"This thing is five taels of silver a piece, and the price is ridiculously high, but many women are queuing up to buy it. As a result, the supply exceeds demand. My aunt at home is still pestering my old man. He has no choice but to drag the relationship and go through the back door.
Just got it."
"I heard that the rich families in the capital now show off how much soap they buy at home."
Zhao Xuanji had no interest in women, and he only had two wives. Therefore, Zhao Xuanji only had one aunt, so he was not sensitive to women's things.
But when he saw several friends at the table with many aunts and wives at home nodding their heads in agreement, he immediately understood that this thing called soap was probably really popular.
"So divine?"
Zhao Tailai frowned and said: "For five taels of silver, ordinary people can't afford this thing, but the rich people are queuing up to buy it?"
The person who gave the information sneered: "That's not all. The merchant selling this soap has made it clear that the soap they are selling now is just for rich people. In the future, there will be cheap soap, just a few cents."
Money will only become popular at that time, but even if you tell the rich people openly that they are being ripped off, they still line up to buy it, and they flock to it."
As he spoke, he chuckled and said: "Brother Zhao, you said that if you get the formula for this thing, take it to Jinling and find a few craftsmen to make it, wouldn't it be a lot of money? Jinling is rich and rich.
There are more wealthy people than in the capital, and there are so many women there, it’s like grabbing money with sacks.”
"When the time comes, not only will Brother Zhao take care of your own expenses, but the boss will also look down upon you. Isn't it wonderful?"
Zhao Tailai hesitated and said, "But doing business... is a bit of a loss."
"What kind of loss?"
The man said: "Who doesn't know that those businessmen are the richest, but they don't show it. They are all extravagant in private, and their lives are much better than ours. They make a fortune in silence, and even more
What's more, Brother Zhao, why do you have to do it yourself? Just send a trustworthy man to act as an agent, and you stand behind the scenes to get benefits. It's not good for him?"
Zhao Tailai was completely moved. He asked with shining eyes: "Who is doing this business?"
"Liu family."
The man chuckled and said, "It's the Liu family who cooperated with the Ministry of Accounts to open a bank."
Upon hearing this from the Liu family, several people nearby who were originally in high spirits frowned.
"I know about the Liu family. When the Prince of the East Palace killed the four major merchants in the capital, they were the only ones left. After surviving the disaster, they took off immediately. Not only did they intervene in part of the salt transportation business, but also the bank in the Ministry of Household Affairs
All projects are done together with them.”
As soon as Zhao Tailai heard that the Liu family was involved with the East Palace, he immediately backed down and said, "Well, let's forget it."
Zhao Tailai is a dandy, but he is not stupid.
He knows who he cannot mess with in the capital.
The one in the East Palace must not be touched.
The last few times I didn't die at the hands of the prince, I was already burning incense.
Even after he came back, he had to suffer a lot.
The person who spoke first said disdainfully: "What's going on with the Liu family? Even though they are doing something spectacular now, it's amazing. In fact, who knows what their relationship is with the East Palace?"
"Who is the Prince of Donggong, who would like these lowly people doing business? It may be that the Liu family has benefited Donggong, and the prince turns a blind eye, and then they do business under the banner of Donggong.
