The villagers cheered loudly and started to work. They put on the plows that they had bought a few days ago and happily drove the wooden cows to open up the wasteland.
The population of Zhuzi Village was limited, and there was a large area of uncultivated land around it. In total, there were at least a thousand acres.
The villagers soon discovered that this wooden ox was much more useful than a live ox. Not only did it not need to eat grass, but its strength was also twice that of an ordinary ox. It did not take much effort to plow the land, and the speed of clearing the land was greatly increased.
In less than two days, nearly 300 mu of wasteland had been reclaimed.
The men opened up the wasteland, while the women followed behind to sow, burying the huge Shengshi wheat into the newly opened fields.
Seeing the wheat seedlings all over the mountains and plains take root and sprout, growing at lightning speed, Li Zhao estimated that after this harvest, he would be able to harvest at least 100,000 dan of wheat.
This number was almost the amount of grain that the Village of Zhuzi had accumulated over the past few years.
Li Zhao didn't stay idle either. He brought a group of blacksmiths and carpenters to continue forging new wooden oxen.
His plan was to create at least a hundred wooden oxen. This way, there would be enough wooden oxen to bear all the physical labor in the village, freeing the villagers from heavy physical labor.
In the words of Li Zhao's previous life, it should have allowed the Village of Zhuzi to realize its modernisation thousands of years ahead of time.
……
On the mountain road outside the Village of Philosopher, a group of people dressed in extraordinary clothes were on their way into the mountain.
The King of Qin, Li Shimin, and the Duke of Song, Xiao Yu, had changed into casual clothes. Under the guidance of Xiao Yiyan and Cheng Chumo, and the protection of Yuchi Gong, they arrived at Zhuzi Village.
At this time, in order to facilitate the people from other villages to come and buy grain, the array mechanism of the Zhuzi Village was always open, allowing Li Shimin and his group to enter smoothly.
After passing through a cloud of mist, the scene before his eyes suddenly became clear.
"I didn't expect that there would be such an outstanding village hidden in Dragon Head Mountain. No wonder that magical youth called Li Zhao could be born.”
Li Shi Min looked at the beautiful scenery of the Village of Philosopher and couldn't help but click his tongue.
Xiao Yu stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness, Dad, look! Are those fields planted with Shengshi Mai?”
Xiao Yiyan's eyes were sharp as she pointed at the field beside the road and shouted.
Li Shiming and the others turned to the roadside and saw a vast field. There were wheat seedlings as tall as small trees, and large wheat grains that were turning yellow were hanging on them.
That was indeed a Shengshi Mai!
Li Shi Min was shocked and took a deep breath. He rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not seeing things.
He wasn't mistaken. Those were indeed the golden wheat that was about to be harvested!
" This wheat seedling is as tall as a small tree. No wonder it can grow wheat grains as big as apples. It's unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable…"
Li Shi Min clicked his tongue in admiration and said "unbelievable" three times in a row.
At this moment, he was even more eager to see what was so special about the legendary youth that Xiao Yu and the others had mentioned.
The group continued to move forward and soon entered the village.
As villagers often came to buy grain recently, there were many unfamiliar faces in the village, so the villagers were not curious about Li Shimin and his party.
"Make way, make way."
A child's voice came from behind him, mixed with a cow's cry.
Li Shi Min took the initiative to move his horse to the side of the road, making way for the boy who was riding the cow.
When the shepherd boy drove the cattle past them, Li Shiming and the others widened their eyes in shock.
"Wooden…Wooden Cow? Your Highness, am I seeing things? This child is riding a wooden ox?”
Even the calm and composed General Yuchi Gong couldn't keep his cool anymore. He pointed at the wooden bull and looked at Li Shiming in shock.
Li Shimin was surprised." I heard that Zhuge Kongming once made a wooden ox and a horse, but it was lost in later generations. Could it be that this child is riding the legendary wooden ox?"”
"How many skilled craftsmen in the future have tried to imitate the wooden ox and horse, but they have never succeeded. How can such a divine craftsman in such a small village create such a strange object?”
Xiao Yu's aged face was also filled with shock and disbelief.
Everyone was immersed in shock, and they became even more curious about this mysterious Village of Philosopher.
"Brother, where did you get this wooden bull?”
Li Shi Min asked.
With his knowledge, he could tell at a glance just how powerful this wooden ox was. If he could find the Divine Craftsman who made this thing and make tens of thousands of wooden oxen for the Great Tang, the benefits would be immeasurable.
"You mean the wooden bull? Every household in our village has one.”
The child replied in a disapproving manner, as if the Wooden Ox Stream was just an ordinary domestic animal, and Li Shiming, a foreigner, was making a fuss over it.
These words shocked Li Shi Min again.
It was already incredible that a divine item like the wooden ox could be created. He did not expect that every family in this small village would have one!
Li Shi Min suppressed his shock and asked,"Then, which Divine Craftsman created your wooden oxen? Can you introduce them to me?”
"It was made by our Brother Li Zhao. He's in the fields over there. If you want to find him, go by yourself.”
The child pointed ahead, patted the bull's back, and left.
Hearing Li Zhao's name, everyone's expression changed, including Li Shiming.
