"Prosperous Age Mai…Hmm, good name. Since the prosperous age of the Han Dynasty, our Central Plains has not had a prosperous age for hundreds of years. I hope that our Great Tang can accept your good words and create a new prosperous age for our Han family.”
Zhao Xun was full of praise, and tears welled up in his old eyes.
The Central Plains had been ravaged by the Hu for far too long. The people needed a prosperous dynasty so that they could once again feel the glory of being Han.
Following that, Li Zhao asked the villagers to harvest all the wheat grains on the wheat stalk that was as huge as a tree to be used as seeds for the next wave of sowing.
The field next to the mirror lake was planted with Shengshi wheat.
The villagers saw hope. Without Li Zhao's arrangements, every household sent people to take turns taking care of the divine wheat.
Summer passed and autumn came. Another month passed.
The Shengshi wheat grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it had a bumper harvest.
This time, hundreds of wheat trees produced 50,000 to 60,000 catties of wheat. The yield per mu had increased by more than ten times.
The entire Village of Zhuzi was in an uproar.
Every household was given a few baskets of Shengshi wheat seeds. The elderly and children held the apple-sized wheat seeds as if they were holding treasures and could not bear to part with them.
Moreover, because it had incorporated some of the advantages of apples, the Shengshi wheat naturally emitted a fragrance. After being ground into wheat flour, the steamed buns were even more sweet and delicious, with an endless aftertaste.
"Brother Zhao, this is the steamed bun that Auntie Zhang just made. It smells better than sugar. Try it.”
Zhao Yu 'er carried a freshly steamed bun and flew over like a sparrow. She tore a large piece and sent it into Li Zhao's mouth.
Li Zhao didn't have time to refuse and could only chew it with a smile. Needless to say, it really did taste like an apple.
"The taste is not bad. It's indeed quite sweet.”
Li Zhao nodded slightly and tore another piece from her hand. The more he chewed, the more delicious it became.
"Not only does our Shengshi Mai have a high yield, but it also means that we've added sugar in it. It's killing two birds with one stone. Brother Zhao, you're amazing.”
Zhao Yu 'er was full of praise and gave Li Zhao a thumbs up.
In this era of material scarcity, salt and sugar were scarce condiments. Salt was a necessity of life, and it was needless to say that one had to buy it regardless of whether they had money or not.
Candies were considered a small luxury item for ordinary people. Unless it was a big festival, no one was willing to eat a bite.
If Li Zhao's Shengshi Mai was promoted, it would be equivalent to letting ordinary people in every household eat a luxury like candy for every meal.
"Philosopher System, if I promote this super wheat, will anyone be able to grow it?”
"Super wheat has been specially treated and can be used as seeds. It can only be grown in the soil of Zhuzi Village. If it is planted in other soil, the wheat produced cannot be used as seeds.”
Li Zhao was relieved.
Since this seed was controlled by the Village of Zhuzi, they didn't have to worry about letting the alien races take advantage of it after it was spread out.
Secondly, the Village of Zhuzi had the seeds in their hands. Even if they were sold at the price of ordinary seeds, they would still earn a considerable amount of income, allowing the villagers to live a better life.
Although Li Zhao cared about the common people, he was not a saint after all. In his heart, he still had some kinship. The villagers of the Village of Zhuzi were his relatives, so he naturally wanted to give them a better life.
Moreover, if the Golden Age Barley could be promoted throughout the Great Tang, the number of seeds needed every year would be astronomical, and the profits would be in the hundreds of millions.
With capital, even if he didn't acknowledge his relatives or rely on his status as a prince, he could still achieve great things.
Following that, Li Zhao got the villagers to plant Shengshi wheat in all their fields, striving to harvest two more waves before winter.
However, due to the large production of Shengshi wheat, the current fields were not enough to grow. It was time to reclaim new fields.
In order to reclaim the new land, new farming tools and cattle were needed. After some discussion, the elders decided to ask Li Zhao to lead a team to Chang 'an to sell some of the Shengshi wheat and use the money to buy some new farming tools.
Autumn was about to pass, and time waited for no one. Li Zhao packed up hastily and left Longshou Mountain with Zhao Yu-er, Blacksmith Uncle Zhang, and the others for Chang 'an.
On this day, when the sun was setting in the west, Li Zhao finally stepped into Chang 'an.
Standing on this bustling street, looking at the endless flow of passers-by, looking at the majestic palace city in the distance, Li Zhao was filled with emotions.
Back then, his mother had left the Imperial Capital while carrying him and had never stepped into this place again.
There were too many people here who were inextricably linked to him. Whether he wanted to see them or not, they would stir up a ripple in his calm heart.
"Zhao, it's your first time in Chang 'an. Are you dazzled? Don't worry. When you are a few years older, you can join the army in Chang 'an. With your abilities, you will have no problem fighting for the title of marquis and general in your life. Then you can live in Chang' an for the rest of your life. We can also benefit from you.”
Uncle Zhang saw that Li Zhao was in a trance and thought that Li Zhao was shocked by the prosperity of Chang 'an. He patted Li Zhao's shoulder and encouraged him.
Li Zhao laughed it off.
"Move aside! Get out of the way!"
At this moment, a woman's nervous voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
Li Zhao turned around and saw a frightened white horse galloping over. The red-robed girl on the horse's back shouted desperately, but she couldn't stop the beast.
