Chapter 519: The Conspiracy of Species Extinction (1/4)
In the past, gods were aloof, and believers, whether they burned incense or worshiped Buddha, were all acts of unrequited love. No matter how much thought and effort they put in, it was all in vain.
Immortals never give any feedback to believers.
Now, the Holy See has changed people's impressions of gods, not only giving back to believers, but also providing positive feedback. The system's main god has raised fairy bird seedlings, domesticated fairy beast cubs, and cultivated various fairy grass seeds...
For example, there are hundreds of varieties of chickens sold in the Bird Temple, some grow meat quickly, some lay eggs high, some have beautiful feathers...
The most important thing is, it's cheap.
You only need to sincerely worship in front of the statue of the main god of the system to purchase it.
At this time, farmers would raise chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs at home. Those with a wealthy family would also raise cattle. Such large animals could usually pull carts, go to the fields when busy, and support several strong laborers.
There have been laws prohibiting the killing of cows in all dynasties of China. It is considered the only legal protection of animals. This shows its high status and great role.
At this time, when a cow gives birth to a calf, it is more festive than having a child in the family. Buying a calf is more difficult than buying a child.
But now, calves are sold at low prices in the Holy See's Temple of Beasts. Some calves grow quickly and some produce high milk. You can buy them as long as you worship sincerely in the Temple of Beasts.
Therefore, before dawn every day, a large group of people would line up outside the temple, waiting to enter the temple to worship the main god of the system. Those who succeeded in worshiping were happy, while those who failed in worshiping were dejected and would attract many disgusted looks.
What god can you worship if you are not sincere?
Ye Yiruo saw this scene while wandering around the temple and said with emotion, these believers are more terrifying than buying a car or a house through lottery in the imperial capital.
Xi Tong, who was standing next to him, said: "When they discover the advantages of those poultry and livestock, they will become even crazier and more terrifying."
These improved varieties are all mutant spirits that Xi Tong captured from the earth, and used them as samples to fuse them with the native creatures of the Qing Empire to create new varieties.
They have inherited various advantages of mutant spirits, such as easy survival, fast growth, strong body, delicious meat, rich nutrition...
These improved varieties will continue to improve species in the world, and will replace local poultry and livestock in a few years, completing the replacement of existing ones. As time goes by, these improved varieties will continue to spread and eventually spread all over the world.
Conquering a world is easy, but transforming a world is difficult, especially transforming the world's will, and species replacement is the simplest, direct, and effective one.
Just imagine, what would it be like if all the humans in Zhan Chitong's world became of demigod bloodline? The world is no longer the original world, so how could the world's will still be the original world's will?
There is a public service announcement on the earth, which talks about the timetable of species extinction. On average, one species will become extinct every hour.
This is not just a public service announcement, but a warning to humans that protecting species diversity is actually protecting humans themselves.
This is a trick that Tu Qiongdong saw, but no one took it seriously at all.
Xi Tong’s goal is not to replace the human beings in this world, but to replace the world will of this world.
"North American Chapter, do you want to eat sweet and sour carp?"
After seeing the news in the chat group, everyone in the North American branch was drooling.
"Coach, that's not authentic. You know clearly that there are no carp in North America, but you still talk about sweet and sour carp."
Xi Tong chuckled, "You can have it now!"
Everyone on earth knows about the crazy proliferation of Asian carp in the United States and Canada. This is enough to show that North America is a unique fish farm, in the future, and even more so now.
In the past, Xi Tong caught a large number of Asian carp from the earth, including many mutants with long beards at the corners of their mouths and bulging heads, and even the large carp that metamorphosed into dragon shapes.
These mutated giant carp were transformed by Xi Tong into Gyarados, a magical creature that is usually just a salted fish, but when it gets angry, the small universe explodes.
Of course, the fry sent to the North American branch are the product of the fusion of mutant carp and native carp samples. Without the ability to mutate, they will only grow crazily, reproduce crazily, and crazily occupy all living space.
Afterwards, these fry were scattered into various rivers and lakes by members of the North American branch, and a total of hundreds of millions of fry were released in a few days.
Then, Xi Tong suddenly remembered that there are no rabbits, sheep, dung beetles and other species in Australia.
What hasn’t been said yet, let’s do it!
The hometown of crayfish seems to be South America. I didn’t say that the South American branch will start.
Therefore, Ma Bian continued to give publicity and speeches in turns in various places, advocating (fooling) people to raise crayfish and hairy crabs and get rich by breeding them.
A few months have passed, the farmland in Guangdong, Guangxi, Lianghu and surrounding areas has been greatly reduced, and the places where food was originally grown have been transformed into grass fields and shrimp ponds.
Where there is abundant water, shrimp, crab and fish are raised. Every day, people go to the countryside to buy aquatic products. The prices are fair and affordable. You can make more money from raising fish and shrimp in one season than you can from growing grain in several years. Any fool knows how to choose.
Where there is little water, grass is planted. The grass seeds planted are all grass seeds purchased from the Holy See Temple. This kind of grass has strong vitality and can sprout even in the cracks of stones. It grows very fast, just like leeks, which can be grown every few days.
Animals grow faster after eating it, which is exactly the "night grass" in horses without night grass and fat.
As a result, the Qing court panicked.
Because the Huguang area has always been the granary of the world, there is a saying that "If Huguang is cooked, the world is sufficient", and later it gradually became "Hunan is cooked, the world is sufficient". This is the grain bag of the Qing court. However, the grain bag no longer produces grain.
.
Not only that, the Huguang area also buys grain from outside. There is not enough grain from outside. However, the price of grain in Huguang area is high. Grain merchants from all over the country have heard about it. Cars and ships loaded with grain have been heading towards Huguang for a long time.
When I went there I made a lot of money selling grain, and when I came back I could buy Huguang's specialties and made a lot of money again.
There are also grain merchants who have a greater appetite. When they see that grain prices are going to rise, they immediately hesitate to sell and wait for grain prices to rise even higher. Seeing this, other grain merchants put up "sold out" signs one after another.
This year, everyone has had a bumper harvest, and there has been no famine. However, for some unknown reason, there is a food shortage everywhere, and food prices have soared, even higher than in disaster years.
It was the first time in all dynasties that the land was full of hungry people even though the crops were rich and abundant.
The local officials did not dare to take this responsibility, so they pointed the finger at the south and wrote a letter saying that the southern cult bought food at high prices and deliberately hoarded food, causing famine in various places. This move contained evil intentions, and I hope the court will understand it.
For a time, ministers from all over the country wrote letters one after another, blaming the blame on the evil cult in the south.
The ministers who were "persuaded" by Dorgon immediately spread the news and reported what happened in the court. The content was detailed and everything that the minister said was recorded clearly. It was a completely text-based live broadcast of the court meeting.
After Xi Tong read it, he made a list and asked Dorgon to visit overnight.
