Chapter 1646, the stunning scenery of golden autumn
For Luo Ji, the ruler, it is a good thing that the farmers are tired, because it means that the food output of his civilization in all realms is very high this autumn.
If this can be done easily, then he may have to worry about the food problem of civilizations in all worlds in the next year.
Jumu City is the earliest grain-producing city in the civilization of all worlds, and now ranks second in grain production within the entire civilization, second only to Gaoyun City, which is blessed by the natural wonders of colorful terraces.
But even so, in the entire civilization of the world, the status of this city is still very important.
At a glance, the almost endless golden wheat fields stretch as far as the eye can see, showing a stunning scenery that can only be seen in the golden autumn.
In a wheat field, an old farmer with wrinkles on his face was wearing a bamboo hat and pushing a hand-held harvester to harvest wheat in his own field.
From when the sky was dark, until now.
Looking at the scorching sun above his head, the old farmer wiped the sweat off his face, then walked to the shade of the tree next to the wheat field, picked up the kettle, and poured saliva into his mouth.
It’s not that their world-wide civilization doesn’t have harvesters that are more efficient and easier to use. However, the price of harvesters like that is generally more than ten times that of this walk-behind harvester. It’s obviously not used by farmers like them.
I can't afford it, so I can only choose to put in more effort.
After taking a few sips of herbal tea, the old farmer standing under the shade of the tree felt much refreshed.
After confirming the height of the sun, he turned his head and looked a few times in the other direction.
Without a watch, he couldn't tell the exact time at this time. He could only estimate in his mind that it was about the same.
Just as the old farmer was thinking this, a figure trotting in the distance appeared in his sight.
"Dad! I'm bringing you food!!"
As the voice sounded, a young man who looked like he was in his twenties ran over quickly, carrying a large lunch box in his hand.
Looking at this young man, the old farmer looked slightly surprised.
"Dezheng, where is your mother? If she doesn't study well at home, why can I ask you to bring food?"
"Mom is busy right now. I happened to be free, so I came over."
In this regard, the old farmer didn't say anything. When he opened the lunch box, he could see three sizable pieces of braised pork. These days, if there was any oily meat on it, it meant that he was living a good life.
After working on the farm all morning, the old farmer's stomach was already growling, so he just sat cross-legged under the shade of the tree and started eating.
The young man who had been trotting over stood there with his arms crossed, took a few breaths, then looked at the golden wheat field below, and then glanced at his father who had been busy all morning, so he rolled up his sleeves and suggested:
…
"Dad, you eat first, and I'll help you cut a few acres of land."
"stop."
Seeing his son rolling up his sleeves and about to go to work in the fields, the old farmer put down his chopsticks and stopped him.
"I don't need you here. Just go back and study for me. The college entrance examination will be next year. Are you ready? Do you still have time to work in the fields?"
"this……"
The young man scratched the back of his head with a confused expression.
That's right, this young man who looks to be in his twenties is actually a sophomore in high school. However, this farmer's child has been helping at home and working in the fields since he was a child. He has been exposed to the harsh sun for a long time.
People inevitably show their age. In fact, he is only eighteen years old now.
"Dad, I thought about it and decided not to go to college. Anyway, I can find a good job after high school. Besides, I have so much work at home and I need personal help. I don't think it's necessary to go to college."
Hearing this, how could the old farmer not know what his son was thinking?
"You don't need to worry about tuition fees. Just study hard."
While talking, the old farmer, who had finished eating the rice in two or three mouths, poured saliva into his mouth and spoke again...
"It's not that it's not good not to go to college. Your father and I are not a short-sighted person. I'm just saying that if you study more, you will never go wrong. Did you read the news a few days ago? Your Majesty has established another
I have entered five universities, this is an opportunity..."
Even though his father was an old farmer, he always talked in one way. At the same time, in the early years, he could be regarded as a semi-literate and educated person, so every time he preached, he stood up
The young people there basically could only listen obediently.
And when he came to his senses, the old farmer, after finishing his long speech, directly stuffed the lunch box into his son's hand.
"Get your things and go back quickly. The short vacation is only for a few days. After the vacation, there will be monthly exams soon, right? Study hard."
"Know it."
Looking at his son's running back, the old farmer stretched his muscles and laughed, then his eyes fell on the golden wheat field.
"There will be another bumper harvest this year..."
----Dividing line----
Looking at the latest report sent by the Ministry of Agriculture, this autumn, the food output of their civilization is undoubtedly gratifying. Compared with previous years, it is 10% higher. This is undoubtedly a bumper harvest.
Immediately afterwards, reports on the grain production of the Imperial District, the Great Food District, the Orc District and other regional territories were also sent to Luo Ji's eyes.
All areas were performing quite stably, which made Luo Ji greatly relieved.
At least for now, compared with the total food consumption last year, the food output of other civilizations in the world can still keep up. As long as this state is maintained, problems are basically unlikely to occur.
During this period, in addition to food production and consumption, there was another number that also increased day by day with time, and that was population!
Although there is a big reason for the problem of population explosion, it is because Luo Ji successively conquered several countries and took over their population resources.
However, the population growth rate within the civilization of all worlds cannot be underestimated, and it has completely entered a snowballing state.
A few years ago, Luo Ji, who had realized that the population in the Central Plains was becoming increasingly crowded, had already begun to build cities outside.
But how can something like building a city be accomplished in just one or two years?
Even the city in the Yangtze River Basin where construction was first started was only half completed.
In this way, even when it comes to manpower issues, Luo Ji, who has always been more merciful, has no choice but to advocate the policy of 'family planning' at this moment.
At least in the next five or six years, the human population within his civilization should not continue to increase exponentially. Otherwise, if this continues, his civilization of all realms may really experience a population explosion.
