Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family

Ke Ji quickly wrote a letter and sent someone to deliver it to the general. Then, he began to arrange the purchase. After some efforts, except for the wolfberry seedlings, the other two seedlings were successfully found. Not only that, the buyers also brought back several farmers who were very familiar with these crops.

Ke Ji looked at the two slightly reserved farmers in front of him. It was said that the two brothers made a living by growing cotton and were well versed in cotton cultivation.

One of the dark-skinned men bent down hard, not even daring to look up at the officer; the other man lowered his head slightly, but his back was straight, and his voice was loud and powerful: "I am Liu Yazi, the other one is my brother Liu Ya, meeting you, sir!"

Ke Ji looked at the two of them and nodded, trying to lower his loud voice, and said gently: "Don't be nervous, I am the deputy general here, my last name is Ke, you can just call me Deputy General Ke. I invited you two here this time because I want to ask you about cotton planting." After hearing this, the two of them nodded to show that they understood.

Then, Ke Ji continued, "Then I'll have to trouble you two! Please follow me first." Ke Ji took two people and walked towards the direction where Cheng Mo was.

At this moment, Cheng Mo was concentrating on following Ban Mu to learn how to wield swords and guns.

"Xiao Mo, you must be quick when drawing the gun, while keeping your lower body stable." Ban Mu walked to Cheng Mo's side, carefully raised the height of his arms, and gave him instructions.

Cheng Mo's face was firm, and he gritted his teeth and tried to keep his body steady. Although his physical fitness was not as good as others, he was able to persevere under the scorching sun, which was already very outstanding. Although Ban Mu felt very sorry for him, he still respected his firm will and choice.

"Master, why don't we take a break for a while?" Acao, who was standing on the side, was already sweating profusely due to the scorching heat and couldn't help but speak up and suggest.

However, Cheng Mo answered without hesitation: "No need!" He stared straight ahead, dancing with the spear in his hand with great vigor.

At this time, Ke Ji led the two men closer. When he saw Cheng Mo was sweating and exhausted but unwilling to stop for a moment, he couldn't help but feel surprised. This young master is really stubborn! Because of the previous incident, Deputy General Zuo did not allow him to follow him out of the camp, so he started to learn how to wield a sword and a gun here.

"Cheng Mo!" the section chief shouted loudly.

"Hmm? What's up?" Cheng Mo didn't stop what he was doing, but just responded casually. The spear in his hand flashed a sharp cold light under the sunlight.

"I brought these two people with me. They are experts in cotton planting. Can you help me take a look at cotton planting when the time comes?" Keji explained his purpose.

On the wide martial arts arena, the two men stood quietly at the sidelines, their eyes fixed on a thin figure among the group of soldiers in the arena - Cheng Mo, who was slightly thin but agile, holding a spear with great momentum. He was seen moving flexibly, and the tip of his spear danced like a dragon out of the sea, drawing cheers from the soldiers watching around him.

After finishing a set of slightly unfamiliar gun skills, Cheng Mo casually took the towel handed over by Ah Cao and wiped the sweat off his face. Then, Ban Mu quickly brought a bowl of water, Cheng Mo raised his head and drank it all, then walked towards the two strong men in front of him.

When the two men saw Cheng Mo approaching, they were immediately horrified and bowed their heads and shouted in unison: "Hello, sir!"

At this time, the section chief beside him waved his arms proudly and said loudly: "This is the young master of the general's mansion. You can call him Master Cheng."

"Master Cheng!" The two became more and more anxious after learning Cheng Mo's true identity.

"Everyone, get up." Cheng Mo said calmly, "Can you tell me how you usually grow cotton?" Hearing this, the two big men immediately perked up and told Cheng Mo in detail about their daily work.

After the two finished speaking, Cheng Mo nodded slightly, indicating that these were not much different from the knowledge he had learned from books.

Then, he turned to the section chief and nodded slightly, saying: "Okay, let's go check out the planting area together now."

Keji led them to the new planting site that had been carefully selected in advance. Because of concerns about insufficient soil fertility, Cheng Mo had long suggested using human and animal feces for composting. Although everyone was skeptical about this, they still followed Cheng Mo's instructions, and now it seems that the effect is good.

The two men walked around the field and after a careful inspection, they said, "The soil here is quite good and can be cultivated. But where is the irrigation water source nearby?"

"The water point is a little far from here, but we have deployed people to fetch water every day, so there is no need to worry." The section chief replied.

The two men nodded to show that they understood. The dark-skinned man rubbed his hands and asked, "Then my Lords, can we start working now?"

Keji nodded and glanced at Cheng Mo, who quickly rolled up his sleeves and responded, "I'll come too."

Ah Cao, who was standing at the back, shouted in astonishment: "Master, you can't do that!"

Banmu silently stepped forward to help. Seeing that he was unable to dissuade his young master, Acao had no choice but to join in. However, he kept chattering non-stop.

The section chief looked for a while and then turned away, starting to deploy manpower to work together.

In the vast fields, people are busy planting cotton. They first use hoes to dig small holes in the land, and then carefully put cotton seeds into the holes. Usually only two or three seeds are placed in each hole to ensure that they have enough space to grow.

Then, people would cover the seeds with the surrounding soil and pat it down gently. Finally, they would pour an appropriate amount of water on the soil surface to keep it moist, but the wind and sand here were strong and water was scarce, so the soil dried up in a short while.

The two men simply built a tent next to the cotton field and guarded the field day and night. Cheng Mo could see them weeding when he came over every day. Although there was a threat from the department-level officials, they really took care of the cotton field very carefully. They were the only two people living nearby, and other soldiers would return to the camp to take over and help after finishing their work every day.

When the cotton seedlings grow to a certain height, the two men will thin out and plant them. They will pull out some weak seedlings and keep the remaining seedlings at a proper distance to facilitate ventilation and light.

As time goes by, the cotton plant grows bigger and produces white flowers. After the flowers wither, they will produce cotton bolls, which will split open to reveal the pure white cotton.

Ke Ji felt a little emotional when looking at this piece of white cotton. These are the future food chips!
