Chapter 683 Official Recognition

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will tell you everything I know."

Gu Tingyu said this respectfully, and then looked at Mr. Han seriously.

Mr. Han thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Ting Yu, we have studied your article before. The second plan is a little difficult for us."

"During the time of the previous emperor, we also tried to improve the coinage technology, but it caused quite a stir at the time. The common people did not recognize the new money, and it took a lot of effort to eliminate the impact of the incident."

After hearing what Han Xianggong said, Gu Tingyu knew that he was right. After all, technological reform is not something that can be achieved in a day or two.

"I understand this, but this matter requires continuous attention and time to proceed."

"Yes, Tingyu is right, so now we may focus on the first option."

"However, the first plan also has some problems. The country's output of silver and gold is actually not as much as imagined. In this case, I don't know what to do for a while."

After Han Xianggong finished speaking, the emperor and several other ministers turned to look at Gu Tingyu.

In fact, these people didn’t really regard Gu Tingyu as a life-saving straw, they just wanted to see if there were any new ideas.

Gu Tingyu also knew about this. After all, he was one of the most powerful figures in the country. To be able to sit in this position, he was definitely not incompetent.

Therefore, Gu Tingyu didn’t feel that he was that powerful, so he didn’t get carried away.

"Your Majesty, gentlemen, I have some immature ideas. Let me tell you, can you help me see if they work?"

"Well, Tingyu, go ahead, let's just discuss it and speak freely."

The emperor also asked Gu Tingyu to speak directly and not to be restrained. Several husbands also nodded and looked at Gu Tingyu.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll tell you what I think."

"The current output of gold and silver in our country cannot guarantee domestic reform. I wonder if you have ever thought about the vassal states below. I remember a book once said that Fusang is rich in silver. I think we can try to go there and take a look."

“If true, that should provide some relief to domestic silver production.”

After hearing Gu Tingyu's proposal, the emperor and several ministers looked at each other.

I have never thought about this idea. This is also the way of thinking of the ancient people. They did not attach importance to the vassal states. Basically, they just wanted to show their status as a great power.

In fact, they don't care at all and think that it is a small country not worth mentioning, so they never take it seriously.

"Your Majesty, Ting Yu's idea is really interesting. Although the subordinate vassal states are small and weak, they may still have some supplies."

"Yes, Your Majesty, and these vassal states are also considered our territory. If silver can really be mined, it is indeed a route."

"Well, that's exactly what happened,"

The emperor didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, they were just vassal states of the Song Dynasty. Isn't it normal to take something from them? There was nothing wrong with that.

"Okay, let's think along these lines and see what to do when the time comes."

"Yes, yes. Fusang does have a lot of silver mines, and smelting it directly locally can save a lot of costs."

Mr. Han just thought about it in his mind and found that this method is indeed good and can be considered.

"Okay, Tingyu, I didn't expect you to come up with a solution. Okay, okay, if this thing really succeeds, I will reward you handsomely."

"Your Majesty, this is my duty. It is natural for me to share your worries."

"Haha, look at this, look at this, it's so weird."

Seeing the emperor pointing at Gu Tingyu happily, the other men couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly became cheerful.

After everyone finished laughing, Gu Tingyu felt that there was nothing else to do and it was almost time for him to leave.

"Your Majesty, gentlemen, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Okay, then you can go back first. I know that you have been taking care of the children at home these days."

"Hey, Your Majesty, you have been quite busy before. Why don't you take this time to spend some time with the children?"

"Okay, you can go back."

Gu Tingyu stood up from his seat, respectfully bowed to the emperor and all the ministers, and slowly left the imperial study.

After seeing Gu Tingyu leave, the emperor looked at the ministers.

"So, do you think Gu Tingyu is a talent?"

"Your Majesty, he is indeed a talent. Although he has just entered the officialdom, his ideas and thoughts are indeed relatively novel and he has some brains."

"Yes, your majesty, and he is not the type who studies too hard. He is a man of great potential."

Several husbands also praised Gu Tingyu and did not suppress him as imagined.

After all, they are already so old. By the time Gu Tingyu grows up, he will be buried long ago and they don’t care about this at all.

The official nodded with satisfaction, but he didn't intend to force the issue, as he still needed some training.

However, I kept it in mind.

 …

Not to mention that the emperor and several ministers began to study the matter of mining in Fuso.

After Gu Tingyu followed his father-in-law out of the palace, he got on his own carriage.

"Come on, go home."

"Okay, Master."

When Gu Tingyu returned to Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, Gu Yankai had already returned. Knowing that Gu Tingyu had entered the palace, he asked his servants to notify him to go to the study to find him when he returned.

Gu Tingyu went straight to the study.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

"Well, did you just enter the palace?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please ask about the policy essays for the palace examination. The country is short of money now."

"Yes, I know about this matter, and it has been mentioned many times at the court meetings."

When Gu Yankai heard about this, he felt relieved, after all, it was not a big deal.

Gu Tingyu did not hide anything and told everything that happened in the imperial study today.

"Not bad, it didn't float, that's good."

"Father, I know my own worth, how can I be so arrogant?"

"Okay, I feel relieved if you do this."

Gu Yankai looked at the steady Gu Tingyu and felt very relieved. What the family inheritance needed was stability.

What's more, their family is already the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and there is not much room for further advancement.

Unless he could make some achievements in destroying a country, but this was totally impossible in the situation of the Song Dynasty. Gu Yankai no longer had any ideas and just wanted to pass on the family well.

The father and son talked in the study for a while, and then Gu Tingyu left and returned to his own yard.

Yuan Ge'er had already fallen asleep, and Xian Jie'er was taken away by the maid to take a nap.

"Husband, you're back. I'll have someone prepare lunch for you."

"Yeah, okay, I'm a little hungry."
