Minister Gu smiled as he talked to the adults. The smile on his face was uglier than crying. Although Yun Zhao didn't give him face now, in the eyes of outsiders, Yun Zhao and Minister Gu were still a family.

The number of people who congratulated him today was much greater than when Yun Zhao got married.

He could imagine how many more people would approach him and try to win him over.

After visiting this manor, Yun Zhao took them to another manor. These two manors were Yun Zhao’s official manors. Yun Zhao had no intention of exposing the other manor to the emperor.

Otherwise, if the emperor knew the real data in her hand, he would definitely take away half of the grain directly instead of listening to what she said now.

"Let's stop here today." Yun Zhao said to Minister Lu with a smile.

"I will go to the palace right away and talk to the emperor about the grain issue."

"Okay, thank you, Princess."

Yun Zhao and Qin Chen took a carriage back to the capital and went straight into the palace.

"Your Majesty, Princess Chao'an and Prince Qin request an audience."

When the emperor heard Yun Zhao's request for an audience, he guessed that Yun Zhao came for the crops. He knew that Yun Zhao would not give these things to him willingly. He planned to pay a sum of money to buy them.

As for how much the money is, let Yun Zhao ask for it herself. If she dares to ask for a high price, he will definitely record it, hum...

"Let them in."

Yun Zhao and Qin Chen walked in, and when they saw the emperor, they immediately knelt down with a very respectful attitude.

"I have met the emperor."

"Meet the Emperor, Uncle."

Hearing Yun Zhao calling him uncle, the emperor nodded with a smile.

"Flat body."

The emperor glanced at Qin Chen and then at Gu Zhao.

"What's the matter with Chaoan coming to the palace to see his uncle again?"

Yun Zhao respectfully handed over a booklet and said.

"Uncle Emperor, Chao An wants to talk to you about letting the people grow these crops."

Hearing Yun Zhao's words, the emperor raised his eyebrows, pretended to be very interested, and said.

"Chao An, tell your uncle about this."

Yun Zhao opened his mouth and talked about planting.

Yun Zhao had said these words to Minister Lu before, and now it seemed even more natural for her to say them to the emperor.

"Uncle Emperor, Chaoan has thought before that if all this grain is given to the Ministry of Revenue, it can indeed increase a lot of income. However, if it is given to the Ministry of Revenue, some prefectures will be allocated for these people to grow it. It is better to let the people buy it themselves according to their household registration, five cents per catty, and each household is limited to ten catties..."

The emperor was a little displeased at first, but as he listened, he felt that the pie drawn by Yun Zhao seemed too big and round.

Five coins per catty, 10 catties is 50 coins, 100 catties is 500 coins, 200 catties is one tael of silver. Yun Zhao has at least several hundred thousand catties. Moreover, the people have to pay half of their production this time, but they don't have to pay it in the second year, and only collect taxes...

His sons gave birth to grandchildren, and their descendants doubled and doubled again. He couldn't even count the number.

What Yun Zhao said was of course correct. If it entered the Ministry of Revenue, the highest bidder would win. At that time, these things would be divided up by the aristocratic families. The common people would not even get 10% of the seeds.

There were still countless people who would go hungry. How could he, as an emperor, watch the noble families grow stronger? Of course, he had to make the people more grateful to him and leave a good reputation in history books.
