I am invincible in the Empress Palace!

Ye Chen frowned and said, "Hongyan, even if the paper from Thousand Islands is not exported, it shouldn't cause the price of paper to soar!"

It soared three times at the beginning, and it may double again in the future, which is really an exaggeration!
"Can't the Lin family be sanctioned?"

Luo Hongyan said with some headaches: "A thousand years ago, the ancestors punished the Lin family and others for various reasons, and directly stopped production, which caused the price of paper to soar to more than ten times that year!"

"There's a lot of trouble!"

Although paper is not as deadly as food, it is extremely important to scholars.

The scientific examination is coming soon, this thing is just needed!

Ye Chen said: "Does the royal family have a paper mill?"

Luo Hongyan nodded: "Of course there is. It's just that the paper made by the royal paper mill is yellowish, easy to break, and the quality is not that good, and it can't be mass-produced at a high price."

It's not that the royal family doesn't want to break this situation, but the paper produced has no market competitiveness and is useless!
Ye Chen wrote a list and handed it to Luo Hongyan.

"Young lady, first ask people to purchase a large amount of raw materials for this."

"I have a new method of making paper, which can produce better paper than Lin's."

Ye Chen said with a smile.

Ye Chen knew what kind of paper the Lin family had, but it was still slightly yellowish!
"Ye Chen, are you serious?"

Luo Hongyan said in shock.

The royal family has long wanted to solve this problem, but it has been unable to solve it!
Ye Chen nodded: "The price of paper made by my method is much cheaper, it should be less than one-third of Lin's paper!"

"It takes a long time to make paper, but if you use the formation method, it should be greatly shortened!"

The papermaking technique rewarded by the system is ordinary papermaking technique. The first step is to soak the bamboo for [-] days!

It is necessary to decompose and wash off the green skin of the bamboo!

This is too time consuming.

If you add formations, this step can be shortened to an hour without any problem!
"These materials are very common, I'll let someone collect them!"

Luo Hongyan quickly issued an order, and with the power of the royal family, a large amount of raw materials could be collected in just one hour.

"Hong Yan, I have written out the specific steps for you."

"According to the above, ordinary people can operate it, the cost is the lowest, and the cost of setting up the formation will be slightly higher."

Ye Chen smiled.

If there is a formation to cooperate, the paper can come out tomorrow!

"Hong Yan, the technology of papermaking should be kept secret. How to keep it secret should not be difficult for you."

Luo Hongyan nodded: "I'm going out for a while!"

Luo Hongyan returned half an hour later, and the Royal Paper Mill had already started to act secretly.

The formation needed is simple and can be done easily.

"Hongyan, the Patriarch of the Lin family asked to see her. Nangong Ning came in to report once, but you were not here."

Luo Hongyan's eyes flickered brightly, the Patriarch of the Lin family was looking for her at this time, and he must put forward conditions again!

"Ye Chen, please avoid it."

"Please come here, Patriarch Lin."

Luo Hongyan said.

Ye Chen nodded and went to the backyard.

The head of the Lin family, Lin Kaiji, arrived in front of Luo Hongyan not long after.

Lin Kaiji is already more than 100 years old, but he has the cultivation base of a god king, and he looks like he is only in his fifties!

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Lin Kaiji cupped his hands but did not kneel down. An ancient family like the Lin family enjoys some privileges.

Luo Hongyan said calmly: "Patriarch Lin, I heard that the price of paper has skyrocketed, what does this mean?"

"I have already paid half the tax to the Lin family, and now the raw materials for papermaking have not increased in price!"

Lin Kaiji said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the price is determined by the market! If the market is short of food, the price of food will rise sharply. If the market is short of paper, the price of paper will naturally rise sharply. It is very common."

Luo Hongyan suppressed her anger and said, "Patriarch Lin, why did you see me?"

"The paper tax is already very low, and it is impossible to lower the tax!"

Lin Kaiji sat down by himself: "Your Majesty, is it okay for me to sit and talk with my back pain?"

Luo Hongyan's eyes flickered coldly.

Lin Kaiji is too presumptuous!

It's a joke for a strong man at the level of a god king to say that he has a back pain!
"Your Majesty, it is entirely possible that the paper tax will be lowered again. This thing is convenient for scholars all over the world, and zero tax is also normal."

"The old man thinks that it can be reduced by half at least on the current basis!"

Lin Kaiji smiled and said that he was confident enough to handle Luo Hongyan.

"In the past, there were no conditions. In the past year, His Majesty has made a lot of money in food, and he has also made a lot of money from the Ota Empire. There is no problem at all if the paper tax is reduced!"

The paper tax was originally 20.00%, but now it is only [-]%.

If you drop it in half, it's only 5.00%!
The Lin family and others can make a lot of money, but the country has to lose a lot of paper tax every year.

"Patriarch Lin, the [-]% paper tax is already very low!"

"The Lin family lowered the price of paper, everything is easy to talk about, otherwise I will take some measures!"

"If the Lin family loses a lot by then, you can't blame me for being ruthless!"

Luo Hongyan said in a deep voice.

Lin Kaiji had a mocking look on his face, he had seen the royal methods many times, which one was successful?

"Your Majesty, if you have the ability, the paper tax will not be reduced four years ago!"

"Your Majesty, the paper tax will be reduced to 5.00% within three days, and it will be reduced to [-]% if it exceeds three days. If it exceeds ten days, Your Majesty, you can only reduce the paper tax to zero!"

Lin Kaiji said arrogantly.

In his opinion, Luo Hongyan was just a little girl, and he didn't pay attention to it at all!

The Lin family is an ancient family with deep ties to many forces, and it is impossible for Luo Hongyan to send someone to raid their home directly!
"Your Majesty, remember, three days!"

"5.00% paper tax is fine!"

Lin Kaiji walked away after speaking.

Luo Hongyan was so angry that her stomach hurt. She backed down four years ago, but Lin Kaiji and the others wanted to force her to back down further!
"Hongyan, Patriarch Lin also had the same attitude before?"

Ye Chen arrived in the front hall where Luo Hongyan was.

Luo Hongyan took a deep breath and said, "Four years ago, my throne was unstable, and the attitude of the Lin family was even worse. Back then, the national treasury was already empty, so reducing the paper tax by half would have a great impact!"

"The Lin family and others may have calculated that the paper tax was reduced by half at most. Now that the treasury has been filled, they have made up their minds again!"

Ye Chen frowned and said, "Hongyan, with Lin Kaiji's attitude, can't the royal family suppress it with thunder?"

Luo Hongyan shook her head: "It's not that easy."

"The Lin family has been passed down for more than 1 years, and has considerable influence in all walks of life. The marriage has made the relationship between the Lin family and many forces complicated, and it affects the whole body!"

"Many royal princesses have married into the Lin family before!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, then he could only use normal business methods to deal with the Lin family!
"Hongyan, how long did you promise before the paper tax?"

Luo Hongyan frowned and said: "Four years, the time is almost up! The Lin family and others have probably planned to lower the paper tax for a long time!"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Hongyan, since the Lin family wants to reduce the paper tax, why not follow their wishes and reduce it to zero percent!"

"Ok?"

Luo Hongyan looked at Ye Chen suspiciously.

Ye Chen said: "Hong Yan, the paper tax has been reduced so much, the Lin family should pay a certain price, right?"

"For example, transfer some paper mills to the royal family haha!"

The royal family has a paper mill, but the scale is small and the production capacity is insufficient!
