Chapter 288 You have the shadow of Zhao Gao
The most lively place in Xianyang City is now the Exiled Immortal Tower. Many people who are interested in the imperial examination come here to listen to books.
Now not only are the people in the Exiled Immortal Tower promoting, but some court officials said with certainty: "The imperial examination questions will be related to the Three Kingdoms. This was reported by Dr. Chunyu and Li Si and several important officials in the court. How can they be false?"
So the scholars cursed Huai Guzi and paid money to enter the Exiled Immortal Tower.
Some people can't afford that much money, so they squat in the corner and listen. When they hear a little bit of scale, they can't stop talking about their ears and feel that they are one step closer to becoming an official.
So near the Exiled Immortal Tower, there is a rigorous and loud noise. Anyone who dares to speak out will be rolling his eyes at the least, or even pulling it out and being beaten.
Unfortunately, Mr. Shan from the Exiled Immortal Tower only talked once a day, which made the scholars hate him itchy. Some people who were extreme asked Mr. Shan’s address and secretly threw a few knives at the door at night.
From then on, if you want to enter the Exiled Immortal Tower, you have to search your body and not carry weapons.
Xianyang City was in chaos, and Shangjun Villa naturally heard the noise. Some craftsmen suggested that Li Shui should bring some guards when he went out.
Li Shui smiled slightly and said, "All scholars who scold me are for the imperial examination. These people are motivated. How could they kill my life for a little money?"
The craftsmen nodded and said yes, they were all cultivated by Li Shui. They respected Li Shui as gods, so naturally whatever he said would be.
Li Shui is indeed very casual in front of the craftsmen, but he is also a little murmured in his heart. There is never a shortage of reckless men in this world. If there is really a reckless man who kills himself, that wouldn't it be awful.
So Li Shui thought for a while and said, "Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace."
Li Shui didn't plan to come back, so he lived in the alchemy room in the palace. He talked about the Red Mansion to Princess Weiyang every day, and then talked about it after the imperial examination was decided.
When he arrived at the palace, Weiyang said with some concern: "Sir, I heard that many people outside are blaming Mr.?"
Li Shui laughed dryly: "The princess is very informative."
The princess said helplessly: "It's really a big deal about this, and it's a lot of controversy, and there are talks everywhere. Even if Weiyang doesn't want to know, he can't."
Li Shui cleared his throat and said seriously: "In my reputation alone, I can gather the wealth that officials and families have accumulated for a long time and provide relief to the people. I feel very happy."
Wei Yang looked at him with admiration.
After a long time, Weiyang said worriedly again: "However, the people outside misunderstand the adults more and more. I am worried that they will slander in front of their father. You must know that everyone can make money and destroy bones."
Li Shui said lightly: "Originally, I sacrificed my life for the people of the world, but I am unshirkable. But now that the great cause has not been achieved, I die rashly, and it is not the time."
"Yes, yes." Wei Yang nodded repeatedly.
Li Shui suddenly turned his head and looked at Fu Yao: "A disciple, I have encountered some difficulties now. Are you willing to help me?"
Fu Yao looked at Li Shui with a vigilant look on his face: "Master, do you want to cheat me?"
Li Shui looked at Fu Yao with a puzzled look: "What are you talking about?"
Fu Yao said, "Every time you smile like this, there will be no good things."
Li Shui said helplessly: "Master and you all prosper and lose both. Why do you cheat? Now there is a great opportunity in front of you. I wonder if you can fight for it."
Fu Yao came to interest and asked, "Master, what is the opportunity?"
Li Shui said: "Would you like to donate a thousand taels of gold?"
Fu Yao's face turned green: "Why?"
Li Shui advised earnestly: "Now there are many scholars who want to listen to the Three Kingdoms and then take the imperial examinations, and contribute their strength to the Qin Dynasty. But when you listen to a book, you can't afford it. Are you willing to donate a thousand taels of gold to help them? After all, you are a prince, and you should also select scholars for the court and contribute your own strength."
Fu Yao was a little reluctant and whispered: "Isn't it good for Master to set the price a little lower? To be honest, I think it will cost so much money to listen to a book once. Isn't it a bit expensive?"
Li Shui scolded: "The patent period is only one year. After one year, everyone can speak books, word of mouth, and hundreds of people have learned it in the blink of an eye. Don't we take advantage of making some money now, and won't we drink the northwest wind in a year?"
Fu Yao said with a bitter face: "However, if I donate a thousand taels of gold, how can I make money?"
Li Shui said: "This thousand taels of gold is only for candidates. Ordinary people want to listen to books, but they still earn it at the original price of thousand taels of gold in the blink of an eye."
Fu Yao hesitated for a while and nodded.
At this time, Wei Yang smiled from the side and said, "The master was attracting scolding in front, but let his disciples win people's hearts behind. The exiled immortal really sacrificed himself for others."
Li Shui smiled slightly: "The princess is indeed extremely smart, you can see this."
Wei Yang smiled and said, "But there is another thing that I can't understand. If the gentleman wants to help those scholars, he can just secretly reduce the price, and then lied that Fu Yao had already paid the money for them. Why did Fu Yao have to take out a thousand taels of gold? Isn't this an unnecessary move? Anyway, he has shares in Shangjun Villa, and his money is also the money of Shangjun Villa."
Li Shui smiled and said, "It's very simple. Now the business of Shangjun Villa is getting bigger and bigger, and every account must be clear. Public is public and private is private, so it must not be confused. Otherwise, a bad account will be created, and the accountant will take the opportunity to embezzle money, and he will not know how to investigate it."
Weiyang nodded in conscience: "So there is this trick."
…………
The next day, a news was circulating wildly inside and outside Xianyang City: Mr. Fu Yao pity the scholars and specially took out a thousand taels of gold to support everyone.
With a reserve of thousands of taels of gold, thousands of coupons were made. Anyone who holds the coupons could get one million.3 million yuan.
Anyone who has signed up for the imperial examination before can receive a coupon, and each person can receive one.
These news spread quickly. Many people who wanted to listen to books were silly. If they had known that there were such benefits, they should have signed up before. Now they would take the opportunity to register, but it seems too late.
As for the scholars who had signed up, they were naturally grateful to Fu Yao.
These people said that when the imperial examination was about to be held that day, the powerful and powerful in Xianyang City were unhappy. It is said that Fu Yao and his disciples fought over the argument to get everyone such an opportunity. Originally, everyone thought that this was just a rumor, but when they saw it today, they realized that it was not a rumor, but a real one.
After this day, there are still many people who scold Li Shui as if they are crossing the river. And countless people praise Fu Yao.
Of course, some people praise it, some people disdain it. For example, Ji Ming said coldly: "A group of stupid talents, this is just a master and apprentice Huai Guzi who is buying people's hearts."
Xiang Chao, who was sitting opposite Ji Ming, asked curiously: "Use a thousand taels of gold to win people's hearts? This is a big deal."
Ji Ming smiled and said to Xiang Chao: "Mr. Jinggai, you have not been in Xianyang City for a while and I don't know the tricks here. Shangjun's villa is not just Huai Guzi, but four people. Huai Guzi accounts for 50%. Your Majesty, Fu Yao, Weiyang, and 50% of them."
"In other words, Mr. Fu Yao claimed to have taken out a thousand taels of gold. Who knows if he really took it out? Maybe he took it out, it was just a left hand to a right hand."
Xiang Chao nodded and said, "Master and disciple Huaiguzi are so cunning. But there is a little wisdom in the cunning. There is a bit of my Yu'er's shadow. Lord Ji probably doesn't know yet, right? My Yu'er is both wise and brave. It is rare in the world."
Ji Ming laughed and thought to himself: What's wrong with this guy? After a few words, he will bring the topic to Yu'er. Isn't this person a fool?
Xiang Chao said to Ji Ming again: "Mr. Ji, are we going to let Fu Yao win people's hearts?"
Ji Ming said: "If Brother Jing thinks that the money is too much, you can go to the gate of the Exiled Immortal Tower to spend money. Anyone who is willing to listen to books will give them 100,000 yuan."
Xiang Chao said with a smile: "Everything else is missing, but I don't lack money. Haha..."
Ji Ming looked at Xiang Chao helplessly, and even felt a little disgusted. He said to Xiang Chao: "Brother Jing, now Mr. Fu Yao is buying people's hearts, and everyone is happy to be bought by him. Even if he is an important official in the court, he dare not say anything. But what about Brother Jing? He is a powerful man in Guandong, and his identity is sensitive. If you really make a big fuss and win people's hearts, you may be killed in a moment or three moments."
Xiang Chao was stunned for a moment, then nodded in fear: "Mr. Wei, Jing Dai is in danger."
Ji Ming didn't say anything. He was secretly despising Xiang Chao in his heart: Who were the ones who worked with me in the past? Wang Li, Zhao Gao, Xiongnu Shanyu, Wang Heng... That one is not a hero for a while? So now he is getting back to life? Cooperating with such a fool? He won't cheat me, right?
Ji Ming didn't know that when he was working with him, he had the same thoughts. However, now Ji Ming has become more and more powerful as he cooperates with experts, so he is qualified to discriminate against Xiang Chao, a fledgling guy.
Xiang Chao asked modestly: "What should we do?"
Ji Ming said: "Wait, wait until Huaiguzi reveals its legs. Don't move Fu Yao, we can't move him. We must lurk, stare at Huaiguzi, and then kill with one blow. As long as Huaiguzi dies, everything Fu Yao has done recently will be useless."
Xiang Chao was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he finally figured it out. Then he gave Ji Ming a thumbs up and said in great admiration: "Gao, it's really Gao. I saw the shadow of Zhao Gao in Lord Ji."
