Overnight, the bandit groups near Yun'an City fell apart, and the common people had no idea what happened. However, news spread among the slaves of the nobles: Qinglong Village had wiped out all the other mountains, and no one was spared.
A few people even know that that day was accompanied by the destruction of more than a dozen mountains, and that the commander of the Wuwei Army, Ye Xiaoming, was also a little lost after returning.
Some people speculate that Ye Xiaoming may have fought against the new king of Qinglong Village, but lost!
This is very shocking. Ye Xiaoming, a second-grade person, was defeated? So what is the strength of Qinglong Village?
However, Ye Xiaoming fell silent after he came back. All the nobles and slave owners who wanted to inquire about the news were turned away. Some people noticed that Ye Xiaoming had sent people out of the city. Everyone thought that Ye Xiaoming might be sending reinforcements. As a result, those who secretly left the city,
They all died outside the city.
For a time, Qinglong Village became a closely guarded term among the nobles. No one wanted to act rashly and could only wait.
Regardless of whether there are any moves by the Wuwei Army or any new moves by Qinglong Village, they will probably have a profound impact on Yun'an City.
At the same time, the people in Qinglong Village were not idle at all. They watched Li Heitan leading his troops to Yun'an City one after another, carrying boxes after boxes of soap...
Many shops were actually quite scared at first. They had just received protection fees, so why did they come here again? Then rumors came out: Qinglong Village had a new owner.
Now everyone understands that if there is a new owner, they will definitely have to collect it again. This is a process of establishing authority. Anyone who dares not to pay the protection fee will be killed to scare the monkeys.
Moreover, the strength of Qinglong Village is now mysterious, who knows what means they have prepared to deal with everyone.
Then, everyone gradually discovered that Qinglong Village really wanted to do business with everyone...
Li Heitan led people to carry boxes of soap into the city, and said to the shop owners: "This soap is a good thing. My king said that this thing is a necessity of life. Even if we don't sell it if you get used to it, you will
They will come to us to buy it.”
Lu Shu was very confident in this point. Ordinary people have a need for convenience in life. They will definitely miss this feeling if they are used to using soap that cleans things immediately after washing.
This is a product that adapts to the times, so Lu Shu believes that he only needs to open up the situation and there will be an inevitable harvest.
Slowly, the nobles wanted to find out what the Qinglong Village was doing, so they took these soaps to study. They wanted to know whether this thing was really so magical, or was it just a trick of the Qinglong Village?
Then everyone discovered...it's really useful!
The soaps currently sold in Qinglong Village are a bit expensive, and most civilians cannot afford them. As a result, within seven days, soap became a trend among the aristocratic children, because some nobles and slave owners discovered that this soap was not suitable for washing.
Your hair will be extremely clean.
In the past, the era when everyone washed their hair and rubbed it with leaves has passed, and Yun'an City has officially entered the era of soap.
If this was a normal product, it would definitely not be promoted so quickly. After all, Qinglong Village promotes it in the form of protection fees...
The aristocratic men felt a little pained. In the past, bandits also used to sell things to collect protection fees, but it was just a fig leaf, and all they sold were stones, branches and the like.
This was the first time they saw a bandit selling things seriously, and the things he sold were quite useful...
A month and a half passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone was used to the days when Qinglong Village delivered soap to the mountains. They discovered that Qinglong Village does not sell soap to everyone. At least it is a voluntary basis for ordinary people. You can buy if you want to buy, and forget it if you don’t want to.
.
For a time, the people's sense of Qinglong Village was so good that they even felt that Qinglong Village was really a good bandit who was doing justice for heaven. However, they were told that the big flags on Qinglong Village had been changed and it was no longer called "Peer of Heaven".
It’s called getting rid of poverty and becoming rich…
Moreover, during this period, some people went out of the city to visit relatives. When they came back to tell the people in the city, they encountered people from Qinglong Village blocking the road. Everyone was shocked: "Qinglong Village didn't do anything to you, right?"
The lessons of encountering bandits on the road in the past are still vivid in my mind. Many families were ruined and their lives were destroyed, but looking at this man, nothing seemed to be wrong.
The man said: "They didn't steal my money. They even stuffed me with a piece of soap wrapped in paper and asked me to take it to my relatives. But I have to tell my relatives that this is produced in Qinglong Village of Yun'an City..."
Others gasped, why does this bandit look less and less like a bandit?
This is most obvious to the gang members of Qinglong Village. To be honest, the money earned in this half month can equal the income of the previous year. After all, there used to be more than ten branches, but now there is only one family in Qinglong Village.
One percent of the profits will be shared with Ye Xiaoming, the commander of the armed guards, and the rest will belong to Qinglong Village itself.
But Lu Shu couldn't satisfy this sales volume at all. Except for Li Heitan's team of people who needed to run to the city, everyone else was producing soap.
Yunan City is too small. It is not like a city on Earth, with millions of people in one city.
According to Lu Shu's estimate, Yun'an City probably has less than 100,000 people in total. Of course, Yun'an City has been abused by the armed guards for so many years, so it would be good to have tens of thousands of people.
But among the tens of thousands of people, there weren't that many people who could afford soap, and Lu Shu didn't want to rob the common people, whose lives were already very difficult.
Therefore, Lu Shu focused on the outside market.
Lu Zhou is so big, if everyone in Lu Zhou uses soap, then he is still not allowed to take off? You must know that there are no scientists in this era, and it will take these guys a year and a half to figure out how soap is made.
Qinglong Village is slowly cleaning up, but Lu Shu has never thought about cleaning up everything. After all, in these troubled times, if you look powerful, it will reduce a lot of bullying.
Lu Shu felt that he was too rigid some time ago. He always wanted to quietly integrate into this Lu Zhou world and make himself like a Lu Zhou person. But later he found that Lu Zhou was really chaotic. Everyone was thinking about survival and survival.
Powerful, he only needs to be a little more domineering to be like a Lu Zhou person... no one else will think twice about it.
With the arrival of a new month, Lu Shu asked Li Heitan to collect the new protection fee. When Li Heitan led people to ride horses to Lin Ji's pawn shop, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile: "He is a hero from Qinglong Village. We have been here recently.
They say that all of you in Qinglong Village are good people, and you don’t look like bandits at all.”
Li Heitan glanced at him sideways: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? I brought new soap this time. You can accept it according to the price."
Lin Gui smiled awkwardly and said: "That's right, we didn't even sell out the box last time, so we won't want it this time."
Li Heitan glanced at Lin Gui, took out the machete from his waist and put it on the table: "No more? Who allowed you to say no?"
