Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Chapter 108 Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize

Hearing this, Ying Zheng and Zhao Shu had faintly sensed something was wrong.

"Che'er, tell me more clearly, what kind of idea are those businessmen planning?"

Zhao Che didn't continue to play tricks, and explained directly to Ying Zheng.

"It's actually very simple, but it's just using these benefits to drag Daqin into trouble!"

Zhao Che raised a finger, shook it lightly and said.

"Can you imagine, if those merchants raised the price of grain to sky-high prices, who would be the most dissatisfied?"

"Of course it is the head of Qin and Guizhou. After all, this food is related to whether they can survive the winter safely!"

Zhao Shu said.

He was originally a poor Qianshou. If he hadn't been fortunate enough to get help from Zhao Che, his family would have starved to death in that winter.

Therefore, from this perspective, he is the one who can best understand the consequences of rising food prices.

"That's right, it's the head of the Great Qin Dynasty. Dad, have you forgotten what I told you? The king is like a boat and the people are like water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it!"

"I will remember it for my father!"

Ying Zheng's face was already gloomy. He was not a fool, but just a fan of the authorities.

After Zhao Che's dialing, in fact, Ying Zheng probably already understood some of the sinister intentions of those grain merchants.

"Not only Qin Shihuang, but those merchants are also based on this foundation. The real control of this country has never been the monarch, but the thousands of people at the bottom."

"If you offend the monarch, you can still choose to run away or beg for forgiveness, but if you offend thousands of Qianshou, there will be no place for you in the entire Qin Dynasty!"

"Those grain merchants have acted recklessly and raised the price of grain to such an extent. It is conceivable how much the leaders of Guizhou hate them. It is almost impossible for them to buy grain again next year."

"Thus, these merchants need a shield to protect them from the anger of the heads of Guizhou. Naturally, the status of this shield must be very special. In the whole of Daqin, who is more suitable for this position than Yingzheng?"

……

Listening to Zhao Che's analysis, the anger in Ying Zheng's heart was already blazing.

"These damned merchants dare to plot against the widows, they really deserve to die!"

If it weren't for the concern that Zhao Che was still here, Ying Zheng would have wished to summon the Xuanniao Guards to arrest all those grain merchants and cut them to pieces!
But compared to this, what Yingzheng is more urgent now is how to find a way to solve this matter perfectly.

"Che'er, if Qin Shihuang saw through the plans of those merchants, how do you think he would save them?"

"Rescue? Save all the money and save the fart!"

Zhao Che pursed his lips and said very disdainfully.

"Then, according to your opinion, the blame for this food price increase can only be blamed on Ying Zheng?"

Ying Zheng was a little anxious. Could it be that even Zhao Che couldn't help it?

"Of course Yingzheng can't do anything about it, but we have it!"

"We have? What do you mean by that?"

Ying Zheng asked urgently.

"Actually, in the final analysis, the reason for all this is just the increase in food prices. As long as we suppress the price of food, the plans of those businessmen will naturally come to nothing."

"No matter how stupid the leaders of Guizhou are, it is impossible to believe that Yingzheng took money from others to help them lower the price of food!"

"Besides, the half of the profit is related to Yingzheng. The lower the price of food, the less the half of the profit will be."

"Yes, exactly!"

Ying Zheng's eyes sparkled, it turned out that this matter was so easy to solve.

Anyway, he originally planned to suppress the price of grain, but those stupid businessmen didn't know it.

They seemed to have given away half of the profits, dragging Ying Zheng into trouble.

But in fact, their money was given away for nothing, and it didn't play any role at all.

Of course, the root cause of all this lies in the killer potato that Zhao Che offered.

If there were no potatoes, and Ying Zheng really dared to accept the money and let the price of food increase, the final blame would definitely fall on him.

"If I were Qin Shihuang, I would have collected this money. Not only would I have to collect it, but I would have to collect it in advance. Otherwise, when the price of grain dropped, those merchants would not be able to keep it, and they would be told that they would lose half of the profit!"

"Once the money is collected, and the price of food falls again, that is the real profit."

"Anyway, the sharp drop in grain prices is due to the discovery of a large number of potatoes in Nanyang County. Qin Shihuang took the money and did fulfill his promise. He did not intervene in grain prices. However, the sharp drop in grain prices is a normal market fluctuation. What does it have to do with him? relation."

"As for the heads of Guizhou, as long as they can spend money to buy enough food to survive the winter, will they still care about Ying Zheng's confiscation of money?"

……

Zhao Che was talking to himself, trying to put himself into the role of Ying Zheng to make a decision.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately became excited.

My little son really has a dark heart.

Compared with him, those grain merchants are simply good people without exception.

It's true that the capitalists cried when they saw it, and the YT people were ashamed when they saw it.

Anyway, the money was sent by the merchants themselves, did Ying Zheng force them?No!

After collecting the money, the price of food dropped. What did it have to do with Ying Zheng? It was a normal market fluctuation.

Do the heads of Guizhou need to understand so many calculations?No, they just need to have enough food for the winter.

Yingzheng took the money, and the heads of Guizhou got cheap food. Isn't this a happy ending for everyone?
As for those grain merchants, would anyone care about their losses?
"Che'er, I suddenly remembered that Xianyang still has some things to do, so I won't accompany you for now, and I will come to see you another day!"

After thinking through all this, Ying Zheng stood up and said something to Zhao Che without saying a word, and then hurried away with Zhao Shu.

What Zhao Che said just now is very correct, the half of the profit has to be collected in advance!

Otherwise, after the price of grain plummets, those businessmen will not be able to protect their capital. Where can they get the money for him?

Not only money but also cash must be collected. Food is definitely not needed.

Don't look at that thing is expensive now, after tomorrow, the price of food will be worthless.

Therefore, when Yingzheng returned to Xianyang Palace, he immediately sent someone to convey the order to the grain merchants, asking them to send half of the agreed profit to Xianyang Palace in advance, based on the current market price .
