The two of them were so busy that they had to face each other.

A breeze blew by, and there was a dead silence in the pavilion.

Gao Yang's words were too sincere.

Even Wu Zhao was speechless for a moment.

Shangguan Wan'er's face darkened, and she asked, "Then why do you think the scholars from all over the world come to Beijing to take the imperial examinations?"

Gao Yang first looked at Wu Zhao, who had an expressionless face, and then said directly, "There are two types of officials in the world. The first type is the imperial censors like Lord Yan, who are incorruptible and dedicated to the people, but this type is a minority after all. More people come to Beijing to take the imperial examinations and become officials just for money and women."

Wu Zhao: "..."

She took a deep breath. If someone else said this, she would definitely be beheaded, but this was what Gao Yang said, and she had to say it was the truth.

"Sir Gao, I can see that you are very honest with me now."

"But what you said is indeed the truth."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Of course, I am loyal to Your Majesty, just like the endless flow of the river, and my sincerity is simply witnessed by the sun and the moon."

Wu Zhao couldn't listen any longer, and stretched out her slender white fingers and knocked hard on the stone table, saying, "I have heard too much flattery, and I don't need you. You continue to talk about poor scholars."

Gao Yang saw this and spoke.

"As Your Majesty said, let's talk about the poor scholars themselves. For poor scholars who not only get free but also get money, what is the purpose of taking the exam and passing the exam? It's nothing but power!"

"With power, that means women and money."

"But now that the financing is successful, women and money are available, so why do we need to take the exam?"

"Used as a capitalist, this is called a bubble."

After the words fell, the two frowned.

"Bubble?"

"If I remember correctly, this bubble will collapse easily, right?"

Wu Zhao heard Gao Yang's words and spoke.

She had repeatedly thought about the grain price that Gao Yang brought to Jiangcheng, and Gao Yang also mentioned that he first attracted grain merchants from outside with high prices and raised the grain price in the city to the sky. This is a bubble!

Bubbles can collapse easily!

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right."

"All bubbles in the world are like this."

Seeing this, Wu Zhao nodded and said, "I have learned a lot today. I didn't expect that a small story would contain so many truths."

"And you explained it very thoroughly!"

Gao Yang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind, but this story is not over yet. The capitalists contain economic truths, from ordinary people to princes and nobles. There is more to this story."

Wu Zhao was a little surprised.

"Whether it's a rich lady or a poor scholar, is there a follow-up?"

Gao Yang smiled, "Your Majesty, there are also maids and bookboys!"

Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er's eyes widened when they heard this.

Maids and bookboys?

Gao Yang continued, "After the maid wrote down the name of the poor scholar according to the arrangement of the rich lady, she took out a small notebook from her pocket and wrote down the name of the book boy."

"Although the maid cannot directly invest in the poor scholar, she can invest in the book boy around the poor scholar. If the poor scholar is admitted, the book boy will also be worth a lot, and the maid will naturally benefit. This is called following the investment."

"On the other side, the book boy looked at the list in his hand, weighed the silver in his pocket, thought of the ecstasy last night, and continued to travel with the poor scholar. He made money by relying on the poor scholar. This is called a platform."

"A group of people find a poor scholar, let the poor scholar teach them experience and technology, and then share the money earned with the poor scholar. This is called joining!"

Wu Zhao: "..."

Shangguan Wan'er: "..."

Good guy.

Wu Zhao called it a good guy.

Rich lady, maid, poor scholar, book boy, none of them is simple in this story.

"Of course, this is not the end."

"For the past three years, the poor scholar has been traveling back and forth on the road to the exam, earning beauty and money, but the three-year period has come to an end, and the poor scholar decided to go to the imperial capital to take the exam and make another fortune."

"When the poor scholar arrived in the imperial capital, he showed his face everywhere, showing off his literary talent and knowledge. Because of his reputation and talent, he became a hot candidate for the list!"

"Someone secretly opened a bet and bet that he could pass the list. The poor scholar took out one-fifth of the cheated money and asked the book boy to bet that he would not pass the exam. In this way, he would make a lot of money if he passed the list, and he would not lose money if he failed. This is called hedging!"

Shangguan Wan'er's scalp tingled.

She thought this poor scholar was a foolish man before, but she didn't expect him to be so insidious and cunning!

This hedging is simply vicious!

Whether it is passing the list or

Failed the exam, this poor scholar made a lot of money!

As expected, those who play the economics are dirty.

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Gao Yang quietly and made a decision.

Gao Yang didn't know what Shangguan Wan'er was thinking, and even if he knew, he didn't think much of it.

On the contrary, he became more and more interesting, so he continued to say, "The poor scholar was unexpectedly favored by the princess because of his handsome appearance, and was exempted from the imperial examination. This is called listing."

"But in this way, the poor scholar took the money of a hundred rich girls along the way, arrived in the imperial capital, but ended up not taking the imperial examination, and accidentally became a prince consort, unable to fulfill his promise to these rich girls, and the investment of these rich girls was lost, all wasted."

"This is called a p2p scam!"

"Your Majesty can also call it the Gao scam!"

Wu Zhao was moved, "So this is called a p2p scam, the Gao scam!"

"I finally understand now!"

Gao Yang smiled, "Your Majesty asked me about the so-called vicious scam last time, this p2p scam is one of them, the scammers who are proficient in this are all first-class tycoons!"

"I know, but since there is a listing, there will naturally be a delisting. These rich ladies were deceived, so will God sue this prince consort and ask for justice?"

"Is this a delisting?"

Wu Zhao opened her mouth, curiously.

Gao Yang looked amazed, Wu Zhao was really born with the physique of a capitalist.

He said, "Your Majesty is really smart. These rich women were deceived and came to Beijing to seek justice from Your Majesty. This is called defending rights!"

"When Your Majesty learned about it, he was furious and wanted to behead the scholar. This is called delisting!"

"For example, this is a story in the territory of Chu. Just when the execution was about to fall, a eunuch rode a warhorse and shouted with an imperial edict to spare his life!"

"It turned out that the mother of the poor scholar rushed to the palace. She was Xia Yuhe from the shore of Dachu Lake, the old lover of the King of Chu. This poor scholar was the long-lost son of the King of Chu. This is called saving the market!"

After a while.

Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er were both in endless shock.

Their scalps tingled.

A small story, but it contains many economic truths!

Gao Yang took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Your Majesty, this story is over, and it contains many explanations of the capitalists."

"If your Majesty doesn't understand, just ask."

Wu Zhao nodded, curious, "I really have a doubt, and I need you to answer it for me!"

Gao Yang said confidently, "Your Majesty, just ask."

"My first question is, is this story true or false? My second question is, is Xia Yuhe by the Da Chu Lake really the old lover of the King of Chu?"

Gao Yang: "..."

These two questions are almost the same.

The empress is also very gossipy!

Not to mention Wu Zhao, even Shangguan Wan'er is curious.

Gao Yang said, "This story is of course fictional. It is just a more appropriate story among capitalists, and its logic is not very reasonable."

"As for the second one, I have heard that the King of Chu likes to visit incognito. This old Bi Deng must be hungry and thirsty, and he can't control his subordinates. These days, I wrote a book called "The Princess of Da Chu" by the King of Chu and sent people to spread it everywhere, saying that he failed a woman named Xia Yuhe by the Da Chu Lake, and portrayed him as a heartless man!"

Wu Zhao took a deep look at Gao Yang.

She nodded and said, "I think this trick works."

"But it's better to change it to a man, which will be more explosive and more damaging to the image of the King of Chu."
