Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Chapter 198 Can I have both being an official and doing business?

In addition, the emperor also rewarded Lin Shuangshuang with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred pieces of silk, and countless gold, silver and jewelry.

This reward was extremely generous, but Lin Shuangshuang was worthy of it.

Everyone thought that Lin Shuangshuang, a peasant woman, would cry with joy and be excited to accept the order if she rose to the top in one step and won this honor.

Unexpectedly, they refused!

Yes, rejected!

Rejected the honor of being the best female official in the world!

However, Lin Shuangshuang still spoke very tactfully. She made it clear that she was willing to contribute to the court and be an official.

But if there is a condition that the emperor cannot meet, it will be difficult for her to do these things well.

The emperor was not angry, but asked curiously: "What are the conditions?"

Lin Shuangshuang said with a serious face: "Officials cannot do business. Whether it is drug research or agricultural research, a lot of manpower, material and financial resources are needed to support it."

“It’s hard for women to live without money.”

The emperor thought for a while, and what she said made sense. A clever woman can't make a meal without rice, and she can't do anything without money.

"You can rest assured that you are making a contribution to the imperial court, and I will let the imperial court allocate funds to you for research on agriculture and medicine."

Lin Shuangshuang shook her head again: "Your Majesty, the women's family is too poor, and the women want to improve their family's life."

"Money allocated by the imperial court can only be used for agricultural research and cannot be used for household expenses."

"If the emperor does not allow civilian women to engage in business, the families of civilian women will become even more difficult."

The emperor asked in confusion: "Don't you know that being an official comes with a salary?"

"People's women know it, but they still want to do business. What they want to do is not to make themselves rich, but to make the people around them rich."

When the emperor heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then thought about her words seriously.

At this time, Li Mingsi stood up again: "Your Majesty, this is the memorial submitted by Li Bingwen, the new magistrate of Qingshui County, before the minister set off."

"What is written above is the development direction of Qingshui Town in the next year."

"Send it up."

When the emperor saw what Li Bingwen wrote in the memorial, he encouraged the people to plant black vegetables in winter, and then the yamen would purchase and sell them uniformly. Finally, the money would be converted into rice and distributed to the people, supporting the people to survive the first disaster after the disaster. winter and spring.

As well as subsequent agricultural development, business encouragement and other policies...

The emperor was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, it seems that this Li Bingwen is also a talent."

"Although the yamen's approach of encouraging business and even actively helping people do business is contrary to the laws of the Yu Dynasty, it really solved the current crisis of the people."

While the emperor was praising, Li Xiang spoke again: "Your Majesty, according to Wei Chen's understanding, this memorial was compiled by Li Bingwen based on the suggestion of Divine Doctor Lin."

Therefore, he didn't need to say the rest, the emperor could understand it.

It turns out that Lin Shuangshuang was not just talking about leading the whole village and even the town to become rich, but was already doing it.

This made the emperor a little impressed. After all, she was just a woman, but she could do something that a man couldn't do. This was amazing.

Maybe this woman can really use business to achieve different things.

It is also his lifelong pursuit that the people live and work in peace and contentment, but the prerequisite for living and working in peace and contentment is enough money.

With this thought in his mind, the emperor said, "I allow you to engage in business, and at the same time, you will still hold the position of the Seventh-Rank Agriculture Department."

"If you have any requests, I will definitely support them. Don't let me down."

After hearing the emperor's words, Lin Shuangshuang kowtowed with confidence and thanked him.

Seeing that his wife was happy, Gu Hanzhou also kowtowed to thank her, but this time he was more sincere.

She can make money in business and be an official. Others are choosing one of the two, but she can have both. What a blessing.

It seems that the emperor really has high hopes for her!

Looking at Su Changgong's face, he could no longer maintain the superficial harmony.

He didn't expect that before he could stop the Gu family from turning over, this little lady would gain a firm footing first.

It seems that we can no longer underestimate her!

At this time, Su Changgong suddenly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, I have a request for something."

"Su Aiqing just says it doesn't matter."

"I heard that Divine Doctor Lin is very knowledgeable in pharmaceuticals and detoxification. He can even prevent plagues in the city. I wonder if I can ask Divine Doctor Lin to detoxify children?"

"Please also ask Divine Doctor Lin for permission." Su Changgong said, actually making a bow with both hands and bowing 90 degrees to Lin Shuangshuang.

Many prime ministers have done this. If she didn't agree, it would be too disrespectful to the other party.

The emperor also knew that Su Mubai was suffering from a strange illness and was unconscious. All the doctors in the imperial hospital were helpless. No wonder Su Xiang was so anxious.

But the emperor did not force Lin Shuangshuang: "It depends on what Lin Aiqing wants."

After all, I heard from Li Xiang that the two sides had some quarrels. Maybe it was Su Mubai who caused Gu Hanzhou to become a fool. Even if Lin Shuangshuang didn't help, it would be reasonable.

Lin Shuangshuang stood up and said, "I will help Mr. Su with a diagnosis, but I can't guarantee whether I can detoxify him."

Su Changgong breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Mr. Lin."

The emperor had already called her Lin Aiqing. Lin Shuangshuang's identity had been made clear. How could he not be aware of this?

"Mr. Lin's medical skills are unparalleled. He can even develop medicine to prevent plague. He will definitely be able to detoxify children."

Su Changgong is very good at hating others. After all, can ordinary poisoning be compared with the plague?

The implication is that Lin Shuangshuang can definitely detoxify Su Mubai. If he cannot detoxify, it is intentional.

Lin Shuangshuang was expressionless and choked back: "That's not necessarily true. I can't judge anything until I make a diagnosis."

"Xiang Su, there is no need to put a high hat on me, otherwise I would not dare to diagnose Mr. Su."

"If I can't cure the poison, I will be guilty of a heinous crime."

As soon as Lin Shuangshuang said these words, many people broke out in a cold sweat for her.

This woman is so courageous. The other party is Su Xiang. She is too brave. She may not have seen Su Xiang's methods.

Even Li Xiang didn't agree with Lin Shuangshuang's confrontation with Su Xiang, for fear that the narrow-minded old man Su Changgong would do something behind his back.

Su Changgong did not let the tension continue, but smiled: "Master Lin said that everything can only be decided after the diagnosis."

The emperor also acted as peacemaker at the right time and changed the subject.

"Li Aiqing, you said you had someone teach you these dishes to the imperial kitchen. I wonder if the cook who taught you the dishes is still in the house?"

"I am very satisfied with the cooking of these dishes."

The implication is that he wants to recruit people into the palace to serve as royal chefs.

Li Mingsi naturally heard what the emperor meant, and could only smile and say: "I'm afraid the emperor will be disappointed."

"The chef is very busy right now. I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in the palace as the royal cook."

"Very busy?"

Li Mingsi smiled: "This person is far away in the world and right in front of you."

Everyone followed her gaze and landed on Lin Shuangshuang.

Chen Yurou and Wen Yunyun almost cried in admiration. Is there anything else she doesn't know?
