The first thing I did when I got home was to report to my father, Xu Huizu, seriously. Chairman Zhu's words are not a joke, dad must know.

Xu Qin narrated the entire conversation and even imitated Zhu Di's tone.

Xu Huizu held a book and listened quietly, without any special expression. This made it impossible for Xu Qin to guess any of his intentions.

"I understand what he means, just go ahead and do it." After Xu Huizu finished speaking, he started reading again.

he? Dad still doesn't care about calling him "Your Majesty", but his dissatisfaction is almost written on his face. And what does it mean to just let it go?

More than 400,000 taels, what should I do with it? Being a thief doesn't make you money so quickly.

"Dad, I can't care about any grudges you adults have. Four hundred thousand taels of silver a month, give me all the generals from your hometown, and I will take them to rob them." Xu Qin said angrily.

"Okay, let's go ahead and do it, kid. What else can we lose? What can we gain?" Xu Huizu actually agreed and turned into a philosopher.

"Dad, can you be more trustworthy? If my aunt finds out, she will kill me." Xu Qin was almost anxious to death by his attitude.

Xu Huizu remained indifferent. Xu Miaojin had no intention of killing him, but just wanted to go hunting.

The problem is that he went hunting and took all four of his maids away. It hasn't even started yet, and it ends like this?

"If you dare to escort me out, the four of them will feed the bears." Xu Miaojin rode a rouge horse before leaving, speaking in a condescending tone.

"Hey, aunt, that's not what I meant. Why don't you leave me a warm bed? I'm afraid of sleeping alone at night."

Xu Qin talked for a long time, and the people walked further and further away.

Four hundred thousand taels a month sounds really inspiring, but it’s not as fast as doing MLM. Xu Huizu lay down, Zhu Di was sharpening his knife, and his aunt directly tied up the hostage.

Now it was like a knife was placed on his neck, and he could only hurry up and continue racking his brains.

If you don't have enough brain power, just plagiarize. Think about the golden fingers of the protagonist who traveled through time. How did you earn your first pot of gold?

Pulling his hair for a long time, he finally remembered that there are four treasures in time travel. The investment in soap and refined salt is small, but gunpowder and fire guns are indispensable.

There is definitely money to be made in making soap and refined salt, but those novels are too ridiculous. There is no special secret recipe or process worth keeping secret at all.

To put it bluntly, there is actually no technical content, and the technical barriers are too low. Others cannot steal the technology in one year, but they can steal it in three years.

If you make and sell it yourself, you won't make much money. Daming's market is very average, and the logistics speed is destined to make it difficult to distribute goods. It is a housekeeping business that can make money, but only in a steady stream.

Now I need to get rich overnight and don't have time to manage slowly. Selling soap won’t work, but selling secret recipes should work.

Of course, there are certain things to do when selling secret recipes. You can't stand on the street and beat gongs, as that won't bring you a high price at all. The value of a product lies in where it is placed and the story behind it.

A good story and a good platform can fetch sky-high prices.

One month is too tight, so I have no choice but to do whatever it takes. You guys forced me, so don't blame me for being rude.

Xu Qin was furious because he had never eaten pork but had seen pigs running away.

Think about the marketing methods of later generations. To sell products, you must first tell a good story.

A good story must have a reliable protagonist, and it must be famous. Only this story is attractive and can make people be fooled. No, it can make people pay for their feelings.

Xu Qin decided to pull his grandfather, King Zhongshan, out. My grandfather is not involved in copyright issues, and no one will sue him. The first hero of the founding of the country, he is famous all over the world, and his identity is attractive enough.

"Mr. Xu Da, please don't blame me if you have a spirit in heaven. After all, you have seen the situation now and can only use your reputation." Xu Qin prayed silently in his heart.

It is not enough to have a dead person, you must have a living person to endorse it. This living person must be known to everyone in the world and have absolute authority. There is no one more suitable than the eldest uncle, Zhu Di, the leader of the Ming Dynasty?

But the thought of using this person made him feel a little chilly in his neck. This person was as good at beheading as chopping vegetables. I was pinching my pigtails, and the most important thing was that I didn't have the shame to compete with myself.

But since he is also responsible for this matter, it should be okay to take advantage of it a little without risking beheading. Just lubricate it beforehand and give him a little sweetness so that he can enjoy it willingly.

After having the plan and feasibility, he immediately asked people to start work. The Duke of Wei's government had no shortage of manpower.

The first step is to get the finished product. The people of the Ming Dynasty were simple, and stories alone were not enough. They had to see things first. Soap is not very technical.

For fat, we can only rely on pigs. The alkali does not need to be very pure. Lime, shells, and plant ash can be added together. And a little salt.

Then it is heated and stirred according to the process. The most anxious thing is the air-drying in the later stage.

A village outside the city was selected, and people were gathered to kill pigs and boil oil. Crush the shells and collect the lime. Plant ash is the best, every rural household has to pay for it, and they don’t even have to pay for it.

The food in Duke Wei's mansion became strange and oily. The oil is used to steam buns, the oil is used to make dumplings, the steamed buns are filled with oil, and the flatbread is used to be rolled.

After eating, the servant's mouth was full of oil and his happiness soared. After eating, Duke Wei Guo muttered.

"My family is still in debt, why are we so lavish and lavish on eating this every day? Isn't it good to eat meat? What's the use of all the oil?" Wei Guogong Xu Huizu muttered while holding the alcohol.

That's right, it's alcohol, left over from the last time I treated him. It doesn't taste good but it's very strong, like drinking fire. He tasted it and fell in love.

Dun Dun can't leave.

"Master, I don't know what the young master is doing in the village. The doorkeeper is so murderous that no one is allowed in. He doesn't even give me face to say it's a secret." Xu Fu, an old official, complained aggrievedly.

"Poor kid, it's hard for him to be caught between me and his subordinate. This is him forcing me to express my position." Xu Huizu also said helplessly.

I picked up the bun and was about to eat it when I put it down.

"Xu Fu, can you change it to something else? I've been tired of seeing this bun these past two days." Wei Guogong said.

"Are the dumplings ready? The cabbage oil moistens the fillings." Xu Fu, the old butler, said.

"Forget it, my taste has been light these past two days, let's try something else." Wei Guogong of the Ming Dynasty felt that he suddenly lost his appetite.

It was already half a month after the first batch of soap came out, and the test was delayed for a while. Although Xu Qin knows the raw materials and production process. But after all, it is not the standard raw material and process of industrialization.

It takes craftsmen trial and error to achieve the best results. The soap cannot be used immediately after it comes out, it needs to be air-dried. The soaps and soaps are out.

Xu Qin tried the soap himself and found that it was incomparable with those of later generations, but it was indeed a rarity in this era. The cleaning ability is the same.

After you have the physical object, it’s time to promote it. Later experience told him that advertising is very important.

Let’s post a small advertisement first to warm up the situation. Flyers will be useful in the Internet era of later generations, let alone the simple era of Ming Dynasty.

The basic key is to be sensational and arouse people's interest and topics, so as to gain popularity.

So the first leaflet of the Ming Dynasty was freshly released.

Do you want to know what true face soap jade is?

I remember that when the King of Zhongshan followed the late emperor and determined to drive out the Tartars, he received the formula of this medicine from the gods in his dream. He also said that using this product regularly can keep the body clean and live a long life, and can keep you awake and take advantage of enemies.

The King of Zhongshan relied on this thing to win many battles, and privately called it the number one contributor to victory.

Unfortunately, financial resources were limited at that time and it was impossible to produce in large quantities. For this reason, King Zhongshan worked hard in his later years, searched for ancient prescriptions and finally made improvements.

After improvement, it can be used not only for military use but also for civilian use. Regular use can make the skin smooth and fragrant. Such things that benefit the country and the people can be popularized in this prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty.

The secret recipe of Zhongshan Wang Zhenyan Soap Jade is about to be auctioned. If you are interested, please go to Zhaixinglou to bid in ten days.

There will be samples available for special sale at Zhaixinglou within ten days. You only need ten taels to experience the feeling of fragrance all over your body and be qualified to participate in the auction.

Xu Qin printed more than 20,000 pages of flyers with movable type, and planned to block the city gates, brothels, teahouses, restaurants, and docks and cargo stations. He would distribute them all according to the practice of sweeping buildings in later generations.

"Young Master, is this thing really that useful? We are not lying, right?" Xu Fugui, the youngest son of the great butler Xu Fu, looked at Xu Qin in embarrassment while holding the flyer.

This guy was born in the same family and grew up with Xu Qin. In the past two days, I received orders from the Duke and the chief steward, and became Xu Qin's permanent attendant.

As the saying goes, he is the first bitch, and he has only one purpose: to watch the young master and stop messing around. If there is any nonsense, report it immediately. This is still a two-faced bitch.

The first dog was so suspicious, Xu Qin felt very embarrassed.

"Fugui, no one can believe me, young master, why don't you believe me?" Xu Qin said angrily.

The young master had only just started his business, but he was blocked by a loser in the middle. I felt extremely unhappy.

"Master, it's not that I don't believe you. If the Duke of the country knows that we are messing around, you will be fine. I will be skinned by my father. Are we not liars?"

Xu Fugui looked at Xu Qin seriously and said. Questioning Xu Qin very seriously. If this is a lie, it will bring shame to the entire Yingtian Mansion.

Xu Qin really wanted to slap him to death, but then he thought about it, if he didn't even believe his own bastard, it would be even harder for others to believe him.

"Come on, let each of you take a piece to try. But you are only allowed to wash one hand and half of your face. Fugui, you take the lead."

Xu Qin asked someone to bring out a box of soap and gave each person a piece. Watch them wash in person.

Xu Fugui picked up a piece of soap and smelled it, feeling refreshed. It smells good. At least the young man didn't act too crazy this time.

Fetch a basin of water, as requested by the young father-in-law. Xu Fugui washed one hand and half of his face. The lubricating and fragrant soap spreads over your hands and face.

This made him a little intoxicated, and he suddenly thought of Mianyuelou's sweetheart, Lu Yao, and how her skin was so smooth, so fragrant and tender.

This feeling is really intoxicating. If nothing else, the taste and feeling are not ordinary. Did the old prince really leave this behind?
