Upon seeing this, Li Shimin asked curiously:
"Why are you looking at Qin Ming like this?"
After hearing this, the eldest grandson walked to Li Shimin and whispered a few words to Li Shimin in a low voice.
Princess Danyang has a rather impatient temper. She just used soap on her hands and found that her hands were much smoother than before, and they also exuded a faint floral fragrance.
She couldn't wait to walk to Qin Ming and said:
"Qin... Mr. Qin, do you still have this soap somewhere? Can you sell some to this princess?"
Hearing this, the other women also looked at Qin Ming, and even Yuechan showed expectant eyes.
Qin Ming looked at everyone's expressions and smiled:
"When I come to Chang'an this time, this soap is originally a gift for your family. Uncle Li and the prince each have a box, each box contains 100 yuan. They are all in the hall downstairs. When you leave later, You can bring it with you.”
Li Shimin already knew the benefits of soap from his eldest grandson.
He touched Changsun's hand without leaving any trace, and then his eyes lit up.
I thought that if I took this soap back and gave it to the concubines in the harem, they would be very happy.
After Li Xiaogong learned about the benefits of soap from his daughter, he couldn't wait to go downstairs and take the soap back to his princess.
The eldest grandson is considered to be the calmer one among the others at the moment.
She withdrew her hand without leaving a trace, thinking that this soap was so easy to use, and according to Qin Ming's wishes, he could make a lot of it, so she looked at Qin Ming and said with a smile:
"Good nephew, aunt thinks this soap is very useful. How about aunt providing some money and setting up a workshop together?"
Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up when they heard this. They now knew Qin Ming's ability to make money. After hearing what the eldest grandson said, they naturally wanted to get another piece of the pie. So Li Shimin said:
"Yes, my dear nephew, do you think we can do it together?"
Li Xiaogong also patted his chest and said:
"That's right, my dear nephew, don't worry, as long as my uncle is here, no one will dare to take any chances on us."
After hearing this, Qin Ming thought about it and said:
"Auntie, Uncle Li, the prince, and my nephew certainly know that if you sell this soap, you can make money. But I'm afraid now is not the time."
Li Shimin was curious when he heard this:
"Why?"
Qin Ming sighed when he heard this, and then probably told a few people that Zhuangzi's wealthy family had recently sent someone to inquire about greenhouse planting.
It also explains that it is difficult to keep secrets in the production of soap now, and it is easy for other companies to obtain the production method. We need to wait for some time to think about it and take confidentiality measures before we can start work.
Li Shimin and others were very angry when they heard this. In recent years, he had been very dissatisfied with the wealthy family and their control of the court.
When he heard Qin Ming's words, he made another note in the small account book for the wealthy family.
Queen Changsun kept frowning. What Qin Ming said made her feel a little guilty. Yes, when she saw the soap, she only thought about making money.
But I have never considered whether Qin Ming would be coveted by others because of these properties and wealth, whether he would be in danger, or be targeted by others.
After all, he is just a young man, and it is already amazing to be able to do what he is now.
So, she thought for a while and asked:
"My dear nephew, your house has enough guards. Do you need aunt to send some servants over to protect Zhuangzi and your house?"
When Qin Ming heard this, he thought to himself, if you send someone to Zhuangzi, then what secrets do I have? Wouldn’t my home become the royal back garden?
That designation cannot be agreed to.
But Qin Ming was still very grateful to Queen Changsun for being able to consider his safety immediately.
He looked at his eldest grandson gratefully and said:
"Auntie, don't worry. My nephew has recruited some guards these days and has sent extra manpower to the house. Everything will be fine. Besides, I'm going to visit Uncle Cheng this afternoon. They are all generals leading troops. My nephew plans to pass They found some retired veterans to protect Zhuangzi's safety."
The eldest grandson nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong.
The two understood that they knew the importance of this matter, not only because the brewery was related to their own interests, but more importantly, it was also related to the lives and safety of millions of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, it cannot be known by other families, so Li Xiaogong said:
"Good nephew, there are some followers in my uncle's village. They all went to the battlefield with my uncle in the past. The business of the winery belongs to our family. We must not allow other people to spy on us. Don't worry, uncle will arrange for the followers to go to the village tomorrow. help you."
Li Shimin also followed:
"Don't worry, my dear nephew, my uncle's village also has suitable retinues, and they will be sent to your village tomorrow."
Seeing this, Qin Ming couldn't refuse anymore, so he could only nod and agree.
It seems that in the future, they can just let their people guard the workshop, and their own guards can guard the village.
Later, Empress Changsun thought that instead of letting Qin Ming go door to door in the afternoon to visit Cheng Yaojin and his friends, it would be better to call them to the teahouse and talk about it together.
So, she suggested calling them to the teahouse to discuss it together.
Several people agreed with this suggestion, so they arranged for someone to deliver the message.
After the messenger left, Qin Ming looked at the time and saw that it was almost noon.
Qin Ming asked Xiao Qingwan to prepare meals.
Just as Qingwan was going out, Yang Zijun and Mou Tu hurried to the private room.
Both she and Mou Tu looked a little ugly. Seeing this scene, Qin Ming probably guessed the reason, so he asked:
"Zijun, you look so ugly. Is there something wrong with the accounts?"
Mou Tu was impatient, and before Yang Zijun could reply, she said:
"Sir, the lady checked the accounts just now and found that there was a hundred kilograms of tea missing in the tea house's warehouse, and the wages were not right."
When Qin Ming heard this, he looked at Yang Zijun and said:
"Have you carefully checked the goods?"
Yang Zijun nodded seriously and said:
"Mou Tu and I checked it twice carefully, and it is indeed a hundred pounds missing. And you see, sir, there is also a problem with the wages."
After speaking, Yang Zijun handed the basic account books to Qin Ming, and then showed Qin Ming the problematic areas one by one.
At this time, Li Shimin and others in the room all turned their attention to the accounting steward he had brought.
The eunuch in charge of the internal funds quickly stood up, knelt down in front of Li Shimin and the eldest grandson, and said loudly:
"Master, you know Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao is proficient in arithmetic. After so many years, he has never made any mistakes.
I dare to guarantee with my life that there is absolutely no problem with the accounts. This young lady must have made a mistake in her calculations. "
The accountant of Hejian County Prince's Mansion also knelt down and assured loudly that he had checked carefully and it was not wrong. The young lady must have made a mistake.
Li Shimin and others nodded after hearing this. The eldest grandson knew that the eunuch in charge of the money was better at arithmetic than many of the arithmetic doctors at the Imperial College.
This is why Zhangsun felt relieved to bring him here.
At this time, they all thought that Yang Zijun had made a mistake.
After all, she seemed to be a little older than Changle, so she probably wasn't very proficient in arithmetic.
Just when she was thinking about whether to transfer a few medical doctors from the Imperial College to help Qin Ming sort out the accounts of the house.
