Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 402 Planting, Waking Up

Li Shimin left in a hurry, but Shu An didn't care, anyway, Li Shimin would bring the edict of knighthood later.

Even though he got it with his own guarantee, Shu An thought it was worth it. After all, he was going through life and death, and he just paid some of this reward in advance for Wang Xuance.

"We have to start getting people ready to plant."

Shu An murmured softly, with the end of the new year, the beginning of spring is not far away.

Not much happened this winter, and of course it was impossible for anything to happen, because there was a lot of snow.

After all, he is a mortal and has no special powers to change anything.

Although technology can indeed change, but unfortunately, at the current level, even if it takes another 1000 years, it will not be able to change the sky.

Of course, even planting Shu'an is destined to be unable to pay attention to these cottons every day, so I can only write down the main points of planting cotton in my memory before traveling.

Needless to say, there are some weeding and pest control, mainly field management to maintain the height of cotton plants.

In addition, cotton needs water for a period of time, around June and July, and Shu An can only remember the things in his memory vaguely.

After all, he had never grown cotton before crossing, but he had only heard it said a few times, so he remembered a few points.

The specific situation is definitely not that easy, and it is best to grow cotton in the south.

The reason is simple. The temperature in the north is still a little lower, so choosing a location is also a problem.

There is cotton in this era, but it is silk, which can't play a role in keeping warm at all. On the contrary, cotton is different.

Although one radical is different, the actual meaning is quite different.

"Anyway, it definitely can't be planted in Chang'an."

Shu An soon had an idea that it was enough to hire some farmers to grow cotton, and he didn't care how Li Shimin planted it.

After all, he was not the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty. Anyway, the Song Dynasty, 300 years later in history, could plant it, so there is no reason that the Tang Dynasty could not.

As for the seeds left behind, it is naturally Shu An's selfishness, and he can't make any money by busying himself.

Although Shu An has the mission of a sage, it doesn't mean he is a sage.

Contrary to Shu An's idea, as soon as Li Shimin returned to the palace, he asked people to keep these seeds, and even let Baiqi's guards take care of them personally.

Of course, Li Shimin did not forget to issue an imperial decree, just a county man, this emperor can still call the shots.

"Come here, let the household department come over."

In addition, Li Shimin naturally began to arrange to plant this so-called cotton, wanting to know what is different from cotton.

Not many people in the court knew about this matter, even if the dead cotton seeds were obtained from An Xuangong, no one knew.

Otherwise, it would definitely not be as peaceful as it is now, after all, every time Shu An did something, it was not easy.

It's a pity that no one knew that this emperor had the habit of leaving the palace early in the morning.

As for the county man, no one has noticed yet, such a small title will not cause too many fluctuations.

It wasn't until the setting sun was about to set that Wang Xuance woke up, and Shu An came to Wang Xuance's room the first moment he heard the news.

"Teacher, I'm back... coming..."

Wang Xuance's pale face squeezed out a smile and said, it seems that because his teacher is gentle and likes to laugh, he is also used to it.

From the southwest to Chang'an, according to Wang Xuance's estimate, he should be able to support it. Unexpectedly, an astonishing heavy snow messed up all the plans.

Even Wang Xuance felt a little scared when he thought about it now, but fortunately he came back and saw so many familiar faces again.

"It's good to be back, and the cotton seeds have already been received by the teacher."

"Although cotton needs a year to verify, a county man has been won for you now."

"In the end, I'm afraid that you won't be able to go back to your hometown this year. After all, it's not easy to go back with this appearance."

Shu An also smiled and said, with a lot of emotion in every sentence.

As soon as possible, he has covered up a lot, but the people around him can still feel that the master is not a person without feelings, he just doesn't want to express it.

Wang Xuance also laughed happily when he heard his teacher's words, he did not expect such a big change in his identity.

The county male seems to be good too. It takes a lot of time to know how many people want to go from zero to rich.

It was for this reason that Wang Xuance didn't feel any dissatisfaction at all, and even felt that he had taken advantage of it.

After all, normally speaking, his life would not be in danger, but the budget error made him not fully prepared.

"Teacher, there is also the art of making sugar."

However, Wang Xuance did not forget that his teacher still had another task to explain.

You must know that in order to obtain this method, he did not know how many Tianzhu people were knocked out, but fortunately, everything was worth it.

"Don't worry about this matter, it will be fine when you recover."

Shu An made his voice out, apparently mainly cotton seeds. As for the technique of making sugar, it is not necessary, and there is not that much demand.

The current gray sugar is sugar anyway, although the purity is not high, it is barely acceptable to Shu An.

It's just that Wang Xuance shook his head slightly, and there was a trace of firmness in his eyes. He was afraid that he would forget next time, so he had to say it now.

"Okay, don't be too forceful."

But Shu An understood the meaning in this disciple's eyes, and said with a sigh.

Afterwards, Shu An asked Laifu to bring paper, ink, pens and inkstones. Although Tianzhu was a foreign land for Tang Dynasty, it must be said that there were still many good things.

After all, Tianzhu was once one of the origins of ancient civilizations, and there is still some heritage in ancient India.

"Tianzhu Sugar is sucrose."

"Squeeze the juice from sugar cane and make it into syrup."

"Boiled over fire into stone-like lumps of sucrose."

Wang Xuance seemed to use all his strength to speak out, this time it was very clear.

On the other side, Shu An was writing furiously, writing down everything that this disciple said.

This is the helplessness of being a liberal arts student. He still remembers that he ate a lot of white sugar secretly when he was a child, but how to make it and how the craftsmanship is, I'm sorry I don't know.

Although helpless, fortunately, it can be regarded as making up for it now. With this method, Datang also started to make sucrose.

When Wang Xuance finished speaking, he fell into a coma again.

After going through some confusion again, fortunately, Sun Simiao was relieved after he came and indicated that there was no problem.
