Chapter 1362

Compared to Gao Yang, she appeared too kind.

Thinking about this at night, she could sleep soundly without worrying about a guilty conscience.

"Do you need me to do anything?"

Wu Zhao put down her teacup, her slender fingers tapping slowly on the stone table, her gaze fixed tightly on Gao Yang.

"Although the price of Zhao Gao has climbed significantly, reaching the conditions for harvest, it is not enough!"

"If Your Majesty does not mind, then I would like to ask Your Majesty to perform a play—during the morning court, the Da Qian Shu brocade you are wearing suddenly tears. In your fury, you denounce the quality of the Shu brocade and order the Court of State Ceremonial to purchase another hundred bolts of Zhao Gao from the Zhao Kingdom."

"At the same time, introduce a tribute satin system for Zhao Gao, Shu brocade, and other silks, assessing them from different aspects such as workmanship, material, and color, dividing them into four grades: A, B, C, and D."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow.

Gao Yang's voice was very soft, and his eyes were very calm, but listening to him made one feel a chill.

Under Gao Yang's influence, Wu Zhao also had a certain understanding of the methods of economic warfare and immediately understood Gao Yang's intention.

"Is Minister Gao trying to continue hyping up Zhao Gao with this move?" Wu Zhao asked.

Gao Yang nodded, "Correct. The hype methods are nothing special; they are nothing more than news-based hype and policy-based hype."

"What I need to do now is two-way hype—to push the price of Zhao Gao to its peak!"

"Then next..." Gao Yang said this, revealing a cruel smile, "After the hype, comes the harvest, the endless plunge when the bubble is pricked!"

"But this method is too complex to explain clearly in a short while; it needs to be adjusted according to market price dynamics. Your Majesty just needs to leave it to me and wait for the good show to begin."

"I guarantee this big show will be absolutely wonderful."

Although Gao Yang did not say it explicitly, Shangguan Wan'er felt a deep chill.

She suddenly thought of Linjiang City.

How similar were those methods?

At that time, those grain merchants entered the trap one after another under Gao Yang's hype, and in the end, the bubble collapsed, and they were ruthlessly harvested by Gao Yang.

That time... I don't know how many Linjiang merchants went bankrupt and had their families destroyed.

Before Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, it seemed as if the wails of the Zhao Kingdom merchants and nobles appeared.

So... real!

So... exciting!

Wu Zhao took a deep look at Gao Yang. Even as a generation of emperors, she could not hide the excitement in her heart.

She said to Gao Yang, "Minister Gao, I entrust this matter entirely to you. The Six Ministries will fully cooperate with you."

"I am waiting to see your methods, I am waiting for you to destroy a country with one strategy!"

The Zhao Kingdom is different from the other five countries. It is on the flank of Da Qian—to the east are rolling mountain ranges, and to the south is the boundless ocean. The unique terrain adjacent to Da Qian destined it to be a serious threat to Da Qian.

Such a threat should be strangled in the cradle in advance.

"Your Majesty... with me taking action, you can rest assured."

Gao Yang laughed first.

Thinking of Gao Yang's methods, Wu Zhao was also quite at ease with him, so she did not say much more.

Gao Yang picked up the hot tea poured by the palace maid, took a sip, and then, as if suddenly thinking of something, said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing I would like to ask you..." ===== CHAPTER 1364 =====
