"Yes, Your Majesty. If it can be promoted, Ganzhe will surely become another financial pillar of our Great Han."

"Your Majesty, promoting Gan Zhe is of great benefit to the country and its people, and it is of utmost urgency."

"......"

All the civil and military officials rushed forward to plead for the emperor to immediately issue an order to promote the program.

"My lords, please calm down."

Seeing the group of ministers whose eyes were already red with anxiety, Liu Hong felt extremely pleased, but he still maintained a calm and composed demeanor, soothing the emotions of the officials.

Then Liu Hong looked at Yang Ci and said, "Grand Herald, you should explain this Gan Zhe to the other officials."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yang Ci cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Gentlemen, although this Gan Zhe is good, it has extremely high requirements for its growing environment, according to reports from my subordinates."

The sweetest fruit of the Ganzhe tree only thrives in areas with abundant rainfall and long hours of sunshine, especially in southern Yizhou, southern Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou, particularly in Rinan Commandery.

"this......."

Upon hearing this, the officials frowned. The places Yang Ci mentioned were basically barren lands.

Although the area was under the control of the Han Dynasty, it was never taken seriously, and it was also far away and inconvenient to travel there.

Therefore, the imperial court had virtually no control over that area, making it virtually impossible to promote Ganzhe there.

Because most of the people living there were barbarians, and like those on the northern grasslands, some of them outwardly submitted to the Han, but their attacks on the Han never ceased.

With such unstable factors present, how can one settle down to grow sugarcane?

Having mountains of gold but being unable to use it, the officials' faces grew grim.
