unfathomable, and Du Lei couldn't figure out what the other party's strength was. "Of course, this plant is very adaptable and has a high yield, and it can be used as a staple food as well as a vegetable side-food, but people used to misunderstand that green potatoes are poisonous. ”
"That's great, if it spreads across the country, it will have a boost to the food economy of the kingdom as a whole. You are a great hero of the Kingdom. Du Gongzi happily held the fan and hammered his palm and said.
"Hehe, what a great hero, Mr. Du has won the award, but if you want to promote it, I don't have so much time to do it, so let it be. Du Lei shook his head and said, if you send your suggestions to the kingdom department, it is estimated that you can get the appreciation of the kingdom and reward something, but Du Lei does not lack anything now, what is missing is time, and anything you need can be bought with money, and if you don't have money, you can sell a lot of gold coins by making a few enchanted weapons, and as for the wealth left by the moon shadow in the space ring, there is no need to use it at all.
After the day was completely bright, Du Lei and the others were ready to go on the road, perhaps due to the influence of last night, Bedora surprisingly did not say anything like mockery to Du Lei, but quietly followed the team, sitting on a second-level white-haired lion summoned by himself to follow the team, although he did not talk to Du Lei, but obviously the relationship eased a lot.
"Mr. Du Lei, wait, wait for us. At the back of the team, Mr. Du and Lambda also rode over on the dragon horse beast, but the dragon horse beast of the two was slightly different from the others, not only was the physique larger, more robust, the hooves were also larger than the normal dragon horse beast, and the eyes were more round and more energetic!
"Good horse!" Tariq was away all the year round, and when he saw the mounts of the two, he couldn't help but admire, this kind of dragon horse beast is much stronger than ordinary dragon horse beasts, not only is it faster, its endurance is better, and it is generally not frightened, ordinary dragon horse beasts will be frightened and lose their minds when they see the second-level ferocious monsters.
"We are also about to rush to Mogan City, I wonder if we can go the same way?" Du Gongzi asked with his fists clenched on the horse.
"But our trip is not to go to Mogan City, but to find the traces of the earth rhinoceros, and I am afraid that the trip will be delayed. Du Lei said.
"Don't delay, don't delay! I know where the earth rhinoceros you are talking about is in it! I heard that it has appeared near Mogan City recently, so you better rush to the vicinity of Mogan City to look for it. Du Gongzi said.
"Really, then, let's go straight to Mogan City!" Tariq was worried about the trail of the earth rhinoceros, but he didn't expect someone to come to deliver the news.
"That's very good!" Du Gongzi nodded, and everyone rode their horses and whips, bringing up dust all the way to the north.
The closer you get to Mogancheng, the more barren the land becomes, and gradually turns into the Gobi Desert with almost no barren grass, and it is said that less than 20 kilometers out of Mogancheng is a piece of yellow sand! It can be seen the seriousness of the ecological environment near Mogancheng!
And Du Gongzi saw all this, his eyes became heavier and heavier, it turned out that the environment in the north of the kingdom was so bad, if it was really as Du Lei said, if it was not rectified, he thought that in the future, the entire Rock Kingdom would be covered by a barren Gobi.
"Let's set up camp here tonight, there are still more than thirty kilometers away from Mogan City, but it's too late, rush over the city gate is also closed, take advantage of the sky is not yet dark, hurry up and set up a tent. Tariq said as he looked at Mogan City, which was nowhere to be seen.
"It's fine. Mr. Du nodded, and Lambda also took out the tent from the space bag and began to set it up.
Just when everyone was busy setting up their tents, suddenly a yellowish sandstorm appeared not far ahead!
"The climate here is really weird, and the face changes when it's good. Bedora had never had such a hard life, complained.
"No, it's not just an ordinary sandstorm, it's the earth rhinoceros you've been looking for!" said Lambda, who had rarely spoken, staring at the sandtornado in front of him.
