Chapter 139: Ultimate Move(1/2)
Emperor Tianqi acted in an unruly manner, but in fact, he was much more intelligent than his brother, Emperor Chongzhen, in history.
Emperor Chongzhen was straight and impatient. In his innocent world, the world was divided into good people and bad people.
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne and the first thing he did was to be the magistrate of the court. When the ministers understood his character, they would only brag about how honest and upright he was.
But Emperor Aoki is different. He has insight into many things, but he will never make a sound easily.
But his lack of voice does not mean that he does not know.
This time, he was very dissatisfied with the Ministry of Revenue and knew that there were many shady stories within the Ministry of Revenue!
But he has not made any noise. Not saying anything does not mean he knows nothing, but he knows very well that exposing the scar in times of crisis in the country will only make the court worse.
This time, directly hitting Li Qiyuan in front of the ministers was already called merciless, because Emperor Tianqi had the confidence.
At this time, the ministers were solemn.
They suddenly realized that the Apocalypse Emperor was not just the young emperor who was controlled by the nine thousand years old as they imagined and was ignorant of the world.
Today's beating against Li Qiyuan not only showed the control of the young emperor who was not visible, but also showed his sharpness.
Emperor Tianqi did not say much about Li Qiyuan anymore, but said: "This sweet potato is a treasure in the world, but it is worthless. It is said that it is worthless. In the future, food like my Ming Dynasty will be flooded. Even ordinary people can eat it openly. But if it is said that it is worth a thousand gold, it is because I have obtained this treasure and can consolidate the country. Such a rare treasure... Zhang Qing's family, you can take it out a thousand pounds, and I will distribute it to the ministers. You take it back and taste it again. Not only do you have to taste it yourself, but you also have to think about it. Although the Chen father and son are commoners, they have the country and the people. Think about Zhang Jingyi, a mere family of Jinyiwei, but they always have the desire to repay the people. Think about yourself, and think about what you have received the national favor and what they are like in your daily life."
"In addition, after returning home, share food for your wives and children. This is my grace. It is a grace that you should share with your family. The so-called prosperity and loss are all the same. This is the principle."
All the ministers understood, so they automatically ignored the prosperity and prosperity, but only chewed on the loss of one another, and they all said it was.
Emperor Tianqi continued, "Oh, look, the weather seems to be very bad, I'm afraid it will rain again. Alas, I'm leaving the capital and I wanted to worship my ancestors. But why would God be better? What should I do?"
"Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian immediately said, "Your Majesty has filial piety in his heart, and his ancestors and ancestors have spirits in heaven, how can you not know? This filial piety is hidden in your heart. Your Majesty has everything he wants. If you really have no time, you might as well order the ministers to worship the tombs of the former emperor on their behalf. The former emperors learned that Your Majesty had the people in the world and worked day and night, and they didn't know how happy they should be."
Emperor Apocalypse smiled and said, "Is this OK?"
Of course, this is not what Wei Zhongxian said.
The ministers' faces were numb.
Zhang Jingyi guessed that their mental state was: Damn, if you don’t want to go up the mountain, you don’t want to go up the mountain, do our bird business, and ask us what we do?
The ministers were still above the Tao and said one after another: "The country is in trouble, and I can't live without Your Majesty. I beg your Majesty to get up and return to the palace to plan for the country."
Emperor Tianqi sighed and said, "That's it, then I will follow my good deeds. Zhang Qing, you can go back to the capital with me."
Zhang Jingyi was not polite and nodded.
On that day, Emperor Tianqi went back to Xiyuan.
However, Zhang Jingyi returned to his new county without stopping.
In fact, the capital was in full swing that day.
The yield per mu is 2,000 kilograms.
The dukes saw it with their own eyes.
It is the staple food.
This grain is drought-resistant.
The capital is boiling.
At least most people are excited.
Even people in this capital have memories of hunger.
Who doesn’t want anyone who has tasted hunger?… There is a kind of food in the world that can be eaten open.
But... not everyone is happy.
For example……
Wu Wenlong was stunned.
As a grain merchant, he only believes in one principle: things are precious because they are rare.
If the grain can produce 2,000 kilograms per mu, what profit is there?
The most important thing is... he has hoarded a lot of food.
After hearing the news, he immediately went to the Li family.
And at this time, it will be late.
The servants of the Li family directly carried the lantern and led Wu Wenlong to the Li family's back house.
Here, there is a building called Yanyu Tower.
Inside the building, the lights are brightly lit.
Wu Wenlong entered the building carefully.
He saw that Li Qiyuan, the Minister of Revenue, was sitting upright at the dining table, where two pairs of bowls and chopsticks were already placed.
Wu Wenlong said excitedly: "Master..."
Li Qiyuan only pressed his hands and signaled him to sit down.
After Wu Wenlong sat down, he lowered his head, but found that the bowl in front of him was yellow and orange porridge.
Wu Wenlong said in confusion: "This is..."
"You try it first."
Wu Wenlong nodded and raised his chopsticks. The porridge water tasted sweet and delicious. After eating half of it, Wu Wenlong finally realized: "Is this the rumored sweet potato?"
"What do you think?"
"It can fill the stomach and taste sweet."
Li Qiyuan sighed: "Today, His Majesty hit me hard, which is really unsettling."
"Master, these foods..."
Li Qiyuan had finished drinking the porridge. The girl on the side cleaned up the dishes for him. On the other side, a girl handed him a brocade handkerchief.
Li Qiyuan is a clean person. After wiping his mouth, he slowly said: "Speak lighter, be careful of ears in the wall."
As he said that, when the girls dispersed, he sighed and said, "It's really terrifying. Are you here for food?"
"Yes." After Wu Wenlong had eaten this porridge, he could already be convinced that the rumors were true.
At this moment, he felt even more anxious inside, and finally couldn't help saying, "Look...our food..."
Li Qiyuan said, "I was a little panicked at first, but afterwards, it was wrong. If this grain was planted on a large scale, would I, the Minister of Revenue, not know? After thinking about it, this grain would be promoted, and that will happen two years later. Far away water cannot save the near thirst."
When Wu Wenlong heard this, he was surprised and said, "That's what it means, this year..."
Li Qiyuan said calmly: "Okay, I'm just talking about so much, you can do it yourself."
Wu Wenlong knew that this was the order to expel guests, but after hearing what Li Qiyuan said, he finally calmed down and stood up and said, "The villain understands."
On that day, there was no abnormal movement in the grain prices.
In fact, all grain merchants are now secretly speculating.
After a difficult night.
Grain merchants came to the chamber of the chamber of commerce one after another.
Everyone was looking forward to Chen Moyan and some of the big grain merchants coming.
Anyone with experts knows that Chen Moyan and others have their own information channels, and their channels are more informative than anyone else, and they have strong capital and confidence in this kind of big grain.
Sure enough, although it was not like the tacit understanding of the past three days, today, because there was a reason for the incident, Chen Moyan and several grain merchants came.
As usual, Chen Moyan... still sat upright and drank tea in an inconspicuous corner.
The only difference is that when the tea is finished, he actually stood up and said to the grain merchants: "Everyone, I have a word, so you might as well listen quietly."
Grain merchants looked at Chen Moyan one after another.
Chen Moyan said calmly: "Who wants to sell food? How much does it cost to eat in my Chen family?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people were calm.
It seems...that sweet potato will not affect the grain prices this year.
Everyone laughed.
Someone said: "Mr. Chen said boldly, so is my husband, as does the same, how much he has and how much he eats."
"That's the most extreme, don't panic, this is just scary."
"I have been doing grain trading for decades, how could I be scared by these mere sweet potatoes?"
"Ha ha……"
For a moment, laughter and joy were heard in the hall.
In fact, this is understandable. After hoarding so much grain, these grains are everyone's lives.
When Zhang Jing calculated who he wanted to reduce the grain price based on this?
But Chen Moyan just smiled and said nothing. He threw a few copper plates on the tea table and left as usual.
