Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Seeing Zhao Che bring up the matter of rebellion again, Ying Zheng didn't bother to talk to him more.

Anyway, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, the chief culprits who led to the collapse of Great Qin, have already been solved by themselves.

Even if he really has no hope of everlasting life, Daqin can continue to develop steadily, and this is enough.

After having a meal at Zhao Che's place, Ying Zheng and Meng Yi and Zhao Shu had enough to eat and drink, and then they left with Qu Yuanli's drawings.

"Che'er, get ready. After I go back, I will arrange for someone to come over to you and take those potato seeds away!"

"Don't worry, remember to bring more people over!"

Ying Zheng explained casually, and the three got into the carriage and drove towards Xianyang.

……

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

"Gongshuqiu, this thing is called Quyuanli. It can greatly increase the speed at which our Daqin Qianshou plows the land. It can even replace the cattle with manpower. After you go down, build it as soon as possible."

Back at Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng immediately summoned Gong Shuchou.

"Your Majesty, where did you get so many blueprints? The previous batch of swords hasn't been finished yet."

Gong Shuchou's expression now is much more haggard than the last time he came here, which shows how busy he has been during this time.

"The progress of the sword can be delayed temporarily, but this Quyuanli is very important to our Great Qin, and must be built as soon as possible!"

"Here!"

Faced with Ying Zheng's request, does Gong Shuchou dare to say anything?He had no choice but to agree, and went back to work overtime with Qu Yuanli's drawings.

Meng Yi and Zhao Shu were not idle either. As soon as they came back, they went to mobilize manpower and prepared to go to Zhao Che to deliver potatoes to Nanjun.

These potatoes are the most important thing, if it weren't for the fact that the affairs of the court are too busy, Meng Yi can't wait to escort them in person.

……

The next day, the Xianyang court discussed.

"Your Majesty, those grain merchants have become more and more rampant recently. A while ago, you could buy two buckets of rice for one dollar. Today, the price of grain has risen to three yuan per bucket of rice. If this continues, it will definitely cause turmoil in our Great Qin! "

"That's right, Your Majesty, these unscrupulous merchants must not be tolerated, riding on the head of my Great Qin Qianshou, I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to punish these grain merchants!"

"Your Majesty, please act as soon as possible, otherwise the matter will only intensify!"

The recent grain in Xianyang can be said to be one price per day.

Even before Yingzheng had secretly manipulated the market, those merchants had raised the price of grain to the sky.

If Yingzheng had seen this situation before, it would have been a will to suppress it.

Although this will offend those grain merchants, at least it can find a way for the heads of Guizhou to survive, right?

But this time, Yingzheng didn't intend to compromise, Zhao Che had put the method in front of his eyes, if Yingzheng didn't follow this plan, he would be sorry for those hard-working heads of Guizhou.

"You don't need to worry about this matter, I already have a plan!"

In order to prevent the wind from leaking out, Ying Zheng planned to keep this plan strictly confidential.

"Your Majesty, are you going to let those grain merchants raise the price?"

At this time, Prime Minister Wang Wan also stood up and said to Ying Zheng with some displeasure.

"Let them go. No one in the court is allowed to interfere in this matter. All widows have their own decisions!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will cause panic in my Great Qin and Guishou. If those grain merchants don't punish them, they don't know how much they will raise the price of grain. This makes me, the Great Qin and Guishou, what will I use to spend the winter?"

Wang Wan's tone was very angry, and Ying Zheng's actions seemed to him like a child's anger.

But what Yingzheng gambled on was the lives of thousands of leaders of the Great Qin Dynasty.

"Wang Qing doesn't need to say much. I've made up my mind. It only takes three months. If the grain price doesn't come down, I will take out all Daqin's taxes this year!"

"Three months?"

Hearing Ying Zheng's swearing assurance, many officials present couldn't help being startled.

Where did Ying Zheng get his confidence?Even if the grain is planted again now, it will take more than three months to mature.

"Does His Majesty really have any plans?"

Several bigwigs in the court looked at each other and exchanged opinions.

"Your Majesty is merciful. I only hope that after three months, if the price of food cannot be lowered, His Majesty can faithfully fulfill his promise!"

Wang Wan surrendered and made concessions to Ying Zheng.

"Hmph, how can you not believe what you say with a golden mouth? Is Wang Qing warning you?"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly. Since Li Si was deposed by him, Wang Wan has become the head of the court officials.

Originally, this Wang Wan was a Confucian disciple, and he had never been at odds with Ying Zheng's ideas.

Now that Wang Wan is gaining power, she has obviously been a little too high-spirited during this time, and dared to question him in front of so many civil and military officials.

Ying Zheng naturally wanted to take this opportunity to give Wang Wan a good beating.

"Your Majesty's atonement, my subordinates naturally dare not, but this matter is related to the lives of thousands of heads of the Great Qin, and my subordinates dare not take it lightly!"

Wang Wan cupped her hands and apologized, but her tone was not soft at all.

"Okay, then wait for three months. After three months, Wang Qing will naturally know whether the widow has this ability!"

Ying Zheng waved his sleeves, shouted to retreat, and left angrily.

"Wang Xiang, you are too impulsive, you must have annoyed His Majesty now."

After Ying Zheng left, the officials present also left, but many people came to Wang Wan's side and advised him.

"Yes, Prime Minister, with His Majesty's temper, if you refuted his face in front of so many people this time, even if His Majesty won't do anything to you, you will probably feel displeased."

"Your Majesty's golden words, can you go back on what you said in front of so many people?"

"Prince Wang, I think you should go and apologize to His Majesty, and the matter will be over."

……

Hearing that the people around him were all advising him to make amends to Ying Zheng, Wang Wan was not annoyed, but he would not give in either.

"One word from your Majesty, it is a matter of life and death for the thousands of heads of the Great Qin Dynasty. If the food price does not drop after three months, unless your Majesty really takes out all the grain in the treasury, otherwise this winter will starve to death everywhere."

Although Wang Wan has a lot of pedantic temperament of Confucianism, but I have to say that he is a very capable person, and he is naturally loyal to Daqin.

Therefore, even if she knew that she would annoy Ying Zheng, Wang Wan had no choice but to force Ying Zheng to make a promise.

"I just hope that what His Majesty said is true. Perhaps after three months, some miracle will really happen. Three months is not a long time, and it will be over!"

Now everyone can only choose to believe in Ying Zheng. After all, he just personally ordered that no one should intervene in this matter. Judging by his self-confidence, it does not seem like a fake.
