I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 56: The famous soap of Qinhuai

A carriage carrying soap just drove into Nanjing City, and a small servant crouching here ran over.

"Housekeeper Chen, we need all the soap for your car."

Before Chen Kaisheng, who was in charge of delivering the soap, had time to answer, several other small businessmen also came over and shouted to buy Chen Kaisheng's soap and soap.

It turns out that since soap and soap were sold in Nanjing last time, soap and soap have become popular in Nanjing, and there has been a situation where there is no market for prices.

To say that Nanjing was a more famous place in ancient times, there is no doubt that the Qinhuai River is one of them.

The smoke cage is cold water and moon cage sand, and Qinhuai is near the restaurant at night.

Pear blossoms resemble snow grasses like smoke, spring on both sides of Qinhuai.

Qinhuai speaks silently about the setting sun, and every family is near the water with red makeup.

......

Poems like this describe the prosperity story of the Qinhuai River.

What is the most famous of Qinhuai River, of course, is the brothel and painting boats. The demand for soap and soap from these brothel women is more urgent than any group.

After being kissed and hugged by those stinky men, those brothel women estimated that what they wanted most afterwards was a bath.

Ordinary pancreas, it is difficult to wash off the smell. And the appearance of soap made these brothel women go into madness. With soap, you don’t have to feel sick anymore.

Moreover, after washing with soap, other men are more willing to smell them, and their business will be much better than those who don't use soap.

Therefore, soap is just needed for women in the brothel, indispensable, and more important than three meals a day.

After learning about the magical effect of soap, many merchants have already set off to Suzhou to purchase goods, and some are waiting for the second batch of soap from the Chen family.

No, as soon as Chen Kaisheng appeared, those who had been squatting for a long time approached him and surrounded him. Everyone wanted to monopolize the soap, and even shouted a high price.

Nowadays, soap is a complete seller's market, and the demand is far greater than the supply.

"Be quiet. My shopkeeper said that these soaps and soaps cannot be sold to a single family. Each person is limited to ten yuan. And don't worry, we are already expanding production, and the next batch will be shipped soon... ...."

The exclusive seller business is so good, Chen Daolin even played with the strategy of limited purchase, giving the impression that soap is a high-end rare product, and the supply is in short supply.

Of course, the soaps in this era are indeed high-end rare products.

Hong Chengchou, who was riding a high-headed horse on the side, saw this scene and couldn't help but ask his entourage: "What is soap, it actually costs five taels of silver, and it is so popular?"

As a Minister of the Interior, Hong Chengchou is not a stunned official who does not know the price of rice. He has an understanding of the prices of various commodities on the market.

And this soap, he has heard of it for the first time now. What makes him even more incredible is that this kind of thing is sold so expensive, and there are still people rushing to buy it.

"My lord, this thing appeared in Nanjing half a month ago, and it is said to be produced in Suzhou. After bathing with this thing, it can not only remove all stains and odors on the body, but also leave a fragrance on the body. It is a woman's favorite thing. .Would you like to go down and buy a few dollars for the adults to send home to the lady?"

At this time, the accompanying officials were extremely grateful that the concubine at home had used this thing, and boasted to him the magic of this soap, he only knew so much detail.

And this helped him a lot. If he couldn't answer Hong Chengchou's question just now, he would inevitably leave an impression of incompetence for Hong Chengchou.

But now, it left Hong Chengchou's impression of being attentive, and his promotion would be easier in the future.

"Do you know the cost?"

Hong Chengchou asked.

"I don't know the details, but according to the speculation of many merchants, the cost should not be high. This is a lucrative business."

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou paid more attention to it.

Suzhou is now occupied by Wu Changqing, and he is recruiting and expanding his army frantically.

The biggest problem with army expansion is money. If Suzhou has such a way to make money, then Wu Changqing's army expansion will also be smoother.

Of course, the effect of a soap may not be so great, but it has to be guarded.

Now Wu Changqing is an extremely difficult character to deal with, Hong Chengchou does not want Wu Changqing to continue to develop and grow.

"Send someone to check this soap in detail to see if it has anything to do with Wu Changqing. It's best to find a way to get the formula and not let all the money flow to Suzhou."

Hong Chengchou said.

Back to the government office, Hong Chengchou asked to submit all the latest information about Wu Changqing, which he needed to read in person.

From the latest information, he learned that Wu Changqing was still aggressively scraping craftsmen, also expanding his army, and his wedding was just around the corner. There is another piece of information that attracted Hong Chengchou's attention, that is, Wu Changqing has launched an education, expanded the Mongolian school and opened a university hall.

Just like Gu Yanwu, Hong Chengchou couldn't understand Wu Changqing's sorrowful operation.

In the face of the millions of troops in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, shouldn't the most important thing at this time be to expand the army and then expand the army? Actually spending money on education, this is not because of a mental illness.

Hong Chengchou didn't believe that Wu Changqing had a brain disease. People with a brain disease continued to win the battle. Then Liu Liangzuo and the others were just waste among the waste?

Now that it is determined that there is no disease, then this kind of action must be meaningful.

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but fell into deep thought, pondering the truth.

Could it be that he simply puts more emphasis on education?

After thinking for a while, Hong Chengchou really couldn't figure it out. Of course, this is not because of his lack of IQ, it is that Wu Changqing's behavior does not conform to common sense logic.

Although he didn't figure it out, Hong Chengchou still saw some interesting things from this incident.

He suspected that Wu Changqing was probably just shouting to fight against Qing and Fuming. He was not really interested in the Ming Dynasty. He was more likely to be a careerist who wanted to take advantage of the troubled times to rise and seek success in Jiuzhou.

There is no shortage of such careerists at any time, but more people will be exposed in troubled times.

If it is not for careerists, how can it be possible to attach importance to the long-term reward of education?

Moreover, Wu Changqing theoretically did not have the power to promote this kind of education policy, which was a matter of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. Wu Changqing's unabashed intervention in this way obviously did not take the Ming Dynasty's system and rules into consideration.

Hong Chengchou would not believe this kind of person to say he was loyal to Daming.

Discovering this, Hong Chengchou felt a little more happy.

If Wu Changqing was loyal to Daming, he would really worry that the Ming court would strongly support Wu Changqing in the rear.

As a result, it would be even more difficult for them to deal with Wu Changqing.

But now, Wu Changqing and Daming are not monolithic, they can defeat them separately. At least, when attacking Wu Changqing, there is no need to worry about the Ming Dynasty supporting Wu Changqing with food and soldiers.

"It's not easy to have such ambitions at a young age, but it's still too tender."

Hong Chengchou said with emotion that he not only admired Wu Changqing's ability and ambition, but also despised Wu Changqing's gaze, feeling that Wu Changqing was a bit whimsical.
