Chapter 519: Continue the Work

The entire crowd erupted.

Hundreds of thousands.

Cheering and leaping with joy.

Resolved!

Finally resolved!

The Blockage of the Ship, which had plagued them for so long and caused them, the merchants, to lose who knows how much money, had just been resolved like that.

The questioning and mockery directed at the Prefect of Liangzhou over these three days vanished in an instant.

Adoration!

Worship!

It had even become a faith.

What kind of person is this Prefect of Liangzhou, really?

With him here, is there anything in this world that cannot be resolved?

The Prince of Yong bowed deeply: "Prefect of Liangzhou, your merit will last for ages; the people of the world will not forget!"

Liu Zheng hurriedly returned the bow. In truth, he felt a sense of relief at this moment. Before coming, although he had been quite confident, he had boasted that he would settle it within three days, and he hadn't had much certainty.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

Everything was just right.

Everything was just perfect.

He laughed: "Prince of Yong, regarding the matter of the merchants' compensation..."

The Prince of Yong hurriedly said: "I will handle it, I will handle it! I will negotiate with them! This small matter can be settled in Hanzhong! Please, Prefect of Liangzhou, go attend to your business!"

He knew that there were still variables within Liangzhou, and Liu Zheng naturally needed to rush back, so he did not intend to hold him back.

Liu Zheng expressed his gratitude once more.

Looking at that group from the Ministry of Works, there was no sign of them left; they had long since sailed away.

Liu Zheng gave a wry smile.

Why go to such lengths?

He had not wanted to offend too many people, especially those from Jinghua. It is better to avoid trouble than to invite it, but when one is in the world of men, one is often not the master of one's own actions. It seemed that a grudge had been formed with the Ministry of Works this time. This added many variables to his upcoming trip to Jinghua.

"Set sail, return to Liangzhou!"

Liu Zheng waved his hand.

And so, those few Yinzhou warships left Longqi Gorge amidst the cheers and farewells of the people.

Only then did Jiang Xuan appear behind Liu Zheng again, showering him with endless flattery.

Liu Zheng laughed and scolded: "Stop the nonsense; it is time to go back and see what kind of state our Third Prince is in now."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Xie Ling.

At this moment, he was on the verge of a breakdown.

He grabbed his subordinate by the collar and roared: "What did you say? Say it again!"

The subordinate was covered in sweat: "Your Highness, Longqi Gorge is clear!"

Boom!

Xie Ling felt as if he had been struck by lightning; he was so shocked he could not even stand, stumbling back a few steps before finally collapsing into his chair.

Longqi Gorge, clear!

The Blockage of the Ship had actually been resolved by the Prefect of Liangzhou!

How many days?

Three days!

It had only taken him three days!

He knew what this news meant for him at this moment. He knew what it meant for the situation in Liangzhou right now.

He knew.

These wealthy merchants naturally knew as well. When they heard the news, their reactions were much like Xie Ling's; they were anxious and frantic, pacing back and forth in the hall.

"This, this, this..."

"How could it be, how could it suddenly be like this?"

"Wasn't it said..."

"Your Highness..."

One by one, they were all panicked now.

Suddenly, some felt this was a conspiracy! This was a conspiracy! It couldn't be such a coincidence; why was it that just as the territories of the five Feudatory Kings over there acknowledged the legal circulation of the Yinzhou Coin, the Blockage of the Ship over here was resolved?

These two major pieces of good news directly stimulated the price of the Yinzhou Coin at this moment.

Skyrocketing!

The market was in chaos by now.

It was more than just chaos.

It was a scene of slaughter!

People were shoving, fighting, and cursing each other; if Liu Zheng hadn't already equipped the trading market with security forces, a brawl would have broken out long ago!

"How is it possible, how is it possible..."

"We're rich, we're rich!"

"Keep going, keep going, do it!"

"Listen to me, it will rise again, it will rise again, hurry and buy the dip!"

"Buy!"

The people here were all crazy.

The Yinzhou Coin, which had fallen to a bottom of one and a half gold, was pulled back to two and a half gold that very day!

What kind of concept was this?

It had directly doubled!

Those who made money were making it like crazy.

Those who lost money had lost it all.

But this still could not stop the continuous, violent surge of the Yinzhou Coin. At this moment, it happened that Xie Ling had just sold off a large amount of Yinzhou Coin. The Yinzhou Coin began to fall into the hands of these retail investors, immediately stirring up a storm.

The next day.

The situation remained the same.

By this time, Xie Ling had fallen ill, his face pale, but he still walked out, trembling.

This group of worried-looking wealthy men was still waiting for him.

"Your Highness..."

"We..."

Xie Ling roared angrily: "What are you panicking about? Do it!"

"Keep doing it for me!"

"When it was at six gold, we could all afford to do it, so why can't we afford to do it now?"

"Do it!"

His final shout was still roared out with all his might.

The group of wealthy men was speechless.

Still do it?

For these past few days, they had been constantly driving down the price; it was simply a game of harming others without benefiting themselves. They were gambling, gambling that Yintan City could not afford to play, that Yintan City could not outplay the massive funds in their hands!

But now...

They sensed a trace of something wrong.

"There is still so much money, smash it!"

"Smash it!"

"They are just having a final burst of energy before death, listen to me, keep smashing it in, and they will be finished! They will collapse!"

Xie Ling was acting like a madman.

These wealthy men from all over Longyan looked at each other.

That's right.

They had already reached this point.

What else could they do besides continue?

Keep smashing!

Keep driving down the price!

On this day, the Yinzhou Coin market completely entered a state of being out of control.

Yintan City.

Qingyang Shuo and Zheng Yue Ru finally looked at each other and smiled, breathing a sigh of relief.

The Young Master is, as expected, still the Young Master.

Your grandfather is, as expected, still your grandfather.

Precise positioning!

Precise strike!

Within one day, two pieces of good news directly saved the Yinzhou Coin.

"One more is missing..."

Qingyang Shuo laughed heartily.

Zheng Yue Ru also smiled demurely.

It should be tomorrow, right?

Three days later.

Liu Zheng finally returned to Liangzhou Prefecture.

"Young Master!"

"Prefect Liu!"

"Prefect Liu is domineering!"

Over there, they lined the streets to see him off; here, the common people lined the streets to welcome him.

Prefect Liu had once again become the hero of Liangzhou.

During this period, the common people had also suffered greatly from the Blockage of the Ship, with grain prices soaring and social unrest. At that time, everyone was thinking of Prefect Liu. As expected, Prefect Liu did not let them down. He solved such a major issue in three days.

With such a Young Master, the future of Liangzhou is promising!

Liu Zheng returned all the way to Liangzhou Prefecture.

Liu Dahao and Grand Eunuch Zhou, along with a crowd of civil and military officials, had already come out to greet them.

Grand Eunuch Zhou could not help but sigh: "Prefect Liu, you truly are a god among men!"

Liu Zheng chuckled: "I couldn't let Grand Eunuch Zhou suffer a loss, could I?"

Grand Eunuch Zhou laughed heartily.

A few days ago, when the Yinzhou Coin dropped to one and a half gold, he had indeed been terribly depressed. How many times had his assets shrunk? He and many bigwigs in Jinghua belonged to those who held their currency and watched from the sidelines; they could not openly join in the trading of Yinzhou Coin.

But he was still worried: "I hear the Third Prince's side is counterattacking quite fiercely. This Yinzhou Coin, when will it ever return to above six gold?"

Liu Zheng gave a mysterious smile: "Tomorrow."

"Ah?"

Grand Eunuch Zhou's eyes lit up: "Prefect Liu still has a trump card?"

Liu Zheng and Liu Dahao exchanged a look, then laughed out loud.

At the same time, they looked toward the ward where Feng Sanniang and Xie Chan were.

A person as slick and worldly as Grand Eunuch Zhou understood in an instant.

He looked horrified: "You, you, you wouldn't... that, that, the Princess, she..."
