Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

After a good nap, the little kid called out to his great grandfather to go to the fields. Following behind were a group of little kids, each holding a small basket. The cotton the Chai family had planted in the spring clearing land was a sea of ​​flowers visible from afar. "Grandpa, put Guoguo down and walk on your own." Chai Zhen said, "Okay." As soon as the little kid touched the ground, he scurried forward, with Chai Zhen following quickly behind him. Xiaodong grabbed Guoguo and ran, while Huanhuan, Hengheng, and Chai Ye chased after him. The little kid said, "Brother Dong, look, these white fluffs are cotton. Remove the seeds and fluff them up, and you'll find something warm. Wearing cotton clothes in winter will keep you warm." "So it really is a good thing." They reached the fields first, with the little kid picking the lower flowers and the little kid picking the higher ones. The soft, fluffy flowers felt warm to the touch. Chai Zhen pulled out his cloth bag and picked all the snow-white fluffs. Looking at the field, there were quite a few in bloom. "Grandpa, everyone in our family can wear cotton clothes this winter," the little kid said. Chai Zhen touched the cotton wool, feeling its soft warmth and lightness, and said with a smile, "Grandpa seems to have heard that this is a kind of foreign flower, an ornamental plant, like a cloud from a distance. But I didn't know it could keep warm." Little Milk Bag: "It can also be woven into cloth, and made into beautiful and comfortable clothes. It's called cotton cloth. The sheet on our kang is made of this material." Chai Zhen: "Guoguo, are you going to tell the emperor that this is a good thing? If the people all wear clothes made of cotton, they won't freeze to death in winter!" "Yes, Great Grandpa." Xiaodong: "Great Grandpa, don't we have people from the Ministry of Agriculture in our village? Do you want them to come and see and learn?" Little Milk Bag said quickly, "Let them learn, and when they learn, teach others so that they can spread the word and let everyone plant it." Chai Zhen: "Xiaodong, go notify them, and tell the village chief to come as well." Xiaodong ran back.

Soon, a group of people followed Xiaodong to the cotton field. Chai Zhen, picking cotton, explained how to plant it. "Plant it in the spring, and hoe the ground every few days. The more you hoe, the whiter the flowers will bloom and the stronger the cotton will be. Start by pruning and wilting the plants. When they reach a certain height, remove the tops..." Si Nongsi listened and helped pick the flowers. Sun Gui also listened carefully, and next year his family would plant some too. Xiaodong thought, if soldiers wore cotton clothes in winter, fewer people would freeze to death and they would be better able to defend their country. Ordinary people would also not die. He wanted to do his part...

Little Milk Bag looked at the crowd and secretly took out a few more bags and gave them to Great Grandpa. Chai Zhen smiled, "You, clever little devil." "Work more for our family. Hehe." The Chai family had reclaimed a lot of wasteland over the winter, and this large piece was quite a lot. After working for more than two hours, all the white cotton wool was picked. Everyone gathered their harvest together, "Hahahaha, so much!" Little Milk Bag was delighted, and Huanhuan also said, "That's a lot!" Everyone's faces were filled with joy. "This autumn will be a bumper harvest!" "Yes, look at how well the land is growing," someone else said. "So much good stuff!" "The crops in this village are so good. It's all thanks to the diligence of the people here. I also noticed that many people put manure on the fields. After asking the locals, I learned that it's fertilizer, and with it, the crops grow well. Now I understand that farming takes work. Fertilize, hoe, water, and pull weeds." "Yes! Hard work pays off," the man from the Ministry of Agriculture said. "I have to write all this down; it's all experience." During this time, the people from the Ministry of Agriculture had learned a lot about farming here, knowing which crops to plant and how to grow them. There were so many varieties, and they took great pains to learn. They would even plant the crops themselves when they returned to the capital to report to the emperor, recording the entire process. Most importantly, they had to promote this work vigorously! They were facing the people of the entire country, and they had a huge responsibility.

Let's not talk about Sinongsi anymore. Chai Zhen took everyone home. He asked Old Lady Li to prepare more dinner so we could all eat at our house. Little Milk Bag asked his mother to find some plastic sheeting, spread it on the ground, and then dumped bags of cotton on top and spread them out. The children picked out the leaves. Xiaodong: "Sister Guoguo, are there any seeds here?" Little Milk Bag: "These are seeds. We'll get them out in a few days." "The cotton-fluffing machine is easy to make. Let my uncle make one. After autumn, we'll fluff cotton when we have some free time." Little Milk Bag continued, "We also need to make a machine to remove the seeds. We'll talk about it later."

In the evening, after eating, the little milk bag returned to his room and started drawing blueprints. "What hard work," the little bun sighed. Chai Zhen came in and said, "Guoguo, is there anything that Great Grandpa can do?" "Yes, Great Grandpa, take a rest first, for a while." The little milk bag smiled and put his mouth to Great Grandpa's ear, "Harvest the grain tonight!" Chai Zhen understood. "Okay, okay, Great Grandpa, take a rest. Do you want your third uncle to help?" The little bun said: "Okay, third uncle, Great Grandpa and Brother Xiaodong, well, it's just the three of us." "Okay. Is there anything else to prepare?" "Great Grandpa, no need."

"Okay, great grandfather, go tell your third uncle, you're busy." Chai Zhen was happy, busy but happy, a big harvest! This is food! His family has more than enough food to eat. He hurried to find Jiale.

Little Milk Bag finished drawing the blueprint and took it to Li Dong. "Uncle, take a look and see if you understand it." Li Dong took it. "A seed remover," he said. "That's easy to make." Another one, a cotton fluffing machine, was also easy. Li Dong looked at it and said, "It's doable. Uncle understands it." Little Milk Bag: "No rush. Wait until autumn, when you're not busy. You can make it. It won't interfere with making cotton-padded clothes for the winter." "Okay, Uncle will do it after autumn." Uncle walked you home, picked up Little Milk Bag, and went back to Chai's house. When they reached the door, Little Milk Bag got down to the ground and said, "Uncle, I'll go back. Guoguo can go in by yourself." "Okay, Uncle will watch you." The little bun walked steadily into the house with his short legs. Li Dong then went home. As soon as he got home, he set about building the seed remover. He began to work on it alone. ...
