Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam

"This is corn. It is planted in spring from March to April. In some areas, it is planted in summer from June to July... It matures in three to four months... These things can be eaten as staple food..."

As the emperor listened to these words, his expression gradually became serious.

"Can these things be eaten as staple food?"

Seeing Princess Zhaoyang nod, the emperor asked about what he was most concerned about.

“How much is this production?”

“The production of sweet potatoes and potatoes is greater than that of rice.”

Before Princess Zhaoyang finished her words, the emperor looked at her in surprise.

"What did you say? The output of these things is more than that of rice?"

The emperor looked at Princess Zhaoyang with some shock.

"Indeed."

“How much more than rice?”

In recent years, the emperor has been receiving memorials from various places, reporting that grain production has decreased in some places and that some places have been hit by disasters. Every year, the grain collected by the court must not only be supplied to the border, but also allocated to the disaster-stricken areas.

Now when the emperor heard Princess Zhaoyang say that the yield of this thing was higher than that of rice, he immediately became happy and asked quickly.

"It's probably five or six times more than the yield per mu of rice."

The emperor stood up suddenly and stared at Princess Zhaoyang blankly.

"Royal sister, how much do you say?"

He must have heard it wrong. The per-acre yield of these things is more than five or six times that of rice.

The current rice yield per mu is 300 to 400 kilograms. Even if there are five or six of these, that would be 2,000 kilograms per mu? How is this possible?

"Royal sister, this is not a joke. This thing is extremely important. If it is really that good, then the people of Daxia will be blessed, and you will be a hero to the people of Daxia..."

The emperor said anxiously.

"Brother, this thing was not discovered by my sister."

Princess Zhaoyang did not respond to the emperor's words.

Princess Zhaoyang didn't find it? Then who did?

Hearing Princess Zhaoyang say this, the emperor smiled and said.

"Whoever discovered it, if the rice harvest is five or six times greater, I will reward him handsomely..."

The emperor thought of his nephews at the border. Could it be that they discovered it?

If they really discovered it, then there would be no problem in awarding them one or two titles. As long as they were obedient and did not follow Prince Chen to do anything, if they followed Prince Chen and did something secretly, he would not forgive them.

"Royal sister, please tell me who discovered this. I will summon him to the palace and interrogate him carefully."

"To answer your question, it was my sister's daughter, Gu Zhao."

Gu Zhao, the daughter of the emperor's younger sister?

Isn't that the wife of the Marquis of Qin? The eldest daughter of Minister Gu?

How did she find this thing?

The emperor immediately became suspicious.

Although he had doubts in his heart, at this moment, he still wanted to find out the truth first.

"Eunuch Hai, go and tell the wife of the Marquis Qin to come to the palace immediately."

"Yes."

The emperor was extremely happy at this moment.

A few years ago, he wanted to build the Zhaixing Tower, but the national treasury was empty. Although he had earned a lot of money from his private treasury in recent years, the money in the national treasury was still not enough.

It is impossible for him to give away all the money in his private treasury.

He had to keep half the money.

This Zhaixing Tower cannot be built by spending just a little money.

If he increases taxes, the people will riot. Not only will the people riot, but the censors and ministers will also file memorials to oppose it.
