Chapter 168: Planting Cotton

In fact, Yao Ran's answer is to improve everyone's awareness of cotton, whether it is Yao Hemu, who will be punished by himself for a while, or the people in Xinhe'an Village to plant and pick cotton in large quantities to make a foreshadowing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Yao Hemu, as the leader of a town, has no sense of security and often neglects defense work. Last night, I took a few people with me, and easily touched the stockade without anyone knowing, if this is the enemy, do you still have your life now? ā€

Yao Ran's majestic voice, and the fat that shook with anger. is still very fierce, and the Yao Hemu in his eyes seems to have been melted. It seems that gift-giving is also in vain. Still have to be beaten.

"So it was decided that I decided to fine Yao Hemu for one year, that is, all the income of one year will be confiscated."

In the end, this punishment is not low at all, Yao Hemu is a baron, and he will be fined a lot of money for a year. There are only two barons in the family now, one is Wei Mu and the other is Yao Hemu.

And Yao Hemu, who was only fined for a year, was happy, Yao Hemu was afraid of being beaten after all, afraid of pain, and now it doesn't matter if he is fined some money. Because he saved a lot of money in the Salt Lake Fortress, he exchanged more than 300 yuan for paper money this time.

And there are really few places to use money at home, and furniture can't be bought here, so the iron money tree brought a lot to Yao Hemu. Everything I eat is supplied by Yaozhai. Fines are fines, and fines are fines.

For everyone who has just come out of Yao Village, they have begun to gradually realize the importance of money, and everyone has a slightly different feeling about Yao Hemu being fined for a year.

Some people think it's too much, and some people think it's okay. Only it is not said that the punishment is light, and primitive people are not fools, but cultural knowledge is relatively small. The same Lamb, if one day the blame falls on him, how much will he be punished?

"Yao Hemu? Looks like you think the penalty is light, right? Yao Ran asked condescendingly with his eyes closed, the height advantage naturally made Yao Ran the spokesperson of 'being in a high position'.

Yao Hemu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately changed his face and cried and said, "Punish me so much, I was smiling bitterly just now!" Penalty less! Patriarch, you know that I have a lot of wives and three dolls. You punish me so much, how can I live! After that, I sent people to keep watch every day. Ah, no! I keep watch and watch every night! ā€

What I want is your attitude, Yao Ran nodded and said, "You don't need to be on guard duty, you can just be your stallion at home!" The vigil is done by underage children! Set up a children's group, male or female, and organize two people in a shift and five rounds of replacement in the evening, which does not affect rest. ā€

There is no way to do this, although Yao Ran doesn't want to use the children's group, but adults still have to snap, and indescribable work has to be done. There is no danger for a child to work in a walled city. It also increases children's sense of responsibility.

It's all for inheritance, Yao Ran sighed and said, "You don't have to complain about it now, I have a good thing to do, I'll leave it to you to do, it's just a small thing to do a good job of supporting your family, and it's not a problem to feed the people in this village." After saying that, the sinister expression was like a demon who seduced Eve.

Yao Hemu was stunned, what good thing can feed a person in the village, could it be? Yao Hemu's honest expression was the same as a standard emoji, "Could it be that the patriarch discovered the salt lake?" Can I dry salt here? ā€

Yao Ran was also stunned and asked, "Have you also discovered the salt lake?" ā€

"Huh? Didn't find a salt lake? Yao Hemu replied.

"What do you use to dry salt?" Yao Ran asked with a puzzled expression.

Yao Hemu was also puzzled and said, "The patriarch said, if there is anything good, it is not a problem to be able to feed the people in this house." What could be better than drying salt, and it doesn't take many people to get precious salt. ā€

Yao Ran felt more and more that Yao Hemu was really not stupid, who was really stupid if he was deceived by his loyal and honest appearance.

Thinking about it carefully, Yao Hemu heard that he was going to punish him, and he actually found cotton to bribe himself, trying to reduce his guilt. And this kid is very good at reading other people's minds, otherwise how would he know what he likes.

To put it nicely, it's called empathy. If you don't say it's good, it's good to win people's hearts. Fortunately, this kid doesn't have any desire for power, otherwise Yao Ran would have to consider whether to hide him.

Yao Ran took the whip in his hand, knocked it on Yao Hemu's head and said, "In your kid's head, don't you know anything else when you come out of the salt?" ā€

Yao Hemu grinned and covered his head, Yao Ran looked funny, this kid's expressiveness is not bad, and he doesn't have any energy at all. After smiling, Yao Ran continued,

"This is the cotton you found, and the black seed here is the seed of cotton, find a piece of land, and plant this like I planted corn in the mountains, and the cotton trees that are already there are in the right place, and when they are ripe, they will pick them. Each basket of 20 catties is given 100 yuan. In the future, when the cotton tree is mature, the family spends money to buy 100 yuan per tree. Yao Ran said slowly.

But the people present went out of the snow river, and everyone else gasped. Is this cotton so valuable? How can a cotton tree be the same price as ten catties of cotton? Isn't the cotton tree supposed to be more valuable?

Especially Yao Ran's apprentices, especially those who are good at math, Xia Zhi and Qiu Feng still have doubts in their hearts, Yao Ran heard the conversation between the two and replied,

"Because a cotton tree can't produce ten catties of cotton a year." Yao Ran's voice was not loud but could be heard clearly, and Yao Ran was heard explaining to himself.

Xia Zhi and Qiu Feng fell into thought. And Yao Ran continued, this cotton is different from other crops, this thing itself is very light, you have to collect dozens of seeds to have ten catties, but it grows here very quickly, and it can bloom twice a year.

That is, it can be harvested every twelve months, and the annual trunk can be harvested in the second year after planting.

Yao Ran let go of the retinal system and scanned the distribution of nearby plants and checked the yield of existing cotton trees. The results are really gratifying. For some reason, the surrounding forests are relatively scarce, so they give the cotton trees a lot of sunlight.

Let this light-loving plant multiply proudly in this riverside woodland. Now there are no less than 1,000 plants, and each tree can touch three to four taels of cotton, and nearly 500 catties of cotton can be produced in one season.

Five hundred catties of cotton are supplied to the whole clan to change into cotton clothes, which is definitely not enough, but if all of them are collected, it will be enough to start the basic number of weaving cloth for the defense line. It's been a long time since I didn't have underwear to wear. And cotton handkerchiefs, towels, and quilts are all urgently needed daily necessities.

"Take me to see it, and I'll pick a place where you can plant it in the future." (To be continued.) )
