The Empress’s Gigolo

"Master Copper, has the rubber arrived?" Ren Baqian just heard that more than a dozen ox carts full of wooden barrels arrived at the Ministry of Industry, and hurried to see Tong Zhenye and the yard full of wooden barrels of cattle. car.

"Adult Ren is here." Tong Zhenye laughed. "Do you see if you want it? There are good things to show you later."

Ren Baqian rubbed the palm of his hand and opened a wooden bucket lid, which was filled with milky white glue, which was different from the rubber that was dried last time. The rubber juice collected this time was directly sealed in a wooden bucket, and then a long distance Trek sent to Lancheng.

"That's it!" Ren Baqian laughed after smelling the smell, and waited for so long before finally arriving.

With these rubbers, many things have begun.

"These rubbers will be sent to the Zizhu Academy and the others will be sent to the Beast Garden." Ren Baqian made arrangements before asking Tong Zhenye: "Soap is ready?"

"According to what you said, make a batch, and you just come over and go and see with the husband." Tong Zhenye said with a smile on his face.

The pancreas is said to be cheap in Izumo, not to mention Dayao. Only a few people can afford it.

I didn't expect that this kind of thing would be so simple to make. As long as you know how to make it, just find a few people and you can create a pancreas that you can use.

And according to Ren Baqian, mashed petals were added inside, so that these soaps can produce several colors, and also have the fragrance of petals, which looks much better than the pancreas sold by the Izu people .

This made Tong Zhenye quite contented.

Although this pancreas was made according to Ren Baqian's words, it is also the achievement of the Ministry of Industry.

You should know that Da Yao has too few things, and every time he adds something that does not exist, he will be excited.

Ren Baqian came out of the city to the newly built courtyard with the copper earthquake field out. The courtyard walls and the houses in the courtyard were made of red brick.

Someone saw the two come here with a guard, and immediately greeted them inside.

In a large warehouse, Ren Baqian saw the newly prepared pancreas. According to Ren Baqian's words, it was soap.

This kind of pancreas is made by grinding the pancreas of jumping sheep, adding plant ash, animal fat, and mixing to form a thick mixture. .

When Ren Baqian came to the warehouse, he saw a large piece of pancreas set aside, and there was a sink under the shelf to guide the dripping liquid into the bucket.

This liquid is a by-product of making soap, glycerin, which is more valued than soap itself.

Glycerin can be made into nitroglycerin, as well as diatom manganese and colloidal explosives, and even smokeless powder.

Of course, Ren Baqian was not prepared to put such explosives, which are extremely susceptible to explosives, to war. There are no secrets in the world that can be kept forever. The birth of explosives and gunpowder is a great threat to the ancient people with a small population but a strong individual.

If explosives and gunpowder develop, the advantages of the ancient people will be greatly reduced, and the disadvantages of the sparse population will be extremely obvious.

So Ren Baqian was going to keep this thing firmly in his own hands.

If it is not that explosives and gunpowder are a barrier that cannot be overcome by technological development, Ren Baqian does not want to make them.

Ren Baqian made a circle in the warehouse, picking up a few pieces of cut soap next to it, a total of three aromas, one of which was loved by the emperor, and the production was a bit rough, but it was good for the beginning.

Ren Baqian first made a basin of water, washed his hands with soap to see the effect, and turned back to ask. "Master Copper, how is this soap going to be sold?"

"I don't know ..." Tong Zhenye shook his head: "Before Jingyan, there was no precedent for the court to sell anything. So this thing was made, but how to sell it, you still have to take your idea."

Ren Baqian nodded slightly, and threw those pieces of soap to the guard behind him.

"Master Copper, these glycerin, I will let someone deal with it later." Ren Baqian. The production of soap will inevitably produce a large amount of glycerin. Except for a few of these glycerols, which are used as solvents, the rest must be treated at a place.

This kind of thing, he is not ready to give into the hands of others.

"This thing is still useful?" Tong Zhenye wanted to ask about this for a long time.

"It works, but it doesn't have to be better." Ren Baqian waved.

Then the two went to the other warehouses to look again. These were dried and ground pancreas, ground flowers, and used to heat fat to make soap, and there was a large open space dedicated to burning. Plant ash.

Although it seems that the place is not small, there are not many people, only a few dozen people.

"Soap can be printed with some patterns. Find a carpenter to make a few molds. When the pattern is pressed, it looks more delicate. And the factory can also be expanded. The number of people is too small and the number of production is too small. not enough.

This thing is a consumable, and even if the plant is enlarged tenfold, it can be sold.

If it doesn't work, you can find a way to sell it to Daxia. "

"Is there a commercial way for Ren Ren to sell in Daxia?" Tong Zhenye asked.

"Contacting." Ren Baqian has already contacted Su Qing through Qing Lian. Later, he can also open up a road and send a caravan of Jing people to Daxia.

But within a year or two of Da Xia, civil strife will inevitably occur. At that time, it was hard to say how the situation was.

In times of trouble, non-essential items such as soap, glass, and silver mirrors have limited sales.

However, when Yun State is laid down, there is a good place for dumping goods.

After Ren Baqian transferred to the soap factory, returned to the palace and handed those pieces of soap to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is made by the Ministry of Industry."

"Soap?" The Empress picked up a piece of soap and looked at it, right-angled, with traces of cutting left on it.

"Yes, Chen has tried, as expected, better than Izumo's pancreas."

"That's good!" The Empress smiled. The days when all goods were brought by foreign caravans started to go away.

Later Ren Qianqian talked to the Empress about the manufacture and sale of soap.

"What do you think?" For such a question, the empress's first thought was to ask Ren Baqian.

"Establish a commerce department, which is responsible for managing the factory and establishing sales channels, and then submit it to the court according to a certain percentage at the end of the year, and another part is used to expand the factory." Ren Baqian casually said.

"Then I can't think of anyone else except you," said the emperor.

"Chen may not have this time, but Chen did have an idea. His Majesty first selected a secretary, and then made the two caravan managers Tang Feng and Gu Ziheng as deputies.

Both Tang Feng and Gu Ziheng are the old men of the caravan. They have a certain understanding of this aspect, and as deputies, they are adequate.

Now there is only one soap factory, so use this to practice their hands. After they are familiar with it, others can start.

In the past, some ministries needed to use things ~ www.readwn.com ~ to transfer internally.

In the future, as long as it has the characteristics of a commodity, it can be completely classified under the Commerce Department, and the Ministry of Accounts allocates funds to the departments, and each department purchases from the Department of Commerce. After the Department of Commerce removes the cost, the money is returned to the Department of Proportion.

In this way, everything is on track. "Ren Qianqian.

"Is this the Earth's business model? But by doing so, the power of the Commerce Department will be too great." The emperor thought with her chin in mind.

Although there is nothing in the hands of the Commerce Department now, the Empress knows that if according to Ren Baqian, the development of the Commerce Department will inevitably become one of the most powerful departments in Dayao.

At that time, it was a separate one from the Sixth Daya Department, the Ministry of Commerce.

"So the candidate for the Secretary of Commerce must be selected carefully by Her Majesty. His ability, loyalty, and integrity are indispensable." Ren Baqiandao.

"Secretary, you should take charge first, support the stalls, and let everyone take over after everything is on track." The Empress looked at Ren Badao.
