Chapter 272 Picking Cotton



I heard that Gao Tiedan from the county government came with his men after they delivered cotton. The county magistrate and Shi Tou were also with them.

Stone was also curious about what was in front of him. With his parents' permission, he picked up the bag and got off the ground.

Zheng Gaoyi wasn't particularly interested in picking cotton, but looking at the cotton plants, he was so excited he couldn't speak.

His first thought was that with so much cotton, the soldiers on the border wouldn't have to suffer from the cold this year.

He never expected that Song Ning would actually grow it. The Jin Dynasty had always bought cotton from neighboring countries. Now that his Tianxiang County had grown cotton, it would save the court a lot of money every year.

"Er Ya, you've done another great thing for the Jin Dynasty!"

Zheng Gaoyi sighed, recalling how he had heard that Beiyue had transformed from a small, bullied country into a prosperous land that could rival the Jin Dynasty thanks to the guidance of a reclusive master.

Before the Jin Dynasty, they were a force to be reckoned with by the surrounding countries, but in recent years they have been invaded by neighboring countries.

Otherwise, this place wouldn't have been occupied in the first place.

Zheng Gaoyi held his slightly trembling hands; it was their turn.

Then, she looked excitedly at Song Ning and asked, "Er Ya, since we can grow cotton here, can't we grow it in other places too?"

Upon hearing this, Song Ning shook his head: "It's not certain yet, but you can take some seeds from me, and try them out in other places next year."

That being said, she felt the chances of success were slim.

She watered the land with a lot of spring water from the space; otherwise, how could so much cotton grow on such barren land?

Besides, take the rain that fell in July and August, if it weren't for her spring water, it would probably have rotted long ago.

However, there are some things she might not believe even if she tells you; you'll know to give up once you try it yourself.
