Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 208 Happy Li Yin

After Su Wan'er's explanation, Gao Ming finally understood that what she was talking about was not "Mulberry", but "Shang Sheng".

There are three recognized Shang sages in history, namely Tao Zhugong, Bai Gui and Hu Guangyong, but in the Tang Dynasty, there was only one recognized Shang sage.

That is Tao Zhugong.

Tao Zhugong was Fan Li. He was the first counselor who assisted Goujian in destroying Wu Fuguo, but he also knew that Goujian was the kind of person who could share adversity but could not share wealth. Therefore, after Goujian returned to the country, Fan Li resigned from office and went into business.

There is a famous saying in Fan Li’s business, which is called “Get cheap like pearls and jade, and get expensive like dung”, which means that for low-priced things, you should buy them all like jewelry and jade and hoard them. When the price rises, you will be like dung. Sell ​​it without hesitation.

With his own set of methods, Fan Li has been in business for 19 years and has become rich in the world three times.

However, the reason why Fan Li is revered is not because of his wealth, but because he disperses his wealth to help the common people when the country is in danger and the people are displaced.

Because of this, everyone praised him for "loyalty to the country, wisdom to protect oneself, business to get rich, and fame all over the world." Later, people called those wealthy people "Tao Zhu Gong", and Fan Li was also regarded as the God of Wealth by the world.

But from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, the rulers pursued the policy of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business", so the status of merchants has always been low, and Fan Li's status is also very embarrassing.

To put it more seriously, it is that the godhead is unstable.

It is precisely for this reason that Su Wan'er expects Gao Ming to become a new generation of business sages after Gao Ming chanted the slogan "Business is the way of humanity". He was beaten to death by countless defenders.

It can be seen that in the Tang Dynasty, there was still a big gap between the "sage" of the Shang sage and the "sage" of the Confucian sage. This gap is like the difference between the general manager of a hotel and the prime minister of a country.

One can be fought for, and the other can only be looked up to.

Gao Ming had no intention of seizing Fan Li's "godhead", his purpose was only to regulate the behavior of merchants in the Tang Dynasty, and avoid inflation caused by merchants' snobbery in the future, which would be a big problem.

The most important thing is to form a control over the merchants and tell them with clear answers what can and cannot be done. This is the original intention of Gao Ming to establish the Datang Royal Commercial Alliance.

Su Wan'er didn't know Gao Ming's plan, she was just happy because Gao Ming was about to achieve a new achievement, at this moment, her hand holding the pen began to tremble slightly with excitement.

Seeing Su Wan'er flushed with excitement, Gao Ming couldn't laugh or cry.

"Wan'er, you really think too much. I really haven't thought about Shang Sheng or anything. I just want to speed up the economic development of Datang. Forget it. I said you don't understand these things. You should continue to write." !"

"Ok!"

Su Wan'er was very excited, but her writing was very smooth, and she quickly wrote everything Gao Ming needed.

Gao Ming checked it again, and after finding that there was nothing wrong, he nodded with a smile.

"Well, that's right. It's useful for me to get someone to frame it later."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er nodded immediately.

"Yes, I understand."

After finishing speaking, Su Wan'er directly called Shi Shu and Shi Jian in, and then gave them the things she had written just now, and asked them to send them to the Ministry of Rites for mounting.

After Shi Shu and Shi Jian went out, Su Wan'er smiled at Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness, the lunch is ready, please go and eat your highness!"

After finishing speaking, Su Wan'er gave Gao Ming a blessing.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately raised his eyebrows, then stretched out his fingers to hook Su Wan'er's chin, and moved his face closer.

"Baby Wan'er, I found that you have been very estranged from me in the recent period. You don't even call me a gentleman anymore. Is it itchy? Huh?"

Seeing Gao Ming getting so close, Su Wan'er blushed, and bit her lip.

"Lang Jun..."

Perhaps because of her shyness, her voice was so low that if Gao Ming hadn't gotten close, she would have hardly heard it.

Seeing Su Wan'er so shy, Gao Ming immediately sighed.

"Hey, you're an old couple, and you're still so shy. It seems that it's necessary for your husband to give you a special training!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er's eyes widened immediately.

"Special training?"

Seeing her surprised look, Gao Ming smiled again, but didn't answer her, but turned around and closed the door of the study room, and also locked the door behind him.

After doing all this, Gao Ming turned around and raised his chin towards Su Wan'er who looked puzzled.

"Come on baby, give me one of my favorite dances."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er's face turned even redder.

"Your Highness... No, sir, just let me off this time, the day is still bright, don't wait until night, I will show you how to dance at night, okay?"

As soon as Su Wan'er finished speaking, Gao Ming shook his head decisively.

"No, I want you to dance now, first say yes, if you don't dance, you are not allowed to leave!"

"..."

After about a cup of tea, the door of the East Palace study opened again, and Gao Ming walked out with his hands behind his back, humming a ditty while walking.

"Honghu Lake water, waves, waves, waves, waves, waves..."

Gao Ming was in a very happy mood, so the smiles on his face increased, even when he was having lunch, the smile on his face never stopped.

Seeing Gao Ming's bright smile, Su Wan'er's face turned red again.

After lunch, Gao Ming didn't go out either, but lay down under the shade of a tree and took a nap.

His head was resting on Su Wan'er's lap, while his feet rested on the little tiger Ben Ben's body. Shishu fanned him, Shijian helped him beat his legs, and Huzi stood one meter behind him with two sledgehammers. Left and right, looking around warily.

As soon as Li Yin came in, he saw this scene, so he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It's good to be a prince!"

When Li Yin came in, Gao Ming also noticed it. After hearing his words, Gao Ming immediately raised his eyebrows, thinking secretly.

"Lao Liu's idea is very dangerous, no, I have to vaccinate him!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately stood up and smiled at Li Yin.

"Oh, isn't this the sixth child? It looks like your injury is much better, at least I recognized you when I saw your face."

"..."

After the sad incident was brought up, Li Yin's mood was obviously a little depressed. Seeing him like this, Gao Ming immediately smacked his lips.

"Tsk, old six, actually, I just thought about it a moment ago. It's true that I did a little too much, brother, so I plan to make it up to you."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming put his arms around Li Yin's shoulders with a friendly face, and then laughed.

"Haha, old six, just now I heard you say that it is good to be the prince, so I decided to satisfy your wish and let you be the prince again."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Yin's eyes widened.

"Really?"

Speaking of this, Li Yin seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked at Gao Ming suspiciously.

"Brother, are you planning to trick me again this time?"

Obviously, Li Yin was frightened by Gao Ming, seeing his frightened face, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Hahahaha, you're really serious, Sixth Brother, isn't Big Brother the kind of person who likes to cheat people?"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Yin nodded immediately, but when he saw Gao Ming's threatening eyes, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.

It can be seen from this that Li Yin is not a principled person, but Gao Ming admired his attitude of "knowing the current affairs" very much, and immediately waved his hand at the servant.

"Secretary, you take King Liang to my house, and then give him the robe I wore when I went to court, and go now!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Shi Shu bowed to Li Yin and saluted.

"His Royal Highness King Liang, please come with the servant girl!"

"This……"

Seeing that Li Yin was still hesitant, Gao Ming smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, brother is not so stingy, go!"

"Ok!"

Seeing Gao Ming's amiable appearance, Li Yin nodded his head, and followed Shi Shu to change clothes in a hurry.

After Li Yin walked away, Su Wan'er gave Gao Ming a look of reproach.

"Mr. Lang must have come up with some bad idea to cheat Lao Liu again, right?"

Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"Wan'er, you really misunderstood me. In fact, I intend to teach him to let him understand some truths. This is because he is my younger brother. I am not willing to teach him to others!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming raised his chin towards Shi Jian.

"Shi Jian, go and find me some pony tail hairs, remember to choose the better ones, and hurry up."

"Yes!"

Shi Jian agreed and left quickly, Su Wan'er didn't ask Gao Ming what he was doing with the ponytail, because she knew that she would know the answer soon.

At this time, Li Yin had already changed his clothes and came out. After he came out, he immediately came to Gao Ming's side with an excited expression on his face.

"Brother, how do you see me wearing your clothes?"

Seeing Li Yin's excited look, Gao Ming immediately cupped his hands towards him.

"You look amazing in this outfit, Your Highness!"

Hearing Gao Ming calling himself His Royal Highness, Li Yin was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"I'm the prince? Hahahaha!"

Seeing his proud look, Gao Ming nodded with a smile.

"Of course, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming raised his eyebrows at the servant again.

"Servant, take His Highness the Crown Prince around the East Palace."

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Shi Shu immediately nodded, and then gave Li Yin another blessing.

"His Royal Highness, please!"

Seeing this scene, Li Yin laughed even more happily. While laughing, he followed the servant to the yard next to him.

Looking at Li Yin's back, Gao Ming narrowed his eyes immediately.

"Sure enough, a mental patient has a wide-ranging mind. The bastard youth is so much happier, the sixth son, the sixth son, I hope you can laugh as happily as you do now!"

Having said that, Gao Ming immediately grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.
