Ying Ziqiu directly ignored the officials 'doubtful gazes.
He looked at Ying Zheng.
As long as Ying Zheng nodded and let him handle this matter, it would be fine.
At that time, the truth would naturally shut these people up!
"Good!"
"Since Ziqiu is so confident, I'll leave this matter to you!”
Looking at the confident Ying Ziqiu, Ying Zheng chose to trust him.
It was just like how none of the ministers believed that he could lead a hundred thousand soldiers to destroy the Yan Kingdom, and only Ying Zheng himself trusted him!
This time!
He also chose to believe in his son!
"Thank you, Father!"
"Please wait for the news.”
"Your son will take his leave first and go back to prepare.”
Ying Ziqiu accepted the task, excused himself, turned around, and left. He didn't even want to participate in the following court meetings.
"Haha!"
"The amount of food needed by millions of refugees is undoubtedly an astronomical figure!”
"How are you going to solve it?"
"What if you can't solve it by the time you stall for time?”
Chunyu Yue looked at Ying Ziqiu's back as he left. He laughed coldly and his eyes were filled with ridicule.
It was as if he could see Ying Ziqiu being pushed onto the guillotine to appease the anger of the people!
"Sigh!"
"The Second Prince is a little impulsive!”
"There is no way to solve this problem. We can only wait for the natural disaster to pass. A portion of the refugees will starve to death.”
"Yes, I am!"
"No food!"
"There's no way to deal with this kind of natural disaster!”
The ministers all sighed, none of them were optimistic about Ying Ziqiu.
There was a great drought in the world.
Many ministers had experienced this scene before.
Other than the imperial court being able to provide sufficient food for disaster relief, there was no other way!
But...
There were too many refugees involved this time!
There were many things that needed to be done in Yan and Zhao, and Great Qin did not have enough food to help the refugees survive the entire winter!
"Ziqiu, I believe that you will not disappoint me!”
At this moment.
In the entire Imperial Court, only Ying Zheng, this old father, believed that Ying Ziqiu could resolve this matter.
......
Ying Ziqiu left the royal court and didn't return to his own palace.
Instead, he headed straight for Luoyang.
In the suburbs.
The endless farmland was covered with green crops.
However, they were not ordinary rice and wheat. Instead, they were potatoes and sweet potatoes that Ying Ziqiu had obtained from the system.
Ying Ziqiu walked to the field and pulled out a potato seedling with each hand. There were oval-shaped potatoes on the roots. They were heavy and had a lot of weight.
The system rewarded them with high-yield potatoes that were free of diseases. The fruits that were planted naturally were very many.
"Very good!"
"Haha!"
"Just wait to bleed!"
Ying Ziqiu thought of the profiteers who had raised the price of grain and the Qi, Wei, and Chu countries. A cold smile appeared on his face.
The potatoes would be his trump card!
These people would never dream of how terrifying the yield of potatoes was!
A plan slowly appeared in Ying Ziqiu's mind.
As a person who had transmigrated, Ying Ziqiu not only had the system's golden finger that allowed him to possess extraordinary martial strength!
At the same time, his knowledge was far from what the people of this era could compare to.
In his previous life, when he was in university, he had studied economics.
Although it couldn't compare to some experts, it was enough to deal with these ancient people who didn't even have the concept of economics!
Now.
The price of grain on the market had already risen from ten wens per bushel to a hundred wens per bushel.
The price had increased tenfold!
But…
After Ying Ziqiu intervened, not only did he not try to suppress the grain price, he even continued to raise it!
They also took out the stored grain from the national treasury and sold it.
Together with those profiteers, they raised the price of grain!
Just how transcendent was Ying Ziqiu's status?
It could be said that in the Great Qin Empire, Ying Ziqiu had the most prestige besides the Great King Ying Zheng.
Even the merchants who were bidding up the price of grain were even more unscrupulous. The price of grain continued to rise.
From a hundred copper coins to a thousand copper coins, it had reached the price of a bucket of money. It could be said that it had risen to an astronomical price!!
Ying Ziqiu's actions immediately caused the people of the world to complain.
There were even people cursing in secret.
Wasn't this forcing ordinary people like them to their deaths?
Who could afford a bucket of rice for Yi Guan?？
Because of this, the imperial court exploded!
Every day, the bamboo slips of impeaching Ying Ziqiu were almost piled up with Ying Zheng's table, making him feel like a pear mountain!
But...
Out of his trust in Ying Ziqiu, Ying Zheng still withstood the pressure from these ministers.
He believed that Ying Ziqiu's actions had a deeper meaning.
His second son was definitely not the kind of person who was greedy and harmed the people.
As time passed.
The price of grain had skyrocketed, and countless grain merchants were buying and hoarding it, preparing to sell it at a high price and make a fortune.
The merchants of Qi, Wei, and Chu were even buying wantonly.
It was as if he wanted to buy all the grain in the Qin country!
Even ordinary people could not help but take out their family's grain reserves to sell at such a high price.
All the merchants accepted the grain.
For a moment.
The entire market of the State of Qin had set off a storm of purchasing grain. Even some merchants from other fields had stepped in, wanting to take the opportunity to make a fortune.
The benefits of this were too great!
Countless merchants had spent all of their property and hoarded a large amount of food, preparing to make a fortune.
Days passed.
Almost all of Great Qin's surplus grain had been hoarded into the hands of the various merchants, and even Great Qin's treasury had been sold out by Ying Ziqiu!
It was simply crazy!
Even though Ying Zheng trusted Ying Ziqiu, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch wildly. What exactly was his second son trying to do?？
Zhangtai Palace.
"Your Majesty, you can't let the Second Prince continue to act like this!”
"Almost all of the food in Great Qin's market has been controlled by profiteers, and the commoners of the world will face the risk of not having food to eat!”
"If this continues, it will arouse public anger!”
"At that time, the country will be no more!”
"The Second Prince's actions are undoubtedly pushing Great Qin into the abyss!”
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"
Wang Wan, Wei Liao, Chunyu Yue, Feng Quji and many other ministers advised Ying Zheng.
The current situation had far exceeded their expectations!
This was simply taking the safety of the entire Qin country as a joke!
"Wait a little longer!"
"All of you can leave!"
Ying Zheng put up a strong front and waved his hand to dismiss them, while cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Obviously.
Ying Zheng was also feeling a little flustered.
Ying Ziqiu had indeed gone a little overboard this time. However, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had no choice but to shoot. He could only continue to choose to believe in Ying Ziqiu!
At the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
The four great secret agents of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, Quicksand Guard Zhuang, Bai Feng, Yin Yang School's Concubine Yan, Xing Hun, Moon Goddess, and Ying Ziqiu's subordinates were all here.
"Concubine Yan, have you dug out all the potatoes and sweet potatoes?”Ying Ziqiu asked Concubine Yan who was beside him.
"Your Highness, we have dug out all the potatoes and sweet potatoes in Luoyang!”
"The average yield of potatoes per mu is about 8,000 catties!”
"Sweet potatoes are slightly inferior, but the average yield per mu is about 7,000 catties!”
Lady Yan reported to Ying Ziqiu, her face full of shock.
When she first saw 8,000 catties of grain dug out from one mu of land, she was completely dumbfounded!
How could there be such a divine item in the world!？
Luoyang City's several hundred thousand mu of land, its production was an astronomical figure!
Even now, Lady Yan could not forget the shocking scene of potatoes and sweet potatoes piling up like a mountain!
Her words shocked everyone present!
This...
It could simply be called a divine item!
