Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 276 Why is she everywhere?
She pinned all her hopes on Shui Qingqian.

Only when he is faithful enough, sincere enough, and deep enough to her, can there be room for change and hope for everything.After all, Shui Qingqian is the grandson of Emperor Anhe, and Emperor Anhe can be regarded as a wise emperor. He absolutely cannot kill his grandson because of a trivial matter.Therefore, as long as Shui Qingqian's attitude is firm enough and his love for her is deep enough, she can get her wish.

The new year is here, can the footsteps of spring be far behind?

In a blink of an eye, the sun's face turned red, and the water in the small river was splashing.However, the water in the Xiaoqing River is melted ice and snow, which is icy cold, so I dare not wash clothes directly in the river water.Da Ya always asks everyone to pump up the water and put it in the sun to dry, and then wash the clothes when it is warmed up.

The sun came out and the weather became warmer. Daya started to practice martial arts in the field with Zhenxing and Chuqi early in the morning.This martial art also needs to be practiced frequently, otherwise, it will regress after a long time.

The seventh day is Zhenxing's martial arts master, and the ninth, eleventh and fifteenth day are Zhenxing's training partners.Occasionally, Da Ya will also act as a sparring partner, the purpose is to test the true level of Zhen Xing.She was worried that the ninth graders would let the water go, and she was reluctant to take a serious look at Zhenxing, and cultivated a master who was not worthy of the name.

In the future, when Zhenxing returns to his biological parents, he still has a very difficult road to go.His own strong martial arts is more important than the number of bodyguards around him. No matter at any time, relying on others is worse than relying on oneself.

Every day, Da Ya would spare half an hour to tell Zhen Xing about "Historical Records" and the historical stories of China.Understanding and reading these historical classics can increase knowledge, broaden horizons, open minds, and inspire thinking.This will be of great benefit to him in governing the country and controlling courtiers in the future.

It's spring, and Da Ya's most important plan this year is to promote cotton planting.The origin of cotton is India and Arabia, and Da Ya had a hard time getting [-] catties of cotton seeds.

I don’t know how many acres of cotton seeds can be planted with 55 catties. I checked the space library and got the following information: [-]. Cotton seeds must be full and free from diseases and insects; [-]. The seeds should be sun-dried , to promote the post-ripening of cottonseeds, increase the germination rate and germination potential, the time to dry the seeds is generally about [-] days before sowing, and the seeds are dried for three to five days, five or six hours a day, until the seeds can be bitten.Third, seed treatments to prevent pests and promote germination.The seeds can be soaked in water at [-] to [-] degrees for half an hour, stirring constantly.[-]. Drill sowing is generally seven to eight kilograms per mu, with [-] seeds per meter being appropriate, and three to four kilograms per mu for on-demand sowing, five to seven seeds per meter.

[-]. Do not plant too deep, preferably four to five centimeters. If the soil fertility is poor, you can apply seed fertilizer when planting.Sixth, the wisdom of cotton seedlings should be thinned as soon as possible, and the dense seedlings should be pulled out so that the cotton seedlings can grow into a single plant.Seventh, the best time for sowing is mid-April. The April here refers to the Gregorian calendar, which is the beginning of March in the lunar calendar.

Da Ya extracted the above knowledge from the book and told everyone.

Chu Qi was full of admiration: "Madam, you know so much knowledge! Planting cotton is so meticulous, no wonder I heard from General Shangguan that many people in Northwest China tried to grow cotton in the past two years, but none of them succeeded. It turns out that , there are so many details!"

"I also met a knowledgeable old man by chance, and that's how I learned this knowledge." Da Ya smiled modestly, feeling a little embarrassed in her heart, after all, she copied it directly from a book, and it's not the agriculture she mastered. technical knowledge.

"That's Madam's intentions. Otherwise, even if I met that knowledgeable old man, even if the old man took the initiative to tell me, I still can't tell why now. Madam, you are really studious, and you can memorize your knowledge! It's amazing, it's really amazing. Already!" Chu Jiu was also full of praise.

Aunt Liang burst into tears with excitement: "If the cotton planting is successful, Madam will have made a great contribution and benefited the common people!"

Eleven also said with emotion: "Yes, Aunt Liang is right, it is said that this cotton is imported from other countries. Not to mention it is expensive, you can buy it if you want it! Once the cotton is successfully planted , the common people across the country, as well as the soldiers at the border, don’t have to worry about having no cotton-padded jackets to wear in winter anymore!”

"Yes, my country can grow a large amount of cotton, and the price of cotton will drop a lot, and the poor people will be able to wear cotton clothes. In the future, there will be a lot fewer people who freeze to death in this winter! Speaking of it , Madam, if she can grow cotton successfully, it will be a great merit!" Uncle Liang was also very excited.

"It will definitely be successful!" Da Ya is full of confidence.

"Yes, I think so too. Madam can turn the barren Gobi Desert into a tree-lined oasis, and cotton will definitely be planted successfully!" Ever since witnessing the prosperity of Daoxiang Village, fifteen pairs of big girls have a kind of blindness. trust.

"Okay, in half a month, it's time to plant cotton. Now, the cotton seeds have to be taken out to dry." Da Ya said, then went into her bedroom and took out a big bag from the space.

Mrs. Liang quickly went to find some dustpans, and poured the cotton seeds on the dustpans. Chu Qi and the others performed light kung fu and put the dustpans on the roof.In this way, you can get more sun, and you can also prevent being harmed by children.

In a blink of an eye, the cotton seeds were planted in the ground, watered by spring water, and the seedlings emerged in a short time.The tender green seedlings fluttered in the wind, making everyone's eyes straight.

"The seedlings have really sprouted! Moreover, the seedlings are so strong!" Aunt Liang couldn't help but exclaimed.

Chu Qi asked: "Madam, is it time to thin the seedlings now?"

"Yes, but don't throw away the seedlings. We can expand the planting area!" Because the seeds are precious and the quantity is not large, only a very small corner of the huge Gobi Desert is planted.

The seedlings that fell from the time were planted carefully by everyone in a newly reclaimed field.Without other fertilizers, some plant ash was applied as base fertilizer.

Mr. Qiao came back from the capital. As soon as he got home, he heard that the Xiaoqinghe Oasis had successfully grown cotton.Immediately overjoyed, after hastily freshening up, he rode to Da Ya's house on horseback.

"My dear fellow, you are really capable! Cotton is such a difficult thing to grow, but you managed to grow it alive!" Upon meeting, Mr. Qiao couldn't help but marvel.

If she successfully promotes cotton, will the Holy Majesty agree to make her Princess Pingxi?

This thought suddenly flashed into Master Qiao's mind, and he couldn't help but secretly feel happy for her. In his opinion, there is nothing that An Hedi can't look down on for such a big girl!If this is not enough, then this emperor is simply a fool.

Da Ya smiled and said, "Uncle, during this period of time, you should travel around the Northwest and visit more merchants from India and Arabia to see if you can buy some more cotton seeds. If you can, Uncle can also Plant cotton this year. But not more than a month at the most, or it will be too late for planting!"

Originally, it would be too late after ten days or eight days, but Da Ya has a spiritual spring of space in her hand, so she is confident that within a month, there will be no major problems!At most, there will be a slight reduction in production.

"Okay, I'll send people to search everywhere!" Elder Qiao was also very excited and excited.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

The people that Mr. Qiao had scattered around finally came back, and three of them brought back cotton seeds, adding up to a hundred catties.He mentioned all the cotton seeds to Da Ya's house. Cotton seeds are rare and rare, and he knows nothing about growing cotton, so he shouldn't waste it.

"Big ya, my people found hundreds of catties of cotton seeds, and I'll even out thirty catties for you. Please do me a favor and show me how to raise seedlings and how to plant them. Thank you, uncle!" Qiao Da The master said with a smile as if asking for credit.

Wow, give her thirty catties of cotton seeds?Da Ya wished for it!

"Okay, I will follow the cotton planting in Qiao Mansion from beginning to end this year! Uncle, please rest assured to manage Daoxiang Village, I will take care of the cotton affairs!" Da Ya said cheerfully.

According to the original plan, within half a year, Daoxiang Village will be opened in every county in the northwest.

"Okay! You don't need to worry about opening a branch in Daoxiang Village, just leave it to me! Cotton planting, as well as shelter forests and crops, please help me spend a lot of time! Let's divide the labor and cooperate to strive to exceed the task!"

Master Qiao's face was almost smiling like a flower.

At this moment, he had a feeling that Da Ya was just like his own daughter.No!Even more so than his own daughter, she made him trust, feel at ease, and depend on her. She was so kind, made him feel happy, and filled him with infinite hope and enthusiasm for the future.

Thirty acres of land in Qiao's mansion have been reclaimed long ago, and the reclaimed land in the Xiaoqinghe Oasis is at least fifty acres, and all of them have been fertilized.The land of other people has also been more or less reclaimed.It can be said that the preparations for planting are well done.

Now, when cotton seeds come, they can be planted in the sun immediately, and seedlings can be started after only a few days.During this period, the land can continue to be cultivated for other crops.

Regarding the planting of cotton, Daya adopts on-demand planting, because cotton seeds are limited, this time the planting is relatively sparse.Two kilograms per mu, three grains per meter, which is a little less than the amount stated in the book.

However, it doesn't matter, with the help of Space Lingquan, the germination rate of the cotton seeds sown before has reached 1.3%. [-] meters of cotton seedlings are enough, if there are more, the seedlings will be thinned.Before, it was three kilograms per mu, five to seven grains per meter, strictly following what was written in the book.As a result, the seedlings were too dense and had to be thinned.In this way, there is one more work to do.

With [-] catties of seeds, she can still plant seven or eight acres, which already made her very happy!After all, there are seven or eight acres more for nothing, which is a happy event from heaven!
Mrs. Qiao's seventy catties, Da Ya thought about it and tried to plant twenty acres.In order to ensure that the cotton seedlings would never be harmed by wild animals, Da Ya had long ago ordered the long-term laborers of Qiao's mansion to dig deep and wide traps around the reclaimed land.It's just that there are few resources here, and the land is too wide to plant hedges.

The place surrounded by hedges is just the vegetable fields of every household.The vegetable fields of each family are about half an acre in size, all surrounded by thorns and hedges dug from the mountains.The resources in the nearby mountains are very limited, and some troubles have already made the mountain look a bit bleak.

It's spring, and Da Ya decided not to go to the mountains to dig saplings for the shelterbelt.Conservation of soil and water, love of mountains and forests, is already a matter of urgency!

Da Ya said to Shiwu: "Fifteen, you go to Fucheng to see if there is a fruit tree farm on the outskirts of Fucheng, and find a way to buy more saplings and fruit seedlings. If there are hedges, don't let them go. The more the better. "

When Master Qiao heard it, he laughed and said, "I want to buy some saplings and fruit seedlings too, so I'll use the freight cart from Daoxiang Village to pull them! Fifteen and I will take people to look for them first, and when we find them, we'll go to Daoxiang Village in Fucheng to ask for a cart. That's right. , I’ll write you a note, otherwise, when someone makes things difficult for you, you’ll be in trouble!”
