make money.
And make a lot of money.
Make enough money for the Dog Emperor.
This is Li Hongbi's first five-year plan.
The Dog Emperor is the Emperor of Heaven, will he be short of money?
Not only is it missing, but it’s missing the kind that makes your eyes glow red!
Because he is Zhu Di, and his position is not right!
No matter how the history books are revised, no one can change the fact that Zhu Di rebelled and usurped the throne.
And he is facing the same situation as Tang Taizong Li Shimin at this moment.
The Dog Emperor is eager to prove to the world through his martial arts and martial arts that he, Zhu Di, is qualified to sit on this dragon chair. He, Zhu Di, is more qualified to be the emperor of tomorrow than the useless scholar Zhu Yunwen.
But martial arts skills are not so easy to come by.
Throughout Zhu Di's life, he built the new capital of Peiping, dredged the North-South Grand Canal, compiled the "Yongle Dadian", sent Zheng He to the Western Seas, and personally led the Northern Expedition to Tatar Wala...
Each of these items requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources. In any dynasty, it is a major national policy that can be regarded as the country's century-old plan!
However, the Dog Emperor completed it all in just one Yongle Dynasty!
That’s right, the Dog Emperor is all done!
If it weren't for the prince Zhu Gaochi and the minister of household affairs Xia Yuanji standing behind him, there would be no Yongle Emperor. I'm afraid that Zhu Di, who is so militaristic and eager to achieve great achievements, would have become "Yang Guang's second"!
In short, Zhu Di lacks money more than anyone else in the world.
Only with sufficient money and food can he complete his cultural and martial arts aspirations and support Zhu Di's ambitions!
Therefore, the best way to solve the predicament of Duke Cao is to prove his worth to the Dog Emperor.
Among them, making money is obviously the best choice!
As long as you can make money for him, the Dog Emperor, then you will be Zhu Di’s God of Wealth!
Don't tell me that he has settled a score with your queen, people would like to enshrine you as their ancestor!
Li Hongbi was very confident in this. If a modern person who traveled back in time couldn't even make money in the Ming Dynasty, he might as well just buy a piece of tofu and kill himself, so as not to embarrass the time-traveling army!
Last time, the old dandy Li Jinglong fought with Li Hongbi for a long time for a box of purple powder. In desperation, Li Hongbi promised to give him a skin care product after returning to Beijing, turning the old dandy into a "jade-faced little white dragon" .
This so-called skin care baby is actually the most basic facial mask.
There were so many expensive cosmetics in later generations, but Li Hongbi didn't know much about them and couldn't make them.
But the facial mask is very simple. It is nothing more than three main ingredients: egg white, pearl powder, and ginseng powder, plus a few non-irritating herbs that are beneficial to skin healing and repair, crushed into powder and added with the best quality ingredients. Mix lotus root powder into a paste.
Well, just stir and stir.
As for the functions, it can moisturize, remove acne, remove freckles, eliminate scars, nourish the skin, increase longevity, etc. You can use it as you like, or arrange it all.
As for the sales market, it shouldn’t be too big!
At present, the cosmetics of the Ming Dynasty are nothing more than rice powder, lead powder, purple powder and other simple and crude things, which look like a ghost when applied on the face.
In particular, lead powder and mercury powder are themselves heavy metal products. Although they have a good whitening effect, they are toxic. Regular use is harmful to the skin and can cause the skin to turn blue. Excessive use can even lead to a series of skin diseases.
Moreover, these gouache rouges are not cheap. For example, the purple powder used by Li Jinglong is expensive, and the pearl powder used by the concubines in the palace is even more valuable.
It is said that the old witch Cixi not only used pearl powder on her face, but also took pearl powder to nourish her skin. According to records, she took pearl powder once every ten days. She used a small silver spoon and served it with warm tea to achieve whitening. Beauty effect.
Well, if you take it for a long time, it will be strange that the old witch will not die.
It is conceivable that when the facial mask comes out, it will definitely be frantically scrambled by the ladies of the Ming Dynasty.
And these ladies are also the main customer group set by Li Hongbi.
Women make the best money, especially those who are rich.
As for the price, is it too much to sell a small bottle of such an amazing skin care product and beauty product for a thousand taels?
Not too much at all.
Even a little low.
For those noble ladies who are empty, lonely and cold, money is not an issue, appearance is.
As soon as a woman reaches the age of forty, various skin problems will appear, and the sallow appearance of old age is not welcomed.
They can't stop their men from going out to look for flowers and flowers, so you can imagine how tempting this skin care and beauty tool is to these noble ladies.
Just do it.
Li Jinglong waved his hand and immediately summoned a group of craftsmen from the Duke's Mansion.
However, Li Hongbi ordered them to spread their hands, and after observing them carefully, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The hands of these craftsmen are rough and dark, which is not suitable for doing such delicate work.
If those noble ladies knew that the facial mask applied on their faces was made by the gangsters in front of them, wouldn't that be deliberately disgusting?
"My son, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with them? As a father, I will give you a new batch!"
He is worthy of being the most old dandy in the Ming Dynasty. No matter what he says, there is always a strong smell of prostitution.
Also "change a batch"!
Choosing a craftsman is like choosing a prostitute!
Li Hongbi waved his hand to signal these craftsmen to retreat, and fell into deep thought alone.
If you really want to talk about it, as long as the proportion of materials is correct, the production process is simple, and there is really no need to use those skilled craftsmen.
In this case, finding a maid to do this job is the best choice!
Whatever he wanted to do, Li Hongbi asked all the maids in the Duke's Mansion to gather in the courtyard, and then asked all the maids to spread their hands, while he looked over one by one.
This scene is like choosing a concubine.
Although the maids did not know what the young master was going to do, they were still a little excited and hopeful in their hearts, hoping to be chosen by the young master.
Unfortunately, after looking around, Li Hongbi only picked out four maids.
It was a coincidence that these four maids were all the maids Li Jinglong prepared for him. Whenever the young master was full and warm, he would have someone to sleep with him at any time.
Li Hongbi in front of him was just a lump of elm wood. He only knew how to study the books of sages and turned a deaf ear to these four women.
Therefore, the four women were mainly responsible for Li Hongbi's food, clothing and daily life. They did not have to do any rough work, such as undressing and pouring water. This ensured that their hands were smooth and white, making people linger.
Li Jinglong has been in the forefront of prostitution all year round, and his vision of women is naturally among the best in the world.
These four maids are of great beauty, and they look like beauties at first glance.
"My son, how are you? Are you satisfied? If you are not satisfied, my father will give you another batch..."
"Ahem, okay, okay." Li Hongbi waved the people away and returned to the room with the four maids.
The four maids were all a little happy and excited, looking at Li Hongbi with blushing faces.
If they can become the real maids of the Young Master, their status in the Duke's Mansion will naturally rise, at least they will no longer be as humble as before.
"Well, let me introduce myself first!"
Li Hongbi looked at the four pretty women and couldn't help but blush.
"Young Master, the four servants are named after spring, summer, autumn and winter, with the word "香" added after them."
Chunxiang gave the answer respectfully, appearing extremely well-behaved.
Li Hongbi was startled when he heard this, and then subconsciously blurted out: "Where is Qiuxiang?"
Qiuxiang, who was standing in third place, was startled and immediately bowed and saluted.
"My servant Qiuxiang, I have met the young master."
This Qiuxiang has an oval face, a tall figure, and a bulging chest. Although she is not impressive, she is vaguely extraordinary.
Li Hongbi's eyes lit up and he nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, from now on the four of you will be my young master's personal maids, just call me young master."
"Today, sir, I will give you an important errand. If you do it well, you will be rewarded heavily!"
When Sixiang heard this, she smiled happily.
"Now, go and wash your hands, make them white and tender."
Sixiang was stunned when he heard this, and then seemed to think of something, and even more so, Xiafei's cheeks were extremely beautiful.
It's broad daylight, Master, you don't want to...
Oops, I’m so embarrassed!
