Time flies and it is now the end of April. The late spring cold has passed, the earth is green, and spring flowers are blooming.

The high-yield rice seeds have all been distributed to local government offices, and then from local government offices to the hands of the people. This was the last wave, and now we can still seize the opportunity to carry out spring ploughing and grow rice seedlings.

Because there were not enough rice seeds, the amount distributed to the people had to be reduced. If they were distributed based on the number of people, everyone would get seeds, no matter how many there were.

This high-yield rice variety set off a trend and there was cheering from all over the place. They had more or less heard that Zhizhou Heyang County was the birthplace of the high-yield rice variety.

Many people have already earned their first batch of money by relying on this high-yield rice.

The day for court session was approaching. Early in the morning, Su Desheng arranged for his eunuch Liao to come to the palace. He came to bring Princess Heli and Shen Ping into the palace.

This time, Princess Heli wants to trace her ancestral roots, and the Emperor wants to bestow her with a title in front of all the civil and military officials, to announce to the world that the lost princess has been found.

In addition, Shen Ping also went there to receive a reward because the high yield of rice was due to her.

In addition, the cotton seeds she brought have been planted in the experimental field by Minister of Agriculture Xia Dong, covering dozens of acres, and have now grown to several dozen centimeters tall.

According to her, if the yield per mu can reach several hundred kilograms, then these dozens of mu will be enough to supply the border soldiers of the entire Dazhi Dynasty with warm clothing and quilts next year.

At that time, the cotton seeds will be distributed to government offices in various places and let the people plant them.

In less than two years, the people of the Dazhi Dynasty will be able to wear cotton clothes and quilts. By then, the people will not only be able to eat enough, but also be able to wear warm clothes.

Food is the most important thing for people. Solving the problem of food and clothing means solving the two major problems of people's livelihood, which can be said to be a great achievement.

Not only that, Shen Ping also helped the emperor find the long-lost princess.

The Tenth Prince also went to the court this time, because his contribution was indispensable in transporting the high-yield rice back to the capital.

You have to know that it is almost ten thousand miles from the prefecture of Heyang to the capital. The Tenth Prince transported hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain first by land and then by water, and finally went ashore and traveled by land again.

It took several months of walking. In addition to the fatigue of traveling along the way, they also had to worry about robbers and bandits, and they had to pay out of their own pockets and mobilize a large amount of manpower. The hardships can be imagined, and the contribution is indelible.

From Eunuch Liao's joyful expression, they learned that the emperor was very pleased this time, so He Li and Shen Ping dressed up carefully.

In addition, Eunuch Liao also said that Ling and Liang Fu were allowed to accompany the princess, so he asked them to pack up and go to Beijing together.

The two were very happy, as they didn't expect that the emperor had not forgotten them. They quickly took a shower and washed up.

Cui Feng and the others could not help but envy Ling for accompanying them into the palace. Cui Hong shrugged and said, "Cui Feng, you have to know that the princess and the others have been waiting for this day for many years. We are not from the palace, so don't even think about going in to see it."

These days she also found out that Liang Fu and Ling used to be servants of the prince's mansion, serving the princess's mother, but were later framed and disappeared with the princess.

The prince at that time (also the current emperor) was furious and took his anger out on their families and threw them into jail.

There are also these two people who left their homes, hid from place to place, and were charged with false charges. I don't know how much suffering they endured.

Therefore, Cuihong was not envious of them being able to go to the capital. If the emperor could redress their wrongdoings, it would be a happy ending after all the suffering they had endured.

This time, Su Peisheng prepared five sedan chairs for them. After they were ready, they got on the sedan chairs and entered the palace.

In the court, civil and military officials were whispering to each other. They had heard rumors that the emperor would make an important announcement today, but they didn't know what it was.

So everyone was a little more curious about today's routine court session. Amid everyone's anticipation, the emperor finally went to court.

What followed was routine work, with each official reporting something and submitting a memorial.

After listening to the feedback from officials from all over the country, the emperor knew that the high-yield rice that the people would get had already been planted. In addition, he also listened to the report from the Minister of Agriculture on the latest situation of cotton.

After a morning of listening, the emperor couldn't help but feel relieved to hear that officials from all over the country had no important matters to report. If there was nothing important to report, it meant that the world was at peace, which was a good thing.

"Your Majesty, since your accession to the throne, this year you have finally solved the worries of the people. By then, this high-yield rice will be popularized throughout the country, and the people will no longer be hungry.

And the cotton, the yield per mu can reach several hundred kilograms, then the people will be able to eat and wear warm clothes, this is all the credit of the emperor. "Grand Minister of Agriculture Xia Dong looked delighted.

As the Minister of Agriculture, he was obsessed with studying various crops. These two crops opened up the New World, which was enough for him to study for a long time.

Now his daughter is no longer obsessed with the Tenth Prince. She has listened to her mother and has fallen in love with the Grand Tutor's son Feng Ming. Right now, the ladies of their two families are discussing their marriage.

This matter was largely thanks to Shen Ping, otherwise if her daughter really married the Tenth Prince, it would have been a real disaster for her.

It was only later that Xia Dong found out that the Tenth Prince had married Shen Ping's daughter when he was the prefect.

Fortunately, Shen Ping intervened, otherwise my daughter would have been in tears and would not have been able to live such a good life now.

The Taifu's son Feng Ming was young and promising, with good character, so Taifu felt relieved when his daughter married him.

"Yes, yes, this is all thanks to the emperor~" After hearing what the Minister of Agriculture said, the officials nodded in agreement.

The emperor smiled and waved his hand: "Lord Xia, you are wrong. This is not all my credit. It is also thanks to Shen Ping and my tenth brother. What I am going to say next is related to them."

Then the emperor looked at Eunuch Su: "Su Desheng~"

Su Desheng understood and shouted loudly: "Xuan Shenping greets you~"

All the civil and military officials looked towards the door, only to see a woman walking in slowly and calmly. She responded to everyone's gazes with neither humility nor arrogance, and smiled.

Walking to the front of the hall, Shen Ping bowed and saluted: "I, Shen Ping, pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the emperor."

The emperor laughed heartily: "Haha..." Then he waved his hand: "No need to be polite~"

Seeing this, the officials below began to whisper.

"Who is this Shen Ping? She doesn't even kneel when she sees the emperor~"

"That's right! How arrogant!"

"I heard that it was the high-yield rice she found..."

These words stunned everyone's eyes. The woman in front of them looked only about 30 years old, yet she could find this kind of rice.

Everyone looked at Shen Ping with even more admiration.

The problem that had troubled the Grand Minister of Agriculture for a long time was unexpectedly solved by this lady.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's next words shocked them even more.
