Wei Zhongxian has been outside the palace these days, all for the price of food.

At this time, he politely said, "Your Majesty, the grain merchants in the capital, and all the servants ordered them to open the door. To serve as a warning, I copied a grain merchant..."

call……

At least, the situation of people buying grain has eased.

“Where is the price of grain?”

"The food price has been calmed down, now it's three taels and one stone."

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

Emperor Tianqi was overjoyed and said, "It's so good."

Huang Liji was also happy.

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

"Zhang Jingyi said that the price of grain cannot be suppressed. Look... this is not suppressed. When Zhang Jingyi comes, I will take a look, he is embarrassed or not."

Emperor Tianqi said to Wei Zhongxian: "Wei's companion has made great contributions."

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

"Just what?"

Wei Zhongxian paused and said, "I may be anxious, so... I heard... I heard..."

Wei Zhongxian seemed unspeakable, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "The prince-in-law Ran Xingrang, because of the urging of his servant, hanged himself last night. I am afraid that the news of his death will soon be transmitted to the palace."

Emperor Tianqi was stunned. Ran Xingrang was the husband of Princess Shouning. In short, he was his uncle!

So Emperor Aoki frowned and said, "How did he get involved?"

"I took people to search several grain merchants overnight, one of them... I realized later that this had a close relationship with the son-in-law Ran Xingrang. After I searched, the Ran Duwei was said to be angry all night. In the early morning, someone came to report that he had hanged himself."

Emperor Aoki took a breath.

He could almost imagine that his aunt would soon enter the palace to seek death.

Only one grain merchant can be closely related to the prince-in-law, which shows the behind these grain merchants...

Emperor Tianqi was both guilty and embarrassed for a moment. In any case, he was a person who valued feelings and felt more or less guilty towards his aunt.

But at this time... Emperor Tianqi had to say coldly: "At this point, I don't care about this much, and Wei's partner is innocent."

Wei Zhongxian also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Wei Zhongxian was sent to the prince-in-law Ran Xing. He knew very well that if he didn't force a few royal relatives to death, those grain merchants would never restrain themselves.

As he was speaking, an eunuch outside said, "Report to Your Majesty, Zhang Baihu has arrived."

"Call in."

At this time, Emperor Tianqi no longer had the joy of calming the price of food, and his heart was heavy.

When Zhang Jing came in, he saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianqi's face relaxed: "Zhang Qing doesn't have to be too polite. Today... I have a memorial here to impeach you and say you are at the price of food..."

"Your Majesty, when you enter the palace with humility, you want to discuss the price of food." Zhang Jingyi said seriously.

Emperor Tianqi was stunned and continued: "There is no need to discuss the price of grain. This matter has been resolved by Wei Baobao."

"Is that?" Zhang Jingyi was obviously prepared and said, "But as far as I am aware, the matter has not been resolved, and it has become increasingly serious. The food price in the capital has reached six or three cents of silver and one stone."

"It's absolutely impossible!" Wei Zhongxian's face changed. Isn't this questioning that we are not doing things well?

Wei Zhongxian said with a tense face and firmly: "When we entered the palace, it was obvious that we had three taels of silver and one stone."

"Is that?" Zhang Jing smiled and said, "But based on my inquiry, the situation is different. The grain stores on the market have indeed opened doors, and the price of each listed is indeed three taels of silver, but..."

As Zhang Jing said, he actually brought a small baggage: "These three taels of silver... are selling such rice."

The burden shook and everyone looked at it carefully.

Then I saw a pile of rotten grains mixed with gravel falling out of the bag.

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

Zhang Jing said, "Your Majesty, this is the grain of three taels per stone now! In a pound of grain, half a pound of stone is stone, and half a pound of rotten grain is. Such grain is fed to livestock, and the animals are not eaten. But now... the factory guards explicitly ordered that three taels of silver and one stone of grain be sold. Otherwise, they would be severely punished and refused to lend money. So overnight, the rice shops sold such rice."

Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he smoked in his seven orifices. Such rice was obviously not edible.

Wei Zhongxian's face was gone, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty... I... I'll check it out again."

After working so many days, he forced a prince consort to death, searched several rice merchants, and the factory guards came out in full swing, and it was Wei Zhongxian who took action himself...

Just tormented this?

Sun Chengzong was already furious and did not care about Zhang Jingyi's affairs. He sternly said: "The grain merchant is so hateful that it is so awkward. Can the court sit and watch?"

Huang Liji also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty..."

Zhang Jingyi said seriously: "Your Majesty, I think this is an inevitable result... Just based on Brother Wei, the price of grain cannot be suppressed."

Emperor Tianqi glanced at Zhang Jingyi and couldn't help but say, "So... what do you think?"

Zhang Jing looked confident and said, "Even if the person killed today is ten times or a hundred times that of Brother Wei, as long as the world lacks food, the price of grain will only continue to rise. So... if you want to truly solve the current problem, you must follow the trend."

"Follow the trend?" Emperor Tianqi stared at Zhang Jingyi, his eyes full of confusion.

Zhang Jingyi continued, "The so-called prosperity and decline, why don't Your Majesty wait a moment before waiting, and see how much these grain merchants raise the price?"

Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jing suspiciously and said, "But once you let it go, I'm afraid the world will be in danger."

"Please give me a month. Within one month, I guarantee that... the price of grain will return to the bottom of the valley." Zhang Jingyi said confidently: "I will receive the grace of Your Majesty. Only when I receive the grace of my Majesty, I will never let the emperor down. Since the price of grain can no longer be suppressed, why not try my method?"

Emperor Aoki still looked suspicious.

However, Sun Chengzong, who was standing by, said bluntly: "Hmph, okay, since you say that you can let the grain merchants go, you can solve the problem. Then, I ask you, if the grain price cannot be reduced in one month, will you, Zhang Jingyi, dare to use the cap as a guarantee?"

"I dare not!" Zhang Jingyi thought without a second.

I thought Zhang Jing would follow Sun Chengzong's words and issue a military order, but who would know... this guy's answer was so straightforward.

Zhang Jingyi looked calm.

I'm not stupid, are you kidding? If there is any deviation in the middle, do you think I'm a second?
