The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

With Li Liuyun and Nangong Li bringing back several high-yield grains, especially those with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, the imperial court was once again in an uproar.

Nangong Huan was also extremely excited. The next day, he led the Empress, ministers, and several high-ranking officials to Hongmei Manor in a grand procession. He wanted to personally verify the harvesting of these high-yield crops.

So Li Liuyun, Nangong Li, and Mu Yuyan watched as Nangong Huan and several high-ranking officials worked enthusiastically, husking corn, digging potatoes, and shoveling sweet potatoes.

Mu Yuyan looked eager to try, and Li Liuyun quickly said, "Mother, let me take you over there to pick some corn, and then we'll make corn pancakes. As for sweet potatoes and potatoes, you have to squat on the ground to dig them, which is really inconvenient for you now that you're pregnant. Let Father bring you here to dig sweet potatoes next year!"

Upon hearing that she could pick corn and eat delicious food, Mu Yuyan no longer cared whether she could dig sweet potatoes or potatoes.

As they were digging, several loud cries suddenly came from the field.

"If these high-yield crops had been discovered a few years earlier, my mother and brother wouldn't have starved to death, sob sob..."

The two Grand Ministers of Agriculture were also moved to tears, holding sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn: "Your Majesty, Heaven blesses our Northern Li! Auspicious omens have descended from the heavens! From now on, no one in Northern Li will ever starve to death again! Waaah..."

In an instant, everyone knelt down on the ground: "Heaven blesses our Beili! Auspicious omens have descended from the heavens!"

In this situation, Li Liuyun and Nangong Li, as modern people, were also deeply moved. Famine is a deadly natural disaster in any era.

In modern times, we should thank Grandpa Yuan, whose appearance solved the problems of hunger and food.

No wonder these people held these high-yield crops, tears streaming down their faces. In their eyes, this was life-saving food; it's understandable that they viewed it as an auspicious omen!

Nangong Huan's eyes were also red-rimmed. Since his ascension to the throne, although he had resolved some of the internal and external troubles, famines and natural disasters still plagued the land every year, leaving countless refugees! Now, with these high-yield grains, once planted next year, no one would starve to death after the harvest!

All of this was thanks to Yun'er, and thinking of this, Nangong Huan couldn't help but ponder. What reward should he give Li Liuyun?

Nangong Huan announced in a loud voice: "Everyone in Hongmei Manor will be rewarded. The Mu family has made a contribution by taking care of the high-yield crops, and will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold!"

Everyone had been listening intently, eager to see how His Majesty would reward the Princess of Houguo!

As a result, Nangong Huan stopped talking after he finished speaking, which angered the two Grand Ministers of Agriculture and many other officials in the court.

The two Grand Ministers of Agriculture spoke up one after another: "Your Majesty has made great contributions to the cultivation of crops, so wouldn't the person who discovered the crops also be considered to have made a great contribution? Why doesn't Your Majesty reward the Princess Protector of the Nation?"

"That's right! Your Majesty, when it comes to rewarding merit, the princess should be rewarded first! After all, it was the princess who discovered this high-yield crop, so she should be generously rewarded!"

"that is!"

"Your Majesty, please reward those who have rendered meritorious service!"

"Your Majesty, please reward the princess handsomely!"

Upon hearing the requests from the crowd, Nangong Huan raised his hand to his forehead and said, "How could I not know that I should reward the Princess Protector of the Nation? It's just that she is already the Crown Princess and also the Princess Protector of the Nation of the highest rank!"

"I'm just momentarily confused; I haven't decided on a suitable reward yet! I'm not a foolish ruler! How could I possibly leave such a tremendous achievement unrewarded? Let me think about it carefully!"

Li Liuyun and Nangong Li naturally heard the requests from the crowd.

Li Liuyun winked at Nangong Li: "Don't even mention Father Emperor's predicament, I feel predicament myself, because I have countless treasures in my space! How about I ask Father Emperor for some other reward?"

Nangong Li smiled and nodded: "Just tell me what you want, and I'm sure Father will grant it!"

Li Liuyun thought for a moment and came to Nangong Huan: "Father, as the Crown Princess, this is what I should do. If you insist on rewarding me, then please write a few words for me."

"My son's restaurant, girls' academy, and this Red Plum Manor are about to be converted into a resort! I hope Father Emperor will bestow a few pieces of calligraphy as plaques!"

Everyone sighed in admiration at Princess Huguo, saying that she was so sensible; she had only asked His Majesty for a few pieces of calligraphy because she couldn't bear to see His Majesty spend money.

Nangong Huan was quite surprised to hear Li Liuyun's words, but after a moment's thought, he understood. The girl wanted to save him money on one hand, and on the other hand, she was planning to open a restaurant or a hot spring resort in the future. His name would serve as a signboard, preventing any fools from causing trouble!

Nangong Huan smiled and nodded: "I approve of this matter, but I feel that this reward is a bit too light. You are my daughter-in-law, and writing this for you is not much of a reward!"

Alright then, besides the conditions you just mentioned, I will bestow upon you a golden whip just like your grandmother's. Seeing this whip will be as if I were personally present, allowing you to strike down tyrannical rulers and treacherous officials, with the power to execute first and report later! Is this satisfactory, Yun'er?"

Upon hearing this, Li Liuyun immediately knelt down to express his gratitude: "Your subject thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness!"

Li Liuyun felt secretly pleased; she knelt down willingly!

Nangong Li's lips twitched. If he remembered correctly, this should be the first time Seventeen had knelt down to express his gratitude. There was no way around it; this reward was unprecedented and would likely never be repeated!

If he ascends the throne in the future, and happens to displease the Seventeenth Prince, he will only be whipped.

Otherwise, the next moment, Li Liuyun's gaze towards Nangong Li was full of provocation, as if to say, "If you make me angry in the future, I'll beat you up."

The ministers looked at Nangong Li with a hint of sympathy in their eyes!

Mu Yuyan also noticed the ministers' glances and, fearing the world wouldn't be peaceful enough, spoke up: "Yun'er, with this golden whip, no one will dare to bully you anymore. If that brat bullies you in the future, give him a good beating and don't worry about saving face for your mother!"

Nangong Li looked at Mu Yuyan with a wronged expression: "Mother, who is your real child?"

Mu Yuyan raised her chin, looked at Nangong Li with disdain, and put her arm around Li Liuyun's arm: "Whether the son is biological or not is not important! As long as the daughter-in-law is biological, that's enough!"

Upon hearing the Empress's words, the ministers could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

In an instant, a joyful sound of harvest echoed across the fields.

At this moment, they had no concept of ruler and subject; they only had the joy of a bountiful harvest and the hope for the future!

That very evening, Nangong Huan issued an edict to transport all the potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes back to the palace, where two Grand Ministers of Agriculture were specifically assigned to oversee and preserve them.

Meanwhile, the people who had previously been in charge of taking care of these three crops, along with the Mu family father and sons, were also invited to the palace to train the officials in charge of agriculture and commerce.

We'll just wait until next year to distribute all these seeds, and then send them all over the country to teach breeding techniques!
