Vol 4 Chapter 33: Yucheng fiasco
Although the crayfish is delicious and easy to feed, it is high-end and atmospheric, and it is a good economic crop, but it is also an out-and-out monster!
When Xia Jinhua got the crayfish from Prince William, he was always careful, and he dug a stagnant pond that was not connected to the outside world, and planned to cultivate crayfish.
That thing must never be released into the wild. Once released, it will bring disaster to the surrounding ecological environment and food chain.
Because crayfish has no natural enemies here, it will grow up unrestrictedly, and eventually, it will have unimaginable destructive power.
After Sikong Jue threw the crayfish into the lotus pond, in a short period of time, the lotus pond was completely occupied by the crayfish, depriving the living space of everything in the lotus pond!
When it was handed over to Jixiang Restaurant, Xia Jinhua insisted that the chefs in the restaurant would not allow the crayfish to be raised outside, let alone kept in running water.
But in the end, they couldn't resist the temptation of the money, and several chefs even stole the crayfish to Yucheng.
Xia Jinhua is waiting for the Jade City to fail this year.
The Xiacheng Daily stopped for a few days, and then published another article. The title of the article is "Too much injustice will kill oneself: Master predicts that the grain production in Yucheng will hit a record low this year, or there will be a large number of refugees."
Newspaper content: "News from this newspaper, Master Xu of this city watched the sky last night and found that the disaster star landed in the direction of Yucheng. He pointed out that it was Yucheng's many injustices that caused the sky to be angry. This year, Yucheng's agriculture, aquaculture and fishery will be It will suffer a devastating blow, and countless fishermen, farmers, farmers and farmers will have nothing to harvest, or there will be a large number of refugees. Below, please see the detailed report of this newspaper..."
As soon as this report came out, it immediately aroused the voices of discussion among the people.
What the magician said was very important in Xiacheng, especially after the siege of the broken city, the prestige of the magician was close to that of Sikongjue and Xia Jinhua. If he said that Yucheng would suffer a devastating blow, it must be true. .
Yucheng was very angry, and the next day, a new issue of Yucheng Daily was published, with the headline news - what grudges and grudges: why does Xiacheng have to force each other?
Of course, the full text is copied from the previous report of Xiacheng Daily, changing the soup but not the water, probably the content is all kinds of accusations of how vicious Xiacheng is, and even cursing them, I believe that kindness is blessed by God, and Yucheng will have a great harvest this year.
Xia Jinhua smiled and said nothing.
The spring ploughing in Xiacheng has ended. The situation is good this year, the weather is good, and a lot of wasteland has been opened up. Visually, the grain will reach a new high this year.
His stomach grew bigger every day, but Sikong Jue still didn't see his return.
The situation at Panlong Pass was as severe as ever, and Sikong Jue would not be able to return within a short period of time.
Xia Cheng's affairs are entirely supported by Xia Jinhua alone.
The spring ploughing is over, and under the bright spring light, Xia Jinhua is clutching her chubby belly, looking very satisfied. Dongnu comes with a bird's nest and sees Xia Jinhua walking around the courtyard. Raising a fetus.
There's nothing going on in the city recently, and Duancheng can't be beaten. Even though he occasionally sparred with Yucheng through the newspapers, Xia Jinhua has calmed down.
It is said that pregnant women need to move around more, so she often walks back and forth in the courtyard, while touching her round belly, she has an unparalleled sense of fulfillment in her heart.
"Madam, take a break." Dong Nu smiled.
Xia Jinhua didn't stop: "I can't rest, I need to move more."
In this era, Xia Jinhua was pregnant at an "advanced age" in her early twenties, and she was considered an advanced mother, so she could not lack of daily exercise.
But she was indeed a little tired. After all, she had two lumps of meat in her stomach, twice as heavy as others. After walking for a while, she was already sweating profusely. She gently touched the stomach and said, "Baby, come out soon. , Daddy will come back as soon as you come out."
It seemed that there were small insects squirming in the stomach. Xia Jinhua was so excited that he lifted his shirt and saw something squirming under the stomach. He was shocked.
Dong Nu was so shocked that she came to put down the clothes for Xia Jinhua, and warned, "Madam, don't catch the little city lord."
After saying that, handed over the bird's nest, Xia Jinhua took the bird's nest, and before he could say anything, the three dogs rushed out and barked at him.
Xia Jinhua's complexion changed slightly, and it seemed that he had missed the shot. He poured the bird's nest down, and white smoke came out.
poisonous!
Huluwa Dongnu and others present were shocked. After a while, they invited experts from the Green Army who specialized in poisoning. After a test, the bird's nest was indeed poisonous, colorless and tasteless. If it was eaten, Xia Jinhua would be killed. It is difficult to guarantee that the fetus in the womb is also dead.
After listening to the expert's report, Xia Jinhua's face was unusually cold, and there seemed to be sparks in his eyes.
It is impossible to harm her, and it is even more impossible to harm her child!
Master Hui reported: "Madam, we have already checked it out. This is the poison of the 'Poison Man'. The Poison Man is a vicious and vicious man in the arena. He transfers money and kills others. If the target is not dead, he will not stop."
Iron Man gritted his teeth and said, "This is the fourth time this month. These gangsters are just too lawless!"
Recently, on the rivers and lakes, a must-kill order has been issued, targeting Xia Jinhua and Sikong Jue.
The kill order is a kind of reward announcement in the arena.
The gold master contributes the money, the killer contributes, and if the target of the gold master is killed, a certain amount of money can be obtained.
This seems to be a shameful thing, but in this Chanzhou, where force dominates, Wang Fa is the most useless.
And this time, the person who issued the order to kill is the City Lord of Broken City!
Since the frontal attack cannot take down the broken city, it will hurt people with secret arrows.
This month, I don't know how many bee pupae came to Xiacheng to take Xia Jinhua's life.
After listening to the report, Xia Jinhua did not speak, her eyes rolled around, and she stroked the smooth hair of Sangouzi in her palm one after another.
Iron Man silently wrote down the name of Poison Man, and will be liquidated in the future!
Of course, the culprit was the City Lord of Broken City!
Iron Man said: "Recently, Xiacheng has come to many famous killers in the martial arts. I'm afraid they are all here to deal with the wife."
"They're here for money, so it's easy to handle. We will also issue a reward order tomorrow. Those who can keep the lady safe will be rewarded." Xia Jinhua said.
The reward order was sent out very quickly, and the wealth and silk moved people's hearts, and it was true. Many killers who were still thinking about killing Xia Jinhua's life also quickly changed their camps, came to the City Lord's Mansion to report, and joined the large team to protect Xia Jinhua.
After that, there were fewer cases of poisoning and assassination. Xia Jinhua also stayed in the mansion and never went out.
But there was a frying pan in Yucheng. The reporter from Xiacheng went to Yucheng and found that a large area of the rice fields in Yucheng had withered to death for no reason. It seemed that the roots were cut off by something.
And it's not one or two places, but a large area of death. When the reporter arrived, they saw that the once lush rice field had become a piece of butter and oil. Accident, I am afraid that nothing will be harvested, and rumors can not help but spread in Yucheng.
Not only did the rice fail to harvest, but the fisheries in Yucheng also suffered a devastating blow. The fishermen salvaged, except for crayfish or crayfish, fewer and fewer fish.
The entire waters of Yucheng are occupied by crayfish, not only crayfish, but also various paddy fields, lotus ponds, as long as there is living water passing by, crayfish are present.
How could the rice fail?
Why are there fewer and fewer fish?
It was only at this time that people remembered the report published by Xiacheng Daily, and they hurriedly turned to read it again. After reading it, they suddenly realized that Yucheng had done all the bad things and was condemned by heaven!
Xiacheng Daily also published a report in a timely manner - the reincarnation of heaven, the retribution is unhappy, and Yucheng is finally punished!
The ancients did not have the awareness of the biological chain, and they did not realize that the failure of rice harvest and the extinction of fish and shrimp was caused by the alien species crayfish destroying the local biological chain.
When crayfish enter the natural waters without natural enemies, they will multiply in large numbers. Since they want to reproduce, they need to eat. That thing is a chore. They eat everything. They will also pinch off the rice, eat the fish and shrimps native to the aquatic plants, and cause the rice to die. Fish and shrimp disappeared.
There is chaos in Yucheng, and food is a big deal. Now there is no rice harvest in one season, which means that many people will starve this year!
Xia Jinhua felt that she was really not kind enough. If she hadn't brought the crayfish, the people of Yucheng would not have been hungry, but at the same time, she was also righteous. It was the **** that Cheng Tanyue did, and it was none of her business!
Whether it is the Lucky Restaurant or the crayfish in the capital, she is raised in stagnant water, and there is absolutely no flowing water.
Yucheng's agriculture has been ruined this year, and it will have to wait for next year if it wants to make a comeback. Yucheng is also a big grain-producing city, but this year has suffered a great disaster.
Just sighing, Xia Jinhua ordered all the waters leading to Yucheng to be closed. Once they see crayfish in the wild waters, they will be culled immediately!
In fact, without her ordering culling, once wild crayfish were found in the wild waters, they would have been scrambled and robbed long ago.
Afraid that the Yucheng side did not respond, causing even greater disasters, or even spreading to neighboring cities, Xia Jinhua kindly wrote an objective science press release in person.
The article clarifies the reasons why Yucheng has no rice harvest and fishery waste. First, it puts forward the concept of biological chain and ecological disaster, and warns everyone not to release crayfish into the wild.
Yucheng was so angry that he posted a news a few days later, which probably meant: Why didn't you say it earlier? You said it earlier! You said you would die!
Xia Jinhua knew that this would lead to such an end, but it was really abominable to watch Yucheng stop harvesting food for a year!
But Yucheng is not stupid, and immediately began to catch crayfish in a large area, and ordered that crayfish not be released into the wild. At the same time, crayfish changed from aristocratic food to civilian food, and the price dropped significantly.
In fact, don't use the person above to say that the people of Yucheng have already started to catch crayfish and cook it at home.
At this time, Xiacheng Daily published a special issue on food, which was turned into a pamphlet, which recorded more than a dozen crayfish practices, which were specially sold to Yucheng.
Yucheng began to export crayfish, and attracted diners from all over the world to taste crayfish delicacies.
The meal business finally recovered some of the losses, but it was only a few. No amount of crayfish could make up for the food that was never harvested.
No matter how many crayfish, they can't resist the ferocity of the foodies. There are special people who are watching the paddy field and river at any time.
After a period of culling, the number of crayfish has finally stabilized.
The crayfish matter was resolved, but many things in Yucheng were also exposed.
A few days ago, in a restaurant in Yucheng, someone died after eating a plate of Yucheng's "specialty" string beans because the string beans were not cooked. And this kind of thing happened more than once. Originally, there were no green beans in Chanzhou. It was the seeds that Xia Jinhua took from Ningshan County at great risk, and they have been planted in the special farm of Jixiang Restaurant. It was stolen by Cheng Tanyue.
Xiacheng Daily published an article immediately - Yucheng has added a debt!
Yucheng Daily did not respond.
A few days later, the city lord's mansion was bombed. In the middle of the night, there was a 'boom' and the roof of the city lord's mansion was blown away. It is said that several people were killed. Out of the crowd, the whole city panicked.
Xiacheng Daily will soon publish a new article - Yucheng, a cursed land!
A few days later, in the Yucheng Grand Theater, the tiger who was caught to perform broke free from the iron rope, ran off the auditorium, and killed a person on the spot, causing widespread panic, a stampede incident occurred, and six people were trampled to death. seven people.
Xiacheng Daily has a new article - Yucheng, add a new soul!
Yucheng has always copied the things of Xiacheng, but in the end it is a copycat, and there are deficiencies. Xia Jinhua has Baidu ability in hand, and he can check if he doesn't know, but Yucheng can't, and many situations have occurred one after another, which has made Yucheng's leadership devastated.
The crayfish have not been culled, the food in the city is not enough, and people's grievances are everywhere;
The Grand Theatre was closed;
The City Lord's Mansion was bombed;
The restaurant ate people and was forced to close its doors;
A series of accidents have knocked down the prosperous Yucheng. For a long time, Yucheng Daily did not publish a new newspaper.
And the Xiacheng Daily was all kinds of prosperous, and began to counterattack.
Last year, Sikongjue got in touch with European merchants through various channels. This year, he bought many fresh crops and fruits in large quantities, and they began to ripen one after another. Specialties and fruit platters.
Xia Jinhua also contacted and signed a few handsome men who came to live in the prefecture of Chan from Europe. Together with the original five-day team, they formed a multinational group. State fans go crazy.
Xia Cheng struck while the iron was hot, prepared a new drama and stage play for the new group, started performing in the Grand Theater, and started selling photo book signings. Xia Cheng's entertainment industry became popular again.
The new issue of Xiacheng Daily, title - Real gold is not afraid of fire, Xiacheng's development can stand the test!
The report has enhanced the confidence of the people in Xiacheng. On the other hand, in Yucheng, the economy is in a downturn.
Especially after the city lord's mansion was bombed, it was rumored that the disaster star had descended and burned the city lord's mansion.
But Xia Jinhua knew very well that Cheng Tanyue had made Zhentianlei to study it.
Deserves to be bombed!
In a vigorous contest with Yucheng, Xiacheng still won, with knowledge, technology, and technology!
Xia Jinhua felt that it was scary to have no culture, so, having nothing to do, compiled a "Modern Common Sense Encyclopedia" and put it down for publicity.
It is all about common sense in real life that has not been studied in depth, and the sales are still quite good.
Xia Jinhua published several books, several plagiarized martial arts books, and an encyclopedia, which broke Xiacheng's book sales. She took the opportunity to set up the 'Xiacheng Writers Association' to support a group of outstanding writers, and published many excellent books. Literary works have made Xiacheng a famous cultural city, and the force has skyrocketed.
Several themed activity days have been held one after another, such as the Pumpkin Festival and the Strawberry Festival, to stimulate domestic demand and stimulate economic growth. Summer City has regained its former vitality.
Xia Jinhua has stepped back behind the scenes. She has already started to cultivate event planning talents, instilling the concepts and methods of modern event planning. After hosting two events by herself, she handed over the planning of events to special team talents. It is a quiet fetus.
Before and after the autumn harvest, the golden rice outside the city of Xiacheng has been in the sky, and there is a strong harvest smell everywhere. The people in the fields are harvesting the plump rice, and their faces are full of joy.
Since the establishment of Xiacheng, it has been a harvest year for two consecutive years!
It really is God Bless Xiacheng!
Xia Jinhua is also in the harvest season here, the little creatures in the stomach are more active, and there is good news from Panlongguan, Sikong Jue is about to return.
The city owner's wife is about to give birth!
Xiacheng was also very happy, and set off a big party in the city to 'name the small city lord'. The street office often brought a large stack of documents to the city lord's mansion for delivery. The city lord's name.
But Xia Jinhua was not stable. The closer the delivery period was, the more uneasy her heart became, and she always felt that something was about to happen.
The experts sent by the Duancheng City Lord are still lurking in the city. Even though there are experts in the City Lord's Mansion, Xia Jinhua is still very worried, that child must not have an accident!
It seems that her worries are not unreasonable. On this day, she just turned off the lights and fell asleep, and a gust of wind drifted into the room.
Xia Jinhua sat up in shock and felt that someone had entered the room, but the expert outside didn't even notice it. She was clumsy and barely touched the knife, but because her body was too clumsy, she was not as flexible as before, and her wrist was immediately pinched. .
There was a woman's low and gloomy voice in her ear.
"City Lord's wife, you've been in this position for too long, it's time to change the slave family to do it!"
Hearing that voice, all the hairs on Xia Jinhua's body stood up!
Bad visitor!
