Zhangsun Yu led the two dukes to the cotton fields that covered the mountains and plains.
"Hiss!"
When they saw the snow-white cotton all over the mountain, everyone was stunned and their eyes were filled with amazement. Especially their guards.
The cotton that Zhangsun Yu created by combining the wild grass industry was completely different from the cotton of the later generations. First of all, the cotton ball was very huge, unlike in the future, where it was wrapped in a leather bag.
At a glance, they were all snow-white cotton balls, like dandelions. The difference was that the cotton was much thicker and would not flutter in the wind.
At this moment, in the mountains and plains, villagers were picking cotton balls. There were only a hundred people in Chen Family Village. Only seventy to eighty of them could participate in the labor.
If they were to split some of them to shoot cotton, there would definitely not be enough people.
Therefore, Zhangsun Yu asked the old village chief to come forward and invite the people of the villages around Qianlong Mountain. It just so happened that because of the Turkic invasion, the rice fields were all destroyed.
The villagers were still worried about what to do this year.
Now, Zhangsun Yu invited them to participate in the picking, planting, and production of cotton. He gave them a good reward and allowed them to live a good new year in peace.
To the people of this era, as long as they could feed themselves, they were all good people.
Not to mention, Zhangsun Yu was very generous. With Zhangsun Chong and Gao Ling 'er as his backers, it was necessary for him to provide basic services such as free meals.
Furthermore, the salary was much higher than the average long-term worker of an aristocratic family. Therefore, everyone was naturally willing to work for Zhangsun Yu.
As for the leak of the technology, everyone would be afraid, except for Zhangsun Yu.
Because to grow cotton, he had to use the system to unlock the gene lock. Otherwise, no matter who got the plant, they would not be able to grow it.
Therefore, even if the technology was leaked, they did not have cotton, so they could not make cotton-padded clothes.
And even if they went overseas to get cotton, could that kind of trash cotton compare to Zhangsun Yu's? Not to mention the small size of the fruit, the yield of cotton was extremely low.
Not to mention, ordinary cotton would take a year to mature.
This was because ordinary cotton was required to be planted in April and ripened in November. Therefore, it could only be harvested once a year. However, the cotton that Zhangsun Yu created was different. Zhangsun Yu's cotton could be harvested regardless of season.
Moreover, it only took twenty-four days, less than a month, to ripen. The yield was many times that of ordinary cotton.
Therefore, even if someone obtained the overseas cotton, they would not be able to shake Zhangsun Yu. They would not even be qualified to challenge him.
"Yu 'Er, is your cotton just scattered in the forest like this?”
Zhangsun Wuji asked curiously. He carefully observed the mountain forest where the cotton was planted. There were no signs of it being taken care of!
It wasn't even considered a field, let alone a fertile field.
But could he drive so vigorously like this?
Zhangsun Yu smiled. This was what he was most proud of. There was no need to say much about the strength of the Weed Gene. It was truly a jack of all trades!
"My cotton is different from the cotton overseas. It doesn't have much requirements for the growing environment. As long as it wasn't a glacier or a desert, it could be planted and grown. There was no need to take care of it.”
"You just need to water it a little, and it can grow very well.”
Zhangsun Yu said this. The two of them were amazed. There were actually such good crops in the world?
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good!"
The two of them were extremely excited. If that was the case, wouldn't they be able to solve the problem of warmth in the Great Tang by simply visiting ten thousand acres of wasteland?
This was simply unimaginable. A problem that had plagued the Great Tang for generations had been so easily resolved.
After that, Zhangsun Yu brought the excited duo to the workshop. Although the workshop was very simple and crude, with only thatched huts, it was already quite large.
There were almost a thousand workers. It must be known that the Great Tang was in dire straits. As long as they could eat and drink, countless people would be willing to work for them.
"This production method?"
When they saw Zhangsun Yu's production method, the two High Dukes were shocked. They were naturally smart people. With just a careful observation, they could see how efficient Zhangsun Yu's production method was.
"This is an assembly line production model that can greatly speed up the production process.”
"Now, if more than a thousand workers work together, they can produce at least ten thousand cotton coats every day.”
"Of course, such progress is far from being able to spread throughout the country.”
"If we can obtain the Great Tang's help, that would be even better. After all, this year's winter seemed to be much colder than the previous years!”
Zhangsun Yu sighed softly. Every year, after the winter, all they got in the coming year was a record of people freezing to death.
But not this year! Zhangsun Yu would no longer let the commoners freeze to death in the cold winter. He wanted the commoners of the world to be able to enjoy a warm new year.
