Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 154 Soap Is Not Cheap
The projects that make money are all paid for in the "Wu De Law" that is being written. Some of them have to be exchanged freely for decades, and some have to be exchanged with their heads. Li Zhiyun will definitely not use those.

White sugar is a sharp tool to make money, but Li Zhiyun doesn't plan to take it out now, because it involves the qualitative problem of white sugar.

This thing is edible, and it is loved by everyone regardless of age group. Once it appears on the market, it will definitely become popular quickly.Even if Li Zhiyun uses the 'brown sugar' which has failed to decolorize now, it can quickly become popular all over the world.

But the problem is, its profits are horrendous.

Li Zhiyun can imagine that once the candy he made is taken out, everyone from the eighty-year-old to the three-year-old child will not put it down.Not to mention becoming a human necessity like salt, it will also become an existence like cooking oil.

Royal family, dignitaries and meritorious service, common people, three religions and nine streams, sugar can cover all ages and all classes of human beings.

Think about it, how much does this cost?

Moreover, this is not a one-time money-making project, it is a permanent source of money.With the sweetness of white sugar, as long as they can't die from eating it, the people of Tang Dynasty will eat it to death.

Because there is nothing on the market that can compete with white sugar in sweetness!

The sugar making process in the early Tang Dynasty was not sophisticated enough. The gray sugar made from sugar cane was basically for children to eat, and most people would not even look at it.

White sugar is unique!
Not to mention, if white sugar is spread to the grasslands and the Western Regions in the future, the profits will be unimaginable.

It is precisely because of this that Li Zhiyun dare not take it out.

Because he took it out, he couldn't keep it alone.At that time, not to mention the jealousy of the aristocratic family, the emperor will also be jealous of the profit.

These days, apart from the aristocratic family, the emperor is not rich.Lao Li wanted to take private money from the court, but at most it was a few thousand guan, and if he took too much, there would be problems.

Therefore, Li Zhiyun has been refraining from producing white sugar and rock sugar, because he can't afford the profits alone.

Now he wants to come up with a product that can make money without making money so enviable.

The raw materials of this kind of thing have to be cheap, and the production process has to be simple.

After much deliberation, Li Zhiyun decided on soap.

The production of soap is relatively simple, and the raw materials are not valuable.

Ordinary soap can be made with water, lard, plant ash, and table salt.One of the most valuable raw materials is salt.

Water can be taken from the Weihe River at will.Lard is even cheaper. The pigs in common people's homes are generally kept in toilets, and basically no one eats pork.If you dislike pork dirty, you can use vegetable oil or other animal fat instead, no problem.As for the plant ash, it is even simpler. The common people don't know the usefulness of this thing at all. After burning the straw, they just throw it away, and they can get it everywhere.

Although soap is useful, it is not a necessity of life, and there is no huge temptation for people without sugar.Human beings will not die without soap, nor can they resist it.Moreover, food is a problem for the common people at present, and it is estimated that not many people are willing to buy such a luxury as soap.

Therefore, Li Zhiyun made soap, and the profits were not as terrible as white sugar.

After all, white sugar is edible, and it is sweet enough, so the market is too broad.Soap is different. Although it is novel and practical, it is possible to live without soap.

Dead on, soap!

A few days later, Chu Palace.

"Husband, what is this, why is it so greasy and fragrant?"

This is soap, can it not be slippery?

Princess Chu washed her hands with the soap that Li Zhiyun sent, and found that her hands not only turned white, but also became fragrant!
This is a high-end soap, and Li Zhiyun has added the most spices in it.

"It's called soap."

Princess Chu is ignorant, why is it called soap?

Li Zhiyun asked: "My lady, do you like soap?"

"I like it." Princess Chu picked up the slippery soap and said, "It smells so good. My daughter's family should like it."

Although it was the first time she saw soap, she immediately fell in love with its aroma and hand-washing and stain-removing functions.

That's right, nowadays people use flower petals to take a bath, but the effect may not be as good as a bar of soap.

"Then how much do you think this one is worth?" Li Zhiyun asked, pointing to the square of soap in her hand.

"I've never heard of this thing, I've never seen it before, I'm afraid it's not cheap." Princess Chu asked, "Where did you get it?"

Having said that, Li Zhiyun immediately knew that this thing can take the high-end route.

Li Zhiyun said: "Guess how much it is."

Yang thought for a while and guessed: "Two hundred Wen?"

"So expensive?" Li Zhiyun raised his eyebrows, the price in his heart was one hundred coins.After all, the cost price of a bar of soap is only thirty cash.

Yang Shi explained: "Husband, this product is not only fragrant, but also can be used to wash hands and decontaminate. After washing, hands will also become fragrant. Even ordinary spices are not as strong. How can it be not expensive. "

Yes, he forgot, spices are so expensive, how can that scented soap be cheap?
Made, send it.

"Good lady!"

Li Zhiyun hugged his wife and kissed her.

Yang's blushing face spat at him, "The servants are still here."

He decided to make soap separately, a high-end line with spices.One that goes the low-end route, unspiced.

"Husband, where did you buy this thing?"

"If you like it, I will give it to you every day in the future." Li Zhiyun said boldly.

Yang explained: "The concubine wants to give some to the mother and concubine in the palace. Her old man must like this thing."

Wait, Miyazawa, woman?

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun thought to himself, isn't this Nima just a celebrity endorsement delivered to her door.

"Good lady!"

Li Zhiyun hugged his wife and kissed again.

This time, the servants and servants all retreated, they felt that the king must have an in-depth communication with the princess next.

Yang pushed him shyly and joyfully, looking forward to her husband's next move.

Since Yin's child was born, she was very envious, but she just couldn't get pregnant.

"In a few days, when you go to the palace to pay your respects, you will not only give it to the concubine mother, but also to the empresses of each palace. No, there are also the crown princesses in the East Palace, Princess Qin, Princess Qi, and the noble ladies you know, Send some!"

The main sales customers of this thing are women, as long as it can quickly become popular among the ladies of the Tang Dynasty, there is absolutely no need to worry about sales!

In this regard, he has a natural advantage!

Winning the hearts of the noble ladies of the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to winning the pockets of the honorable ladies of the Tang Dynasty.

Made, this time it really happened.

Young: "."

I'm ready, but you let me bring the goods?
"Husband, why did you give it to these people?"

Next, Li Zhiyun and his wife talked about the source of the soap, and then the servants outside the room heard Princess Chu's surprised and joyful cries from inside the room.

The servants looked at each other, too shy.

The king is so powerful, and the princess is so satisfied.

After discussing with his wife, Li Zhiyun realized that the profit of soap was probably not small. After thinking about it, he decided to find some people to join him.

It's not impossible to eat alone, but it's just that you will inevitably be jealous.A good guy with three gangs, and a few more people invest together, this is the only way to be prudent.

Last time he sold tea, he asked Li Daoxuan and Li Daozong to participate in the shares. This time he sold soap, these two people can also win over.

But only the two of them can't, because they are too young, and he has to find another clan with some weight.

Apart from the clan, Li Zhiyun currently does not plan to cooperate with outsiders, because it is not the time yet.
