Chapter 1027 Humanity and Sophistication
Chapter 1027 Humanity and Sophistication
"Don't worry, some things were already dealt with last night. It will be handled within three days." Xiao Er made a reassuring gesture to Xiao Yi, everything was under control.
Looking at some workers still working slowly in the workshop.
Just keep normal and have something to do.
-
In the palace.
The emperor looked at the woman kneeling on the ground. The plague broke out on the southern border. If it weren't for the little girl in front of him, the plague would have been controlled and cured.
There will be great chaos over there soon, and Da Qi may even lose a piece of territory.
"Doctor Gu, what reward do you want? This time you have done a great service to my country. Just tell me what reward you want." A majestic and serious voice came from the front.
Gu Yao got goosebumps when she heard the voice.
The emperor is the emperor.
If you really want to listen to him, just mention it casually, I guess his head won't stay on it for long.
"Your Majesty, I don't need any reward. This is what I should do. The people have a prescription to treat the plague. If I don't use it to treat the people, it would be disrespectful to my master. At that time, my master said that if I didn't use this prescription to help the people, I would not be able to see him in the underworld after I died. He would beat me to death in the underworld."
Gu Yao kept calling her "a common woman".
The word "common woman" made the emperor depressed.
"I am the emperor and my words are law. Since you can't say what reward you will get, then how about I reward you with the title of county lord? What you have done will be recorded in history. No matter when in the future this prescription can save the people from disaster, giving you the title of county lord is what you deserve." The emperor's words were still so serious.
Gu Yao listened to it and was delighted.
She was a county lady, which meant she had made the leap of class.
With this identity, when he goes out, everyone will give him some respect.
"I thank the Lord for His grace." Gu Yao kowtowed smoothly.
"Don't call me worthy of the title all the time. From now on you will be my subject, so just call me minister from now on." Wan rubbed his brows.
Little Li saw that the emperor was somewhat unhappy and helpless, and he really liked the newly appointed county lord. Looking at the weird atmosphere between the two, he didn't dare to say a word.
Gu Yao had gained great benefits in the imperial palace. Although she was a county lord without a title or fiefdom, she was still a county lord, and it was a face-saving thing to say this to others.
He has completed the class leap.
The emperor did not keep him long and gave him a title and 100 taels of gold.
So he sent Gu Yao away.
This morning, I was troubled by the words "Gu Yaominfu".
As the king of a country, does he really have to take advantage of other people's remaining women?
Even if I thought about it in my heart, I didn't want to give people a chance to talk about me.
Gu Yao left the palace and saw Xiao Zhen standing guard in front of the carriage.
After the young eunuch sent Gu Yao to the carriage.
Gu Yao casually took out a ten-liang gold ingot from the box of gold ingots and stuffed it into the young eunuch's hand.
"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law." Gu Yao had a decent and faint smile on her face.
When the young eunuch saw such a big gold ingot, he thought he had never received such heavy gold before.
"Hehe, thank you, County Lady Gu, I wish you good luck." The young eunuch was delighted.
"Not yet. The emperor's decree hasn't come down yet." Gu Yao was a little embarrassed.
The moment the box was opened, the glittering gold almost blinded one's eyes.
"Hurry, hurry up." Gu Yao was excited.
He thought that at most he would be rewarded with some silver or an imperial plaque, but he didn't expect the emperor to give him 100 taels of gold, which was equivalent to 1000 taels of silver.
Xiao Zhen took the box containing the gold and put it into the carriage.
"Yes, miss. Please sit down." Xiao Zhan said and rode his horse back home.
Xiao Zhen heard his father-in-law call their young lady "County Princess", which meant that their young lady had been promoted.
She was just called the County Princess, so it seemed that she was not a County Princess with a title, but she was also considered to have entered the ranks of nobles.
Their young lady really gave him too many surprises.
Only after arriving home did Gu Yao breathe a sigh of relief.
"Miss, are you really the county lord now?" Tiantian stood aside, extremely excited.
From now on, he will be a slave in the county lord's house, and his rank will be higher than other servants.
"That's what the emperor said, but he hasn't issued an imperial decree, so it doesn't count for now." Gu Yao's mouth corners slightly raised.
As long as the emperor says it, there will basically be no problem.
His title of county lord is well-earned and he earned it through his own abilities.
"Since the emperor has said so, then our young lady must have become a county princess. The emperor's words are as good as gold, how could he go back on his word?" Tiantian smiled with her eyes curved.
Xiao Zhen, who was driving the carriage outside, heard the voice inside. He said in a voice that could be heard by the people inside, "Since the person above has said that you are the county lady, then you must be the county lady. In the future, Miss will rise higher and higher. We are all the county lady's subordinates, so you don't have to worry about being bullied when you go out in the future."
"You two are teasing me, right? Don't say these things outside now. Let's talk about it when we get home." Gu Yao was still cautious, worried about being heard by others.
After arriving home, Xiao Zhanzhen asked Gu Yao: "Does the workshop still need to continue?"
"Of course, continue and proceed as planned. That place was originally rented with the help of Tan Xiaomei. If he wants to cause trouble in there, it would be easy. We cannot lose the reputation of our workshop." Gu Yao said seriously.
"We have signed so many contracts before. Is it really okay for us to just withdraw?" Tiantian was worried that the young lady would be attacked by other business partners.
"You don't have to worry about this. Now that I'm the county lord, at least I have this title when I go out, and those merchants won't offend me easily. This plan will not go wrong. The workshop itself is rented, and it doesn't cost too much. As long as we still have our people in our hands, everything will have a chance." Gu Yao said with a smile.
He felt there were many opportunities to make money.
It is really too troublesome to earn business from domestic people and have to deal with social etiquette everywhere.
It’s better to make money from foreigners.
As long as they have food in their hands, they can sell it anywhere else. It is very easy to sell it.
And the price is much higher than that sold in the country.
At the border of southern Xinjiang, a simple bowl of rice cake costs only 50 copper coins. Many people from small barbarian countries come here to do business and trade.
He has the skills and opened a workshop on the border. Even if he has to pay half of his profits in taxes, it is still a huge profit.
"Miss, you are very thoughtful, but the domestic market is so big that I don't think you should give up." Xiao Zhen said seriously.
The domestic market is the largest.
