Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 58

A long time ago, Shuning wanted Marquis Yongning to dedicate the method to the emperor.But I was also afraid that the emperor would misunderstand their Yongninghou's mansion for something wrong, because if they were to be replaced by other nobles, such a prescription would have been produced by themselves in their hands. This kind of thing that everyone needs, don't worry. The price is not high, but the accumulated silver over time will definitely exceed people's imagination.

Such a large amount of money, Yongning Hou said he would offer it up, is he out of his mind?Nothing wrong in your heart?
So in order not to arouse the emperor's suspicion, this party was still in Shuning's hands in the end, and he did not take it out.In fact, Marquis Yongning also thought about doing it himself, after all, this thing is too expensive.But one is that this thing is an exclusive formula, and the other is that this thing can't be kept without Taotian's power.

In order to avoid being targeted and lose his family, Yongninghou gave up under the persuasion of Shuning and his family.For the sake of money, it is not worthwhile to take Yongning Hou Mansion into it.Moreover, this method cannot be monopolized in general. Jealousy is a disease, and any dynasty has it.Some people don't say anything on the surface, but secretly mess with you, so that you can't even find a place to cry.

In fact, Shu Ning also has a formula for basic gunpowder, but this thing is more dangerous than the formula for soap, and she dare not even tell people in Yongning Hou Mansion.Thinking about it now, she hated herself for being curious at the time. Not only did she go to look up the formula, she even memorized it, because the impression was so deep that it was hard to forget.

Shu Ning also knew that there would be a time when she would come up with this prescription, but she hoped that after she established a deeper relationship with the emperor, or after her child became the emperor, she would feel at ease after taking this prescription out.

No matter which era, you are not afraid that you know too much, but you are afraid that you know too much.Shu Ning didn't want to be silenced because she knew too much, so she honestly pretended to be a quail.

As for the soap recipe, she also wants to use it herself anyway, so she took this opportunity to dedicate it to the emperor, and the reason is so lofty, I believe that even if something happens in the future, the emperor will protect her a bit more for the sake of this recipe .And as a concubine, offering prescriptions to the emperor in private will not make the world laugh at the emperor for taking money from ministers.

After listening to Shuning's words, the queen mother was so moved that she shook Shuning's hand and applauded.Regardless of whether Shu Ning offered the prescription sincerely or not, but her practice has already helped the emperor and Da Xia, so it is a good thing.

What is the court lacking the most?It is silver.If a country has no money or silver, it will not be able to assemble a strong army when it is invaded by foreigners, and it will not be able to provide money to relieve the people in natural disasters. In the end, it can only fall into terrible wars and chaos until a new country is established. new order.

After having lunch with the Empress Dowager and helping her to sleep with the nuns beside the Empress Dowager, Shu Ning went back to Changning Palace on the shoulders.Changing clothes for a lunch break, and in the afternoon, I continued to practice calligraphy and play the piano to pass the time.

In the evening, just when the concubines in the harem thought that the emperor would go to other concubines' palaces, there was a sudden news that the emperor was driving to Changning Palace.

And this night, I don't know how many people's house furnishings were broken.All the concubines hated Shu Ning, the emperor had just rested in Taiji Palace for one day, and then went to Changning Palace the next day, it seems that Concubine Jia is a favorite concubine.

It's just that everyone misunderstood the emperor and Shuning.But it is impossible to say this explanation from the mouths of the emperor and Shu Ning, let alone another queen mother who knows the truth, this can be regarded as protecting the concubine Jia!
"Why is the emperor here?"

Shu Ning was pulled up by the emperor and sat beside him.

She was sitting under the lamp and was embroidering a belt. As a woman who wanted to win the emperor's favor, she occasionally made some small things for the emperor to show that she put him in her heart. Of course, this is not necessarily the case. It means that she is about to fall in love with the emperor, and besides, there are many kinds of feelings. She has long ago decided to treat the emperor only as a family member, not as a man.

The emperor didn't have a pass from his master, so he walked in directly, and saw an embroidered picture of a beauty.

"My concubine gave me such a big surprise, can I not come?"

The emperor was not stupid. After getting the prescription, he was immediately calculated by someone. The result surprised him. He really did not expect that this small prescription could earn hundreds of thousands of silver in the treasury in a year. , although there are also reasons for exclusive business, but think about it, these hundreds of thousands are pure profits.The cost is not high, even if some rare flowers and medicinal materials are added, the cost is limited, and the selling price of this high-end soap is not cheap, and the profit is at least ten times higher.As for cheap civilian soap, not to mention the low cost, the accumulated amount of small profits but quick turnover should not be too large~
Of course, these 10 taels are not much compared with the national treasury, but this amount enters the national treasury every year, and the income is stable, and the court can continue to do it. The accumulated amount is very scary.

Moreover, Shuning's prescription also gave the emperor some ideas. In the past, the emperor could only guard the Huangzhuang or get money from taxes, because the emperor could not lose the image of competing with the people for profit.
