The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 291 The Little Princess Who Never Tires of It!

"Although these machines cannot be widely promoted, the curved-shaft plow is already being prepared, and it is much better than the previous straight-shaft plow." Li Shimin was looking forward to the next two years, during which the Tang Dynasty would undergo earth-shattering changes.

In the normal course of history, the curved plow did not appear until the mid-to-late Tang Dynasty, and it was only in the Jiangdong region that it gradually emerged.

The curved plow truly became widespread around the end of the Tang Dynasty.

It appeared more than a hundred years ahead of schedule, which is quite a leap forward.

"Yes, that's good!" Empress Zhangsun nodded.

Empress Xiao, standing nearby, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and felt a pang of envy for Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

This relationship is truly exceptional.

Empress Xiao has now gotten used to the tea here, and she no longer feels comfortable drinking the tea from the Tang Dynasty.

The three little princesses returned after changing their clothes, and the hall was cleaned.

It's getting lively again.

As soon as Xiao Ran sat down, Li Shimin asked, "Xiao Ran! I remember that white sugar and rock sugar are sold at particularly high prices in supermarkets."

"Your Majesty, these things are not just for eating, they are seasonings, but also strategic resources nowadays, they are very important."

Li Shimin nodded. "What I mean is, could we get more from the Tang Dynasty? I think I heard from Sixth Sister that rock honey can be purified, right?"

"Yes, sugarcane can be used to make brown sugar, which is rock sugar. Rock sugar can be purified to make white sugar. But there isn't much sugarcane in the Tang Dynasty, is there? Here, sugarcane is only grown in Guangdong and Guangxi. It's a hot fruit and can't be grown in other places."

"No, the temperature seems to be high in this era. It seems that sugarcane can be grown near Zhongnan Mountain. I saw sugarcane when I went there before, but there wasn't much of it." Xiao Ran thought of this.

"Then shouldn't we grow more of it? I also think sugarcane is very important, not just for making money, but also as a strategic resource! The Tang Dynasty should prepare more of it, shouldn't we?"

“Okay, we can give it a try.” Xiao Ran nodded.

"Let me think about this matter and talk to Dalang and the others. Let's plant more sugarcane. There's plenty of land and few people now, so it won't affect the drying yield. Anyway, we'll be promoting corn and other crops soon." Li Shimin thought it was fine.

"Sugarcane isn't difficult to make."

Li Lizhi, who was standing next to her, didn't say anything. She opened her phone and searched for information about sugarcane to find out how it was grown.

I've never seen sugarcane grown before, so I really didn't know.

Now that Li Lizhi wants to develop her career in agriculture, she naturally needs to learn more about it.

Li Lizhi benefited greatly from the small greenhouse in Lizheng Hall.

This is the first time I've felt the joy of a harvest.

I've never done this before, but now I find it's quite good.

Watching the fruits and vegetables I plant slowly grow and eventually harvest them gives me a great sense of accomplishment.

Li Lizhi didn't just want to enjoy the process; she wanted to ensure that the people of the Tang Dynasty could have enough to eat.

Although the Tang Dynasty is currently stable and free from war, the lives of ordinary people are not actually very good.

It's hard to even get enough to eat; it's more like barely surviving.

Millet is a staple food and the staple food for most people. It tastes average and has a very low yield.

An acre of land isn't much, and you have to pray there aren't any natural disasters, otherwise it's normal to have no harvest at all.

With taxes and low household yields, ordinary people don't have much surplus grain, and they're bound to go hungry in years of famine.

They have a very poor ability to withstand risks.

Li Lizhi wanted to change this situation and hoped that people's families would have more surplus grain.

I often go to greenhouses to pick fruits and vegetables, and I feel that what I grow myself tastes better than what I buy.

It wasn't just Li Lizhi who felt this way; the little princesses did too.

They smell better when picked by yourself.

While chatting, Xiao Ran would occasionally glance at the three little princesses.

They're either chasing after the dog or chasing after the robot vacuum.

They seem tireless and have boundless energy.

Xiao Ran's ideal child is a little princess, innocent, pure, and adorable.

She has some hobbies, is lively and active, but is also very sensible.

Sometimes they are very well-behaved and obedient.

Noticing that Li Lizhi's complexion was not normal and that she was clutching her lower abdomen with one hand, Xiao Ran got up and went to the kitchen.

Seeing Xiao Ran enter the kitchen, Yu Shuxiang followed.

“Young master, what do you need to do? I’ll do it,” Yu Shu said.

"It's alright, Madam Yushu, you can go about your business. I'll just take a look around." As he spoke, Xiao Ran took out some brown sugar and other things.

Xiao Ran also knew that these things were actually useless, and pain relief was unrealistic.

It's nice to warm your body and your heart in the dead of winter.

Xiao Ran quickly cooked a bowl of brown sugar water following the online instructions.

Xiao Ran carried a small bowl and sat down next to Li Lizhi. "Changle, have some."

Li Lizhi was a little confused. "Young master, what is this?"

Brown sugar water.

Li Lizhi has been watching a lot of short videos in the past six months and knows a lot about what's happening in this era.

Li Lizhi blushed slightly, took the small bowl, and said, "Okay, thank you, young man!"

Whether it's useful or not seems unimportant now; having the intention is what matters.

Although Li Lizhi was a little embarrassed, she was secretly delighted.

I picked up the small bowl and took a small sip.

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun on the other side were unaware, but Empress Xiao saw it.

I don't know what Li Lizhi was drinking, but I can guess from her shy expression.

A slight smile played on her lips, a hint of nostalgia for her younger days.

"How wonderful! How wonderful it is to be young," Empress Xiao murmured to herself.

Seeing Li Lizhi carrying a bowl, the little princess came running over, "Sister, what's this?!"

This little foodie wants to try everything she sees others eating.

"This is medicine for my older sister; Sizi won't take it." Xiao Ran rubbed the little princess's face.

Upon hearing that it was medicine, the little princess tiptoed and reached out her little hand to touch Li Lizhi's forehead.

"Does my sister need a shot?"

“No need, just take some medicine. Would you like to try some, Sizi?” Li Lizhi said deliberately, “It’s a little bitter.”

"No~ Sister, I need your medicine~"

The little princess only eats sweets and cannot tolerate any bitterness.

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang also came over to ask Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi smiled when she saw her three younger sisters.

“After the New Year, I’ve grown another year older,” Li Lizhi suddenly said.

Xiao Ran understood what this meant; it wasn't referring to the three little princesses, but rather to Li Lizhi herself.

“Yes, that’s right!” Xiao Ran replied.

"Young master, let's go see a movie! I heard Yingniang say that movie theaters are completely different from home, and I haven't experienced it yet."

Xiao Ran looked at the little princess, "Okay, when are we going?"

Li Lizhi also thought of the little princess; if she went during the day, she would definitely need to bring three little maids with her.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Let's go tonight, after Sizi and the others are asleep."

"Okay! When?" Xiao Ran is fine with anything.

How was tonight?

"Okay, let me check the movie tickets. Chang Le, what kind of movie do you want to see?"

Li Lizhi shook her head, "I don't really know, young master can choose."

What you see isn't important; what's important is going with Xiao Ran.
