Chapter 223: I'm about to reach the peak of my life
She couldn't help but think that it would be nice if there was cotton. Cotton is easy to grow on a large scale, and the price is certainly not expensive.
And there is cotton, although it is not as warm as a down jacket, but it is much warmer than the current catkins and straw mats.
At the very least, there is cotton, and because it is too cold every winter, fewer people can pass away. Although Miaomiao claims to be not a virgin, she just wants to be a salted fish and take care of her own affairs.
But if you do what you can, you can save some lives. Then she is also willing.
Miao Miao wanted Huihui to help find cotton seeds, or cotton seedlings. But one is too inefficient, and one of the most important things is that.
It's just that Miaomiao has never been in the ground, let alone seen cotton. Although I have read it in the book a few times, I have long forgotten it now.
Not to mention drawing a portrait that looks like cotton, like the other protagonists. It's a description, and she doesn't know how to describe it.
Could it be, "It's the one, the white, soft, cloud-like thing?" ”
"And this is still after flowering, I don't know what the seedlings and seeds look like?"
These words, let Miao Miao say something. Even if she is cheeky enough to say it, how many people will be able to find it?
Sure enough, I'm not the heroine of the legend, don't say it's not good to say it. Miao Miao secretly slandered herself, and at the same time gave up this idea.
Fortunately, there is a salted fish system, and Miaomiao simply bought cotton fry in the salted fish system. It's not expensive at all, it's very cheap. There are actually 3,000 cotton seedlings in fifty trading coins.
This cotton seems to have been improved, and it is still improved in advance. Although Miao Miao doesn't know much about growing cotton, she also knows that the growth cycle of cotton is one year.
Generally, as with most crops, spring is planted and autumn harvested. But this cotton seedling is different, not only the growth cycle is only three months, but also the time is not very limited.
Except for winters that are too cold to sow seeds, you can plant them almost anytime in spring, summer, and autumn. The cold resistance of this cotton has also been improved and is very frost resistant. As long as it is before the cold winter, the harvest will be fine.
If you start planting now, you might be able to catch up with the stubble. Before winter, you might be able to use it. Moreover, this cotton seedling is not only very advanced and convenient, but also equipped with specific planting instructions, herbicides and fertilizers.
However, although Miaomiao is excited, she is also anxious to grow cotton as soon as possible to benefit the world. But Miaomiao still held back and did not place an order. Instead, I added the cotton seedlings to the shopping cart first.
After all, this cotton seedling is not like the previous orchid, just find a flower pot. And it's 3,000 plants, and the instructions say that these are the amount of one acre of land.
So whatever, Miaomiao also has to prepare an acre of land to plant this cotton. Moreover, although the salted fish system has helped the buyer, it saves the need to cultivate seedlings and transplant new seedlings directly.
But Miao Miao had never done farm work after all, although she did grow rare orchids well. But also with the help of spiritual spring water. But this cotton, it's not so easy.
Not to mention how much spiritual spring water will be consumed by these thousands of cotton plants. Even if Miao Miao didn't feel sorry for so many trading coins (which was impossible), the matter of these cotton was not only a matter of one acre of land in front of her.
In the future, it will be promoted, if others ask how to plant. How can it be explained? Besides, Miaomiao is not short of money now.
She plans to buy an acre of good land and find a farmer who is good at this to serve the cotton. It's just that whether it is the land or the old farmers, it must be carefully selected.
Miaomiao also doesn't know anything about these things, and I'm afraid that it will be too late and I won't be able to catch up with this year's harvest if I delay it. Because in Miaomiao's opinion, Gu Nianyuan is now at a critical moment, so it is not good to disturb him.
Although the farmer said, Qingniang could ask Butcher Mo to help ask. But the matter of cotton, I couldn't think of it before.
Now that she plans to plant it, Miaomiao hopes that the people at the bottom will have a better life. She herself also has some selfish motives.
Miao Miao recalled that in the novels I had read before, those who traveled through relied on taking out things that were beneficial to the country, those who were promoted to get rich, and those who were rewarded by the emperor abounded.
Of course, all this is on the premise that the emperor is more holy, at least cares about the people. Miaomiao recalled, whether it was in the original memory or the content of the original novel, the current Emperor Jingming. They are all good emperors.
During his reign, he attached great importance to people's livelihood. Although, many official families think that he is too authoritarian and ruthless.
But the common people and officials from poor families still have a good opinion of this emperor.
It's not written in the novel, but it's in the memory of the original body. But there are some memories related to wealthy families. Although in the memory of the original body, I only felt that those nobles were extraordinary, and they were dressed in wealth and luxury.
The respectful attitude of the people below towards those people made the original body even more envious. But Miao Miao can see from those scenes that most of the wealthy families are not good people.
He took most of the fertile land into his own hands, and gave the second field to the common people as fertile land. The common people planted the second field, and they had to pay the tax on the good land, which most families have done.
Regardless of the life and death of the common people, they only know their own pleasures, and most of these families are very disgusting to Miaomiao.
In my memory, Emperor Jingming issued a decree and sent people to re-record the distribution of various types of fields. The original body didn't understand, but Miaomiao understood that Emperor Jingming was sorting out the specific division of Liangtian and Jitian to avoid this kind of thing from happening again.
These families hate Emperor Jingming, and it must also have something to do with him touching the interests of the wealthy families and not buying their accounts. Miaomiao, however, thinks that this Emperor Jingming is still a good emperor to the common people.
Therefore, when the cotton is harvested, she plans to dedicate it to Emperor Jingming. At that time, Gu Nianyuan estimated that he also had some ability.
Miaomiao thought about asking Gu Nianyuan to help dedicate it to the emperor, whether it was to promote Gu Nianyuan or reward herself.
So Miaomiao attaches great importance to these cottons, and she thinks it's better to buy one. Although some are not used to this kind of slavery, Miaomiao also knows that only in this way is the safest.
Miao Miao is not very good at these things, so she thought about it and talked to Qingniang, and went to the town to find Huihui.
Miaomiao told Huihui about the land she wanted to buy and the farmers. Seeing that Miaomiao was a little inconvenient to say, Huihui didn't ask much, and directly responded to this matter.
Within two days, it started to rain. This rain lasted for several days at a time. And the weather, as Qing Niang said, began to get less hot. Even in the morning and evening, it was already a little cold.
Moreover, at this time, the new quilt that the mother and daughter made for Gu Nianyuan was also ready. Therefore, Miao Miao is very grateful for this rain.
On the other hand, Mama Zheng and her party caused a lot of trouble because of this rain.
