Wang Shijie has been in Chang'an City with soap for seven or eight days. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that when I first arrived, the novelty of soap didn't attract the attention of those ladies, and the situation didn't change until today, and there was a long queue outside the Wang family's store in Chang'an City overnight.

Waiting at the door are all housekeepers and maids from various provinces, with only one purpose to purchase soap.

At the same time, the news spread in Chang'an City, and all the concubines in the palace were using soap, which made everyone who was in-depth and simple on weekdays unable to calm down, and the things that the queen mother was using drove them out to buy soap like a spell.

After the first batch of soap was procured and used, more people bought it the next day, and there were many rich sons among them.

"Oh, isn't this Brother Li?"

"Brother Zhao hasn't seen you for a long time, and you are here too?"

"Brother Li too?"

"Oh, since they are all fellow believers, there is no need to hide it, my sister bought a soap yesterday and went back, after trying it out, she looked at the soap all night, I was really curious this morning and took it to use, and was immediately shocked by the artifact, and today I am going to buy it and give it to the Liu girl in the rouge building."

"Brother Li actually stole it and used it?" That Zhao Gongzi was surprised, "I haven't tried it yet, but it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

"Hey, how can this scholar use stealing words, it's taking, taking!" Li Gongzi said dissatisfied.

At this moment, the shops suddenly opened, and Li Gongzi's eyes were quick, and he pulled Zhao Gongzi past him and ran in.

Wang Shijie, who was standing at the door, looked dazed, he really didn't expect that soap would be so popular, and he didn't expect that one of the main forces buying soap would be in addition to those famous ladies. The girls in the building also accounted for a lot.

At the same time, Li Kaiyuan also gained a lot in the south, although the magnates of the Great Chongqing Kingdom were mostly concentrated in Chang'an City, but the wealthy businessmen were mostly concentrated in the south, especially in Jinling City.

Comparatively speaking, the prosperity of Jinling City has long been not lost to Chang'an.

Because of drunken Qingzhou, perfume has long been spread, these two products are especially popular in Jinling City, and there is no perfume Wang family and Qin family, only he is the only one here.

And the soap didn't make him wait long, and after the news of the concubines using soap reached here, the stock of soap was sold out in just a few days.

Now all over Jinling City are discussing these three magical commodities, even if he eats in the restaurant, he can't avoid it, and as soon as he sat down today, the person at the next table who looked like a boy bragged.

One of them stood up with the perfume in his hand, showed it aside in front of everyone, and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”

The sons came out of the city, and they didn't know the news in Jinling City, and shook their heads at the same time.

Brother Gongzi was proud, he pulled out the cork and turned around in front of everyone, and a kind of Brother Gongzi exclaimed at the same time: "It's so fragrant!" ”

"Incense is right, this is called perfume, do you know the frost girl of Wanhualou in Jinling City?"

"The country that my brother said is beautiful, but the frost girl who smells like a fox?"

"That's right, Miss Frost has been selected as the Oiran of Wanhualou every year because of the smell of the fox, but since she used this perfume, this fox smell is no longer there, and now how many rich sons are flocking to her."

"Isn't this perfume so miraculous that it can hide all the smells? I don't believe it. ”

"That's it."

"Please lend me a look." A boy said.

The son who was holding the perfume gave him the perfume triumphantly, only to see the man take the perfume and wipe it on his body, saying: "I also have a fox smell, and it is incumbent on me to test the medicine for my brother." ”

……

Qingzhou, different from the liveliness of the Qi Wangfu in previous years, this year's Qi Wangfu can be described as very lively, compared to the previous door, now the door is full of traffic, and the water is impassable.

In just two months, soap, perfume and drunken Qingzhou became famous in the north and south at the same time, and businessmen with a sensitive sense of smell poured into Qingzhou like cats smelling fishy.

When they got here, they naturally wanted to visit Xiao Ming.

These days, Aster's daily gifts are almost soft, Xiao Ming wakes up every day to receive these merchants, but for a few days, the enthusiasm of these merchants has not diminished, and there is a momentum that will not stop until the goal is reached.

The Wang family and the Qin family were naturally very nervous about this matter, and they were naturally not happy to come to them to grab food and eat so much, for this reason, in addition to taking concessions to curry favor with Xiao Ming, they also adopted various methods to prevent the influx of foreign businessmen, beating sticks, threatening, and intimidating, but the effect was very small.

These merchants still came one after another, and the saying that people died for money and birds died for food was vividly displayed in these merchants.

"Your Highness, the treasury of the palace can't stuff some of these gifts." These days, the whole palace is painful and happy.

The people of the royal palace enjoyed the special products brought by the merchants from all over the country, and at the same time busily greeted a merchant with a certain family.

Xiao Mingle said: "If you can't stuff it, let's vacate the other rooms first." ”

The pothos mouth is full of maltose, and now this girl is no longer worried about not being able to eat maltose.

Almost every merchant who comes to visit will bring some pastries, sweets.

"Ninety-four, ninety-four." Pothos echoed inarticulately.

"This is the dignified Qi Palace, it is really out of place, out of place." Pang Yukun shook his head, in order to deal with these businessmen, he called Pang Yukun to deal with it with him, but when he saw that the people in the palace were in chaos, Pang Yukun preached again.

The green pothos shrank her head, pulled the placket of Aster's clothes and ran, for fear that Pang Yukun would scold her.

Xiao Ming comforted: "Pang Changshi, the people in the palace are also happy, so there is no need to be rigid about the details." ”

Pang Yukun had a straight face, "Your Highness, it's not that the lower officials are talkative, it's just that Your Highness has received so many gifts, how should those businessmen reply?" If His Royal Highness agrees, not only the Wang family and the Qin family, but His Royal Highness's own business bank may also be damaged. “

"Chief Pang is too worried, we have to look a little farther ahead." Xiao Ming said that for Pang Yukun, who had only read sage books since he was a child, he despised businessmen very much.

Because the merchant is not engaged in production, but only flows to absorb profits, and is mercenary, he thinks that the status of the merchant and the moth is the same from the bones.

However, in the past two days, Xiao Ming had to argue with him several times through the huge knowledge in the science and technology library, which made him reluctantly accept that businessmen also had advantages.

Since Xiao Ming accepted the gift from the merchant this time, he naturally had his thoughts.

Just relying on the Wang family, the Qin family or his own trading house, it seems that he has a monopoly on the trade of three commodities and makes a lot of money, but in fact, this idea is very short-sighted.

Because the combined strength of the three is limited, it is impossible to sell soap in the entire Dayu country in a short time, which causes Xiao Ming to only sell a limited amount of silver taels with a limited amount of soap in a limited area.

Instead of this, it is better to open up the soap technology and let these merchants build workshops in Qingzhou to produce soap, so that the production of soap will be greatly increased.

And Xiao Ming doesn't have to waste his limited resources on low-end industries such as producing soap, liquor and perfume, after all, he is a man who wants to conquer the stars and seas.

However, there are conditions for the opening of this technology, one of which is that Xiao Ming, the technology of this alkali, is not open, and he provides it exclusively, and the merchants are only responsible for the production of soap.

Second, the merchant could only set up workshops in Qingzhou and other states in his fiefdom.

The purpose of these two conditions is very simple, just selling alkali, Xiao Ming can get a higher profit than the production of soap, and there is no need to spend labor to produce soap by himself, but to use these people in the basic chemical industry of three acids and two alkalis.

The second is similar to attracting investment, in order for the merchants of the Great Chongqing Kingdom to circle on their own territory, and the soap workshops built anywhere else, he does not provide alkali.

As soon as these two measures came out, Xiao Ming could not only gather the strength of businessmen to develop and expand the soap industry, but also make a lot of money, and at the same time, the gathering of businessmen was also the beginning of Qingzhou's prosperity.

As for the Wang family and the Qin family's worried reaction now, it was also expected by him, because they still didn't understand some business models.

When you talk to them, they will understand that this is a win-win situation, not a loss.
