Chapter 1259 Want to Do Business?

After Cao Jie arranged the investment in the soap workshop, the wives of the nobles also prepared quickly.

It took only three days to arrange the craftsmen who built the new soap workshop and the craftsmen who produced soap.

Next, in addition to the soap workshop near the West Gate, the other three new soap workshops started construction at the same time.

The nobles who invested in the soap workshops liked to go around the soap workshops under construction when they had nothing to do.

Now, in addition to Cao Jie, the people who most wanted the soap workshop to start construction were the nobles and their wives.

After Cao Jie checked the progress of the soap workshop construction, he came to the soap workshop at the West Gate.

This soap workshop is about to start construction, and the raw materials and craftsmen are already in place.

And after this soap workshop starts construction, it will also undertake the task of training soap production craftsmen.

The craftsmen arranged by the nobles will be trained here before they can be assigned to other soap workshops to produce soap.

At this time, in the soap workshop at the west gate, craftsmen were making soaps. Each craftsman was followed by two or three craftsmen arranged by the gentry to learn.

The production of the soap workshop is similar to the steam engine production line, which separates each process.

This will not only improve the efficiency of production, but also reduce the training time of craftsmen.

After taking a look, Cao Jie returned to the palace with satisfaction.

"My husband, the soap workshop has been arranged. The three new workshops are expected to start work in half a month."

After returning to the palace, Cao Jie said happily after seeing Bai Feng.

Before, Cao Jie had never thought that it would be so smooth. It was a good arrangement to let the Yecheng gentry invest in the soap workshop.

Whether it was craftsmen or sales, plus the subsequent store problems, they could be easily solved.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work."

Bai Feng smiled at Cao Jie.

During this time in Yecheng, Bai Feng spent every day admiring flowers in the imperial garden, helping Cao Cao to regulate his body, and planning the construction plan of the railway after the successful manufacture of the steam locomotive.

The days were both fulfilling and pleasant.

Bai Feng felt that the roles between him and Cao Jie seemed to have suddenly reversed.

In the past, it was Cao Jie who arranged the big and small things in the mansion, and Bai Feng was fighting outside.

Now it is Bai Feng who spends his days leisurely in the palace, and Cao Jie is making great efforts in the business world.

"It's quite interesting when I think about it carefully."

The more Bai Feng thought about it, the more interesting it became.

"By the way, husband, did any letters arrive from Hanzhong today?"

Cao Jie thought of the soap workshop in Hanzhong, and it should also send this month's sales and production reports to him for review.

It is indeed a bit inconvenient in Yecheng, and the correspondence takes too much time.

Cao Jie also hopes that the steam locomotive can be manufactured earlier.

In this way, the soap can be sold well throughout the Wei Dynasty.

"Not yet, but Jie'er, you don't have to worry. Diao Chan and Cai Wenji will manage the soap workshop without any mistakes."

The last time Bai Feng and Cao Jie went to Yecheng, the production and sales of the soap workshop were managed by Diao Chan and Cai Wenji, and there were no mistakes.

Cao Jie nodded when he heard this. Diao Chan and Cai Wenji followed him and participated in all aspects of the soap workshop. Their abilities were sufficient.

It's just that Cao Jie wants to see the growth of Hanzhong soap sales data as soon as possible. This is Cao Jie's favorite thing to do every month, which gives him a special sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

"Although there is no letter from Hanzhong, your two brothers' wives have sent invitations to each other."

"And invite you to a banquet at their house."

Then Bai Feng took out two invitations and said to Cao Jie.

Cao Jie was stunned when he heard this.

Why did Zhen Mi and Xie send invitations at this time, and the invitations did not invite Bai Feng to a banquet at their house, but invited themselves?

Cao Jie took the invitation from Bai Feng with some doubts.

After reading it, she realized that Zhen Mi and Xie also wanted to invest in the soap workshop.

"My husband, what do you think?"

Then Cao Jie asked Bai Feng. Cao Jie was still undecided about Cao Zhi and Cao Pi's investment in the soap workshop.

She understood that Bai Feng didn't want to have too much contact with Cao Zhi or Cao Pi at this time.

However, after the experience of the gentry investing in the soap workshop before, Cao Jie believed that Cao Zhi and Cao Pi's investment in the soap workshop would enable the soap workshop to develop more rapidly.

"Since they all want to invest in the soap workshop, it's not impossible for you to talk about it. After all, they are both your sisters-in-law, and there is no need for me to come forward."

"If they can accept the conditions for investing in the soap workshop, let them invest. This is also a good thing for the future development of the soap workshop."

Bai Feng is not so shy about business matters.

Cao Jie only needs to come forward to communicate about the soap workshop. He is still within Cao Cao's sight and can spend a pleasant time in the palace.

"Well, I understand."

Cao Jie smiled at Bai Feng. She also hopes to let Cao Zhi and Cao Pi invest in the soap workshop.

This has nothing to do with the power and the prince's struggle. It's just to make the soap workshop bigger and stronger.

In addition, Cao Jie heard from Chen, the shopkeeper, in Yecheng these days that a small part of the soap has appeared in the trade between Xianbei and Dawei.

The high-end soap, which originally sold for about ten taels of silver, has been hyped up to fifty taels of silver in the trade!

Even if the price has increased by more than five times, it is not available if you want to buy it.

This made Cao Jie understand that as long as the production of soap can keep up, it will be equally popular even if it is sold to the Kushan Empire and the Parthian Empire.

With the support of Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, plus the support of the gentry in Yecheng, the construction speed of the soap workshop will be greatly improved.

Not only will soap workshops be built in Hanzhong, Yizhou and Yecheng, but also in Youzhou, Liangzhou, Guangzhou and other places in the future.

Then Cao Jie asked Liuli and Zhang Qiying to reply to Zhen Mi and Xie respectively, and she would meet with them at the same time.

As for going to the mansion for a banquet, Cao Jie did not agree, and directly arranged a table of delicacies at the restaurant where he had a banquet with the ladies of the gentry last time.

After receiving Cao Jie's reply, Zhen Mi and Xie told Cao Zhi and Cao Pi the news as soon as possible.

Cao Zhi and Cao Pi thought that Cao Jie must have been reminded by Bai Feng to see their wives at the same time.

In order to avoid others thinking that Bai Feng and Cao Zhi or Cao Pi were too close.

However, in the end, Cao Zhi and Cao Pi still let Zhen Mi and Xie go to the banquet.

Even if the final result was just to invest in the soap workshop, it would not be a loss, but a profit.
