After Ye Zi finished explaining, Edith was the first to ask, "Your Majesty, can this kind of wheat catalyzed by magic really be eaten by ordinary people?"

This is probably the question that everyone else cares about the most, after the Northland Pearl spoke, not only Perot, but even Speer showed a worried look. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"First of all, there is no essential difference between Gold 2 and Gold 1, both are cultivated from leaves - 2 just further expands the yield characteristic. Roland replied with a smile, "Secondly, although it is transformed from magic, it does not contain magic itself, so there is no need to worry that ordinary people will be harmed by it." In fact, the wheat porridge and pancakes I ate recently were all Golden No. 2 from the test field. ”

He couldn't help but think of the controversy between natural food, hybrid food and genetically modified food in later generations. Some people always emphasize that natural food is the best, but they don't know what natural food should look like.

It is a very complicated issue to explain the origin of Golden No. 2 in detail, which involves mutations and heredity of living organisms, and even leaves may not be able to understand the truth. Although her ability can cause plants to change dramatically in a short period of time, she basically needs a continuous supply of mana, and cannot be passed on to future generations.

Therefore, the main role of leaves in cultivating golden wheat is to promote mutation and accelerate its growth - select the ones with more favorable characteristics for planting, eliminate the inferior shapes, and reproduce them from generation to generation, and finally form wheat varieties with extremely outstanding characteristics. This is no different from the cultivation method of traditional crops, with the only difference being that the process is drastically reduced, and the evolution of hundreds of years has been completed in less than two years.

Roland had seen the original watermelon look like — a fist-sized hard-shelled sac with several separate pieces of yellow flesh that at first glance looked like an orange. In the seventeenth century, the flesh turned red and became much larger, but more than half of it was still filled with whitened meridians, and if you dig with a spoon, you may be able to hollow it out in four or five strokes.

In addition, the well-known fruits and crops are very different from what they used to be, in fact, not only plants, but also animals. The most typical example is the dog, a pet that did not exist in the first place, but was transformed from a wolf under the influence of humans for generations.

Therefore, the so-called natural food is the result of repeated manual screening, and if it really returns to its original appearance, it will be difficult to swallow nine times out of ten.

And not just humans, but all species, from mammals to microorganisms, are changing their surroundings all the time. In Roland's view, building a power station is no different from yeast making bread, it is a natural act, because life itself is part of nature.

It's just that these truths are too profound for local officials, and he simply simplified the answer into two parts: "Gold No. 1 is fine if he eats it, and No. 2 is naturally fine", and "If you don't believe it, I'm eating it too." The example of the kings of this era is the best proof of this.

Seeing that everyone no longer had doubts on the surface, Roland continued, "In addition, the grain trade in each city must be controlled by the second-level town hall, just like Neverwinter, prohibiting private grain sales. As for the specific implementation method, Governor Barov will explain it to you in detail later. ”

Count Speer Passy raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty, if Gold No. 2 really has such a high production, I'm afraid there will be a lot of surplus after feeding the people, and the financial pressure on the city hall if it wants to buy it all up." Besides, there are only more than 10,000 people in Falling Dragon Ridge City, do they need to produce so much food?"

"That's right, because the surplus food is not for food, but for storage. ”

"Storage?" she was slightly stunned.

"For the upcoming battle of divine will. Roland said word by word.

In addition to recruiting the population for the Grey Castle, the purpose of his forced promotion of the Golden No. 2 was because of this fateful war - as a member of the peacetime generation, he had not experienced a protracted and brutal war, so he could only prepare for it according to historical experience.

The worst that Roland could foresee was that the population would drop by three percent, and all the young and middle-aged would have to go to war, while all the women and children would go to work in factories to provide supplies to the front. In this situation, it is likely that the farmland will be abandoned and left uncultivated, and if there is enough grain to use for two to three years, it may be able to hold on until the turning point occurs.

He asked the Minister of Construction, Carl Van Burt, about this, who said that a well-designed, structurally intact and guarded granary could store husked grain for up to five years. Although the taste will drop significantly after a year or two, who cares if the food is good or not when that time comes.

After two years of cultivation, crops such as sugarcane, corn, and potatoes have been brought back from all over the world. In particular, the latter two are much higher than wheat in terms of unit yield by virtue of their innate advantages. The reason why Roland chose to promote Gold II instead of promoting it was because of two reasons: first, their offspring could reproduce normally and were not suitable for monopolizing the grain trade, and second, they did not last as long as grains.

Of course, agriculture is an extremely complex industry, which includes not only what people eat, but also what animals eat...... For example, without sufficient soybean feed, there would be no developed animal husbandry, but he can't take care of it too much now, and just ensuring that everyone can eat staple food during the war is already a big project.

Since most of the participants were aware of the significance of the War of the Divine Will, no one questioned this policy of human survival. At the end of the meeting, Roland set his sights on the book, "I would like to include agronomy in secondary education, mainly to train professionals who are proficient in all kinds of crop cultivation methods." ”

The level of education in other cities is far from that of Neverwinter, and he also feels that it is difficult to promote universal education throughout the Grey Castle, so it is better to directly send professionals who have learned to guide agricultural production in various places. In addition, the special agronomy is also a beginning, and in the future, subjects such as chemical engineering, architecture, and medicine will also be listed. It is not required that the cultivated people can conduct their own research and invent a few new theories, as long as they are put into the operation of the industry according to what they have learned.

After the meeting, Wendy brought a new piece of news.

The witches who had explored the ruins in the snowy mountains of the Westside had arrived safely at the docks of Neverwinter.

When Roland arrived at the docks, a figure flew straight into his arms.

The pale blonde curls rubbed against his cheeks, a faint itching sensation, and the familiar smell filled his nose again.

"I'm back," Nightingale chuckled in his ear.
