Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Zhao Youfu's series of actions showed that he was really scared. Seeing this, no one in the village, regardless of their surnames, dared to try to avoid the consequences of angering Zhao Youfu.

"Hey~ Just keep an eye on Zhao Youcai and don't talk nonsense. I'm here because the royal family sent us princes to learn farming skills. Just keep it a secret. If our village does better than others in the future and word gets to my father, your village's good days will be over."

Things like this will be exposed sooner or later. Zhao Sheng gave Zhao Youfu a heads-up because he was worried that there would be changes in the future, especially Zhao Zhen who was by his side. He needed her help to do something.

So, he thought for a moment and said to Zhao Youfu, "The princess came with me. The emperor doesn't know about this yet. Her status is much stricter than mine. If she knew about me, at most her entire clan would be exterminated."

"If anyone knows about the princess' affairs, I guess everyone who knows will be punished along with their entire clan."

Zhao Sheng's words were like a bolt from the blue, and Zhao Youfu instantly understood the horror of it.

He also knew that it was not a good idea to scare them like this all the time. One of the reasons why he chose this place was that it had a small population and was easier to operate!

Moreover, it was obvious that there was something wrong with the soil. It was extremely difficult for the people here to make a living by farming. The only way was to develop their own power. He would then try to lead them to become rich with the help of his later experience.

Of course, what Zhao Sheng meant by getting rich was just to solve the problem of food and clothing.

The second thing he wanted to do most was to live in anonymity. This was Zhao County, and most people had the surname Zhao.

The great hide in the city, the small hide in the wild!

Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, Zhao Sheng said, "I just talked to Uncle Youfu about this. Since our village is called Shigang Village, we can't rely on the land for our livelihood."

Zhao Youcai was still furious and blurted out, "If we don't rely on the land for our livelihood, what will we rely on?"

Zhao Sheng picked up a stone from the ground playfully, knocked it against the ground, and said with a smile, "Trust me, and we'll all have a meal today. If you don't believe me, please do as you please. My last name is Zhao, and I don't mind making friends with other surnames."

After saying that, he took out some loose silver from his pocket and showed it off in front of everyone. This silver was the change from the inn before.

"Could any of you please go buy some rice and vegetables? I think this is enough for everyone in this village!"

The prices in the Zhou Dynasty were not expensive at that time, and the coarse grains that the people ate were very cheap. It was mainly meat and by-products that were expensive.

Zhao Youfu saw that he couldn't let someone from another family do this job, so he called his son and said, "Go, buy today's food rations and some oil and salt according to the population of the village."

When Zhao Sheng heard about the oil and salt, he was particularly worried that they would buy coarse salt, so he said, "Use fine salt. Our village will rely on fine salt in the future."

Everyone thought it was a joke. The people of Shigang Village came and went, and were born and died so often. They were lucky to be able to eat coarse salt over the years, let alone fine salt.

"Um..." Zhao Sheng pointed at Zhao Long and asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhao Long!"

Zhao Youfu added something to the side. Zhao Sheng saw that Zhao Long seemed older than him, so he called out, "Brother Long, go buy some noodles. When you come back, we'll make pancakes. We'll also buy some meat and oil. They'll be especially delicious when wrapped in pancakes."

When Zhao Long heard about eating pancakes, he immediately calculated in his mind how many people would be there and how much oil he would need to buy. As for meat, he did not include it in the budget.

Zhao Sheng estimated that the silver he gave was not enough, so he searched his pockets, took out all the change and gave it to Zhao Long.

Moreover, when he came, he drove a donkey cart, and asked Zhao Long to drive the cart to do the work, so that things could be done faster.

In the eyes of everyone, his action meant that he had run out of money. In an instant, the eyes of those who were watching the fun became teary. This young man in front of them was so kind that he took out all the money he had and bought food for them.

Zhao Youcai also thought so, and was very happy in his heart. He thought that after having a delicious meal tonight, he would drive Zhao Sheng out of the village if he ran out of money.

"I'm planning to live here. Does anyone in the village know how to build a house? I can't stay in the village without a place to live!"

"You mean you want to build a house?" Zhao Youfu asked.

"That's a must, what else can we do?" Zhao Sheng asked back.

Zhao Youfu looked at the sky and thought that there was not much work to do in the fields at this time of year. The first thing people who came here would do was to reclaim the land. If they wanted to build a house, then they could build one. But what kind of house would a person of status want to live in?

Because someone passed the word that there was a new person and invited everyone to have a meal together!

"Chihui" is an ancient term. "Hui" means to gather grains, so "Chihui" is self-explanatory.

In this way, more and more people came to the yard of Zhao Youcai's house. Zhao Erniu was still looking at his father. Zhao Hu looked up to see how many people had come from the village.

Hu Yifei used to be a hunter. Since he fled here, the land he planted was almost a waste of seeds and he didn't get much harvest. When he heard that the newlyweds were treating him to a meal, he followed them to the gate of the compound.

He had rough bronze skin, an untrimmed beard, sunken and lifeless eye sockets, a bare chest and a hunched back. He found a place to squat at the door.

Seeing that more and more people were coming, Zhao Zhen leaned towards Zhao Sheng, so that his hand unconsciously reached for the short blade in his arms.

"What kind of house do you plan to build?" asked Zhao Youfu.

"There's a yard. Build two rooms first, and then build a side room."

"No distinction?"

"No distinction for now, we'll see later."

"Then it will be similar to our house." Zhao Youfu said with a smile. He was still thinking about the gold medal. Shouldn't a person of such status build a palace?

"What's the house made of?"

“It’s a mix of bricks and wood.”

"I think it's okay. Apply a handful of white lime and fill the middle with soil. It should be solid."

Zhao Sheng saw that there were still capable people in this village, and some of them were skilled in building houses.

"I think the courtyard wall should be made of large adobe bricks with thatch on top. We are not afraid of anything here."

"I plan to make the yard bigger so that it will be more convenient for the people working in the back."

Hearing someone mention the yard, Zhao Sheng continued.

"How big a yard do you want?" Zhao Youfu asked carefully.

"Let's start with the five-courtyard structure."

As soon as Zhao Sheng finished speaking, Zhao Youfu almost couldn't hold his breath. The two rooms were surrounded by a large courtyard with five entrances. It seemed that this man was used to living in a big house.

"You still have to cover the back, right?"

At this moment, Zhao Sheng was calculating rapidly in his mind, wondering where he could get more money. The money he brought with him was not enough to support the entire village.

"Of course." He answered casually when asked by Zhao Youfu.

The people who were listening on the side were shocked when they heard this. What the hell is this new guy planning to do?

They didn't know that Zhao Sheng had worked in many professions in his previous life, and he was particularly sensitive to the land and soil. Biotechnology was also his specialty, and refining and extraction was his compulsory course.

So, he looked at the environment of the village and he was not very impressed. It would be difficult to get a good harvest by growing crops unless...
