In fact, China and Turkey have long been aware of the abnormal weather this year. Compared with previous years, the average temperature during the same period dropped by about seven degrees.
And the temperature continues to drop.
In other words, this year will be a very cold winter, which may even affect the weather next year.
In that case, the reduction of grain production in China will really become a foregone conclusion.
Zhang Sanfen said softly: "Little Ice Age?"
The Little Ice Age occurred four times in Middle-earth.
They are from the late Yin and Shang Dynasties to the early Western Zhou Dynasty.
From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms and the Western Jin Dynasty.
The late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty.
Every Little Ice Age was accompanied by dramatic changes in weather, reduced food production, displaced people, and starved to death everywhere.
As a result, peasant uprisings abounded, and the two monsters of war and plague also followed.
Every Little Ice Age basically experienced a sharp decline in population and then a change of dynasties, without exception.
The situation in the Dharma-ending era is even more serious.
Not only did the Little Ice Age change the climate, it even mixed with the chaos of yin and yang, and the chaos of demons.
The old gods and evil spirits from Fengdu came one after another, trying to seize control of this land.
Who will have the leisure to plant crops then?
The food crisis predicted by Dongyi seems to be really possible.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Dong Yi said with a smile: "I just concluded this based on historical laws, it can't be considered true."
"Nowadays, science and technology are advanced and crop yields are very high. Maybe the Consulate has already had a solution, right?"
I cheered up and said, "That's right. The current China-Earth is not the feudal dynasty of the past."
"Agriculture is developed, and material reserves are extremely rich. Whatever you can think of, the people in the Consulate can also think of it."
"We just have to do what we have to do!"
After I finished speaking, I stuffed all the steamed buns and eggs into my mouth and ate them all.
Zhang Sanfen laughed loudly: "That's right, why do you think so much? Middle-earth is everyone's Middle-earth. If you want to overcome the difficulties, you have to rely on everyone's strength."
"We just need to deal with those hidden enemies for Middle-earth within the scope of our capabilities!"
In his position, he seeks his own government.
We are just exorcists, and all we can do is resist evil spirits.
As for other things, professionals will naturally do it.
Just as he was talking, suddenly a loud horn sounded throughout the entire Demon Suppression Pass.
Qian BuLai's heavy voice came from the radio: "All exorcists, gather in the central square!"
The exorcists stuffed their food into their stomachs and walked quickly towards the central square in an orderly manner.
I looked down at my watch. It was already seven-fifty.
In a few minutes it will be eight o'clock sharp.
It is also the time when the Exorcist Convention begins.
Everyone who exorcises demons knows that the critical moment has come. From now on, whether they will be able to enjoy prosperity with resources, or whether they will struggle in the age of the end of the Dharma, all depends on today's conference.
Immediately, they all put down their food, leaving the messy tents and various domestic garbage on the ground, and walked quickly towards the venue.
The Zhenmo Pass venue was decorated yesterday.
It was an open-air square, and in the center of the square, a red battle flag fluttered in the wind.
Under the battle flag, there is a row of solid wooden seats. Some of the seats are occupied by people, while others are empty.
I looked carefully and saw that these solid wood seats are divided into three parts.
There are five chairs in the middle, with five middle-aged and elderly people in different clothes sitting on them.
Judging from the name tags on their desks, they are the judges responsible for selecting the ten captains.
Among them, I know both Mr. Hu and Qi Zhengyi, who represent the Consulate.
Among the remaining three people, a middle-aged man named Dang Aiguo represents the Governor-General's Office.
A man named Murong Lianshan represented the Supervisory Office and was Qi Wuyu's subordinate.
The five people represent the four major governing bodies of China and Turkey.
He is also the selector of the ten captains this time.
There are ten chairs in total on the left, and they are all empty. They should be the seats of the selected tenth captain.
The ten chairs on the right are all occupied by exorcists.
And they are all famous characters.
Zhang Sanfen whispered: "Shaolin Temple's guardian monk, Master Shi Yongnu."
"Master Jiawu of Daxueshan Temple in the Snowy Land!"
"Taoist Master Kong Mingzi of the Qing sect on Maoshan Mountain."
"Ji's Trading Company, a Yin and Yang merchant in South China."
"The gravekeeper of the Hengduan Mountains, the blind old man."
"..."
The further he spoke, the more shocking the sounds in the venue.
Shaolin Temple, Daxueshan Temple, Maoshan Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Yin and Yang merchants, tombkeepers...
Each name represents a long-standing tradition of exorcism among the people.
Strictly speaking, who among the folk exorcists has nothing to do with these schools?
Even the Zhang family in Taihang Mountain came from the Buddhist lineage at the earliest.
And these people are all special guests of the Secret Bureau.
Seeing more and more exorcists gathering around, the five judges on the stage also stood up.
Dang Aiguo took a step forward and said coldly: "Everyone, please be quiet!"
He did not use amplifying equipment, but the gentleness of his voice echoed in the ears of every exorcist.
With just this move, the entire venue fell silent instantly.
I was secretly shocked, this guy from the Governor's Mansion is a master!
Just listen to Dang Aiguo say: "Now there are less than three months before the Age of Ending Law. After discussions between the President, the head of the Secret Bureau, the Chairman of the Executive Yuan, and the Inspector General of the Supervision Department, it was decided to start the first time for the Age of Ending Law.
The Exorcist Conference of Middle-earth.”
"I, Party Patriot, am responsible for presiding over the convening of this meeting. Mr. Hu from the Secret Bureau and Councilor Qi from the Executive Yuan are responsible for cooperating."
"In addition, the security of the venue will be taken care of by Mr. Qian Bulai, the demon-suppressing envoy of Kyoto, and the order of the venue will be taken care of by Murong Lianshan of the Supervision Department."
Mr. Hu, Qi Zhengyi, Qian Bu Lai, and Murong Lianshan saluted everyone before sitting down in their seats.
Dang Aiguo continued: "There are three things to do in convening this meeting."
"First, form an elite ten squads and provide resources from China to create an extremely powerful combat squad."
"Detailed issues such as the responsibilities and ownership of the team will be announced to everyone later."
The exorcists in the audience became commotion.
Some people expressed joy, while others secretly clenched their fists.
When it comes to funds and resources, who on this land can compare with Middle-earth?
Isn’t it just for these quotas and resources that everyone has worked so hard to come here?
Even if you can't get the captaincy of Team 10, you still have to find a way to join the team.
Dang Aiguo ignored the exorcist's commotion and continued: "Everyone, after the ten teams are formed, corresponding tasks will be issued."
"If the team cannot complete the tasks provided by Zhongtu, Zhongtu will cut off the team's resources and revoke the team's designation."
Someone said loudly: "How to choose the captain of the ten teams?"
Dang Aiguo replied: "The China-European Union will nominate ten exorcists who love this land, have an upright mind, and have high abilities to serve as the tenth captain."
"Of course, if someone has objections to the exorcist nominated by China-Earth, they can challenge it in person. If they think they are more qualified than the other person, they can challenge it after the approval of the five judges and the exorcist seniors."
"If I win, I can replace him."
Dong Yi frowned slightly and said softly: "What if the nominee is unwilling to serve as captain?"
Everyone looked sideways, wanting to see who was such an idiot to ask this question.
Aren’t you here just to become the captain of Team 10, or to join the team?
Is there anyone who is so idiotic as to reject the nomination?
