Chapter 52 The Butterfly Effect

"Your Highness, is this soap?"

Wang Shijie's eyes were glowing, and he reached out to get one of the soaps. He had seen pancreas, but the pancreas was dark and not as clean and beautiful as soap, and pleasing to the eye.

"Wait, I can't move yet." Xiao Ming reminded: "The soap has not completely condensed yet, so I have to wait for a day or two."

This time, Xiao Ming's method of making soap is basically a method of making handmade soaps. The technology of industrial soap is not completely adopted, because in order to accelerate the condensation speed of soaps, salting out method is also needed.

However, this method requires more accurate control of the amount of salt. Instead of doing so, it is better to cool down for two days. After all, it takes two days for the Wang family to prepare caravans and ships, which does not waste time.

Luluo also looked obsessed at this time, holding her hands in her heart, and her eyes seemed to be flashing with little stars.

He ordered Chen Longwen to watch the soap. Two days later, Xiao Ming came here in person and took away part of the soap.

He was going to send this part to Chang'an. This new thing came out and naturally he had to give it to Concubine Zhen for use, and at the same time he could also allow the concubines in the harem to promote it for themselves.

He knew very well that the folk customs were driven by these concubines.

"Your Highness, how much silver do you plan to sell this soap to us."

Two days later, Wang Shijie came to the Qi Wang Mansion to inquire about the price of soap. The soap was produced, and the pricing problem also arises.

Only the powerful and wealthy can afford this pancreas, and they are naturally the ones who sell soap this time.

"What does Brother Wang think?" Xiao Ming is not stupid. In this kind of pricing, whoever opens his mouth first will suffer first.

Wang Shijie pondered: "The pancreas in Chang'an City are only enough for the empresses in the palace. They are tributes and are almost sold in the public. In order to sell soap, Yuge specially asked someone to inquire about it. The purchase price in the palace is twenty-five taels per piece of pancreas. Our soap is much stronger than pancreas, and it is also large. One soap is enough to last a month. In this way, I think fifty taels per piece of soap is not expensive."

Fifty-two per soap is definitely a sky-high price in modern times, but the times are different, and the prices of commodities are naturally not the same. At this time, the soap was basically equivalent to modern Chanel in the country of Yu, and even higher. In this way, the price of this soap is not expensive.

After all, he sold to the most powerful and wealthiest group of people in the Great Yu Kingdom.

"What Brother Wang said is reasonable. Since that's the case, how about the king's soap piece of soap? "Xiao Ming said.

"Three taels?" Wang Shijie showed a painful expression, "Your Highness, you are giving in to the Zuixiangju of the Qin family."

"Can the Qin family's Zuixiangju shipment reach 1,500 jars at a time?" Xiao Ming said. This time, 1,500 pieces of soap were produced at one time. If Xiao Ming gave more than three taels of profit, he would be stupid.

Wang Shijie was speechless. Zuixiangju only had hundreds of jars at a time, and because of the food problem, Xiao Ming also strictly controlled the output.

Unlike this soap that you want as much as you want, even if the Wang family makes a profit of three or three, it will be a small profit but a failure. Wang Chengchou and Wang Shijie are in a clear mind.

"Since that's the case, I'll go back and discuss with my father, and come back to report to Your Highness." Wang Shijie didn't dare to reply to Xiao Ming yet.

After seeing off Wang Shijie, Xiao Ming called Li Kaiyuan over, "Our royal family and the Qin family cannot monopolize the business of our royal family, otherwise, there will be many dirty things in the middle over time. This time, I will take out 50% of the soap each, and you will transport these to the south for sale."

"Your Highness, why not bring both businesses over? In this way, will the profits be all from our royal family?" Li Kaiyuan asked. Since he became the shopkeeper of the business, his psychological changes have quickly become the role of a merchant.

Xiao Ming said: "Now the four rich tribes in Qingzhou are still very powerful. Whether it is the smooth implementation of government orders or the implementation of military farm orders, they need to cooperate. Otherwise, if they make trouble in it, the development of the fiefdom will be difficult step by step. Giving up some benefits seems to be at a disadvantage, but they will give up all the benefits everywhere for this benefit."

Li Kaiyuan said, "The official understands, so let's go to prepare a merchant ship to the south."

Xiao Ming nodded and watched Li Kaiyuan leave. The purpose of establishing a business bank was to further reclaim the commercial rights, and to prevent the Wang family and Qin family from setting prices privately.

The pricing power of Zuiqingzhou and Barbasa is in his hands, but no one can guarantee that the Wang family and Qin family will not pursue the highest profit and raise the price privately.

Now that his business is involved, the two companies will inevitably be more restrained.

Wang Shijie came back shortly after leaving. Without his surprise, the Wang family agreed, and the fool could see that he did not make less money in this business than Qin Chuanyun.

First there is Zuiqingzhou, then there is perfume and soap. Now Xiao Ming is preparing to focus on creating these three products, especially soap, which will continue to expand its scale and ingest the maximum profit.

So this winter, he is planning to devote himself to the workshop area and build a special brewing recipe, soap shop, perfume shop, steelmaking shop, hydraulic lathe shop and other workshops. In the future, this place will become the heart of Qingzhou industry.

At the same time, Li Kaiyuan's caravan, Wang's caravan, and Qin's caravan went all directions, took these goods out, and brought back huge amounts of silver. On the first winter of Xiao Ming's arrival, the wings of a small butterfly flashed from Qingzhou, and began to affect the lives of all classes in the entire Great Chongqing...

Chang'an City, in the imperial palace.

"Empress, did you use this soap last night? Oh, you don't know how comfortable it was when using this soap last night. It seemed like it was in vain when taking a shower." A concubine said.

"Isn't it? After using this, I feel that my skin has become much lubricated and it is fragrant."

"And the most important thing is that this soap can remove oil when taking a shower, and my skin is the best."

"Compared with this soap, the pancreas is really embarrassing. I asked the palace maid to take it away and I will never use it again." Another concubine expressed her opinion.

Queen Zhao smiled and watched the concubines discuss the soap. The soap was just sent by King Qi from Qingzhou. With the experience of perfume last time, the concubines quickly snatched the soap and got together the next day to talk about the soap.

Concubine De said at this time: "But there seems to be someone selling soap in Chang'an City, but how can those people outside the imperial city understand the wonderful uses of this soap?"

"That's right, Sister Zhen also said that the soap in our palace is specially provided by King Qi. The ingredients used in this soap are excellent and are not as good as ours on the outside." A concubine was proud.

Concubine Zhen and Empress Zhao looked at each other, and Queen Zhao understood and said, "The soap outside is also from King Qi. King Qi is so obedient, we should also help King Qi more."

A concubine said, "The Empress is right. I summoned my sister to the palace and told her that all the concubines in the palace were using soap."

Concubine Zhen smiled and nodded. This time, Xiao Ming bribed the right person and gained the favor of these concubines. He had no worries that no one would talk to him.
