Chapter 105 Six Great Papermaking Families
Ye Chen nodded and added: "Hong Yan, you can call people from other paper-making families over."

Luo Hongyan said that she knew.

She could vaguely feel that there would be a full-scale collision between the royal family and the paper industry.

At the same time, above the main hall of the Cai family.

People from the six major families are gathering here.

They are the six major paper-making families headed by the Cai family.

In the entire Dacha Dynasty, it can be said that [-]% of the paper comes from their six families.

This time Cai Yongxin went to the Dacha Emperor's Palace to discuss with Luo Hongyan the reduction of the paper tax rate, and he was going there on behalf of the six major families.

"Brother Cai, is there any gain from this trip?"

The head of the Ouyang family was the first to speak.

Their family background is not as deep as that of the Cai family, so when they joined hands to triple the price of paper this time, the Ouyang family was still a little panicked.

After all, there are many complaints among the people now. If the emperor is really angry, although he can't do anything to the Cai family, it is entirely possible to use them to spread fire on the Ouyang family.

At this time, Cai Yongxin was extremely calm.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said calmly, "Everyone, don't panic, although His Majesty did not directly agree to our tax reduction request during this trip, but I believe it will happen sooner or later."

"After all, four years ago, Your Majesty, there was nothing we could do, let alone now."

"Then what request did President Cai ask His Majesty?" Someone asked cautiously.

It is obvious that their emotions at this time are very complicated. On the one hand, they have to worry about losing their beauty and getting angry, but on the other hand, they want to really benefit from it.

"I gave His Majesty three days to reduce the tax rate to 5.00%. If not, it must be reduced to [-]% within ten days. After ten days, we will join hands to boycott the tax payment."

After Cai Yongxin finished speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Obviously, he is full of confidence in this move. In his opinion, Luo Hongyan will definitely give in. It's just a matter of time.

The Patriarch of the Tan family said a little excitedly: "Brother Cai is indeed mighty and domineering, and following you will be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy food."

Cai Yongxin waved his hands and said modestly: "This time we still need the joint efforts of several families."

"That's right, we must work together to advance and retreat!"

In fact, their papermaking family has always had the idea of ​​coercing the emperor to lower the tax rate many times.

But when the Supreme Emperor was on the throne, they did not dare to be so arrogant.

After all, they are still a little afraid of the means of the Supreme Emperor.

When Luo Hongyan came to power four years ago, they finally realized that there might be an opportunity.

This is why they made a big offensive four years ago.

Now that the national treasury is full, they naturally want to get a share of it again.

In the Purple Dragon Palace, night fell gradually.

Ye Chen and Luo Hongyan had finished their dinner.

At this time, Luo Hongyan couldn't help but start to feel a little drummed in her heart.

Because although she said that she had decided to allow her relationship with Ye Chen to go further, she was a little uncertain about what Ye Chen would do.

That night, Ye Chen consciously hugged Luo Hongyan from behind, placing his palms on her waist.

It's just that he didn't take the next step, because he didn't know what Luo Hongyan was thinking.

Just spent the night as usual.

Ye Chen didn't move around all night, and he felt that it was pretty good that he could do this step.

The next morning, when Luo Hongyan woke up, she thought to herself.

"I gave you a chance, I can only blame you for not grasping it, you can't blame me in the future."

Then Luo Hongyan got up to wash up and went to the morning court.

If the current Ye Chen knew Luo Hongyan's true thoughts, he would probably faint from regret.

An hour later, Luo Hongyan returned to Zilong Palace with a somewhat ugly face.

At this time, Ye Chen was still lying in the backyard, basking in the sun leisurely.

Luo Hongyan said a little displeased: "Ye Chen, you will enjoy it. I will call people from the six major paper-making families over later, and you can negotiate terms with them!"

Luo Hongyan had just returned from the morning lawsuit and saw Ye Chen enjoying himself so much.

This really made her feel a little broken.

Ye Chen was not in a hurry, but handed the paper in his hand to Luo Hongyan.

Luo Hongyan saw a poem written on it.

Immediately, her anger gradually dissipated.

Luo Hongyan was actually moved by the poem written by Ye Chen, but she was very good at hiding her expression, so she didn't want Ye Chen to notice it at all.

Ye Chen smiled slightly at this and said: "Hong Yan, poetry is not important, you pay attention to the paper in your hand."

After Ye Chen's voice fell, Luo Hongyan's attention was placed on the paper in her hand.

Immediately, she discovered that the paper in her hand was spotless.

The entire paper is very smooth, and such thick ink does not leave any traces of smearing on the back of the paper.

Luo Hongyan had never encountered paper of this quality before.

Ye Chen chuckled softly: "Hongyan, this is the sample that the Royal Papermaking Workshop gave you and me not long ago. What do you think?"

Luo Hongyan's gaze immediately turned to Ye Chen's hand.

There was a stack of dozens of sheets of paper stacked there.

She couldn't wait to step forward and pick it up.

Then she found that, without exception, the quality of these papers was much better than that made by the Cai family.

So she couldn't wait to ask a question that she was quite concerned about.

"Ye Chen, what is the cost of these papers?"

Ye Chen said with a smile: "At present, even in the case of using formations, the cost is only half of that of the Cai family."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he could feel Luo Hongyan's sincere joy.

Because not only the paper quality is better than Cai's, but the price is also lower than theirs.

In the future, the paper produced by the Royal Paper Mill will definitely be much more competitive than the Cai family.

At this moment, the female officer Nan Gongning came to report.

"Your Majesty, the six major paper-making families headed by the Cai family have come to ask for an audience."

Luo Hongyan waved her hand and said, "Let them wait for a while, I'll be there later."

After Nangong Ning retreated, Luo Hongyan said to Ye Chen seriously.

"Ye Chen, I'm not joking with you. You will negotiate directly with the six major families later. This matter is not a political matter."

After hearing this, Ye Chen nodded gently.

He also knew that Luo Hongyan, as the empress, might not be convenient for her to do many things.

What's more, when Ye Chen secretly listened to the conversation between Cai Yongxin and Luo Hongyan yesterday, he felt a little unhappy.

Today I just took the opportunity to find the place back.
