Chapter 970: What grudges are there
"Sir..." The old man took two steps on his knees and just as he spoke, a high-pitched cry came from above.
"Don't listen to him! Sir! They are all mobs! If the adults hadn't arrived in time, I don't know what would have happened to Os City! Sir! You must not believe the rumors of such crazy people!"
Lin Fan looked up and saw a small head protruding from the wall, shouting at the top of his lungs. Seeing the attention of the people on the bullock cart, he immediately stretched out his hands and bowed: "This villain is Hafez, the city commander of Os City. I would like to welcome you all!"
It's you, kid! Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, retracted into the hood of the car, moved next to Bin Ze, and said gently to the old man kneeling on the ground: "Ignore him, you have your say."
"Aiya," the old man said with tears in his eyes, "By God, finally someone can make the decision for us! We are not a mob, we are farmers from a nearby town. We were forced to attack the city out of righteous indignation. That Hafiz dog We can't survive because of the indifference of officials. We can only break down the door and ask him for an explanation."
"What did he do?" Antonio had already walked to the back of the car and stood with his back to Binze. position, still holding a branch for driving cattle.
“He asked people to sprinkle salt on our fields!” The old man burst into tears when he said this, “My lord, my lord! All our good crops have been dried up!”
The people kneeling around him sobbed, and many even wiped away tears.
“We don’t know how to do anything else, and we only rely on the harvest of looking at the sky to survive. The crops are dead, and half a year’s hard work has been wasted. That’s it, our arms can’t twist the thighs, how can ordinary people compete with the officials? Talking about right and wrong? If this doesn't work, there will be another one." The old man fell to the ground and cried, "But who could have imagined that Hafez..."
The old man was sobbing, and it was obvious that he was very sad, but he still tried his best to control his emotions and wanted to finish speaking quickly.
“He actually took advantage of the rainy season to spread salt on our fields! The once fertile land is now barren of grass, and it is all dead land, and nothing can be grown. We, the people who live off the land, have no land. It’s a dead end. We asked the dog officer for an explanation countless times, but we couldn’t even see him! We really had no choice!”
After saying this, the old man burst into tears, along with the others. They all mourned.
"The consequences of spreading salt on the soil are so serious?" Antonio asked in a low voice with half of his body stretched into the hood of the car, holding the cushion with one hand. "How do I remember that spreading salt improves soil quality? It can also repel insects?"
"It depends on how much you sprinkle!" The encyclopedia printed in Lin Fan's mind finally came into play again, "Leave aside the dose and talk about the effect. They are all taken out of context.”
"Salt can indeed improve soil quality, but the prerequisite is that the land is saline-alkali land that needs to be improved. That is the 'salt water freezing irrigation' technology specially developed to save fresh water resources. When irrigated in winter, salt water freezes, and the next year During rejuvenation, the different freezing points of salt water and fresh water will cause the salt water to melt into the ground first, bringing the salt into the ground, and the fresh water will melt and further dilute the salt, achieving surface desalination, thereby promoting plant growth."
"That's just. Saline-alkali land management methods are not applicable to ordinary land. However, the salt often mentioned in farming is actually a plant growth agent similar to compound fertilizer. Spreading edible salt will not have any auxiliary effect. If it is too much, it will not work. It will cause the crops to dehydrate and dry out. ”
“Excessive salt will destroy the original healthy soil structure, causing the soil to be too salty and the pH value will also increase. When the pH value exceeds 9.5, no plants can survive. Survive in such soil conditions.”
“From what he said, this seems to be the case.” Lu Xinyuan also climbed in, “So many people, I don’t know how much land, use food. Sprinkle salt into a strong alkaline ground... Good guy, what kind of hatred and resentment does this dog official have! Not to mention the trouble, given their living conditions, salt should not be cheap, right?"
"In this case? , do you have any answers? "As a master of cultivating immortals, Xing Ze is obviously not very familiar with crops.
"It depends on the degree of salinity of the soil." Lin Fan whispered to his colleagues, "Generally, saline-alkali land is formed by the penetration of groundwater salt and accumulation on the surface. There are salt-tolerant and alkali-tolerant crops on Lanxing. , can be planted in light or moderate saline-alkali land to improve the soil environment. In other words, the water conservancy method of irrigation and drainage is still used to reduce the salt content in the soil and improve the water retention and fertility of the soil. But with their current productivity... it’s hard to say.”
< br>Freshwater resources are scarce resources wherever they are. Lin Fan was not sure if they had enough fresh water resources to save their land.
Moreover, there is another way to save the city. They attacked the city this time, obviously hoping to get an explanation from Hafez.
I don’t know what the land division system is like here. If Hafez can give them a piece of land that can be cultivated, I think these people may not go to great lengths to save the original farmland. After all, Their goal is actually to farm and survive.
But this is obviously impossible!
No matter what the reason was for Hafez to do this, it was obviously to kill these people. How could it be possible to give them a way out? He didn't even give these poor people a word of truth, so they still don't know why they suffered this unreasonable disaster.
No one is a believer. Generally speaking, the truth can only be revealed through confrontation between the two sides. But because of little Irene's incident, their impression of Hafez was extremely bad.
But now... what can they do?
Most normal people would have sympathy for the weak, and Lin Fan had already begun to wonder if he could do anything to help them.
Saline-alkali land... plants, weather...
She glanced at Antonio, then quickly looked away. "What's wrong?" Antonio naturally found out. "What do you want me to do?"
Lin Fan shook his head, "No need for now, you can't do it yet."
"Hey~" Antonio was not convinced. "Why can't it be done? Why don't you tell me how to try it?"
"Can your power extract the salt from the soil? Or can fresh water go in and salt water come out?" Lin Fan saw him If you don’t believe it, just say it directly.
"Uh..." Antonio paused.
After his powers emerged from Tiandu Xing’s consciousness, they have been growing slowly and are still at the level of a beginner. He has never tried this kind of control method. Even if it can be successful, the area should not be too large.
Looking at the farmer kneeling on the ground, I’m afraid he won’t be able to finish it even if I squeeze him dry!
It suddenly occurred to Antonio that his own abilities were at the bottom among several people.
Xingze won’t say it anymore. As long as he is willing, the damaged golden elixir will also be a true immortal.
Even if Melinir has reached the sixth level, this little brother Lu Xinyuan is no less generous.
Lin Fan... What is more terrifying than her bracelet is her thunder!
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt unhappy. I stood up straight and hugged my weak self tightly.
"Huh? Anton has water powers?" This was the first time that Rui Ze knew that Antonio had supernatural powers. He had seen his mecha before and had never thought that he could have supernatural powers.
"Yes, Brother An is from the water element, I am from the gold element, and Merlin is from the ice element." Lu Xinyuan said with a smile. "Lin Jian is the most powerful of all series!"
Bin Ze turned his eyes to Lin Fan, completely unable to see that she could actually have supernatural powers, but thinking about the huge energy she hid, it seemed natural...
"No, no, no," Lin Fan waved his hand quickly, "My They are all insignificant, entry-level, and not worth mentioning. Anton and I are both novices when it comes to superpowers, so we need to take more care of them."
Antonio felt unreasonable when he heard what Lin Fan said. Better.
Lu Xinyuan wanted to say something more, but there was a "rumbling" sound behind him.
Everyone followed the sound and the closed city gate slowly opened a crack, and a head cautiously poked out.
Seeing the people on the carriage looking at him, he suddenly wailed: "Sir, you must not be deceived by the unruly people and believe their words! Everyone in Aos City can prove that I am a good city commander. Ah!”
He cried out, with a painful expression on his face. Unfortunately, there was only thunder but no rain, and even his body was not exposed.
"Don't worry, we are fair." Antonio pulled the branch in his hand and said sarcastically: "Now, you can defend yourself."
Found a mistake.
The one who boarded the Noah was his youngest son Lu Xinyuan, a person with metal powers.
I have written these chapters as his brother Lu Yuhao. Oops, that’s true.
I changed it this afternoon, it doesn’t affect the plot, it’s just that the name is wrong.
Careless pinching, hey hey hey.
