Chapter 555: The Prison State (Part II)
()
After Gao Ming left the palace, he did not stay on the road, but went straight to the headquarters of the Royal Business Alliance on Suzaku Street.
Located on Zhuque Street near the south gate of Chang'an, the Royal Chamber of Commerce was originally only the size of an ordinary restaurant, but after the approval of the imperial court and a year of development, it has now become an existence like a yamen.
Nowadays, as long as there is a dispute between merchants in the sale or sale, or a conflict between merchants, the county government and the Wuhou Yamen in Chang'an will take the initiative to transfer the case to the Tang Royal Business Alliance, which will be fully disposed of by the Royal Business Alliance.
Because of this, Wu Mei, as the steward of the Royal Business Alliance appointed by Gao Ming himself, has gradually become well-known to everyone, and now even many small officials will take the initiative to salute her when they see Wu Mei and call her "Master Wu".
Wu Mei also enjoys this kind of life, in the days when Gao Ming is not around, even if there is nothing to do, she likes to stay in the Royal Business Alliance, because it makes her feel very fulfilled.
Although the Royal Business Alliance is getting bigger and bigger now, because of Zhu Ming, Chen Yu, Zhao Bo and others, she doesn't have much to do, the main thing is to make the final decision.
Therefore, since the end of the last beauty pageant, Wu Mei has once again resumed her leisure, but fortunately, with Zheng Liwan's company, she is not bored.
For Zheng Liwan, Wu Mei actually sympathized with her in her heart.
In Wu Mei's opinion, although she has suffered a lot, but after meeting Gao Ming, she is bitter, because Gao Ming not only dotes on her, but also entrusts her with important tasks, which is the happiest thing in her opinion.
But Zheng Liwan is different.
Because she fell into Li Shimin's "peach" incident, she was delayed for more than ten years in vain, even if Gao Ming accepted her now, but at her current age, Wu Mei felt that she could not pose any threat to herself.
"Sister Liwan is ten years older than me, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can accept her, so what else do I have to worry about?"
Thinking of this, she immediately laughed out loud.
Just as she was smiling happily, a familiar voice rang out next to her.
"Yo, what do you want to do? Why are you smiling so happily, let me be happy when you say it? ”
Hearing this voice, Wu Mei looked up, and suddenly, a familiar smiling face appeared in front of her, looking at this familiar face, Wu Mei's eyes suddenly widened, and her face was full of joy for a moment.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you here?"
With that, she immediately stood up from her position, then walked out and bowed to Gao Ming.
"Mei Niang has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Looking at Wu Mei, who was bowing down to him, Gao Ming suddenly smiled slightly, and stretched her to help her up.
"Okay, you're not polite with me, you haven't answered the question I asked you just now, what were you laughing at just now? Could it be that you met a beautiful man on the road? ”
Wu Mei also knew that Gao Ming was joking with her, she immediately pursed her mouth, and then glanced at Gao Ming angrily.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made fun of Mei Niang again, since I met Your Royal Highness, there is no man in the world who has been in Mei Niang's eyes!"
"Hahahaha......"
Hearing Wu Mei's words, Gao Ming immediately hugged her and laughed.
"You little girl is really getting better at talking, this little mouth is so sweet, it's like smearing honey, come, let the master taste it, is it really smeared with honey."
Saying that, Gao Ming pouted and leaned over, and when he saw this scene, Wu Mei immediately pushed him away with a smile.
"Hehe, Your Highness is not serious again, wait a minute, Mei Niang will make you a pot of tea!"
With that, Wu Mei hurriedly left the main hall, and soon came over with a cup of tea.
"Your Highness, please drink tea!"
"Hmm!"
Gao Ming agreed, then took the tea cup from Wu Mei, and brought it to his mouth to take a sip, and then nodded towards Wu Mei.
"Good tea!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wu Mei's face showed a bright smile again, and while she was smiling, she came behind Gao Ming and gently massaged his shoulders.
"Your Highness is here this time, but is there anything important that Wu Mei needs to do?"
"Hmm!" As soon as Wu Mei's words fell, Gao Ming immediately nodded: "This matter is indeed only for you, so I immediately came to you, how about it, are you happy?" ”
Speaking of this, Gao Ming grabbed her little delivery and kissed her mouth.
Feeling the warm touch from her back, Wu Mei only felt trembling all over, as if she was electrocuted, she quickly pulled it back, and then lowered her head with a red face.
"Your Highness, you love Mei Niang so much, Mei Niang is really happy, but it's broad daylight now, and if you're here, it's not good if you're seen...... Or? Let's go back to Hibiscus Garden......"
At the end, Wu Mei's voice was already as thin as a mosquito, if it weren't for Gao Ming beside her, she might not have heard it.
Seeing her unusually shy appearance, Gao Ming was stunned at first, and after reacting, he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
"Uh...... Mei Niang, do you think that I came here to have a fight with you, right? Am I that kind of person in your eyes? ”
Speaking of this, Gao Ming took out a drawing directly from his arms and opened it in front of Wu Mei before nodding at her.
"Mei Niang, look, this is a new plow designed by me, the name is Quyuan plow, this kind of plow is much better than the one used by our people in the Tang Dynasty now, in fact, the purpose of my visit this time is for this!"
Looking at the drawings that Gao Ming put on the table, Wu Mei suddenly lowered her head and looked at it carefully, and then looked up at Gao Ming again.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean, do you plan to let Mei Niang make some twists and plows according to this drawing, and then sell them to the people?"
Speaking of this, Wu Mei's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Your Highness, this idea is really good, now there are at least one million people in my Datang, as long as half of them buy it, it is also a lot of income!"
Looking at Wu Mei's excited face, Gao Ming shook his head again.
"No, the reason I gave you the drawings is not to let you sell the plow, but to let you sell the drawings of the plow to the merchants, so that they can make the Quyuan plow and sell it to the people of Datang, my purpose is not to make money, but to popularize the Quyuan plow to the entire Datang before next year, which is a major event related to the livelihood of my Datang people!"
"This ......"
Wu Mei obviously didn't expect Gao Ming to have such a grand goal, so he was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Gao Ming.
"It turns out that Your Highness, your plan is like this, Mei Niang is short-sighted, Your Highness, don't worry, this matter will be handed over to Mei Niang, Mei Niang promises, before next year, this Quyuan plough will definitely be popularized to the entire Tang Dynasty!"
"Haha, that's good!"
Seeing Wu Mei's sworn appearance, Gao Ming immediately laughed with satisfaction, pulled her into his arms while laughing, and then raised his eyebrows at her.
"Now that we're done with business, let's continue with the previous topic, or you go and close the door, let's just have a shot here, I think it should be very exciting, what do you think?"
Wu Mei: "(⊙⊙)..."
