Chapter 356

"Mo boy, I heard that cottonseed has been delivered."

Soon after Merton returned to the house with a full truck of cottonseed, Su Lingnong heard the news,

As a big farmer, he naturally knew the value of cotton. After hearing the news, he rushed over immediately.

Merton said with a smile, "don't worry, Lord su. The cottonseed has already been put into the Mexican house warehouse. It's safe."

"If I can't witness such a precious thing with my own eyes, how can I be reconciled." Su Lingnong asked impatiently.

Merton had no choice but to lead Su Lingnong to the warehouse of the ink house immediately.

"Good! Good!"

In the storehouse of Mo mansion, Su Lingnong looked at a cart full of cotton seeds with satisfaction and carefully touched the hairy cotton seeds with his hand, which was a heavy sigh of relief.

"With so many cottonseeds, within three or five years, cotton will certainly be able to be popularized in Datang," Su Lingnong said happily.

Cottonseed is not like spinach seed. There is only a small handful. If you want to promote so many cottonseeds, you can certainly save a few years.

"It's also thanks to Mo Si, who made trouble and cut off the road to the western regions. In order to ensure the safety of cottonseed, Mo Si directly hired people to peel the cottonseed on the spot, then loaded it on a fast horse and loaded it on a detour. Only then did he send the cottonseed to the pass." Merton pointed to Mo Si, whose face was chapped with cold.

"Young master, I'm flattered. It's so cold that it can't compare with the poverty of Mojia village." Mo Si said indifferently.

Before, when Mojia village was poor, it was short of food and clothing, hungry and cold. What is this cold compared with now?

"He is indeed a man. When the cotton experiment is successful, I will certainly ask the imperial court for a reward for you." Su Lingnong praised.

"Ah!"

Mo Si was hit by surprise like pie falling from the sky.

"Thank you, Lord Su!" Merton kicked Mo Si, who was staying there. The reason why he asked Mo Si to do this was to find a way out for Mo Si.

The other four of the five brothers who stayed in Mo's house in Chang'an city had a way. Only Mo Si was still unfunded. Merton wanted to recommend Mo Si to big Si Nong, so as to get a family background.

"Thank you, sir!" Mo Si giggled.

"In the future, you will be responsible for collecting foreign seeds and giving them to Lord su. This is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and it is a matter of benefiting the country and the people. You must not be slack at all," Merton ordered.

"Please obey the young master's orders!" Mo Si thanked. He knew that this time Merton was helping him.

"Lord Su, this is the season and precautions for cotton planting in the western regions. The boy has consulted the local cotton farmers and some pest control. I believe it will be useful to Lord su." Mo Si took out a full piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Su Lingnong.

"Good, good!" Su Lingnong nodded with satisfaction when he saw that Mo Si was very safe.

"No, spinach seems to have forgotten to move into the room." Su Lingnong was suddenly shocked and said. He hurried to Mo mansion. In addition to looking at cotton seeds, another reason was that it was snowing heavily. He was afraid that spinach would be frozen, but he didn't think of jumping on cotton seeds and forgetting about spinach.

Spinach has very few seeds. When Merton cultivates vegetables, he directly adopts the pot mode, and each plant is carefully cared for.

The yard where spinach was planted was nearby. Su Lingnong rushed into it. He saw that each basin in the yard had already been covered with a thick layer of snow, and only a few tender green leaves were exposed.

"I'm afraid it's all ruined!" Su Lingnong said heartily.

From sowing to germination and then to growth, these spinach carried Su Lingnong's efforts and took good care of them like his own children. When he saw that spinach was covered by heavy snow, we can imagine how much he regretted.

Mo Si was at a loss and advised, "Lord Su, don't you think these leaves are still intact?"

Su Lingnong shook his head and said, "the vegetables are too delicate. They have just been frozen. Naturally, they can't see anything! I'm afraid these leaves will wilt and rot and die after a night."

In winter, everything turns yellow and no grass grows. This is the law of heaven and earth. In his experience of farming all his life, all the vegetables in Guanzhong will wilt directly once they are hit by frost, let alone resist the destruction of blizzard.

Su Lingnong took good care of the spinach. Since the frost fell, he asked to move the spinach into the house every day to prevent the frost. Today, it was an oversight. Who could have thought it would snow during the day.

"Why don't we move these spinach into the house and see if we can save some." Mo Si thought of a way.

"Then only a dead horse can be a living horse doctor." Su Lingnong said heartily.

Merton looked at Mo Si, who was at a loss, and then looked at Su Lingnong with tears in his eyes. He said weakly, "didn't the Persian businessman say that the heavy snow of this thing can grow?"

"Ah!"

Su Lingnong immediately looked at each other, and then found that he remembered that Merton had indeed said that he was misled by his years of experience and dared not take risks, which made him panic and lose his sense of propriety.

"No one can mention today's matter!" Su Lingnong was angry and quickly warned.

Merton nodded quickly.

Suddenly Su Lingnong raised his head and stared at Merton and said, "is the boy Mo deliberately watching my jokes?"

Merton quickly apologized and said, "how can it be?"

"Mo Si, it's late. It's not safe on the snowy road. Immediately tidy up the room for Lord su. If what Persian businessmen say is true, spinach will still grow well, and Mo Fu can report good news to the emperor."

Merton's voice has not yet fallen, and people have disappeared without a trace.

"This little slick!" Su Lingnong laughed and scolded.

"Lord Su, this way, please." Mo Si stretched out his hand.

Su Lingnong shook his head and said, "no, I'll live in this yard today."

Su Lingnong often takes care of spinach in this yard. He has been very familiar with it for a long time. Besides, if he doesn't personally confirm that spinach is carefree, how can he rest assured to report good news to the emperor.

It snowed heavily all night.

Overnight, the whole Guanzhong area was covered with snow and white.

In the palace, Li Shimin still looked at the heavy snow and couldn't help but be happy and said, "auspicious snow bodes well for a bumper year! There must be plenty of snow this year and a bumper harvest next year."

"This is the auspicious luck from heaven. Your Majesty's virtue in ruling and martial arts moves heaven. I am the blessing of Tang Dynasty!" pound said with a smile.

"Auspicious?

Li Shimin laughed and said, "the more auspicious things, the better. As long as you don't stick a pheasant to your tail, it's called auspicious."

"Your Majesty is wise. How can those tricks deceive the emperor? Since the emperor banned the offering of auspicious omens, auspicious omens have been banned in our Tang Dynasty." pound complimented.

At the beginning of Li Shimin's accession to the throne, there were many auspicious omens everywhere. Li Shimin was so annoyed that he directly issued the "forbidden auspicious edict". In addition to the common auspicious omens such as long Qilin, other auspicious omens should not be exaggerated, and others should be banned. Since then, the wind of auspicious omen disappeared in the Zhenguan Dynasty.

Suddenly a bodyguard came to report: "I inform your majesty that Lord Mo and big Si Nong jointly came to offer auspicious luck."
