Chapter 95
She thought about the problem that she couldn't solve for a few days, but Bai Yu suddenly came up with a solution, and there was still profit to be made.
"Bai Yu, if what you say is feasible, I can fulfill your request."
Before she finished speaking, Yin Luoxia disappeared, and she got a countermeasure, so she had to implement it quickly.
In addition to the official grain, the entire Tianqi Dynasty had eight large grain merchant shops.
Among them, the headquarters of five grain merchants are all in Tianqi Imperial City.
As soon as Yin Luoxia gave the order, these people rushed to the place to discuss matters without stopping.
"The grass people pay their respects to Your Majesty."
Several people are the owners of grain merchants, everyone respects Yin Luoxia, in fact they also know Yin Luoxia's purpose.
His Majesty must have come out of the palace to meet them in person to let them sell grain at a lower price to the common people.
And they are not stupid, they naturally know that the more serious the famine is, the higher the price of food will be. If they buy it at a low price now, wouldn't they be giving up an opportunity to make money.
Of course they would not agree.
It's just that I still have to give her face in front of His Majesty, and it's just a little bit.
They were doing business normally and had not violated the law, and Yin Luoxia had no reason to suppress them.
"Stay flat, give me a seat."
Yin Luoxia said coldly: "Now the people are suffering from hunger, and I don't want to talk nonsense. I am here to discuss a business deal with you."
"I don't know what kind of business His Majesty is talking about?"
asked the oldest of the five hosts.
Yin Luoxia spoke slowly: "I want to borrow some grain from you, the more the better, I will give you [-] times the profit in two months, and you can also buy the grain at the market price."
Hearing this, several people immediately became interested.
They thought that the famine would definitely be more serious in two months, and food would be more expensive by then.
Moreover, the interest rate given by Yin Luoxia was very good, so it was hard not to be tempted.
"Your Majesty, is this true?"
A man asked excitedly.
Hearing this, Yin Luoxia looked over with cold eyes, and the whole hall was shrouded in coldness.
The man was too scared to speak for a moment.
"I am the Empress of the Tianqi Dynasty, and I keep my promises, so how can I lie to you?"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The man knelt in front of Yin Luoxia trembling.
Yin Luoxia suppressed the anger in her heart, and said slowly: "It's okay, the famine is serious now, if you agree to this deal, then send the food to the nearest official ration as soon as possible."
"Also, you must sell food to the common people according to the amount you said before, unless the food is sold out."
Hearing this, the faces of the five bosses suddenly changed.
They had discussed with the government before that they must sell a certain amount of grain every day.
Now that the official food is sold at [-]% of the market price, they must also lower the price.
"Your Majesty is for the benefit of the people, and I am willing to lend all the food of the Wang family to His Majesty."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, my Liu family also lent all the food to Your Majesty."
……
They all wanted to lend all the food to Yin Luoxia.
They thought, instead of selling the food at a lower price reluctantly, they might as well lend it all to His Majesty and make a lot of money by then.
Now that the government is cultivating a batch of high-yielding sweet potatoes, they naturally heard about it, but they didn't take it seriously.
Even if the yield of sweet potatoes is very high, it is not as good as food!
Could it be said that the yield of these sweet potatoes can still reach fifty shi?
Totally impossible.
The highest grain output in the entire Tianqi Dynasty was only about ten shi. How could there be crops that could reach fifty shi?
"Since you all feel that there is no problem, let's make an agreement. After two months, I will return the food to you and give you [-] times the money."
Yin Luoxia said loudly.
Then, someone came up with pen and ink.
Yin Luoxia signed an agreement with all five employers, and even stamped the emperor's seal symbolizing royal power?
"Your Majesty need not be so troublesome."
"We still believe that His Majesty will never lie to us."
Seeing that Yin Luoxia had even taken out the emperor's seal, they hurriedly said.
But the moment I got the receipt was still very exciting.
"Send all the food to the government."
After they left, they immediately notified the grain shops under them.
All the food stored up was sent to the government.
The government that received the order naturally did not dare to slack off, and quickly sold the grain to the people at [-]% of the market price.
The famine was temporarily relieved a lot.
"Your Majesty is so merciful."
"I heard from the grain merchants that His Majesty bought all the grain at a very high price and sold it to us at [-]% of the price."
"Yes, we will support His Majesty wholeheartedly in the future. If anyone dares to oppose His Majesty, it will be against us."
The common people were very grateful after buying the food, and Yin Luoxia's status in their hearts was much higher.
Yin Luoxia immediately won the support of many people.
"Hmph, His Majesty's move can't solve the problem of famine at all, it's still too young."
"You're right. The borrowed food has to be returned to us and we have to pay a lot of interest, but what should you do if your majesty's food is sold out?"
"By then, food will be more expensive."
Naturally, the remaining three grain merchants were not idle, and they got together to discuss non-stop.
They also didn't want to lend all the food to Yin Luoxia.
Even if they had to lower the price to sell it, they didn't want to waste time with Yin Luoxia.
It is hard to say whether His Majesty will be able to replace it with food by then. As long as this month passes, they firmly believe that they will make a profit.
Time passed bit by bit, and Yin Luoxia watched the sweet potatoes grow slowly.Only then did the hanging heart let go.
The land of the Tianqi Dynasty is not as good as those of the small countries nearby, but she made a rough calculation, and the output will definitely be higher than fifty stones.
"Bai Yu, on behalf of the people of the entire Tianqi Dynasty, I would like to thank you."
Yin Luoxia came to Fengming Hall, and bowed down respectfully to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu was not worried, and accepted Yin Luoxia's salute with a smile.
The sweet potatoes he took out directly solved the famine problem, so what's wrong with Yin Luoxia saluting him?
"Luoxia, I think it will be difficult for the common people to accept sweet potatoes as a new food for a while. Before distributing the seeds to them, let the officials try it first."
"It's easier for people to accept it."
Bai Yu said slowly.
Yin Luoxia smiled: "I think so too, so I specially invite you to this tasting banquet."
"Although the harem is not allowed to participate in political affairs, this is just a banquet and there will be no problems."
Hearing this, Bai Yu suddenly became interested.
In fact, he didn't want to attend any banquet, he just wanted to sign in.
In any case, this banquet is very important. Although it is not held in Chaotian Palace, it will be a special place.
When he goes to sign in, maybe there will be some more powerful rewards.
