This Zhang Yang seems to be very capable, and who knows how much stuff he has in his stomach yet to spit out.
Li Tai cleared his throat and said, "Open the door and let them in."
"Here!"
The door of King Wei's mansion opened, and everyone who crowded in front of the door finally saw King Li Tai of Wei. As their eyes moved, everyone saw a box of soap placed next to King Li Tai of Wei.
With the wind blowing, you can even smell the scent of soap while standing outside the door.
Li Tai whispered: "Are you here to buy soap?"
Everyone kept nodding.
Li Tai added: "In fact, there are not many soaps made now, because the manufacturing process of soap is very complicated. I only gave one piece to my mother."
Everyone's eyes are still on the soap.
Li Tai looked at the people standing at the door as if they had seen pieces of soap. He said, "Well, I don't have much soap in my hand. One piece of soap costs one hundred guan."
After hearing the offer of one hundred guan for a piece of soap, everyone fell silent.
Li Tai said: "It's not very expensive."
Everyone was silent again.
"It's not expensive!" Someone said now: "My wife has said that she will buy this soap no matter what she wants today. She will buy it for a hundred guan a piece. My family wants ten pieces of soap."
"Okay!" Li Tai was overjoyed.
"I'm willing to buy it too."
After the first one, there will be a second one, and naturally more and more people will accept the price.
Li Tai smiled happily, he got rich, he got rich.
Who can attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?
Those are the top group of dignitaries in the court, and they are now the richest dignitaries in Chang'an City.
Li Tai said: "I don't have much soap here, whoever pays first gets it first."
After saying that, someone hurriedly left to get money.
An hour later, the box of soap next to Li Tai was empty.
What was replaced was boxes of money.
After everyone left, Li Tai had tears of excitement in his eyes, "This is the first time in my life that I have seen so much money."
The servant came and reported: "Your Highness, the secret recipe for making soap is about to be used up."
Li Tai came back to his senses and said, "It's all gone so quickly?"
The attendant whispered: "There are not many in the first place, but the workshop has made dozens of soaps."
Li Tai scratched his head and pointed at the soap to continue making money.
Zhang Yang will also be given 60% of the money.
Li Tai's mood suddenly became less beautiful again, and he asked the attendant in a low voice, "Have they developed the secret recipe?"
The attendant shook his head, "No news yet."
Soap making seems complicated, but it is not difficult once you understand the principles.
As long as you have enough manpower to make dozens or hundreds of dollars a day, it's not a problem.
But it is a big problem that Zhang Yang's secret recipe has not been discovered. Zhang Yang will always keep this king in his hands.
Although I feel a little frustrated, this is a fact that I have to admit.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yang came to the post house. After sharing the money with He Bi, he was about to leave when he saw Li Tai standing at the door of the room.
Why say goodbye in a hurry? Zhang Yang looked at Li Tai and said, "His Royal Highness, King Wei, are you well?"
Li Tai took out a piece of soap and handed it to Zhang Yang, "This is my new taste."
Zhang Yang smelled it and said, "Is this the scent of peonies?"
Li Tai nodded, "I must be smart, the scent of peonies is the most popular right now."
Ailian said that what was said in the poem was right.
Peonies were the most popular among the ancients, especially during the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Yang said: "Actually, His Royal Highness the King of Wei can make some carvings on the soap, which will make it more attractive."
Hearing this, Li Tai suddenly said, "Yes! Each soap should have its own appearance, and you can use a mold to stamp it when it is being plasticized."
Looking at the square piece of soap in his hand, Zhang Yang whispered: "How is the soap business?"
"I knew you would ask this."
Li Tai shouted toward the door: "Bring it in."
The guard placed a bundle on the table and opened the bundle to find pieces of silver cakes. These silver cakes shone brightly in the sun.
Li Tai said with a troubled face: "Sold fifty-six pieces of soap for one hundred guan. I exchanged more than 5,000 guan for silver cakes. Here is your share."
Taking a deep breath, Li Tai closed his eyes and said, "Put away these silver cakes quickly. I can't stand looking at these things. I want to cry when I see them."
After earning 5,000 yuan, he still had to give half of it to Zhang Yang. It was too bullying.
Zhang Yang wrapped the package again, "His Royal Highness, King Wei, has worked hard and strives to earn more, come on!"
"The secret recipe you gave me is not enough. I want to make more, but I can't sell enough right now."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness King Wei, it will be delivered tomorrow."
After saying that, Zhang Yang thought for a while and said: "His Royal Highness, King Wei, do you want to sell as much as you want?"
"if not?"
Zhang Yang pondered and said: "There is a season for flowers. After this season, there will be no chrysanthemums, let alone peonies."
"certainly."
Li Tai said while eating the mutton served by the waiter.
Zhang Yang continued, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei can raise the price and make some soap without fragrance. Of course, soap without fragrance can be sold cheaper."
"It's not difficult to make soap without fragrance. You can raise the price, but that's not appropriate." Li Tai chewed the mutton in his mouth.
"After the season, there is no fragrance of flowers. Things are more valuable when they are scarce."
Listening to Zhang Yang's words, Li Tai frowned, "But I've already said one hundred dollars a piece. If I raise the price, people will inevitably gossip about me. I'm a prince."
Li Tai cares about his reputation. It seems that this little fat man is a little reluctant to do it. The dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty have high-quality leeks. It would be a pity not to cut these leeks.
In today's Tang Dynasty, where consumption power is low, the only people with spending power are the powerful people of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "If His Highness the King of Wei doesn't do this, can he let others do it?"
"What you mean is..."
"I said that the scented soap I have is sold out, but it can be resold on the market. Find a few smart and reliable people and let them resell it at a high price. In this way, the matter will have nothing to do with His Highness King Wei."
"hiss……"
Li Tai took a breath, wondering why he hadn't thought of this method. He looked at Zhang Yang suspiciously and said, "Zhang, what on earth did you become?"
"What's wrong?"
"You are too bad! You are so bad. If it weren't for you and me having a business relationship, I would want to cut off my ties with you right now."
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei has given you the award."
"I'm not complimenting you."
On Zhuque Street after going to court, Cheng Yaojin was walking on his way home. He always felt that something was wrong, and whispered: "Why do I feel like the evil wind in Chang'an City has been blowing recently?"
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I often heard those ladies talk about soap.
