Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

Chapter 31 Does it hurt?
Because of this, under the dissemination of the Hong Gang, the day after Wang Yu came up with the slogan, more than 70% of the wealthy and powerful families in Luoyang.

It can be said that every family with power and connections in the imperial court would go to the Wang family shop to purchase fine white sugar.

Against this backdrop, a sugar craze suddenly swept Luoyang. If one did not have that kind of pure white sugar at home, one would not be able to hold one's head up in front of others and would feel a little inferior in momentum.

After all, we are both from aristocratic families. My family has precious things, but your family has none. If this gets out, our reputation in front of others will be affected.

Moreover, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion had swept across the country at this time, Luoyang City, as the capital of the Han Dynasty and the political, economic and cultural center of the country, was naturally the least affected.

In fact, because the Yellow Turban Army was growing stronger and stronger, many aristocratic families abandoned their original lands and took the gold and silver treasures they could take away from their families to Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, to avoid the limelight.

Therefore, this led to an increasing number of aristocratic families and wealthy households gathering in the capital city of Luoyang, which also brought enough money to Wang Yu.

...............

"Tianyi, you don't know that because of your slogan, the sales of white sugar doubled!"

"From the time of sale to now, in just seven days, our Wang's shop has sold more than 8,600 kilograms of sugar, earning a total of more than 200,000 strings of cash."

When Wang Hai said this, Wang Yu could clearly feel that his whole body was shaking violently. However, this was normal. After all, it only took a few days to sell it for such a high price. Anyone would be excited.

More than 200,000 strings of cash, if converted into horseshoe gold, would be at least more than 20,000 gold.

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, according to the calculation method of the Han Dynasty, one gold coin was equal to 20,000 coins, and one string of coins was equal to 1,000 coins, that is, one horseshoe gold coin was equal to 20 strings of coins.

However, as the Yellow Turban Rebellion spread across the country, the value of horseshoe gold was greatly affected, from the original value of 20,000 coins per gold to the current value of 10,000 coins per catty.

But even so, it is a rare treasure.

However, Wang Yu also knew that this was taking advantage of refined white sugar. As Wang Yu's advertising slogan spread, the first-class aristocratic families in Luoyang were forced to participate.

Because what the aristocratic families care about is the family reputation, so, even if it is just to maintain the dignity of the family, they must keep a few kilograms of refined white sugar at home.

"It's a pity that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is happening right now, and there's no way to open up trade routes and transport goods from Luoyang to Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou and other places to expand the consumption range." Wang Yu said with some regret.

"That's okay. Don't forget, Bingzhou is still relatively peaceful now. We can sell all this sugar into Bingzhou. Although the land north of Bingzhou has been occupied by foreign races, the land south of Bingzhou is still very prosperous." Wang Hai said.

Wang Yu nodded. It was true that the sugar should be transported to southern Bingzhou. He immediately took advantage of this rare opportunity to establish good relations with some of the aristocratic families in southern Bingzhou!
In the original world, ever since the heroes fought against Dong Zhuo, Qin Ritian had been preparing to open up Bingzhou and merge it with Qin Wen in Bingbei. This then led to the four great princes of Bingnan joining forces, and Wang Mang in the original book led Temujin to move south.

However, perhaps due to the author’s limited historical knowledge, or perhaps because of different emphasis, there is no mention of the aristocratic families in southern Bingzhou.

You know, this is the most prosperous area in Bingzhou, and there are many aristocratic families living here. The Taiyuan Wang family, where Wang Yu belongs, is one of them.

The real Bingzhou is not as simple as Qin Hao said.

Take Taiyuan County for example, there are several major families in charge.

For example, Wang family, Linghu family, Wen family, Guo family, Wu family, Di family...

It can be said that more than 70% of the aristocratic families in Bingzhou are concentrated in the most developed county in Bingzhou, Taiyuan County, which has a population of 520,000. In the original novel, Qin Hao actually thought that Yanmen County was the most populous county in Bingzhou just because it had a population of 400,000. This is simply ridiculous.

Therefore, while Qin Ritian was still fighting against the Huns, Wang Yu planned to let Wang Hai return to Bingzhou to win over the aristocratic families in Taiyuan County.

I believe that between the local Wang family and the foreign Qin family, they will make a good choice.

And the person responsible for this matter must be Wang Hai.

...............

With Wang Hai's departure, the Wang family shop lacked a person in charge. Wang Yu could only pick the best from the poor and promote Zhou Min to be in charge of the shop temporarily.

…………

On this day, inside Cai’s mansion.

"Hubby, you are really a genius. You can make the white sugar so big, and even use soap to match it." Cai Lin recalled Wang Yu's achievements in the past few days and sighed sincerely.

Family members, who knows?

Now the young ladies from wealthy families in Luoyang City are rushing to buy the soaps in the Wang family shop. Although they are not as terrible as white sugar, they should not be underestimated.

After all, soap is much more useful than soapberry. It can not only be used to wash clothes, but also to bathe, making yourself smell fragrant. There is no need to use too many spices like before.

Besides, soap is not expensive, only three strings of coins each, and can be used for several days.

Besides, beauty cannot be measured by money. Think about the so-called fairies in later generations who spent a lot of money to buy slimming tea and cosmetics.

For the Han women now, soap is more precious than these. After all, it is the first time they have heard of it. But after witnessing the effect of soap, this money is just a drop in the bucket for them.

"Woman, you need to know who the man in front of you is?" Wang Yu immediately acted like a domineering president, lifted Cai Lin's chin directly, and said coolly.

"Pfft."

Looking at what Wang Yu did, Cai Lin couldn't help but laugh!
"Don't laugh." Seeing his wife suddenly laugh, Wang Yu felt embarrassed for a moment. He picked up Cai Lin, then gently flipped her over and put her on his lap. Before Cai Lin could react, he slapped her beautiful breasts with his palm.

"Snapped."

A crisp sound rang out in the pavilion!

"You." Cai Lin blushed immediately.

“Did it hurt?” Wang Yu hurriedly consoled her, his eyes so tender that Cai Lin’s heart almost melted. However, his true colors were revealed soon after.
