"Happy?"

Sun Chengzong's face became solemn.

He could see that Zhang Jingyi couldn't hide his joy.

The heart sank directly.

Suddenly, he remembered some rumors that the Zhang family had been collecting grain all along.

Could it be that this Zhang Jingyi is in the same group as those grain merchants?

At this time, Zhang Jingyi said: "Today's rise in grain prices is for profit, and the word is profit, how can you solve the problem by relying on a few knives?" In this world, there is no shortage of people who are willing to risk their heads for the sake of profit, can Brother Wei kill all these people? So in my opinion, using factory guards to solve these problems is just a matter of seeking fish. If we want to solve the current food shortage, we have to use the methods of grain merchants. ”

"The grain merchant's method?" Sun Chengzong was surprised: "What is the method?" ”

"It's complicated, and I think Sun Gong may not be able to understand it for a while." Zhang Jingyi said very seriously.

"Briefly say that, then." Sun Chengzong said: "What is the first step? ”

"Let them rise."

"What about the second step?"

"The second step is to sell grain to our Zhang family."

Sun Chengzong trembled with anger, is this what people do? Aren't you one of those profiteers?

So Sun Chengzong said with a cold face: "If you do this, where are you going to put the people of the world?" ”

Zhang Jing knew that this grandfather had misunderstood, so he said, "Grandfather Sun...... You listen to me. ”

Sun Chengzong said angrily: "Zhang Jingyi, I misjudged you and was ashamed to be with you." ”

After that, he stood up: "There will be a period later, no, there will be no period later." ”

It's hot-tempered.

Zhang Jing had nothing to say for a while.

Sun Chengzong's temper has always been like this, otherwise he would not have resigned angrily when he was the superintendent of Liaodong.

It was as if I had the words "I am not in harmony with sin" written on his face.

Sun Chengzong said, didn't look at Zhang Jing again, and left directly.

…………

Two days later, a recital message arrived at the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was shocked when he saw Song Shu, this was actually Master Sun's.

And it was Master Sun who impeached Zhang Jingyi.

You must know that a few days ago, Master Sun has always said good things about Zhang Jingyi in front of him, saying that this person has economic talents, although he is not from a Jinshi background, he can be of great use in the future.

By the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, either a minister from a jinshi background, or a eunuch from the inner study, this Zhang Jingyi does not rely on left and right, of course, no one will say good things about him, and only Sun Chengzong Fu has put his heart in his heart every time, holding Zhang Jingyi very high, and he does not hide his appreciation for Zhang Jingyi at all.

Who would have thought that in just a few days, they would turn their faces.

Sun Chengzong played Zhang Jingyi and allowed grain prices to rise, and impeached Zhang Jingyi for hoarding grain.

At this juncture, this is simply scolding Zhang Jingyi for accepting the favor of the country, not thinking of repaying the service, and not being a human being.

Emperor Tianqi was worried at this time, so he had to summon Sun Chengzong and Huang Liji to the Qinzheng Palace.

He said to his face: "Master Sun's recital, I have seen it, Master Sun's temperament is anxious, there may be some misunderstanding with Zhang Qing, I have summoned Zhang Qing here, today in front of me, I asked him to make amends for you, and the two of you will rebuild the old one, you don't have to be like enemies." I don't believe that Zhang Jingyi is the kind of person Master Sun said. ”

What else did Sun Chengzong want to say.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was a pressive hand, signaling him not to speak.

So they sat idly and talked about the drought in Guanzhong, and the monarchs and ministers began to worry again.

After a while, Wei Zhongxian came, he was out of breath, and as soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw him come in, he immediately became excited: "Wei Companion, how is it?" ”

Wei Zhongxian has been outside the palace for the past few days, all for the sake of food prices.

At this time, he saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the grain merchants and slaves in the capital have ordered them to open the door, and in order to set an example, the slaves and maids have copied a grain merchant......"

Call......

At the very least, the situation of the people buying food has eased.

"What about the price of food?"

"Food prices have stabilized, and now it's three taels and one stone."

Although three taels and one stone are already expensive, this price has solved the urgent need of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was overjoyed and said, "This is very good. ”

Huang Liji was also happy.

Even Sun Chengzong couldn't help but glance at Wei Zhongxian with admiration.

"That Zhang Jingyi also said that food prices can't be suppressed, you see...... It's not pressed down. When that Zhang Jingyi came, the old man took a look, he was ashamed and not ashamed. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said to Wei Zhongxian: "Wei Companion's hard work has been high. ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Where is it, it's just ...... Just ......"

"Just what?"

Wei Zhongxian paused and said, "The slave and maid may be in a hurry, so ...... The slave maid heard about ......"

Wei Zhongxian looked speechless, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Captain Ran Xingrang, because of the urging of the slave and maid, he hanged himself last night, but I am afraid that the news of his death will soon be transmitted to the palace." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was stunned, this Ran Xingrang was the husband of Princess Shouning, and he was his uncle!

So the Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned and said, "How did he get involved?" ”

"The slave and maid led people to raid several grain merchants overnight, and one of them ...... The slave and maid only learned afterwards that this had a lot to do with the concubine Captain Ran Xingrang, and after the slave and maid checked it, Ran Captain was said to be angry all night, and in the early morning, someone came to report that he had hanged himself. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse gasped.

He could almost imagine that his aunt would soon enter the palace in search of death.

Only one grain merchant was raided, and it was actually closely related to the horse commander, which shows the ...... behind these grain merchants

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was both weak and embarrassed for a while, no matter what, he was a person who valued feelings, and he was more or less guilty about that aunt.

But at this time...... The Emperor of the Apocalypse had to say coldly: "Now, I can't care about it so much, Wei Banban is not guilty." ”

Wei Zhongxian also breathed a sigh of relief.

To tell the truth, Wei Zhongxian went to the horse Du Wei Ran Xing, and he knew very well that if he didn't force a few imperial relatives to die, those grain merchants would never rein in.

As he was talking, a eunuch outside said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Baihu has arrived." ”

"Call in."

At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse no longer had the joy after stabilizing the price of grain, and his heart was heavy.

As soon as Zhang Jing came in, he saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Apocalypse's face softened: "Zhang Qing doesn't need to be polite, ...... today I have a note here, which impeaches you, saying that you are ...... the price of food."

"Your Majesty, when you enter the palace, you want to talk about the price of grain." Zhang Jingyi said with a straight face.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The matter of grain prices, there is no need to discuss it anymore, this matter has been solved by Wei Banban." ”

"Really?" Zhang Jingyi obviously came prepared, so he said: "But as far as you know, the matter has not been resolved, and it is getting worse, and now the price of grain in the capital has reached six taels and three coins of silver." ”

"No way!" Wei Zhongxian's face on the side changed, isn't this questioning that we are not doing things well?

Wei Zhongxian said with a stiff face: "When we entered the palace, it was clearly three taels of silver and one stone. ”

"Really?" Zhang Jing smiled and said, "But according to my inquiry, the situation is different. The grain stores on the market have indeed opened, and the prices listed for each one are indeed three taels of silver, but they are ......"

As soon as Zhang Jing said, he actually brought a small burden: "These three taels of silver...... It is such rice that is sold. ”

The burden was shaken, and everyone looked fixedly.

Then he saw a pile of rotten grain and gravel falling out of the burden.

When the monarchs and ministers saw it, their faces suddenly changed.

Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty, this is the grain of three taels and one stone now!" In a pound of grain, half a pound is a stone, and half a pound is rotten grain. This kind of grain is fed to the livestock, and the animals do not eat it, but now...... The factory guard clearly ordered that three taels of silver and one stone of grain must be sold, if not, they must be severely punished, so overnight, the rice shops sold such rice. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was so angry that he smoked, such rice was obviously inedible.

And Wei Zhongxian's face was no longer bloodless, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty...... Slaves...... Slaves...... Check it out again. ”

After working for so many days, he forced a horse to death, confiscated several rice merchants, and the factory guards poured out of the nest, and it was he Wei Zhongxian who personally went out......

Just tossed out this?

Sun Chengzong was already furious, and he didn't care about Zhang Jingyi's affairs, and said sharply: "The grain merchant is so hateful, can the court still sit idly by?" ”

Huang Liji was also busy saying: "Your Majesty ......"

Zhang Jingyi said very seriously: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is the inevitable result...... With Brother Wei alone, this grain price can't be suppressed. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at Zhang Jing and couldn't help but say, "So...... What do you think? ”

Zhang Jingyi looked confident, and said: "Even if the people killed today are ten times or a hundred times that of Brother Wei, as long as there is a shortage of grain in the world, the price of grain will only continue to rise." So...... If you want to truly solve the current problem, you must follow the trend. ”

"Homeopathy?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse stared at Zhang Jingyi, his eyes full of incomprehension.

I saw Zhang Jingyi continue: "The so-called prosperity and decline, why doesn't Your Majesty wait first and see how far these grain merchants will raise the price?" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jing suspiciously: "But once you let it go, I'm afraid that the world will be dry of firewood." ”

"Please give your majesty a month, and within a month, the minister promises...... This food price will return to rock bottom. Zhang Jingyi said confidently: "The minister receives the grace of His Majesty, and only today is there today, and the minister will never live up to the emperor's grace." Now that the price of food can no longer be suppressed, why not try the minister's method? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse still looked suspicious.

Sun Chengzong, who was on the side, said unceremoniously: "Hmph, okay, since you said that you can solve the problem by letting the grain merchants go." So, the old man asked you, if the price of grain can't come down after a month, do you dare to use the head as a guarantee? ”

"Don't dare!" Zhang Jingyi didn't think for a second.

thought that Zhang Jing would follow Sun Chengzong's words and make a military order, who knows...... This guy replied so crisply.

Zhang Jingyi was calm.

I'm not stupid, am I kidding? If there is any deviation in the middle, you and I will be two?

Sun Chengzong: "......"
