Chapter 123 She is setting the rules! Setting the rules for everyone

Yun Zheng pointed at the fresh snacks that had just been served and said, "Your Majesty, these snacks are delicious. Come and try them."

Emperor: ...playing tricks on him?

The Third Prince had seen the world and was the calmest. "Jinyun, why sell the secret recipe? Sell the regional agency rights like you did last time. You can still make a lot of money and it will last a long time."

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Am I doing this to make money? I'm doing this to promote business prosperity and give people the opportunity to support their families. This is for the benefit of millions of people."

“This is called hiding wealth among the people.”

She was talking nonsense, but the Fourth Prince in the corner took her seriously. He immediately acted as if he had found evidence against her, and his expression became agitated. "Princess Jinyun, you are so ambitious! You are trying to win over the people."

Yun Zheng asked curiously, "Hey, why haven't you left yet? Aren't you going to be imprisoned?"

The Fourth Prince glared angrily, "It's not confinement, it's house arrest."

Completely different in nature!

Yun Zheng looked disgusted and said, "Same idea."

She turned her head impatiently and said, "Your Majesty, our pavilions and towers are so beautiful. Please help me write a few plaques. One plaque..."

The emperor was unhappy because he didn't hand over the money he earned. Is she still angry?

“No.”

"The fee is one hundred thousand taels..." Yun Zheng stopped abruptly. "Ah, you don't want to write? Forget it then."

"Sir Prime Minister, you are the head of all officials, your calligraphy must be very beautiful. Could you help me write a few plaques?"

The Prime Minister's eyes lit up, he could do this job!

Good days finally came to him.

The emperor was anxious. Could this girl stop panting when she spoke? "His handwriting is ugly, not presentable to others. It's far inferior to mine."

The Prime Minister still wanted to fight for it, "This old minister thinks we can give it a try."

One hundred thousand taels! What a generous sum! She is worthy of being Princess Jinyun.

The emperor said with a straight face, "No."

Everyone understood what he meant, but Yun Zheng pretended not to understand. "Then let the Nine Thousand Year Old Man come. His handwriting is beautiful."

Li Wuyang raised his right hand and said, "Okay, I'll prepare the writing."

The four treasures of the study were brought up, and just as Li Wuyang was about to pick up the brush, the emperor snatched it away. "His calligraphy has form but no spirit, it's a little lacking in quality."

"Forget it. Since you're so sincere, I'll write you twenty."

In this way, two million was obtained.

Yun Zheng's mouth twitched, "Ten is enough."

"Okay, then ten." The emperor immediately started painting on the spot, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch them away.

I have to say that he is quite talented and the names of each plaque are quite good.

Canglang Pavilion, Lanxingtai, Fucuixie, Zhenxiju, Qinyuan and so on.

Yun Zheng didn't waste any words and directly counted out a million silver notes and gave them all to the emperor.

The emperor was in a good mood. Not bad, not bad. He made money by his skills!

Everyone's eyes were red with envy. This money is too easy to make.

Princess Jinyun, come and see me, I can also earn this money!

Yun Zheng said, "Come here, find someone to make a plaque and hang it up."

The Fourth Prince looked at the Emperor, then at Yun Zheng, and frowned slightly. Why did he feel that these two people looked a bit alike? Was it an illusion?

Yun Zheng invited everyone to eat and drink and was very enthusiastic.

The emperor hesitated, "What about the remaining money? Are you not going to give it to me?"

However, he also wanted to save face, so he didn't want to ask directly.

Others don't want to cooperate with him either, it's too irritating.

The chief steward came forward and said, "Master, the plaques have been hung up."

"So soon?" Yun Zheng expressed satisfaction. "Then spread the word that my Yun Mansion will no longer be inhabited. It will be open to the public for entertainment and officially renamed Qin Garden. If anyone wants to hold a banquet at Qin Garden, please make a reservation in advance."

She quickly wrote a few lines, "There are three sizes: 6666 taels, 8888 taels, and 9999 taels. Here are the details. I'll show them to everyone."

Everyone was stunned, but I was doing one thing after another, one set after another, with a variety of tricks.

The emperor's mouth twitched, as if he had become Yun Zheng's tool to make money.

First it was Danxia porcelain, then plaques. She was clearly making money under his guise!

No, you have to pay him!

With the emperor's handwritten plaque as a gimmick, it immediately attracted the attention of dignitaries and businessmen, who made reservations one after another, some of which were already booked for two months later.

Yun Zheng received another large deposit and counted the money happily.

Everyone stared at her with different expressions.

The emperor was in a complicated mood. No wonder she was willing to pay such a high fee.

Make full use of its value and maximize it.

She never does business at a loss or is a profiteer.

"You're robbing me!"

Yun Zheng beamed. "It's consensual, how can it be considered robbery? Didn't you see how happy they were? They were so worried I'd regret it, they begged me to accept the deposit."

The emperor had nothing to say.

Yun Zheng suddenly pulled out a handful of banknotes and stuffed them into Li Wuyang's pockets. "Nine Thousand Years Old, this is for you."

Li Wuyang was flattered. Should he be left alone?

The emperor was unhappy, "Jinyun, didn't you say that you would only spend money on me?"

Yun Zheng said confidently, "I suddenly realized that what is paid for is worthless, and what is easily obtained is not cherished. One should have style in life."

Emperor: Why is she so vindictive?

He finally understood that from now on, if he wanted to get money from her, he would have to pay the corresponding price. There would be no such thing as getting something for nothing.

Li Wuyang smiled slightly, "Royal brother, I think Yun Zheng is right."

The emperor laughed angrily, "You..."

Yun Zheng suddenly chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I suddenly have a good idea to make money. Do you want it?"

The emperor's expression eased slightly. "Speak."

Yun Zheng lowered her voice and said, "I plan to select ten merchants from across the country every year and give them the character 'Fu' written by the emperor himself."

Everyone was stunned. How dare she speak?

The Prime Minister spit out tea, what was she talking about?

Using the Emperor's blessing character to whet the appetites of merchants? She is taking this opportunity to control the merchants of the world. Her ambition is clearly on the table.

Li Wuyang was silent. She was setting the rules! Setting the rules for everyone, including the emperor!

The emperor stared at her coldly, how bold!

The Fourth Prince immediately jumped out to accuse him, "No, you can't use your father's name to deceive others."

Yun Zheng held up a finger and said, "One hundred thousand taels."

The emperor was silent for a moment, but it wasn't impossible to discuss it. "Isn't ten too few?"

In fact, he also has advantages. With money, he can also consolidate his authority among the people.

But he couldn't show up, the royal family couldn't show up, and the Imperial Household Department couldn't show up, otherwise the imperial style would be lost.

You can't sell your calligraphy to merchants, otherwise you will be accused of competing with the people for profit.

Therefore, Yun Zheng is the most suitable person. She can do what the official cannot do and act as a middleman.

She is truly irreplaceable.

Yun Zheng smiled slightly, "Things are valuable because they are rare. We cannot disrupt the market price."

The emperor held up two fingers, "Two hundred thousand."

Two million taels of silver are enough to cover the palace's expenses for a year.

Yun Zheng pondered for a moment, "Deal."

The Third Prince's eyes sparkled. How could her brain be so sharp? She wanted it!

Seeing this, Yun Zheng glared at him and said, "You're not thinking of trading my head for yours? Dream on."

The third prince came over with a playful smile and said, "I'm just thinking about it. Can you help me find a way to make money?"

Yun Zheng marveled at his shamelessness. "We're not related at all, so I won't do it."

The third prince rolled his eyes and said, "How about I marry you?"

There was an uproar at the scene, Yun Zheng's eyes widened, what?

Li Wuyang's eyes turned a little colder. Is he worthy of it?

The emperor looked at his son coldly, "What did you say?"

The Third Prince shouted, "Father, please let her divorce immediately. I want her to be the Third Emperor's Consort."
