Chapter 580

"And this Road-Blocking Asura Gambit can also target the young people of the world. If you link housing to love, and set housing and the mother-in-law as the stumbling blocks to love, artificially intensifying this conflict, you can take advantage of the situation to raise housing prices!"

"At that time, the imperial court can take advantage of the situation to introduce mortgages, making the whole family carry a thirty-year mortgage. The interest and taxes involved would be astronomical!"

"Once this plan is out, not a single young person in the seven kingdoms will be able to escape. With this, why worry about the national treasury having no money?"

Gao Yang clenched his fist heavily, his face moved.

Strictly speaking, this is also a Road-Blocking Asura Gambit, and it belongs to an upgraded version.

Not only does it artificially create problems and then intensify the conflict to draw people into the trap, but this housing price also mixes in the 'Yin-Scheme Yang-Favor' Gambit and… human nature.

After all, who doesn't want their daughter to have security when she marries?

Love without material substance is nothing but a pile of loose sand!

Under the influence of human hearts and hype, once a large number of merchants join in, new houses will surely flood the market!

But relatively speaking, this plan is not mature yet.

After all, the current Da Qian and the seven kingdoms are still too poor, but against the aristocratic families and the middle class of the world, it is an out-and-out open conspiracy!

"Hiss!"

Hearing this, even Gao Tianlong gasped.

His eyes flickered, and he instantly realized the viciousness of what Gao Yang said.

Even he had to say it was terrifying.

Gao Feng had a complex expression, "With such a plan, since you had the idea, why didn't you say it?"

He looked curious; this didn't seem like Gao Yang's style!

Gao Yang put his hands behind his back and looked up, sighing with emotion.

"Not for anything else, just because child is kind!"

"The young people of the world are already miserable enough for their livelihood and just to survive. If child were to do this, wouldn't I be worse than a beast, and end up with no descendants?"

Once these words were out, Gao Feng's eyes widened.

Had this wicked son of his really changed his nature?

Lady Li was full of relief, "My son still has a trace of humanity; my heart is very comforted!"

But hearing this, Gao Tianlong rolled his eyes at Gao Yang.

He said indifferently from the side, "Is it because you are now in a high position with great power, and there is no need to do such a vicious scheme that harms the country and the people, for fear of being 'lit as a sky lantern'?"

Hearing this, Gao Yang's old face turned red instantly.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicier when it's old!

"Look at what Grandfather is saying, does Sun Er look like that kind of person?"

"Sun Er purely feels that this matter is too beastly and easily leads to having no descendants, so I disdain to do it!"

"Although Sun Er studies the way of capitalists, I despise capital extremely!"

Gao Tianlong stared at Gao Yang without speaking.

Gao Feng and Lady Li also stared at Gao Yang without speaking.

Seeing this, Gao Yang retreated directly.

"Alright, Sun Er admits it. Although being a capitalist is satisfying, everything in excess is bad. The profit of a thousand-tael steamed bun is big enough, but the death is also miserable."

"Being lit as a sky lantern is considered a good outcome."

"Looking at the merchants of the seven kingdoms, which tycoon has been raided by the imperial court and had their nine generations exterminated, without the common people clapping and cheering?"

"Being a capitalist is not as good as being an official!"

"Being an official not only waits for capitalists to send money, but the key is not having to be lit as a sky lantern!"

Gao Yang's tone was firm.

It is truly a different era. If he dared to copy this housing price scheme and drive up the price of steamed buns—let alone a thousand taels, even if it were a hundred wen each—there would be countless Jianghu experts upholding justice who would want his life.

In that outcome, being lit as a sky lantern would be considered good.

On this point, unless pushed to a dead end, Gao Yang would never do it.

Gao Feng: "…"

Gao Tianlong: "…"

These words made so much sense.

"Young Master, the Second Imperial Prince of Yan Kingdom has sent an invitation. He wants to host a banquet for Young Master tonight in the Heaven-grade room of the Rouge Pavilion. Will Young Master go?"

At this moment, Uncle Fu's voice sounded.

In an instant, the image of Yan Wushuang flashed through Gao Yang's mind.

This Yan Wushuang, not taking the initiative to visit?

Hearing this, Gao Tianlong and Gao Feng were also full of shock.

The First Imperial Prince of Zhao Kingdom had just left, and now the Second Imperial Prince of Yan Kingdom had sent an invitation. Gao Yang's current status was simply pivotal!

Every word and action influenced the situation of a country!

Gao Yang took a deep breath, his eyes indifferent, and he made an evaluation, "This Yan Wushuang is not authentic!"

Gao Feng's eyes widened, "The Second Imperial Prince of Yan Kingdom specifically sent someone to deliver an invitation, how is this not authentic?"

Gao Yang stared at Gao Feng and explained.

"The Prince of Yan sent an invitation but didn't take the initiative to visit; this clearly shows he doesn't want to send a gift!"

"But it's also good… this way, child will have no psychological burden when scamming him!"

"This time, child must let him know the consequences of not sending a gift!"

Gao Yang said viciously.

Gao Feng: "…"

Gao Tianlong: "…"

Gao Feng was speechless. The First Imperial Prince of Zhao Kingdom had sent plenty of gifts, but his outcome didn't seem much better.

"This Second Imperial Prince of Yan Kingdom is not like that Zhao Yuheng. When facing this person, don't be too clever and end up with a blunder!" Gao Tianlong warned.

"Has Grandfather heard the story of Li Shimin, the General of the Heavenly Strategy of Great Tang, in the last two days?"

Gao Yang suddenly asked.

Gao Tianlong frowned first, then said: "Old man has heard some rumors. This Li Shimin is rebellious, killed his brother and imprisoned his father, finally ascending to the throne and creating the prosperous age of Great Tang. This story is indeed wonderful, but its content is also criticized by scholars. What's wrong?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Gao Yang's face.

This smile startled Gao Tianlong, and he widened his eyes, "Could it be that this is also your doing?"

"The Second Imperial Prince doesn't care for women but likes storytelling. Child has put a lot of effort into this. Besides being a bit worse in ability than Li Shimin, the Prince of Yan is now only missing the killing of his brother and imprisonment of his father."

"This link, child will naturally help him with!"

Once these words were out.

Gao Feng's tiger body shook, and his pupils constricted.

But it wasn't Gao Yang's scheme against the Second Imperial Prince of Yan Kingdom, but a sentence in the story Gao Yang wrote.

"Killing his brother and imprisoning his father!"

"This wicked son…"

Gao Feng said nothing on the surface, but his heart was a bit panicked.

In the distance,

Gao Changwen: "Hee hee."

Gao Changwen, in a long robe, came running from afar, his face full of smiles.

But when he heard this conversation, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Gao Changwen: "Not hee hee."

Killing brother and imprisoning father?

Brother?

But Gao Yang knew nothing of all this.

On the contrary, he said to himself, "And besides this scheme, child has also prepared a plan for Great Yan. Since you don't send a gift, then child really won't be polite."

But when Gao Yang turned his head, he saw that everyone's eyes were focused on his face.

Gao Feng and Gao Tianlong's expressions were not good, and Lady Li looked away.

As for Gao Changwen not far away, he sat down on the ground.

"Grandfather, Father, Changwen, what are these expressions?" ===== CHAPTER 582 =====
