After seeing the reactions of Shangguan Yi and Jiao'er in front of him, Muchuan showed a smile and then shook his head.
He quickly explained.
"The rarer this thing is, the more valuable it is."
After finishing speaking, Muchuan did not explain, turned around and left with a smile.
Shangguan Yi kept repeating Muchuan's words, and then he showed a knowing smile after a long time.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Mu is really a great talent, I'm convinced, I'm really convinced!"
Jiaoer became even more confused, her beautiful eyes full of incomprehension and surprise.
What does this mean? Why is Shangguan Yi so convinced?
However, Shangguan Yi obviously had no intention of explaining, as he had already disappeared without a trace.
After seeing Shangguan Yi leave, Jiaoer stamped her feet angrily and pouted her mouth angrily.
Inside Changsun Wuji's mansion.
As the wife of Changsun Wuji, Mrs. Zhao seemed to be possessed by a demon.
The servants in the mansion also came and went, and it took a long time before they came to her out of breath.
"Madam, this old slave has found out that this soap is sold by a shop called Longliqi in the inner city."
After Ms. Zhao heard about Longliqi, she was obviously taken aback and seemed a little confused.
She usually went out for a walk when she was bored, but she had never heard of Longliqi at all.
The old housekeeper on the side quickly spoke to his wife: "Madam, this Longliqi only appeared in the past few days."
Mrs. Zhao then nodded. No wonder she hadn't seen it before. It turned out that it had just opened.
"Go to Longliqi immediately and buy me some soap."
Mrs. Zhao spoke coldly to the old housekeeper in front of her.
After the old housekeeper heard what his wife said, his face was full of wry smile and helplessness.
"Madam, there is a sign at the door of Longliqi, saying that soap will not be sold publicly until three days later..."
Looking at the troubled old housekeeper in front of her, Ms. Zhao was obviously stunned.
"Three days later?"
The old housekeeper nodded quickly and did not dare to say anything more.
After a long time, Mrs. Zhao just ordered: "Then you immediately send someone to line up for me. If you can't buy it in three days, don't blame me for being rude!"
After seeing his wife's attitude, the old housekeeper felt helpless, but he could only bite the bullet and promise: "Don't worry, madam, I will arrange for the servants to queue up immediately!"
At the same time, news of the soap spread throughout the palace of the court bosses.
All the ladies were gearing up to prepare.
You know, this soap is no longer a simple hand washing item, but a matter of face.
Which one of them is not a famous figure in Chang'an City?
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if there was no soap?
For people of their status, money is nothing at all, only face is the most important.
An extremely strange scene occurred in the inner city of Chang'an City.
That was the door of a shop that hadn't opened yet, and it was filled with servants from various major families.
There was even a long queue, but no one was willing to leave. Instead, they looked like they were preparing for a protracted battle.
Some well-informed businessmen have already gotten some inside information.
It's just that they are completely ignorant of the new term soap, and even stare at it with confusion and incomprehension on their faces.
What's more, this soap will appear in the palace of Queen Changsun. How can they not understand what is going on?
But this way, they became even more curious.
Who is the boss behind Longliqi? How can the mother of a country stand up to promote their products? This is simply a fantasy!
If His Majesty hadn't openly spoken out and refused to compete with the people for profit, I'm afraid they would have thought that the royal family was openly doing business.
But no matter what, Longliqi's hands and eyes could reach the sky, and they were already frightened from the bottom of their hearts.
They have even notified their respective industries to prohibit touching the things operated by Longliqi.
If Longliqi has any needs, they must be satisfied to the greatest extent.
After receiving the news, the shopkeepers of the major shops down there were all puzzled and confused.
But how could they dare to ask? They could only bite the bullet and follow the instructions from above.
Regardless of the turmoil in Chang'an City, Muchuan is now leisurely making soap in his mansion.
It's not that he is hiding his secrets and is unwilling to give the formula to his subordinates.
Even if this recipe was given to them, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to understand it, and they might make a bunch of inferior products, so Muchuan could only bite the bullet and make it himself.
Fortunately, the soap project is not complicated, so it is quite busy.
The cost price of this piece of soap is about two taels of silver.
The selling price is fifty taels of silver, which means that he can make a net profit of forty-eight taels by selling one piece.
He had to prepare at least a thousand pieces of soap to complete the task of 50,000 silver given by the system.
Now it is still a little short of a thousand bars of soap.
So Muchuan didn't hesitate or talk nonsense, and quickly worked overtime to prepare.
In the other courtyard where Li Lizhi was, Jiaoer asked her princess with curiosity: "Princess, why did Mr. Muchuan delay the sale for three days? You must know that now is the best time.
ah!"
After Li Lizhi heard Jiao'er's words, she said with a smile: "I usually ask you to read more books, but you don't do it!"
Jiaoer smiled bitterly, but still couldn't suppress her inner curiosity, and asked Li Lizhi again.
After a long time, Li Lizhi finally started to explain to Jiao'er.
This is what is called playing the long game to catch the big fish. If you think about it, rare things are more valuable. In this way, people who do not get the soap will value it instead of being indifferent!
After Jiaoer received Li Lizhi's affirmative answer, she finally came to her senses.
After a long while, she nodded and said, as if she had just woken up from a dream: "I understand, so that's how it is!"
After Jiao'er figured it out, she seemed to be very excited, and she danced and said.
After taking a look at Jiao'er's appearance, Li Lizhi shook her head slightly.
Seeing Jiao'er in front of her, Li Lizhi believed even more that Muchuan could earn the Tang Dynasty's taxes within a year.
Because this matter of accepting bribes involves a wide range of things, the appointment of officials by the imperial court may have to be delayed for a while. She will have to help Muchuan manage it recently.
After thinking of this, a sweet smile appeared on Li Lizhi's lips.
Jiao'er on the side took one look at the silly expression on her princess's face and was completely speechless. She was also thinking about it in her heart.
My princess is really in love, right? After thinking of this, Jiaoer's face changed slightly, and she looked a little ugly.
She tentatively said to Li Lizhi: "Princess, don't you fall in love with Mr. Muchuan?"
After being poked into Jiao'er's heart, Li Lizhi said angrily: "Jiao'er, what did you say? How is that possible?"
After saying that, she seemed a little shy, and she quickly turned around and ran towards the bedroom.
Looking at Li Lizhi's back, Jiaoer was completely helpless.
Isn't it right? The princess actually got herself in when leaving the palace this time?
This is really...
Jiaoer didn't know what adjectives should be used to describe the current situation.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Longliqi in Muchuan also opened for the first time!
