The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 18 There is no wheat in Sang country
Because Shu Xiaohan had relatively high requirements for the inspection, the original one-day inspection plan for Xinliang was postponed again and again, and by the time Xinliang arrived, five days had passed.

After leaving Xinliang Realm, Gu Yuzhi held Xue Ye and sat on the shaft of the car. He imitated Xie Changshi and let out a long sigh of relief: "Sure enough, it is still comfortable to look at the official way."

Not only does it look comfortable, it also feels comfortable to walk on.

Except for the extremely narrow road that was man-made, the rest of the Xinliang Realm was a wasteland. The carriage stumbled to the center of Xinliang and could not go any further. Gu Yuzhi rarely rode in the carriage.

Fortunately, Shu Xiaohan had almost collected all the data and spoke in time, otherwise Gu Yuzhi felt that he might fall ill again.

Shu Xiaohan said while sorting out the data: "I have said before that if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. If the young prince's Xinliang wants to develop, the official roads must be connected. Only in this way can Shopkeeper Wen's business develop. Only when I get up can agriculture, which I am good at, be able to get out of the cold."

Gu Yuzhi nodded subconsciously. This trip to Xinliang really made him feel the importance of roads: "Teacher Shu is right." From Teacher Shu's reaction, we can probably tell that his fiefdom should be set in Pungent and cool.

However, he scratched his head. He still had to go back and discuss it carefully with Xie Changshi and others on what to do.

Shu Xiaohan smiled happily. Since he wanted to help the young prince, those agricultural products could not only satisfy self-sufficiency. The most important thing was to discover new species and increase the yield of crops.

Regardless of whether it is modern or ancient times, Shu Xiaohan has only one purpose, which is to increase food production and reduce food prices so that more people can fill their stomachs.

With such a dream in mind, Shu Xiaohan looked at the messy information in front of her with great enthusiasm, and kept immersed in sorting it out until the group stopped editing again.

The meal prepared by Nanny Xu had already been eaten up, and Gu Yuzhi could only eat rice cakes with the entourage in the past two days.

The first time Gu Yuzhi ate rice cakes, Qi Chenglang and others were secretly observing. After all, in their opinion, Gu Yuzhi was a spoiled little prince. Even if he had suffered a little during this period, he would definitely not be used to eating such rough dry food.

But who would have thought that although Gu Yuzhi's face was slightly wrinkled and he ate very slowly, he still didn't waste anything. In addition, in the past few days in Xinliang, Gu Yuzhi tried his best to walk by himself when he could. He never complained about hardship or tiredness. He really persisted. If he couldn't, the guards would take turns hugging him, and the guards would become more loyal to Gu Yuzhi.

Who could not love such a sensible and hard-working little master?

Only Shu Xiaohan pushed up her glasses and looked at the rice cake in Gu Yuzhi's hand, lost in thought.

She hadn't noticed before, why were the pancakes eaten by these people called rice pancakes?

"Little prince, what is the dry food in your hand made of?"

Gu Yuzhi swallowed the last piece of rice cake in his mouth, took two sips of the water handed by Xie Changshi: "It's rice cake." Xie Changshi said that it is made by mixing rice and brown rice, crushing it with a stone mill, and grinding it. Made by grinding it into powder.”

Shu Xiaohan blurted out: "Don't you eat noodles?"

Gu Yuzhi blinked his eyes and said suspiciously: "Teacher Shu, what is a noodle cake?"

Shu Xiaohan said nothing, her brows furrowed in thought.

It shouldn't be.According to the details such as the official position and title of the guards, it can be judged with a high probability that the Sang Dynasty should be compared to the Song and Ming Dynasties. Agriculture at this time should be considered relatively developed, especially wheat, which is one of the ancient grains and accounts for a large share of our country's food crops. Irreplaceable status, how come there is no wheat in Sang country?
Shu Xiaohan was particularly shocked by this realization for a while: "May I ask the young prince if he knows what is the main food of Sang country? Is there anyone growing wheat?"

Gu Yuzhi shook his head and took Xue Ye. He looked at Teacher Shu as if he was very important. He thought about it and asked in a low voice: "Xie Changshi, do you know Xiaomai?"

He was only five years old and had seen very few things, but Xie Changshi traveled around and studied, so he might know about it.

Despite the expectant look in Gu Yuzhi's eyes, Xie Changshi still shook his head: "I have never seen it or heard of it. What is this wheat? Where did your Highness learn about it?"

Oops!

Gu Yuzhi lowered his eyes and pulled at Xue Ye's hair. How should he explain it?
He puffed up his face and said: "I heard it from those exiles. Maybe I heard it wrong. Anyway, the Sichuan dialect they spoke was so melodramatic that I couldn't hear it clearly."

Yesterday when several people were walking out from Xinliang, they happened to meet the group of exiled people. Qi Chenglang was particularly vigilant. The prefect of Qi actually sent someone to chat with the official and learned that these people were from Sichuan and were not extremely evil people. It's just bad luck that someone in the clan is on the wrong team.

The officers were pretty good-tempered, and the prisoners didn't suffer too much, and they could sit together and chat during breaks.

Listening to these words that were like a book from heaven, Gu Yuzhi even asked a few curious questions, so Xie Changshi didn't have any doubts after hearing what he said.

Shu Xiaohan was now really sure that there was no wheat in Sang Country: "Little Prince, if there is a chance, I would like to go further north and look for any traces of wheat."

According to historical documents, domestic wheat should have been first discovered in Xinjiang, so she believed that there should be wheat in Sang State, but it had not been discovered yet.

"If we don't find it in Sang Kingdom, it would be best to go to Beidi." Seeing Gu Yuzhi's frightened face, she explained in a low voice, "Wheat is a very important food. If we can plant and cultivate good wheat, little prince, you He has made a very outstanding contribution to the country of Sang and even the entire continent."

The young Gu Yuzhi was not interested in any outstanding contributions at all. He simply did not want to go to Beidi: "I heard from the palace people that Beidi people eat raw meat and drink raw blood, just like wild beasts. They are all worse than Qi's guards." You have to be taller and stronger, and you can run very fast on horseback, and Beidi people eat children!"

Gu Yuzhi was scared just thinking about it. He pouted and said, "Especially me. If I go to Beidi, I will definitely be caught and eaten by them!"

Shu Xiaohan was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Who did you listen to? In history, Beidi people are indeed brave and good at fighting, but they are not so exaggerated. Drinking blood with raw hair is just an exaggeration."

Even so, it couldn't calm Gu Yuzhi's scared heart at the moment. He buried his face in his arms and kept mumbling, "If you don't listen, I won't listen," as if this way he wouldn't have to face the Beidi people.

"Besides, young prince, you are the prince, there is no need to do anything yourself. Even if you really have no choice but to go to Beidi in the end, you only need to send a few people with strong hands and good identification."

As that saying goes, if you don't lead a team, you will have to work until you die.

This sentence is still very applicable to the prince.
