But if someone is forced to do something, he will be unable to do it. He will be able to fight to death and dare to pull the emperor off.

Tan Qian, the Minister of Rites, took the lead in making an attack, "I dare to ask His Highness the King of Jin that His Majesty had suspended the capital from the previous edict, which was caused by the advice of the Chief Auxiliary and other officials. It was only suspended and there was no intention of abolishing... Why, His Highness the King of Jin wants to make the decision for His Majesty?"

When Li Dingguo heard this, he was furious and shouted, "Shameless villain... Do you dare to provoke the king and the ministers?"

At this time, Zhang Dai, the Minister of Personnel, stepped out and faced Li Dingguo's fingers and said solemnly: "His Highness King Jin calmed down... If you abolish the capital of Xincheng as Your Highness said, can you understand that the court does not need to place a mansion for more than 200 former Yongli court officials in Xincheng?"

"You...!" Li Dingguo was blinded by Zhang Dai's words, and his fingers trembled with anger.

At this time, Xu Fuyuan, the Minister of Personnel, came out to finish the attack. He said leisurely: "It is related to the welfare of colleagues in the court, and it is also related to the prosperity of trade in Jiangnan, and the people's living and working in peace... King of Jin, the land price of Songjiang Mansion... has to be saved!"

Li Dingguo thought for a while and said loudly: "...Ma Shiying and Song An and the other two had a lot of harvests in Shuntian Prefecture, with more than 30,000 acres of land and nearly 10 million taels of silver, which was enough to accommodate the ministers in the court... Even if there was a shortage, just a little more, so why should we use the silver from the treasury to save the market?"

As soon as these words were said, many people's faces changed drastically and their hearts sank.

Yes, the gains of Ma Shiying and Song An in Shuntian Prefecture did solve the dilemma of the court due to the lack of land in Songjiang Prefecture. But if the court did not rescue the market, more people would die in the future, including many people in the palace at this time.

Fortunately, Xu Fuyuan's expression remained unchanged, and his words directly forced Li Dingguo to retreat.

Xu Fuyuan said this, "...The King of Jin means that with the horse and the two masters Song’s harvest in Shuntian Prefecture, can the court immediately move the capital to the new city?"

This is heartbreaking, but it is indeed correct. The emperor's original intention of postponing the movement of the capital was that the court has not yet resettled land for more than a thousand court officials and nearly ten thousand officials in the capital. So now, should we move the capital?

This is equivalent to directly baking Li Dingguo on the flames of confronting the emperor head-on!

Li Dingguo was stunned. After a while, he paused and sighed, walked back to the front of the queue silently, and said nothing again.

Wu Zheng on the dragon throne had no trace of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness on his face.

Seeing Li Dingguo retreating, Wu Zheng slowly glanced around and asked, "Do you still have any objections to the rescue of the market... the officials in the palace?"

Mao Xiang suddenly stepped out and bowed to Wu Zheng solemnly, "Your Majesty... The land price of Songjiang Prefecture collapsed, it seems to be just a place for a mansion, but it actually concerns the whole world... If the land price falls again, all the land-stocking partners will lose all their money, and even their families will be destroyed... Although the tyrants deserve the crime, their loans from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and Hanming Bank will become bad debts... In this way, it will inevitably affect the operation of most workshops in Jiangnan and the livelihoods of countless people... Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to issue an order to save the market!"

Mao Xiang was indeed awesome, and he pinched the main pulse of this matter as soon as he made a move.

He directly transferred the main reason for rescuing the city from the temporary relocation of the capital to saving the economy and people's welfare in Jiangnan. In this way, he had absolute righteousness!

The quietness in the hall was enough to hear the needle. Nearly a thousand pairs of eyes looked at Wu Zheng, and the expectation in his eyes was beyond words.

Wu Zhenghe said, "Since there is no objection, then let's do it... I agree to it!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers in the hall knelt down and shouted.

It can be seen that this praise is definitely sincere.

Wu Zheng raised his hand and pressed it, saying, "Don't be anxious first, wait until I finish my words... I have agreed to rescue the market, but in the first place, my treasury is empty, and the shares of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce under my name and the court's name have been sold out. All the money obtained is handed over to Mao Xiang for the second Northern Expedition. You all know... So, where does the money for rescue come from?"

The hall suddenly became silent. After a while, the whispers started to whisper again.

Xu Fuyuan came out and reported: "Your Majesty... The harvest of Ma and Song in Northern Zhili before... the land cannot be sold, but the silver... can be used to save the market!"

Mao Xiang shook his head, "I'm afraid that the land price of Songjiang Mansion can't be afforded by just seven or eight million taels of silver... Even at this price of five hundred taels per mu, this amount of silver can only be purchased, and you must know that the land price will rise with the purchase!"

Wu Zheng just listened, with no expression on his face.

Zhang Huangyan suddenly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty... I think that saving the market does not necessarily require continuing to raise land prices... Just protecting the land prices will not continue to fall!"

This made many people in the palace change their faces drastically. They do not protect the price or raise the price. This means that the land price will be maintained around 500 taels. Then, the land price that has been cut in half will become a fact. The lost wealth will not be returned for one year, two years, or maybe ten years.

Many people are ready to move.

Wu Zheng sat high and coughed dryly when he saw this, "Cough... After hearing this, I think what Zhang Huangyan said is reasonable. The price 7 or 8 million taels of silver is definitely not enough. The price protection is a bit reasonable... Zhang Huangyan, I think your strategy is good!"

Zhang Huangyan took advantage of the situation and bowed, "Thank you Your Majesty to praise!"

Well, with the emperor's entrustment, the person who was ready to move could only swallow the words that had already reached their mouths.

Wu Zheng coughed lightly again, "My husbands... A Songjiang Prefecture with high land prices cannot become the Kyoto of the Han and Ming dynasties... Just imagine, how many people in the world can afford a thousand taels and one acre of land... All the people often advised that they would reopen the imperial examination. Let me ask, how can a new Jinshi with more than a thousand subjects gain a foothold in Kyoto... This is to cut off the road to recruit talents in the imperial court!"

This made many people's faces change even more. They figured out the meaning of the emperor's words. If the land price of Songjiang Prefecture is high, it will not be designated Kyoto. This means that the land price of Songjiang Prefecture will never be possible to return to more than a thousand taels.

If it falls to seven or eight hundred taels in the first wave, it will basically be able to withstand it. After all, the land you buy slowly from a low price is nothing more than making money or making less money. But at this time, it falls below five hundred taels, and basically everyone who hoards the land will lose money.

But over there, the emperor was already making a statement about closing the case, "...I think what Zhang Huangyan said was a conspiracy to the country, and the silver from the treasury could not be carried by the profiteering merchants who hoarded land and made huge profits... Mao Xiang, when the silver raised by Ma Shiying arrived, this matter will be done according to Zhang Huangyan's wishes!"

Mao Xiang was slightly surprised. The emperor took a compromise plan. He didn't help each other. He was so smart!

Instead of letting the monarch and ministers in the palace make a fuss to the end, it is better to take a step back.

Then he took the lead in bowing down and shouted in unison with the ministers, "Your Majesty's wise!"

But this time, the swearing together was obviously not as good as the previous one, because many people were so distressed that they wanted to cry!
