Lu Qing has been busy making soap these days.
I wanted to carve some models of flowers and plants by myself, but found that I was not the material, so I asked Kowako to find some eunuchs and maids in the palace who were good at carving to do this.
Xiaohezi is too busy alone, so her food and daily life in the palace are currently managed by Yingxue.
After what happened last time, Lu Qing discovered that Yingxue was a good candidate. Not only was she calm and methodical in her work, but she also knew how to be flexible. The main reason was that her methods were not weak. She would have unexpected effects on many things.
As for her background, Lu Qing had asked Xiao Hezi to check it out. She had no father or mother, and was adopted by the Salesian Church from a young age. When she was five years old, the Salesian Church was burned down by a fire, and she became a beggar from then on. At the age of ten, she entered the palace by chance. During this period, she stayed with an unfavored concubine of the late emperor as a maid. After the death of the concubine, she was unified into the Palace Ladies Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Later, she was selected to As an errand in Longquan Palace.
With his background at ease, Lu Qing can also feel at ease when using people.
After several days of observation, Yingxue's management ability was indeed remarkable, and Lu Qing expressed that he was very satisfied.
Now that Yingxue is a helper, Xiaohezi can feel more relaxed and has enough time to do many things.
In the past two days, in addition to asking people to make soap, she also wrote out the steps for daily necessities such as soap, shampoo and toothpaste and asked people to try to make them.
Among them, the soap she wanted to make was a high-end product that was used by wealthy people and defined the consumer class. Lu Qing started to make arrangements.
First of all, soaps can be made into soaps with different scents according to the seasons. They can be made into a series of products. Lu Qing also put a lot of thought into the boxes for the soaps. They must look high-end and classy. You have to like it at first glance.
To put it bluntly, high-end people sell products based on price and elegance. They want people to think that this thing is worth so much money.
With toothpaste, of course you also need to get the toothbrush out. It is best to use it in conjunction with it.
So, in the past few days, Lu Qing has been researching what animal hair to use to make a toothbrush. The thing used to brush teeth now is a tool called a 'tooth spring', which is not called a toothbrush. It is made of bamboo or other wood. The one that came out was slightly curved in shape and had soft bristles at one end. It was used to clean teeth. Although it was somewhat similar to the toothbrush she used in her previous life, the style and comfort were much worse. Frequent brushing caused her teeth to ache and it was not beautiful, but The quality is really good.
Lu Qing intends to come up with these toothpowders and toothpastes with different fragrances and effects, and the packaging boxes must also be exquisite. The matching toothbrushes cannot be the ones commonly seen in wealthy families. The style and comfort must match. Okay, so when you sell one product, you can promote another product.
So she decided to change it based on the original one.
So in the past few days, except during court time, Lu Qing plunged into research and production.
Many people have been added to Longquan Palace one after another, and everyone is busy.
Three days passed in such a leisurely manner.
On the evening of the fourth day, Su Xiang entered the palace.
When he saw an unfamiliar maid coming to guide him, Su Xiang paid a little attention and realized that this was the maid who followed His Majesty outside the palace last time. Later, he heard that it was this little maid who cleverly asked people to go first. The Prime Minister's Mansion called his men to come to the rescue. Thinking of this, Su Xiang's eyes flashed with appreciation.
Looking at the palace maid's pure eyes and good looks, Su Xiang felt even more satisfied.
Only such a maid is worthy of being His Majesty's personal maid. Those before were just a bunch of pickpockets, which was heartbreaking to see.
In the past, His Majesty's right-hand man and his father-in-law came to receive him and others. Today, it seems that this little maid may have caught His Majesty's eye.
Although it was an observation, it was only for a moment.
Soon Su Xiang was led to the study room of Longquan Palace.
"My lord, please wait a moment. Your Majesty will be here shortly." After Yingxue finished speaking, she calmly withdrew.
Su Xiang nodded.
He heard that His Majesty was making some gadgets recently, but he didn’t know what they were?
Although it is not kept secret from the outside world, no one except the people in Longquan Palace knows what it does.
Just as I was thinking about these miscellaneous things, I heard the sound of walking coming from the door.
Su Xiangcai turned around, and the expression on his face turned petrified.
Your Majesty was... robbed! ?
I saw that the person who came was in a mess, his bun was crooked, the hem of his robe was completely wet, and there were some unknown animal hairs on it, and there was something on his face. It was dusty, and his sleeves were even more random. And pulled it up roughly.
He looked like an ordinary farm boy who had just finished his work. He was very down-to-earth, and the sense of distance suddenly disappeared.
"Your Majesty, this is...?" Su Xiang vaguely guessed something.
Lu Qing just finished washing his hands. He wiped them casually on his body before they were dry. Hearing this, he said casually, "Make some gadgets and sit down casually. Why is Su Xiang here today?"
"Your Majesty, this is the list of donations for disaster relief. Please read it." Su Xiang respectfully handed the thick booklet in his hand to the young emperor before slowly sitting down.
Lu Qing raised his eyebrows and accepted, "The registration has been completed in the past few days?"
[This old fox is very efficient! I've heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion is bustling with people these days. It's not easy to do this workload. It's so fast. It seems that people's potential is unlimited. Those who can work hard. Since this old fox is so powerful, I'll arrange more things in the future. My conscience no longer hurts, how beautiful! 】
Lu Qing looked happy when he thought of this.
Which emperor is as relaxed as her? Damn it, it’s not okay at all?
So Lu Qing couldn't help but look at Su Xiang with admiration and respect, who was half a century old and still working hard for Dayu, and thought to himself [Su Xiang, I am lucky to have you! 】
Su Xiang "..."
Why do you suddenly feel that the young emperor above you deserves a beating?
Thinking that besides this matter, he had another matter to hand over to His Majesty when he came this time, he ignored his words.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the veteran minister is definitely too busy for himself. We have invited several ministers from the court to help, so the speed is inevitably faster, especially the ministers, who performed extremely well this time. The old ministers are getting older and can no longer keep up with them." Su Xiang sighed as he spoke, as if he really felt that he was old and useless.
Lu Qing was speechless when he heard the words [It seems that your ages are not very different, right? How can you call yourself old when you are only in your fifties? Fifty-one flowers, stop talking. I think you can still work for another twenty years! 】
Su Xiang:! ! !
[But the old fox is right, you can’t just pull the wool by one person. The six ministers are all capable people. You still have to share it with the old fox on weekdays, lest he give up his job, and it’s me who loses more than he gains! 】
