No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

The main door of Muramasa's house was wide open, facing the courtyard, and more than ten people were standing neatly in the courtyard.

The courtyard inside the village is not as good as outside the village. These people were divided into two rows to leave a way for people to enter the main house.

Li Erlang and Li Aniang walked into the yard side by side, and were suddenly met by two rows of eyes. Li Aniang exclaimed in her heart. Seeing Erlang walking forward without squinting, of course she couldn't flinch. Li Aniang couldn't help but raise her head. Keep your chest out.

In the main room, the county magistrate's wife and Muramasa were chatting quietly. Li Erlang was wearing the stain-resistant spring shirt he wore when he went to the field today, with the sleeves tied to his elbows, revealing his dark wheat-colored skin.

After the two sat down, Mrs. Hong asked the maid beside her to serve tea before entering the topic.

The purpose of the county magistrate's wife coming to the village was clear to everyone present, because Ji Qingyue didn't hide it at all, and let Li Aniang and others "swagger through the market" wearing cotton clothes, so the villagers knew the benefits of cotton.

Regarding the general details of growing cotton, Li Aweng had already informed Muramasa in advance. With Hu Suan in front and the county government wanting to intervene, Muramasa naturally understood the seriousness of the matter.

The county magistrate's wife looked at Li Erlang: "The county magistrate will be here soon to supervise the farming. He values ​​cotton very much and leaves all matters related to cotton to me. I wonder if Alang's side will go well?"

Li Erlang replied: "Madam, my family and I have transplanted cotton seedlings into the field a few days ago. According to Yue Lang's request, we found a piece of farmland with loose and porous soil, low viscosity and good water content but no water accumulation. Enough agricultural fertilizer was mixed in before transplanting, and these cotton seedlings have now taken root smoothly. You only need to pay attention to one thing later, that is, do not water the cotton during the seedling stage, and then water and topdress after entering the flowering stage."

When asking Ji Qingyue about the precautions for growing cotton, Li Erlang learned many expressions that did not belong here, but felt that they were inexplicably appropriate.

"Tell me more about how to manage cotton during its growth period. I heard that the cotton grown on the sandbank is very susceptible to blight and insect pests. If it is infected with blight and insect pests, the cotton harvest is likely to fail." Mrs. Hong put down her tea cup. Holding the handle of the chair with one hand, he raised his upper body to listen to Li Erlang's answer.

Li Erlang and Li Aniang sat on the right side of Mrs. Hong. He followed the words he had agreed with Ji Qing Yuehe: "Madam, these cotton seeds were cultivated by Yue Lang using secret methods, and I don't know the key points. Yue Lang and I "The insect resistance and disease resistance of these seeds have been greatly improved, and they are more than enough to deal with insect pests and blight."

"It's so magical..." Mrs. Hong murmured, feeling happy and incredible that Ji Qingyue could actually improve seeds.

During her stay in the county, she finally understood that Ji Qingyue not only sold fresh vegetables to Tai'an Building, but also gave the garlic to Li Changxiang, and now he also had cotton...

It's not that she coveted the "secret method" in Ji Qingyue's hands, but she remembered what Lang Jun said accidentally: Ji Qingyue is not simple.

Crops that are not afraid of pests and diseases are what every farmer dreams of but cannot realize. Now it has been realized through this young man of unknown origin.

Although Ji Qingyue's past origins could not be traced, she and Lang Jun did not want to pursue it in detail. Everyone has secrets, not to mention that Ji Qingyue holds a secret method that can benefit thousands of people.

Mrs. Hong was thinking about other things in her mind. As soon as her thoughts returned to cotton, she heard Li Erlang continue: "Madam, cotton seeds have indeed been improved, but seeds are like people, not every generation is excellent. Yes, do you understand?"

"Are you saying that every time cotton seeds are sown, the insect resistance and disease resistance of the newly harvested seeds will be worse than the previous generation?"

"Yes."

Mrs. Hong frowned and pondered for a moment, "If that's the case, does that mean...a few years later, the seeds improved by Ji Langjun will be the same as ordinary seeds?"

"Yes."

Ji Qingyue once gave Li Aniang a batch of vegetable seeds. After planting them several times, Li Aniang found that the vegetables grown were not as good as the previous ones. Using the seeds Ji Qingyue took out from the painting, the vegetables grown were bright green and of very good quality. Later, the difference could be seen with just the naked eye.

Therefore, the seeds cultivated through the scrolls will not always maintain stable improved characteristics. After a few generations, they will become the same as ordinary seeds.

Mrs. Hong frowned, obviously dissatisfied.

Li Erlang: "Madam, don't be anxious, I haven't finished speaking yet. After Yue Lang discovered this problem, he thought of a solution, that is, learn to sift seeds, and select full and plump seeds when harvesting to save for the next season, and finally The most important thing is to expand the cultivation area of ​​high-quality crops.”

"You mean, if you want to ensure the quality of seeds, you need to increase the cotton fields?"

"Yes. This can slow down the decline in seed quality. If Madam wants to ensure that the quality of each crop of cotton is the best, she can only find Yue Lang to get newly improved seeds. But I know that this method will not work, and Yue Lang is short-term. You can’t grow so many seeds inside.”

Mrs. Hong said: "In your opinion, how many seeds may there be next year?"

Li Erlang told the truth: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get much, so Yue Lang said that the first three years are the breeding period, and it is impossible to promote and plant cotton immediately."

Things didn't go as planned, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent.

At this time, a person outside the room broke the silence: "Madam, can you allow me and Mr. Xianglang to ask a few questions?"

Mrs. Hong nodded. She was so anxious that she forgot about her subordinates in the yard, so she introduced to Li Erlang: "This old man's surname is Qi. He comes from Shazhou. His family has grown Baidiezi for generations."

Li Erlang cupped his fists and raised his hands in salute: "Old man Qi."

The old man waved his hand: "A young man is better than a good man. I don't deserve Alang's respect."

Old Man Qi was very interested in the improvement method mentioned by Li Erlang, but this was Ji Qingyue's "family secret skill" and he would not show it to others easily.

"Alang said that he has transplanted and planted an acre of Baidie...cotton, ah...Old man, I have been talking about Baidiezi for most of my life, and I am not used to changing my name to cotton." Old Qi apologized and continued to ask: " Why transplant? Is it possible to sow the seeds elsewhere and cultivate them first, and then plant them in the ground after the seedlings emerge?"

Li Erlang nodded and responded easily to the old man's question: "Transplanting has several advantages. The most important one is to save seeds. Seedlings can be sown early, and as much agricultural fertilizer as possible can be mixed into the limited area of ​​land. After screening seeds before sowing and raising seedlings to remove deflated and inferior seeds, the fields mixed with agricultural fertilizer will be enough to ensure the nutrients needed for the growth of the seedlings. The cotton seedlings can not only sprout early, but also be strong and strong. When selecting seedlings for transplantation, the cotton field can also be guaranteed The cotton seedlings are complete, which avoids the shortage of seedlings and broken ridges caused by various conditions in direct sowing."

"Yue Lang said this is the most effective way to ensure that cotton seedlings grow early, fully and evenly."

After listening to this, Old Man Qi became more and more impressed by Ji Qing who had not shown up. He was really old and could not compare to the young people who dared to think and do. "Then...how does Jirou-kun manage the cotton in the fields?"

When Ji Qingyue was growing cotton in his room, he not only clearly and carefully recorded the growth conditions of the cotton, but also the problems that occurred during the seedling, budding, flowering and catdding stages, as well as what needed to be done at each stage. He experimented inside and outside the painting and worked out the results. Proper planting methods.

Li Erlang seemed a little embarrassed: "Now I am also learning while planting. I only asked Yue Lang how to sow. More importantly, I asked the old man to wait. When Yue Lang is free, I can explain in detail."
