Chapter 61 The People’s Savior!

Ever since Ying Ziye dealt with the rebellious nobles in Yan State according to the law, Li Si had developed a respect for him and had a vague idea of ​​leaning towards Ying Ziye.

As he observed, this idea became more and more firm.

"Your Excellency the Minister of Justice is absolutely right."

"The Second Prince has been extremely intelligent since he was young. He is proficient in martial arts, military tactics, poetry, and mechanical engineering. He is obviously a favorite of God!"

"Exactly! Exactly!"

"I think the second prince is actually the reincarnation of an immortal!"

"Those crops must have been brought by the Second Prince from the fairyland, bringing benefits to the Qin Empire!"

The atmosphere in the court reversed instantly, and the ministers' suspicion and accusations of Ying Ziye turned into admiration and respect.

This is the cruel side of reality.

When people are at their lowest point, there are always people who are eager to add insult to injury and step on them hard.

And when people reach the pinnacle, they will suddenly transform themselves into bootlickers, surrounding you and fawning on you.

This is a portrayal of the human world!

"Ha ha!"

"Very good!"

"Pay close attention to the food market and report any news to me immediately."

Ying Zheng was in an extremely good mood, and he laughed more at this moment than in the past month combined.

In the market, food prices continue to fall.

Ying Ziye’s strategy had just begun, and what would make the grain merchants even more fearful and annoyed was yet to come.

For several consecutive days, the price of grain fell below one string of coins, and continued to decline at a rate of one hundred coins per day!

There is still no one interested in the market every day.

The grain merchants cried bitterly!
They bought the grain at a high price, but now they are facing such a fate.
After months of violent fluctuations, grain prices finally returned to their previous normal levels, with ten dou of grain priced at ten cents.

However.
The people still stopped moving forward! Why?

The answer is just one word - expensive!

Even though the price of grain has returned to normal, it is still half higher than the potatoes and sweet potatoes promoted by Ying Ziye.

For the rich and powerful, five cents may be insignificant, but in this era when most people can hardly guarantee food and clothing, for ordinary people, these five cents are enough to fill the stomachs of a family.

then
Grain traders are in dire straits!
The granaries are filled with grains like mountains, but we can only watch them slowly deteriorate, and the wealth we have accumulated with great effort is about to vanish into thin air.

at this moment
Ying Ziye took action, like a ray of dawn piercing the darkness.

He instructed his men to purchase large quantities of grain from grain merchants at six cents per dou, which was lower than the market price.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes have dominated the Qin State's grain market. If grain merchants want to continue to compete, they have to sell them at a fair price, that is, five cents per dou.

The main force in purchasing food is the common people, and they will never compromise even for a penny more.

therefore
The grain merchants had no choice but to reluctantly sell the grain to Ying Ziye at a low price.

Their every move has long been under Ying Ziye's control.

The rice and wheat that were once sold at high prices now flow back into Ying Ziye's hands at low prices.

This is undoubtedly using the grain merchants' own money to buy their own grain!

then
Ying Ziye once again put the purchased grain on the market, selling it at a friendly price of five cents, allowing the people to buy it freely.

By doing this, he did not spend a penny, but instead enriched the national treasury and made the greedy businessmen lose all their money.

Most of the wealth of those profiteers who tried to take advantage of the chaos flowed into the pockets of the state and the people. This is the essence of the leverage economy. Inside Zhangtai Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have good news!"

"Today, the grain market has fully recovered. Under the Second Prince's brilliant idea, the price of rice and wheat has stabilized at five cents per pound."

"At this price, almost every citizen of Qin can afford it."

"The treasury is full, and the Qin Dynasty has no worries for the next three years. The Guanlong region donated a million stones of grain to ensure that the victims can spend the winter safely! Second Prince, you are truly the reincarnation of a god!"

There was a gleam of excitement in the eyes of the Internal Secretary Zhi Su, and he reported to Ying Zheng in an excited and respectful tone.

Everything comes to an end at this moment!
Full stop!
Be it the hardship of the disaster victims or the greed of unscrupulous businessmen, Ying Ziye resolved them all flawlessly!

Horrified!

Surprised!

Shocked!

The second prince actually solved all the problems in one fell swoop!
Countless ministers felt like they were in a dream, it was unbelievable!
The problem of natural disasters that has troubled kings of all dynasties was solved so perfectly by Ying Ziye with his wisdom!
Such wisdom!
Such scheming!
Such wrist!
One cannot help but look up at the Second Prince, as if he has the whole world at his disposal!
In the world of martial arts, one man and one sword can make all the countries in the world bow down to him!
In the world of wisdom and strategy, treat the world as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces, and plan your strategies!
He is simply a child of destiny!
Impeccable perfection!
"My son Ye is extremely wise and has properly resolved the crisis that the drought brought to the Qin State."

"And severely punished those profiteers who tried to take advantage of the situation!"

“Outstanding achievements!”

"The reward is ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand pieces of silk, ten horses of Ferghana, and ten carts of antiques and jade. As for food, well, forget about the food!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand generously and awarded Ying Ziye a generous reward. When he talked about food, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.

All over the world!

I'm afraid no one is less short of food than Ying Ziye.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Only then did all the civil and military officials recover from their shock and hasten to pay their respects to Ying Zheng.

This reward did not cause much stir, it was just money and property.

However, at this moment, some ministers in the court felt as if their hearts were bleeding!

Ying Ziye successfully solved the dilemma of food prices and refugees, but they suffered heavy losses as a result!

Especially those ministers who were instigated by Chunyu Yue!

I almost lost everything I had! It really proves the saying: Natural disasters can be overcome, but man-made disasters cannot be avoided!

Although the matter has been resolved satisfactorily, the sensation and impact it caused has just begun!
in ancient times.

Information spread slowly, so Ying Zheng and others in Xianyang City naturally got the news quickly.

It will take some time to know the situation of other counties and even other countries.

The yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes was 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms per mu, and evil was punished and abuses were eliminated, benefiting all people. These deeds spread from Xianyang City like ripples!
The world is shocked!

The people were amazed!

Countless Qin people couldn't help but kneel down to apologize to Ying Ziye and express their gratitude!

previously.

Many people felt resentful and even cursed Ying Ziye because he personally participated in raising food prices!
However, Ying Ziye endured everything silently!
For the sake of the overall situation and the world, he never had any complaints or anger.

Now, the truth is revealed!
Countless people felt deeply guilty and regretful for the previous misunderstandings, and some even slapped themselves!

Everything the Second Prince did.
It’s all for the common people struggling on the poverty line!
Only the second prince Ying Ziye's divine grain could produce up to seven or eight thousand kilograms per mu. It seemed like a blessing from heaven, enough to protect them from hunger and lead the refugees safely through this catastrophe!
He is the savior sent by God to protect the general public!

This is changing!
