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 pancreas, but it was so dark that it was as clean and beautiful as soap, and pleasing to the eye.

"Wait, I can't move now." Xiao Ming reminded: "The soap hasn't completely congealed yet, and we have to wait a day or two."

This time, Xiao Ming's method of making soap is basically the production method of handmade soap, and he did not fully adopt the technology of industrial soap making, because in order to speed up the coagulation speed of soap, the method of salting out is also needed.

It's just that this method requires more precise control of the amount of salt. Instead, it's better to cool it down for two days. After all, the Wang family only needs two days to prepare the caravan and ships, so it doesn't waste time.

Luluo also looked obsessed at this time, holding her hands in her heart, and her eyes seemed to have small stars twinkling.

Chen Longwen was ordered to watch over the soap, and after two days, Xiao Ming came over in person and took part of the soap away.

This part is to be sent to Chang'an. When this new product comes out, it will naturally be given to Concubine Zhen for use, and at the same time, it will also allow the concubines in the harem to promote it to him.

He knew very well that at this time, the popular fashion was driven by these concubines.

"Your Highness, how many taels of silver are you going to sell this soap to us?"

Two days later, Wang Shijie came to Prince Qi's mansion to ask about the price of the soap. The soap was produced, and the issue of pricing also came out.

This pancreas itself can only be used by the rich and powerful, and the target of this soap sale is naturally them.

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

Wang Shijie pondered: "This pancreas in Chang'an City is only enough for the ladies in the palace. It is a tribute, and it is hardly sold in the private sector. In order to sell soap, Yudi specially asked people to ask. The price of the purchase in the palace is twenty. Five taels of pancreas, our soap is much stronger than pancreas, and it is also big, one piece of soap is enough for a month, so I don’t think fifty taels of soap is expensive.”

Fifty-two pieces of soap is definitely an exorbitant price in modern times, but the price of commodities is naturally not the same in different times. At this time, the soap at this time is basically equivalent to the modern Chanel in Da Yu, and even higher, so In comparison, the price of this soap is not expensive.

After all, what he sold to was the most powerful and wealthy group of people in Dayu Country.

"Brother Wang's words are reasonable. In this case, how about this piece of soap for the king to give you five taels?" Xiao Ming said.

"Three taels?" Wang Shijie showed a pained expression, "Your Highness, you are the 10 taels of the Qin family's Zuiqingzhou."

"Then the Qin family's Zuiqingzhou can reach 1,500 altars in one shipment?" Xiao Ming said. This time, 1,500 pieces of soap were produced at one time. Xiao Ming would be stupid if he made more than three taels of profit.

Wang Shijie was speechless, Zuiqingzhou only had several hundred altars at a time, and because of the food problem, 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 a profit, it will be more than a small profit. Wang Chengchou and Wang Shijie have a good heart.

"In that case, I'll go back and discuss with my father, and then come back and report to His Highness." Wang Shijie didn't dare to answer Xiao Ming yet.

After sending Wang Shijie away, Xiao Ming called Li Kaiyuan over, "Our royal family's business cannot be monopolized by the Wang family and the Qin family, otherwise there will be a lot of dirty things in the long run. Fifty percent, you ship these to the south to sell."

"His Royal Highness, why don't you take over the business of the two companies, so that the profits are all from our palace." Li Kaiyuan asked, since he became the shopkeeper of the business, his psychology changed quickly, and he quickly entered the up the role of businessman.

Xiao Ming said: "Nowadays, the four noble clans in Qingzhou are still very powerful. Whether it is the smooth passage of the government decree or the implementation of the decree on the field, they need their cooperation. A little profit seems to be at a disadvantage, but they will give benefits to this king everywhere for this benefit."

Li Kaiyuan said, "Xiaguan understands, let's prepare the merchant ship to go to the south."

Xiao Ming nodded and watched Li Kaiyuan leave. The purpose of his establishment of the business was to further recover the business rights, and also to prevent the Wang family and Qin family from setting prices privately.

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

Now let his firm get involved, and the two will inevitably converge a little bit.

Wang Shijie came back not long after he left. No surprise to him, the Wang family agreed, and the fool could see that he made no less money than Qin Chuanyun in this business.

Zuiqingzhou first, then perfume and soap. Now Xiao Ming is going to focus on creating these three products, especially soap will continue to expand and maximize profits.

So this winter, he plans to devote himself to the workshop area and set up a series of workshops such as special brewing workshop, soap workshop, perfume workshop, steel making workshop, water lathe workshop, etc. 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 in all directions. They went out with these goods and brought back a huge amount of silver. In the first winter of Xiao Ming's arrival, a The wings of a small butterfly flickered from Qingzhou and began to affect the lives of all classes in the entire Great Yu Kingdom...

Chang'an City, in the palace.

"Empress Empress, did you use this soap last night? Oh, you don't know how comfortable it is when you used this soap in the shower last night, as if you washed it in vain in the past." A concubine said.

"Isn't it? After using this, I feel my skin is much smoother and smells good."

"And the most important thing is that this soap can remove oil when bathing. My skin is the most oily."

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

Empress Zhao smiled and watched the concubines discuss the soap. This soap was just sent by King Qi from Qingzhou. With the experience of the last perfume, the concubines quickly snapped up the soap. Get together to talk about this soap.

At this time, Concubine De said: "But it seems that someone in Chang'an City is selling soap, but how do those people outside the imperial city understand the magic of this soap?"

"Yes, Concubine Zhen also said that the soap in our palace is specially provided by King Qi. The materials used in this soap are all of the best quality, and the outside is not as good as ours." A concubine was triumphant.

Concubine Zhen and Queen 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 help King Qi more."

One of the concubines 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 smiled and nodded. This time Xiao Ming had bribed the right person and won the favor of these concubines, so no one had to worry about speaking to him.
