Li Tai refolded the cotton handkerchief and pressed it against his forehead to absorb sweat. It certainly worked better than a silk handkerchief!
"This handkerchief made from Gaochang cotton is truly useful; so soft and absorbent."
Lin Wanwan laughed and said, "Of course. Prince Wei, Princess Changle, I had some people from our clan bring cotton seedlings over through canal transport and loaned them to the manor guests. Planting will start this month."
For the manor guests of Lin Wanwan, April is an extremely busy month, with sweet potatoes, corn, and cotton all needing to be planted.
These seeds are nominally said to be brought from Mao County, but they're not; they're slowly transported from modern times by Lin Wanwan.
