"Qi Zicheng, the nephew of the former chairman, is currently the director of the Zhulan Meteorological Bureau. He was the one who ordered what happened a year ago!"

"To be exact, the reason for the heavy snow that year was not because of his birthday, but because of the birthday of a female singer he was courting. The singer was holding a private performance on her birthday, and she needed snowflakes for the performance effect. In order to please her, Qi Zicheng asked the Meteorological Bureau to make it snow heavily in a season when it shouldn't snow."

"The impact of that snowstorm was huge. The agricultural production of the entire Zhulan was affected. Not only did many farmers die, but the landlords of Lanting also suffered heavy losses. It was the former chairman who suppressed the matter and compensated the landlords of Lanting for part of their losses. However, the culprit was only suspended from his post for three months and could not go out. Six months later, they found a new excuse and promoted him again."

On a village road in Ganguo Village in the countryside of Zhulan, Li Wei was driving while listening to Bai Li talking about some secrets that even the top leaders of Zhulan didn't know, which was obviously not something ordinary people could understand.

And she did not deliberately avoid this point, as if she did not care at all about causing Levi to doubt and speculate about her identity.

The orchid in the back row was lying half dead, with some oil stains still on its roots. It is true that swill can be eaten, but it just doesn’t taste very pleasant.

"Qi Zicheng is very afraid of death. He also knows that he has done many unscrupulous things and has many enemies, so he is particularly good at winning over people around him. During the years when he was the director of the Meteorological Bureau, the funding of the entire Meteorological Bureau was tripled by his personal sponsorship. Those scientists who came to Zhulan for funding were all won over by him with large sums of money."

"Not only that, he also hired someone from the Botanical Bureau at a high price to cultivate a special kind of hyacinth for him. He planted it all over the two miles of land near his manor. If there was any disturbance, there would be an early warning, and basically no one would have a chance to sneak in."

Levi looked around and found that this place was not far from the Hongzi Village he had been to before. It was also a village specializing in growing fruit trees. He couldn't help but ask.

"So here's what we need to get our hands on to get rid of those hyacinths?"

Bai Li said seriously.

"Don't worry, I know a lot about the city's plans. There is a secret greenhouse of the Zhulan Botanical Bureau in that village. There is a kind of herb cultivated there, which carries a pathogen that can kill most plants. As long as we find one, we can use it to paralyze the hyacinths that have been specially cultivated for warning in Qi Zicheng's manor."

There was indeed nothing wrong with her arrangement. Before coming to Zhulan, Levi had figured out that this place was different from the sun.

Taiyang is a resource-intensive industrial city with a poor environment and low education level, and there are basically few scientists who would live there permanently.

But Zhulan is different. It is a very livable place, and both the plants and the climate are very suitable for this city.

Therefore, the Zhulan government has a complete relevant organization. There are many scientists staying in the Botanical Bureau and the Meteorological Bureau, including some second-level scientists.

There are also those who study biological plants and create all kinds of strange and bizarre plants, which are also very difficult to deal with.

At least Levi had tested the strength of the orchid sitting in the back row. If he was not a level taller, it would be very difficult to break free from its restraints.

But after listening to Bai Li's words, Levi couldn't help but feel curious about one thing.

"Since it is the Plant Bureau, shouldn't it be to protect agricultural production and find ways to suppress and eliminate this pathogen that can kill plants on a large scale? Why is there a laboratory that specializes in cultivating plants that carry this pathogen?"

Finally, she opened her mouth to explain to Levi.

"Zhulan produces 30% of the crops, fruits and various ornamental plants in the entire East District, and thus supports dozens of large landowners. Hundreds of thousands of farmers in the villages below are all working for these dozens of families. The farmers' remuneration is linked to the output of agricultural products. The more bumper the harvest, the higher the remuneration the farmers can get. With higher remuneration, naturally no one wants to stay here to continue farming for others."

"This will lead to fewer farmers, and a bumper harvest will also cause the price of agricultural products to fall. After shipping the crops out of Zhulan, there is still some profit after selling them, but it is too little. The big landowners cannot accept this at all, and they dare not openly prevent a bumper harvest, so this kind of plant greenhouse dedicated to studying special pathogens appeared."

"Once there is a good harvest, the germs will be spread secretly, causing a large number of crops to become sick and die in the fields. The Lanting Grand Council will then pretend to be trying to save the situation but to no avail. This will ensure that the farmers will never starve to death, but also never have enough to eat, and will have to work in the fields all their lives. The price of agricultural products will also stabilize at a high point, and the landowners will ask actuaries to calculate every year how much agricultural products to retain to ensure the maximum profit."

Bai Li's voice was heavy as she spoke; this was obviously an extremely ugly truth.

For the sake of profit and manpower, they actively spread diseases, causing the food that was originally enough to feed everyone to stabilize at a half-dead point. And for one of Bai Li's words just now, Levi sneered.

"Not starving to death, not full? If they really can't starve to death, how did the 400 people from the Sun Come to die? Why does Zhulan need to buy a large number of people from other cities every year to supplement the farmers in the village?"

"Those who grow crops will starve to death because they have no food to eat. Now they no longer have to rely on God for their food, but now they have to rely on people for their food."

The car fell into silence for a long time. Bai Li also felt that this was ironic, but where exactly was the problem? Levi was not confused at all, he just felt disgusted.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

When he first arrived in Taiyang, he didn't like it. Now that he has only been in Zhulan for less than two days, he also has a deep dislike for this city.

What kind of crappy game is this company making? Can playing this kind of game really make people happy?

"Are there any scientists in that greenhouse?" Levi asked in a cold voice.

"Yes, but the experimental subjects there are already very mature. Those who remain are some junior researchers, no big names."

"These people should all understand what the germs they cultivated will be used for in the end, right?"

"I think it's clear."

"Then kill them all."
