Regarding Ying Zheng's words, in fact, among the many courtiers in the industry, a large part of them did not believe it.

Among them, even important ministers like Li Si and Wang Ben were included.

But what is surprising is that this time Wang Wan actually chose to side with Ying Zheng.

"My lords, don't worry, Your Majesty has said that there is a way, I just need to wait quietly. After the expiration of three months, we will see the result!"

Ying Zheng was not surprised when he heard Wang Wan's words.

After all, he had made a bet with Wang Wan in private.

After three months, if the price of grain does not drop, he will use the grain in the treasury to supplement the head of Guizhou.

Wang Wan seemed to be trying to save Ying Zheng from the siege today, but she was actually reminding him from the side not to forget the bet.

"Even the prime minister said so, it seems that His Majesty really has a way!"

"It doesn't matter, since His Majesty has already made a decision, I just need to execute it, and wait quietly for the expiration of the three months!"

"There are still a few days left, everyone, don't worry!"

……

Sure enough, after Wang Wan stood up to speak for Ying Zheng, many courtiers present fell silent.

"Hmph, it seems that you don't believe the widow's words?"

Ying Zheng was obviously very upset when he saw this scene.

Even if Wang Wan is the head of the civil officials of the Great Qin Dynasty, he is still a courtier after all.

But the performance just now made Yingzheng notice that Wang Wan's influence in the court even slightly surpassed his own. How could Yingzheng bear it?
"Your Majesty, forgive me, how dare we not believe in Your Majesty?"

"That's right, Your Majesty speaks well, and there is no reason to go back on what you said?"

"Your Majesty suspects His Majesty just now. He really deserves to die. Please His Majesty, please come down!"

……

Seeing that Yingzheng was angry, the courtiers who had just come forward to speak out against Yingzheng quickly knelt down to plead guilty.

They were too anxious just now, so they became suspicious of Ying Zheng.

But everyone in the court has always understood that Wang Wan, as the Prime Minister of Great Qin, is very upright.

If Yingzheng didn't have enough reasons, it stands to reason that Wang Wan should be the one who took the lead in opposing today.

But Wang Wan spoke for Ying Zheng today, which shows that what Ying Zheng said must be extremely credible.

Therefore, everyone subconsciously acknowledged Wang Wan's words, but ignored who is the real master of Daqin.

"Hmph, since you are also doing it for me, the head of the Qin Dynasty, I will spare you the death penalty. Everyone will go down to receive their own punishment, and then half a year's salary will be deducted!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he will suffer some flesh and blood, but fortunately, he is exempted from the death penalty.

As for the deduction of half a year's salary, for them, it was already the result of Ying Zheng's extrajudicial favor.

"If there is nothing else to do, then retreat!"

Ying Zheng said with a bit of displeasure, this time it was considered as a small warning to them, and if there was another time, Ying Zheng would definitely not let them off lightly.

After the court meeting ended, Ying Zheng called Wang Jian Mengyi and others into his private hall.

"Meng Qing, how is the situation in Nanyang County? Are those potatoes ripe?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhisunaishi has brought someone to check, and the potatoes can already be dug!"

"So fast?"

Ying Zheng was surprised, he thought he might have to wait a few days at the earliest.

"I originally wanted to report this matter to His Majesty today. After these potatoes are dug out, the food crisis in Daqin will naturally be solved!"

"What is the expected harvest of this batch of potatoes?"

"This... I don't know much about potatoes, but the young master said, even if the harvest is the worst, it's still around 600 million shi!"

"it is good!"

Ying Zheng looked excited.

600 million shi, this is already a very scary figure, enough to completely drive down the price of grain.

"Mengqing, you set off immediately and go to Nanjun to be responsible for digging and transporting potatoes. You must transport these potatoes to Xianyang as soon as possible. Can it be completed?"

"Your Majesty will live up to your Majesty's trust!"

"Okay, Zhao Qing, you have to work hard these few days. After the potatoes are delivered to Xianyang, immediately put them in the grain store, and let the widow lower the price of grain!"

"Here!"

Zhao Shu clapped his hands in response.

"Wu Chenghou, you can continue to be in charge of the restaurant business. The franchise plan that Che'er mentioned before can speed up the pace. After a while, the widow has other plans!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister will definitely do his best!"

The three of them each received orders and retreated one after another.

And Ying Zheng was not idle, he called Zhang Han, told him to go to Zhao Che, and brought over those warm clothes and chilblain oil.

These things are naturally to be sent to the northern frontier.

Because the quantity is limited, Yingzheng does not expect to spread it to every soldier for the time being, so he can only let them wear it in rotation for the time being.

After a while, after the food crisis is resolved, Yingzheng will have enough military expenses in his hands, and then he will directly order Meng Tian to lead people into the Huns, and teach them a painful lesson.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

And this east wind is exactly the potatoes planted three months ago.

From the moment the potatoes matured, the east wind had already blown, and what Yingzheng had to do now was to bring the east wind to Xianyang.

On the same day, Meng Yi left Xianyang with a large number of people and rushed towards Nanyang County.

Because the matter had become a foregone conclusion, Meng Yi had no intention of hiding it at all, so he left in such a swaggering manner.

And this change naturally caused many people in Xianyang to speculate.

"Do you still remember what His Majesty said before, that after three months, the price of food will definitely come down?"

"Didn't Your Majesty just mention it at the court meeting today? Does your lord know something hidden?"

"Your Majesty's thoughts, that's what I can figure out, but if I'm right, Shangqing took so many people out of Xianyang this time, it's probably related to the food issue!"

Such rumors were not only circulated among the officials in the court, but also many large-scale businessmen naturally heard of it.

But they scoffed at Ying Zheng's words.

All the large-scale grain merchants in the entire Great Qin have reached a consensus long ago, and the increase or decrease of grain prices is all within their whim.

Even if Ying Zheng is the Great Qin Emperor, it is impossible for him to go against the general trend by himself.

Otherwise, at worst, they will close the store directly, and I will stop selling food. What will happen to Ying Zheng?
