Chapter 611
His face was full of disbelief.
Gao Yang was clearly younger than him and had not yet reached his capping ceremony, yet why were these vicious strategies coming one after another? And he could even predict the subtle changes!
From the officials in the imperial court to the clans and common people in various regions, everything was within his planning.
This was no longer "looking three steps ahead for every one step taken," but rather burying a strategy that would erupt in the next ten, or even several decades!
It could even throw an entire country into chaos!
What kind of ability was this?
Cui Xinghe's expression was complex as he stared at Gao Yang's back.
From despising Gao Yang, to firmly believing he would not lose to Gao Yang, to struggling to chase Gao Yang's back.
Now he felt that he could barely even see Gao Yang's back anymore.
Shangguan Wan'er was also shocked, her expression complex.
Gao Yang's Green Sprouts Law had truly frightened her.
Even Wu Zhao, who was somewhat accustomed to Gao Yang, could not help but take a deep breath and say, "This Green Sprouts Law is destined to fail?"
Gao Yang straightened his waist, his face full of confidence, "Your Majesty, it is guaranteed to fail!"
"The resistance from the clans, the uneven capabilities of local officials, the forced promotion of the Green Sprouts Law to please superiors, and the lower-level officials forcing the people to borrow to complete the imperial court's tasks!"
"Add to that the factional strife in the imperial court and everyone's selfishness—it's like someone wearing tight clothing; if they take too large a step, they'll pull a muscle. The Green Sprouts Law is also destined to head toward failure!"
Wu Zhao's eyelids twitched, and she selectively ignored the "pull a muscle" comment.
On the contrary, she became somewhat invigorated.
According to what Gao Yang said, this Green Sprouts Law was a massive pit aimed at Yan Wushuang!
"This strategy is excellent. So, has Yan Wushuang taken the bait?"
Wu Zhao asked with some excitement.
"Not yet. I reckon it will take some time; I haven't told him the specific details of the Green Sprouts Law yet."
"The Prince of Yan thinks my price is too high and hasn't paid yet, but I imagine he will still agree," Gao Yang replied.
"Paid money???"
Wu Zhao instantly realized the key point in Gao Yang's words.
"Gao Qing, you accepted money?"
Gao Yang said with a straight face, "I only told the Prince of Yan about the harms of land annexation, but I have to charge some money for the method of resolution!"
"But this is definitely not because I am greedy for money; it is because things that cost money will make Yan Wushuang believe even more firmly that they are correct!"
"So I only asked for a little bit."
Wu Zhao: "..."
She stared at Gao Yang, coughed twice, and said, "How much is this 'little bit'?"
Gao Yang slowly held up three fingers, his face solemn!
"Three hundred taels!"
