Widow Ba stared at Ying Yun with wide eyes and said,"Don't you think you're going too far?”
Ying Yun said,"That's too much. When you earn money, you won't even have time to thank me."”
Widow Ba looked at the paper in her hand and said,""Are you sure you can write on this?”
Ying Yun said,"Not only can it be written, but it can also be stored for a long time.”
"I can guarantee that once this paper is sold, it will definitely cause a commotion. I'm afraid that even the Imperial Court will want to order it from you.”
Widow Ba looked at the paper in her hand again and said,""Alright, I'll believe you this once."
"Yun 'er, it's good that you're here."
Right at this moment, Ying Zheng walked in with Li Si and Feng Quji.
"What is it, Imperial Father?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Widow Ba, who hurriedly stood up and bowed,""Greetings, Your Majesty."
"No need to be so polite," Ying Zheng said lightly.”
" I have two things to discuss with you today," Ying Zheng said, looking at Ying Yun.”
"The first thing is that this rainstorm has caused floods in many counties across the country. Father hopes that you can think of a way to alleviate the disaster.”
"The second matter is that a meteorite fell from the sky in Chu. There are words engraved on it, saying that Father is a tyrant and a fatuous ruler. Father is worried that after the people find out, there will be a riot, so he wants to ask if you have a solution.”
Ying Yun's face revealed a contemplative expression, and he said,"This son has already resolved the flood for you."”
"What? Solved?"
Li Si and Feng Quji were shocked when they heard that.
It was the same for Ying Zheng.
Ying Yun saw the three of them looking puzzled and turned his gaze towards Widow Ba.
" Young Master Ying Yun told me just now that ten consecutive days of heavy rain will definitely cause floods in many places, so he hopes that I can help."”
"When we were in the restaurant, he helped me injure Young Master Huhai, so I naturally won't stand idly by when he's in trouble.”
"That's great. If you're willing to help, then this flood can be resolved.”
Li Si said happily.
"Things aren't as simple as you think. If I'm not wrong, half of the country's grain has already entered Xiang Liang's hands."”
"No matter how rich we are, he might not sell it.”
" Why?" Li Si frowned." Is he not going to sell it even if we double the price?"”
"He doesn't buy food to sell for money, but to buy the hearts of the people."”
"What, buy the hearts of the people?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Ying Yun said," That's right. A meteorite fell from the sky and said that Father is a tyrant. If at this time, Great Qin rioted because of a lack of food, and Xiang Liang used food to help the victims, what would the consequences be?”
" The people will definitely be grateful to him," Li Si said." Then, they will help him gain momentum."”
"That's right, this is Xiang Liang's true goal."”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng panicked and asked,""Then what should we do?"
Ying Yun turned his gaze to Widow Ba and said,"If we want to solve this problem, I'm afraid we'll have to rely on Sister Qing.”
"Relying on me?"
Widow Ba was confused.
Ying Yun said," That's right. I want you to buy the grain at a high price and then sell it to the people at a low price. This way, the grain in Xiang Liang's hands will be useless."”
"As long as I can endure for a month, I will have a way to completely resolve the crisis brought about by this flood.”
The sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn had been planted for almost a month.
Before planting these grains, Ying Yun had added a rapid growth potion.
This potion had one effect, which was to shorten the growth cycle of plants by half.
As such, Ying Yun believed that as long as they endured for another month, Great Qin's food crisis would be resolved.
Seeing Ying Yun's confident face, Widow Ba said,"Alright."
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Yun and said," What do you think about the meteorite that fell that day? Is it a warning from the heavens to my father?"”
" Your Majesty," Li Si said," I've already told you that this is a scheme by the remnants of the Six Nations. You must not believe it."”
" Since you say that this is a trick of the remnants of the six dynasties," said Ying Zheng," then tell me, how did they make meteorites fall from the sky?"”
Li Si was speechless when he saw Ying Zheng questioning him with this question again.
"Actually, Prime Minister Li is right. I also think that the meteorites that fell from the sky were caused by the remnants of the Six Nations," said Ying Yun.”
"As for how it was made, I want to ask father, have you ever seen meteorites fall from the sky?”
"No." Ying Zheng was startled, then shook his head.”
"Since there isn't, why is father so sure that this isn't made by the remnants of the six dynasties?”
Ying Yun smiled and said," Actually, it's very simple to solve this problem. We just need to give him a taste of his own medicine."”
"Give him a taste of his own medicine?”
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng and the other two revealed puzzled looks.
"Didn't they create rumors about meteorites falling from the sky, saying that Imperial Father is a tyrant?" Ying Yun asked.”
"Then why can't we create meteorites to praise Father's achievements?”
"Yeah, but how do we make meteorites?”
Li Si was delighted at first, but then he frowned and asked.
"It's said that meteorites fell from the sky, but no one has seen it with their own eyes."”
"Therefore, it's not difficult to make it.”
"Young Master, do you have a way?" Feng Quji asked.”
"I naturally have a way, but I need to find someone to cooperate." Ying Yun smiled.”
" Who do you want to find?" Ying Zheng said." As long as he is in Great Qin, my father can help you find him."”
Ying Yun smiled and said,"No need. The people I'm looking for can be seen everywhere. They are the commoners."”
"Commoners?"
"That's right. They are using the ignorance of the people to spread rumors. Then I can also use the people to praise my father's achievements. As for how to do it, I will keep it a secret for the time being.”
Seeing Ying Yun keeping them in suspense, although Ying Zheng and the other two wanted to know, they did not ask any more questions.
Several days later.
News of Widow Ba buying food at a high price quickly spread throughout Great Qin.
Chu.
Xiang Liang is sitting in the study, looking at the map of the attack on Xianyang.
He had waited for this day for many years.
At this moment, Xiangyu walked in angrily.
"Uncle, we're in trouble.”
