The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 51 [051] The first assistant is convinced, Jia Zhen is in full bloom
Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said:

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, let me continue to analyze:
Both big businessmen and small traders are unwilling to sell grain, and they all want to wait until the price reaches the highest point, and then make huge profits. In this case, it is necessary to use the macro-control role of the imperial court. "

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of everyone present became more confused and puzzled. They didn't know what macro-control was at all?
But Jia Qiang continued to say:

"The imperial court can defeat the big merchants and the small merchants one by one, and first allocate a batch of grain to sell to the small merchants. In this way, although the price of grain is still rising, the small merchants have a backlog of too much grain, and the working capital in their hands is insufficient. You have to sell it to the outside world to withdraw funds.”

Huang Lao's eyes lit up, and he lost his voice:
"You want to force small traders to take the lead in selling grain, but the price of grain is so high, can they sell it?"

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said:

"Whether they can sell it or not, the price of grain reached its highest point at the moment they sold it to the outside world. That is to say, from this moment on, the price of grain will not continue to rise."

As soon as these words came out, Huang Lao thought for a while, then figured out the key point, nodded and said: "You are right."

But Mr. Zhang sneered and said:
"However, you only prevented food prices from continuing to rise, but did not lower food prices."

Jia Qiang continued unhurriedly:
"It's just that it hasn't come down for the time being, but Mr. Zhang, have you ever thought that when small traders start selling food, can those big merchants who have hoarded more food be able to sit still?"

Zhang Lao opened his eyes and suddenly realized:
"These big merchants will inevitably sell grain as well."

Jia Qiang nodded and smiled:

"That's right, when these big merchants also start selling grain, the supply of grain on the market will exceed demand. Although the merchants set a high price, but the common people can't afford it, the merchants have to scramble to lower the price until the common people can afford it." As long as you can afford it.

At that time, the famine problem caused by the hoarding of merchants will be solved. "

As the voice fell, there was a sound of gasping and swallowing saliva around.

Mr. Huang was both surprised and delighted. Unexpectedly, this difficult problem that has troubled countless monarchs and ministers in the past dynasties was completely solved by Jia Qiang just talking and laughing!
"Oh!"

Mr. Huang slammed the table and exclaimed, "This guy is a genius!"

Zhang Juzheng stood up suddenly, bowed to Jia Qiang, and said loudly:
"I would like to thank you on behalf of all the people of Daming!"

Jia Qiang stepped forward quickly, helped Mr. Zhang up, and said with a smile:

"Zhang is an old man with high morals and high morals. How can the younger generation afford such a big gift from you? This is going to hurt the younger generation."

Zhang Juzheng's face flushed with excitement, tears filled his eyes, his lips and beard trembled together, he suddenly grabbed Jia Qiang's hand, and tremblingly said:
"I deserve it, I deserve it! Qiang'er is really my Daming's jade pillar that lifts up the sky and bridges the sea and golden beams! With your wonderful plan for disaster relief, how many people can be saved from starving to death in the future? It can be said to be beneficial to the country. People, the merit lies in Qianqiu's clever plan!"

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said:

"Old Zhang is serious, I just had a whim."

Zhang Ju apologized face-on with shame:
"I want to tell Qiang'er annoyed you! I thought you were a useless scholar with sour language and fake vinegar, but I didn't expect that you are a great sage of the country with a heart and a heart!"

Jia Zhen who was next to her had never been hungry, so she couldn't understand the plight of those hungry people, but she was still infected by Zhang Juzheng's emotions, and she was also proud of Jia Qiang.

Qingwen's beautiful eyes twinkled, and she looked at Jia Qiang with admiration and admiration, mixed with a trace of the infatuation of a young girl Huaichun and her first love.

Huang Lao also stood up excitedly, patted Jia Qiang on the shoulder, and praised:

"This is a real unicorn! I... really make me feel so relieved! Qiang'er's ingenious plan can be called the first ingenious plan for disaster relief in Ming Dynasty!"

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said:

"Old Huang's reputation is too high, the juniors don't dare to call themselves the number one, today is the No.1 of Ming Dynasty."

This self-effaced remark hit the right point, inadvertently flattering the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, also known as Huang Lao.

"Haha! Good, very good! He is so humble with a great talent, he can be called a unparalleled national scholar!" Huang Laolong was very happy, and he did not hesitate to praise him.

It was almost noon at this time, Jia Qiang smiled at Huang Lao and said:
"Last time, Mr. Huang asked His Majesty to inscribe a plaque. The mandarin duck hot pot restaurant that he bestowed on my nephew brought more income to my nephew. Today, I want to be a host. I invite Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhang to go to the little nephew. Nephew's Yuanyang hot pot restaurant, I wonder if you two would like to appreciate it?"

As soon as this remark came out, Jia Zhen was taken aback. He didn't know about the plaque bestowed on Jia Qiang by the emperor, so she felt ecstatic in her heart.

You know, the plaques bestowed to the Jia family by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are only six yuan in total.

Today, His Majesty has never bestowed any plaque on the Jia family.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually gave Jia Qiang a plaque.

Unknowingly, Jia Zhen's slightly stooped back straightened completely, and her chin lifted a bit, feeling extremely proud and proud.

He changed his mind, Jia Qiang was His Majesty's own son, and it was reasonable for His Majesty to grant him a plaque.

But for the Jia family, this can definitely be regarded as a major event for the glorious lintel!
Hearing Jia Qiang's warm invitation, Mr. Huang smiled heartily and said:

"It's so good, I really like eating the Yuanyang hot pot you invented!"

Zhang Juzheng has never eaten mandarin duck hot pot before, he smiled with great interest:

"Then the old man is also enjoying the glory with Huang Lao, what is it like to taste this delicacy that Huang Lao raved about?"

"Please!" Jia Qiang led Huang Lao, Zhang Lao and Jia Zhen to Yuanyang Hot Pot Restaurant.

After Zhang Juzheng tasted the mandarin duck hot pot, his appetite whetted and he was full of praise. His affection for and attention to Jia Qiang deepened again.

After drinking and eating, the host and guest broke up happily.

On the way back to the palace, Zhu Yijun thought to himself:

Let's tell Zhang Juzheng about Jia Qiang's identity as the prince later.

Zhang Shoufu has been shocked too much today, and Zhu Yijun is worried that if he tells this explosive news to this elderly man, his blood will surge, his heart will beat fast, his whole body will convulse, and he will pass out, or he will burp.

However, Zhang Juzheng suddenly said earnestly:
"Your Majesty, Jia Qiang is a great talent in the country. I suggest that His Majesty appoint him an official position, so that he will have the opportunity to display his talents and benefit the common people."

Huang Lao said with a meaningful smile:

"Zhang Shoufu, didn't you say that the Jia family used to be a duke of two kingdoms, with former students and old officials all over the government and the public, and now that the power of the Jia family has been weakened with great difficulty, shouldn't you support the Jia family?"

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile:

"At this time, at that time! Now that the Jia family is declining day by day, and the threat to His Majesty is getting smaller and smaller, but unexpectedly, the Jia family has produced a peerless genius. Although we still have to beware of the Jia family, we can't give up because of choking. Jia Qiang, the ovary of this life, is the next generation of Zhuge."

Huang Laolong was overjoyed, he laughed heartily and said:
"It seems that Zhang Shoufu has a very high opinion of Jia Qiang, and even compares him with Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang. Good! I will seriously consider Zhang Shoufu's suggestion."

On the other side, when Jia Qiang returned to Luxue Temple, Liu Xianglian and Bao Yong were already waiting for him in the main hall.

Liu Xianglian clasped her fists and said:

"Brother Qiang, Bao Yong and I have found out the whereabouts of that person."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Qiang's eyes lit up, she immediately made a silent gesture, led Liu Xianglian and Bao Yong into the back room, closed the door and window, and asked in a low voice:

"Which inn does Nurhachi live in?"
