The courtiers returned home in deep thought. Li Shui was dragged to Ying Zheng's study by Chun Yuyue.
Li Xin, Li Si, Wang Wan, and Zhao Teng also followed in a tacit understanding.
These important ministers in the court have more information than ordinary ministers. In unison, they thought of something inappropriate, something that could not be publicized publicly.
There was no surprise on Ying Zheng's face, as if he had already guessed that they would come.
kbdHey, a paragraph is missing! If you like it, please collect it: () The fastest update speed. kbdquot;5"
"Now, with the power of Huaiguzi, these rebels have gained such a great reputation. One day, they will raise their arms and raise their arms. What should we do if they cause chaos in Xianyang City?"
Li Si and others nodded in deep agreement.
dfn Damn, another section is missing! , the fastest update! dfnquot;b6"
But Wang Wan held back. Because from the time Huaiguzi entered the court to now, countless people have accused him of being a rebel. As a result, this guy was safe every time, but the person who complained got angry.
Wang Wan sighed: "That's all, just bear with it a little longer. When we have conclusive evidence in the future, it won't be too late to testify against him."
Ying Zheng frowned, obviously feeling something was wrong. But think of the taxes barley pastries contribute. Thinking again that once this model is promoted, the national treasury will be abundant and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, Ying Zheng will be a little reluctant to part with it.
Most of the wealth in the world is in the hands of the powerful and powerful. Now Huaiguzi took out the money from the courtiers without any bloodshed, so that the court could have the power to help the poor. This was not easy.
Today, I can’t watch it anymore and it’s missing a paragraph! Remember in one second, (). abcquot;9"
Ying Zheng asked curiously: "How do you say it?"
Li Shui smiled slightly: "I have already made a plan to make the four Liu Ji perfect people. They are handsome, powerful, well-informed... Well, let's ask them according to the perfect people in Dr. Chunyu's mind. alright."
Chun Yuyue's heart was bleeding. He felt that Li Shui was basically ruining the sage.
Li Shui said: "Under the disguise of ministers, these rebels, every word, deed, and action are in line with the requirements of a saint. They can be said to be perfect people in this world."
"Although this image of a perfect man is pretended and staged. But the people believe it deeply and will work hard to learn from them."
Ying Zheng said: "In this way, wouldn't their reputation be even higher?"
Li Shui smiled: "As you climb high, you must fall hard. The whiter and flawless something is, the easier it is for a little dust to appear."
"One day in the future, Liu Ji and others will have different intentions. I will order someone to release some news. For example...Liu Ji and the others are alcoholics. When they are drunk, they like to curse people."
"For example, Liu Ji and the other four were so shameless that they once called me father in public in order to gain support from Shang Jun Courtyard."
"For example, the four Liu Ji people were narrow-minded. When they were not prosperous, the hotel owner once neglected them. Now that they have made money, they have humiliated the hotel owner."
"These things are all trivial matters. If they were applied to others, they would probably be nothing. But if they were applied to a person with perfect morals, they would be a big deal."
"Those who originally liked Liu Ji must be greatly disappointed. Soon, love will lead to hatred, and then the four of Liu Ji will become rats crossing the street, and everyone will beat them up. How can such a person incite the people to rebel?"
Ying Zheng is doubtful.
Li Xin spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, I think I might as well give another example to make it easier to understand."
Li Shui looked at Li Xin curiously: "Brother Li is so quick-witted today?"
Li Xin smiled honestly and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, please imagine this. If someone told Your Majesty that Huaiguzi hid ten beauties in Shangjun's courtyard and performed songs every night, would Your Majesty still use Huaiguzi to do things? ?”
Li Shui: "..."
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "I will definitely keep him here. After all, he has done a lot of similar ridiculous things."
Li Xin added: "Suppose someone told your majesty that Dr. Chunyu, who appears to be polite on the surface, actually has two beautiful maids in the house, who hug each other every night. How would your majesty feel?"
Ying Zheng's face immediately showed an expression of disgust.
Chunyu Yue looked at Li Xin angrily: "Don't talk nonsense."
Li Xin laughed dryly: "Just give me an example."
He said to Ying Zheng: "Both of them are lustful, but His Majesty's views on Huai Guzi and Dr. Chunyu are different. Just because Brother Huai's reputation is not very good, if he does something outrageous, everyone will think it is normal, so I won’t say anything else.”
"Dr. Chunyu has always been a morally perfect person. If he did anything that was detrimental to his personal ethics, everyone would be eager to scold him bloody."
Ying Zheng nodded and said with emotion: "This makes sense."
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui: "So, those rebels are always under your control? However, I am a little confused, why should I choose these rebels to attract customers? Isn't it okay to choose other people? ?”
Li Shuigan laughed and said, "It's just a coincidence. A few of them have some reputation in Xianyang City, so I made an experiment with them. Now it seems that the effect is good. Others will be introduced in the future." "
Ying Zheng nodded.
Li Si, Wang Wan and others were a little flustered: What? Is there anyone else? Why do you always feel that Huaiguzi will not stop until he empties the wealth of the rich and powerful?
Steamed buns, iron pots, real estate, endorsements...
Piece by piece, piece by piece, Li Si suddenly discovered that his family's expenses had increased a lot since Huaiguzi entered the court.
Alas... what a world.
…………
The next day, thanks to the court meeting yesterday, Li Shui had restrained himself a lot. Xiang Yu and others are not allowed to have contact with those women. Instead, he stood far away and nodded slightly.
Unexpectedly, such behavior only increased the mystery of Xiang Yu and others. It is said that distance creates beauty, and some women are even more obsessed with it.
However, those female relatives were also severely punished by their husbands and fathers. I don’t dare to spend money carelessly anymore.
I don’t dare to spend money carelessly, which means I won’t buy cakes one by one anymore. However, in a wealthy family, cakes are always indispensable. When purchasing, they will naturally choose barley pastries.
And those courtiers could only turn a blind eye and admit it with one eye closed.
In the shop opposite Barley Pastry, the big businessman Jiang Yuan was sitting there.
For several days he analyzed barley pastries.
The waiter next to Jiang Yuan asked: "This barley pastry business seems to be less prosperous than the past two days."
Jiang Yuan stroked his beard: "This is all expected. However, although his business is not as prosperous as the previous two days, it is not much worse. With such a commotion, barley pastry has become a boutique among pastries. . I’m afraid the whole world is already famous.”
"I have noticed in the past few days that not only all the powerful and powerful people have asked for barley pastries. Some elegant restaurants and even maids have also bought barley pastries to entertain their guests."
"Even some big merchants who sell treasures have also purchased some barley cakes to sell to Kanto."
"In this way, the future of barley pastry is limitless."
The guy said: "So, Barley Pastry has made a profit?"
Jiang Yuan smiled slightly: "That's not necessarily the case. After all, it is an endorsement that was paid for 10 million yuan. This shortfall will not be easy to make up. Unless... there are two or three more lively scenes like yesterday."
"Otherwise, Damai may have to work hard for more than ten years to pay off his debt. However, in ten years, his shop will definitely skyrocket."
The waiter sighed: "Although ten years is a long time, it is also very rare to be able to go from a poor person in Guizhou to a rich man with a fortune of tens of millions."
Jiang Yuan nodded: "Yes."
When the two of them were talking about this, they suddenly saw the Liu brothers pulling up a huge white cloth.
Xiang Yu and Xiang Xian stood on the second floor, and the other two Xiang family members stood on the first floor. They pulled the white cloth upright so that everyone on the street could see it clearly.
There are hundreds of paintings painted on the white cloth.
Without exception, these paintings are images of some characters.
Some have treacherous faces, some have wide eyes, some have faces like jujubes, some have ears hanging down from their shoulders, some have feather fans and turbans, some have silver spears and white horses...
Xiang Yu stood on the second floor, raised his loudspeaker, and said loudly: "Barley Pastry, in conjunction with Princess Weiyang's Three Kingdoms, officially launches the Three Kingdoms Card."
"In each package of cakes, there is a card. The person in the card is either Liu Bei, Guan Yu, or Zhuge Liang. They are all different. A total of three hundred and sixty people."
"These characters are just like those painted on this cloth. They are all lifelike and clearly marked. They are a good collection."
"DaMai Pastry solemnly declares that anyone who gathers 360 people can exchange these cards for a telescope or a gramophone."
Xiang Yu's voice was so loud that it quickly spread throughout the street. And people on the street spread the word by word of mouth. In less than half an hour, everyone in Xianyang City knew.
Telescope? phonograph? That is a high-end gadget developed by Shangjun Academy. It is valuable, more valuable than gold. As long as you collect 360 characters, you can exchange for one? What a bargain.
Suddenly, many people were tempted.
Adults may still have the ability to restrain themselves, but those children can't stand it.
They had long heard of telescopes, which could see scenes thousands of miles away. They also heard about phonographs, which could store their own voices.
Ever since they heard about these magical objects, they had been itching to get one to play with. It's a pity that this thing is too expensive and has never been able to do so.
Nowadays... you can get it just by eating pastries, how can those children hold back?
Children from poor families don’t have much idea, because they know that they can’t even afford cakes. But the same cannot be said for those children from powerful and powerful families.
They have been pampered since childhood and have long developed the habit of being bossy. He kept crying and wanted to eat barley cakes.
Therefore, in just one hour, Barley Pastry was once again in a frenzy of buying.
Jiang Yuan sat in the tavern, dumbfounded: "It's actually possible to do this?"
He suddenly felt a little scared, but fortunately Huaiguzi was an immortal and a heavenly being. If Huai Guzi also engages in business, then there will be nothing else to worry about.
Not only did Damai Pastry announce the news, but they also placed a telescope and gramophone in front of the store.
Every child who passed by looked at these two treasures intently, and then began to act up and make sure to buy cakes.
It is said that after Chunyu Yue heard the news, he stood in the study and did not speak for a long time. After half an hour, he sighed: "Huai Guzi, this shameless person, finally attacked a child."
Among the powerful and powerful people in Xianyang City, who can't see through Li Shui's tricks? But there was nothing they could do. The children at home were crying and clamoring for barley cakes, and would not eat if they did not buy them.
The powerful people also know that they don't want to eat the cakes, but they want the cards inside.
The powerful people in Xianyang were so upset that they finally made an agreement with their children that they could only buy a maximum of five packs a day.
For a time, all the rich people in Xianyang City were uneasy, and the powerful and powerful all scolded Li Shui.
As for the barley pastries, no one was looking for trouble. Because everyone knows that only Li Shui can think of such a damaging move.
Upstairs in the Banished Immortal Building, Li Shui and Li Xin sat by the window.
Li Shui drank a glass of wine and looked at the children queuing up to buy pastries. He couldn't help but sigh: "Seeing them reminds me of my childhood. Alas...it's still a familiar feeling and a familiar taste."
Li Xin said: "Brother Huai, there is something I still don't quite understand. How expensive are telescopes and gramophones? They only need to collect 360 cards to exchange for these treasures. In this way, Damai Pastries, I still lost money in the end.”
Li Shui chuckled: "Don't be afraid, when I printed the card, I didn't print Jiang Wei."
Li Xin was stunned: "You can even lie to children? Are you still not a human being?"
Li Shui drank a glass of wine and said quietly: "Brother Li, you believe me. These children will not be angry. When they grow up, they will regard today's incident as the most precious shared memory of their childhood. Memories, really It’s very precious.”
Li Xin was confused when he heard this: "However, if everyone doesn't have Jiang Wei, your trick will be exposed."
Li Shui stretched his body and said, "It won't be long before the profits from barley cakes will far exceed that of a few gramophones. By then, there will be no problem in releasing one or two Jiang Wei to dispel the rumors."
Li Xin poured a glass of wine for Li Shui: "I never thought that when you ordered people to talk about the Three Kingdoms, you actually planned an ambush and used it here. High, really high. Today I am completely convinced. "
Li Shui took a sip and said humbly: "Actually, I admire myself quite a lot."
