Chapter 557: The Emperor's Recommendation, the Imperial Merchant

If this crop can be promoted on a large scale, people's lives will undoubtedly be much better.

I am even more looking forward to it.

Not long after, Gu Yan saw from afar the carriage carrying his brother Gu Lin approaching this side.

After the carriage stopped, Gu Yan hurried forward. After the two brothers exchanged a few words, Gu Yan introduced Yan Yousheng to Gu Lin, "Sir Yan, this is my brother Gu Lin. Brother, this is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Sir Yan."

After the two sides exchanged greetings, they got on the carriage and headed towards the palace together.

Yan Yousheng, who was traveling with him, became even more friendly and enthusiastic towards Gu Lin after hearing what Gu Yan said.

This really made Gu Lin feel surprised and alert. He thought to himself: How could this senior official in the court be so polite to a mere commoner like me?

He was full of doubts, as if he was lost in a cloud of fog, and could not figure it out.

It was not until Gu Yan quietly approached and explained the reason to him in a low voice that Gu Lin's heart slowly settled down and he relaxed.

It turned out to be the case.

The Emperor of Da Qi carefully read the books and detailed production records presented by Gu Yan, and then looked at the potatoes and sweet potatoes that Gu Lin brought into the palace. He couldn't help but smile and was very pleased.

He stroked his beard gently and praised repeatedly: "Very good! Very good! The Gu family's actions have truly made great contributions to our Great Qi. It is truly a contribution that will benefit the present and future generations!"

After saying this, the emperor turned to look at the eunuch Xiao Muzi who was serving beside him, and said in a loud voice: "Xiao Muzi, quickly convey my order.

Today there is a family called Gu who cares about the people and devotes their whole heart to benefiting them.

He was specially granted the title of imperial merchant and ordered to assist the Ministry of Revenue in fully developing the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

In addition, Fuguogong Mo Yan has made great contributions in recommending this time, and he is specially awarded 10,000 taels of gold, a box of rare jewels, and an imperial farm!"

Hearing this, Gu Lin was simply in disbelief. He never expected that the emperor would give such a generous and significant reward.

Royal merchant, I dare not even think about it.

Just as he was astonished, Gu Yan beside him gently touched his elbow and whispered to him to thank him quickly.

Gu Lin woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly knelt down with Gu Yan and kowtowed, shouting in unison: "Thank you, Lord! Long live our emperor!"

At this moment, Gu Yan's face was as calm as water, without any ripples, and he seemed exceptionally calm and steady.

Seeing this, Yan Yousheng, who was standing nearby, muttered to himself: Could it be that the Duke already knew about this?

In fact, even Gu Yan himself knew nothing about this matter beforehand.

However, the reason why he resolutely used the potato and sweet potato planting issue to push the Gu family to the forefront was actually intentional, aimed at creating momentum for the Gu family.

After all, it was Qingqing who first proposed the idea of ​​planting potatoes and sweet potatoes, and this honor is well deserved for the Gu family.

Of course, during this process, Gu Yan also had a little selfishness...

At this moment, the situation is already quite good. After having the title of royal merchant, my brother will no longer be subject to many constraints and restrictions in many business fields.

You know, there are certain businesses that only the government can get involved in. If a private individual attempts to get involved, he will inevitably face numerous obstacles.

Moreover, the more prominent the Gu family's reputation in the capital, the smoother the marriage between him and Qingqing will progress in the future.
