I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 301 The Third Lady Wants Soap

When the third lady heard Li Tian's words, she immediately smiled, but then frowned again.

Gently patted his majestic chest, and said like a little girl,

"Hey, I don't want to hide it from my son, the slave family is so troubled now, it's not because of the soap.

The soap business is now booming all over the capital, no matter if it is a high-ranking official or an ordinary family, almost every family regards it as a treasure, and the slave family is naturally not far behind.

I asked someone to buy some and came back. After using it, the effect shocked my family.

So the slave family thought, this thing is so good, but it is only sold in one place in the capital, and there are a lot of business opportunities in it. "

Having said that, she paused for a while, looked at Li Tian's face and continued,

"But what I didn't expect is that there are many people who think like me, and I'm relying on my previous face.

Although I met Uncle Zhang Guo who is currently in charge of the workshop, the slave family tried hard to talk, but still couldn't impress him and asked him to order more goods for the slave family. "

Speaking of this, she approached Li Tian calmly, as if she was tempting Li Tian, ​​lightly grabbed Li Tian's sleeve, and said coquettishly,
"My family knows that Mr. Li has a hand and eye. If you can help my family get some goods, my family promises to complete the workshop within two months, and will never delay your business."

Smelling the faint fragrance of her body, and looking at her pretty face, and her beautiful figure, which is slightly better than that of the queen, the fire that the queen started at noon was almost ignited.

Li Tian took several deep breaths and managed to suppress this evil fire.

He took half a step back calmly, and said loudly,
"I thought it was such a big deal, isn't it just a piece of soap, it doesn't matter if Mr. Li buys you a few thousand yuan."

When the third lady heard these words, the flowers and branches trembled with excitement, and the two hills swayed non-stop like the earth was shaking.

If she hadn't been a married woman and was born in this era of strict etiquette, she would probably jump over in the next moment and kiss Li Tian a few times.

But she still bullied her whole body, hugged Li Tian's arm, and shook it up and down several times.

"It's great that Mr. Li is willing to help, I'm really grateful..."

Li Tian pulled his arm back from her hand with great difficulty, feeling the soft and firm touch just now, his heart was beating wildly.

"I wondered, is this little girl an ancient person? How could she be so unrestrained?"

In fact, if the third lady hadn't told him face to face, Li Tian would not have been able to see how popular soap was at this time just from the reports of Zhang Yongri and others.

This prevented Li Tian from revisiting his previous plan.

Before that, he set the production standard for the workshop as a daily output of 9000 yuan for ordinary soap and 1000 yuan for scented soap.

The reason for such a ratio is mainly because the soap is relatively expensive, and he is afraid that he will not be able to sell it, so he sets such a low output.

Soap is not much different from ordinary soap in essence, but in the process of making, some more spices are added.

If you want to change the production structure, you only need to increase the rationing, which is very simple.

In fact, Li Tian didn't quite understand one thing.

That is in this era, spices are very precious things, whether it is the sachets that rich people usually wear to cover up body odor, or the seasoning that is put on when eating big fish and meat,

Or rhino horn and sandalwood burned when reading or praying are all good things with high prices.

Fortunately, the sachet can be carried for a long time before the fragrance dissipates.

But whether it's seasoning or sandalwood, they all disappear after use.

But soap is different. If you save a little, a piece of soap is enough for one person to use for a month.

That is to say, it can guarantee the fragrance of one month.

And this month only needs to spend two taels of silver, which is really a bargain.

Not to mention, the soap also has an outstanding cleaning function, and the effect is much better than the popular saponins.

Such things, for those high-ranking officials who are very light on the surface, but are actually very rich behind the scenes, it is really a bargain for only two taels of silver.

As a result, a large number of businessmen began to use their brains to sell a large amount of soap to the more affluent south.

Even if you buy four taels of silver when you get there, it will probably be swept away immediately.

Not to mention other places, just talk about the girls on the hundreds of thousands of flower boats on the Qinhuai River, who doesn't have a few taels of silver on hand.

This kind of good thing that is easy to use and can linger in people's fragrance all day, it is no problem to specify it by hand.

For them alone, it is no problem at all to spend thousands of dollars a month.

If you add the lords and concubines under the rich and powerful in Jiangnan, even if the number is increased by ten times, it will actually be consumed.

Buy it for two taels of silver in the capital, and sell it for double the price in Jiangnan. If this is not considered a huge profit, then what is it.

You know, a piece of soap itself weighs two or two, which is equivalent to silver.

Some people have even regarded soap as hard currency and spent it directly as money.

It's just that it's impossible for Li Tian to know this kind of thing.

More importantly, soap is a consumable, and it will be consumed no matter how much you save.

After a month, you can harvest another sum, which is a good deal with huge profits.

It is no wonder that so many people almost stepped through the threshold of Zhang Yongri's house.

Even the always proud third lady almost threw herself into Li Tian's arms.

Li Tian casually agreed to the third wife to give her a few thousand yuan of goods. If calculated at 5000 yuan, if they were shipped to the south and sold for four taels a piece, she could earn nearly 1 taels of silver by changing hands.

This is a much more profitable business than the iron smelting workshop, and there is no risk.

It's normal for the third lady to be so jealous.

However, Li Tian agreed to supply her, but he was not impulsive.

He also has his own considerations.

Previously, he had asked Zhang Yongri and the others to increase production, and at noon he promised the queen that the orphans of Jing Nan would also participate.

If the ratio of ordinary soap to ordinary soap is slightly increased, and the thousands of dollars are collected, there is actually no problem at all.

His idea is that the more she is grateful for his help when he is benevolent to the third lady at this time, the easier it will be for him to take the whole iron smelting workshop into his hands.

It's just that he still needs the third wife to help him sort out various things at this time, and there are places where she can be used, and he has this plan.

Looking at the third lady who seemed to be sticking to him, Li Tian hurriedly said,
"Okay, third lady, the matter of the soap is all on my son. Should we talk about serious things?"

At this time, the third lady realized that she was about to stick to Li Tian's body, her pretty face blushed, and the two hurriedly bowed,
"Forgive me, my lord, my family... My family's sense of complacency, please forgive me, my lord."
