Gu Zhao knew that her mother would enter the palace today, and she also knew that the emperor would summon her.

Hearing the eunuch coming to deliver the message from the palace, Gu Zhao took a carriage into the palace.

When Gu Zhao arrived at Shoukang Palace and saw the emperor, he immediately saluted.

"Meet the Emperor, Uncle, the Empress Dowager, Grandmother, and Mother."

Hearing what Gu Zhao said, the emperor burst into laughter.

"Zhao'er, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor."

After Gu Zhao stood up, the emperor pointed at the food on the table and said.

"Tell your uncle what these things are about?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Gu Zhao replied.

"To answer your uncle's question, Zhao'er used to follow his master to treat the people at the border. Later, he found these things in some shops at the border. He heard from the foreigners that these things are edible..."

Gu Zhao explained the situation again.

"So you just planted it?"

"Yes, in the past few years, the planting effect was not very good and the harvest was not good. It was only in the past two years that we found a way..."

Hearing Gu Zhao say this, the emperor nodded and asked again.

"So where have they been planted in recent years?"

"I found a few plots of land at the border, and also some remote places in the capital, Chu, and Jiangnan..."

"Is its yield per mu really more than 2,000 kilograms per mu?"

"Some fields are fertile and can produce more than 2,000 kilograms per mu, while some fields are poor and can produce less per mu."

The emperor asked some more questions, and Gu Zhao took out a booklet and handed it over with both hands.

"Uncle Emperor, these are all the data recorded by Zhao'er..."

Hearing this, the emperor took the booklet from Gu Zhao and read it carefully.

The emperor looked at it for a stick of incense, and after he finished, his face was full of smiles.

"Good good."

The emperor looked at Eunuch Hai again and said.

"Eunuch Hai, go and summon the cabinet ministers, the six ministers, and the princes to the palace to discuss matters."

The emperor asked again.

"Royal sister, are there any more of these things in the palace?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Princess Zhaoyang nodded.

"To answer my brother's question, there are still some in the palace."

"Hurry up and ask the imperial kitchen and the small kitchen of Shoukang Palace to make more. I want the ministers to taste it. This is really God's blessing for our Great Xia..."

The smile on the emperor's face grew even wider.

The emperor looked at Gu Zhao again, his eyes full of approval.

"The Emperor will definitely reward you handsomely. What reward do you want?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhao shook his head.

"To answer your uncle's words, Zhao'er did these things without thinking of any reward. I just thought that if these things were really edible and the yield was really high, then the people would have enough to eat."

"What a great way to ensure that the people have enough food to eat." The emperor looked at Gu Zhao with even more loving eyes.

"Later, you and I will go to the Imperial Study and introduce these things to the ministers..." the emperor said. "Did you bring out those fresh crops?"

Gu Zhao nodded.

"Bring it."

"Okay, follow me to the imperial study."

The concubines in the harem knew that Princess Zhaoyang had entered the palace. In the past few months, Princess Zhaoyang had entered the palace from time to time. However, after Princess Zhaoyang entered the palace, the emperor issued an order to summon the wife of the Marquis of Qin to the palace. The emperor also stayed in Shoukang Palace for more than an hour, and many concubines immediately became confused.

Later, they heard that the emperor summoned the cabinet ministers, the six ministers, and the princes to the palace to discuss matters. The concubines in the harem wanted to know even more what had happened.

Everyone sent people out to inquire.
