Chapter 1069 - 892, Demonstrate, Win Over
After visiting the corn and potato planting areas, Xiao Yeyang led Zhu Jianzhong, Pang Guang, and the uncle-nephew pair of Li Xingnian to the cotton planting area.
Li Xingnian exclaimed in admiration, "I see that the growth of the cotton here is hardly any worse than that in Zhongzhou."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "The cotton seeds have been re-cultivated. If we had used ordinary cotton seeds, we wouldn’t have had such a harvest."
After saying this, he laughed lightly.
"Last year, when I first arrived at the Ganzhou Guard, I saw the scene of military households and soldiers of the Border Army shivering in the cold and snow, and it was very distressing. But this year, such a situation will not happen again!"
"Even if the military households lack experience in planting and the cotton they submit is insufficient, there should still be enough to provide every soldier of the Ganzhou Guard with a set of thick cotton-padded clothes and trousers."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jianzhong and Pang Guang felt their passion reignite.
Xiliang was barren, and despite their utmost efforts, ensuring that their soldiers had enough to eat was already difficult, let alone providing them with additional clothing.
They originally thought Xiao Yeyang had only brought high-yield grain seeds, not expecting him to also have high-yield cotton seeds.
They must persuade Xiao Yeyang to give them the high-yield seeds, they must!
