Supreme peasant girl to turn over

Chapter 303 Fame spreads to the ears of the emperor

The days went by like this day by day, and Gu Qingyan was also implementing their plan little by little, but it was not so easy to get too much information, so he could only search slowly.

The emperor's illness was already very serious, and he couldn't even go to court in the early morning. He could only call some humerus ministers to the sleeping hall, and there was a Prime Minister Wei among them.

The Prime Minister of Wei, Wei Dexin, is already seventy years old this year. After two generations of emperors, he is the mainstay of the court. Even the current emperor, Gu Qinming, respectfully calls him "Sir."

That's right, this Prime Minister Wei has been the teacher of two emperors, namely the current emperor Gu Qinming, and the current prince Gu Qinghui's husband.

He is upright and upright, and he is a person who truly has the world in mind. It can be said that if the Great Shu Kingdom did not have this Prime Minister Wei, it would have been slowly eaten away by neighboring countries.

On this day, Prime Minister Wei and several important officials in the court reported the latest political affairs to the emperor. The prince was locked up in Dali Temple, so only the second prince Gu Qingmu and the fourth prince Gu Qingyan accompanied him.

Because of his advanced age, Prime Minister Wei would always be given a seat in front of the emperor, but at this moment he just sat on the edge of the stool slightly, and said with a straight back: "Your Majesty, there is news from Ying Tianfu that It is said that some dexterous farmers invented an ingenious method, which is able to cultivate the rice and fish fry together, and the two things can increase the yield, and it has been widely used in Qiushui County, and the results are quite good.”

Gu Qinming raised his eyelids, showing some joy. Before he was obsessed with immortality, he was quite a good emperor who worked hard to rule. Until later, as he got older, he looked at his sons who were full of vigor and vitality, and felt his own aging more and more. .

Under such panic, he has long forgotten the ambition he made when he first ascended the throne, and he only wants to prolong his life, so that he can have one more moment of this beautiful country.

But in front of his ex-husband, Prime Minister Wei, he subconsciously subdued his eagerness, and paid more attention to what Prime Minister Wei said.

"Oh? Mr. Wei, is this serious? If it is true, it will be a great thing to benefit the country and the people if it is spread throughout the whole of Sichuan!" Gu Qinming gasped several times after just saying this sentence. His complexion looked even worse than that of Prime Minister Wei with white beard and hair.

Prime Minister Wei also nodded with a smile: "Really, the prefect of Yuwen of Yingtian Mansion has submitted a memorial, Your Majesty can take a look."

Ever since Gu Qinming fell ill, Prime Minister Wei assisted in handling all affairs in the court, so before submitting the memorials to the emperor, these memorials were all screened by Prime Minister Wei.

Regarding Prime Minister Wei's words, Gu Qinming believed it very much. He asked with great interest: "Oh? Who is this person, he has such abilities, he should be rewarded!"

Prime Minister Wei said: "It is said that this person is from Taoyuan Village, Qiushui Town, Qiushui County, Yingtian Prefecture."

Just when Gu Qingyan felt that this place was very familiar, Prime Minister Wei said a name he was more familiar with: "This person's name is Yang Fengxian, she is a little peasant girl, but she is an unusual and strange woman. There is a rouge and gouache shop called Dianzhuang Pavilion in the town and Qiushui County, and now we also have one in the capital, not just because she didn't open it."

Gu Qingyan was afraid that it would be too involved for others to check this matter, so she simply said: "I think it's her too, many of the wives in my backyard like to order the rouge and gouache from the makeup shop, I've heard them say it before. "

Among the few remaining ministers, many family members have visited Dianzhuang Pavilion, and they know a thing or two about the name and taboo of the proprietress of Dianzhuang Pavilion.

The second prince Gu Qingmu also said: "I am the same as the fourth brother. There are also many ladies in the backyard who buy rouge and gouache from her shop."

Even Gu Qingmu, who has always been quiet, opened his mouth, and now Gu Qinming became interested: "Oh? She is a strange woman when I say it. When I am in better health, I will send her into the palace to have a look and see what is going on. What kind of woman can have such a great ability. For women, rewarding anything is worse than rewarding a good marriage."

The sweat on Gu Qingyan's back came down. If the father really gave Fengxian a marriage, Pei Xiaoyao would dare to rush into the palace to question him. In order to prevent this situation, Gu Qingyan hurriedly said: "Father, son But I heard that the proprietress of that makeup shop got married a long time ago."

Gu Qinming may be old and fell in love with the messy mandarin ducks. He was a little disappointed when he heard the news of Yang Fengxian's marriage. Gu Qingmu suggested: "Father, why don't you reward her with something else?"

Thinking of her plan, Gu Qingyan took advantage of the situation and said: "Now that her business is so big, she will not be short of money in the future. Why don't my father reward her with something to show the greatness of the emperor's grace."

Although Gu Qinming didn't like his fourth son, he was quite satisfied with his proposal at the moment: "It's okay, why not make her a county lord."

The county head can be regarded as the lowest rank in the royal family, but no matter how low she is, she can be regarded as a member of the royal family, so she is so much higher than her original rank.

Since ancient times, there are four classes of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the emperor. Yang Fengxian can only be regarded as the bottom businessman now, but now with the emperor's golden words, she has crossed three classes and has become a royal child.

The identity of the county magistrate can only be regarded as barely enough in front of the princes, and a member of the royal family can easily crush her.

But the next sentence from Prime Minister Wei raised the award to another level: "Your Majesty, Yang Fengxian's ability written in this memorial is not limited to this. She invented something called bean sprouts, which can be soaked with water. Soaking bean sprouts, in winter when vegetables are rare and expensive, can also provide food for poor people to eat, as far as the veteran sees, this is a great achievement!"

Gu Qingyan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Yang Fengxian to contribute the recipe of bean sprouts.

And this result, it was Yang Fengxian, Pei Xiaoyao, and Wan Su who discussed this result and passed it on to Yuwen Xuer.

If it is to be done, it will be done generously. Fortunately, at that time, Yuwen Zhixian had not told Yuwen Zhifu about it, and Yang Fengxian chose the fastest carrier pigeon, so he rushed to Yuwen Zhifu to hand over the paper to the higher-level officials. This sum was added before.

After hearing this, Gu Qinming was really overjoyed: "Okay, okay, okay!" The emperor said three good words, and the officials on the side hurriedly wrote them down: "In the 24th year of Yuanjing, Emperor Yuanjing benefited the country because of a strange woman. The actions of the people say three good words, great kindness, great kindness!"

Gu Qinming was in a good mood, even his face turned rosy, and he ordered briskly: "Eunuch Liu, draw up the decree!"

Eunuch Liu took out a bright yellow imperial decree, and because the emperor was seriously ill and weak, the second prince Gu Qingmu wrote it for him.
