Today, a signboard was suddenly placed at the door of a makeup shop in East City, Chang’an, saying: There is a cleansing and moisturizing soap specially made for the palace for sale.

Soap?The soap that is easier to use and cheaper than bath beans has been circulating in the market recently?

People passing by were a little curious, and some female customers came in directly to inquire: "Shopkeeper, let me have a look at what kind of soap this is."

A neatly dressed maid greeted her, holding a wooden box with the lid lifted in her hand.

"My lady, this is soap. Smell it. It contains flower petals and milk. After bathing with it, your skin will be smooth and tender, and your body will smell like flowers!"

"Oh, is it really that good?" The lady reached out her hand curiously to take the soap, only to feel that the place where she got it was slippery, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly, it did have a strong floral fragrance, much more comfortable than the medicinal fragrance of bath beans .

"How do you sell this soap?"

"It's not a problem if you use such a big piece of soap to bathe every day for three or four months, and it only sells for 280 yuan!"

"280 Bawen?" The lady silently calculated in her heart that a box of bath beans would not last that long, and because of the high cost, the price of bath beans is also very expensive, not something ordinary people can afford.

I just don't know if this soap is really as good as the rumors in the market. It is said that Princess Changle made it in her spare time.

While hesitating, the maid added more fire: "This is the soap that both Princess Changle and His Highness the Queen like to use, and it is very convenient for daily use to clean hands."

"Okay, buy it, wrap this up for me." The lady finally made up her mind.

"This piece is for exhibition, not for sale. I'll get a new one from the warehouse for my wife. It's clean without hands!"

From ancient times to the present, the effect of bringing goods to the palace is definitely the best, but what is popular in the palace is only more popular outside.

Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, where the imperial power is supreme, it is modern, and it is almost worn by the mascots of the John Bull royal family. Once it is photographed publicly, it will definitely be out of stock in the market immediately.Its influence covers the whole world, and it is much more powerful than traffic.

So back then Lin Wanwan bought a few Lux rose soaps from Hyundai for Princess Changle, and asked her to give gifts everywhere in the harem, just to build momentum.There is no need to go to the market to do pre-advertising, the palace is the best place to advertise.

"By the way, lady, in addition to the soap for bathing and cleaning hands, we also have soap for washing clothes and cleaning clothes. It is much more useful than soap horns. Would you like to get a piece by the way? It's only twenty yuan, and it can be washed at least. Clothes for half a year!"

A square piece of yellow soap was brought up by the maid. It also smelled a little fragrant, but it was relatively pungent, and it couldn't be compared with soap at all.

"Is this thing useful?"

"It's easy to use! You can buy it and try it out, it's only twenty cents anyway."

"Okay, then give me a piece too."

"Okay, wait a minute!"

This is the scene in the makeup shop in Dongshi, and there are a few small shops in the west market that are sandwiched between cloth shops, clothing shops, and clothing shops, specializing in high-quality and cheap soaps.

There are rumors in the market that this soap was invented by Princess Changle when she saw a maid was punished for not cleaning the stains on her beloved Yuehua dress.

No matter how dirty the clothes are, wash them with soap.

Most importantly, the price of this soap is very affordable!Twenty Wen, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, is the amount of money that can be spent.

For the common people who could not afford to use bath beans and acacia and could only use some plant ash to wash their clothes, the appearance of this soap was simply a blessing.

Everyone who has tried it says it is good, it can not only wash clothes, but also wash hands!

Those official slaves (that is, artisans) who had been busy in various workshops for a day, returned home and received the soap happily handed over by their wives, and they washed their dirty hands easily!
Although the twenty coins price of this soap is still expensive for a family like theirs, it is not unaffordable.

Lin Wanwan and Princess Changle co-founded "Zao Le Fang", which mainly deals in two treasures, one is soap and the other is scented soap, which became a great success as soon as they were launched on the market.What surprised Princess Changle was that although the price of soap is low, the gross profit generated is greater than that of soap.

Only because bath beans, a substitute for soap, still have a place in the high-end ladies' market.

After all, it is made of precious spices such as cloves, agarwood, musk, supplemented by more than ten kinds of petals, smashed and ground together, and then added with pearl powder and soybean powder. Although it is expensive, it is also really effective and can make the The skin is as smooth as jade, and the body is moisturized and fragrant.

And Lin Wanwan's soap made from soybeans, lard, Glauber's salt, soda stone, flower petals, milk, etc., how can it compare with bath beans in terms of skin care?
Apart from being expensive, bath beans have no major disadvantages.

Are precious girls short of money?Not bad!Bath beans, which ordinary people cannot afford, are nothing more than common things to them, and they are necessary consumables, so the market for soap can be imagined.

After trying the soap a few times, the noble ladies still prefer high-end bath beans, but the maids around the noble lady are very interested in the soap.

But soap is different. Although the price is low, it has a wide market, and everyone from commoners to nobles needs it.Taking the road of small profits but high sales (in fact, compared with the profits of later generations, the profits are not too small), it quickly opened up word of mouth in Chang'an City.

The first batch of scented soaps and soaps in the Soap Music Shop were left to dry for half a month, and they were sold only after they were fully stocked.Afterwards, they sell and manufacture at the same time, and they continue to be connected.

Some of the current workers in the workshop are slaves sent by Li Lizhi, Princess of Changle, and some of Lin Wanwan's own slaves. In addition, Lin Wanwan is also recruited from the farmer's family in Mozhu Village (named by her) attached to her field. a batch.

The workmanship and management in the soap music workshop, Lin Wanwan spent money to hire people to do special planning and analysis from modern times, and then combined with the actual situation.

The most fundamental difference from the ordinary workshops of Datang is - assembly line workmanship.

The assembly line is a way of working with a clear division of labor. Each person can focus on a certain part of their work, and can quickly complete the task. With the improvement of proficiency, the production volume can be increased, labor costs can be saved, and at the same time To the role of confidential formula.

Of course, in the Tang Dynasty, for Lin Wanwan and Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, labor costs were basically nothing.

The wages of domestic slaves, Ding slaves, and villager family members are all too cheap, so cheap that Lin Wanwan feels like a capitalist——Li Lizhi even thought that she didn’t need to be paid at all, and they were all her slaves, so why should she pay them? ?

But in the end she listened to Lin Wanwan's advice and paid the workers wages.Because of this, the people who work in Zao Lefang will salute Lin Wanwan very respectfully when they see Lin Wanwan, expressing their gratitude and respect from the bottom of their hearts.
