Chapter two hundred and eighty second cotton harvest

Not to mention that Liu Tiankuo was still thinking about how to completely lose his will - after all, the current Si Wei only had no future in the military camp. What if he rose from other aspects in the future?

After all, career is just one of life.

Jiang Zhixia naturally didn't know Liu Tiankuo's thoughts. After she sighed that after Master Wei's future was misleading because of his beauty, she didn't care much------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xing Zhuangtou came to the mansion to report that the Mumianhua was slowly blooming.

The cotton growers in Yazhou said that they would slowly start picking in two days.

Jiang Zhixia naturally wanted to observe this large-scale cotton harvesting event.

However, because Jiang Zhixia is currently pregnant, Liu Tiankuo naturally was reluctant to let her get tired of it - even if she just went to the outskirts of the capital.

It was Jiang Zhixia who turned cold and ignored him for two days, and he obediently compromised.

So, Liu Tiankuo went to the palace and told the emperor that the muffin flowers could be picked. He wanted to go and see the Ministry of Revenue arrange for people to collect cotton in person.

The emperor was naturally overjoyed.

This profitable ice-making technique filled the emperor's private warehouse.

After all, this summer is particularly hot. Not to mention that the ice storage of wealthy families is insufficient, even small businesses can’t stand it and go to buy ice.

The Emperor has this, and his fame will come soon. If it weren't for Liu Tiankuo's stopping, even the emperor would have wanted to go and see it in person.

However, although the emperor did not go to see it in person, he still announced the oral order that Liu Tiankuo would inspect it on his behalf.

As soon as this oral order was released, the eyes of the Ministry of Revenue officials looking at Liu Tiankuo were obviously different.

Early in the morning of August 19th, Jiang Zhixia asked the servants to pack their luggage. With the careful support of Liu Tiankuo, she got on a carriage covered with thick cotton mats, and then asked the servants to rush to the farm carefully.

Liu Tiankuo specially smoked the day he went to today------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He was afraid that Jiang Zhixia would be bumpy, and the road for more than half an hour on weekdays was so he let Liu Tiankuo walk for more than an hour.

When Liu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia arrived at the farmland, officials from the Ministry of Revenue were already waiting.

Seeing the carriage with the Chu Mansion sign stopped, the doctor in charge of Tuda who came over to preside over today, quickly stepped forward to salute.

After the ceremony, the doctor looked at Jiang Zhixia with the curtains from the corner of his eyes.

When Liu Tiankuo presented the flowers, Jiang Zhixia told him not to mention her.

After all, this wool flower was not planted by her, but it was just her first discovery in the capital. In fact, it has existed in the border areas for a long time.

However, Liu Tiankuo wished everyone in the world could know the goodness of his wife, so he naturally refused to listen.

Jiang Zhixia and Liu Tiankuo had a long dispute, but they had never fought over him, and finally made this name known.

Of course, because there is no harvest yet, naturally, the officials in the court are more familiar with the situation, but the people still don’t know it.

This doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, who was assigned to specialize in this matter, naturally knew that it was Commander Liu's wife who discovered the purpose of this muffin flower.

Jiang Zhixia noticed the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue. She turned her head curiously and looked at him. Don’t you know what happened to him?

The doctor saw Jiang Zhixia and found his gaze and quickly shifted his gaze.

Jiang Zhixia was supported by Liu Tiankuo and Ruolan on one side, and there was an Dongli following behind, for fear that she would fall or something.

She could only suffer with laughter and tears.

Jiang Zhixia looked at the continuous wooden flower fields like white clouds in front of her, and couldn't help but bubbles of joy arose in her heart.

Thanks to the blessing of planting experts, the planting of wool flowers was so successful.

When he arrived in front of the Musang flower seedlings, the doctor was also a wink. He smiled and said, "These Musang flowers have not started picking yet, so I'm waiting for Mrs. Liu to be the first to pick them."

When Jiang Zhixia heard this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Liu Tiankuo------the sense of ritual was full.

Liu Tiankuo looked at Jiang Zhixia and nodded with a smile.

So Jiang Zhixia reached out and took the linen gloves that had been prepared from Ruolan, then picked the wooden cotton flower shells directly from the plant and put them in the basket handed over by Liu Tiankuo himself.

In this way, picking officially begins.

Jiang Zhixia asked Ruolan and the others to send all the linen gloves they had prepared before to the pickers.

Although they are all used to doing work with bare hands, the wooden cotton shell is still very arduous.

The people in the fields were collecting the wooden cotton flowers in an orderly manner according to the requirements of the Yazhou people.

Jiang Zhixia and Liu Tiankuo saw the scene in the fields and felt that they had nothing to interfere, so they invited officials from the Ministry of Revenue to go to the village to wait.

When they arrived in the village, Xing Zhuangtou quickly arranged for people to boil water and make tea and snacks.

Liu Tiankuo was chatting with people from the Ministry of Revenue. Jiang Zhixia was drinking health soup in the flower hall next to her.

Waiting for the first bag of wooden cotton flowers to pick back, after picking the cotton wool, everyone saw the snow-white wooden cotton flowers.

"After this wooden cotton flower is more soft and easy to use, and it is also extremely warm." Jiang Zhixia said simply.

The people from the Ministry of Revenue naturally nodded in a hurry.

After all the kapok flowers left for the Ministry of Revenue were picked, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue weighed the weight, recorded the data, and left a person to follow up on the subsequent matters. They went to the capital to report to the emperor.

Jiang Zhixia and Liu Tiankuo slowly started playing in the village.

The next day, they spent most of the day traveling in the village, and in the evening they returned to the capital with unfulfilled feelings.

Seeing that the wood and flower harvest was abundant, Jiang Zhixia ignored it.

She didn't need to worry about the rest. She had people from the Ministry of Revenue and Xing Zhuangtou to deal with the Yazhou people. She just needed to listen to the news.

In order to create limited opportunities for Ruolan and Song He to get along, Jiang Zhixia asked them to travel between Zhuangzi and the mansion every day to convey messages.

After more than ten days, all the muffin flowers were picked.

After picking back the muffin flowers, the woman on the farm picked out the kapok tidal inside from the shell and sorted them and dried them.

After the drying was completed, the people of Yazhou were asked to use cotton bows to turn into soft cotton.

The cotton has been sprinkled, and the rest is waiting to be made.

Jiang Zhixia first asked those who were good at weaving cloth to weave wooden cotton flowers into fine cotton cloth; and asked the people in the needle and thread room to make a thin cotton quilt first.

Then, Jiang Zhixia asked Liu Tiankuo to go to the palace with his cotton cloth and quilt and presented it to the emperor to feel the warmth.

Of course, it received praise from the emperor!

The happy emperor talked about the role of this squid flower in the court, and asked the people from the Ministry of Revenue to arrange it among the people to prepare for planting.
