Cui He was stunned and asked blankly, "What?" ”

Li Zhi Kankan said: "Cui He, you see, in this world, the common people are very poor, and they are not covered by clothes and food, just because there are three great enemies who are constantly destroying the essence and blood of the people in the world!" ”

Cui He asked curiously, "Which three enemies?" ”

Li Zhi Kankan said: "The first big enemy is the thieves in the northwest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info These thieves do not produce, and loot everywhere they pass, seriously destroying local production. They treated human life as a mustard, and drove the defenseless poor people to charge for them, killing them for thousands of miles. ”

Cui He nodded and said, "I heard my father say that those thieves are really very hateful, killing I don't know how many gentry and people. Fortunately, Tianjin is not in the northwest, and they can't kill it. ”

After a pause, Li Zhi said again: "The second great enemy is the Jianzhou Tartars in the northeast. These Tartars crossed the Great Wall at every turn to plunder the interior, plundering wealth and population. During the siege, they encountered fierce resistance and even slaughtered the city in retaliation. Chongzhen entered Gyeonggi from Xifengkou in the second year, and killed I don't know how many people! In the future, these Tartars will come again, the most hateful! ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Cui He's face darkened, and he muttered: "Tartars are very terrifying, and I don't know how they were born, so many officers and soldiers can't beat them, my cousin in Zunhua was killed by Tartars four years ago!" ”

Li Zhi was stunned, he didn't expect that Cui He's family and relatives were killed by Tartars, so he didn't know what to say for a while, so he fell silent.

Cui He asked curiously, "What about the third enemy?" ”

Li Zhi took a breath, and then said: "The third big enemy and the biggest enemy is corrupt officials. Now the officials of the world have rotted into pieces, like the cancer of the empire, regardless of right and wrong, black and white, they will only frantically suck the cream of the world. Large households with land and royal relatives bribed officials and did not pay land endowments. The poor peasants, who had little land and little production, had to bear all the taxes. The taxes collected by the imperial court were used by officials at the local level, often ten times and a hundred times, so that the small people had no food and clothing, so they could only flee everywhere or even go to thieves! ”

Cui He didn't know what Li Zhi meant by cancer, so he thought for a while and asked, "Li Zhi, what do you tell me about these three enemies?" ”

In front of the beauty, Li Zhi was arrogant, waved his hand and said: "I will destroy these three enemies for the people of the world in the future!" ”

Cui He: "Huh? After a sigh, he whispered, "Li Zhi, do you have such a great ability?" ”

Li Zhi nodded, looked at Cui He and said, "I want to use the power of science and technology to destroy these three great enemies." ”

Cui He was stunned and asked, "What is technology?" ”

Li Zhi said loudly: "My soap is easy to use, right?" Technology is the new technology, the thing that brings us soap. Science and technology can constantly provide new strength to civilization, make the weak strong, and let civilization defeat barbarism. ”

Cui He listened to Li Zhi's words, did not squeak, and did not seem to believe Li Zhi's words.

Li Zhi took a breath and said lightly: "It's not that I'm arrogant, but if I don't stand up and use the power of science and technology to destroy these three great enemies, the world of the Han people will die." ”

Seeing that Li Zhi was talking so emotionally, Cui He looked at Li Zhi with blinking eyes, a little afraid to speak.

Li Zhi smiled, and then turned around and said, "Is the soap I gave you easy to use?" ”

Cui He laughed and said loudly: "It's easy to use, it's not only clean, but also fragrant on the body." ”

Li Zhi said: "When you run out, I'll send you a few more pieces!" ”

"Okay, okay!"

Li Zhi stopped bragging with Cui He, waved his hand and walked down the street, wandering around.

In mid-February, Li Zhi made the soap for Cui Wending that month and delivered it smoothly. Cui Wending paid off all the money and gave Li Zhi more than 200 taels of silver. Cui Wending's payment plus the profits from the sale of soap in Li Zhi's shop, Li Zhi already had nearly 1,000 taels of silver in his hands.

Cui Wending had already shipped the goods to Jingshi for sale when he got half of the soap. He also learned from Li Zhi's method, first cutting the soap into small strips as a gift, and only when the benefits of the soap had spread that he sold the whole piece of soap. By the time the second batch of 25,000 pieces of soap arrived in Beijing, Cui Wending's sales in Beijing were already very hot, and the first batch of soap had already been sold out.

When the second batch of soap arrived, the women in the capital were moved by the wind and rushed to buy it. More and more people know the benefits of soap,

Even the eunuchs who bought it in the palace also bought some to use back to the palace.

Soap can wash away sweat and dirt, far more than the effect of soap cream, which made soap quickly popular in the palace.

Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, was a close confidant of Emperor Chongzhen, and a few days ago he heard from a eunuch who bought outside the palace that there were merchants in the capital who had brought a thing called soap from Tianjin. This soap can be used to wash clothes, and it has a strong ability to remove stains, so that the clothes are free from the torture of the washing rod and protect the clothes. And this soap can also be used in baths, which can wash away sweat stains.

Wang Chengen didn't believe it at first: In this chaotic world, where could such a good thing suddenly appear? But after he personally took a piece of soap from the little eunuch he bought and tried it, he was completely impressed by this thing.

Take this soap to clean the emperor's dragon robe, and those oil stains that are extremely difficult to wash off on weekdays are rubbed a few times in the soap foam, and they will be washed without a trace. On weekdays, the dragon robe is washed after entering the Huanyi Bureau a few times, but when you wash it with this soap, you will not lose the clothes, and the clothes are still new after washing.

Wang Chengen personally tried to bathe with this soap. In the past, when taking a bath, Wang Chengen had to rub it in the bathtub for two quarters of an hour. But with this soap, it only takes a quarter of an hour to wash your body clean, leaving no sweat at all. Looking horizontally and vertically, this thing that sells for twenty-five pieces is definitely a treasure.

Such a good thing, Wang Chengen didn't dare to hide it privately, and immediately dedicated it to the emperor.

At that time, the Forbidden City Qianqing Palace.

Burning the stove and burning the spices from the South Seas, it was not cold at all in the Qianqing Palace. The twenty-four-year-old Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen dictated the holy decree, and Wang Chengen approved the red in the decree. After watching the recital all night, Zhu Youzhen was a little tired. He rubbed his eyes, got up from his throne, and walked around the study.

Seeing this, Wang Chengen hurriedly walked up and said, "Emperor, it's late at night, so let's rest early." No matter how important the national affairs are, we must also pay attention to the health of the dragon's body! ”

Zhu Youzhen pointed to the high stacked pieces on the imperial case and said, "There are so many that have not been approved, how can you sleep?" ”

Wang Chengen pondered the emperor's thoughts, raised his head and said, "If the emperor can trust the auxiliary ministers, why should he bow down to him?" The important excerpts are read, but the unimportant ones are copied by the slaves according to the votes of the auxiliary ministers. ”

Zhu Youzhen turned his back to Wang Chengen and was silent for a moment before he said: "Wen Yuanfu is lonely and not a party, but he is worthy of my trust." That's it! I'll see it tonight, and I'll copy the rest of the notes according to the ticket. ”
