Chapter 1487: A hundred coins a sheet is expensive, think about whether you have worked hard!

Boom!

Once Gao Yang said this, it swept through the entire Jin Luan Palace like a huge storm.

The determination and domineering in these words made some scholars and officials tremble.

Swish, swish, swish!

For a time, many gazes gathered on Gao Yang, all carrying disbelief.

You're making it so burning?

Even some officials who were originally taking a nap and waiting for the court to end were burned out of sleepiness.

Cui Xinghe's expression changed. At this moment, he remembered everything.

During the nursery matter, Gao Yang was also like this, and those words are still circulating among the people to this day.

Because of those words, among the poor scholars, I don't know how many people support Gao Yang.

Now, this Living Yama is here again.

Not to mention anything else, just these two sentences: "This paper is not expensive; what is expensive is that people's hearts are not what they used to be! This price is not fair; justice lies in the hearts of the people! Even with the body of an ant, one dares to shake a towering tree! There are ten thousand times ten thousand poor scholars, how can you allow the gatekeeper families to fish for meat."

These two sentences are enough to spread throughout Da Qian.

And it will also cause a huge backlash against the Pei family, just because the Pei family's paper is indeed too expensive, and this phenomenon is indeed unfair!

What power does text have? This is a question Cui Xinghe has been pondering. The last time he felt the power of text was when he was reading an ancient book and read a sentence.

Paronychia, but he kicked the wall hard, and the pain could be felt through the text.

Then... it was this time!

Even with the body of an ant, one dares to shake a towering tree! There are ten thousand times ten thousand poor scholars, how can you allow the gatekeeper families to fish for meat!

This sentence is so good that even he, Cui Xinghe, couldn't help but want to kneel to Gao Yang!

The truth of the matter is not important, because Gao Yang hit the Pei family's lifeline—mulberry paper!

Today's morning court, it's interesting!

On the side.

Wang Zhong, Yan Zheng, and others were also shocked, and they quietly retreated, staring dead at Gao Yang's position.

The direction of this morning court is getting more and more wrong.

The Living Yama has unknowingly controlled the main field, and the Pei family fell into a disadvantage at the first moment of the exchange!

Pei Cheng's face was ugly, his eyes full of palpitations and horror.

Pei Ji was also dumbfounded.

Even if he was useless, he knew what the Pei family's lifeline was?

This Living Yama actually took the initiative to make trouble for his Pei family!

Compared to the ugly faces of the Pei father and son, Lu Wen felt a sense of relief.

He, Lu Wen, finally grasped one of the few opportunities in his life.

Just these words made Lu Wen feel settled in his heart!

Gao Feng's expression was ugly.

When he was chatting with Gao Yang yesterday, he begged... no... he ordered Gao Yang to give him a chance to show off in front of people, after all, he was also the man who wrote "Preface to the Wicked Son Gao Yang of Changan".

Under his persistence, Gao Yang gave him the domineering words at the morning court earlier.

But he didn't expect that this wicked son still had words that were more showy, a miscalculation!

Sigh!

Gao Feng sighed in his heart.

Wu Zhao was also shocked, and then couldn't help but get excited.

Gao Yang made trouble, and he didn't even notify her before making trouble.

This bastard, after the court, I must question him well!

But at this moment, this play still has to be sung. She still has to cooperate with Gao Yang.

So, Wu Zhao pretended not to know and said, "Minister Gao, is this mulberry paper so expensive? Worth a hundred coins a sheet?"

Gao Yang said, "Your Majesty, this matter is known to the whole court, how can this subject make it up?"

"Furthermore, the head of the Pei family and the young master of the Pei family are all in the Jin Luan Palace. Your Majesty can ask and know."

Wu Zhao finished listening to this, her phoenix eyes looked at Pei Cheng and Pei Ji, her voice could not tell joy or anger.

"Minister Pei, is what Prime Minister Gao said true?"

Pei Cheng had cold sweat all over his back, and he cursed Gao Yang ten thousand times in his heart.

But at this moment, he could only force a smile and bow to Wu Zhao, "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Gao said is indeed true!"

"This mulberry paper is indeed expensive, but regarding my son insulting the scholars of the world, this is purely nonsense, it is framing!"

"This subject asks Your Majesty to judge!"

Pei Cheng thought about pulling the topic back, returning to the matter of beating people, so as to avoid this topic that was extremely unfavorable to the Pei family.

But since Gao Yang started making trouble, how could he give Pei Cheng a chance to breathe?

Gao Yang waved his hand and said loudly to Pei Cheng, "Pei family head, right and wrong, this Prime Minister has no intention to explain, anyway, justice lies in the hearts of the people!"

"This matter, just assume I, Gao Yang, wronged Young Master Pei, it is I, Gao Yang, who made it up, Gao Yang pleads guilty, losing a head is just a bowl-sized scar, what is there to fear?"

"Whether it's a knife or a scrape, Gao Yang will follow your lead, but Gao Yang just wants to ask the Pei family head, why is this mulberry paper sold so expensive?"

"At this price, how can the Pei family bear it?"

Pei Ji almost spat out old blood.

He pointed at Gao Yang and started cursing, "Lord Gao, what is called just assume you wronged, this is clearly."

"You damn..."

He was about to explode with national essence.

But Pei Cheng reached out and stopped Pei Ji, interrupting him.

Under the eyes of the officials, he looked straight at Gao Yang's handsome face.

He knew that today's matter was no longer a matter of beating people.

Now it's this Living Yama throwing a killing move!

Then... let's have a fight!

Pei Cheng thought of this and said to Gao Yang, "Since the Prime Minister asked, then this subject will boldly solve the confusion for the Prime Minister."

"Mulberry paper was born hundreds of years ago and has always been expensive. This is not the fault of our Pei family, but the raw materials used for good paper are extremely expensive."

"The Prime Minister is proficient in business, the cost is raised, then the price of the product naturally cannot be lowered, no need for this subject to explain too much, right?"

Pei Cheng's eyes were like poison, staring at Gao Yang and saying slowly.

Gao Yang narrowed his eyes and said with a heavy voice, "Then a hundred coins a sheet? Sold so expensive?"

Pei Cheng said almost without hesitation, "Prime Minister, you are standing and talking without back pain. This mulberry paper looks simple, but its craftsmanship is complex, far beyond the Prime Minister's imagination."

"Not to mention anything else, for a piece of mulberry paper to be born, it needs to be mixed with mulberry bark and silk, plus incense and dyeing, going through multiple processes!"

"Mulberry bark is not cheap, and our Pei family is a model of scholar-official families, how can we treat the commoners harshly? This wage is also not small, right? Not only that, behind every process, silver is needed to support it!"

"Even after it is made, the cost of transportation, the loss of raw materials, has the Prime Minister ever thought about these?"

Speaking of this, Pei Cheng's voice became louder and more excited.

He really didn't look at the poor scholars of the world, and he also despised them from the bottom of his heart.

His tone accelerated, full of dissatisfaction.

"A hundred coins a sheet, is this expensive? Is this price still expensive? It has always been this price, okay?"

"Those who say it's expensive, those who can't afford it, might as well think about whether they have worked hard these years!" ===== CHAPTER 1489 =====
