I am invincible in the Empress Palace!

There are seven major grain merchants in the Tianyan Dynasty, and the seven major grain merchants other than official grain control more than [-]% of the country's grain transactions.

Five of the seven major grain merchants are headquartered in Tianyan Emperor City.

Luo Hongyan sent out an order, and soon met the heads of the five major grain merchants headquartered in Tianyan Emperor City.

"See Your Majesty."

The principals of the five major grain merchants saluted. They were sincere and fearful on the surface, but they didn't take it seriously in their hearts.

From their point of view, Luo Hongyan must want them to sell more food!
But the later the price is, the higher the price will be. They will lose money if they sell it in advance, and they are not happy about it!

Luo Hongyan is the emperor, she must give some face when she speaks in person, but they won't give Luo Hongyan too much face!
They operate in accordance with the law, how can Luo Hongyan send troops to deal with them?

"No gift, give a seat!"

Luo Hongyan said indifferently, "The world is famine and the people are in dire straits. I invite you to come over and want to do business with you."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

One of the old men spoke.

Luo Hongyan said: "I borrow food from you, as much as I borrow, and after one month, I will return it to you at [-] times, or pay you money at the market price at that time!"

The five people's eyes lit up!
According to their estimates, the food shortage will be even more serious in one month, and the price will be even higher!

Luo Hongyan borrowed food, and when the time comes, pay them back at [-] times, and they earn money!
"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

The other person looked excited and authentic.

Luo Hongyan looked at the past with cold eyes, and the mighty emperor's prestige was released instantly, and the man broke out in a cold sweat.

"I am the king of a country, how can I deceive you with my golden words!"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

The man quickly knelt down.

Luo Hongyan said: "Get up! The disaster is urgent. If you want to borrow food, you can borrow the food to the local governments as quickly as possible!"

"By the way, unless you have no food, you still have to sell the food according to the original amount!"

The faces of the five grain merchants changed slightly.

They promised to sell the amount of grain every day, but if the government sells grain at [-]% of the price, they will definitely have to lower the price to sell it.

"Your Majesty has a kind heart, and all the food from my Zheng family will be lent to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I will also lend all the grain of the Liang Clan in Longxi to Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty--"

Five grain merchants spoke one after another, expressing their willingness to lend all the grain!
From their point of view, it must be bloody money after a month!
They actually knew about the large-scale promotion of potato planting by the government, but they didn't take it seriously.

Even if the yield of potatoes is higher than that of grain, how much can it be used to replace grain?
Unless the potato production reaches more than thirty stones!
But is it possible?
The grain output of the Tianyan Dynasty is generally only four to five stones per mu. Isn't it nonsense that the output of potatoes is more than six times the grain output?

"Okay, I promise you, I will pay back the grain after one month, or give me [-] times the market price!"

Luo Hongyan said solemnly.

As she spoke, someone brought up a pen and ink.

Luo Hongyan wrote down five IOUs with her own hands, and then stamped her own imperial seal on each!
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like that."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we must believe in Your Majesty."

The five grain merchants said that they said so, but Luo Hongyan gave them the IOU, so they were much more at ease.

"Hurry up and act!"

Luo Hongyan said in a deep voice.

The five grain merchants resigned, and soon they sent pigeons to other places.

The granaries all over the country quickly lent all the grain to the government, and the government immediately sold the grain at [-]% of the current market price.

The amount sold is much larger than before!
"Your Majesty is merciful!"

"I heard that His Majesty buys grain at [-] times the price, and then sells it to us at a [-]% discount!"

"Whoever speaks ill of His Majesty will be our enemy!"

Countless people commented that Luo Hongyan's reputation among the people has dropped a lot and quickly recovered!
Even more than ever!

"Hmph, does Luo Hongyan think that she can survive the catastrophe? She is simply naive!"

"Yes, the borrowed food has to be repaid. What will Luo Hongyan have to pay back after one month? If you let go, the food will be consumed faster. After one month, the price of food on the market will definitely be higher!"

The other two major grain merchants got together.

They had no plans to lend food to Luo Hongyan.

Even if they need to sell some food at a [-]% discount now, they are willing to carry on like this!
Carrying it for a month may earn more!

Time passed day by day, and as the potatoes in the field gradually grew, Luo Hongyan felt relieved.

The land around Tianyan Dynasty is not the best, but she estimated that the yield per mu will not be less than sixty shi!
"Ye Chen, on behalf of the people of the world, thank you!"

Luo Hongyan came to Ye Chen again, she smiled slightly and bowed to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen accepted Luo Hongyan's gift without dodging or avoiding it.

Potatoes are a good thing to make a fortune, why did he take them out and get a gift from Luo Hongyan?
"Hongyan, the people must have concerns about new food like potatoes. Before harvesting, you'd better organize officials to have a potato feast, so that the people's worries can be dispelled!"

Ye Chen said.

Luo Hongyan smiled and said: "That's exactly what I mean, this time I'm here to invite you to a banquet."

"The harem can't interfere in politics, but it's no problem to participate in such a banquet!"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up.

He has no interest in eating potatoes.

But such a banquet must not be held in Tianji Hall, nor in Chaotian Palace.

He can check in to new places!

"Hong Yan, where is the banquet?"

Ye Chen asked directly, if it wasn't a good place, he wouldn't be interested!
Luo Hongyan smiled and said: "I plan to invite some folks, and the location will be Juxian Palace!"

Juxian Palace is not inside the palace, but outside the palace.

It is the place where the emperor recruits talents and enjoys himself with the people!
Every year, the emperor will meet some strange men here, and many of them are favored by the emperor!
"Juxian Palace? Good!"

Ye Chen nodded.

Of course he knew this place, although it was not in Emperor Tianyan Palace, it was still an extremely important place.

You should be able to get a good baby by signing in here.

"The time is set for tomorrow, set off after the morning morning, you are ready!"

Luo Hongyan finished speaking and left.

"When I leave the palace tomorrow, I might have a chance to leave. I can go to my hometown to deal with those horse thieves!"

Ye Chen's eyes flickered coldly.

A month ago, his cultivation base at the sixth level of the god king, and his combat power at the ninth level of the god king are now at the level of the god emperor!
When the emperor travels, he will definitely be followed by a powerful person, but with his current strength, plus he has something like the cloak of Shengyin, he might be able to leave quietly.

For the strong guards who leave the palace, most of their energy must be on Luo Hongyan's body!

"Father, mother, I will definitely avenge your revenge!"

Ye Chen muttered to himself.

The horse bandits who attacked their village were strong, and they have grown even stronger now.

However, in the eyes of Ye Chen today, they are just rubbish. God-emperor level strength is no joke!
In the entire Tianyan Emperor Palace, there will not be more than twenty God Emperor level powerhouses.

With a population of tens of billions in the entire Tianyan Dynasty, there will definitely not be more than fifty god-emperor-level powerhouses!
