Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 143 Rewards
In the imperial study room, the emperor was sitting behind the desk, still holding the memorial in his hand. He raised his eyes and glanced at Ouyang Yiyun standing below, with a smile on his face.

"Hey, our Xiaoyun is here to ask for a reward for your future wife-in-law?" The emperor said teasingly, "Come on, come on, tell me, what reward do you want to help your future wife-in-law ask for? "

The emperor suddenly became more interested and put down the memorial in his hand. He just leaned on the backrest and looked at Ouyang Yiyun with a smile on his face.

No matter how thick-skinned Ouyang Yiyun was, he instantly turned red when he was teased by his elders like this.

But thinking about Li Xiao and their future, Ouyang Yiyun felt that he could be thicker-skinned and try his best to get more rewards from that girl.But when she spoke, she didn't say half a word about what she wanted.

"Uncle Huang, of course it is up to Uncle Huang to decide what to reward and how much to reward. My nephew is here this time just to talk to you about Xiao Xiao's contribution to our Dali calendar over the years."

Then, without blushing or out of breath, Ouyang Yiyun began to list in detail what Li Xiao had done over the years.

What about yam and potato seeds? Not only did they increase the grain production in Dali, allowing more people to eat, but they also enriched the people's dining tables. The sweet potato vermicelli, yam vermicelli and potato vermicelli became the mainstay of military rations. to the military camp.

Then we talked about Kurokawa (pepper), which is a veritable "golden pimple". It is both a rare medicinal material and a precious spice. Even in the palace, there were not many Kurokawa in stock.

Why is Kurokawa so rare?That's because in Dali, Kurokawa was basically picked from the mountains. Before Li Xiao, no one had tried to plant it, or it should be said that no one had succeeded in planting it.

But his family was small, but they successfully planted it, and after planting in a large area, at least half of the harvested Kurokawa was distributed and sent to the palace.

Although it was a business that collected money after all, if his family didn't grow it, then even if the palace wanted to buy a large amount of Kurokawa, it wouldn't be too easy, right?
After all, "it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice", right?

After talking about Kurokawa, Ouyang Yiyun continued to mention oranges, unicorn fruits, passion fruit jam and cane sugar that were newly released in the past two years, and even the fruit wine that the emperor drank several times. All were counted in detail.

emperor:……

Good guy, did that little girl really do so many things?

Especially those crops and vermicelli, it really solved the military ration problem that he had been worried about.

By the way, Kurokawa is indeed a rare good thing. Well, that girl is indeed good.

He was still thinking that Ouyang Yiyun's mouth was still uttering words.

"Uncle Huang, you see, Xiaoxiao tried his best to make sucrose from sugarcane, which not only made sugarcane, a useless thing, valuable, but also enabled more and more people to earn money and improve their lives by growing sugarcane. It also made sugar It has become something that ordinary people can eat. In the past two years, the price of sugar in Dali has slowly come down!" "Well, those oranges, unicorn fruits, passion fruits and bananas, nephew. I won’t mention it much today, they are just some fruits. Although they enrich the fruit baskets of the people of Dali, in the end they only satisfy the people’s appetite.”

Emperor: Don’t mention it?I almost believed you.

"Putting all this aside, the little 'Xiao Xiao Xiang Tian' and the vermicelli workshop that my nephew works with her can be regarded as increasing tax revenue for the national treasury, right?" After saying that, he looked at the emperor seriously and waited. The emperor nodded.

In the past few years, the emperor has really liked this nephew. He only likes to make money and doesn't care much about other things. The point is, no, he manages so many Zhuangzi for him without any complaints!
Therefore, after listening to Ouyang Yiyun's words, the emperor still nodded with dignity.

Seeing this, Ouyang Yiyun felt a little relieved. He cleared his throat and continued: "My nephew privately believes that things like yam, potato seeds, and sucrose are things that have never been seen in Dali before, or It is said that it is something that no one in the world knows its use.”

"Treasures covered in dust are sometimes worse than waste, so thanks to Xiao Xiao's discovery of them, they have the opportunity to be known to the world and will not become useless treasures.

And as a common people, a small family can just cover up these things in a "short-sighted" manner, and then quietly earn some small money, and it is not difficult to support the family or live a leisurely and comfortable life. Son.

But she didn't just care about her family, she cared about the people.

After she successfully planted these things on a large scale in their home, she informed her nephew. She even gave him a lot of seeds and told him how to plant them.The nephew guessed that she might want to use his hands to bring these new crops to more places! "

"Uncle Huang may not know yet, but now more and more villages in the southern border are planting potatoes, yam, sugar cane and unicorn fruit. It can be said that the lives of ordinary people in the southern border are slowly getting better."

“The imperial court has always hoped that the people would be well-fed, clothed, and live a happy life. Because of this, the common people would have fewer disputes and conflicts and live and work in peace and contentment. People who live a stable life will inevitably feel more grateful for and support the imperial court.

Therefore, my nephew believes that his small actions will have a positive impact that cannot be ignored not only on the people in the southern border, but also on the court and the entire Dali calendar! "

After an impassioned speech, Ouyang Yiyun's mouth felt dry.Just as he was about to ask Uncle Huang for a cup of tea, he looked up and saw his Uncle Huang looking at him with a playful look on his face.After coughing twice to ease the embarrassment, Ouyang Yiyun asked tentatively: "I wonder what Uncle Huang thinks of what my nephew just said?"

how?I almost didn’t say that your future daughter-in-law will make great contributions to the country, and her contributions will last for generations to come!
However, the girl did have merit, but these things are indeed not easy to use as reasons for a large reward. No one in the court listened to Ouyang Yiyun's analysis of what the girl had to say. For the influence on the Dali calendar.

In fact, a long time ago, the emperor half-jokingly mentioned that he would make Li Xiao the head of the village, but the rank of the head of the village was not high. This guy said so much breathlessly today, what he wanted was just a mere A country owner?Or a general gold and silver reward?

If there is no suitable reason for the large reward, there will be opposition in the court.The boy would definitely not be happy to be rewarded with some gold, silver, cloth or something.If he refuses to reward her, he, as the emperor, will feel a little embarrassed. After all, this little girl has really solved his long-standing problem. It seems that he has to figure out the reason for it.
