Naturally, the things given to the royal family cannot be simple and crude. It must be elegant, it must be noble, it must be different.
When he was going to use Zhu Di, the Ming Emperor, as propaganda, he had already started preparations.
He specially made a batch of embossed soap, each piece has a different scent, and each piece is embossed with a poem or allusion.
For this batch of soap, he hired all the carpenters in the family, just to carve the molds. The craftsmen of Ming Dynasty really have the spirit of craftsmanship, and they can work with confidence.
Zhu Di had been dealing with government affairs for a day. When he returned to the harem, he knew that the princess had arrived during the day and brought a lot of 'True Face Soap Jade'. He picked up one and smelled it.
"The fancy stuff smells pretty good. Now that I know how to give gifts, what have I done long ago? Are the roots of my ears so soft? Can they be blown over by the wind from the pillow? I can give him half a month at most! No, this is not the case. The things originally belonged to my family.”
Zhu Di, the big devil, happily accepted the gift and then rewarded the harem in his name, but he had no intention of letting Xu Qin go.
Xu Qin didn't even think about flattering him. Zhu Di obviously misunderstood. This is not a flattery at all but a trap. Zhu Di's appreciation of the harem was exactly what he wanted.
Coupled with Xu Miaojin's assist, all the familiar nobles received a weakened version of "True Face Soap Jade", and no one dared to use the same thing as the royal family.
For a time, from the concubines in the palace and even His Majesty the Emperor himself to the top nobles and women in the capital, a sacred object called "True Face Soap Jade" was popular.
The Royal Palace ones are more advanced, not only scented but also embossed. His Majesty the Emperor used it to reward ministers, which became a sign of whether he was the emperor's favorite.
It is said that Xie Jin won a piece and showed off to his colleagues for several days. For a time, this thing became popular in Yingtian Mansion. People everywhere are asking, where can I buy this thing?
However, Xu Miaojin and Xu Qin are selective in what they do. They are all people who are familiar with Wei Guogong. There was no contact with the group of people who contributed to the Jingnan crisis.
In addition, the production of Zhenyan soap jade is really limited.
So on the one hand, the hero of Jingnan couldn't buy soap, but the female family members were making a lot of noise in the house. Ming Dynasty also had a circle of ladies. When we meet for a tea party or something, the wife talks about her "true face and beautiful face".
They all smelled delicious, but they could only watch. They couldn't afford to lose face like this. He didn't even dare to go out to attend the lady's banquet.
Naturally, you have to tell your man about such a shameful thing. Madam lives only for the man's face. Not only the lady is making trouble, but also the concubine is making trouble.
Many people who were originally from Wei Guogong's lineage began to become active again because of the relationship with soap, and they also had more private contacts. Zhongshan King's genetic secret recipe 'True Face Soap Jade' is becoming more and more popular.
At this time Xu Qin lit the last fire. He printed another leaflet. There is only one sentence on the flyer.
'True Face Soap Jade' has been approved by His Majesty after using it.
This sentence was so shocking that the people immediately believed it. After all, anyone who dares to make trouble with the emperor these days is not joking.
If not, the nine tribes will be killed. If you dare to say this, it must be because the emperor really thinks it is good, not to mention that the old Zhu family has a very good reputation in the Ming Dynasty.
This fire made 'Zhen Yan Zao Yu' famous all over the world.
All of a sudden, the wealthy businessmen started to take action, and the dignitaries also secretly paid attention, and some started to take action directly.
Even if they don't want to move, their wives and daughters force them to do so. So the first wave of experience came very quickly, and fortunately the Star Reaching Tower was well prepared.
After Xu Qin determined that the main consumers of soap were women, he set up a separate floor in Zhaixing Building. Specially for entertaining women.
Women are crazy about spending, and a ten-tael ticket can't stop their enthusiasm at all. Comparatively speaking, these ladies are no worse than those of later generations.
He sighed in his heart, as expected, women are still like that, no matter what dynasty they are in.
Of course, the trial version placed in the Star Reaching Building is more user-friendly. But the production is more sophisticated, the embossing introduces the cartoon version of cute animals from later generations, the other side is full of auspicious words, and the taste is more fragrant.
The main reason is that the skills of the craftsmen have become more sophisticated during this period, and the quality is much better than the first batch of rush work.
During the five days, the entire Star Reaching Tower was filled with fragrance, and there was an endless flow of people. At one point, they were even surrounded by ladies from various families. Xu Qin didn't expect that a soap could cause such a big sensation.
He charged 10,000 taels for the ticket price alone, which means that a thousand people came to experience it in the past five days. This was unimaginable in the Ming Dynasty.
I didn’t expect the royal family’s appeal to be so strong.
Of course, this number is far inferior to that of shopping malls in later generations. But it was much better than he expected. He thought it would only be three to five thousand taels. It seems that the consumption power of the Ming Dynasty was underestimated.
Xu Qin is carrying out vigorous publicity and preparing for the auction. Zhu Di held the leaflet sent by Ji Gang in his hand, his teeth clenched and his beard trembled.
"How dare you use my name to sell money? Does he want to die or live?" Zhu Di asked Ji Gang, who lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhu Di was so filled with hatred that he had never heard of it in eternity. How will the history books write about me? An emperor who is bored with things?
Thinking of this, Zhu Di smashed the soap in his hand. He really had murderous intentions in his heart. Reputation is hard to come by and easy to ruin.
Ji Gang didn't make a sound but the calculation in his heart was very loud. He knew this master so well that he could tell with just one movement that he had murderous intent.
It seems that Xu Qin will definitely die this time. Do you want to tell Duke Dingguo about this news? It's probably worth a lot of money. Sell well first and move around later.
The commander of the Jin Yiwei looks like a good person, but in fact he is His Majesty's lackey. When you are a dog, you should think of the consequences of being a running dog. So have some friends.
Ji Gang was thinking in his mind.
"Monitor closely to see if he has any other treacherous moves." Zhu Di said in a cold voice, like a blade on his neck.
Ji Gang quickly bowed and his blood flowed with the emperor's anger. Xu Qin is dead this time, and the Duke of Wei's government has finished its troubles.
When His Majesty said the word "treason", the dog of his own would naturally lean on it. Even if there is no rebellion, let him plot rebellion.
Thinking of the major Jinyiwei cases during the Hongwu period, the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case, which often involved tens of thousands of people, Ji Gang always yearned for them.
The Duke of Wei's government was also intricately involved. Maybe Jin Yiwei can create another 'Wei Guogong' case.
Only then can Jin Yiwei really scare people, and that's when he will be at his peak.
With this in mind, Ji Gang walked out of Wuying Palace happily. He was gearing up for a big fight. But first he went to Dingguo Duke's Mansion.
In this kind of thing, you can't do it alone, so it's best to have someone to help you. Those who contributed to the peace must like this bloody bait.
In Ji Gang's mind, he weaved a big web to destroy the Duke of Wei.
If there is news in this world, Xu Qin definitely dominates the headlines. Whether it's composing poems in a brothel or using leaflets that His Majesty has agreed upon. All of them have pushed "Zhenyanzaoyu" to the pinnacle of public opinion.
There are even second-hand scalpers, and many people get 'True Face Soap Jade' from various channels and sell it at a higher price. Because of the production volume, these soaps can actually be doubled.
"This thing is actually real. It seems that my grandfather really left the formula. Is it really a shame for the family?" Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo, was a little unwilling to hold the soap.
He thought that Xu Qin was cheating and said on many occasions that he was cheating and there was no way he could have such a thing.
Thinking about the faces of those people, I'm afraid they have already used them, just waiting to make a fool of themselves. Damn it.
Today, Duke Ding's family dinner was held. Duke Qiu Fu of Qi, Marquis Zhang Wu of Wuyang, Marquis Meng Shan of Baoding, and Marquis Guo Liang of Wu'an were all present. After three drinks, Duke Ding was a little unhappy.
"Dingguo Gong, don't be angry, as long as you use him a little, you will dig your own grave." Wu'an Marquis Guo Liang said.
"Brother Guo, please tell me if you have any clever ideas." Xu Jingchang, Duke of Dingguo, said. In terms of wit, Guo Liang is the best among them.
"Since you can't kill the horse with one move, then take your time. We will take this opportunity to spread the word. He will not be able to escape the two labels of being unfilial and prodigal. Let him stink first!" Guo Liang said proudly! .
Xu Jingchang understood, this was murder with a soft knife. The effect is the same. Let his reputation be discredited first and stop the thought of those who are still loyal to the Duke of Wei.
When a person has a bad reputation and everyone wants him to die, then he is not far away from death.
"Reporting to the Duke, the commander of the Jinyi Guards is asking for an audience with you." A servant came over to report.
Duke Dingguo was stunned. What was the purpose of His Majesty's loyal dog coming here? He quickly changed his clothes and invited Ji Gang to meet him in the living room.
When Ji Gang met Duke Dingguo, he just showed him a leaflet.
"How courageous, is this what that little beast did?" Xu Jingchang couldn't help but feel elated when he saw the sentence on the flyer, but he still pretended to be angry on the surface.
"His Majesty was also very angry and asked the Jinyi Guards to strengthen surveillance." Ji Gang said softly.
"Is this the emperor's order for the commander to come here?" Duke Ding asked tentatively.
"No, I just admire King Zhongshan, and I specifically told Duke Ding to draw a clear line with such people." Ji Gang said pretending to be sad.
Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo, understood instantly that if you are sleepy, you will be given a pillow, and if you kill, you will be given a knife.
"Commander is here at Pengpi Shenghui. If you don't see the outside world, can you have a drink?" Xu Jingchang directly approached him.
The trend soon changed, with the guidance of thoughtful people. Young Master Xu Qin became an unfilial person and even wanted to sell his grandfather's formula, which was a great act of unfilial piety to the King of Zhongshan.
What's more, he is a prodigal. Instead of keeping such a good thing for himself, he wants to sell it.
Some even said that if this were my son, he would be drowned in a bucket of urine right after he was born.
For a time, the young man's reputation was ruined.
Xu Qin didn't care at all, reputation was never important to him. He is busy organizing the auction.
The trial period is almost over, and all the fish that should be hooked have been hooked.
At this time, the officials of Duke Qi came to visit.
"Little Duke, the representatives of the Duke of Qi's office, the Marquis Wuyang, the Marquis Baoding, and the Marquis Wu'an, would like to discuss with you." The official was polite this time, completely opposite to last time.
"I will repay the debt when I sell the formula. There is no need to rush it. Your Majesty has given me a month, can't you wait?" Xu Qin said angrily.
The events of that day are vivid in my mind.
"No, little Duke, don't get me wrong. They want to exchange all their debts for your formula. What do you think?"
Duke Qi's steward asked with a smile.
"It's a beautiful idea, you can get out." Xu Qin said angrily.
"Little Duke, listen to me and get out of here after I say it." Duke Qi's housekeeper was not angry, but continued.
"Say, get out of here." Xu Qin also wanted to hear what he had to say.
"Little Duke, you may not be able to sell it for this price at the auction, which is more than 400,000 yuan. Besides, if our nobles join forces, do you think anyone would dare to raise the price at the auction?"
Duke Qi's steward showed a determined smile.
