Chapter 71 Teaching the Ancients to Plant Cotton to Warm the Cold in Winter
Chapter 71 Teach the ancients to grow cotton and keep out the cold in winter
She checked the history and found that cotton had been cultivated more than 3,000 years ago, mostly in some remote mountainous areas in the west, and was not popular until the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
This shows that cotton has been around since ancient times, but people didn't know that it was planted on a large scale for heating in winter.
Although Daqing is not in the historical dynasty, all lifestyles and clothing are the same as those in ancient times.
She guessed that it was not that Daqing did not have such crops, but that they had not been discovered.
If she could tell them to plant this kind of thing generally, next winter, everyone would have cotton-padded clothes to wear, and they would not get frostbite.
She did what she said. She borrowed Yu's mother's mobile phone and went to collect some information about the cotton, including photos, finished products, etc.
Then she arranged these things one by one.
Sit down in her room, she doesn't know where the curtain is anyway.
Just find a random angle to say hello and officially broadcast live.
"Hello, people of the Daqing Dynasty. Although I can't see you, I know you can see me. I don't know how I can help you. I just found something and want to introduce it to you.
You see, this is it. It’s snow-white. This is called cotton. Have you seen the cotton vest I’m wearing? It’s made of stuffing made of this. It’s spread on cotton cloth in a thick layer. It’s worn in winter.
It is very soft, light and very warm. It is a very good item to keep out the cold.
I solemnly recommend it to everyone. Based on my experience of living in Daqing Dynasty, I know that cotton is not commonly grown now. However, I think our Daqing Dynasty is rich in real estate. This kind of thing must exist, but it has not been discovered yet.
Everyone discovered that I suggest that we look for it in the mountainous areas on the northwest edge. Maybe we can find this kind of thing, which can be planted as a large-scale crop.
I hope everyone can wear warm winter clothes in winter so that they don’t have to suffer from the cold anymore.
Now, let me tell you about the planting conditions of cotton. Cotton is a light-loving crop and is suitable for growing under relatively sufficient light conditions. It does not have very high requirements on the soil. Therefore, I said before that it can be planted in a large area.
Cotton wool needs to be nursed and then planted, and I will show you when they are young."
Xiaoxiao found a few photos on her phone, how to raise seedlings, how to plant them, and pictures of the maturity stage.
So that when the ancients were looking for this kind of crop, they could find it at a glance.
The ancients had already exploded.
"Oh my god, the saint actually knows that we can see her all the time. Does that mean that what she showed us before was specifically to guide us?"
"The saint has never specifically recommended anything to us before. Now she recommends this cotton to us. It must be particularly important."
"Isn't it important? Didn't you hear her say that this kind of thing is very useful to keep out the cold in winter? All saints wear cotton clothes. You can see that she doesn't get cold even if she doesn't wear much."
"Then if we also have cotton, this winter won't be cold? And people won't freeze to death?"
"Yes, look at our hands. My children's feet are so cold that they have sores on their feet and hands. They are all bleeding and pus. I feel so distressed. When can we get cotton to make cotton-padded jackets?"
"The saint said that this kind of thing has not been planted in Daqing, but there is, and it may still be wild. We need to find it first, and then plant it. I remember the appearance of cotton, but where can I find it?
, we don’t have mountainous areas here?”
"Did anyone in the court see what the saint said? They should send people to look for cotton. I hope they can find it. Next year, next year we may have something as warm as cotton."
The court is really noisy now. In the past, the emperor summoned people from the Sixth Ministry to the palace to discuss whether the things on the curtain could be made. People from the Sixth Ministry were afraid, and every time they came, they were disgraced and prepared to be beaten and scolded by the emperor.
preparation.
This time, it was they themselves who requested to enter the palace.
"Your Majesty, please quickly order all the people in Daqing, especially those in the marginal mountainous areas, to search to see if there is any cotton."
Some people were very excited: "Perhaps some people know that this kind of crop exists, but they just haven't paid attention to it. Just like the residents on the seaside, they don't know how to eat the seafood, and the people in the south don't know how to enjoy the fruits."
The emperor also heard Eunuch Li talk about the practicality of cotton. What he was most worried about was that in winter, many people, cattle and sheep would freeze to death, but he didn't know how to make Daqing as warm as the Holy Land.
When I walked indoors, I wore as little clothing as in spring, but it wasn't cold. However, Daqing people have been researching for a long time and haven't invented anything that can do it.
And it probably won’t be possible in a short time.
But if something like cotton could be grown, it would soon solve the cold problem of the people.
"Instruct the painter to draw the pattern of cotton, rush eight hundred miles, and send it to all parts of the country so that the people can recognize it. If anyone can find traces of cotton and let me grow cotton in Daqing, he will be my hero in Daqing.
.”
"Yes Yes."
The ministers were all happy. Finally, there was something that could be implemented to benefit the people.
[The host took the initiative to broadcast a live broadcast to the ancients, asking them to search for and plant cotton, which solved a major problem for the ancients to keep out the cold. It was considered a good deed and was rewarded with a mobile phone, an MP3 player, and three days of advanced weaving skills. ]
Oh my god, my god, she just wanted a P3. Unexpectedly, she also got a mobile phone and advanced knitting skills. The system is so considerate. Could it be that she has too much credit and is an extra reward?
It is much more convenient for her to have a mobile phone. She doesn’t need her mother’s mobile phone to check any information.
During the summer vacation, I also wanted to buy her a mobile phone, but I was afraid that she wouldn't concentrate on her studies, so I didn't buy it.
Now she won't be deserting. She knows how to study hard. If she doesn't study hard, she won't be able to survive in ancient times.
If she knew better, she might have had a better life in Daqing.
It seems that those time travelers had a prosperous life in ancient times, and they could become rich by doing some business on their own. Look at her, at most she solved the problem of food and clothing. The difference is different.
What does this mean? If you have knowledge, you are not afraid of anything.
There happened to be a ready excuse, so they just said it was a gift from Mu Chenjing, but my parents couldn't say anything.
Nowadays, many materials have QR codes. Scan them with your mobile phone and there will be a recording. After she puts it on P3, she can listen to it anytime and anywhere. By practicing her sense of language, her listening will definitely get better.
She is now listening to the audio attentively. After listening to it for the first time, she can simply follow the recording the second time, and she can basically repeat it by herself on the fourth time.
Since the school held a sports meeting, she found that running can also relax the whole body. The air in the town is fresh in the morning, so she has developed the habit of running. She listens to English while running, which is quite good.
