I am invincible in the Empress Palace!

Ye Chen looked at the other Patriarchs: "Several, do you think the same as Patriarch Lin?"

"Your Majesty is kind and willing to give you a chance, I hope you will cherish it!"

The Patriarch of the Tao family smiled and said: "Empress, we don't need such an opportunity, it's really because the paper tax is reduced!"

"If the paper tax is lowered, we will have greater profits. Naturally, we will have the motivation to increase production. In the future, things like skyrocketing paper prices should never happen again!"

The rest of the family heads nodded.

They are headed by the Lin family, and they must advance and retreat together in such a matter!

Ye Chen nodded slightly: "Guys, I understand your thoughts clearly! If you want to lower the paper tax, it's not impossible!"

"The scale of the Royal Paper Mill is a bit small, and more paper mills are needed to make large-scale paper!"

"If you give the paper mill, you can permanently reduce your own paper tax!"

Lin Kaiji's eyes flickered: "Empress, are you serious?"

The paper mill gave it, and it can be rebuilt at that time, anyway, their technology is there!

The paper tax is reduced, and in the long run, it will be blood-earned!
Ye Chen said indifferently: "Patriarch Lin, Your Majesty is sitting next to you, and His Majesty has said that I am responsible for this matter!"

"Your Lin family's three largest paper mills will take it out, and then take out 200 million taels of silver, and the Lin family's paper tax will be reduced to zero!"

"The remaining five families will each take out 100 million taels of silver, which will be directly reduced to zero for you!"

Having said that, Ye Chen took out a contract.

Conditions are written on the contract.

"Patriarch Lin, I advise you not to sign, and immediately settle the price of the paper when you go back, and I will still give you one tax per ten in the future!"

"Sign it, the output of the Royal Paper Mill will expand, and it will be your own harm!"

Ye Chen looked indifferent and authentic.

Lin Kaiji looked at the contract Ye Chen took out, and he said sarcastically: "Empress, why is this paper similar to our Lin family's paper?"

"Our Lin family signed!"

If the three largest paper mills took it out and added 200 million taels of silver, the Lin family's ten-year profit would be lost!

But with the zero tax rate, the lost money will not take too long to make up!
"Our Tao family signs!"

"Our Huangfu family signed!"

The remaining five family heads spoke slightly, the zero tax rate was too tempting for them!
In comparison, what is a million taels of silver?
Ye Chen frowned and said, "Several Patriarchs, there is only one copy of the contract, you all write one copy according to your own! This copy needs your signature and fingerprints to be left here with His Majesty!"

"Think carefully when you write!"

The maid brought pen, ink and paper.

The paper is all high-end paper produced by the Lin family, and they can recognize this kind of paper at a glance.

Soon Lin Kaiji and the others wrote the contract and put their fingerprints on it!
Ye Chen said in a deep voice: "Several, His Majesty's seal has not been affixed yet, so there is still time for you to repent!"

"I will give you the last chance!"

Lin Kaiji said indifferently: "Empress, if the royal family really has cheap paper, our Lin family will admit it!"

Ye Chen gave him the feeling of bluffing!
Just trying to scare them off!

"Snapped!"

Luo Hongyan took out the emperor's seal and happily stamped her own seal on Lin Kaiji's contract.

Ye Chen looked at the other patriarchs and said coldly: "Everyone, think carefully!"

"Your Majesty, the Empress, our Tao family has thought it through."

"Our Zeng family has thought it through!"

The five Patriarchs all came in front of Luo Hongyan, and Luo Hongyan stamped the emperor's seal on them all with a cold face.

Ye Chen said coldly: "Guys, now that we have reached this point, there is nothing left to say!"

"You can go!"

Lin Kaiji and the others left with a smile. In their opinion, they had won a big victory!

Using short-term benefits in exchange for thousands of years of zero paper tax is a great deal!
At noon, Luo Hongyan got the news that the Lin family had vacated three largest paper mills.

The money that several companies need to take out has also been handed over to the treasury!
Lin.

"Brother Lin, what shall we do next, shall we lower the price of paper?"

Huangfulong asked.

Lin Kaiji's eyes flickered: "Reduce it? Why should it be lowered! Now we have a zero tax rate, and tomorrow we will double the price of paper!"

"When will we earn back the money we spent this time without raising the price?"

The Patriarch of the Tao family laughed and said, "Didn't your majesty and empress say that the royal family has cheap paper? There is a price to pay for cheating us, and the empress has to bow her head to us and admit her mistake!"

"this is okay!"

"A muddy leg from the bottom of a person, lucky enough to become an empress and think he is a character, ridiculous!"

The rest of the Patriarchs spoke up one after another.

……

In Emperor Tianyan Palace, Ye Chen returned to Fengming Palace.

From Liu Zhongliang and the others, he immediately knew that many strong men had visited Fengming Palace and conducted a detailed inspection of the people in Fengming Palace.

"Hongyan seems to care more about me."

A faint smile appeared on Ye Chen's face.

Several powerhouses at the level of the emperor were inspected in detail one by one, and the queen mother did not receive such treatment.

"Although it's comfortable to sleep with Hongyan in my arms, it's still comfortable to lie here by myself during the day."

Ye Chen lay down on the deck chair beside the big willow tree.

Next to her is Chunlan playing the piano, her level is not bad.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Early in the morning, the price of paper skyrocketed!
"Yesterday's price was high enough, why has it doubled today!"

"How can you afford such a price!"

Soon the entire Tianyan Emperor City became noisy, as did the cities near Tianyan Emperor City.

In a short time, the price of paper in the entire Tianyan Dynasty will skyrocket!

There will be more comments!

Luo Hongyan came to Ye Chen, and she told Ye Chen the current situation.

"Hongyan, let the six great families stage the final madness!"

"The three new paper mills hurry up to make paper and put it on the market in a few days!"

Ye Chen smiled.

At this time, the amount of distribution is not enough, and it is impossible for many people to see the faces of the six great families!

The paper tax has been reduced to zero, they already have bigger profits, but they still raise prices like crazy to make huge profits!

Luo Hongyan nodded slightly.

Another two days passed, and the paper price of the entire Tianyan Dynasty rose to eight times the normal price!
You must know that even in normal times, the paper of the Tianyan Dynasty is very expensive, and poor people simply cannot afford it!

Eight times the price, countless people can only look forward to it.

The Lin family and others became even more arrogant.

"The empress made a vow before and lied to us that the Royal Paper Mill already has cheap paper."

"Three days have passed, where is the paper?"

Lin Kaiji smiled and said that he was drinking with some other bigwigs at the moment.

One of them said: "Patriarch Lin, when will the price of paper come down?"

Lin Kaiji said indifferently: "The empress has lied to us. Before the empress gives us an explanation, the paper price may not come down!"
