This person is too strong but insists on eating the empress' soft rice

Chapter 31

At this time, Luo Hongyan sighed faintly, but it made Ye Chen feel extremely distressed.

Because during this period of getting along, he has already understood Luo Hongyan's temper.

As an emperor, she cared about the people and always put the country's affairs in her heart.

This kind of conscientious attitude should be extremely rare even among the virtuous kings and masters in Ye Chen's previous life.

So this made Ye Chen start to love the woman in front of him even more.

So Ye Chen started to use his own brain, trying to solve the current problem for Luo Hongyan.

After thinking about the history books he had read, Ye Chen had a rough understanding of some of the problems he might face when famine strikes.

So I heard Ye Chen ask Luo Hongyan: "Hongyan, in the whole market, the price of food should be so high, right?"

"That's right, many grain merchants are now hoarding grain, and they are deliberately raising the price of grain."

Thinking of this, Luo Hongyan felt a very headache.

Then she continued: "But I can't forcibly put a knife on their necks and force them to put food."

At this time, after hearing Luo Hongyan's concerns, Ye Chen only thought about it for a moment and already thought of a solution.

"Hongyan, your consideration of the problem is still a bit too one-sided. If you really want to get food from the grain merchants, there are still some ways."

When Luo Hongyan heard the words, her eyes immediately brightened.

She knew that Ye Chen had always had a lot of tricks, so she asked him, "What good ideas do you have? Tell me about it."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, but this time he didn't make a fool of himself.

He only heard him say: "Since you said that you can't come hard with the grain merchants, then come softly. If you insist, you can exchange grain with them."

"If I had food, why would I need to exchange it with them?"

Ye Chen hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Hongyan, listen to me, I mean I want you to trade with them, but it's just two months later in exchange for grain, one stone and a half for one stone, do you think they will?" promise?"

After listening to Ye Chen's idea, Luo Hongyan also calmed down instantly.

At this time, she was seriously thinking about Ye Chen's idea.

After a while, she realized that Ye Chen's idea was really great.

Because judging from the current market price, grain merchants must think that the price of grain will be even higher two months later.

But if the potato production can really be supplied in large quantities as Ye Chen said.

At that time, the price of grain will definitely drop rapidly, and it should be more than enough to pay back those grain merchants.

Seeing that Luo Hongyan was almost thinking about it, Ye Chen explained further from the side.

"After you borrow grain from grain merchants, you sell it at a [-]% discount on the market price, so that the people will not starve to death. After two months, the potato production will increase greatly, and you can return it to the grain at a low grain price. Merchants, won’t this solve the problem?”

During Ye Chen's explanation, Luo Hongyan's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Because she discovered that if she followed Ye Chen's idea,

Not only were they able to successfully solve the famine problem, but they were also able to make profits of tens of millions of taels of silver.

It was no wonder that Luo Hongyan was a little restless at this moment.

Then she left from here quickly, and said to Ye Chen before leaving.

"If your idea is successfully realized, then I can promise you a condition."

After Luo Hongyan finished speaking, her figure disappeared from Fengming Palace.

Ye Chen was also a little speechless.

If he wanted to know that Luo Hongyan would run away as soon as she got the method, he would tell the other party this idea later.

After the beauty left, Ye Chen didn't have the heart to bask in the sun by the pond anymore.

After Luo Hongyan returned to Chaotian Palace, she started to get busy this season.

Because after thinking about it briefly, Luo Hongyan felt that Ye Chen's method was really wonderful.

In the entire Great Grain Dynasty, there are a total of seven major grain merchants.

These seven major grain merchants are all existences other than official grain.

They control most of the grain transactions in the world of the Great Moat God Dynasty.

If all the seven major grain merchants can be dealt with, then Ye Chen's method can really be fully implemented.

And among the seven major grain merchants, five of Liangshang's headquarters are all in Dacha Emperor City.

In the end, Luo Hongyan quickly issued an order to directly summon the heads of the five major grain merchants headquartered in the imperial city to the imperial palace.

The principals of the five major grain merchants were all a little confused when they saw Luo Hongyan.

Because although they know what they are doing now.

However, she didn't understand why Luo Hongyan summoned them directly.

Because according to the speculation of these grain merchants, even if the imperial court wants to rectify, they should also participate in the judicial department.

I have never heard of such a situation where His Majesty the Emperor summoned a grain merchant.

But even though they were speculating in their hearts, they didn't dare to show any disrespect on the surface at this moment.

The five principals respectfully found Luo Hongyan and bowed down.

"Caomin greets His Majesty!"

Although they said that some of them didn't understand why Luo Hongyan called her to come over, the hearts of the chief executives were not too flustered.

Because the five of them are also very clear that the current chaos in Dachao Dynasty still depends on their grain merchants.

If Luo Hongyan really wants to force them, their major grain merchants don't suggest joining forces to push up the price of grain again.

At that time, even the imperial court will definitely be in a panic.

Besides, their major grain merchants have always been operating in accordance with the law, so the emperor would not send troops to oppress them.

This kind of violence has never happened in the Dacha Dynasty.

And Luo Hongyan's attitude at this time was indeed somewhat beyond the expectations of these five people.

There was a faint smile on that rosy face, and she said to the five people: "The five are exempt."

Then he ordered to the servants: "Hurry up and grant the seat!"

Soon some family members moved five chairs and let the five principals do it.

At this time, Luo Hongyan began to continue: "Now our gods are facing a famine, and the people are miserable. I called you here today to discuss a business with you."

After hearing Luo Hongyan's words, the principals of the five major grain merchants felt confused.

However, I still plan to wait and see.

They all said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

Luo Hongyan said at this time: "I want to borrow food from you, and I can return the food to you with [-] times the amount after two months."
