Chapter 885 888. Method 2
Gu Wenheng looked embarrassed, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I dare not hide it from the emperor. All the shops under my wife have been transferred, leaving only the restaurant and the escort agency."
Hua Shunming just remembered this incident, and that day, he asked the prince for help.
They were even more displeased with Bai Jinglie and the others who were causing the trouble, as it was they who had forced them to this point.
Otherwise, with the shop under Mrs. Gu's name, he would not have to worry about having no sales channels for these things.
"I heard about this, and the emperor helped you." Hua Shunming glanced at Gu Wenheng and said, "I've heard that Madam Gu has a golden hand. I wonder if she has any good ideas for these items?"
Gu Wenheng, "Replying to the Emperor, these are all exaggerated words from outsiders. My wife is a merchant by nature, but she is lucky and has a good recipe in her hand."
Now all the prescriptions have been transferred to Royal, otherwise so many shops would not have been transferred out.
Hua Shunming clenched his fist and cleared his throat, "... Madam Gu is righteous and has made great contributions to the Rong Dynasty. She deserves a reward!"
Gu Wenheng quickly replied, "On behalf of my wife, I would like to thank the Lord for His Grace. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long, long live the Emperor!!"
Hua Shunming: "..." Well, I have to reward you even if I don't want to...
"Stand up!" Hua Shunming continued, "Go back and discuss this with Madam Ling. I think she is more courageous than many people. If she can come up with a good solution, I will reward her handsomely."
Gu Wenheng looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty, my family is still in mourning. My wife is also in mourning at home, so I'm afraid there is no way to communicate with her for the time being."
Hua Shunming really didn't pay attention to this. "I have already taken away your official position, but Madam Gu didn't go to the capital with you?"
I just mentioned it casually just now. I thought that Madam Gu must have some special insights after so many years of doing business.
Gu Wenheng, "I am deeply in mourning and dare not leave without permission.
I will write a letter when I get back. If I can help Your Majesty out of this predicament, it will be her blessing.
I am afraid that women are too dull to handle this important task."
Hua Shunming said straightforwardly, "It doesn't matter. Even if I can't think of a good solution, I won't punish her. Otherwise, all the officials in the court will also be guilty."
Gu Wenheng repeatedly praised the emperor for his wisdom and finally managed to get through this hurdle.
As for whether the daughter-in-law can give advice or not, that will have to wait until the officials in the court discuss it before considering it.
If it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to involve Jin Qianqian. It seemed like he really had to use his brain to resolve this matter.
This morning
Hua Zhang asked the ministers to think of selling the treasures in the private treasury of the retired emperor within a short period of time, and they could not sell them at a low price.
Many court officials were shocked. They had originally thought of waiting until the retired emperor made the shipment and then letting their clan members rush to buy a few items. They thought the prices would not be high at that time and it would also help them save some wealth for their descendants.
Now the emperor seemed to see through their thoughts and raised this proposal in the court, which put them in a passive position.
Because everyone was holding this mentality of picking up bargains, even Hua Zhang had heard some rumors and did not want to suffer this loss.
The ministers in the court looked at each other, and no one stepped forward to speak.
Seeing that they were using this trick again, Hua Shunming directly asked, "Minister of Rites Liao Aiqing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Liao Weidong asked for help from the people around him, but found that everyone was avoiding his gaze. He then said, "Your Majesty, I don't have a good plan. We need to think about this matter carefully."
"Li Lai Fu, you speak." Hua Zhang glanced at him and clicked on the next one.
"Your Majesty, I think we can invite the imperial merchants to sell it to them at a certain price. I think these imperial merchants are willing to pay a high price for the sake of the country and the people."
Gu Wenheng glanced at him sideways. He never expected that this man was so ruthless. He wanted to use his power to oppress others as soon as he opened his mouth.
Hua Zhang looked at him deeply, "Does anyone else have other opinions?"
Everyone was silent...
Hua Zhang pointed out a few more, all of which were unrealistic or unfounded methods, which made him feel annoyed.
He now understood his father a little. These people usually fought each other for tiny gains, but now that it was their turn, they all pushed the issue away.
Turning to look at Gu Wenheng who had been silent, Hua Zhang did not ask.
Gu Wenheng: "..." Today I am just here to make some fun...
The entire hour-long court meeting ended in such a hasty manner.
Hua Zhang did not let everyone leave, but instead asked several ministers to stay.
Hua Zhang, "If there is really no other way, just as Li Laifu said, invite all the wealthy businessmen in the world, who will handle this matter?"
This is a good job. Liao Weidong's eyes lit up. "I am willing to help Your Majesty."
Except for Gu Wenheng and Yu Ligao who did not move, everyone else stepped forward to petition.
Hua Zhang looked at Gu Wenheng at this time, "My dear Gu, you didn't say a word in the court today. Do you have any other opinions?"
Gu Wenheng said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan, but it still needs the approval of Your Majesty and the Emperor Emeritus."
Seeing that he was keeping the secret at this moment, the other adults frowned.
It turns out that they had just been discussing things in the court for so long, and this person was just watching from the side.
Gu Wenheng looked at the adults and said, "Speaking of which, this is also a hint of inspiration that you adults just gave me. Whether it will succeed or not, it is up to His Majesty and the Emperor to decide."
"Oh," Hua Zhang was now interested, "Minister Gu, please tell us first."
Gu Wenheng: "This matter still needs the permission of the Grand Emperor and His Majesty..."
…
&
On the right side of the Noon Gate, a large group of craftsmen were working day and night. The people passing by were very confused. Why did they need to rebuild the wall at the entrance of this majestic palace?
This is inappropriate and doesn't it undermine the dignity of the imperial palace?
They didn't have long to wonder before a transparent glass house slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
These days, when people have nothing to do, they come here to take a look, trying to figure out what the significance of this palace is.
This row of glass houses, which is over a thousand meters long, occupies the right side of the Meridian Gate. It is quite interesting to see so many houses made up of expensive glass.
In just five days, with the cooperation of carpenters and plasterers, the glass house was completed.
A group of palace maids and eunuchs were busy cleaning inside, and a group of guards were pulling a long red cloth to wrap up the place.
"What on earth is this for?" Everyone had doubts in their hearts, but no one dared to make a noise at the palace gate. They just asked the people around them in a low voice, but unfortunately no one could give them an answer.
Gu Wenheng brought a group of guards and placed a series of treasures in the cave under the cover of night, and asked people to write down the rarity of each treasure.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
Gu Wenheng hurried into the palace with his detailed plan. The emperor and his minister discussed for a long time in the study. When the bell for court rang, they went to the Qinzheng Hall together.
Gu Wenheng stayed in the palace last night, which had already been discovered by spies from various families. As soon as he entered the palace, he received many subtle looks.
