NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5
The old man was very angry.
As soon as these words came out, Cui Xinghe's face changed wildly.
It was fine to trick the whole village into digging the mountain overnight to open up wasteland by saying there was gold in the barren mountain.
How could this gold be gold on the outside and copper on the inside? How could people be so vicious? !
He looked at Gao Yang with a twitch in his mouth, and his heart was trembling wildly.
On the dragon throne, Empress Wu Zhao was also moved and shocked.
"Gold on the outside and copper on the inside, how cruel."
Gao Yang walked leisurely in the Golden Palace, as if walking on flat ground.
This confident and flamboyant look was very presumptuous, but at this moment, no one spoke to scold.
Gao Yang had a faint smile on his face. "As long as the county magistrate cooperates, we can cut the returned gold on the spot, and then blame the villagers for stealing the gold and punish them in court."
"How can ordinary villagers withstand the harsh punishment?"
"With just a few severe punishments, these villagers who dug out the gold will be tortured into confessing. At this time, even if they understand all this, it is too late."
"Without silver to repay, they can only sign a contract to sell themselves and become tea slaves for life."
"Of course, if I were the tea merchant, I would definitely prevent retaliation and bring more guards with me when traveling. At the same time, I would promise these tea slaves that as long as they work for me for another five or ten years, I will give them freedom. The harder they work, the faster they will be freed."
"When we make money and our business grows bigger, we can build a road or a bridge to facilitate the transportation of tea. Of course, we will definitely declare it to the outside world to facilitate the villagers' travel, and we can also gain the reputation of a great philanthropist."
As soon as these words came out.
In the Jinluan Palace, you can hear a pin drop.
All the civil and military officials stared at Gao Yang, their lips humming.
A huge wave of shock rose in their hearts.
Even the empress's hand could not help but clench the dragon throne, staring at Gao Yang.
This answer shocked even her, the questioner.
In her mind, this question is to test the reaction speed and the control of human nature.
The chaos in the world has been entrenched for a long time, and conventional means are difficult to eradicate.
In extraordinary times, extraordinary people and unconventional means should be used!
Only by taking advantage of the evil of human nature can we govern the country and the world, and become her Wu Zhao's capable minister in governing the world!
This question tests the control of human nature. Blindly raising wages is destined to be a low-level means.
She has also thought about burying gold in the barren mountains or using rumors.
In her heart, this is the perfect answer.
But she didn't expect that Gao Yang had follow-up means, such as bribing the county magistrate in the remote mountains.
Then he used copper as gold, made false accusations, tortured people to make gold diggers become tea slaves.
And this guy thought very carefully, giving a deadline so that these people who sold themselves into slavery would have hope and would not be in a desperate situation.
It was an extremely dirty game, but in the end, Gao Yang actually became a great local philanthropist!
Gao Yang gave her a satisfactory answer.
No wonder this game is called the Monkey Game. People regard tea merchants as monkeys, but they don’t know that they are the funny monkeys.
Even if this boy does not serve as an official in the court, he must not be allowed to do business!
The empress made a decision in her heart. If he does business, I don’t know how many people will be played to death!
Cui Xinghe was stunned and couldn’t believe it.
He didn’t expect that Gao Yang would give an answer so quickly.
He began to think about the feasibility of this matter.
But the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Gao Feng also turned back in disbelief, staring at Gao Yang, his heart trembling.
Such a sinister and cunning person, is he really the descendant of his Gao family's century-old military family?
Such a vicious plan, let alone other ministers in the Golden Palace, even his father is a little scared.
Gao Yang's eyes fell on Wu Zhao, and he said with some regret, "Your Majesty, time is too tight, there are still some loopholes in this game, if you can give me some more time, this game will be more perfect."
Gao Yang felt a little sorry, he was a perfectionist in making a game.
In his eyes, Wu Zhao's problem is a typical game.
This game is still a little rough, and he is not very satisfied.
As soon as these words came out.
All the officials' scalps tingled instantly, and their eyes widened.
They looked at Gao Yang, their faces full of shock, "Can this game be made more perfect?"
This imperfect game cost a small amount of labor, completed the land reclamation, and also tricked a group of people into tea slaves.
If this is perfect, what will happen?
Those people still have a way to survive?
This kid is too cruel.
All the ministers thought in their hearts.
Mr. Zhou was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this situation is too vicious.
Please, Your Majesty, severely punish Gao Yang!"
"I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
Some ministers stood up and bowed to Wu Zhao.
Gao Feng's face suddenly turned cold, and he glanced at the ministers.
Most of them were political enemies of his Gao family.
The Gao family was still too low-key, and any cat or dog dared to stand up and make trouble.
He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said, "As the saying goes, there is no good or bad plan, it all depends on the person who uses it. Although my plan is a little... a little vicious, please understand it, Your Majesty! "
Cui Xinghe's face changed. The empress had just ascended the throne. The position of Zhongshu Sheren was responsible for drafting the imperial edict, which was extremely important and was vacant at the moment.
I thought that this Zhongshu Sheren, the confidant of the empress, must be him, the top scholar of the dynasty.
But at the critical moment, Gao Yang showed up.
He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I also agree with Mr. Zhou's words. This plan is too vicious and cannot be adopted!"
Wu Zhao swept her phoenix eyes over the ministers with cold eyes.
"Since you think this plan is too vicious, do you have a better plan than this?"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhou and Cui Xinghe's faces changed.
If they had a plan, they would have said it long ago.
Wu Zhao had a cold face, and a domineering aura was all over her body. "In my eyes, there is no good or bad plan. A plan that can achieve the goal is a good plan. ”
“Although the plan of Gao Yang, the son of Minister Gao, is somewhat vicious, it is reasonable and even the best solution from the perspective of tea merchants.”
“If everyone in the world has a clear conscience, then where are the corrupt officials? Governing a big country is like governing a small country. All corrupt officials in the world are vicious people. We should use evil plans against evil people!”
“What’s more, the son of Minister Gao can come up with such a vicious plan in such a short time, which shows his talent!”
These words are a warning to all officials, and Mr. Zhou and Cui Xinghe also bowed their heads.
“I am tired, and I will leave the court! "
After saying that, Wu Zhao stood up and left with a beautiful face.
Gao Yang was stunned for a moment.
Running away now?
Where is the promised reward?
If there is no ten thousand taels of gold, at least two beauties.
This empress is too unrefined.
While Gao Yang was complaining in his heart, the officials looked at each other, and they all looked at Gao Yang with amazement.
Everyone knew that today's events would spread throughout Chang'an at the fastest speed.
