At this moment.
The court was silent!
Unbelievable!
It was unbelievable!
Unacceptable!
All sorts of emotions appeared on their faces and spread in their hearts!
This kind of thing was really beyond their imagination and subverted their understanding!
Tsk!
One mu of land could produce eight thousand catties of grain. This was the f * cking immortal grain grown in the immortal field!？
"That's impossible…It was impossible…Impossible…"
Chun Yuyue seemed to be possessed as he muttered to himself. He clenched his fists and his eyes were red.
He couldn't believe it. He didn't want to believe it!
He was waiting for Ying Ziqiu's failure, and was prepared to send a message to Ying Zheng to punish the Second Prince in order to appease the wrath of the heavens and suppress Ying Ziqiu, so that Ying Zheng would be disgusted and disappointed with him, and even chase him out of the Qilin Palace.
Furthermore!
In order to deal the greatest blow to Ying Ziqiu, Chunyu Yue had secretly instigated some officials to purchase food and create trouble for Ying Ziqiu.
Now.
With the current market price of grain plummeting, they were probably going to suffer a huge loss!
He looked up.
A few ministers were looking at Chunyu Yue with murderous gazes, causing his scalp to go numb and his entire body to tremble!
These people, under his encouragement, almost used up all their wealth to hoard food.
Now, it was probably going to be all in his hands!
"Your Majesty, these potatoes and sweet potatoes are really auspicious!”
"This is the heavens 'blessing for Great Qin and their love for the Second Prince!”
"With such an auspicious sign, the people of Great Qin will no longer have to worry about hunger!”
Li Si stood up and praised loudly, speaking up for Ying Ziqiu.
Ever since the Yan Country's Ying Ziqiu had purged the rebellious nobles, Li Si admired Ying Ziqiu and had the intention to side with him.
As he observed, this thought became stronger and stronger!
"You're right, chief justice."
"The Second Prince has been extremely talented since he was young. He is proficient in martial arts, the art of war, literary talent, trap techniques, and so on.”
"Yes! That's right!"
"I think the second prince is the reincarnation of an immortal!”
"Those things must have been brought back by the Second Prince from the Immortal World to bless the people of Great Qin!”
The direction of the court immediately changed.
The ministers 'disbelief, suspicion, and anger towards Ying Ziqiu turned into admiration, respect, and admiration.
Reality was cruel.
When you were down and out, someone would want to kick you when you were down and trample on you crazily.
Similarly.
When you were at your peak, they would turn into bootlickers and lick you non-stop, flattering and flattering you.
Reality in the human world!
"Haha!"
"Good!"
"Pay close attention to the situation of the grain market. Report to me immediately if there is any news.”
Ying Zheng was in a great mood.
The amount of laughter in this short while was more than the total amount of laughter in this entire month!
......
In the market, the price of grain continued to plummet.
Ying Ziqiu's methods were just the beginning. It made the grain merchants even more fearful and regretful.
For a few days.
The price of grain on the market had dropped below one hundred copper coins, and it was still dropping at an average rate of one hundred copper coins per day!
No one cared about him every day.
The grain merchants cried!
When they were purchasing food, they would pay a few strings of money per bushel.
In the end…
He couldn't even sell a bushel of money!
Blood loss!
They hated Ying Ziqiu to death!
Some grain merchants were even forced into a corner and bribed assassins to assassinate Ying Ziqiu to protect their interests.
Unfortunately...
Who was Ying Ziqiu?
Putting aside his own strength, he had four secret agents of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa, thirty-six Heavenly Stars, seventy-two Earthly Fiends, the Quicksand Organization that was once famous in the seven countries, and the mysterious Yinyang School.
Even the world's number one assassin organization, the Network, had to be extremely careful and meticulously set up when they wanted to assassinate Ying Ziqiu.
Even after a few months, he still had not succeeded.
Not to mention the mediocre assassins that the grain merchants had hired.
They didn't even get to see Ying Ziqiu's face before they were finished off!
Finally…
After the plunge that lasted for half a month, it finally returned to the normal market price of ten copper coins per bushel.
but...
There were still no commoners buying it!
Why?
It was expensive!
Although the price of grain had dropped to normal, the price was still more than half the price of the potatoes and sweet potatoes that Ying Ziqiu had introduced.
Perhaps, to some dignitaries, five wen more was nothing.
However, in this era where the average person did not have enough to eat, five wen was not a small amount for an ordinary household.
Five wens was enough to fill their stomachs, so why would they need to spend ten wens?
It collapsed!
If they couldn't sell it after it returned to normal prices, the large amount of food that they hoarded in their hands would only wait to rot, and all their money would disappear into thin air!
At this moment.
At the moment when the grain merchants were in the most despair, Ying Ziqiu made his move.
He sent people to buy the grain from the grain merchants at an extremely low price of six wens per bushel.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes had already filled the gaps in the Great Qin's grain market. If these grain merchants wanted to continue competing, they had to sell at a fair price.
In other words, it would be reduced to five copper coins per bushel.
Most of the people who bought food were ordinary people. They were not willing to pay even if it was an extra penny.
Therefore.
These grain merchants could only tearfully sell the grain in their hands to Ying Ziqiu.
He had a tight grasp on the minds of these merchants.
The rice and wheat that Ying Ziqiu had sold at an extremely high price were bought back by him at an extremely low price.
It was equivalent to using the grain merchants 'money to buy their grain!
After that.
Ying Ziqiu then repurchased the grain and placed it on the market again. He sold it at the price of five copper coins so that the commoners could choose as they pleased.
After this operation.
Ying Ziqiu didn't spend any money at all. Instead, he made the national treasury full of money, causing the profiteers to lose all their capital.
These profiteers, who intended to make a fortune from the national disaster, almost all the money in their hands went into the national treasury and the pockets of the people.
This was the most basic application of the leverage economy.
Zhangtai Palace.
"Your Majesty!"
"Now that the grain market has completely stabilized, the price of rice and wheat has stabilized at five copper coins per 500 grams thanks to the Second Prince's amazing methods.”
"This price is something that almost every household in Great Qin can afford.”
"Moreover, Great Qin's national treasury has become incredibly abundant, enough to sustain Great Qin's expenses for three years. The Guanlong region has also sent over one million dans of grain, enough for the disaster victims to survive through the winter!”
"The Second Prince is truly a god!"
Internal Secretary Zhi Li, who was in charge of the national treasury and the people's livelihood, reported to Ying Zheng with an excited expression and a face full of admiration.
It was resolved!
Completely resolved!
Whether it was the disaster victims or the profiteers raising the price of grain, Ying Ziqiu had perfectly resolved all of them!
Stunned!
Shocked!
Shocking!
The Second Prince, he…He actually solved everything!？
Countless officials felt like they were dreaming!
The problem of natural disasters that had been unsolvable for generations had actually been perfectly solved by Ying Ziqiu!
This resourcefulness!
This scheming!
This method!
The Second Prince had practically toyed with the entire world in the palm of his hand!
In martial arts, one man and one sword suppressed all the countries in the world until they could not raise their heads!
Wisdom, using the world as a chessboard, using all the living beings of the countries as chess pieces, playing in the palm of his hand!
He was simply the son of the heavens!
It was perfect to the extreme!
