Northern Song Dynasty: It’s a showdown, who said I, Zhao Zhen, don’t have a son?

Chapter 90 Everyone is busy!
After Bao Zheng left, Zhao He thought for a moment, thinking about Bao Zheng's intentions.

As Zhao He said, many of the improvements in the booklet were based on the ancient methods of dealing with this plague, and were supplemented by incomplete things.

Ever since Bao Zheng took charge of Kaifeng Mansion and tried Zhao He's case, this person seemed to pay special attention to him. This was the second time he came to visit his home.

Under normal circumstances, as the governor of Kaifeng, Bao Zheng would not have so much time to take care of a foot shop owner like him, even if he did a few outstanding things, it would not be like this.

He always felt that Bao Zheng had some plan for him.

And if I remember correctly, Bao Zheng didn't come to power so quickly. He came to power only after Xia Song stepped down. Was it because Dou Rushang, Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture, was demoted and he was activated in advance?
Although I don't know why, after Bao Zheng was promoted to the governor of Kaifeng, he did well as an official. Now everyone in Bianjing is doing well.

And in the future, this person will also make great contributions to the Song Dynasty, and eventually his name will be remembered in history and he will become the Bao Qingtian who exists in the drama in later generations.

Zhao He didn't think too much. None of the people who could leave their names in history simply felt that, such as Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, Fubi, etc., except for Fan Zhongyan who was unable to survive after being in office, all these people were without exception. All the people were recalled to the DPRK and entrusted with important responsibilities.

Thinking of this, Zhao He sighed and felt sorry for the old man. He said that he had left behind words of concern for the country and the people, but he was miserable in his later years.

After feeling sympathy for the old man, Zhao He stood up. Outside the door, old man Fan heard the noise and rushed over.

"I heard that Bao Zheng came just now. What do you want to do with him?"

Zhao He waved his hand: "I'm not sure, but he doesn't seem to be looking for trouble. I don't know why he came here specifically."

Fan Zhongyan looked solemn and thought for a moment.

"Bao Zheng was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng. In that subject, there were Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Wu Yu and others. Not to mention that Bao Zheng's position is not as high as these people. It is really because his parents were Jinshi at that time. After his death, he returned home to fulfill his filial piety, and then served as a local official for a period of time."

"This person's character and methods are no longer as immature as they used to be, and his abilities must not be low anymore, but the path he takes is too dangerous, and there are too many people he wants to offend. No matter what this person says to you, I just want to In other words, it’s best to stay away from him to avoid being implicated in the future.”

Fan Zhongyan was deeply touched by the New Deal. Although he was the one who started it, Ouyang Xiu, Fubi and others joined forces, but many people in the court also responded. However, the New Deal failed, and it was not only central figures like them who were demoted, but also some people who had nothing to do with the New Deal. Yes, but those who had friendship with them were also demoted together.

Of course, they were just some small figures in the court. Those people were thrown out of the court because they were an eyesore.

After being demoted from the capital, his status naturally plummeted. Capital officials and local officials were not the same concept at all.

Zhao He looked at Fan Zhongyan saying this so seriously and nodded: "Old man Fan, why are you so worried about me? Where did you hear these things? Why can't I hear it?"

Fan Zhongyan chuckled and said: "You, who spend all your time in brothels, how can you have the opportunity to listen to these things? There are always some benefits to knowing."

Zhao He was immediately unconvinced and said: "Old man Fan, what you said is that I am doing this just to make money. Okay, okay, I understand. I'm going to do my work. You can do whatever you want."

When Fan Zhongyan saw Zhao He's attitude, he didn't say much.

Zhao He's temper is too weird. There are some things that Fan Zhongyan can't just listen to. He only needs to tell him these things subtly and show him how to analyze the purpose and character of these people. Zhao He can almost do it all over again. Remember, you can use it next time you do something.

This kind of learning ability is extremely amazing in Fan Zhongyan's opinion. Since the Fan Lou incident, he has gained a lot of memory and has more things to consider when doing things.Fan Zhongyan couldn't teach him how to read. This kid didn't want to learn, so it would be better to slowly teach him the ways of being an official. This would also come in handy in the future.

In the afternoon, Uncle Guo knocked on the door of Zhao He's small laboratory and said that the soap had solidified. Zhao He immediately got up and went to check.

Pork undergoes a saponification reaction and turns white after solidification. However, because the essence extracted from the flowers is reddish, the current soap is slightly pink. It is half the size of a palm and looks small and cute.

Guo Huai and Zhou Fei looked at it, and they couldn't help being surprised.

"A soap that looks like this is more beautiful than the hundred-scented soap on the market, and the fragrance is also rich. I think it will be a big seller in Bianjing!"

Zhou Fei said excitedly: "Well, young man, is this thing going to be mass-produced? These fifty yuan will definitely not be enough to sell it!"

Zhao He chuckled. If it had been before, he would have just used Fan Lou's store to open a store.

But this thing is not well-known in Bianjing now, and it is always necessary to increase its popularity before talking about the future.

If you want this thing to take Bianjing by storm, you must build up your reputation and lay the groundwork.

Moreover, this product is currently targeted at upper-class consumers. People may not be willing to buy something they have never heard of...

What is the most valuable?The rarer something is, the more valuable it is!

We must first earn money for this in-demand product, and then fully sell it. In this way, the profits can be maximized.

Guo Huai immediately asked: "Didn't Mr. Xiao Lang gather those traders together and say they wanted to build a workshop together? Shouldn't we start planning now?"

Zhao He nodded: "But setting up a workshop too blatantly may attract some people's attention and expose the matter before it starts. If it is exposed too early, it will affect subsequent actions."

"That's it, Uncle Guo. You first ask the vendors to come up with a list of people who are willing to participate, and then classify them according to male and female age, and then I'll see how to arrange it."

"Brother Zhou, once this is started, I'm afraid it will require a lot of raw materials. Although lard and limestone are not valuable, they will definitely require a lot of raw materials."

"If you are familiar with Bianjing, try to find as many sources of these goods as possible. Once you are done with them, you can start doing it."

Both of them nodded: "Don't worry, young man, these things will not go wrong."

Zhao He smiled, picked up a piece of soap and looked at it.

Such a small item was not appreciated by anyone in later generations when facial cleansers and facial cleansers were popping up in endlessly, but here, it is a real money-spinner!
Compared with today's foot shop business, the profits are unimaginably high. It's almost as if I make as much money as I sell you.

However, if this thing is to be used to its maximum value, it needs to be well prepared.

And now he is going to find someone to help promote it!
