Chapter 184: Management Talents
Gao Ming ate quickly, and it only took a cup of tea to solve all the dishes on the table, and only after the palace maids took away the leftovers, Li Shimin opened his mouth again.
"Gao Ming, you should know more about Wu Mei than me, why do you want to keep her?"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming suddenly smiled slightly, then took out a belly pocket from his arms and wiped his mouth.
"I also thought about this question before, but today I think clearly, in fact, Wu Mei is not a threat to us now, first of all, old man, you will no longer eat Jindan, and naturally you will not be poisoned by Jindan, as long as you live well, what else is there to be afraid of?"
Although he knew that Gao Ming was patting on the back, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile on his face.
"That's nature, I'm the son of the Tang Dynasty, how can I be afraid of a mere woman?"
Looking at Li Shimin, who was proud, Gao Ming also laughed.
"That's it, and with the old man's body, it should be no problem to live for another twenty or thirty years, and when you can't do it, let your grandson take your place, and we will escort you when the time comes, not to mention a martial artist, even if there are ten or eight more, it won't be in the way!"
Hearing Gao Ming's bold words, Li Shimin immediately nodded with satisfaction, but he quickly found the bug in Gao Ming's words, so he immediately frowned.
"Why is it my grandson who takes my place and not you?"
As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming suddenly laughed again.
"Because I can't get up in the morning, and I don't like to review the folds or anything, it's too troublesome!"
“……”
Can't get up in the morning? Don't like grading? What a powerful reason!
Thinking that he had to get up before dawn every morning to go to the court, and after the next court, he had to deal with the mountains of government affairs, but Gao Ming slept until he woke up naturally every day, and then wandered around comfortably, Li Shimin suddenly felt a deep sense of frustration.
"It seems that Gao Ming, this kid is much more comfortable than I have ever been!"
Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately shook his head.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for the time being, you give me the truth first, can you really handle Wu Mei's matter? The stakes are too high for anything to go wrong. ”
Looking at Li Shimin's serious appearance, Gao Ming also changed his hippie smile just now and nodded seriously.
"Of course, I can take care of this, I promise!"
Seeing that Gao Ming was so confident, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, that's fine, but I'd like to know why you're so sure?"
As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming laughed.
"That's a good question, but it's mostly about hatred!"
Speaking of this, Gao Ming stretched out a finger towards Li Shimin.
"I've already learned about Wu Mei's situation before, the main reason why she is so keen on power is that she was mistreated by her two half-brothers, so she wants to take revenge, as long as I help her fulfill this wish, she can't thank me too late, how can she do it against me?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin immediately frowned.
"It's as simple as that? Didn't you say that she would mess with my Datang in the future? Could it be to take revenge on Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang? ”
As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming laughed again.
"That's just one of the reasons, and the other reason is still in you, old man."
"What? Does this have anything to do with me? ”
Looking at Li Shimin, who was surprised, Gao Ming immediately nodded.
"Of course it matters, you think, after Wu Mei entered the palace, you have been snubbing her, you neither want to kill her, nor sleep with her, just throw her in the palace to consume, and wait until you close your eyes and kick your legs, you are a hundred, but now Wu Mei has to accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, and when she is old, she has not revenge, and she has not found happiness, do you think she should hate you?"
“……”
After listening to Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin frowned and stopped talking, and the whole person suddenly fell into thought, and sighed after a long time.
"Alas, maybe what you said is right, forget it, I won't ask about this anymore, you can do whatever you think is suitable!"
Speaking of this, Li Shimin stood up, and then took out a white handkerchief from his arms and stuffed it into Gao Ming's hand.
"In the future, wipe your mouth with this after dinner, and besides, you don't feel ashamed to carry a woman's belly pocket in your arms, I still feel ashamed!"
After speaking, Li Shimin no longer paid attention to Gao Ming, and directly entered the imperial study, and then closed the door with a "bang".
Looking at the closed door of the imperial study, Gao Ming immediately shrugged his shoulders, and then hummed a little song and went back to the East Palace, I don't know if he listened to Li Shimin's words just now.
The next day, when Gao Ming came to the Datang Royal Club again, he found that there was an additional notice board in the club, on which several new regulations were written.
"First: On the first and fifteenth day of each month, only those who hold gold and silver medals can enter the Tang Royal Club, and others are not allowed to enter."
"Second: Those who spend more than ten yuan in the Tang Dynasty Royal Club can get a pot of palace tea and a plate of palace cakes for free."
"Third: In the Tang Royal Club, you are not allowed to ask about other people's official positions, nor can you reveal your own official positions."
Seeing these three new regulations, Gao Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.
Gao Ming didn't have to guess to know that these three rules must have been made by Wu Mei, but what made him happy was not this, but the role played by the regulations in the past three days.
The first regulation seems to be a bit arrogant, but it has captured the hearts of those princes, princesses and important ministers of the court, and others will not be dissatisfied with this regulation, because in this hierarchical society, everyone thinks that this is very normal.
If the first one raises the level of the club again to a certain extent, then the second one is a serious promotional method.
You must know that Gao Ming has already set a rule from the beginning, except for the princes and princesses who hold gold medals, everyone else has to pay for food and drink, but now Wu Mei has actually come up with such a new rule, as long as you can spend ten yuan, you can get a pot of palace tea and a plate of palace cakes for free.
For people who can often go in and out of the royal club, a pot of palace tea and a plate of palace cakes are not expensive, but for this "free" face, someone will definitely pay for it.
And there is also a situation, that is, when someone has already spent ** money, he knows that as long as he spends the same money, he can get a pot of palace tea and a plate of palace cakes for free, so he has a great chance of paying this money.
In this way, the daily income of the Datang Royal Club will basically rise by one or two layers, and according to the daily income of the Royal Club today, it can earn about 200 yuan more per day, which is not a small amount!
In fact, what surprised Gao Ming the most was not these two, but the third.
"In the Tang Royal Club, you are not allowed to ask about other people's official positions, nor can you reveal your own official positions."
This article is obviously not aimed at court officials, because those court officials basically know each other, especially those who are in high and powerful positions, how can other officials not know them?
Since it is not aimed at the officials of the imperial court, the result is obvious, the provisions of Article 3 are aimed at the merchants who come in with wooden signs!
Since the last time Gao Ming asked people to auction wooden cards every day, except for Luo Xun who was lucky to come in on the first day, the merchants who came in after that were basically in Chang'an City.
The reason is simple, because businessmen have money.
Nowadays, the wooden plaques auctioned by the royal club are basically not less than 200 yuan, and the highest one has been sold for more than 400 yuan, and the people who can make so much money can fill the face of the royal club, in the entire Tang Dynasty, there is no one else except businessmen.
Businessmen are not short of money, they lack face and status, and being able to enter the Tang Royal Club, a place known as the "Little Palace", is undoubtedly very face-saving, which makes many businessmen happy.
For them, it is worth spending a few hundred dollars to live in the world for a long time.
However, this also has certain drawbacks, because the Tang Royal Club is based on the royal family and officials, and the entry of businessmen will naturally make those officials uncomfortable.
Especially when they found a fresh face and went to greet each other with great interest, only to find that the other party was not an official, but a businessman with the lowest status in Datang, the attitude of these officials was definitely not good.
The merchants spent money to come in and see the world, but they were looked down upon by some officials, which must have dealt a blow to their enthusiasm, so that maybe they would not come next time, and if this point was not dealt with properly, it would undoubtedly reduce a lot of income from the royal clubhouse.
Wu Mei saw this, so she added this article, so that everyone can neither ask about other people's official positions, nor reveal their official positions, as long as businessmen do not deliberately reveal their identities, then they will not be given a cold reception, so the probability of repeat customers is high.
Thinking of this, Gao Ming was suddenly a little surprised.
"Wu Mei, this woman is really not simple!"
Immediately, Gao Ming called Yun'er over, and then pointed to the notice board and commanded her.
"You ask the carpenters to get two more of this notice board, don't write the words on it with charcoal, just write them with gold paint, and put two inside the clubhouse and one outside the door when the time comes!"
"Yes!"
After instructing Yun'er, Gao Ming began to look for Wu Mei's figure in the clubhouse, and this time Wu Mei did what Gao Ming wanted, so Gao Ming planned to praise her.
However, after Gao Ming turned around upstairs and downstairs, he still didn't find Wu Mei, so he had to walk towards the backyard.
The two hundred guards guarding the gate of the backyard saw Gao Ming coming, and hurriedly saluted him.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Excuse me, have you seen Wu Mei?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, one of them immediately pointed to the courtyard on the right.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the military steward went to the winery."
After getting the answer he wanted, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.
"Well, I see, you guys keep standing guard!"
"Yes!"
Soon, Gao Ming came to the courtyard on the far right, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Gao Ming heard Wu Mei's voice coming from inside.
"Brewing this palace wine is a royal job, you remember to keep your mouth shut, if it accidentally flows out, none of your family wants to live, but as long as you do it with your heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't treat you badly, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Hearing the movement inside, Gao Ming, who was outside the door, couldn't help laughing.
"Well, I still know how to combine grace and power, yes, it seems that I really didn't see the wrong person, this Wu Mei is really a very powerful management talent."
