Qingzhou City, Wang's family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Chengchou and Sun Yuanzhi sat opposite each other in the main hall, and Wang Shijie sat at the bottom.

Since Wang Chengchou went to the Qi Palace, this Sun Yuanzhi has been waiting for news in the Wang family, and now Wang Chengchou has come back and briefly recounted the things in the Qi Palace, he said slowly: "Brother Wang, this time is really thrilling, His Royal Highness did not punish the Wang family, it can be seen that he still values the Wang family in his heart." ”

"Hmph, that's of course, how much money my Wang family has spent on his King Qi in the past five years, King Qi will always miss the old love, but I can't figure out the pulse of the current King Qi, this time it can only be said to be a fluke." Wang Chengchou had palpitations.

"That's right, His Royal Highness King Qi seems to be quite a virtuous king now, this is close to Pang Chang's envoy, I don't know why?" Like everyone else, Sun Yuanzhi was equally confused.

Wang Chengchou frowned, "King Qi has changed so much, I guess it has something to do with the assassination last time, I'm afraid that King Qi deeply realized the danger of the battle for the throne last time, and now he has to accumulate strength to defend himself." “

"Well, what Brother Wang said is reasonable, the King of Wei in the south was as stupid as the King of Qi back then, and he also understood the danger he was in in the battle for the throne, and changed his mind, and now the fief of the King of Wei is rare and rich." Sun Yuanzhi said.

"That's right, so the King of Qi is estimated to be the same as the King of Wei back then." Wang Chengchou frowned, "It's just that in this way, this King Qi can't be at our mercy, but we have to look at his face." ”

"This is also impossible, now the Qin family and the Wei family are staring at us like dogs staring at bones, they are our opponents." Sun Yuanzhi said.

Wang Chengchou nodded, and sighed: "Hey, that's it, that's it, now that the situation has changed greatly, we also have to move according to the times, by the way, this time Qin Chuanyun will go back, and he will inevitably please His Highness because of this sale of illicit salt, and we can't fall behind, I see how about you and I donate 500 ploughing cattle each?" ”

Sun Yuanzhi said: "Five hundred ploughing cattle don't matter, as long as they can suppress the Qin and Wei families." ”

"Dad, isn't this a bit little, I listened to His Highness's tone, it seems that he has a money-making livelihood in his hands, but His Highness's words are vague, and he is still hesitating to give it to the Qin family." Wang Shijie interjected.

Wang Chengchou was in a hurry to explain the matter of hiding the cultivated cattle, but he didn't care about what Wang Shijie said, he asked at this time: "Your Highness really said this." ”

"Seriously, His Royal Highness also said that this is a very powerful thing, no worse than Zui Qingzhou." Wang Shijie affirmed.

Sun Yuanzhi's eyes rolled, now the benefits on the bright side are for the Wang family and the Qin family, although he and the Wang family are in-laws, but who doesn't want this benefit to fall on his head, he said: "Brother Wang, since this is the case, we must seize the opportunity this time, I am willing to give out a thousand ploughing cattle alone, but if you get the benefits, Brother Wang don't forget our Sun family." “

"Well said, well said." Wang Chengchou was pleasantly surprised, most of the Wang family's cultivated cattle had to be sent to the government, and there were not many remaining cultivated cattle in his hand.

The two discussed it properly, and asked Wang Shijie to take the message to the Qi Palace.

Wang Shijie arrived at the Qi Palace, and unfortunately saw Qin Chuanyun just going out of the palace, he frowned, asked the family to report, and got the answer, he went directly to the main hall.

In the main hall, Xiao Ming was holding a piece of paper with a smile on his face.

When Wang Shijie arrived at the main hall, he couldn't help asking, "When was Your Highness so happy?" ”

Xiao Ming shook the paper in front of Wang Shijie and said, "In order to support the king's Tuntian method, the Qin family and the Wei family each gave five hundred ploughing cattle to the king, which is really a loyal person. ”

Wang Shijie said contemptuously: "Your Highness, what is this, this time the foolish brother came to support His Highness's Tuntian Law, our Wang family not only sent the remaining ploughing cattle to the government, but also gave His Royal Highness another 1,500 ploughing cattle. ”

Xiao Ming pretended to be surprised, "Brother Wang, this matter is serious. ”

"Your Highness, how dare the foolish brother deceive Your Highness, this is a contract, Your Highness, please take a look." Wang Shijie took out a piece of silk cloth, on which was recorded the donation text of 1,500 cultivated cattle.

"In addition to the king, Sun Yuanwai is really a generous person, and it is not in vain that this king values you two so much." Xiao Ming said in surprise.

This time he was really happy, 2,500 ploughing cattle, and 10 households shared one ploughing ox, which was enough for 25,000 households.

More than one million households in the six states, plus the cultivated cattle purchased by aster, wealthy families in various states, and rented by wealthy households, the production mode of this production team can basically achieve most of it.

Wang Shijie was proud in his heart, the Qin family and the Wei family couldn't compare to the two of them after all, he remembered the business of this trip, and couldn't help but ask cautiously: "By the way, Your Highness, today you said that there is a new thing, I don't know what it is?" “

Xiao Ming put away the contract, he was in a good mood, and he said: "This thing is called soap, which is equivalent to pancreas, understand?" ”

"The little brother of the pancreas still knows, and the little brother is fortunate to have used it for a while." Wang Shijie recalled.

Xiao Ming nodded, in the Great Yu Kingdom, there are already people who use pig pancreas to make pancreas for bathing, that is, the primary version of soap, but this kind of pancreas production is very difficult, and generally only the concubines in the palace can use it.

Moreover, the pig pancreas used in the pancreas at this time are mixed with grass and wood ash, and the production is black and not slippery, which is very unsightly.

The reason why Xiao Ming wanted to make soap this time was because the limestone was found, and because he found the limestone, he could make alkali, and only alkali could make soap in large quantities.

At the same time, he is also about building chemical systems.

Steel can certainly change an era, but without chemistry, the steel age cannot continue to upgrade, because alloys, converter steelmaking, and even shipbuilding will need the chemical industry one after another.

With this soap production, he will train a group of talents in chemistry and develop in a balanced way.

"This soap is something more powerful than pancreas, as long as it is transported to Chang'an City, the nobles will not buy it." Xiao Ming continued.

Wang Shijie was excited, the manufacture of this pancreas is a secret thing, many businessmen want to do the business of pancreas, but they can't produce it at all.

"Your Highness, you can't be cheaper for the Qin family this time, you see, we have five hundred more cattle than them, which shows the sincerity of our Wang family." Wang Shijie said.

Xiao Ming nodded, "Don't worry, this king knows in his heart, this soap will be handed over to your Wang family, but there is one, you have to provide oil to this king." ”

"Oil? What oil? Wang Shijie was stunned.

In the country of Chongqing, pancreas exist, but no one knows that meat oil and vegetable oil can be used to make soap, only think that pig pancreas can make pancreas, and this greatly limits the production of soap.

Of course, there is one more thing, that is, alkali, the current Xiao Ming naturally can't electrolyze salt water to get alkali, but the soil method still can, which is why he is solemnly looking for limestone.

Because limestone and plant ash, alkali can be obtained.
