I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 413

Yang Xi has never used soap outside. Yang's house uses soap from his own shop. "Okay, I'll take a look."

Soaps existed before the two dynasties. After so many years of research, the production of ancient soaps has been very skilled, and some ancient soaps are no worse than modern ones.

The shopkeeper took out two soaps, "These two are soaps made of flowers, they taste good and look good."

Yang Xi picked it up and smelled it. The fragrance of the flowers was not strong, but very elegant. These two flavors were the ones she liked, "Help me wrap them up."

The shopkeeper smiled and packed the box himself. Zhou Yu paid a tael of silver, and a piece of soap cost five hundred cents. Zhou Yu said, "The price is high enough."

The shopkeeper frowned, "Hey, it's the season of blooming flowers, flowers are not expensive, but oil and some precious spices are the most expensive, this food is not enough to eat, the fields have been planted with food, and the cost of oil and spices has been rising. If it can’t come down, the owner can’t do anything about it.”

Yang Xi and his wife left the store, Yang Xi, "Fortunately, our store makes cheap soap beans, and even soap is cheap."

My own shop does not add precious spices and some precious vegetable oils, and my own shop takes the route of being close to the people.

Zhou Yu put his hands behind his back, "The soap business wants to make a big deal out of it."

On the one hand, the cost is one aspect, and on the other hand, there is really no secret at all. You will know the recipe with more research, and there are not many people who are willing to buy soap. Ordinary people would rather continue to use plant ash and saponin.

Yang Xi tutted, "So it's the royal merchants who can really make big money and money. When the royal family advertises, the powerful will follow suit, and the royal merchants can integrate resources and become bigger by relying on the royal family."

Zhou Yu leaned into his wife's ear and said, "Doing business in this era is much more difficult than in later generations."

The raw materials alone make people scratch their heads, not to mention the up and down management, and always be prepared to be robbed.

The husband and wife went to the Yang family shop again. The shop took the people-friendly route, and people came and went. The husband and wife finally went to the dim sum shop and bought some snacks before returning to the house.

On this day, Bai Lang rushed back to Fucheng, and the young man knelt down in the mourning hall in a state of embarrassment. Zhou Yu and his wife did not see each other. He heard the news that Bai Lang changed his mourning clothes and knelt motionless. Bai Lang would burn out his body.

In a twinkling of an eye, on the day when the general's wife was at the funeral, General Bai gave his wife enough dignity after her death, and when Bai Lang came back, he fell ill.

Bai Lang needed to be filial, and there was a funeral at home. General Bai was worried about his son. In the end, for his son, he had the cheek to invite Zhou Yu to the house.

On the other side of Lin County, Yun Fei and Ming Jiao have been out for a long time, and they have figured out everything that should be found out. If it wasn't for the death of General Bai's wife, it would be difficult for them to go back and disturb them. They should have left Lin County long ago.

Now that Madam's funeral is over, it's time for them to set off.

Yun Fei finally found the opportunity to meet Yang Xixuan in private. Yun Fei didn't mention marriage. After getting along for many days, he knew that marriage could not control Yang Xixuan.

Yun Fei showed his sincerity, "My grandfather owns a merchant ship, and the fabric of the general's weaving workshop is good. The foreigners like our fabrics very much. I wonder if the general is interested in cooperating?"

Yang Xixuan thought about the letter written by her sister, who said that the Yun family might have a merchant ship, and now it has been confirmed, "My cloth is not worried about selling."

The workshop did produce a batch of cloths that were sold to foreigners, but the Gao family had channels, and the conditions given by the Yun family could not impress him.

Yun Fei thought a lot from Yang Xixuan's reply. Such a decisive refusal shows that Yang Xixuan doesn't care about the Yun family's merchant ships. It seems that Yang Xixuan still has many secrets, "What does the general want?"

Yang Xixuan really laughed this time, "I want to make wood for boats to dry in the shade."

He wanted to build a big boat, but unfortunately there was a shortage of wood. He tried his best to get it but he couldn't get much. The developed water veins in Texas mean that there are many boats, and more or less some wood will be stored.

Yun Fei clasped his fingertips into the palm of his hand, his sharp eyes quickly hid, "The general also wants to build a merchant ship?"

Yang Xixuan touched the handle of the chair, "You don't need to worry about Young Master Yun."

Yun Fei looked at Yang Xixuan, this man was more ambitious than he thought, and suppressed his thoughts, "Sorry, the Yun family has no wood."

Yang Xixuan didn't believe it, spread out his hands and said, "Since we can't talk anymore, then please, sir."

To put it bluntly, the Yun family really didn't give him much, and it was a pity that the Yun family was unwilling to give what he wanted.

Yun Fei lucked out and stood up, "Yun went back to rest."

As soon as Yun Fei walked out of the study, he saw Ming Jiao standing at the gate of the courtyard.

Ming Jiao smiled when he saw Yun Fei's face, "I followed your calculations, and it seems that you didn't get what you wanted."

Yun Fei's face was as usual, "Don't be too happy, this one wants too much."

Ming Jiao smiled, "That's because the Yun family is stingy."

Yun Fei sneered, and was too lazy to rationalize Mingjiao to turn around and leave, but he couldn't let the Yun family be caught in the middle, Yun Fei's mind turned around and his footsteps were a lot lighter.

Ming Jiao entered the study, pulled out his chair and sat down, "What does Young Master Yang want?"

Yang Xixuan pointed at the table with his fingertips, "It should be me asking, what does the Ming family want?"

Ming Jiao curled his lips, "The Ming family wants Texas."

Yang Xixuan rolled his eyes in his heart. Coincidentally, he also wanted Dezhou, "The Ming family has a good mouth, and Yang is ashamed."

Ming Jiao laughed, "General Yang is not honest, we are all sincere. When General Yang becomes the master of Ruizhou, how will the Ming family cooperate with the Yang family?"

Yang Xixuan smiled, "Empty cooperation?"

This guy is really black-hearted, he wants his promise without paying anything, bah, what a white wolf with empty gloves!

Ming Jiao was still smiling, "After this is done, will Texas be divided into half?"

The smile on Yang Xixuan's face disappeared, "It's boring, I'm no worse than Young Master Ming in terms of my ability to draw big cakes."

Who are you fooling?Oh, when the fight starts, even if it doesn't, what good place can be given to him?

Yang Xixuan played with the jade pendant in his hand, "I am a general who has just started, but I can't compare to the accumulation of the Ming family's generations. The Ming family has been able to improve the chariot. I still have an old-fashioned chariot in my hand, and my general Bai is sincere. When the firearms were confiscated, General Bai didn't hide it at all and handed it over. General Bai can't compare to General Ming, and we have no cards in Ruizhou."

Ming Jiao squinted his eyes, the Ming family did hand in it honestly, but wasn't there a loss, the loss was not destroyed, and it was kept secret.

Yang Xixuan smiled, "Don't make a big cake for me, if you really want to cooperate, send me some firearms."

Ming Jiao almost didn't have a heart attack, why don't you send some?The Ming family didn't hide much in total. The emperor was stupid. When it came to his own danger, he was very strict in supervision. Moreover, the firearms were concentrated in the capital at that time, and there were not many in the states!
The old god Yang Xixuan was here, and he also wanted to test the Ming family. Seeing that Ming Jiao was silent, he knew it. Sure enough, the Ming family who could study the chariot in private, how could he be honest!
In Fucheng, the general's mansion where Zhou Yu brought Mr. Yu with him, he almost didn't recognize him when he saw Bai Lang, the boy's eyes were sunken in, and he was ill, and he looked very bad.

Zhou Yu is really hurt, this is his student!
