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

Zhong Shidao was surprised not only by Di Qing, but also by the names of Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Zhenzong, and Emperor Renzong mentioned here...

And the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty...

Did they know that the Song Dynasty was in trouble, so they returned here?

And this light, it's like daytime... Zhong Shidao looked at the light bulb in the main hall, he didn't understand why this round thing could emit such light.

But I gradually came to understand that whether it was Emperor Taizu or Emperor Taizong, these emperors, these civil and military officials, or even these lamps, they were all brought by that group of people whose clothing and appearance were different from those of the time.

They are people from more than a thousand years in the future, and have been to many dynasties, such as the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty, which is right after the Song Dynasty!

They didn't deliberately hide anything, and Zhong Shidao guessed it from their words and conversations.

The boiled 'melon' in front of him was of unknown origin, but it tasted especially sweet. Emperor Taizu said that it was grain that he had gone to great lengths to buy from the stingy Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty.

Old Zhu had a bumper harvest of grain. Not only did the sweet potato tubers in his later life have a good harvest, but even those in his original timeline had a quick harvest because of the fertilizer he used.

Zhu Qinggu recalled that when he went home for the Dragon Boat Festival last time, his grandparents said that the sweet potatoes at home were planted in April or May and usually did not mature until October or November. Old Zhu was also very anxious now. It was possible that the sweet potatoes could be harvested, but it was probably due to some change in time and space. Agricultural experts were actually studying this and wanted to try various methods.

Zhong Shidao didn't know anything about the stingy Old Zhu, but when he later heard that this kind of melon called sweet potato could yield several thousand catties per mu, he was immediately surprised.

There is such a thing as food in this world.

But Emperor Taizu still had reservations. He said he wanted to grow potatoes or develop some kind of specialized animal husbandry to differentiate himself from the Tang and Ming dynasties. After all, they were used to cooperating with later generations, and later generations might still be importing vegetables, sweet potatoes, or rice from them.

The Song Dynasty certainly cannot do this; it must find another way.

Then Emperor Taizu discussed with Emperor Taizong, Emperor Zhenzong, Emperor Renzong, and others, as well as with later generations such as Miss Zhu, Miss Bai, and Young Master Liao.

If it weren't for the current Jurchen invasion and the critical situation, Zhong Shidao would not have thought they were in any hurry at all.

Thinking about it, Zhong Shidao shook his head slightly, feeling a little relieved. Emperor Taizong and Emperor Taizu could not only bring civil and military officials, but also a large army. So what danger or fear did he have?

They were talking about these things, and some people were busy. Zhong Shidao looked at the sand table in front of him, which was slightly different from the current sand table and was more detailed. Di Qing was piling things up here.

But as he looked around, Zhong Shidao noticed something was different.

Di Qing noticed his confusion and said to him, "The First Battle of Kaifeng."

Then, after quickly adjusting the situation, he said to Zhong Shidao, "The second siege of Kaifeng."

He piled up some sand, marking the Song Dynasty's territory on the other side, and said in a somber tone, "The Southern Song... never returned to the capital throughout the entire Song Dynasty."

"Some people were still thinking 'Cross the river! Cross the river!' on their deathbeds; others had already returned to the old capital, only to be brought back by twelve imperial edicts, and ultimately died unjustly..."

Zhong Shidao didn't know who he was talking about, but he could still recall those tragic scenes from his words.

"When the royal army has pacified the Central Plains, remember to tell your father at the family sacrifice!" Di Qing said each word deeply at the end. He looked up and seemed to see the cries and sorrows of countless people in countless times and spaces who cared about the Song Dynasty.

Zhong Shidao was also moved by this deep expectation.

……

When the live stream ended today, Zhu Qinggu realized that she had done quite a lot. She had actually heard Di Qing recite the line "Do not forget to tell your father at the family sacrifice" earlier. In the past, when she was in class, she did not think much of it and just regarded it as a learning task or an exam task.

But now, she finally understood the deep sorrow in the poem—the pain of having no way to serve one's country and being powerless against reality.

Fortunately, she has the ability to change things.

"Thanks, system."

The system needs to operate in many places, which requires a lot of her computing power. Only with the next upgrade can her computing power be improved again, so she speaks less now.

But upon hearing Zhu Qinggu's words, she would still reply, "The system also thanks the host, and the people of the future also thank the host."

Zhu Qinggu shook his head and smiled.

During their short day of rest, Zhao Kuangyin and his men had many things to attend to, while Zhu Qinggu simply browsed Douyin (TikTok) to check on the international situation.

Then I went to see Gao Yaoying.

Gao Yueying has been promoted one after another. She earned it all herself. As she made the 'company' bigger and stronger, her position naturally rose accordingly.

She already has a firm grip on the operation of several time-space goods, but she still doesn't dare to easily relinquish control over the store, because that's her foundation.

However, Zhu Qinggu did not come today to check on her work, but rather to see what new progress had been made in the 'farm-supermarket cooperation' between Tang Chao and Gao Yueying.

Farm-supermarket cooperation is essentially a direct connection between farmers or cooperatives and supermarkets. Farmers grow and harvest agricultural products according to the supermarkets' needs, perform simple processing, and then supply the products directly to the supermarkets, bypassing traditional wholesale and retail intermediaries.

It has advantages for farmers, supermarkets, and consumers.

The initial investment cost is relatively high.

Vegetables are the fastest-growing crop right now, and they can be produced continuously. Gao Yueying is also selling them to people from different time periods through her shop.

Some vegetables from the Tang Dynasty were also supplied to the Ming Dynasty and to some supermarkets in later generations.

Zhu Qinggu took a look at a large local supermarket. In the vegetable section, there was a special sign indicating that it was a certain type of green vegetable.

We are currently supplying chives, bean sprouts, pea shoots, bok choy, lettuce, amaranth...

The price is actually about the same as the organic vegetables next door.

Within minutes of her standing there looking around, a couple pushed their cart over, examining the vegetables. Given that the prices were similar, they naturally chose the fresher ones.

These vegetables were harvested by farmers in Datang early this morning and transported over immediately. After passing quality inspection, they were put on the market without delay and are still very fresh and green.

Actually, these dishes are already being served in the base's canteen. By next month, we might even be able to eat white-feathered chickens raised during the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qinggu still found it very strange.

She wandered around for about twenty minutes, and people bought vegetables one after another. These people didn't know for the time being that these vegetables came from another time and space and were grown for them by their ancestors.

I wonder if they'll be amazed when they find out later, realizing that they've been eating vegetables grown by their ancestors for a long time.
