After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

This is entirely beneficial for Zhu Qinggu.

Huaxia will invest and build here, while Datang will send some people here for training. Huaxia will teach them some technology and also buy their products, but there will definitely be a discount.

Datang, on the other hand, focused on attracting investment, and all the subsidies were converted into labor, land, minerals, and so on.

However, this is currently just a concept.

The system and Zhu Qinggu could see the benefits; it was as if both China in two different timelines were working for her and the system.

This will generate large-scale business far exceeding that of small shops, and the Time-Space Shop will also transform into a cross-time-space economic and trade organization, mediating disputes or doubts that arise among them.

Isn't this just a time-traveling version of the WTO?

However, stable trade routes are also needed for transactions.

A saying that every Chinese person firmly remembers—"To get rich, build roads first"—is a truth that holds true everywhere.

So, to make all of this a reality, we still need some money!

Zhu Qinggu also needs points to establish a stable spacetime portal.

A careful calculation shows that it requires five million points, and this is just the initial stage. Subsequent maintenance and operation will also require a significant investment of points.

Zhu Qinggu is currently making every effort to promote this matter.

Because of Li Shimin's military campaigns in Anxi, his swift and decisive reforms of the Shunzong Dynasty, and his brutal beating of Li Longji, his points continued to grow rapidly.

Including the points earned from the shop and the points earned from live streaming these past few days, it totals over two million, which is exactly half of five million.

Now, Zhu Qinggu must first respond to Li Shimin's earnest request and open a two-way channel between the Tang Dynasty and the modern world.

Previously, modern people could travel between time and space; now, ancient people can also travel between the future and their own time and space.

Zhu Qinggu hadn't forgotten one thing: after working away from home for half a month, she still needed to go home for the Chinese New Year!

Both of Zhu's parents urged him to go back home multiple times.

However, before ending this live stream, Zhu Qinggu still made it a habit to answer some fan questions and open the system store.

There are still many people from different timelines who didn't manage to grab anything, and they don't know if Zhu Qinggu will come to their timelines, so they are very concerned about the system shop.

"After I go back, I will continue to livestream. I promised to show everyone how people celebrate the New Year in future generations." This time, Zhu Qinggu didn't ask any random questions, but simply answered whatever he saw.

I am currently replying to a Qin Dynasty person named 'Jing'.

They were also curious about how people in later generations celebrated the New Year. Judging from Zhu Qinggu's appearance, he must have meat with every meal!

Each dynasty had a different calendar, so the New Year was also different. Even if the time was similar, the customs of the New Year varied from region to region.

Just like the Qin Dynasty, Zhu Qinggu only found out that the Qin Dynasty's New Year was in October after seeing the comments and then searching for it.

The Qin Dynasty used the Zhuanxu calendar, but it was replaced by the Taichu calendar during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han.

The Qin Dynasty believed itself to belong to the Water element, which is associated with the color black. October is the month of Hai, which corresponds to the color black, so their New Year was on October 1st.

Emperor Wu of Han's Taichu Calendar adjusted the start of the year to the first month, making it more suitable for the changing seasons and agricultural production.

(Qin Zi: Will people in later generations eat malt candy during the Lunar New Year?)

Zhu Qinggu replied, "Yes, we have candies, biscuits, melon seeds, peanuts, and other snacks."

With just a slight wave of her hand, numerous colorful snack images appeared on the sky.

The exquisite packaging paper, in particular, has sparked the imaginations of countless people.

Long ago, people recognized that sugar could make people feel happy and obsessed, and the taste of sugar immediately became the best among all the tastes.

Even in ancient times when resources were scarce, sugar was still available, but it was not something that ordinary people could easily obtain.

So someone else asked, "Why is there so much sugar in later generations? Is it similar to selecting seeds?"

As a result, more and more people in the sky began to discuss sugar.

Zhu Qinggu also loves to eat sweets, as do many other people. However, eating sweets and knowing the history of sweets are two different things.

“That’s true,” she said, noticing the person who asked the question. He was from the Han Dynasty. “Much of our sugar now comes from these two things.”

The shapes of beets and sugarcane gradually appeared on the sky.

Some people from the Qin Dynasty had their eyes light up. "Isn't this the wild mulberry tree? I've eaten it before. It's not very sweet, just very juicy!"

"Oh my, it even has a faint sweetness! It's just that the wild jujubes you ate weren't sweet!" another person said, his mouth already watering.

"So these can actually be used to make sugar! And they don't take up much space!" Some people with a keen eye had this idea.

Just like saving seeds, you only save the plump ones. So with the mulberry trees, you can always save the sweet and juicy ones.

Beetroot is not something most people have seen before; it was only introduced during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. However, many people have developed an interest in mulberry leaves.

"In later generations, there was a lot of sugar, primarily because improved planting techniques led to a significant increase in the yield of sugarcane, sugar beets, and so on. Secondly, processing techniques enabled us to extract sugar more efficiently."

Zhu Qinggu showed them some short clips, about the juicing and refining process, which resulted in white sugar as white as snow. This was very exciting for them.

Zhu Qinggu's shop has a wide variety of goods, including white sugar, brown sugar, fruit candy, and so on.

It has always been a state of supply falling short of demand, and with so many time and space options available, there are also many people who possess points.

Some people opened the store, looked at the goods that hadn't yet gone on sale, and swallowed hard.

Some people were concerned about the current situation of the white-haired soldiers in Anxi, so Zhu Qinggu showed them their condition. Seeing that they were all in high spirits and looking cheerful, everyone was relieved.

The ability to rewrite their fate has given many people hope.

People behind him asked questions, and Zhu Qinggu answered them selectively.

She knew many people were waiting for the store to open, but before it did, she had something to say.

"After the New Year, we will make some changes, so please look forward to it."

Zhu Yuanzhang keenly sensed something amiss: "Could it be related to the Tang Dynasty?"

Zhu Biao also felt it was a pity, saying, "If Miss Zhu had come to the Ming Dynasty first, the Ming Dynasty would definitely have been the first to try something new."

Everyone knows that the first person to try something new always reaps many benefits.

Li Shimin would certainly have reached some kind of agreement with those people in later generations.

Zhu Qinggu spoke out from above the sky, probably to let other timelines see what benefits they could gain.
