Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 156

At the beginning, Li Zhiyun planned to make soaps into two types: high-end brands and low-end brands, but as the reputation of soaps fermented and the number of customers increased, low-end brands could only be brought out in the future. Open.

The word-of-mouth reputation of soap is top-down. First, the ladies praised it, and then it became the discussion of men.

It is rumored that some animals from the Ministry of Rites went to Pingkangfang to drink, and when they were exchanging body art with their old friends, they suddenly found that the taste was not right.

"What kind of spice does San Niang use? But Tang Xiang?"

Little lady: "???"

Within a few days, everyone in Pingkangfang knew why the business suddenly went bad.It's not that the guests change their ways and go home to love their wives.

It was the appearance of Tang Xiang.

With the joining of Pingkangfang's strength, Tang Xiang quickly sold out, and the kind sold to close the door.

In the east and west cities, Li Shuliang had only two shops, which were not sold at all.

And Li Zhiyun also broke the production due to insufficient preparation.In desperation, he could only build two more workshops on the side of the Weihe River, and then directly sent troops to protect the production, and no one was allowed to approach.

That was his private territory, anyone who approached it privately, once caught, would put it in a sack and sink it in the river.

At the same time, he selected many honest and responsible people from the tenant farmers attached to the Chu Palace to help make soap.

After finishing the production, Li Zhiyun organized a bureau in Pingkangfang, and invited Li Shuliang, Li Daoxuan, and Li Daozong to dinner.It was finally finalized that for the Jingzhao Mansion, Li Shuliang would get [-]% of the goods, Li Daoxuan and Li Daozong would get [-]% of the goods, and Li Zhiyun would distribute the remaining [-]% ​​of the goods.

All are happy.

In a few days, several Tangxiang shops have opened in the eastern and western cities.This time, it finally perfectly meets the needs of the ladies of Chang'an.

Seeing Tang Xianghong turning purple, a small number of officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs secretly attacked and were beaten up by their superiors.

Because, Li Shuliang found a time to invite the big and small heads of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to have a meal and stuffed some money for tea.

The cows, ghosts and snakes are managed smoothly, and Tang Xiang's sales are also unimpeded.

And in the palace, Li Shuliang gave tea money, which made old Li Xi smile even more.

The little officials below are not well informed, so of course they don't know who is behind Tang Xiang.The ministers of the DPRK and China are naturally clear in their hearts. Although they are jealous of the soap's income, they have nothing to do.

Because behind the soap are Changping King Li Shuliang, Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan, Lueyang County Duke Li Daozong, and it is rumored that there is also a Chu king who also has a share.It even seems to have something to do with hearing about the saint in the palace.

How can this fucker take it by force?

Of course, the censor who likes to gossip also got Li Shuliang's hush money.If Li Zhiyun monopolizes the profits of the soap, there may be a censor complaining about Li Zhiyun and the people for profit.

However, the popularity of soap is only temporary. After all, its main customers are women.Even so, Li Zhiyun, Li Shuliang, Li Daoxuan, and Li Daozong made a lot of money due to the monopoly benefits.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the courtiers did not lose their minds.If this was replaced by white sugar that everyone loves, the four of Li Zhiyun would not be able to bear it.

Chu palace.

"My lady, how much did you earn this month?" Li Zhiyun asked Princess Chu who was across from the case while drinking tea.

"Oh, Alang Mo wants to interrupt."

Concubine Chu muttered, and with a pair of skillful hands, she strung Kaiyuan Tongbao in a smooth manner.

In addition to Kaiyuan Tongbao, there are also five baht coins from the former Sui Dynasty.Although Lao Li had already started to issue Kaiyuan Tongbao, there was no way to recover all the five baht coins from the former Sui Dynasty in a short time.In addition, the territory is not big enough, and the world has not yet been unified, so the spread of Kaiyuan Tongbao is not wide enough.

Seeing that his wife had no time to take care of him, Li Zhiyun had no choice but to pick up the ledger and calculate by himself.

In half a stick of incense time, he basically figured out this month's income.

About five thousand hanging.

Well, this income barely meets his budget.After all, soap has just been born, it is fresh and novel, and with the gathering of nobles in Chang'an, the purchasing power is definitely not bad.

In another two months, when everyone gets familiar with it, profits will definitely drop.But no matter how much it falls, at least two to three thousand hanging profits per month.

Earn blood.

When Luoyang and Jiangnan are captured in the future, profits will definitely increase.Because, this is only the profit of Jingzhao Mansion, and he hasn't arranged any other places yet.

But don't hold out too much hope, after all, there were only a few big cities in the early Tang Dynasty, and soap is a high-end product, so the main customer base must be rich people.

Now the common people can't get enough to eat, so how can they care whether they are fragrant or stinky.

Another string of coins was strung together, Princess Chu finally filled the table with copper coins.

Yellow and orange, it is gratifying in an instant.

"Ah Lang is really amazing. With some ingenious thinking, the income of the mansion has become so rich." Princess Chu looked at her lover with admiration, as if there were stars twinkling in her big eyes.

For some reason, Li Zhiyun suddenly felt back pain.He hastily took out a gold hairpin from his bosom and gave it to his wife, "Today when I passed by the Western Market, I happened to see this hairpin and thought it suits you, so I bought it back. It will look good on you."

"Thank you, Alang, I'm so happy."

She picked up the gold hairpin and put it on, and asked her lover if it looked good.

Li Zhiyun hurriedly said that it looks good.

Since Yin's eldest son was born last month, Li Zhiyun is now spending most of the night in Princess Chu's room every day.

As for why, everyone knows.

study.

After everyone drank the tea, Du Ruhui asked casually, "Your Highness called me here, but do you have something important to discuss?"

Opposite Li Zhiyun, sat four confidantes.Du Ruhui, Xue Shou, Duan Zhixuan, Xie Shufang.

"En." Li Zhiyun nodded and asked, "Do you know the soap that has become popular in Chang'an recently?"

"I know." Xie Shufang said, "Yesterday I asked someone to buy two yuan for my wife."

Xue Shou said: "I bought this thing before. It's amazing. It costs three hundred cash for a small piece, but it's really not bad. If your hands are stained with oil, you just need to wash it with Tang Xiang, and it will be washed off. There's also a lingering scent."

"Then do you know the profit of this soap?" Li Zhiyun asked.

Du Ruhui frowned slightly, and reminded: "His Royal Highness, although this item is quite profitable, it should not be taken for granted. It is rumored that the people behind the sale of this item are several clans. Your Highness must not offend them."

Li Zhiyun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Keming, you have misunderstood me."

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"This soap belongs to my king."

"Ah?" The four were surprised.

After half an hour.

"This king gave [-]% of the goods to King Changping, [-]% to King Huaiyang, and [-]% to Duke Lueyang County. In this way, there is still [-]% of the goods left, and this king plans to let the four of you share equally. The two cities in the east and west, you can each Rent a shop and find someone to buy and sell it on your behalf, so that you can make more money."

The four of them looked at each other in blank dismay, and immediately got up and bowed.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"

They knew how well this soap was selling in Chang'an.This is the king giving them money, can you not be excited!

Li Zhiyun thought very simple, he ate meat, and of course the younger brothers had to drink soup.
