Chapter 68 Expanding Influence
A pair of iron faces slowly buckled on Wang Xuan's face, and Pang Yukun smiled.
The next day, Xiao Ming met Wang Xuan in Pang Yukun's mouth, a pale and even a little malnourished boy. Can such a person really be competent for the secret guards' job walking in the dark?
"The heart is the most important!" This is what Pang Yukun explained to Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming chose to believe the firmness revealed in Wang Xuan's eyes, because now he really has no suitable candidate, and Wang Xuan, who is alone, seems to be a good choice.
"Do you understand the skills that Secret Guards need to master?" Xiao Ming asked.
Wang Xuan shook his head, but said, "If you don't succeed, you will be successful!"
Xiao Ming nodded slowly. This was a person devoured by hatred and had enough desire to do this. He said, "From now on, you will live under this iron face. From today on, you will be my king's left guard, and I will introduce a colleague."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li San turned around and came out from behind the screen in the main hall.
Xiao Ming continued, "He is Li San, and he is my king's person. The secret guards are of great importance. I cannot trust you all because it is related to my life. Therefore, the secret guards are set as the left and right guards. You are the left guards, and Li San is the right guard. They want to compete with each other. If anyone can beat whoever, when the left and right guards merge in the future, who will be the chief officer."
Wang Xuan looked at Li San, and there was no change in his expression under his iron face. He said coldly: "Your Highness, this position of chief official must be mine!"
Li San curled his lips. Last night, Xiao Ming found him and talked about the secret guards. He was really shocked, but when he thought of being able to turn from a servant in the royal palace into a secret guard in Xiao Ming's hand overnight, the smart Li San naturally knew how to choose.
"Everyone can tell big things, I, Li San, are not a pustule," Li San said.
Seeing this, Pang Yukun understood Xiao Ming's thoughts. This secret guard was related to Xiao Ming's fortune and life. Naturally, he could not give the secret guard full power to Wang Xuan, whom he recommended. Li San was a pawn that restricted Wang Xuan.
However, Pang Yukun was not angry, but felt relieved, which shows that Xiao Ming had the quality of being a vassal king - caution.
For Xiao Ming, Wang Xuan gave him a feeling of being ready to die. It would be terrible for such a person to do something, but when it comes to establishing a secret guard, Wang Xuan, like Li San, has zero knowledge reserves, and he still needs to teach.
Pang Yukun sent Wang Xuan and returned to the Governor's Office to work on his own government affairs.
Xiao Ming temporarily placed Wang Xuan in the Bowen Academy. During the following period, he and Li Sanhui received comprehensive espionage knowledge training.
Just as Xiao Ming followed the steps and built his fiefdom step by step, the influence he brought also spread with the merchants in the Great Chongqing Kingdom.
Especially new products can always be quickly transmitted to the prosperous prefectures and counties of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.
Chang'an.
With the mass production of soap in Qingzhou, soap has continued to pour into Chang'an, becoming a daily necessity purchased by high-ranking officials and nobles. Nowadays, not only concubines in the palace, but also the people of the people are even glorious about getting a piece of soap.
The first time the perfume appeared in the East and West Markets in Chang'an after soap caused a sensation.
Xiao Ming chose to produce perfume first, because according to historical records, when perfume first appeared in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, it did cause a sensation among women.
It is precisely because of the case that he is convinced that perfume must have a market in Dayu Country, and facts have proved his idea.
At a poetry competition somewhere in Chang'an, a young lady from a certain family swayed across the market with a strong perfume smell.
The rich fragrance made other ladies unable to help but cover their noses.
Other ladies were envious of the people. Now that perfume is in short supply, this lady is naturally enviable for being so luxurious.
At the same poetry competition, a screen separated the students, and several scholars were surrounded by 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 used by women?"
Brother Wang gave the scholar a blank look and said, "What do you know? This is the latest male Gulong perfume launched by the Qi Wang Mansion. It is said that women will not help but stick it on after smelling it."
"Is that true?" A scholar became more and more envious.
Brother Wang was proud of himself, "This Gulong perfume was launched just two days ago. When it was sold in Dongshi, I went to buy it. I don't know how many ladies from all over the way turned around and looked back. It is said that many famous ladies from this poetry competition, and you know... "
When a scholar heard this, he immediately said, "Brother Wang, I will not accompany you in several ways, I want to go and make some more convenient."
"I want to go and make it easier, too."
“…”
In a blink of an eye, only Brother Wang was left, but in a short while, the scholars came back, and their bodies were fragrant.
In the Wangjia store in Dongcheng City, Qin Mu apologized and sent away the son of an official, all because the male perfume was sold out.
He now admires Xiao Ming a little. Before he went to Chang'an, he went to the Qi Palace to visit Xiao Ming because this is a routine. Wang Shijie would visit Xiao Ming every time he went to Chang'an, and asked what Xiao Ming needed, and then bought it back from Chang'an.
Before leaving, Xiao Ming told him this method and made a bet that the perfume used for men actually does not exist. Xiao Ming just found a reason for men to use perfume.
Sure enough, after this argument was spread, many young men came over to buy perfume.
But he couldn't be happy because he lost, and this loss was another ten thousand taels of silver. In his opinion, the King of Qi now loves money as his life and tries his best to squeeze out oil and water from them.
Of course, they made a lot of money from these goods sold, but they were incomparable to the silver that King Qi earned.
This time, Xiao Ming not only gave him this method, but also asked him to give some things to the palace. He thought that it was time to go to the palace now.
As he thought, the concubines in the palace were fighting for their own unique perfume, and what was rare was that Xiao Wenxuan also came to the harem this time.
"Your Majesty, this is the perfume Minger specially made for you. It is said that it can refresh your mind and relieve fatigue."
Queen Zhao handed a bottle of perfume to Xiao Wenxuan. After the batch of perfume arrived, Queen Zhao was surprised to find that there was a special perfume belonging to the emperor.
She opened the letter and found out after she saw it. Then she asked the palace maid to drink Xiao Wenxuan and said, but she didn't expect that Xiao Wenxuan was interested in perfume and came here.
