Chapter 68: Expanding Influence

An iron mask slowly buckled on Wang Xuan's face, and Pang Yukun smiled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, Xiao Ming saw Wang Xuan in Pang Yukun's mouth, a pale and even somewhat malnourished teenager, is such a person really qualified for the job of walking in the dark like a secret guard?

"The heart is the most important thing!" This is Pang Yukun's explanation to Xiao Ming.

From the firmness revealed in Wang Xuan's eyes, Xiao Ming chose to believe it, because now he really has no suitable candidate, and Wang Xuan, who is alone, seems to be a good choice.

"Do you know what it takes to be a secret guard?" Xiao Ming asked.

Wang Xuan shook his head, but said, "If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!" ”

Xiao Ming nodded slowly, this is a person who is devoured by hatred, and he has enough desire to do this, he said: "From now on, you will live under this iron mask, from today on, you will be the left guard of this king, and this king will also introduce a colleague." “

As soon as his words fell, Li San turned around and came out from behind the screen in the main hall.

Xiao Ming continued: "His name is Li San, he is the king's person, the matter of the secret guard is important, the king can't trust you, because this is related to the value of the king's life, so the secret guard is set as the left and right guards, you are the left guard, Li San is the right guard, think about each other, if who can beat whom, when the left and right guards merge in the future, who will be the chief official." “

Wang Xuan glanced at Li San, his expression could not be seen under the iron mask, and he said coldly: "Your Highness, this position of chief official must be mine!" ”

Li San pursed his lips, he was really startled when Xiao Ming came to him last night to talk about the secret guard, but thinking that he could become a secret guard in Xiao Ming's hands overnight from the family of the palace, the shrewd Li San naturally knew how to choose.

"Anyone can talk big, I, Li San, am not a pustule." Li San said.

Seeing this, Pang Yukun understood Xiao Ming's thoughts in his heart, this secret guard matter is related to Xiao Ming's net worth, and he naturally can't give the secret guard full authority to Wang Xuan, who he recommended, and this Li San is a pawn that hinders Wang Xuan.

However, Pang Yukun was not angry, but felt relieved, which showed that Xiao Ming already had a quality as a vassal king - cautious.

For Xiao Ming, Wang Xuan gave him a feeling of seeing death as home, it would be terrible for such a person to do something, but in the matter of establishing secret guards, Wang Xuan, like Li San, has zero knowledge reserves, which still needs him to teach.

Pang Yukun sent Wang Xuan over, and then went back to the governor's mansion to be busy with his own government affairs.

Xiao Ming temporarily placed Wang Xuan in the Bowen Hall, and during the following period, he and Li San would receive comprehensive training in espionage knowledge.

Just when Xiao Ming was building his own fiefdom step by step, his influence also spread with the merchants in the Great Yu Kingdom.

In particular, new commodities can always be quickly spread to the prosperous states and counties of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

Changan.

With the mass production of soap in Qingzhou, a steady stream of soap continues to pour into Chang'an, becoming a daily necessities purchased by dignitaries and dignitaries, and now not only the concubines in the palace, but also the people even take a piece of soap as glory.

And the first appearance of perfume in the east and west markets of Chang'an after soap caused a sensation.

It was not without basis that Xiao Ming chose to produce perfume first, because according to historical records, when perfume first appeared in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, it did cause a sensation among women.

It is precisely because of the case that he is convinced that there must be a market for perfume in Dayu, and the facts have proved his idea.

At a poetry competition somewhere in Chang'an, a certain eldest lady swaggered through the market with a strong smell of perfume.

The rich fragrance made the other ladies couldn't help but cover their noses.

The other ladies were envious for a while, and now that perfume is in short supply, this young lady can be so extravagant and naturally enviable.

At the same poetry competition, a screen separated them, and several scholars were gathered in front of a fragrant scholar.

"Brother Wang is really as fragrant as a flower now, which makes me envious." A scholar said, "But isn't this perfume for women?" ”

Brother Wang glanced at the scholar, "What do you know, this is the latest male cologne perfume launched by the Qi Palace, and it is said that women can't help but stick it when they smell it." ”

"Really?" A kind of scholar is more and more envious.

Brother Wang was smug, "This cologne perfume was just launched two days ago, when it was just sold in the East Market, I went to buy it, I don't know how many ladies turned around and looked back along the way, this poetry meeting is said to have come to a lot of famous ladies, you know ......"

When a certain scholar heard this, he immediately said: "Brother Wang, if you don't accompany you, I'm going to make it easier." ”

"I'm going to make it easier too."

“……”

In a blink of an eye, only Brother Wang was left, but after a while, those scholars returned, and their bodies were more fragrant than the other.

In the Wang's store in Dongshi, Qin Mu sent away the son of an official with an apology and an apology, all because the men's perfume was sold out.

He admires Xiao Ming a little now, before he went to Chang'an, he went to the Qi Palace, because this is a custom, Wang Shijie will visit Xiao Ming every time he goes to Chang'an, by the way, ask Xiao Ming what he needs, and then purchase it from Chang'an.

Before leaving, Xiao Ming told him this method, and made a bet, in fact, there is no men's perfume, Xiao Ming just found a reason for men to use perfume.

Sure enough, after this statement spread, many sons came over to buy perfume.

However, he couldn't be happy, because he lost, and this loss was another 10,000 taels of silver, in his opinion, the current King of Qi simply loves money like life, and tries his best to squeeze oil and water from them.

Of course, they made a lot of money from these goods sold, but compared to the silver taels earned by King Qi, they really couldn't compare.

This time, in addition to handing him over this method, Xiao Ming also asked him to give the palace a little something, and he thought that it was time to go to the palace at this time.

Just as he thought, at this time, the concubines in the palace were competing for their own unique perfumes, and it was rare that Xiao Wenxuan also arrived in the harem this time.

"Your Majesty, this is the perfume specially made by Ming'er for you, which is said to refresh the mind and relieve fatigue."

Empress Zhao handed a bottle of perfume to Xiao Wenxuan, and after this batch of perfume arrived, Empress Zhao was surprised to find that there was a special perfume belonging to the emperor.

She opened the letter and looked at it, and then asked the palace maid to drink Xiao Wenxuan and said, I didn't expect Xiao Wenxuan to be interested in perfume and come here.

"Your Majesty, in addition to perfume, there is also a special soap, according to Ming'er's letter, this soap and perfume have added some medicinal materials, which is very good for the body." Concubine Zhen then brought another piece of soap.
