System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1309 - 344: Lynn? Is He Even Worthy? (10K)_4

This plot of farmland is planted with cotton plants, but the area is not very large.

It only covers one acre.

Mainly because last year, the harvested cotton seeds totaled only eighteen hundred seeds.

According to the required soil growth space for cotton plants and the fertility of the cultivated land.

The best seed row spacing is sixty centimeters, and the plant spacing is thirty centimeters.

Eighteen hundred cotton seeds planted are just about one acre of farmland.

Lynn arrived in front of a row of cotton plants.

Lynn took a pair of pliers from a farmer and began to harvest the cotton and seeds from the cotton plants.

With Lynn’s skilled hands, handfuls of cotton and seeds were placed into the wicker basket at his feet.

While engaged in the harvesting labor, Lynn calculated the cotton planting yield in his mind.

During the harvesting process, Lynn had already made a rough estimate.

An average cotton plant had grown six cotton bolls.

Each cotton boll contained about thirty cotton seeds.

To sum it up.

Once this batch of eighteen hundred cotton plants was harvested.

Lynn could harvest approximately three hundred and twenty-four thousand cotton seeds!

Based on the current seed scale, roughly calculated.

By next spring, all three hundred and twenty-four thousand cotton seeds will be planted.

Lynn could obtain one hundred and sixty-two acres of cotton farmland.

With a few more years of cultivation expansion.

Lynn would continuously reap cotton crops!

Moreover.

Lynn had already made rough plans in his mind earlier.

For example, planting all potatoes on the farmland of Boxi Town and all cotton in Alba Town.

Similar to subdividing jobs among the territory’s residents, different areas cultivate different crops.

Thus, reducing the efforts of garrison soldiers in cultivation and planting.

Because with practice comes proficiency.

The longer garrison soldiers engage in the same labor, the more skilled they become!

As Lynn led a team of ten farmers, continuously harvesting cotton and seeds.

Time swiftly passed.

Due to a lack of effective harvesting tools, the harvest of cotton and seeds from cotton bolls could only rely on manual labor.

Only one acre of cotton farmland was harvested by the afternoon.

Watching the farmers carrying wicker baskets of white cotton back towards the town.

Lynn, standing outside the cotton farmland, relaxed a bit in his heart.

Due to the impact of the soil’s fertility, the cotton crop was not abundant this time.

However.

As long as normal production and harvest can proceed, for Lynn, it is already a great fortune.

Lynn looked at Wilbur beside him and said.

"Arrange personnel to process the harvested cotton and seeds."

"First, spread the seed cotton on a clean square to dry, reduce its moisture content to prevent mold."

"After drying, grade and clear impurities based on the length, color, and impurity rate of the cotton."

"Then process and separate the cotton and seeds."

"The tools needed for processing, I will have the Woodworker Workshop finish as soon as possible!"

Last year, Lynn had thought about making cotton separation tools.

However.

The combined yield of last year’s cotton and seeds was merely two pounds.

Compared to making separation tools, it was even faster to separate them by hand.

Wilbur, standing beside Lynn, bowed and nodded in response.

Lynn continued, "Send the separated cotton to the textile workshop."

"Properly store the cotton seeds for next year’s expanded planting!"

Seeing no further instructions from Master Lynn, Wilbur quickly responded.

"Yes, Master, Wilbur understands."

Lynn pondered for a moment, then glanced at the cotton farmland again.

Instructed Wilbur to clean the cotton plants in the farmland.

Lynn walked with the farmers carrying wicker baskets back to Lord’s Square.

According to the knowledge and experience in Lynn’s mind.

One thousand eight hundred cotton plants can produce approximately two hundred pounds of cotton.

Within two hundred pounds of cotton, about twenty pounds are long-staple cotton and one hundred and eighty pounds are ordinary cotton.

Lynn could fully utilize these twenty pounds of premium long-staple cotton, combined with satin and silk, to make a few sets of lord’s robes for winter wear!

The remaining one hundred and eighty pounds of ordinary cotton can be made into ordinary cotton robes, serving as rewards for foremen and soldier commanders within the territory.

Even ordinary cotton robes made from ordinary cotton have better warmth and comfort compared to ordinary linen robes and pants.

Especially.

Now that October is here, the temperature is getting lower.

The importance of warm and cold-resistant cotton robes is evident.

Not only the foremen and commanders in the territory.

Residents and soldiers also need clothing to keep warm and resist the cold.

However.

The cotton yield is limited.

Residents and soldiers can only rely on the textile workshop’s linen robes and pants to get through this autumn.

Returning to Lord’s Square, Lynn’s pace did not stop.

Instead, he walked towards the Handicraft Workshop District.

Under the gaze of the textile workshop foreman Yimini, Lynn strode into the workshop.

Yimini quickly approached Lynn and respectfully addressed him.

"Master."

Lynn replied with a nod and said.

"Are the sixty thousand pounds of premium leather stored properly?"

Yimini quickly responded.
