Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 475 The harvest is not bad this year

Although soap cannot be eaten, it is very popular with dignitaries, especially noble ladies.Wutaer, the first is the word "clean", and the second is the word "fragrance".

This thing can be used for bathing, washing hair, and washing hands. It can be said to be a necessary thing for life.Although the selling price is relatively high, in the eyes of the aristocrats, the price of a piece of soap is not enough to visit Pingkangfang once.

Even Pei Ju himself is using it.

In other words, this is a big business with huge profits!
Pei Ju said: "It seems that this time, His Highness should not only give Su Niang a card, but the Crown Princess, Wei Fangfei and others may also have received one."

Pei Fenggao said thoughtfully: "It should be like this."

Pei Ju said: "As far as I know, many civil and military personnel in the Shence Mansion have a brand rewarded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. A while ago, there was soap for sale in Shuozhou. Now, we have a piece of soap from the states south of Hedong Road Selling, it should be only our family. Good, very good!"

Although they can't sell it in Guanzhong, it is enough for them to make a lot of money just at the hometown of Hedong Road.

What made Pei Ju even more embarrassing was that once the soap benefits were handed over to the prince's ministers, those people would be even more inseparable from the prince and would only support him more.

Power, money, people's hearts.

This time, the prince will kill three birds with one stone!
Like himself, although he could see the prince's plan, he still plunged into it.No way, the soap is too fragrant.

He ordered: "Feng Gao, remember, when selling, you must strictly follow the standards made by the imperial court, and you must not exceed them."

"Yes."

Pei Ju went on to say: "Once this thing is spread across the world, His Royal Highness's private treasury will probably become even richer."

He is not stupid, only His Highness the Crown Prince can produce soap, and there is only one source of supply, they are just making money for His Highness the Crown Prince.

Pei Fenggao asked: "My lord, why didn't His Royal Highness put the soap into the court?"

"Stupid!" Pei Ju scolded, and then explained: "What do you know? If this thing goes through the imperial court channel, it will be the Ministry of Civil Affairs that will make money at that time. If His Royal Highness wants to use the money, he must obtain the consent of the courtiers. But if it goes through private channels , then you can spend whatever you want. In my opinion, our Crown Prince is very ambitious. This time the Turks went south to Suizhou, and His Royal Highness, under pressure, sent Qin Qiong to exterminate the Turks.

He is different from a saint, he is young and vigorous, and he has the capital to be arrogant.If my guess is correct, the proceeds from this soap will definitely be used by the prince as military resources in the future to deal with the Turks. "

Pei Fenggao was confused and didn't understand.

He asked strangely: "But isn't this a fight for the interests of the people? Doesn't the censor impeach him?"

"Impeachment?" Pei Ju sneered, "You idiot, what's the use of impeaching the censor, as long as there are ministers with soap brands, they will block those annoying censors for His Highness without the order of His Royal Highness."

Seeing this, Pei Ju didn't bother to talk to him, so he ordered: "Follow the old rules, let the people below do it, and you don't want to do it."

"The child obeys."

Li Zhiyun never treats one more favorably than another, the brand name given to the princess Tang Xiang will naturally be given to the other wives and concubines.

It's not that Li Zhiyun is worried that because he only gives the crown princess the card and not others, it will cause restlessness in the back house and psychological imbalance among the wives and concubines.His purpose is to expand the supply of goods and make money to support the army.The second is to tie the interest groups to his hands.

In the future, whoever is disobedient will cut off the supply from that company and distribute it to other people at that time.Hey, without Li Zhiyun's signal, other people will tear each other apart for their own interests.

What is this called?
This is called uniting the majority and attacking the few!

No one can resist the temptation of money.

Except Pei Ju, Yang Gongren, and Chen Shuda from Zhengshitang, who were allowed to sell in their respective hometowns, others, such as Pei Ji and Tang Jian, did not get a license because they were not eligible for it now.As for Li Shuliang, he was among the first to eat crabs.

In addition, the civil and martial arts of Shence Mansion basically got the cards rewarded by Li Zhiyun.

The increase of agents means that the output must be increased.

Yuwen Rutong gave this question to Li Zhiyun a few days later.

".Now, more and more people are getting goods, and a thousand yuan a day is not enough. According to my calculations, if you want to supply everyone, you need more than ten thousand yuan a day to be barely enough."

"Well, let's separate out the soap area and set up a soap workshop to supply merchants." Li Zhiyun said: "Also, you have to follow the individual supply standards for each state's supply."

The land of Fuzhou will naturally give more shares.Poor states, naturally less.

"Yes."

After Yuwen Rutong retired, Li Zhiyun took a look at the drafted 'Patent Law' and 'Soap Tax Law', and then took them to the Zhengshitang.

The tiger was released by him, so he naturally had to put a chain on the tiger.

The patent law is to cut off other people's imitation soap, and the soap tax law is the 'chain'.

Simply put, the soap tax law is for the imperial court to drink.In other words, it is also to limit the huge benefits of soap from falling into the hands of noble families.

Although most of the benefits are in his own hands now, he will never underestimate the cleverness of the people below.

The so-called policies above have countermeasures.

He can bring his friends to make money, but he must earn the most, and his friends can only drink some soup.

Think Li Zhiyun is too much?

Is it too much?
Do you think it's too much for the future emperor to take you to make money?
It’s okay if you don’t want to play, some people want to play soap with Li Zhiyun.

Petty profit, that is also meat!
Besides, soap is not a petty profit.

The 'Patent Law' and the 'Soap Tax Law' were quickly passed, and they were written into the Wu De Law.

Naturally, several censors couldn't help impeaching Li Zhiyun for not doing his job properly, making soap privately, and competing for profits with the people, which is not what a king does.

But, no use!

At the time of the Great Dynasty, those censors sprayed it, and before Li Zhiyun could speak, the ministers who got the soap brand helped Li Zhiyun spray it back.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs took the lead.

There is no way, there was no soap tax law in the past, this time His Highness the Crown Prince came up with this law, which is obviously to increase the income of the court, and only a fool would refuse it.

Of course, most people are happy and some are not.

The censor sprays for the sake of spraying.

But Pei Ji is lonely, he majored in Wu De Law, and now the crown prince can add one law if he wants to.

What kind of Wu De Law is Wu De Law?

But he didn't dare to beep.

Until October, Guanzhong has a bumper harvest.Yuwen Rutong told Li Zhiyun that soil chemical fertilizers have indeed increased the grain output per mu a lot, the most being two stones!
This good news spread in the ruling and opposition parties, and all the ministers preached the great success of civil affairs!

Afterwards, Li Zhiyun also immediately ordered to tell the people all over the world the method of making soil fertilizer, and let officials from all over the country promote it.

As a result, the public locker room in Chang'an became popular for a while, and many people spontaneously signed up to clean the locker room.

After Li Zhiyun intervened in this matter, he handed it over to Sinong Temple.

The people in Guanzhong, who got the news at the first time, bowed in the direction of Chang'an City and called the Holy Prince.

In the past two years, the crown prince has been promoting Quyuanli and soil fertilizers, and they are all donating to the people without profit. How can the people not be grateful.

Afterwards, grains from all over the country will be stored in warehouses, plus tax income, more than two million shi!
The reason why there are not many is mainly due to Li Zhiyun's order to reduce and exempt taxes for the past two years and rest with the people.

Therefore, the main grain harvests come from Guanzhong and Bashu granaries.

In other places, such as the Central Plains, Jianghuai, Jingzhou, Hebei and other places, basically the imperial court took very little, and most of them were deposited in the local warehouse.
