Most of the cotton was planted in the Guanzhong area.
Su Yang's Little Immortal Destiny Store was also in this area.
Brother Zheng brought the officials and quickly arrived at the area where the cotton was most densely planted.
What greeted Brother Zheng's eyes was an endless amount of cotton.
White flowers could be seen everywhere.
Brother Zheng looked around and felt as if he had come to an ocean of cotton. Everywhere he looked, there were blooming flowers.
Even though Brother Zheng had seen many big scenes, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.
What made Brother Zheng even more excited was the people who were ready to stand beside the cotton fields and wait to pick.
Some of these commoners had followed them all the way from Xianyang City, but most of them had heard that the imperial court was going to start picking cotton to resist the cold wave, so they volunteered to help.
Brother Zheng and Li Si, who was beside him, looked at the dense crowd of people in front of them and were very excited.
One had to know that when Brother Zheng had just become the emperor and granted amnesty to the world, there were not so many people who thanked him.
Who would be willing to be a tyrant that was hated by the people if they could be a wise king that was loved by the people?
Brother Zheng's three-step plan to win the hearts of the people had arrived.
He couldn't wait to see the people wearing cotton-padded jackets and grateful expressions after the cotton was picked.
"Li Si, let the people start picking cotton!”
"Are the rewards for the teams and individuals who plucked the most ready?”
"When the time comes, I will personally reward them!”
Brother Zheng said to Li Si beside him.
"Yes!"
Li Si left.
"His Majesty has ordered it!"
"Start harvesting!"
"Start harvesting!"
"Start harvesting!"
The commoners who had been waiting by the cotton fields to pick immediately began to work after hearing the order.
Instantly, all Brother Zheng could see were the busy commoners.
He could see the smiles on the faces of the people. They were smiles that came from the bottom of their hearts.
"This is what We want to see. May the people of Great Qin no longer suffer!”
Brother Zheng was very excited, thinking about what the people would be like after the cold wave passed.
"Your Majesty, this subject's hands are itching to see it. This subject also wants to personally pick cotton!”
Wang Jian looked at the bustling scene and felt an itch in his heart. He liked this kind of big scene. He felt that if he did not participate in it, he would definitely regret it.
Brother Zheng glanced at Wang Jian, whose beard was beginning to turn white, and laughed loudly."Haha, it's rare for you to be so interested.”
When Wang Jian heard His Majesty's permission, he bowed and left with a happy expression.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject also wants to do my part to experience the charm of a celestial treasure like cotton!”
Zhang Han couldn't hold it in anymore. He looked at the busy commoners with a burning gaze and wanted to join the cotton-picking army personally.
Brother Zheng was in a good mood and waved his hand casually.
"Whoever wants to go, go ahead. Give the commoners a good start!”
To be honest, if it wasn't for Brother Zheng's status, he would also want to personally participate in this rare event.
The civil officials with titles behind him could not put down their airs and did not want to go down to pick them at all.
However, Brother Zheng's gaze when he turned around to look at them made them feel terrified.
One by one, they rushed to join the army of cotton pickers.
Brother Zheng couldn't be bothered with these annoying civil officials.
"Imperial Father, then I'll go pick cotton too. I want to use the cotton I pick to make a cotton-padded jacket for Imperial Father!”
Big Brother Zheng wanted to chat with Ying Yinman, but he didn't expect Ying Yinman to leave with a basket in her hand.
The people were busy for a few days before they finally finished picking.
Brother Zheng really personally rewarded the individuals and teams who harvested the most.
On the side of the officials, Li Si stood on his tiptoes and looked around. All he could see was a small mountain of snow-white cotton.
The ground was covered with baskets, and the baskets were filled with cotton. It was a magnificent sight.
Li Si looked at it and roughly estimated the yield of the cotton.
Nearly 800,000 mu of land in Guanzhong was planted with cotton. Li Si roughly calculated in his heart and had an idea.
Then, he immediately went to report to Brother Zheng.
"Your Majesty, the yield of this cotton is slightly... This lowly subject has already roughly calculated it!" Li Si was so excited that his face turned red and his voice trembled.
Brother Zheng was also immersed in the joy of the cotton harvest. He smiled and asked,"Tell me, how many are there?"
Li Si took two deep breaths to calm himself down.
Then he said,"All the cotton in the Guanzhong area is about four million stones.”
" In addition to the 200,000 mu of land in Chang 'an, we can harvest more than 5.3 million kilograms of cotton.”
Brother Zheng almost lost his balance when he heard this. He had already thought that the cotton production would be very high, but he did not expect it to reach such a level.
Brother Zheng knew very well that a stone of cotton could be used to make thirty to forty sets of cotton-padded clothes.
If Great Qin's General Office went all out, they could make 20 million cotton coats, which would be enough for all of Great Qin's residents to use.
The more Brother Zheng thought about it, the more excited he became. He even had difficulty breathing and felt a little dizzy, but it quickly disappeared.
