The emperor wanted her to teach the technology to Minister Lu's Ministry of Revenue with just these words, and then all the harvest would become the emperor's.

The emperor’s dream was too beautiful.

After Yun Zhao finished the work at hand, he also dealt with the affairs in the mansion. Just as he was about to take a break, he heard Cuihua's report.

"Master, Minister Lu has arrived with Minister Gu and other officials from the Ministry of Revenue. They are in the main hall and want to see you."

Yun Zhao nodded, stood up and walked towards the main hall.

Minister Lu, Minister Gu and others were sitting in the main hall. Old Madam Qin and Madam Qin greeted them with a smile.

"Meet Princess Chaoan."

Seeing Yun Zhao coming in, everyone bowed to him.

"Please stand up, my lords. What do you want to see me for?"

After hearing what Princess Chaoan said, Minister Lu spoke.

"In reply to your question, at the court meeting today, Prince Ning said that sweet potatoes and potatoes can be grown in greenhouses, and he also said that you successfully planted them last year..."

Minister Lu simply told the story again.

He then repeated the emperor's instructions.

After hearing what Minister Lu said, Yun Zhao frowned.

"Lord Lu, greenhouses can indeed grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, but this requires very experienced farmers, and the investment is huge... If you are not careful, you may lose everything. Ordinary people should never do this... If your Ministry of Revenue grows this, you can send people to learn, but I can't guarantee how it will turn out..."

Yun Zhao didn't want to take this responsibility herself. If someone did something bad, and she invested hundreds of thousands of taels of silver but ended up with little harvest, or if it was destroyed by someone, the situation would be extremely unfavorable to her.

After hearing what Princess Chao'an said, Minister Lu understood that what Princess Chao'an said was all from the heart. But since the emperor had given the order, they couldn't not plant. At this time, they had to plant in large quantities.

When Minister Lu heard what Princess Chao'an said, he sighed in his heart. What Princess Chao'an said was indeed true. He knew the greenhouse very well. In the royal manor, the annual expenditure of the greenhouse was much more than other expenses. Moreover, there was always a failure rate of 30% to 50% in the royal manor every year. Some of the vegetables turned yellow and withered, some were not discovered in time, the charcoal fire inside went out, the vegetables were frozen, and some were not of good quality.

Things like sweet potatoes and potatoes take longer to grow than vegetables. Ordinary vegetables can be harvested in one or two months, but potatoes and sweet potatoes take four months to grow, and the temperature must be kept consistent for four months, which is indeed very difficult.

When the emperor issued this order, he secretly groaned in his heart. He also talked about the difficulty of planting in the court, but several other ministers said that they would also plant greenhouses and let the people in the farm learn, and they must plant these grain seeds in advance.

When the emperor heard what these people said, he immediately ordered the Ministry of Revenue to distribute a batch of grain seeds to the aristocratic families in advance. Of course, each family would still receive ten kilograms, but each aristocratic family would have ten people come to collect it, which means each family would receive one hundred kilograms.

This amount of tens of thousands of kilograms will have to be distributed at once.

In addition, the Ministry of Revenue wants to plant hundreds of acres of greenhouses, and the emperor said he will take a look at the rest.

The meaning of looking at it again is that these grains will have other uses in the future.
