Marquis Ning Yuan's words made the courtiers hold back the words praising Gu Xi back into their stomachs.

"After all, Brother Gu has been studying hard, composing poems and writing articles, I heard that my father has never let Brother Gu Shi do farm work and serve crops, among the four brothers of the entire Gu family, only Brother Gu Shi has studied since childhood, and the rest dropped out of school early or went home to farm, or went to the town as an apprentice to earn silver."

Ning Yuanhou looked heartbroken, "The old father is a few years older than the British father, but he has been working hard to support Brother Gu Shi, and now he has grown potatoes, but he ......"

"Your Majesty, my father will be able to enter Beijing in a few days, and with his guidance, planting potatoes will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

"Brother Gu Shige is already a British prince, he gave Dayan a long face in poetry, he has already achieved fame, he is admired by scholars, and he has the credit for planting potatoes, how can you bear to ignore his father? After all, he worked hard to raise you, and his expectations for you are so high that even my own son can't compare to him. ”

Ning Yuanhou was a little sentimental, "The ploughing is tired, and the farmer has to sacrifice two generations to raise a scholar." Now that my father has cultivated potatoes and benefited the people, Brother Gu Shige has dedicated this to His Majesty, which is the duty of a minister, but don't forget the hard work of my father. ”

A few of the courtiers were from peasant families, and they knew too well the hardships of their father and brother.

Their eyes were red and their voices choked.

And many courtiers looked at Gu Xi, it turned out that Gu Xi had sucked the blood of the Gu family, not to mention, but now he even had to monopolize the credit?

If it is a real hammer, Gu Xi's conduct will be ......

Gu Jiayao glared at Ning Yuanhou, Ning Yuanhou, who did not ruin his father's prestige, he would not be reconciled.

If Gu Xi denies it at this time, it will only be considered hypocritical, but if he admits it, the credit will become ...... Gu Jiayao remembered that Gu Xi had been in the field for a long time to grow potatoes.

Gu Xi's character is not suitable for merit.

"Everything has a cause before there is an effect, according to what Marquis Ning Yuan said......"

Gu Jiayao generously blessed the gift, "I ask for credit for my mother." ”

Emperor Yan Wen smiled: "You all ask for credit for your parents, this is for fear that I will only reward Gu Xi." ”

"I'm telling the truth, after all, even if Ning Yuanhou's father has planted all his life, he has never seen potato seeds!"

Gu Jiayao's voice was calm, "Marquis Ning Yuan doesn't have to be upset for your father, potato seeds are not from the Central Plains, but one of my mother's dowries, brought back by a sea ship, no one knows potato seeds, they are just regarded as tattered and useless things, just like the diamonds in my ears, they are all not wanted by others." ”

Gu Jiayao shook her head, the diamond earrings shone brightly, and Gu Guifei also raised her hand, she especially likes diamonds!

Today, I brought a full set of diamond jewelry.

In the main hall, only the diamonds shine the most.

Compared with the calm atmosphere of jade, diamonds have a sense of charm.

Compared with gold and silver, diamonds are a little less vulgar.

Of course, jewellery has its own merits, but novelty jewellery is always the most eye-catching.

Gu Jiayao said: "At that time, everyone thought that my mother's sea boat had useless things, my father read a lot and recognized potato seeds, my mother found craftsmen and spent a lot of effort to polish diamonds from the rough, so I thought that without my mother, there would be no potatoes, and without my father's profound knowledge and daring style of trying, potato seeds would only be thrown away as useless seeds!" ”

"Your Majesty, shouldn't my mother be rewarded?"

"Should!"

Emperor Yan Wen nodded and said: "The Jiang family really deserves to be rewarded, but according to what you said, Aze advocated opening up the sea route at the beginning, and without him always suggesting to me, I would not have been able to make a decision, and Aze also has a share of this credit." ”

"The minister thinks that the credit of His Royal Highness King Rui is far above the minister."

Gu Xi knew that there were many courtiers in the court who opposed the opening of sea trade, and he was afraid of King Rui's domineering and did not dare to oppose it too much.

"This time it's just potato seeds, next time it may be better crop seeds such as corn, Your Majesty, the minister has always believed that the dynasty with sea power is one of the signs of prosperity, after all, the land outside is more extensive, gold and silver and other things, the benefits from the sea may not be less than taxes, and now Dayan is strong, it is the best time to promote hegemony, let people overseas know that Dayan has a wise and martial emperor, rich and powerful, and regard Dayan as a heavenly state."

Gu Xi knelt down and said sincerely: "As long as Your Majesty can firmly adhere to the national policy of maritime trade, the minister does not need your reward, after all, the purpose of the minister's study is only for the security of the country and the people, and he does not care about the amount of gold and silver, or the level of the title." ”

Emperor Yan Wen's eyes moved, "Loyal ministers, pure ministers, Gu Xi, it is my luck that I have your assistance." ”

"The minister tended the potato seeds in the field for more than a month, until the seeds germinated, and the father ...... Old man Gu provided land for the minister impermanence for experiments, it was indeed not easy for him to raise the minister, although the food he gave the minister was far less than Ning Yuanhou's wealth in the British Mansion, but that was all he had, when the minister left, he had given all the silver deposits in the past few years, as well as the field and property shop that his wife married. ”

"In the eyes of Marquis Ning Yuan, these things outside the body cannot compensate for the grace of years of nurturing, as well as the dedication and cultivation of the Gu family's family to the minister, but the minister has also given everything, and the minister is willing to provide for the old man Gu in the future."

The courtiers unconsciously bowed their heads, but Gu Xi did it perfectly.

"Farming is not hard, fighting is hard."

The British Duke said: "If you have a choice, I would rather go to farming to support my wife and children than to fight to raise Ning Yuanhou." ”

Is it the Gu family who pays more, or the British public who pays more?

Gu Xi has today's talent and fame, relying on his own talent.

Marquis Ning Yuan also has military merits and is a fierce general, but most of his military exploits were obtained with the British duke, and the connections he used were also given by the British duke.

In terms of wealth, Marquis Ning Yuan had already begun to enjoy the wealth brought by the British Duke at the age of seven or eight.

And Gu Xixu is still working hard to eat a full stomach.

Who is more advantageous?

Gu Xi got up slowly, stood up straight and looked at Ning Yuanhou who was not far away, "I am willing to give all the credit to your father for the potatoes, and I have a misplaced father-son relationship with him." I don't care what you care about. ”

"What's more, Ning Yuanhou firmly believes that I can't make new contributions, and I only expect to eat potatoes for a lifetime?"

“……”

"Marquis Ning Yuan, waiting for your father to come to the capital, you can ask carefully, I dare to transfer the credit to him, can he dare to follow."

"What? Brother Gu Shi, is this a threat to his father? ”

"Nope."

Gu Xi's eyes flashed with contempt and contempt, "I just don't believe that Old Man Gu is a shameless person, and Marquis Ning Yuan is not like your father at all, nor is he like an English duke." ”

Marquis Ning Yuan: "......"

Someone laughed out loud, isn't this clear and unmistakable scolding Ning Yuanhou for being shameless?

"Only those who can't think of it dare to quarrel with Gu Xi and find themselves." King Zhao gulped down the braised potatoes, "Gu Xi is fierce, this king can't even be provoked." “
