Chapter 1131: Angry to the point of having a stroke
The emperor had spies all over the capital, and they indeed discovered that Gu Yao had not relied on anyone.
Gu Yao promised the emperor that since the recipe had been given to the emperor, his workshop would be closed and no longer in operation.
He just stopped doing it in Zengcheng, but the workshop in southern Xinjiang is operating as normal.
He sells his products abroad, and he doesn't want to participate in the domestic market. There are many places to make money, and he doesn't want to compete with the emperor for business and cause trouble for himself.
The emperor felt that Gu Yao was very tactful.
Gu Yao also expressed that she would not take sides. She was just a little woman who only supported the current emperor. If the emperor asked him to do something, he would do it 100%.
The emperor has always liked Gu Yao's pretty face and his smart head.
It's a pity that she is just a widow. As the current emperor, how could she marry a widow and let people all over the world laugh at them?
This county lord is still useful to him.
As an emperor, the last thing he lacked was land. Because of Gu Yao's contribution, the emperor directly issued an imperial decree to Gu Yao, giving her the title of "Mingyang County Princess."
The corners of Gu Yao's mouth twitched involuntarily. How could he be called by this name?
Since I have already given you a title, why can’t I give you a piece of land? Even if it’s not much, that’s fine too.
The princess' eyes lit up. Even in the royal family, there were not many princesses with titles.
The emperor is a stingy person.
The royal family members are particularly fertile, and many of them have poor economic conditions.
People with talent can make some money from business and live a decent life. People without talent live like ordinary people and have to do odd jobs or work to support their family.
The princess stayed in the palace to study hard, and Gu Yao returned to his own mansion.
When people outside knew about it, Gu Yao had risen to a higher level. She was actually a county lady with a title, which made many people envious, especially the ladies in the backyard.
There were also those women who were already county lords but had not yet received the title of county lord and were so jealous that they wanted to strangle Gu Yao to death.
Jealousy breeds.
At one time, quite a few visiting cards were handed in.
The rich have wine and meat, but the poor freeze to death on the streets.
As expected, the change in his status made many people come to curry favor with him.
"Miss, are there no visiting cards for today?" Qiuqiu said, looking at the visiting cards.
"Prioritize them. Sort them out for me and I'll take a look at them again." Gu Yao said lightly.
"There is also a post from the head of the Tan family." Qiuqiu knew that they had cooperated with the young lady, so he took it out separately.
"We have already contributed the recipe to the emperor, so the processing workshop can't do it anymore. Just make it clear with the head of the Tan family. Let Xiao Yi go and talk to the Tan family."
When Gu Yao signed the processing contract with them, it did not commit them to continued cooperation.
He has already given the prescription to the emperor. From now on, the prescription belongs to the emperor, and there is no need for Gu Yao to continue making it.
Even the Tan family would not compete with the emperor for this benefit.
It may be a huge benefit to his family, but it is just a drop in the bucket for the emperor.
The emperor has not really started to make money yet. This recipe is more useful in the hands of the emperor.
It is not only used to make money. It is also used in the military, at post stations, and during travel.
With the blessing of the emperor's status, this business should be able to do better. Even if the Tan family's backer is the Marquis's Mansion and the Third Prince, they can't continue to do it.
When Tan Qingyun, the head of the Tan family, learned that Gu Yao had been given a title, although there was no fiefdom, the title of county lord was enough to scare people.
When Tan Qingyun found out how Gu Yao got the title of Princess Mingyang, he immediately pouted.
After waking up, he immediately wrote a visiting card to meet Gu Yao.
He felt that he had some affinity with Gu Yao. Gu Yao would definitely meet him.
Unexpectedly, the person he met was the guard around him.
Tan Qingyun could only stand up with a smile and bow to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi said directly that their workshop was no longer processing and they would not cooperate with the Tan family for the time being.
This also gave the emperor a reassurance.
Gu Yao insists on being a royalist, so let's stick to it.
"How can this be? County Lady Mingyang cannot do this. If she doesn't cooperate, our Tan family will be finished. I'd like to ask Guard Gu Yi to help me ask him to let me see the county lady." Tan Qingyun's face turned red with excitement, and he was about to collapse.
Xiao Yi didn't care what state he was in now.
"The county lady is very busy and has no time. I will notify you if there is any cooperation in the future." After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he asked someone to see the guest off.
"You you you..." Tan Qingyun was about to stick out his tongue again.
Xiao Yi quickly asked the guards to escort Tan Qingyun out and get on the carriage that came from their home at the door.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" the butler said nervously.
I quickly climbed onto the carriage and saw that the master looked dispirited.
"Master, you have to hold on, let's go to the clinic." The housekeeper looked at the master's mouth drooling.
After arriving at the clinic, the people there took a look and determined that it was a stroke.
"If you had come a little later, you might not have come. If the stroke was serious, you would have been lying in bed and unable to get up." The doctor in the clinic was also surprised and quickly stuffed a pill into Tan Qingyun's mouth.
The stroke was acute, as if it was caused by some stimulus.
The doctor looked at the housekeeper and said, "Tell your master not to get too excited next time. This time we did it well. If we encounter the same problem next time, he might die if he is slow. You must keep a good mood."
The housekeeper nodded repeatedly to the doctor. He could only smile along and act like a grandson.
"Thank you, doctor. Without you, who knows what would have happened to my master. You will definitely reward him handsomely when he wakes up and is fine." The housekeeper said, looking at the master lying on the hospital bed.
The master's mouth is no longer drooling.
The butler breathed a sigh of relief.
Tan Qingyun slowly opened his eyes: "Where is this?"
When he woke up, he found that this was a strange place.
"Master, this is the clinic. You had a stroke right after you came out of the County Lady's Mansion. I rushed you to the clinic. Master, how do you feel now?" the housekeeper asked with concern.
"I won't die." Tan Qingyun said this and closed his eyes. His voice was weak.
"The doctor here is really good. Just now, I asked the doctor to do his best to treat the master. I didn't expect the doctor in East City to be so good. After taking one pill, the master's stroke was cured. I just promised him that as long as the master recovers, I will definitely reward him handsomely. How much do you want to give him?" The butler was undecided.
