Because of the demand for soap, more and more caravans are coming and going in Nangeng City. In Lu Zhou's war, it was not allowed to kill envoys or caravans. For no other reason than the old god king's rigid rules.
.
Some caravans were originally nearby and did not dare to approach Weibei Pass and Liyang Pass due to the war. However, now that the war is over and they heard that soap can be purchased in Nangeng City, they came here.
Lu Shu underestimated the charm of soap. He thought it would take at least two or three years for soap to become completely popular. However, he did not understand the Lu Zhou people's pursuit of cleanliness and hygiene while their spiritual level was improving.
Many rituals require you to bathe and change clothes before performing them to make them appear more sacred. But are you feeling melancholy if you still can’t wash your hair clean after bathing and changing clothes? In this day and age, girls still use rice water to wash their hair.
In many martial arts novels, the young master in them is described as being so dashing and unrestrained. He can still be graceful and elegant after walking in the wild for half a month. If you ask him to try it in reality, how can he be said to be graceful and graceful even if his hair is greasy after not washing for three days?
However, the birth of soap saved these young men.
The more everyone yearns for the white clothes and snow that the old god king described to them in the poem, the more everyone desires for things like soap...
Therefore, Nangeng City suddenly became lively, and the infrastructure construction could not keep up.
Before leaving, Lu Shu specifically explained to Zhang Weiyu, Liu Yizhao and the others what improvements they needed to make: first, the carriages and horses must keep up, and the caravans must not be left without a place to feed the horses and mules. Secondly, the hotels and inns must also keep up, and the caravans must not be left behind.
There is no place to live when we come here. Thirdly, the productivity of soap products needs to be improved and we need to think carefully about how to operate the assembly line.
Lu Shu looked at Zhang Weiyu and Liu Yizhao seriously at that time, and Li Heitan said: "Finally, we must take preventive measures. Once someone from the caravan wants to steal the secret formula, those who fail to steal will be fined!"
Zhang Weiyu asked: "What about the stolen ones?"
Li Heitan suddenly said: "I know this. If you steal the formula, let him go!"
Zhang Weiyu was stunned for a moment: "Let him go? How to let him go?"
Li Heitan nodded firmly: "Send him on his way!"
Zhang Weiyu had a toothache for a long time, so this is how he left...
But they were a bit confused: "The horse racing shops and hotels are run by the big slave owners and nobles themselves. Should we order them to open them or something?"
"Forcing them to drive this kind of thing will kill their enthusiasm," Lu Shu said, hating that iron was not as strong as steel. Why did this group of people still think so rigidly after following him for so long: "We need guidance, do you understand? Tax reduction!"
After becoming the city lord, Lu Shu no longer needed to use subsidies. He would directly reduce taxes without spending any money himself. He would then withdraw the taxes when the industry was established. By then, everyone would have made money, and who would be able to follow suit?
Can't get through the money?
"The water canals in the city must keep up. Don't let them flood when it rains. Pave the roads that are not paved with stone slabs as soon as possible. Part of the early tax revenue of Nangeng City can be allocated to this. There must be fixed roads in the city.
Garbage cleaners, etc. We need to build a hygienic and civilized city, you know. Everyone feels comfortable when they come here, and they will come back again in the future." Lu Shu said seriously: "Don't do business with the mentality of being an uncle, do it in a service-oriented way.
Businessman, do you understand?"
Zhang Weiyu suddenly asked: "Serve them? What if someone makes trouble?"
Li Heitan raised his hand again. This was still a habit he had developed during his literacy days: "I know this too."
Before Li Heitan could speak, Zhang Weiyu nodded: "Send them on their way, right?"
"Yes!" Li Heitan said seriously.
Bandits are bandits after all, Zhang Weiyu sighed, but he knew very well that in this troubled world, only you who are strong enough can protect yourself.
During this period, Zhang Weiyu would go to Tiangeng Town every now and then to take a look. Although he himself didn't know what he was waiting for or what he was looking for, he always felt at ease when he went to take a look.
After Lu Shu explained everything, he took Xiaoyu and left with a caravan heading to the royal city. Since arriving in Nangeng City, Lu Shu has not appeared in public, nor has he discussed business with any caravan.
.
In Lu Shu's words, he, a dignified city lord, still needs to negotiate business with the caravan, and he can't afford to lose that person. Zhang Weiyu thought to himself, aren't you just a businessman who wants to hide and practice swordsmanship?
I have to say that Zhang Weiyu admired Lu Shu the most. No matter where he went, he would try not to delay his sword practice.
Anyone who has practiced cultivation can understand that cultivation is actually a very boring thing, but Lu Shu never felt tired.
Lu Xiaoyu also asked Lu Shu why he practiced so hard. At that time, Lu Shu only said that he wanted to become stronger. He also watched Naruto with Lu Xiaoyu and envied the people in it who could be so powerful.
I don’t know how many people have dreamed that they can form seals with their hands and be as powerful as the protagonists in anime.
However, as we grow up, everyone faces mundane work, complex interpersonal relationships, and the dangers of society.
All I think about is fame, fortune, promotion and salary increase.
Until one day, everyone suddenly looked back and discovered that when they were sleeping, there was no longer a dragon-slaying warrior in their dreams, nor was there a certain figure in the midnight dream when they were young.
Some people say it’s maturity, but Lu Shu thinks it’s better to say it’s death.
So since Lu Shu and the others have the opportunity to realize their dream, they must cherish it.
Lu Shu has always been a person who knows how to cherish.
The reason why Lu Shu and Xiao Yu followed the caravan was entirely because they didn't know the way and walking was too strenuous. Also, Lu Shu didn't plan on arriving at the royal city too early.
It seems that there is still more than a month left before the registration for the Jianlu selection begins. After the start, there is still a three-month registration period. This period of time is actually reserved by Jianlu for those candidates, so that they can find out the results of others through their own means.
situation, and even directly eliminate others.
Jianlu doesn't care what means you use. According to Jianlu, don't practice if you don't have a sense of defense against others. The higher your cultivation level, the faster you will die. Jianlu does not cultivate waste.
Of course, everyone has figured out Jianlu's routine over the years. They don't care what they say, but if they are too despicable, they will definitely be eliminated under Jianlu's deliberate arrangements.
Therefore, the players of Jianlu are very particular about the time and timing of entering the royal city. The moment they enter the royal city, it means that the competition has begun.
However, Lu Shu's situation was different from theirs. Those players only had to worry about other players, while Lu Shu had to worry about others seeking revenge...
Lu Shu still knew how many enemies the Wuwei Army had in the royal city, so he decided to arrive late and practice some practice on the way...
When the city lord went out, the Wuwei army must have prepared a sturdy carriage and the best horses for Lu Shu. Li Heitan cried and shouted that he wanted to go with the king, but Lu Shu refused because it was too dangerous.
