Chapter 52: The Butterfly Effect


   "Your Highness, is this soap?"
   Wang Shijie's eyes glowed, and he reached out to grab one of the soaps. He had seen the pancreas, but the pancreas was so dark that it was as clean and beautiful as soap, and pleasing to the eye.
   "Wait, I can't move it now." Xiao Ming reminded: "The soap hasn't completely condensed. It will take a day or two."
   This time, Xiao Ming’s method of making soap is basically a method of making handmade soap. The technology of industrial soap making has not been completely adopted, because in order to accelerate the condensation speed of soap, the method of salting out is also needed in the industry.
   It’s just that this method requires a more precise control of the amount of salt. Instead of this, it’s better to cool down for two days. After all, the time for the Wang family to prepare the caravan and the ships also takes two days, but it doesn’t delay time.
   Luluo also looked obsessed at this time, holding her hands in her heart, her eyes seemed to be twinkling.
   ordered Chen Longwen to watch these soaps. Two days later, Xiao Ming came over and took away a part of the soap.
  He was going to send this part to Chang'an. When this new thing came out, it would naturally be given to Concubine Zhen to use it, and it would also allow the concubines in the harem to promote themselves.
   He knew very well that at this time, these concubines led to the folk customs.
   "Your Highness, you are going to sell this soap to us for how much silver."
   Two days later, Wang Shijie came to Prince Qi’s Mansion and asked about the price of soap. Soap was produced, and the issue of pricing also emerged.
   This pancreas itself can only be used by the rich and powerful, and the target of selling soap is naturally them.
  " What did Brother Wang think? "Xiao Ming is not stupid. In this kind of pricing, whoever opens his mouth first loses.
Wang Shijie groaned: "The pancreas in Chang'an City can only be used by the ladies in the palace. It is a tribute. It is rarely sold in the private sector. In order to sell soap, Brother Yu deliberately asked someone to ask about it. The purchase price in the palace was 20. Fifty two and one pancreas, our soap is much stronger than pancreas, and it is also big, one soap is enough to last a month, so I think fifty-two soaps are not expensive."
Fifty-two pieces of soap is definitely a sky-high price in modern times, but in different times, the price of goods is naturally different. At this time, the soap in Da Yu is basically equivalent to modern Chanel, or even higher. In comparison, the price of this soap is not expensive.
   After all, he sold to the most powerful and wealthy group of people in Dayu.
   "Brother Wang's statement is reasonable. If so, how about this soap?" Xiao Ming said.
   "Three and two?" Wang Shijie showed a painful expression, "His Royal Highness, you are very good at Drunk Xiangju of the Qin Family."
   "Then the Qin family's Zuixiangju can reach 1,500 altars in one shipment?" Xiao Ming said. This time, 1,500 soaps were produced at one time. Xiao Ming would be foolish if he allowed the profit to exceed three taels.
   Wang Shijie was speechless, Zuixiangju only had a few hundred altars at a time, and because of food problems, Xiao Ming also strictly controlled the output.
   It’s not like this soap wants as much as it wants. Even if the Wang family makes two or two profits, it will be more profitable, and Wang Chengchou and Wang Shijie’s hearts are bright.
   "In this case, I will go back to discuss with my father, and then come back to report to your Highness." Wang Shijie still dare not reply to Xiao Ming.
Wang Shijie was sent away, and Xiao Ming called Li Kaiyuan over. "Our royal family business cannot be monopolized by the Wang and Qin families. Otherwise, for a long time, I am afraid that a lot of dirty things will happen in the middle. Out of 50%, you ship these to the south to sell."
"His Royal Highness, why not take over the businesses of both companies? In this way, wouldn't the profits belong to our palace." Li Kaiyuan asked. Since he became the shopkeeper of the firm, his psychology has changed quickly and he entered quickly. The role of the businessman.
Xiao Ming said: "The power of the four tyrants in Qingzhou is still very large. Whether it is the smooth delivery of the decree or the implementation of the farming order, they need their cooperation. Otherwise, if they stumble in it, the development of the fief will be difficult and give up. A little benefit seems to suffer, but they will make a profit to this king everywhere for this benefit."
   Li Kaiyuan said, "The next official understands, now I will prepare the merchant ship to go south."
   Xiao Ming nodded and watched Li Kaiyuan leave. The purpose of his establishment of the business bank was to further recover the business power, and also to prevent the Wang family and the Qin family from setting prices privately.
   Zui Qingzhou and Soap’s pricing power are in his hands, but no one can guarantee that the Wang family and the Qin family will not seek the highest profit and raise prices privately.
   Now let his firm participate, and the two will inevitably converge.
  Wang Shijie came back not long after he left. To his surprise, the Wang family agreed, and the fool could see that he made no less profit than Qin Chuanyun.
   First there was Zuiqingzhou, then perfume and soap. Now Xiao Ming is going to focus on creating these three products, especially the soap will continue to expand in scale to maximize profits.
   So this winter, he is going to devote himself to the workshop area to build a series of workshops such as special brewing workshops, soap workshops, perfume workshops, steel smelting workshops, hydraulic lathe workshops, etc. In the future, this will become the heart of Qingzhou's industry.
At the same time, Li Kaiyuan’s caravan, Wang’s caravan, and Qin’s caravan went in all directions, took these commodities and brought back a huge amount of silver. In the first winter when Xiao Ming arrived, The wings of a small butterfly flickered from Qingzhou, and it began to affect the lives of all classes in the whole country...
  Chang'an City, in the palace.
"Queen mother, did you use this soap last night? Oh, you don’t know how comfortable it is to use this soap when you took a bath last night, like it was white when you took a bath before. Washed." A concubine said.
   "Isn't it? After using this, I feel my skin is smoother, and it smells good."
   "And the most important thing is that this soap can remove the oil when taking a bath. My skin is the most oily."
   "Compared with this soap, the pancreas is really shameful, I let the palace maid throw it away, and I won't use it again." Another concubine expressed his opinion.
Empress Zhao watched with a smile the concubine's discussion about soap. This soap was just sent by King Qi from Qingzhou. With the experience of perfume last time, the concubines quickly emptied the soap, and the next day. Get together and talk about this soap.
   De Fei said at this time: "But there seems to be someone selling soap in this Chang'an city, but how do those outside the imperial city understand the magical effect of this soap."
   "Yes, Sister Zhenfei also said that the soap in our palace was specially provided by the king of Qi. The materials used in this soap are all high-quality, and the outside is not comparable to ours." A concubine triumphed.
   Concubine Zhen and Empress Zhao looked at each other. Empress Zhao knew in her heart and said: "The soap outside is also from King Qi. King Qi is so obedient, we should help King Qi."
  A concubine said: "The empress is right. I will call my sister into the palace and tell her that all the concubines in the palace are using soap."
   Concubine Zhen nodded with a smile. This time, Xiao Ming was bribing the right person and gained the favor of these concubines, so there is no need to worry about anyone speaking to him.
