Chapter 112 Sunset Afterglow!The Arrival of the Huns
Can the cotton be picked?After learning the news, Huo Guang was slightly surprised for a while.

I always feel that the suggestion made by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a few days ago is to grow cotton!
did not expect.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to pick cotton.

Huo Guang looked at Yan Yu with a proud figure in front of him, nodded, and said with a smile: "Since the cotton has been spit out, it can naturally be picked. Well, forget it, I have nothing to do today, so it's okay to go and have a look."

"That road is quite far." Yan Yu glanced at Huo Guangxin's carriage with some embarrassment.

This look.

It seems to be asking if it is possible to take her there in a carriage.

Da Nong Ling Yan Yi is a clean and honest official, and the general means of transportation rely on two legs, and he doesn't even have a carriage.

Compared with Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, it is still an exaggeration.

At the doctor's house, at least there is still a dilapidated carriage!
Seeing Miss Yanyu like this.

I can't help complaining in my heart, after all, he is a high official among the three lords and nine ministers, why doesn't he deserve a carriage?
thought here.

Huo Guang shook his head, and said to Yan Yu who was three or four years older than himself: "If you don't dislike it, bear with it, can I go there in my carriage?"

Yan Yu immediately said: "It would be great if I could ride in Huo Yilang's carriage."

See here.

Huo Guang smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll help you up. The chassis of my carriage is higher than other carriages, so you step on it firmly."

"Ah."

After Yan Yumi snorted inaudibly, with the help of Huo Guang, she got into the carriage.

Subsequently.

Huo Guang also got into the carriage together.

In the Han Dynasty, to have a carriage of your own, in addition to money, you also need a certain status.

Especially in Chang'an City, where every inch of land is expensive.

Inside the carriage.

Huo Guang and Yan Yu sat facing each other, looking at Yan Yu's overly bumpy figure, he couldn't help but want to ask this big farmer what Yan Yi usually eats at home.

But then again.

Although Yan Yu has a good figure, but in terms of appearance, she is inferior to Dong Xun and Sang Meiren.

Jiang Wanqiu from Xiaqiu Jiang's family is also more beautiful than Yan Yu.

But in general.

She is still a beauty, but she doesn't have that eye-catching feeling.

"Huo Yilang has been staring at my face, is there something on my face?" Yan Yu found that Huo Guang had been staring at her face, feeling a little sullen in her heart, so she asked deliberately.

But Huo Guang is a thick-skinned master.

In addition, the other party was sitting in his carriage, so he didn't think he was peeking.

Sit facing each other!

That's called normal vision, there's no reason to sit in a carriage by yourself, and you have to turn your neck and twist to make yourself uncomfortable, right?
of course.

I thought so in my heart, and I definitely wouldn't say it out of my mouth.

present.

Huo Guang directly changed the subject and said: "Miss Yan's face is pure and flawless, so there is nothing dirty about it. Ben Yilang didn't mean to stare at you on purpose, he was just curious, how do you know that I live in the restaurant and why did you come here?" Looking for me here?"

Yan Yu immediately replied: "I went to the General's Mansion first, and found out that you haven't been back to live in the General's residence for a long time."

"Well, son of the general, Marquis Weibo of Yichun said that you are here."

"I just came here to have a look."

It turned out that Mrs. Wei said it, no wonder this big girl is happy to know that she lives here!
Huo Guang nodded.

immediately.

He went on to ask: "Da Nong Ling usually has to take care of the affairs of the Yantie official camp, and he is too distracted. Once he told me that most of the cotton is raised by you."

"Oh!"

"By the way, cotton is white dippers."

"What experience do you have in raising the cotton in this breeding field?"

It is different from the young lady who has a businessman family background like Sangmeiren.

Yan Yi is a big farmer, he is a clean and honest official, and he must do everything by himself.

It is said that!

After his first wife passed away, Yan Yi had no intention of marrying another.

After all, clean and honest officials have nothing to say at home.Besides, she was quite old, which woman would be willing to live with such a person?
People are very realistic.

Therefore, Yan Yu grew up in such a family environment.

Although he was born in a family of officials and officials!
But in fact, like the children of ordinary common people, they started doing housework at a very young age, and even shared a lot of things that Yan Yi had to bear as a big farmer.

in short.

Yan Yu is a very capable woman.

no way.

Incorruptible officials are serious and responsible for the affairs of the court, and they are good to the people.

But you can't take care of both ends.

For my own family, it will be much worse.

When Yan Yu heard Huo Guang's question, she said bluntly: "Huo Yilang, I think the mold planting method you mentioned may be a bit cumbersome. There is no difference in the land of the Han Dynasty, and it can be planted directly. "

"Your so-called mold seems to be superfluous."

"Of course, this is a bit presumptuous. I hope Huo Yilang doesn't mind."

Seeing it so straightforward, Huo Guang shrugged helplessly when he said that there was a problem with the way he grew cotton.

How could there be a problem with the method passed down by generations for thousands of years!

immediately.

Huo Guang explained to Yan Yu: "Cotton is like a human being when it is young. It is very delicate. It is not easy to grow in the bud stage when it is planted directly."

"Miss Yan Yu, if you don't believe me."

"In the coming year, you can try it with cotton seeds. One side can be planted directly in the ground, and the other side can be planted in molds."

After hearing this, Yan Yu burst out laughing suddenly, and said, "Delicate? Like a human? The way Huo Yilang speaks is really interesting. How can anyone compare crops to humans, and they have no life!"

"There is no life? Then why does it bloom and bear fruit, grow and wither?" Huo Guang asked lightly.

And ask this sentence.

Yan Yu also frowned for a long time, and finally could only sigh: "I don't know, maybe Huo Yilang is right!"

Huo Guang was an old god and said: "It's not that I'm right, but everything in the world has life!"

"."

"."

The two talked and laughed in the carriage, and gradually became acquainted with each other later, and they were not as stiff as before.

While talking and laughing, the carriage has arrived at the cotton breeding field.

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 fluff.

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

Yan Yu walked up to Huo Guang at this time, pointed to the cotton and asked, "Huo Yilang, you see that the white dippers in this field are already in this condition, can they be picked?"

"Of course you can pick it!" Huo Guang nodded, then looked around, but did not find Yan Yi, and asked Yan Yu, "Where is the Da Nong Order, where is your father? Didn't you call me to come over?" "

Hearing this, Yan Yu said apologetically, "Father said he would come later. The affairs of the Yantie government camp have not been settled yet, and there are so many problems with rice, millet, wheat, etc. during the autumn harvest. Come."

Ok!

A busy person.

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? Want me to pick it?" Huo Guang looked at Yan Yu for a while, and then complained in a low voice: "You can ask Ben Yilang to pick flowers, but cotton picking is fine."

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

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

Huo Guang squatted beside him and watched.

Picking cotton is a simple and hard work.

There is no need to do it.

And this Yan Yu is indeed very capable of work, the two bamboo baskets were filled quickly, and she carried them to Huo Guang's side with great effort, and said, "Look at Huo Yilang, is this white cotton good?"

"Yes, of course!"

Huo Guang smiled faintly, took a ball of cotton from the bamboo basket, and sighed: "Cotton picking is okay, but the problem is how to peel the seeds out of the white cotton, which is not easy!"

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

"no!"

Huo Guang sighed.

This one.

He really has no good way. After all, in his previous life, the cotton he planted was sent directly to the machine to grind the seeds.

Seeing Huo Guang like this, Yan Yu couldn't help laughing, and said, "Ah, there are still things that Huo Yilang can't solve. I thought you could solve everything!"

"There are so many things I can't solve!" Huo Guang glanced at Yan Yu, but saw a bug crawling towards the ear hole beside the other's ear, presumably it was a bug that crawled up his body when picking cotton.

Immediately.

Huo Guang subconsciously reached out to grab it.

It's just that when Yan Yu saw Huo Guang stretching out his hand, she thought he was about to do something, so she resisted and wanted to hide back.

See this scenario.

Huo Guang snapped, "Don't move, there's a bug on your body, I'll catch it for you."

"Whoa whoa."

He yelled.

Yan Yu really didn't move.

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

"Oh oh."

Yan Yu seemed startled by Huo Guang's stern scolding just now, and she let out a dumbfounded sound.

but.

She's not afraid of bugs either.

After all, she is the daughter of Da Nong Ling Yan Yi, so how could she be afraid of bugs.

Coincidentally.

Da Nong Ling Yan Yi just walked over at this time.

And just now!
He heard Huo Guang sternly yelling at his daughter to stay still, and now he found that the other party was holding a small bug to show Yan Yu, so he frowned and said, "Cough! Why did Huo Yilang hold a bug? To scare my daughter?"

"what?"

Da Nong ordered him to scare Yan Yu with bugs?

what the hell!

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

Here.

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

"On the body?"

Da Nong Ling Yan Yi's brows obviously tightened.

Seeing her father thinking of something she shouldn't, Yan Yu quickly defended, "It's not what you think."

however.

There is no time to care about the big farming orders in the autumn harvest season, so he waved his hand and said, "It's not like being a father has no youth, so I don't know what you think? 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 white dipper can already adapt to the soil of the big man."

"Is that right?"

"Can planting be implemented nationwide next year?"

Promote national planting?next year?
Yes it is possible!

But we still need to be a little more cautious, then Huo Guang said: "Next year, let's carry out a national pilot, including those counties and states. The pilot plan will be the same as the cotton in Chang'an area."

"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 yet known."

"Our Han Dynasty has a vast territory, and the temperature difference varies from place to place. Presumably the Great Farming Order is also very clear, and the temperature difference also has a great impact on the cultivation of crops."

At the beginning.

Huo Guang cultivated and planted cotton for three years.

the first year!
Plant it in a small area in Chang'an City, try it.

the second year!
The entire Han Dynasty was piloted nationwide.

The third year!
After finding out the impact of the differences in the planting environment in various places on cotton, we can improve the planting methods of cotton in different aspects according to local conditions.

Da Nong Ling frowned after hearing Huo Guang's words, and asked in doubt: "You just said, cotton?"

"Oh, cotton is white dice, I took it. I think cotton sounds better than white dice." Huo Guang said very brazenly.

But Yan Yi is not a modern person after all.

Listen to Huo Guang's flicker.

He believed it too, and even nodded, saying, "Cotton sounds better than Bai Diezi."

"and."

"Huo Yilang's analysis just now is also very reasonable."

"So, I'm busy with things during the day, and Huo Yilang comes to my house as a guest at night. Let's talk about it while drinking, how about it?"

night?He's fine!

Simply.

Huo Guang cupped his hands and replied, "Then respect is worse than obedience."

Yan Yi nodded, and began to dispatch officials under the Da Nong Ling to pick cotton crops.

Although it is a test field.

However, the Han Dynasty had a large area and few people, and this cotton field was far away from Chang'an City, so the enclosure was large and a lot of cotton was grown.

and.

There are a total of three experimental fields like this.

Autumn harvest season.

There are not many officials and people deployed by Da Nong Ling, so there is naturally a shortage of manpower for picking cotton.

Three fields!

After picking only two places, the sky was already dark.

In the northwest border area on the other side at that time, the people of the Han Dynasty were also busy with the autumn harvest.

Although the drought is severe this year.

However, it does not mean that all the northwest regions have no harvest. Even in some areas where the drought is not severe, the growth of grains is more full than in previous years under sunny conditions.

Some old farmers, with their dolls and women, are busy harvesting or farming in the fields.

autumn day.

The scorching heat of summer remains, so some smart old farmers will wait until the evening to grab the autumn harvest while the scorching heat fades and the sky is still dark.

It stands to reason!
As the biggest hidden danger in the border area of ​​the Han Dynasty—the Huns, the wise and mighty Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty sent troops to the depths of Mobei.

There is no royal court of the Huns in Monan.

and so.

They didn't worry at all that the cavalry of the Huns would rob them of their food.

only?

Is it really?

No one noticed these big men who were busy grabbing the autumn harvest.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun.

Teams of Hun cavalry with scimitars on their waists, with ferocious expressions on their faces, plundered the people of the Han Dynasty without any scruples.
