Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Another voice in the crowd shouted.

"Prince Chan, we heard from Prince Cheng that the Sanling Zhuanggu Pills you developed have miraculous effects in strengthening yang, curing chronic diseases, and nourishing yin and tonifying yang. They are sold for one thousand taels of gold each, so we all want to buy them!"

"Damn it! This old guy Cheng Wang actually helped me promote the medicine like this! It also has miraculous aphrodisiac effects! I really am..." Gu Chan was stunned when she heard it and started to curse angrily.

After all this trouble, it turns out that this was all trouble caused by King Cheng!

Shen Yang put his mouth close to her ear and whispered, "Second Uncle, these are all smart people. They can't flatter you openly, so they use this method to buy medicine from you and give you money. It's difficult for others to gossip about you."

"So what do you think, should we accept the money that is delivered to our door or not?" Gu Chan asked in a low voice.

"Of course we can't accept it, otherwise what's the difference between this and making money?" Shen Yang shook his head.

Gu Chan said with a sly smile, "Then I have a different opinion from you."

"Ah?" Shen Yang was dumbfounded.

Gu Chan winked at him, then immediately reached into the bag on her waist and took out the red medicine bottle containing Sanling Zhuanggu Pills. She said overjoyed, "Okay, since you all want to buy the medicine, I'll sell it to you. But let me make it clear first, I only accept gold notes, not cash."

"Lord Chan, we are all ready."

"Yes! We prepared one thousand taels of gold notes before we came."

“Sell it to us now!”

Everyone shouted one after another, and they were all eager to please Gu Chan.

Gu Chan accepted all the medicines that came her way and told Shen Yang to collect the gold notes. She poured out one pill from the bottle and sold them one by one.

After a while, her bottle of dozens of Sanling Zhuanggu Pills was sold out, and a small number of people didn't buy any at all.

Gu Chan put the empty medicine bottle back into her bag and said, "My Lords, today we only have this bottle of medicine. It's sold out. If you bought it, go home and try it out. If you didn't buy it, you can come back another day."

"Prince Chan, can we make a reservation? Next time when the medicine is available, give it to us first!" an official shouted.

"Sure, just pay the money and register." Gu Chan said readily.

Those who didn't buy the Sanling Zhuanggu Pills came forward to give their gold notes and register their names.

After everyone had registered and left, Gu Chan looked back and saw that behind her were five large boxes full of gold notes, worth tens of thousands of taels of gold, which was really tempting.

At this time, the imperial guard who came to deliver the oral order walked up to Gu Chan and said, "Prince Chan, the Crown Prince asked me to deliver the oral order to you."

"If you have to fart, do it quickly. I'm still busy!" Gu Chan said unhappily.

The palace guards stood there dumbfounded, shocked by Gu Chan's bold attitude.

Gu Chan casually took out a gold note of 100 taels from the box, stuffed it into his arms, and said with a wry smile, "This is a reward for you. This is a secret between you and me. Just tell me what you want to say, and I won't bow."

"The Crown Prince has summoned you to the palace to meet the Queen Mother. You must be careful when you go there. After all, you are taking over the Ministry of War, and I have reported the matter to him truthfully." The palace guard put his mouth close to Gu Chan's ear and said.

"I see. Did the prince say when he will go?" Gu Chan asked.

The palace guard shook his head and said, "That's not what I said."

"Okay, you go back and tell the prince that I'm busy counting money and can't go for the time being. I'll go to pay my respects to the empress dowager in the evening." Gu Chan said with a grin.

The palace guard nodded respectfully, then he left as Gu Chan instructed and returned to the palace to report.

Shen Yang was standing aside, dumbfounded, and said in disbelief, "Second Uncle, you are really amazing! You can even handle the prince's personal guard? I really admire you."

"Nonsense, money makes the world go round. He has received so many benefits from me, how can he not do something for me?" Gu Chan said proudly.

After saying that, she called a few servants over and asked them to carry all five boxes of gold bills outside the door into the lobby in the front yard.

When Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua saw the five big boxes of gold bills, their eyes lit up and they couldn't let go!

Gu Chan said shrewdly, "Grandpa and grandma, you can keep one of these five boxes of gold notes as your private money, and I have other uses for the other four boxes."

"I didn't expect it! It turns out that being a prince in Kyoto can make so much money. If the prince doesn't want to deal with you, then it would be nice to stay here and be a prince and make a lot of money." Zhang Wanshan said with a laugh.

"Gu Chan, aren't you afraid that the prince will say that you are taking advantage of the opportunity to make money?" Ding Meihua reminded.

Gu Chan comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry about this. I have my own way."

After that, she looked at Shen Yang and said, "Come with me to deliver the gold."

"Ah?" Shen Yang was dumbfounded.

Gu Chan ignored him and immediately ordered the servants in the mansion to prepare two carriages and move the remaining four boxes of gold notes into the carriages. Then she took Shen Yang and the four boxes of gold notes and rushed to the Dragon and Phoenix Tower in Kyoto.

At noon, Kyoto suddenly became lively.

Countless civilians swarmed to the outside of the Dragon and Phoenix Tower, blocking the street outside.

Gu Chan stood in the corridor on the top floor and shouted down, "Excuse me, how many legs does a chicken have?"

"Two legs." The crowd below shouted.

"Everyone who answered correctly will get a prize." Gu Chan said with a laugh.

After she finished speaking, she picked up the big box beside her, which contained small change, and scattered it downstairs.

The common people standing downstairs all happily reached out to take the money and were extremely excited.

Shen Yang and the many wealthy young men and women sitting in the poetry hall were all dumbfounded and shocked by Gu Chan's chivalrous behavior.

Gu Chan threw money down while saying to Shen Yang, "Don't just stand there! Go find the owner of the Dragon and Phoenix Tower and exchange it for small change. There are still three boxes of gold notes here! No matter what, we have to deliver them all before dark."

"Second uncle, you...this..." Shen Yang's face was stiff, not knowing what to say.

He had seen people giving money, but he had never seen anyone giving money like Gu Chan did!

Gu Chan shouted to the people below, "Everyone, don't rush. Today is a quiz with prizes. If you answer my questions correctly, I will sprinkle silver coins down. Everyone will get a share."

"Prince Chan is such a good prince. He has done this for us common people. I am so touched."

"Yes! I was so moved that I cried."

"Lord Chan, you must be well, otherwise we will all be unable to sleep or eat well."

The people below were so moved by Gu Chan that they raised their heads and shouted, some even cried out loud, and kept wiping the tears of emotion from their eyes with their hands.

"Don't worry, everyone. As long as I'm in Kyoto, I won't let the people go hungry." Gu Chan said as he threw money down.

As the common people picked up the items, they were deeply moved by her and they all praised her highly.
