Chapter 899 I'm about to get rich
The so-called celebrities must be those who bring their own traffic. Wherever they go, they can sign up for a name and get free food and drink, attract the attention of everyone, and make friends all over the world.
Moreover, the flow of celebrities at this moment is different from that of later generations. Celebrities must be old and strong. That reputation is like fine wine, the longer it gets, the better it tastes.
So when celebrities were mentioned, everyone naturally raised their heads slightly habitually.
Just like those people in the later generations, they are embarrassed in their hearts, but they are extremely impatient in the face of fanatical fans.
But who would have thought that these so-called famous people would never be in Gao Yang's eyes...
One sentence, ‘Xiao Jia, who are they? ’, knocking these so-called celebrities into the dust.
The faces of the celebrities were like pig livers, Lu Shunyi said in a deep voice: "Your gentlemen are all celebrities with outstanding virtues and profound knowledge, but what the princess said is absurd."
They are Shandong gentry, and they look down on everything other than the gentry, including the royal family...they have been fighting with the royal family for many years.
The current emperor is more ruthless than the previous emperor, but he is not their opponent.
So... what is a princess?
Gao Yang was looking forward to the trip of the family of three today, but this group of people spoiled her interest, and she asked extremely impatiently: "What outstanding virtues do you have? Do you donate hundreds of thousands of supplies every year?" Almshouse? Did you quietly donate clothes to beggars... Did you take the initiative to pay all the taxes that should be paid?"
…
Four celebrities and one Guozijian offering wine were stunned.
Donate hundreds of thousands of money every year...
Pay tax, I will pay your mother's tax.
Wang Kuan coughed dryly, "Ridiculous!"
Jia Pingan rode forward a little bit, Wang Kuan thought that this man was rich and enviable, so he changed his words instantly, "Some people are rich, some people..."
The old man was wrong again... The children of the aristocratic family are not short of money!
Jia Pingan looked at him, and said calmly: "Those who only think about making profits for themselves, no matter how much gold powder they put on their faces, they will still be cast aside by future generations after many years!"
Li Shuo raised his head, "Aye, what is gold powder?"
The eyes of several celebrities shine...
This child actually called him Aye, this is... an illegitimate child!
Here's the handle...
But Jia Ping'an lowered his head and said softly: "Golden powder! It's understandable for a woman to put makeup on her face for beauty. But some men feel that their virtue is not enough, so they try their best to smear gold powder on their face, trying to deceive the world with their brilliance. .”
He saw a few celebrities go from joy to numbness, he couldn't help chuckling and said: "Idiot!"
He doesn't seek the reputation of a gentleman, what is he afraid of?
If you say illegitimate child, is it illegitimate child? I openly said that the child is my son, and I took him to walk in the city of Chang'an. If the royal family didn't allow me, I could even bring Gao Yang home, so what can you do?
Scum!
His eyes were contemptuous, while Gao Yang looked at their father and son with gentle eyes.
Wang Sheng coughed dryly, "Your lords have an outstanding reputation, and their virtues are universally judged."
This group of people is really shameless, Gao Yang said flatly: "That's what... the praise of a certain public morality is highly respected, and a certain public conduct is outstanding... This is outstanding virtue? Should bragging be shameless? If so, it is outstanding virtue. I will invite you tomorrow People go to brag about the child, anyway, a child of a certain age can still be called a name of high morality and outstanding virtue..."
Slap in the face!
Jia Ping'an wanted to slap these people to death, but seeing that this woman is so good, he smiled and watched the show.
In fact, ancient and modern China and foreign countries are all the same. In a circle, there must be mutual praise. You say that a certain person is highly respected, and a certain person reciprocates, and praises you for your superb skills and outstanding virtues... In the end, after bragging and bragging, outsiders can't help but sigh with emotion. All are gentlemen, all are high men...
But after those scandals were exposed one by one, everyone knew that the gentlemen were all fake, and the people hidden under the masks were male thieves and female prostitutes.
The gentry circle is like this, but Gao Yang slapped the mask away today.
Wang Kuan trembled all over, "Princess...Princess..."
Pharaoh won’t be **** off, right?
Gao Yang said disdainfully: "It's okay to brag, don't talk about lying on the ice and begging carps, at least you can do some practical things for the common people, right? Bragging all day long about being easy to learn since childhood, being filial to parents, respecting elder brothers...is this a moral gentleman? Isn't that what everyone should do?"
She turned her head to look at Li Shuo who was sitting in front of Jia Ping'an, and said, "Dalang, please remember from now on. Once you have done what you should do, don't brag about it, it's embarrassing!"
"gone."
Seeing those people showing signs of high blood pressure, Jia Pingan hurriedly greeted them, and the group walked away.
Gao Yang's proud voice came faintly in the wind, "When Aye was here, it was often said that the gentry often liked to flaunt themselves as moral gentlemen, but where do gentlemen come from in this world? A real gentleman is actually a fool, a fool who can't do anything... "
The definition of a gentleman in this era can be called a perfect man, but where is a perfect man in the world? That is to say, a perfect person who is boasted.
A passer-by couldn't help but praise: "That's reasonable, don't those fools just want nothing?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Some people laughed, some praised, "The princess's words... make people suddenly realize!"
"Walk."
Several gentlemen left the city in embarrassment.
It's easy to play outside the city, Jia Ping'an took them to Jia's farm outside the city.
Wang Yuerong came to welcome you.
"I have met the lord, the princess, and the...jungong."
Don't underestimate Li Shuo Xiao, the title is not small.
Gao Yang frowned, "Isn't this Wang Yuerong? Is he still there?"
What does this mean? Do you want to say that I am a charming girl in a golden house?
Jia Ping'an burst into pieces.
Wang Yuerong smiled calmly, "It's still there."
"You left her here... Is this Jinwu Zangjiao?"
Gao Yang regretted it after finishing speaking, and said with a straight face: "Did you hear that, Da Lang?"
Li Shuo nodded and shook his head... Jia Ping'an's heart sank, thinking that if the two children in the family were replaced, the boss would be silent, and Doudou would definitely nod suddenly... I heard it, and bribe me with something good.
This son is a bit thick and dark!
"Go and see those cows."
Gao Yang was a little embarrassed, but when he saw Wang Yuerong's calm and peaceful expression, he finally understood.
"This woman was considered capable in Baling before, I didn't expect it!"
There is no shortage of cattle in the village. After watching the cattle for a while, Gao Yang urged: "Why don't you let Da Lang ride the cattle, just like a cowherd boy."
"That should be familiar, and... it's better not to."
Jia Ping’an had heard the news of a cow getting angry and killing people in his previous life, so unless it was a cow that was raised at home and the kind that children graze every day, it is unnecessary to talk about it.
"Go and see the pigsty."
Jia Pingan took them to see the pig, and Gao Yang was looking forward to it.
As soon as he entered, an inexplicable smell instantly defeated Gao Yang.
"Smelly!"
The pigsty is smelly, even if it is not built on the toilet, it still has a strong smell.
That's why later generations built a pigsty on the concrete floor and flushed it directly with water.
But Li Shuo was very excited, "It's a hog, it really is obese, Aye, what does this hog eat?"
"Hog! They can eat miscellaneous things, such as vegetables, grains, and even wine lees. They can even eat meat. If you throw them in those garbage dumps, they can live."
Gao Yang frowned outside, "Xiao Jia, can't you?"
hehe!
The famous garbage pig of later generations!
When he went south that year, he saw a garbage dump by the sea... The garbage dump is just a garbage dump. A group of fat pigs are looking for food in the garbage dump. I don’t know what kind of pigs can be raised by eating the garbage. What are the consequences, but the low cost of feeding is moving.
The old farmer outside clapped his hands, which startled Gao Yang and Wang Yuerong. Gao Yang was about to whip his whip, and the old farmer let out a hey, "Your Majesty is right, this hog eats everything, sometimes it is released, and it looks around for food. In this village, all the garbage from the house is thrown outside. It’s piled up, and the pig’s eyes shine when he looks at it..."
Gao Yang and Wang Yuerong couldn't help being surprised.
Gao Yang suddenly realized, "Xiao Jia was originally a farm boy."
"Yes! That's why I feel very kind when I come to this place." Jia Pingan looked at everything in the countryside and felt kind.
In his previous life, he also stayed in the countryside for several years, and his life was extremely hard, going out to herd cattle every morning. There is no breakfast, and he desperately searched for everything to eat outside, but unfortunately the grass was not good, otherwise he would definitely have enough to eat every day.
Wang Yuerong said in a low voice: "Those people with humble backgrounds are ashamed to mention their backgrounds after they get ahead, why doesn't your lord care at all?"
Jia Pingan laughed and said, "What does birth matter? Dogs don't think their families are poor, and children don't think their mothers are ugly. It is true that those children of noble backgrounds can receive good education from an early age, live a good life, and have a higher vision than children of ordinary backgrounds." Cut it off, but your son from an ordinary background is outstanding, shouldn't this be something worthy of praise?"
Li Shuo came out.
This baby Gao Yang wants to use the way in the palace to teach, Jia Pingan thinks that Gao Yang is right after weighing it up.
This is the child born tall.
And Jia Ping'an is a banner for the lower class people to make progress through hard work. As for the poor family, the so-called poor family at this time does not refer to the poor.
Father and son complement each other perfectly.
After returning home, Jia Pingan wrote a memorial and handed it in the next day.
"Your Majesty, Minister Jia of the Ministry of War has a memorial."
Jia Ping'an's Memorial...
Li Zhi looked at the memorial suspiciously, but Yang Deli was in his mind.
Last time, Yang Deli and his fellow made him into a mess. Because of this, Wushun's mother and daughter have been in the palace much less recently.
"What did you say?"
Li Zhi felt that it was better for him to listen.
"It is true...the so-called prosperity must be full of talents, but the talents of Datang are less..."
Are you slapping me in the face?
Li Zhi's face turned dark.
"Jia Shilang said...if we can open the door to recruit talents..."
Wu Mei said slowly: "The previous kings would also issue edicts to let talents recommend themselves, or order talents from all over the world... What does it mean to be safe?"
Ordering the recommendation of talents from all over the country seems sincere, but in fact it is just an emperor's gesture... I value talents, so come quickly if you have talents. But after thinking about it carefully, most of the emperor felt that most of the people in the court were not his own, and wanted to find new forces to form a balance.
This is what Jia Pingan told the prince.
Use civilians to balance others.
Li Zhi shook his head, "How difficult it is, no money is a big trouble."
"Jia Shilang said...he can find a way to get money."
Li Zhi was startled, and glanced at Wu Mei.
Did your brother drink too much or something?
How much does it cost to develop education in various parts of the Tang Dynasty? It is true that Jia Ping'an knows how to do business, but the money he earns is not enough to let go of education.
My brother must be stunned.
Wu Mei nodded, "The concubine knows."
I...why do I feel some relief?
Li Zhi was very happy.
Later, Jia Ping'an was recruited into the palace.
"Turn around!"
Wu Mei's first sentence was this, her eyes were full of evil spirit.
The big thing is not good... Jia Pingan was confused, "Sister, why is this?"
I didn't make a mistake!
He gave Shao Peng a wink: Lao Shao, what does this mean? Give me a hint!
The queen is here! Shao Peng's face was loyal and contemptuous... Bah! Just because you also want us to pass the news secretly? dream!
"Turn around!"
Wu Mei secretly accumulated energy.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Shaopeng and Zhou Shanxiang were...unbearable to witness!
Wu Mei felt more comfortable later, and then asked: "Do you know the cost of setting up schools in various places? Do you know those common people who can't afford to read?"
"I know!"
It turned out to be for this?
Jia Ping'an felt that he was wronged by this kick.
"you know?"
Wu Mei felt that her feet were itching again, "Unless you have discovered gold and silver mountains, how can you stand up to such expenses?"
The more she thinks about it, the more angry she becomes...
Just about to lift his foot, Jia Pingan took a step back, "Sister, what I'm looking for is gold and silver."
This baby is on fire!
Wu Mei looked at him, and subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead.
Don't burn it!
"Have you been drinking?"
"without."
Jia Pingan rarely drinks at home.
That is, he was caught by those old hooligans outside and force-fed him.
"How can there be mountains of gold and silver?"
"Waguo."
Wu Mei said with a cold face, "If it's a lie, it's almost the end of the year, and there is still some dried meat in the palace..."
Jia Pingan thought about the picture of himself being hung on the palace gate to dry, and shivered all over.
"Sister, I swear!"
Jia Pingan raised his arms, Wu Mei was taken aback by his unprecedented seriousness.
"Go and ask where His Majesty is."
Li Zhi is discussing with the prime ministers.
"Your Majesty."
Shao Peng came panting, "The queen has something urgent..."
Li Zhi suddenly thought of Wu Mei's pregnancy, and suddenly got up and said, "Everyone, go back."
Li Zhi hurriedly went to the harem, and went in to see that the queen was fine. Jia Ping squatted there pitifully drawing something, and couldn't help but relax.
"What is this?"
Wu Mei pointed at Jia Ping'an, and said angrily: "Ping'an said that he could find gold and silver mountains, and that he was in the Japanese country. It doesn't sound right for a concubine, but this child of Ping'an never lies."
He never lied?
Then my children are gentlemen.
After saluting, Jia Pingan squatted down again. He was drawing a topographic map...
Li Zhi leaned over and took a look...there are two lines, and the middle of one line here is written Jincheng.
Gimseong was originally the capital of Silla, but now it belongs to Datang.
Then he roughly made a point on the opposite line.
"What's this?"
"Your Majesty, last time when a Japanese prisoner was interrogated in Liaodong, I explained something, saying that a large amount of silver was found near this place..."
At the beginning, Jia Pingan did torture many captives for this, but he came to a very vague conclusion: silver was indeed found in the place mentioned by Jia Pingan, but not much.
In the previous life, it had already become a tourist attraction, and Jia Pingan remembered that it was not far from the seaside.
At that time, I wandered around with the tour group. When I saw Yinshan, the tour guide said with emotion, it was probably opposite Jincheng at this moment.
Immediately deduced that the captives were tortured, and several people were pushed out of the same place...
"Here...are there mountains of gold and silver?"
"It's a mountain of silver."
Jia Pingan said very firmly: "Your Majesty, Xinxue believes that volcanic eruptions will bring many things, and the country of Wa was originally the place where volcanic eruptions were the most intense. Volcanoes brought out gold and silver from the depths of the ground, and over time they became mines. ..."
The place in the country of Wa is prone to urine, and every now and then it is either wind or earthquake.
"I..." Li Zhi looked at him suspiciously, "Are you trying to persuade me to send out an army to attack the Japanese kingdom?"
He glanced at the queen.
Meiniang, you haven't kicked hard enough!
Jia Ping'an really thought so, but he also knew that the emperor couldn't mobilize people for something that hadn't been proven.
"Safety…"
Wu Mei's voice was murderous.
Don't fool me, I'll kick you to death!
Jia Pingan said with a dry smile: "No, Your Majesty misunderstood the subject. What I mean is... get some boats first, bring some experienced craftsmen to look for them, and then use the army after finding them...Your Majesty, after all, money touches people's hearts."
This guy is coaxing the queen... Fortunately, I am here!
"How many boats?"
"Let's have more, not building boats."
The boat going to the country of Wa is like jumping repeatedly on the edge of life and death, and it will all be blown away by a strong wind.
Only sharp-bottomed boats are the most reliable.
"Datang is now... Your Majesty, the sharp-bottomed boat has come out."
Datang has more than ten shipbuilding bases, and the sharp-bottomed ships have been out for a long time, but Jia Pingan has not been able to visit them, which is a pity.
"Not too much."
Li Zhi felt that this courtier was unreliable, and it was not worthwhile to let the navy take risks because of his words, "If there are really mountains of gold and silver, I don't need to say more, those courtiers will jump out and shout to cross the sea and expedition to the Japanese kingdom... I think Can't stop it."
If gold and silver are really discovered, those courtiers will really go crazy...Who? Wa country? Hit that cheap dog slave's place! Even Tubo is fine... Those old hooligans will not hesitate to find an excuse to start a war. Guaranteed that even Li Yifu will clamor that Tubo is shameless and should be conquered!
But it changed after Tang Dynasty, what? Are the mountains of gold and silver in the country of Wa? This...Let's just stick to the fence and dream of going to heaven, let's not go out.
Jia Pingan felt that he had come to the best era, and he lifted his spirits, "Not many, just bring some people, sergeants must, otherwise how to catch labor? Just catch labor."
Li Zhi thought of something, "Last time you also hired a lot of labor in Liaodong, and now those laborers are building the road from Liaodong to the Central Plains. After it is completed, it will be convenient for dispatching troops or anything else."
Sure enough, it is a method inherited in the same strain.
"Your Majesty..."
Jia Pingan looked anxiously, "I still have to ask your Majesty to issue an edict, at least I will use it to get some sharp-bottomed boats, craftsmen and soldiers..."
Li Zhi nodded, "No more than twenty ships."
enough!
But crying poor is a must.
Jia Pingan sighed, "It's too little, too little."
Wu Mei raised her eyebrows, Jia Ping'an cupped her hands, "So I'm leaving."
There are really a lot of more than a dozen ships... It's not for conquest, it's just for mining. The purpose of the army is to capture Japanese people to dig mountains to find mines, not much.
After receiving the edict, the first thing Jia Pingan did was to find craftsmen.
"I went to find artisans who are good at finding mines, especially silver mines. The more the better."
I... No, Datang is about to get rich!
Thinking that Iwami Yinshan once accounted for 30% of the world's silver production, Jia Pingan felt that this was a strategic opportunity for Datang.
"Get Rich!"
…
Good night!
