Seeing the potatoes with their own eyes, these grain merchants who were originally full of confidence suddenly panicked.

"Don't worry, everyone. The most important thing for us now is to find out the origin of these potatoes and how many potatoes there are in Yingzheng's place."

Chu Qiu frowned, facing Ying Zheng's powerful methods, what could he do.

Unless the source of potatoes in Yingzheng's hands is cut off, there is no other way.

As for using other means, don't even look at who is standing behind the Daqin Grain Bank. Yingzheng personally supervised the construction. Who would dare to target it?

When everyone present heard Chu Qiu's words, they quickly nodded in agreement, but some of them looked a little unnatural.

The potatoes were escorted by Meng Yi himself, and since Ying Zheng chose to use them to help Qianshou, he naturally made all preparations for the source.

Regardless of the superficial appearance of these grain merchants, they have accumulated nearly [-]% of Daqin's annual grain.

These people have not forgotten what happened to those who sold private salt when Ying Zheng launched the Daqin Salt Account.

"No, going against Daqin is definitely a dead end. The only way now is to take the initiative to lower the price of grain, and at least we can keep our capital!"

Those who have such thoughts are all small-scale grain merchants.

Among them, some people actually did not intend to participate in this matter.

After all, if Ying Zheng was offended, it would be in danger of turning around.

However, in order to fully control the market in his own hands, Chu Qiu exhausted all means.

Faced with such coercion and temptation, those who refused to agree were eventually targeted by many grain merchants.

And the rest of the people, seeing this scene, could only agree.

Now that Ying Zheng really came up with a countermeasure, Chu Qiu and the others were pushed to the edge of a cliff.

But for these small businessmen, they didn't actually lose anything. Even if they sold the grain in their hands at a low price, they still made some money, at least they could keep their capital.

Since Yingzheng's resignation, they are no longer able to participate in the grain price battlefield.

These small businessmen have already made plans in their hearts. No matter what, after going back today, they must find a way to sell all the grain in their hands.

No matter who it is sold to, they will not participate anyway, so whoever wants to continue can continue!
……

Soon, after many businessmen left, they started their own plans.

Concerned about the influence of Chu Qiu, they did not directly open the door and sell it to Qianshou at a low price. Instead, they looked for other grain merchants to buy their own grain.

It's a pity that after searching around, no grain merchants are willing to continue hoarding goods, even if they sell at the original price, no one wants them.

At this time, Zhao Shu, the governor of Daqin, suddenly came to the door, willing to use the previous market price to buy the grain in their hands.

Moreover, Zhao Shu also promised them that they could get the protection of Daqin officials, and they don't have to worry about Chu Qiu seeking revenge from them.

At this moment, those grain merchants became excited in an instant, quickly took out all the grain they had hoarded, and took the initiative to lower the price.

With Zhao Shu's words, they will not be ordinary businessmen in the future, but government businessmen. The improvement of their status alone cannot be bought even if they spend a lot of money.

As for the person sent by Chu Qiu and others to investigate the source of the potatoes, there is no news yet.

Soon, three days passed in a flash. These grain merchants have suffered heavy losses in the past few days, and they are frowning every day.

After their discussion, they have taken the initiative to reduce the price by [-]%.

However, in the face of high-quality and cheap potatoes, they still have no power to fight back.

The Qianshou people were not wealthy families, so even if the food price was reduced by [-]%, it was obviously not something they could afford.

Although it is not nutritious to eat potatoes every day, and it is very monotonous, but at least it can fill your stomach, right?

……

On this day, the Xianyang Palace canceled the court meeting for three consecutive days, and finally held it again.

And many courtiers also saw the red-faced Ying Zheng after three days.

"I'll see your Majesty!"

"All the ministers are exempted from gifts!"

Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair carelessly, looking at the ministers below, he felt extremely happy in his heart.

For the past three days, he stayed at Zhao Che's place, commanding Zhao Shu and others remotely.

Naturally, Ying Zheng was well aware of the actions of those grain merchants.

After being silent for such a long time, when Ying Zheng made a move, the effect was really extraordinary.

This time the grain merchants suffered great losses, but Ying Zheng made a lot of money.

The rumors that were flying all over Xianyang City before disappeared without Yingzheng sending people to suppress them.

"Do you have any important reports today?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this minister is guilty, please punish him!"

As soon as Ying Zheng's words fell, Wang Wan stood up and knelt down on the ground.

"Wang Qing, what is the meaning of this? As my prime minister, you have worked hard and made great achievements. During these three days,
