Chapter 343, question

Pang Tong originally just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect this guy to be so disrespectful, so he gave it a go.

What about Changxinhou?

So what if His Majesty favors me?

A big man never blames himself for his words.

"It's better for an old man to aim for a thousand miles than to be a thief with a crowing cock and a dog."

"I'm afraid that your inferior horse won't be able to run, but it will ruin your father's great reputation."

Obviously, they still recognized Guo Jia's achievements, especially after getting to know this man's comprehensive talents.

Zhuge Liang, who was on the sidelines, saw the two people getting more and more noisy and happy, and hurriedly advised: "If you two want to compete, you might as well learn from each other."

As a scholar, isn't it just ink that you compare with?

Pang Tong snorted lightly and turned away, indicating that he recognized this method of competition.

Although he focused on military tactics rather than poetry, it is not a problem to compare himself to a mediocre "second generation" son.

Guo Yi also clapped his hands and applauded. If Pang Tong wanted to compete with him in military deduction, he would be afraid.

Bishi, haha, I have the blessings of countless talented people for two thousand years behind me.

"Pang Xiaoji, do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare?"

"good!"

Just like that, the two hit it off.

Yang Xiu's voice came at the right time.

"I invite you all to come here today. No matter the state affairs, I will only talk about romance. Therefore, I hope that all of you can speak freely and put down your pen to the best of your ability."

A disciple from an aristocratic family shouted: "Since we are talking about poetic talent, there must be some luck, right?"

"Yes, if there is no bet, I'm afraid you won't go all out."

"Brother Yang, you have to bring out some real treasures."

This statement instantly attracted everyone's agreement. Small gambling is a pleasure, and competitions with stakes can always arouse people's desire to win or lose.

Yang Xiu smiled and said, "This is natural."

After speaking, he waved his hand.

Then, with everyone watching, a Yang Mansion maid walked to the center of the banquet holding a tray.

It was covered with a piece of red cloth, but you could still vaguely see from the outline that it was a bottle-like item.

Guo Yi couldn't help but be curious, could it be some kind of ancient bronze?

"Brother Yang, stop being so pretentious and lift up this red cloth."

"I want to see what priceless thing it is."

"Yang's action is naturally not ordinary."

Everyone started making noises again. Mysterious things always make people curious. This piece of red cloth is like a hijab on the bride's head. They always want to know what kind of beauty she looks like under the red cloth.

At this moment, Guo Yi suddenly noticed that Zhao Ling'er on the side lowered his head, as if he was suppressing a smile.

He couldn't help but ask: "Ling'er knows what this is?"

Zhao Ling'er said softly: "Of course, because this is a treasure created by the Zhen family. Speaking of which, this object is also related to my brother."

"What?"

"Glazed moon bottle."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yang Xiu uncovering the red cloth, and the luminous vase shone brightly in the night, which was particularly eye-catching.

Of course, this is a treasure in other people's eyes, but Guo Yi doesn't think so.

Isn't this just a glass bottle?

That is to say, if the workmanship is more exquisite and some means of making it shine are added, it cannot be said to be priceless.

However, he soon realized that times have changed, and the way to define value is naturally different.

Things are rare and valuable. As far as he knows, glass has not yet been born in this era. This kind of fine workmanship is indeed a treasure.

"Ms. Zhen, you really know how to make money."

Guo Yi finally understood that Zhen had already mastered the manufacturing process, otherwise she would not be able to make such a fine glass bottle.

The reason why it has not been launched and why there is no large-scale mass production must be to earn this first pot of gold.

As the saying goes, rarer things are more valuable.

Zhao Ling'er smiled and said, "Brother, your conscience won't hurt when you say these words?"

This tone, which does not belong to this world, has been integrated into the times under the influence of Guo Jia.

Hearing this familiar tone, Guo Yi felt filled with emotion. Butterfly wings are indeed influential.

But, this little girl actually plays tricks on future generations. Isn’t it too young?

Guo Yi sighed: "Of course my conscience won't hurt, because this heart has been lost long ago."

Although Zhao Ling'er guessed that there was something in his words, she still couldn't restrain her curiosity and asked, "Where did you lose your brother's heart?"

"In your heart."

Hmm.

Zhao Ling'er was stunned. She only learned the previous sentence and didn't know how to decipher it when her opponent responded. She was speechless for a moment.

Guo Yi stopped and said with a smile: "But thanks to Ling'er's reminder, I remembered that I have shares in Zhen's Trading Company."

Thinking of this, he began to support this way of making money.

In the words of later generations, this is not called making black money, but robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Earn money from aristocratic families through such luxury goods, and then use the money to relieve the common people.

This is called "the people's fat and the people's anointing, but also for the people."

Zhao Ling'er muttered: "You also know that the reason why my uncle took such good care of Zhen's Trading Company back then was because you, the Guo Family, also had a share."

"I seem to have shares in Mi's company."

Guo Yi had a strange look on his face. If he thought about it carefully, he was a shareholder of the two most powerful merchants in the Han Dynasty, the Zhen family and the Mi family.

So I sighed again, reincarnation is a technical job, and I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth in this life.

"That's right, so my uncle taught them how to make cement. Now it's a big man's building, and they have taken over all the roads."

It is not difficult to tell that Zhao Linger is resentful about this matter. She has been in business for so long, and she certainly knows how beneficial it is to monopolize an industry.

Guo Yi shook his head and said: "This situation will not last long. Even if His Majesty trusts the Mi family, he will not let them monopolize the construction industry."

He firmly believed that no monarch would ever see his ministers and their families dominate. Liu Bei could make the Mi family and the Zhen family glorious, but he would not let them monopolize the entire business.

In my memory, it seems that the imperial court has just issued a certain decree with the purpose of restricting monopoly.

And during this period, Liu Bei began to support other trading firms.

In short, there is a saying, you can be the first, but you cannot monopolize it.

Zhao Ling'er asked in surprise: "Brother, does he also care about business matters?"

The brother in her impression was not interested in national affairs, let alone business.

"Although I'm not interested, I am still half a businessman after all, so I still need to understand what I should know."

Guo Yi didn't want to say anything for fear of revealing his secret.

"Brother, Miss Zhao, what are you talking about?"

Seeing the two of them whispering, Guo Xian couldn't help but remind him that after all, Yang Xiu had already prepared a question, and his brother had made a bet with Pang Tong.

"Recently, the peach blossoms in my garden are in full bloom, so I chose [Flower] as the theme."

"But if it's just that, it would be too simple. Therefore, the poem should not only have the meaning of praising flowers, but also point out emotions. What do you think?"
