The Five-and-a-Half-Year-Old Prince: Opening Up Wastelands and Being Pampered

After the ascension of the new emperor, Gu Yuzhi, only five years old, was exiled to Mobei with the title of Prince Wen. Ministers objected, officials sympathized, and even his retinue believed he was doomed. Gu Yuzhi knew he had become the poorest prince in history. To survive in Mobei, he coquettishly begged his imperial brother for rewards. He unexpectedly awakened the dual systems of agriculture and commerce.

Thus, the young prince led everyone to reclaim land, farm, do business, and build infrastructure. The agricultural system featured modern professor Teacher Shu, and the commercial system had a former imperial merchant, Shopkeeper Wen. Their differing ancient and modern concepts and gender differences gave Gu Yuzhi a headache but also benefited him greatly. His life gradually flourished, and the days of being a carefree prince were within reach.

But what was happening? The previously gentle long history taught him to cultivate his own influence, and the exiled great general secretly taught him military strategy and martial arts. When the Northern Di invaded, he led the people to defend their homeland. When the princes rebelled, he helped his imperial brother quell internal strife.

Just as everyone worried he would be feared by the emperor, Gu Yuzhi waved his hand and said it was fine; he was just his imperial brother's tool.
