The group chatted and laughed, sitting there until almost evening.

The number of people in the wholesale market gradually decreased.

The emperor, accompanied by several ministers, arrived at the wholesale market, where many stalls were already being cleaned up.

All of these shop owners were hired by Su Muyao.

The daily amount of grain brought in, the amount sold, and the amount of silver involved were all recorded in the ledger.

In addition to their monthly allowance, these people also receive extra commissions.

There's also an evaluation system for the entire market; if you get a complaint, your bonus will be deducted.

The emperor and his entourage arrived at a shop that specialized in selling grain.

"Hey buddy, how much is this rice and flour per pound?"

"This white flour costs three coins a pound, and white rice costs four coins."

The group had already prepared themselves mentally, but they still gasped when they actually learned the price.

A steamed bun costs two coins outside, but this white flour only costs three coins per pound.

This is not the same as giving it away for free; they then asked about the prices of other grains.

These coarse grains are basically one coin per pound, as are those corn grits.

Even the red beans and mung beans that were freshly sold before have seen their price jump to ten coins per pound.

When these red beans and mung beans came to market, the entire Great Dynasty was filled with wonder.

The price was once driven up to ten taels of silver per catty.

Now it has become ten coins per catty, and this young princess did it on a whim.

If we keep selling at this price in the future, we'll lose a fortune.

Everyone thought it was a grand opening promotion, just like all the shops Su Muyao had opened before.

For the first three days, the items were sold at 30% or even 50% off.

They also understood the concept of these several folds from Su Muyao's explanation.

Wouldn't these grains now be worth two or three times their original value?

Then I asked about the price of the vegetables, but I basically didn't say anything after that.

The prices, all just a few coins per pound, really left them speechless.

At this moment, Su Muyao was carrying her fluffy pink rabbit bag and holding a peeled sugarcane in her hand, which she was munching on enthusiastically.

Looking up, I saw the emperor and his ministers asking about prices at a vegetable stall.

"Uncle Emperor, what brings you here to inspect my work?"

Upon seeing the playful Yao Yao, the emperor immediately waved to her.

The stall vendor was inwardly cursing the person in front of him who was asking all sorts of questions but not buying anything.

Upon hearing the young princess address the emperor as her uncle, they were astonished.

The man immediately went to pay his respects to the emperor.

He was cursing himself in his heart, thankfully he didn't show it on his face, otherwise he would have been beheaded.

Goodness gracious! I can see my great-grandmother waving at me.

The man internally berated himself for his inappropriate behavior.

Fortunately, they receive training before starting their jobs, and they are taught to treat even the most unreasonable and willful customers with courtesy.

If you really can't solve the problem, then you can report it to your superiors.

There will be some people from higher up who will come to mediate and provide assistance.

Of course, if they cannot assist, and it is found that the customer is indeed being unreasonable, they will also use tough methods.

"Get up, everyone, no need for formalities. I'm just here to take a look around."

Only after the emperor spoke did the men get up.

Su Muyao approached the emperor and greeted him with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, he led the emperor and his ministers to the teahouse across the street.

"Try this, it's a fruit tea I just developed."

The emperor and his ministers tasted it all again.

"Yaoyao! These things from that wholesale market are way too cheap! Are they going to be this price from now on..."

Su Muyao smiled and said, "Of course it won't be that price."

After hearing this, the emperor laughed and said, "I knew it! If you keep selling at this price, you'll lose everything sooner or later!"

Su Muyao chuckled and said, "Of course I won't sell it at that price."

This price is only valid for the first three days of the grand opening promotion.

The price will eventually rise back to its original level. Vegetables, for example, are currently one or two coins, but will later become around three or four coins.

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this. It hadn't increased by much; it was still more than half the price of what was available elsewhere.

"However, I mainly focus on wholesale, so those merchants can buy wholesale from me and then resell in retail."

I believe that those who live far from the capital will also buy grain and other storeable items from me wholesale, and then sell them in distant places.”

The emperor nodded upon hearing this, agreeing with the view.

However, this price is really incredibly cheap.

No, he has to go back now and have the people in the palace bring more money to make purchases.

His empty treasury is due for some replenishment.

Otherwise, even the rat would shake its head when it came over.

In particular, on the one hand, a lot of funds and grain were allocated to Longyuan, and on the other hand, General Qin was sent to attack Japan.

These are just the obvious requests for money and supplies.

There are also soldiers to feed, and soldiers stationed at various borders.

Despite being an emperor, he was constantly worried about these things.

I was right before, this little princess is indeed the little lucky star of the great dynasty.

After exchanging pleasantries with the emperor and his ministers, Su Muyao returned to the princess's residence.

That day, the whole capital was abuzz with the news that the princess was a living bodhisattva.

He was a benevolent person who saved all living beings, and a lucky star for the great dynasty.

However, within half a day, the news from the wholesale market had spread far and wide.

Upon learning this, some people set off overnight, especially ordinary people who traveled in groups to the capital to buy grain.

In their view, with such a cheap price, who doesn't have some savings?

As long as we buy this grain, we can get through this winter in peace.

In particular, many people starve to death every winter, but it seems that this year will not be the case.

They had initially thought that the grain seeds given by the young princess were already a way for them to survive.

Now that this food is practically given away for free, they can clearly see the good days ahead.

For several months in a row, Su Muyao has been busy with the wholesale market, mainly making improvements.

The original plan was to sell the higher-priced items retail and the lower-priced items wholesale.

However, Su Muyao underestimated the extent of these people's madness.

Not only merchants from the capital, but also people from other places flocked to buy the goods.

And then there were the people who came from other places.

Therefore, Su Muyao specially built a large wholesale market in the back.

This way, people who buy in large quantities can simply go to the back to get their goods.

Over the past few months, Daya's belly has gradually grown bigger, and it looks like she's about to give birth.

The whole family was extremely nervous.

This morning, right after Da Ya finished breakfast, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

This was her first pregnancy, and she had absolutely no experience, so she was terrified.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law, who had just left home, returned home quickly. Upon seeing the situation, she immediately went to call the midwife over.

Wang, the scholar, even had a doctor waiting nearby, just in case something happened so that he could receive timely treatment.
