After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

Chapter 66

The person who came was the little maid whom I hadn't seen for a long time—Wang Gong'er!

When Li Lingyue saw her, the little girl's face was sallow, her eye bags were swollen, and her hair was in a messy bun. She must have suffered a lot on the way after running around for several days.

"My servant pays homage to the princess!" Wang Gong'er happily came to Li Lingyue and bowed to greet her.

Li Lingyue raised her hand, took Wang Gong'er aside, and went straight to the point: "Have you done everything the princess asked you to do?"

Wang Gong'er nodded and said: "Back to the princess, this servant will tell the empress what you think. The empress appreciates the princess's kind deeds very much, and specially ordered Yang Gonggong, Zhao Shi, and the Minister of the Household Department to deal with the princess's property with full authority. All the treasures in the princess' warehouse are sold. In the end, the total gold was 620 nine taels, and at present, 110 carts of copper coins have been exchanged, and the remaining gold of [-] nine taels is still in deposit at the household department!"

"Why not exchange them all into copper coins?" Li Lingyue asked puzzled.

Wang Gong'er stuck out her tongue and explained: "The princess doesn't know. The amount of copper coins you exchanged is huge. The money supervisor in the capital didn't have time to cast it. The household department took the princess's gold and took out all the copper coins that could be obtained from the money bank. The officials of the household department went to the merchants to exchange them, and finally got together [-] carts!"

"Is it such an exaggeration? Are the things in my warehouse really that valuable?"

"Of course!" Wang Gong'er replied with certainty: "Except for the calligraphy and paintings of famous people, everything that can be sold was sold. It took a whole day just to count and carry."

"Since [-] cars have been exchanged, how will my mother distribute them?"

"Your Majesty, according to the disaster situation in the six prefectures, [-] chariots will be allocated to Fuzhou, and the remaining [-] chariots will be allocated to the other five prefectures! All the money will be transported to the prefectures, and the princess will arrange it."

Li Lingyue nodded, and had no objection to Empress Wu's arrangement. As the capital of Guannei Road, Fuzhou is also a hard-hit area with a large population, so it is reasonable to divide it into [-] vehicles.

After briefly understanding the situation with Gong'er, Li Lingyue was full of anger, so he struck while the iron was hot, and became a money-spreader, trying to squander all his private money.

The war drum was sounded again on the city tower, and the neighing of war horses was heard five miles away from the east gate. The common people looked around in a daze, not knowing what happened.

"Drive! Drive!"

On the official road, heavily armed cavalry escorted one carriage after another and drove towards the east gate. There were two servants sitting in each carriage, and their backs were full of copper coins covered with linen. The team could not see at a glance. In the end, like a moving snake.

Li Lingyue once again faced the tens of thousands of people, and said loudly: "From today onwards, this princess will start a business here, and include migratory locusts as trading commodities. All the people of my Tang Dynasty can catch migratory locusts and trade with this princess. The purchase price of migratory locusts: [-] yuan! How much is there, how much does this princess charge!"

Li Lingyue's words were like a nuclear bomb falling on the crowd, and the people collectively exploded.

You must know that the purchase price of grain is only [-] yuan per bucket. The princess's operation is tantamount to raising the value of migratory locusts, equating migratory locusts with grain purchases, and giving the common people a way to generate income.

Li Lingyue is not fighting against insects, he is clearly prodigal!
"Isn't the princess crazy? The locusts are endless. How can there be so much money to buy them!"

"Shut up, the princess is not crazy, she is giving us a way to survive, she is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, please help us!"

"This old man has lived most of his life, and it's the first time he saw that pests are more expensive than food. It's really an eye-opener!"

"The eleven members of my family all go to the ground to catch insects every day, at least three to five stones. Haha, it's a fortune!"

Looking at the shocked, excited, and excited faces in the audience, Li Lingyue smiled in satisfaction.

She used real money to draw a big cake for the people to get rich. As long as they are willing to believe and have hope in life, then this cake will definitely come true.

Li Zhi pulled her aside and said anxiously: "Yue'er, you are crazy. Spending a lot of money to catch migratory locusts is like drinking poison to quench your thirst. There are so many migratory locusts. How can I get so much money to let you rush!"

Li Lingyue explained with a smile: "Aye is too worried. My daughter spent her own money, and absolutely did not embezzle a cent of the treasury!"

"That won't work either!" Li Zhi shook his head and sighed, "Can you collect so many migratory locusts?"

"Why can't it be collected!" Li Lingyue grabbed Li Zhi's hand, came to the side of the high platform, pointed to the people below and said:

"Did you see, Aye, they who were unloved a moment ago have become fanatical and longing now. My daughter just added some firewood to arouse their desire to survive. In fact, the common people are the biggest natural enemies of migratory locusts. As long as The people are united as one, so there is no need to worry about pests!"

Li Zhi was a little tempted by what he said. After thinking about it, he asked worriedly: "But you don't have that much money after all! Besides, how do you deal with collecting so many migratory locusts?"

Li Lingyue smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, my daughter has a plan!"

"Oh, let's hear it!" Li Zhi became very excited.

Li Lingyue shook her head, "Daughter let's keep it a secret, Aye will know when the time comes!"

As Li Zhiruo said, the locusts are overwhelming, and the amount of money spent will be astronomical.

But everything needs to be looked at dialectically. Li Lingyue combined the laws of insect reproduction in biology. After the first batch of adults are captured, large-scale reproduction can be effectively avoided.

Wait until the second batch of adults is harvested, then the third and fourth batches will decrease precipitously.

Because no matter how organisms reproduce, there will always be a growth cycle.

Before time travel, when Li Lingyue was traveling in Yunnan, the price of a fried locust was more expensive than pork and mutton!

I have also seen local people even raise locusts artificially, because locusts are high in protein, low in fat, good in taste, can be used as medicine, edible, and can be used as feed, so the supply is in short supply.

From ancient times to the present, no matter how powerful a species is, once it is endowed with economic value, it will soon be conquered by humans.

"Clatter!" Carloads of copper coins were dumped in the center of the field, and the cheers of the people were louder and louder.

There were more than 400 carts of copper coins, each of which weighed several hundred catties, and it took an hour just to dump these coins.

By the time the last cart was backed up, several mountains of money several feet high had risen in the center of the field.

"The eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

In front of the real money, the people dispelled the last trace of doubt. They were fanatical and didn't know how to express their kindness to the princess, so they knelt down again and shouted for the princess to be a thousand years old!
Faced with the support of tens of thousands of people, Li Lingyue's reputation reached a record high. She walked up to the stage again and waved to the people!

Sure enough, rich people can not only do whatever they want, but also buy people's hearts.

Thinking of 'buying people's hearts', Li Lingyue looked at Yang Kuo in the audience, only to see that the other party was still sitting upright, without any expression on his face, drinking tea by himself.

Seemingly aware of Li Lingyue's gaze, Yang Kuo turned his head to look at her. The two looked at each other, one old and one young, and at the same time showed meaningful smiles.

Hehe, old traitor, next, it's time to settle the score with you...
