I, the strongest poisoner, am called the living king of hell by the empress

The two of them were sitting opposite each other in Fengluan Pavilion.

Wu Zhao and Gao Yang sat opposite each other, with two bowls of rice porridge, a plate of tofu and a plate of vegetables on the table.

Gao Yang picked up the porridge in front of him and looked at Wu Zhao who was eating delicious food on the other side.

Even though it was just a bowl of rice porridge, a plate of tofu and some vegetables, Wu Zhao felt like she was eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

"Master Gao, why don't you eat?"

Wu Zhao pursed her red lips, put down the porridge in her hand, looked at Gao Yang and asked.

"I ate a few buns when I went to the morning court, so I'm not very hungry now."

Gao Yang looked serious.

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang with her phoenix eyes, and said with a teasing look, "Is it that I am not very hungry, or is it that the breakfast I had was too bad, so that Lord Gao had no appetite?"

"Your Majesty, this is wrong. How can I be such a person? I have known a truth since I was a child and I have kept it in mind!"

"When the sun is high in the sky, sweat drips down to the ground!"

"Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work."

"I am just not very hungry."

Gao Yang had a serious face and was righteous.

Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er were moved.

Especially Wu Zhao, with a pair of phoenix eyes full of surprise, "I didn't know that Lord Gao had such talent."

"This poem tells the preciousness of food and the difficulty of the people!"

"I want to promote this poem to the world of Daqian. What do you think, Lord Gao?"

Gao Yang said it subconsciously, but he didn't expect Wu Zhao to make such a big move.

He nodded.

"It's my honor."

Wu Zhao picked up the chopsticks, picked up a large piece of milky white tofu, and put it in her mouth.

She said lightly, "Okay, don't be so hypocritical in front of me. After all, we are people who have shared hardships and life and death together."

"I may not know other ministers in this court, but I am very familiar with you, Gao Yang."

"When you first stepped into Fengluan Palace, your face was clearly full of expectations."

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes were sharp, and Gao Yang's old face also blushed.

But fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough, so he was not embarrassed.

"I am indeed a little surprised. Your Majesty is the master of Daqian. The imperial meal is not to say 108 dishes, but at least it is not so shabby."

When Wu Zhao heard Gao Yang's words, she stood up, walked into the hall, and waved her hand.

The palace maids and eunuchs on the side hurried forward to remove the breakfast.

Wu Zhao had stood up, so Gao Yang naturally couldn't continue sitting.

So he also stood up, followed Wu Zhao, and swept Wu Zhao's beautiful legs without leaving a trace.

Shangguan Wan'er saw this scene and immediately glared at Gao Yang.

This Gao Yang is simply the most daring in the world!

Did he really think that Shangguan Wan'er didn't exist?

Gao Yang would not favor one over the other, so he also swept Shangguan Wan'er's two straight and slender legs.

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes glared, like copper bells.

"Gao Yang, my Daqian has suffered natural disasters for years, and the treasury is already in deficit. In the past few months alone, there has been a major disaster in Guangyang County and a locust plague in Guanzhong!"

"Then the King of Wu colluded with the State of Chu, and hundreds of thousands of troops headed straight for Chang'an City, and the people along the way were living in misery."

"Although my Daqian won a great victory, the rewards after the war and the pensions for the soldiers are all huge figures!"

"But my treasury is in deficit, and there is no silver in the inner treasury, so I can only save on food."

"Gao Yang, do you understand my difficulties?"

Wu Zhao's voice interrupted the two people's gaze. She turned her head and stared at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang cursed in his heart when he heard it.

She asked why Wu Zhao summoned him alone and arranged a breakfast.

For an emperor, this breakfast cannot be said to be a bit shabby, it can only be said to be very shabby.

After all this time, waiting for him here?

Wu Zhao's face was full of questions, is there any way to make money?

This Majesty is getting more and more cunning!

But Gao Yang would not say more about these, he spoke directly.

"Your Majesty's frugality moves me, but it is not difficult to make money."

Wu Zhao's eyes lit up, and her heart was hot.

There were a lot of miscellaneous things after the war, in addition to prisoners, there was also the aftermath of the soldiers.

The meritorious soldiers should be rewarded, and the soldiers who died in the battle should be given pensions.

The Changning Army and the Guanzhong Army should be rewarded, as well as food and grass!

But the embarrassing thing is that the national treasury is empty, there is no silver in the inner treasury, and the mice who go in will come out in tears.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, this is the dilemma Wu Zhao is facing now.

Make money!

The first choice for making money is Gao Yang!

"Gao Yang, tell me quickly."

Wu Zhao's voice was a little urgent.

Gao Yang coughed twice, "I recommend Gao Feng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to handle this matter!"

"My father is a tiger, and he has the ability to govern the world.

Talented, he has been the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for decades, and is proficient in money-making and economics. "

"Your Majesty can let him take action, and the dilemma will be solved."

After a word fell.

Wu Zhao was dumbfounded.

Shangguan Wan'er was also stunned.

Gao Feng?

"Minister Gao is talented, but isn't this matter too difficult for him?"

Wu Zhao looked straight at Gao Yang.

What does Gao Yang mean, is he trying to cheat his father?

Gao Feng is conscientious and loyal, but his ability is indeed hard to describe.

At best, he is mediocre and mediocre. It is undoubtedly difficult for him to make a large sum of money in a short period of time.

"Don't you have a vicious plan in mind? "

Wu Zhao frowned and spoke again.

This shouldn't be the case. Gao Yang is full of bad intentions and is best at making money.

How could he not do anything?

"Then I really can't do anything. I am just a small deputy minister of the Ministry of Revenue. In terms of ability, I am definitely not as good as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the recently vacant Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, and the officials of the court."

"I am not capable enough!"

Gao Yang spread his hands and made a helpless look.

Except for the initial reduction in grain prices, Wu Zhao rewarded a deputy minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the supervisory censor, and then she didn't express anything.

There was no reward at the court today.

As a result, he still wants to get something for free.

Do you really think that Gao Yang is a dog who licks the dog and is a tool to solve problems ruthlessly?

He hates people like Wu Zhao who paint big cakes the most in his life!

As soon as the words fell.

Wu Zhao's mouth twitched.

Shangguan Wan'er's mouth twitched too.

Gao Yang's words can no longer be said to be hints, but explicit.

She was also convinced that Wu Zhao had made a breakfast to ask for money.

Gao Yang pushed his father out and asked for rewards in a roundabout way.

This pair of monarchs and ministers were really cunning.

Wu Zhao was angry and amused.

She played a trick on Gao Yang, and Gao Yang also played a trick on her.

"I didn't reward you today, not because I'm killing you, nor because I'm stingy, but because I want to ask for your opinion!"

"Since you mentioned it, I'll say it directly."

"Minister of War, Minister of Revenue, or enter the Censorate and serve as the Chief Censor, you can choose! "

As soon as Wu Zhao said this.

Gao Yang's eyes lit up instantly.

After working so hard for so long, with his head hanging on the belt, it's finally time to reap the rewards.

These positions are the real third rank in Daqian, and they are also powerful departments. They are really powerful!

He knew long ago that Wu Zhao was not the kind of person who painted big pictures!

After the words fell, it was not over yet.

Wu Zhao continued, "The third rank is just a transition. After all, you haven't been crowned yet. I just think these positions are more suitable for you!"

"You are good at military tactics, and the Minister of War Wang Hao is greedy for life and afraid of death. He colludes with his cronies and is not on the same side as me. If you can kill him, the position of Minister of War will be yours."

"This depends on your ability. I will not participate."
