Among Guo Hao's family, only Qiunan and Li Qingnan are more familiar with each other. Everyone else has only heard of it, but has never seen it.

After Guo Hao ascended the throne, he was worried about the people's food. Relying on traditional grains cannot solve the problem. The only way is to find new crops.

Let me mention this again. When Chameng Kingdom first worshipped, Guo Hao asked the envoy for 10,000 hu of rice seeds. After the envoy returned, he reported to the king that the king was in a dilemma and asked Guo Hao to ask for some.

After Guo Hao learned about it, he did not go too far and exchanged some money and goods. Chamengguo was very happy and agreed happily.

With Chameng rice, Guo Hao directly arranged to be planted in Huaibei for experiments, and later developed the capital Shu area. Now the capital of Jiangnan is included in the territory, so he will popularize Chameng rice next.

There is Chameng rice in the south, but the land in the north is still very deserted. In fact, natural disasters occur in places every year. In this era when relying on the weather, natural disasters mean destruction. In addition, many years of wars, Guo Hao is really anxious.

"That's great. You did not disappoint me. I decided to grant you the title of Marquis of Anmin and the Minister of Revenue. If you don't want to be an official, I will help your brother-in-law!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo Hao forgot to hide his identity when he was excited. Many people saluted him when they learned that the emperor had arrived.

Guo Hao stood on the boat, looked at the people below, and said excitedly: "People, do you know what this is? This is all food, which can feed countless people's food!

You may not know that this inconspicuous earth lump can produce thirty stones per mu! This one that is similar to him can have fifty stones! And this corn has the least, but it also has twenty stones!"

Guo Hao talked about it, and the people below all looked disbelief. Although Guo Hao was the emperor, Jiangnan was a place with a strong grain production. Two or three stones per acre of rice was considered a high yield.

Guo Hao didn't care about other people's eyes. The final result would prove everything. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn were all high-yield crops. With these three things, the food problem in the Song Dynasty was solved.

As soon as Guo Hao showed up, the prefect of Jiangning rushed over immediately. Guo Hao had no intention of paying attention to him and directly ordered the cabinet to start promoting the new crops and let Li Qingnan be fully responsible for the matter.

When he returned to the palace, in addition to the three crops, Li Qingnan also brought back a lot of vegetables. Guo Hao took some of them back, and the others were kept as seeds. The peppers in them made Guo Hao swallow.

"With so many ingredients, I will cook next time myself today. Let's have a hot pot meal. I promise this is the best hot pot you have ever eaten in your life!"

After saying that, Guo Hao began to prepare. Li Fu was a little embarrassed and wanted to help, but was stopped by Qiu Nan.

"Sister Fu'er, don't you see that your husband is really happy? When he was at home, he would cook by himself when he was happy, but he never again."

Li Fu nodded with emotion after hearing this. It was indeed as Qiunan said that after Guo Hao became the emperor, his relationship with them became much farther.

Guo Hao was busy happily. When he looked back, he found that everyone else was looking at him, and no one wanted to help.

"What are you doing? You're just here to help. It takes a lot of ingredients to eat hot pot. Do you have to let me clean up all of them alone!"

Guo Hao was not angry, and he felt like he hadn't had it for a long time. After hearing this, the three girls immediately stepped forward to help. The five children were not idle and participated.

Seeing the family busy in the room, Li Hui looked up at the sky, and soon everything was ready.

Guo Hao poured a glass of wine and took a sip, then picked up a piece of mutton, rinsed it in the pot, glued it with homemade seasonings, put it in his mouth and turned red suddenly.

"Husband..."

Qiunan said a little worriedly, and after a long time Guo Hao said, "It's great! I haven't felt this for a long time! The peppers in Shu cannot replace peppers at all!

You can try it all, you can eat it a little less first. You may not accept this taste at first, but you will not forget it after eating it!"

When the others heard this, they turned on their chopsticks. From Guo Hao's expression, it can be seen that the pepper was definitely very exciting, so they took a bite carefully, but their expressions seemed to be on fire.

"Ah, what does this taste like..."

"Hahaha, this is chili pepper, this tastes spicy. I told you to eat less, you don't believe it, hahaha..."

Qiunan does not believe in evil, so he eats a little too much. What is the expression of the first time you eat spicy food? Qiunan is the same at this time.

Guo Hao was really happy. As long as the food problem was solved, the national strength of the Song Dynasty would rise sharply, and the firearms on the Ministry of Works also made progress, and everything would develop in a positive direction.

It was difficult to accept at first, but gradually I realized the charm of spicy food. Children should not eat too much, but all three girls enjoyed it.

The family had a hot pot and traveled through the Qinhuai River. At this time, the people in Jiangnan had spread, and the emperor was in Jiangning at this time.

Zhou Mansion, Zhou Wei’s boudoir.

"Miss, have you heard that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is in Jiangning now. What did you think he is here for Jiangning?"

"Emperor Song is in Jiangning? He had just unified Jiangnan. At this time, he might be to appease the people's hearts. After all, Jiangnan's taxes are too heavy and the people are suffering too much."

Zhou Wei said that the Southern Tang Dynasty had heavy taxes, but the fundamental reason was that it paid tribute to the Song Dynasty. Although the Southern Tang Dynasty had developed business, it could not withstand the exploitation of the two imperial courts.

Moreover, since the Southern Tang Dynasty lost the Huaibei region, eating salt has become a problem in the local area. Although the Salt Gang was banned by Shu Kingdom, it is still a trend of recovery at this time, but this time it was very secretive and even Guo Hao did not discover it.

"Yes, Emperor Song recovered Jiangnan, and the first thing he did was to reduce taxes. Everyone recognized him because of this. Moreover, he chose to choose many officials locally, and many poor families had the opportunity!"

The series of arrangements made by Guo Hao have indeed won the hearts of many people, especially the emphasis on poor disciples, which has made him receive unanimous praise among literati.

As long as people want, there is no need to worry about unstable rule. Moreover, Guo Hao attaches importance to business, so he made Chen Lin prepare early.

"Now that Jiangnan is unified, people can use their hearts. Wherever the salt I have transported you, we must quickly calm the salt price so that the people can eat salt!"

"When I received your majesty's order, I immediately prepared 10,000 stones of salt, and now I am docked at the dock and can enter the market at any time."

"Okay, this time the banner of the royal merchant can be revealed. In the future, the business of the southern royal family will be left to your Chen family to manage, and the north will be handed over to Shi Yiran. You two must cooperate well to communicate with each other and enrich the national treasury for the Song Dynasty. I will not treat you badly!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to share your worries!"

After making arrangements for Chen Lin, Guo Hao's trip to Jiangnan was a complete one. With his future vision, he knew that governing a country cannot be just about the army, politics, economy, and culture.

So during this period in Jiangnan, he seemed to be wandering around on the surface, but in fact he had been making secret arrangements. In addition to appointing and dismissing officials and scheduling troops, he also controlled the economy of Jiangnan.

This is something that the emperor had never done before. He set a precedent in history. His best attitude towards finance in his previous life, and now he has a place to use it.

"By the way, you can also have some snacks on money shop affairs. Visit the experts among the people. If so, let him come to see me."

Money houses are the predecessor of banks and the most important link in the financial system. If Guo Hao wants to operate capital, he must set up money houses. However, money houses appeared in the Qing Dynasty, and they were hundreds of years ahead of schedule. People nowadays have no idea.

"Your Majesty, the money you mentioned is understandable, but according to your idea, letting the people deposit all their money into the money shop will probably not be realized, right?"

"How can it not be realized? If the court's reputation is sufficient, the people will not doubt it. Besides, saving money and paying interest, it is convenient to go out to do things. How can such a good thing not be realized!"

Although Chen Lin has a business acumen, he still has too little knowledge. It might be difficult to do this with one's own strength, but Guo Hao is promoting a money house with the power of one country.

"It takes time for people to accept anything new, as long as there is the first person to try, it will be popularized soon, but before that, you need to find a suitable person to plan and manage it."
