章 127: State Of Affairs

The reconstruction period had begun and many of the peasantry and former families of the nobles who were executed were placed into work. 

The surrounding land around the Fortress City  comprised of a network of little canals that watered the farmlands. The farmlands grew a variety of crops, mainly wheat. 

One had inquired with the local farmers about rice, a type of grain that could be served as a means of feeding more people. 

The farmers, however, weren't aware of any 'rice' or grain that was similar to it. 

One knew about the importance of rice back on Earth, it was a staple of many cultures with large populations, it was healthy, easy to grow, and could be mass produced.

It could be eaten with almost anything, from meat to vegetables. It was the perfect food type in place of grain.

One now needed to 'make' something similar to rice. To do so, he would need to gather plants with awkwardly similar genomes or DNA.
