NOVEL NEXT Chapter 209
The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was full of sunshine.
Imperial Garden.
A breeze blew by, and the petals danced lightly. The air was filled with the rich fragrance of flowers and plants, fresh and pleasant.
Wu Zhao and Gao Yang sat on the stone bench in the pavilion. There were fine cakes and mellow tea on the stone table.
Wu Zhao elegantly picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. She looked so noble. She looked at Gao Yang who was eating cakes in front of her with her phoenix eyes, and couldn't help saying.
"Gao Yuanwailang, no, now you should call him Gao Shangshu. Are you released from the starvation prison? Or are the cakes in my imperial kitchen so delicious?"
Wu Zhao said unhappily.
Gao Yang stopped stuffing his mouth with his hands and smiled embarrassedly.
"I was just hungry for a moment. As the saying goes, you should save money when you can. This cake made by the imperial chef costs dozens of coins outside!"
Wu Zhao twisted her eyes and said in a bad tone, "So you are saving money from me?"
"Ahem!"
"I don't mean that!"
Wu Zhao snorted coldly, then smiled as if she thought of something.
"Eat it!"
"Your three years of salary is enough for you to eat tens of thousands of yuan!"
Hearing this, Gao Yang lost his composure.
He stuffed a few more pieces of osmanthus cake angrily.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this. Isn't this a stopgap measure for court officials? I have been honest all my life. How can I live without three years of salary?"
"Willn't I starve to death?"
Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang's broken defense and her mood instantly improved.
She said lightly, "Your Majesty, I am not joking."
"Besides, do you really think I don't know what you did?"
Gao Yang was a little nervous when he said this.
Is Li Long exposed?
But fortunately, he had already made plans. He ate noodles every day and didn't spend more money just to prevent this day, but this must be said to be a huge trouble.
"What does your majesty know?" Gao Yang asked carefully.
Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes seemed to be piercing through, and she looked at Gao Yang coldly and said, "The so-called 70% of soap, can I really have 70%?"
"I am not stupid!"
Gao Yang smiled embarrassedly, "Look at what your majesty said, I can check everything, and I have a clear conscience!"
Wu Zhao just smiled and said nothing, then she spoke with a serious face.
"I have done what I promised you. Now Baiyutang is very popular, but what about your so-called noble families and merchants rushing to give money?"
Gao Yang took a sip of tea and smoothed his throat and said.
"Maybe someone will come to give money today when I return from the palace."
"As long as we have this money, we can solve the urgent problem, and then it will be pure profit, and Zhao Gao's layout can also be put into action when the time comes."
Speaking of Zhao Gao, Wu Zhao nodded, her phoenix eyes were cold.
But she looked curious and asked, "I am curious about your methods. How will you do it? Make them bribe? Or use methods to rob!"
"Can I learn a trick?"
Shangguan Wan'er also looked at Gao Yang with a pair of eyes, full of curiosity.
Ever since Shun won the Gu Guan Bureau, she has been very interested in economic methods.
Gao Yang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the so-called bribery and robbery are ultimately minor methods. Especially since Your Majesty is an emperor, you should look further ahead. The real method is, as I said, to make people willingly come to give money and be grateful to me!"
"I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard of investment and franchising?"
Wu Zhao frowned and looked at Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er also shook her head.
She was also very curious about what Gao Yang said about the emperor looking further ahead.
"I have time today. Can you tell me about your so-called capitalist ways? I will never tell anyone. Since I want to launch an economic war against Zhao, I can't be completely ignorant of it, right?" Wu Zhao said to Gao Yang. Gao Yang smiled and said directly, "Since your majesty has spoken, and has made me the Minister of Revenue under great pressure, I should tell you everything I know." "I will try to make it as easy to understand as possible." Gao Yang took a sip of tea while holding the teacup and began to think about his thoughts. Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er looked at Gao Yang and waited quietly. They were very curious about Gao Yang's capitalists! In their eyes, capitalists are no less than any of the various schools of thought! Especially these tricks, they were even more curious. Soon, Gao Yang's eyes lit up. "I got it!" "Then I will go to Beijing as a poor scholar.
The story of the poor scholar who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and the rich lady, tell your majesty about this capitalist! "
Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er looked curious.
"The story of the poor scholar who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and the rich lady?"
Gao Yang cleared his throat and said, "It is said that there was a poor scholar who was on his way to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Because it was raining heavily, he found a rich family to take shelter from the rain!"
"The rich lady of the rich family warmly entertained the poor scholar, and after discovering that the poor scholar was very talented, the two fell in love with each other in the rainy night and lingered together."
"The next day, the rich lady shed tears for the poor scholar and shouted to him, "If you pass the imperial examination, don't let me down!"
"And the rich lady also gave some money as the travel expenses for the poor scholar to take the imperial examination. The scholar took the money, held the rich lady's hand, and swore, "If I pass the imperial examination, I will marry you in a sedan chair with eight bearers, and I will promise you a prosperous life. This love is eternal, and I will never let you down, and I will grow old with you! "
"After saying this, the scholar took his servant and set off for Beijing!"
After hearing these words, Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er were moved.
Even though Wu Zhao was an empress, she was still a woman and yearned for these romantic vows.
It was really romantic that the poor scholar and the rich lady fell in love overnight!
She was moved.
Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help asking, "What happened next?"
"Did the poor scholar pass the exam and marry the rich lady in a sedan chair? "
Gao Yang touched his nose.
Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er's focus is a little different.
But the direction of this story is really not like this.
Gao Yang looked at Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er and continued.
"After the scholar swore and left, the lady asked the maid to record the scholar's name in the book. The maid said helplessly, "Miss, this is already the 30th scholar."
"The lady looked at the scholar's back and said, "There is no way. There are so many scholars. There will always be one who will really pass the exam. ""
