Huo Guang was in a good mood when he saw that a large piece of cotton fruit had dried up and spit out white cotton wool.

If the planting scale is expanded to the entire Han Dynasty in the coming year, the cotton harvested will help the people of the Han Dynasty survive the harsh winter, and the population will increase significantly.

Yan Yu walked up to Huo Guang at this time, pointed at the cotton and asked: "Huo Yilang, look at the condition of the white cotton in the field now. Can it be picked?"

"Of course you can pick it!" After Huo Guang nodded, he looked around again, but did not find Yan Yi's figure. He immediately asked Yan Yu: "Where is the Da Nong Order? Where did your father go? Didn't you tell me to come over!"

"

Yan Yu heard this and said apologetically: "Father said he would come over later. The affairs of the Yantie Government Camp have not been settled yet. In addition, it is the autumn harvest and there are many problems with various rice, corn, wheat and so on. I can't get out for a while.

Come."

All right!

A busy man.

Huo Guang was sighing in his heart when Yan Yu stuffed him with a basket-shaped bamboo basket and said, "Huo Yilang, it's still early, let's pick some white cotton first!"

"Huh? You want me to pick?" Huo Guang looked at Yan Yu for a while, and then complained in a low voice: "You can pick flowers if you want me to, but forget about picking cotton."

Yan Yu didn't understand the meaning of picking flowers, so when Huo Guang refused, she no longer asked Huo Guang to accompany her to pick cotton.

I just went down to the cotton field and started picking.

Huo Guang squatted nearby and watched.

Picking cotton is a simple yet laborious task.

No need to do it.

Yan Yu was indeed very capable at work. The two bamboo baskets were quickly filled. She carried them to Huo Guang with difficulty and said, "Huo Yilang, take a look, is this white cotton ready?"

"Yes, of course!"

Huo Guang smiled faintly, took a ball of cotton from the bamboo basket, and sighed: "It's okay to pick cotton, but the problem is how to peel the seeds out of the white cotton. It's not easy!"

Yan Yu suddenly frowned and asked, "Is there nothing Huo Yilang can do?"

"No!"

Huo Guang sighed.

this.

He really didn't have a good idea. After all, in his previous life, the cotton grown was directly sent to machines to grind it out.

Seeing Huo Guang like this, Yan Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "Ah, it turns out there are things that Huo Yilang can't solve. I thought you could solve everything!"

"There are so many things that I can't solve!" Huo Guang glanced at Yan Yu and saw an insect crawling next to Yan Yu's ear in the direction of the ear hole. It must have been an insect that climbed up while picking cotton.

Immediately.

Huo Guang subconsciously reached out to grab it.

But when Yan Yu saw Huo Guang reaching out, she thought he was going to do something, and immediately wanted to hide back with some resistance.

See this scene.

Huo Guang scolded him sternly: "Don't move, there is a bug on you, I'll catch it for you."

"Whoa whoa."

With a scolding.

Yan Yu really didn't move either.

So Huo Guang easily picked off the bug for Yan Yu. At the same time, in order to prove his innocence, he shook it in front of Yan Yu's eyes and said, "No, it almost crawled into your ear hole."

"Oh oh."

Yan Yu seemed to be frightened by Huo Guang's stern scolding just now, and she uttered a dull sound.

but.

She's not afraid of bugs either.

After all, she is the daughter of a big farmer, Ling Yanyi, so how could she be afraid of insects?

It's a coincidence.

The great farmer, Yan Yi, happened to come over at this time.

And just now!

He heard Huo Guang yelling at his daughter not to move, and now he found that the other party was holding a small insect and showing it to Yan Yu. He immediately frowned and said with a chirp: "Ahem! Why is Huo Yilang holding a bug?

Are you trying to scare my daughter?"

"ah?"

Da Nong Ling said he was holding insects to scare Yan Yu?

What the hell!

Huo Guang immediately threw away the bug in his hand, moved his throat, and tried to explain.

This way.

Yan Yu first explained for him: "No, father, Huo Yilang didn't scare me, but I was picking cotton just now, and a bug ran on me, and Huo Yilang caught it for me."

"On your body?"

The big farmer ordered Yan Yi's frown to become noticeably tighter.

Seeing that her father was thinking of something he shouldn't have thought of, Yan Yu quickly defended, "It's not what you think."

However.

There was a big agricultural order during the autumn harvest season, so I didn't have time to care about it, so I waved my hand and said: "It's not like you don't have a boyhood as a father. How can I not know what you are thinking? That's all. In short, just don't go beyond the rules."

"Huo Yilang, it's time to get down to business."

"From planting to picking, this Baidiezi can adapt to the soil of Han Dynasty."

"Isn't that what you said!"

“Can planting be promoted nationwide next year?”

Implement nationwide planting? Next year?

It’s okay, it’s okay!

But we still need to be cautious, and then Huo Guang said: "Next year, let's conduct a nationwide pilot, including those counties. The pilot plan will use the same method as the cotton in Chang'an."

"We now know that the temperature in Chang'an City and the soil in various places are suitable for growing cotton."

"But the temperature conditions are not known yet."

"The territory of our Han Dynasty was vast, and the temperature differences in different places were different. I believe the Great Agricultural Order also knew very well that temperature differences also had a great impact on crop cultivation."

At the beginning.

Huo Guang cultivated and planted cotton for three years.

the first year!

Try planting in a small area in Chang'an City.

the second year!

The entire Han Dynasty was piloted nationwide.

The third year!

After understanding the impact of different planting environments in different regions on cotton, we can improve cotton planting methods in different aspects according to local conditions.

After listening to Huo Guang's words, Da Nong Ling frowned and asked doubtfully: "Did you just say, cotton?"

"Oh, cotton is Bai Diazi, I picked it. I think cotton sounds better than Bai Diazi." Huo Guang said shamelessly.

But Yan Yi is not a modern person after all.

Listen to Huo Guang's deception.

He believed it, and even nodded and said, "Cotton does sound better than Baidianzi."

"and."

"What Huo Yilang analyzed just now is also very reasonable."

"How about this, I'm busy with things during the day, and Huo Yilang comes to my house as a guest in the evening, and we talk about it while drinking, how about that?"

Is it night? He has nothing to do!

Simply.

Huo Guang cupped his hands and replied, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Yan Yi nodded, and then began to dispatch officials and people under the Great Farm Order to start picking cotton crops.

Although it is a testing field.

However, the Han Dynasty had a vast territory and sparsely populated areas, and this cotton field was far away from Chang'an City, so the enclosure was very large and a lot of cotton was grown.
