"Brother Zhao, you've been acting a little strange recently. Whenever you see a beautiful girl, you won't stop looking.”
Zhao Yuer pouted and complained.
Uncle Zhang chuckled." What's so strange about that? Which man doesn't like to look at beautiful girls? Ah Zhao will be able to get married in a few years."”
Li Zhao only shook his head and smiled. How could others know what he was thinking in his heart? However, he was frank and did not bother to explain.
"Let's go to Xi City."
Li Zhao jumped onto the carriage and whipped the horse, pulling the carriage full of Shengshi wheat all the way to Xi City.
The West City was the most prosperous city in Chang 'an. It gathered all kinds of rare goods from all over the world, from the Western Region in the west to Fusang in the east, from the Turks in the north to the South Sea in the south.
Li Zhao parked the carriage in an open space. He lifted the sackcloth, and the huge wheat grains appeared, immediately becoming the object of everyone's attention.
"No way, is this really wheat?”
"The wheat can actually grow so big? It's like an apple."
"It really does smell like apples. Divine wheat, it really is divine wheat!”
The onlookers of Chang 'an were all shocked by Shengshi Mai. They were full of praises as if they had seen a fresh treasure.
Then, the bidding began.
Chang 'an was the center of the Tang Empire. There were many rich people in Chang' an. In their eyes, these Shengshi Barley were even more precious than the pearls of the East Sea and the jade of Tianshan. If they bought one, the value of collecting it was self-evident.
This batch of Shengshi Mai Lizhao was sold to expand production and purchase farming tools. Its target was the rich people in Chang 'an City from the beginning. The price was set at a high price so that these rich people could contribute to the people of the Tang Empire.
In less than an hour, the cart full of Shengshi wheat was almost sold, and in exchange, it was the same weight of gold and silver.
"After selling the last few pills, we'll go to the best restaurant in Chang 'an to have some wine.”
Although Li Zhao cared for the common people, he was not the kind of ascetic monk who tortured himself. Life was short, and he had to enjoy it when he should.
Zhao Yu 'er and the others were so happy that they clapped their hands.
"So it's Brother Li. Why did you come to Chang 'an?”
A familiar figure appeared in front of the stall. It was Cheng Chumo, the son of General Cheng Yaojin, whom he had befriended in Zhuzi Village the day before.
"So it's Brother Cheng. We're here to sell goods in Chang 'an. Do you want one of these Shengshi Mai? I'll sell it to you this time.”
Li Zhao called out and pointed at the few pieces of Shengshi Mai on the stall.
"Oh my god, is this wheat? Are you kidding me? How can wheat grow so big?”
Cheng Chumo immediately exploded. He held the huge wheat and looked left and right. He was full of disbelief.
He even rubbed his eyes from time to time, afraid that he had seen wrongly.
"These are the newly cultivated wheat seeds of our Zhuzi Village. Because we want to expand production, we're selling some first so that we can buy more farming tools. The price will definitely be much higher than in the future.”
Cheng Chumo was polite to him and treated him as a friend. Li Zhao put himself in his shoes and told him the truth.
If someone respects me, I will return the favor. This was Li Zhao's way of life.
"If that's the case, then I have to buy it all the more. I'll take all the rest of your things.”
Cheng Chumo was also forthright. He asked his attendants to take the money and pack up the rest of the coins. He sent them back to his father's residence as treasures.
"Why? Is your father sick?"
Li Zhao was meticulous and noticed the medicine in Cheng Chumo's servant's hand.
"My father is very good." Cheng Chumo waved his hand." It's all because the Duke of Song's headache is acting up again. I have to go and see him."”
Xiao Yu was sick?
Li Zhao's heart trembled slightly.
After all, he was his maternal grandfather, a blood relative. Moreover, his maternal grandfather had always been concerned about his mother who had run away from home. Now that he heard that he was sick, how could Li Zhao not be concerned?
"Brother Li, didn't my Aunt Xiao invite you to the residence as a guest? Do you want to come with me to visit Old Master Xiao?”
"Alright."
Li Zhao didn't hesitate and agreed without hesitation. He told Zhao Yu 'er and the others to pack up the stall and return to the inn to wait for him.
He followed Cheng Chumo to the Duke of Song Mansion.
When they arrived at the tall courtyard, Cheng Chumo called the servants to report. Not long after, Xiao Yiyan's figure appeared in the main hall.
"I didn't expect you to really come to see me. This is really a pleasant surprise.”
Xiao Yiyan was both surprised and pleasantly surprised by Li Zhao's arrival. She quickly called the servants to serve tea and warmly welcomed him.
"I bumped into Brother Cheng and heard that State Duke Song was sick, so I came along to visit him and Miss Xiao.”
After Li Zhao explained his intentions, he asked Xiao Yu how he was.
"Sigh, this is also an old problem of father. It's just that this time it acted up for a long time. Father has already been in so much pain that he can't eat for two days.”
Xiao Yiyan sighed. Her expression became dejected and even sad.
"Then did you invite the imperial physician to take a look at the old master?”Cheng Chumo asked.
"Of course. His Majesty even specially sent three imperial physicians to come for a consultation. They prescribed all kinds of prescriptions, but there was nothing they could do.”Xiao Yiyan helplessly spread her hands.
At this moment, Li Zhao, who had been silent, suddenly said,""I might have a way to treat State Duke Song's illness.”
