Chapter 428: The poor scholar

~6 min read 1,070 words

In the Imperial Garden.

Following Gao Yang's words, the entire Imperial Garden was instantly silent.

Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er looked at Gao Yang in unison, their beautiful eyes wide open.

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but speak, "Lord Gao, did I hear it wrong, what did you just say?"

"The poor scholar is the thirtieth poor scholar on the list, which means the rich lady gave travel money to thirty poor scholars, just hoping they would pass the top scholar?"

"This is not a romantic love story at all?"

Shangguan Wan'er was incredulous.

Wu Zhao was also numb.

According to the context of the story, the plot is not quite right.

But Gao Yang nodded directly and continued to make a follow-up attack, "Shangguan Minister didn't hear it wrong at all. Where are there so many romantic stories in the world? Can this rich lady fall in love with a poor scholar who has nothing overnight?"

"And even handed herself over?"

Gao Yang's words were too heart-piercing.

For a time, Shangguan Wan'er felt like she heard something breaking.

Listen carefully.

It turned out that her heart was broken.

The romantic story instantly turned into a bubble.

Wu Zhao also took a deep breath, feeling that she was too naive.

She had actually harbored the delusion of hearing a romantic love story from Gao Yang's mouth.

This is not Gao Yang's fault, this is her own fault.

Wu Zhao suppressed the emotions in her heart and turned to look at Gao Yang curiously.

"Does this contain the way of the capitalist?"

Gao Yang nodded, "What Your Majesty said is correct. The rich lady and the poor scholar spent the night together, and even spared no effort to give the poor scholar money to go to the exam. This is called venture capital!"

"Venture capital?"

Wu Zhao pondered secretly and muttered a sentence.

"Venture capital, also known as risk investment."

"Simply put, there is risk, but it is also accompanied by the opportunity to make a big profit."

Gao Yang looked at Wu Zhao's face and continued to speak.

"Judging from the vows of the two, if the poor scholar really passes the top scholar, even if it is the second or third place, the rich lady will make a big profit, but what did the rich lady pay? Her own body and a little travel silver."

"The so-called low risk, high return, is just like this."

"This also derived a sentence: investment has risks, entrepreneurship needs to be cautious. After all, if the poor scholar fails to pass the exam, the rich lady's body and silver will all turn into bubbles."

"But if he passes, the rich lady will make a big profit!"

Wu Zhao nodded, lost in thought, "It turns out this is called venture capital."

"Then the rich lady invested in thirty people in total, what is this called?"

Gao Yang touched his nose and continued, "Expanding one person to thirty people, avoiding risks, and increasing the possibility of passing the exam, this is called holding a position."

"If the rich lady gives her body plus a certain amount of silver to each poor scholar, this is called a balanced position, but if the rich lady only gives silver to other poor scholars and gives her body to the thirtieth poor scholar, the former is called a light position, and the latter is called a heavy position!"

Wu Zhao raised a smile on her face.

She took a sip of hot tea and said, "Light position and heavy position, this is a bit interesting."

Shangguan Wan'er thought of the poor scholar's vow and couldn't help but say to Gao Yang, "This rich lady is too excessive. How can one woman serve thirty husbands!"

"If the poor scholar knew, and even passed the top scholar and came to marry the rich lady in an eight-bearer sedan chair, wouldn't he be angry to death?"

Gao Yang looked at the inexplicably angry Shangguan Wan'er and touched his nose again.

Case solved, this Shangguan Wan'er is pure love.

Gao Yang turned to look at Shangguan Wan'er and smiled, "Shangguan Minister can rest assured about this. I can't say about the reality, but in this story, the situation that Shangguan Minister is worried about will definitely not happen."

"Because right after swearing, the poor scholar said to the book boy beside him to record the lady's name, and the book boy on the side said helplessly, 'Young Master, this is already one hundred'."

Shangguan Wan'er: "???"

Wu Zhao: "???"

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "What?"

"Are there still masters?"

Shangguan Wan'er felt that the broken heart had already shattered into dregs all over the ground.

Wu Zhao also looked shocked, her phoenix eyes widened: "This poor scholar is already one hundred?"

"He is even more excessive than this rich lady?"

Wu Zhao was numb.

Sure enough, this capitalist is unfathomable.

Even the small story containing the capitalist way has so many reversals!

Capitalists, sure enough, are dirty!

Can people who can be cultivated by such small stories be good people?

Gao Yang nodded, turned to the maid who didn't deserve a name on the side and beckoned, "This tea is not bad, pour me another cup of tea."

The maid hurriedly stepped forward and poured tea for Gao Yang.

"Lord Gao, if you think this tea is good, I will send you a box later."

"Now, can you reveal the behavior of this poor scholar to me?"

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang and said earnestly.

Gao Yang was immediately full of smiles.

"Then I will be disrespectful."

"Your Majesty, actually I look at Your Majesty... the maid who pours tea beside Your Majesty is also charming!"

Following Gao Yang's words, the maid's body trembled.

Gao Yang's gaze at her was like a tiger, leopard, or jackal.

She heard that Lord Gao of the Duke of the State's Prefecture dislikes waste the most, and even makes his subordinates line up.

Wu Zhao's face turned black suddenly.

This Gao Yang is excessive!

Sensing that the expression on Wu Zhao's face was wrong, Gao Yang immediately cleared his throat and said.

"I don't like to lecture seriously, just to liven up the atmosphere, Your Majesty don't mind."

"But since I want to finish the capitalist way, it can't be that simple. This story is just a beginning." ===== CHAPTER 430 =====
