Chapter 255 Planting 23 Cotton Plants
When the cotton buds became energetic, Zhao Sitian and Wu Sinong wished they could sleep in the field for twelve hours.
The ten pots of cotton plants that were brought to the capital were also presented to Emperor Ruijing by Wu Dajian.
Emperor Ruijing circled around it several times, not daring to touch it, and asked several times, "Is this cotton?"
Wu Dajian responded respectfully, "Yes, this is the cotton plant."
"Quick, go call the Minister of Agriculture to the palace and plant these cotton plants."
A young eunuch took the order and left.
Wu Dajian handed over the cotton planting method written by Qing Ning and said, "Your Majesty, this is the planting method given by Miss Qing Ning."
Emperor Rui Jing took it and opened it to take a closer look. Although he didn't quite understand it, he saw that the method was recorded in detail.
What fertilizers and pest control methods should be used? How often should the plants be watered? When should they be watered? How much water should be used? Everything is covered in detail.
"Great, great! Great! Great! There's hope for our Great Summer. If this cotton can really be grown, the people of our building won't have to worry about freezing anymore."
Every year, so many people freeze to death due to the cold weather. How can one not worry about their own people?
Gao Fan smiled and replied, "The people of Great Xia are under the protection of Your Majesty and should live and work in peace and contentment."
Emperor Rui Jing pointed at Gao Fan with amusement, "You old man are always trying to trick me. This cotton can be grown, but it is due to Qing Ning's luck."
Gao Fan lowered his head with a smile and listened to Emperor Rui Jing continue speaking.
"Now that the cotton has grown, what can I do with Qing Ning? This child is truly a lucky star. I heard from Jin Huai that he was able to open his celestial orifice due to a great opportunity. Do you think this is a blessing from the gods in heaven, specially sent down a little immortal to greatly prosper our Xia Kingdom?"
Emperor Rui Jing became more and more excited as he spoke, and he had already thought of several rewards in his mind.
"Your Majesty is right. Daxia is blessed by the gods."
Gao Fan continued to agree with the emperor and said:
"However, the cotton harvest is still uncertain. Your Majesty, why don't you wait and reward us after the harvest is in?"
"Yes, yes, you are right. I was too impatient. Why hasn't Si Nong Qing come yet? Go and urge him again."
Another young eunuch hurried away. Seeing that His Majesty was summoning him urgently, the eunuchs from the Ministry of Agriculture urged him several times, and they all ran away gasping for breath.
The head minister of the Ministry of Agriculture was in his fifties and could not run, so he was carried by a young eunuch.
As soon as they entered the inner hall, several people immediately saluted Emperor Ruijing.
"Greetings, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."
"Mr. Zhang, please get up quickly." Emperor Ruijing quickly had someone help him up.
"Zhang Qing, come and see! This is the cotton plant. The white cloth from the Western Regions is woven from it."
Emperor Ruijing personally took the hand of Minister of Agriculture and went forward to take a closer look.
When Zhang Nongqing heard that they were talking about cotton plants, he was as excited as if he had seen a rare treasure.
"Your Majesty, is this true?"
At present, the relationship between countries is still very delicate. Although Daxia tries its best to trade with foreign countries, some small countries are not rich in resources and capital. That is also the foundation of the country. How can they be willing to let other countries take it away?
This piece of white cloth is worth thousands of gold coins per foot, but it is still out of stock.
"Zhang Nongqing's is of course genuine. His Royal Highness the Second Prince bought it from a foreign merchant in the market at a high price."
Zhang Nongqing glanced at Gao Fan and continued, "The Second Prince truly cares deeply about our Great Xia. If this cotton is successfully planted, the people will be able to survive even the coldest days."
The emperor's face was filled with even greater relief. "It can't be his credit alone. The children from the Yu and Guo families also made great contributions. They are all good children."
"Zhang Qing, here is how to grow cotton, take a look."
As he spoke, Wang Dajian presented the booklet.
After a careful review, Zhang Nongqing said, "Your Majesty, I think this method should be feasible. Although I have never grown cotton, I am considered an expert in other crops."
"I wonder where your Majesty planted these cotton plants?"
"I'm planning to plant it in the Imperial Garden. Is that feasible, Mr. Zhang?"
"Your Majesty, how about planting six in the garden? Could you please take the remaining four back home and transplant them in the field? That way, I can see if there are any adjustments to the planting schedule and techniques based on the different soil and location?"
"Okay, I'll plant three in the garden, and you can take the rest away. You must cultivate them well!"
Emperor Ruijing's last words were spoken with extreme solemnity.
Zhang Nongqing naturally understood the emperor's expectations and carefully took the seven cotton plants out of the palace.
There were three more Ruijing trees that Emperor Jing wanted to plant himself, so he had someone carry them to the imperial garden.
"Wu Yong, you've been there for a few days, do you know how to replant? Teach me, I need to look after these three orphans myself."
There is nothing to do at this time, just transplant it into the soil. These limes have been described in detail.
But now His Majesty is in the mood for something new and exciting, so Wu Dajian naturally wants to let the emperor have a full experience.
Qiu Ming watched from the side, frowning.
But in my heart, I learned something new today.
After this experience, Emperor Rui Jing gained a lot and felt a great sense of accomplishment.
I was actually worried about Zhang Nongqing. "Do you think Zhang Qing can take good care of those plants? Oh, should I go and keep an eye on them?"
The people being questioned all looked at Gao Fan, who smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, are you still not confident in Zhang Nongqing's abilities? Although this is precious cotton, Your Majesty has given him all the planting methods. If he still can't grow it well, you will have him pay you double."
"Puch"
Emperor Ruijing laughed out loud at Gao Fan's words. He glanced at him and said, "What do you think it is? He even doubled the compensation. If he doesn't grow well, I'll punish him by sending him to farm."
"Yes, yes, punish Nong Qing and send him to farm."
Emperor Ruijing asked someone to watch him carefully and went back to the harem happily.
The news that the emperor received cotton plants today and planted them himself spread like wildfire to every corner.
In Eve's Palace, when Wen Baolin got the news, he immediately broke his favorite jade hairpin in his hand.
The waiting palace maids and eunuchs all held their breath, and no one dared to step forward to comfort her.
"Humph, isn't it just a few cotton plants? Why is it so precious? Just because the Yu family is capable and Meng Jinhuai is their biological son?"
"Baolin, you can't say that." The senior palace maid Mudan was frightened and tried to persuade him.
"So what? This is my Eve Palace. If my words today get out, you'd better think about the consequences."
As he spoke, his eyes swept viciously over everyone in the hall.
Everyone lowered their brows and eyes, and the hall was as silent as a cicada.
"Go tell Grandfather to find a way to get rid of the Chen family. I want to see what the Yu family and Meng Jinhuai can use to claim credit before His Majesty without the Chen family."
Mudan responded softly, and when he tried to leave, he was called back.
He motioned her to come closer and whispered something, only to see Mu Dan's face suddenly turn pale.
"Go ahead, don't leave any evidence behind."
Mu Dan agreed in panic and left in a hurry.
"I want to see how long you can be so proud. Anyone who stands in the way of my son and my Wen family must die."
A pair of beautiful eyes looked extremely creepy because of calculation.
