Chapter 1479: What Reward Should I Give
The emperor looked at Yi Zilan with a faint smile.
Seeing this, the latter imdiately asked curiously, “Your Majesty, since Gu Yundong has made such a great contribution, shouldn’t we reward her?”
Speaking of this, the Emperor also had a headache.
Previously, when the white sugar formula was presented, he had thought about it. However, Qin Wenzheng said that at that ti, the emperor had just ascended the throne and the royal court had yet to stabilize. The national treasury was empty and there were a lot of things to do. The ti was not suitable.
Furthermore, the imperial court was still in chaos. If the emperor rewarded Gu Yundong, it would push her to the forefront of the storm. It would not do her any good.
Hence, the emperor rembered this credit and allowed Gu Yundong to own the sugar workshop. In a small city like Fengkai County, Qin Wenzheng could still protect her.
Later, when the Xin family’s matter in the Wanqing Prefecture was exposed, Gu Yundong only asked for so things from the Xin family’s private treasury. She picked them herself.
It was said that she chose so unique calligraphy and paintings with deep foundations.
The matter of the Nine Tigers Mountain mine had to be kept a secret. It was not appropriate to publicize it. After all, the mastermind had yet to be found. If the announcent was made, it would probably bring trouble to the Gu family.
This rit could only be rewarded in the future.
But today, Gu Yundong brought him another surprise.
The Emperor was a little worried. There were too many rits, and he did not know what reward was suitable.
“Think about it, how should I reward her?”
“Why don’t you let Shao Qingyuan be an official?”
The emperor glared at him angrily. “Look at Shao Qingyuan. Does he look like he wants to be an official?”
This… didn’t seem like it.
Previously, Shao Qingyuan had given him the thod of the cowpox vaccination thod. The emperor naturally had to reward him for such a great contribution to the country.
Judging from Shao Qingyuan’s actions at that ti, other than rewarding him with silver, he was also given an official position and beca an imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital.
However, Shao Qingyuan rejected him. He was not interested in the imperial physician at all.
However, everyone in the capital knew that Shao Qingyuan had made a great contribution, so the emperor had to reward him.
Therefore, the emperor gave him the Fish Talisman. Shao Qingyuan was actually an official. When he was outside, he had so power.
Just like when he went to pick up Uncle Gu, his Fish Talisman was recognized by the local county magistrate.
It was just that he had received an idle position.
Therefore, the emperor was worried. “The husband and wife are clearly capable people, but they don’t care about fa and fortune and don’t want to be in the royal court.”
Yi Zilan’s lips twitched.
Indifference to fa and fortune???
How was he indifferent? Shao Qingyuan’s reputation in the capital was much, much higher than his. Also, Gu Yundong’s shop was targeted at rich people. The fees were crazy, alright?
Your Majesty, wake up. The couple clearly did not want to be restricted by the rules, and they earned a lot of money and befriended powerful people. They also had a reputation in front of you and did not suffer any losses. Ahhh!
However, Yi Zilan did not dare to say that. The emperor had a good impression of this couple.
Hence, he racked his brains and said, “Your Majesty, just because Shao Qingyuan and his wife are unwilling to be in the royal court doesn’t an that their families are unwilling. They can be rewarded through their families.”
The Emperor thought for a mont. “That’s right. I heard from Minister Qin that the father and son of the Gu family are both studying and preparing for the imperial examination. Moreover, they have improved greatly in their studies. Father Gu’s results in this year’s Court Examination are very gratifying. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to participate in the village examination. When the ti cos…”
From then on, Gu Dajiang beca famous in front of the emperor.
