Maxing Street, the most prosperous street in Bianjing, is located in the old Fengqiu Gate. It starts from Panlou Street Tushizi in the south and reaches the new Fengqiu Gate in the outer city in the north. It is about 15 kilometers long.

At one end of this street is the famous Daxiangguo Temple. There is a wide square at the entrance of the temple with many vendors.

The Song Dynasty began to break the shackles of the city walls that had existed since the Han and Tang Dynasties. Shops began to open on the street, and there was no curfew at night. These measures made the commercial prosperity of the Song Dynasty unprecedented in ancient China, and the lives of citizens were colorful.

On this day, in front of an inconspicuous shop on Ma Xing Street, it was crowded with stewards, disciples and wealthy businessmen of the Xungui family. Just yesterday, the Dongchang Hou Mansion released news.

Starting from today, the soap will be sold in this shop. The price is 10 yuan a piece, and it is only 500 yuan a day. One person can only buy two pieces at most. This is while supplies last, first come first served.

So early in the morning, the door of the shop was crowded with people. They were queuing up, but they also paid attention to status. Those in the front were from distinguished families, and those behind were merchants.

It is naturally impossible for the ordinary people who are watching to spend ten dollars to buy a piece of soap with no known purpose. It is just for fun.

Normally, those high-ranking nobles, stewards, servants, and wealthy businessmen are waiting obediently at the door. Such a scene cannot be seen even in Fanlou.

"Tsk tsk, is that the steward of Prince Yong's Mansion in front of you? He's also waiting in line obediently."

"You see, the steward of Prince Yan's Mansion has also arrived. He actually walked directly to the front. He is really domineering!"

"The British government officials have also arrived, it's quite lively now..."

While the onlookers were watching the excitement with great interest, suddenly the door panel of the shop was removed, and the queue of people poured in.

"Shopkeeper, I came first, sell to me first!"

"Shopkeeper, I am the manager of Prince Yan's Mansion, please sell me a few more yuan."

Soon there was a commotion in the shop. The shopkeeper had seen a lot of things in the world, but today was the first time he had seen this, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Recalling the instructions given by the young Marquis last night, the shopkeeper first bowed to everyone.

"Everyone is a distinguished family in Bianjing City. Unless you are unwilling to sell more, this soap is not easy to make and the output is too small. It is only sold for 500 yuan a day. If someone buys more, the rest will be less.

It would be unfair to buy it, so I hope you can bear with me."

The merchants at the back of the queue would be happy to hear this, otherwise all the nobles in front would have finished buying, and it would not be their turn at all.

Other nobles also know that if others are allowed to buy more, the top nobles will benefit in the end, and if they fail to complete the task, they will definitely be punished by their masters when they return. This is a rule that is beneficial to them, so they naturally agree.

Honors and nobility also have their own rules. Under normal circumstances, no one will offend the public. Seeing that most people support it, I have to give up.

Only Prince Yan was in charge, staring at the shopkeeper with an unkind look on his face.

The shopkeeper ignored him. The young Marquis gave the order last night. If there was any problem, he would take care of it. All he had to do was stick to his principles.

The transaction was officially carried out, and almost all transactions were in silver taels. After all, ten copper coins are very heavy. It weighs forty kilograms in total. It cannot be carried, so it can only be carried on a piggyback. In full view of the public, no one can afford to lose that person.

.

Not long after, ingot after ingot of silver was sent to the backyard. Mrs. Qin Liu smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. It was not that she had never seen money before. On the contrary, compared with the silver that had flowed out of the Dongchang Hou Mansion in recent years, it was much more than this.

.

But that was spending money. This was the first time she experienced the experience of making so much money at once.

"Brother Hao is indeed right. This soap has to be sold in this way to be called that? Oh, by the way, maximize profits!"

In less than half an hour, all five hundred bars of soap were sold out, and Mrs. Qin Liu indeed ordered the store to close.

Most of the nobles have bought it, but the remaining merchants are unwilling to leave. For them, soap is like a luxury product for future generations. What they want is not the soap itself, but the psychological recognition that soap brings.

After Qin Hao's hungry marketing these days, soap has become a status symbol. Only noble families have the opportunity to use it, and they have to be the top nobles in Bianjing City. Ordinary small nobles can't even meet them.

arrive.

"Shopkeeper, tell your boss, if you sell more, I'll pay double the price!"

"What's the big deal about double? I'll pay three times! Thirty strings!"

Mrs. Qin Liu, who was behind, couldn't help but feel excited after hearing this, but she still held back and couldn't break the rules set by her son.

The shopkeeper was not so polite to these merchants and walked away directly. Then he asked the clerk to drive them out, close the door and close the business.

Five thousand taels of silver just lay quietly in the box. Qin Liu suppressed her inner excitement and ordered people to load the car and transport it home. With this amount of income alone, it won't take long for Dongchang Hou Mansion's foreign debt to be reduced.

I can pay it off.

The shopkeeper also came to congratulate: "Madam, this young master's ability to turn stone into gold is something I have only seen in my life. It is really amazing!"

Mrs. Qin Liu couldn't help but remember that at the beginning, she just wanted to throw the soap in the shop and sell it. That was definitely a waste of natural resources and selling the gold as chaff.

"You know this and I know it. Don't let it spread. Brother Hao will take the imperial examination and become an official in the future. Don't get involved in such a lowly career."

When it comes to her son's future, Mrs. Qin Liu has a clear mind.

"Don't worry, little old man, don't dare to talk nonsense." The shopkeeper quickly bowed.

For half a month, all the 500 bars of soap were snatched up in less than an hour. The number of people who originally watched the excitement changed several times. After all, it would not be surprising if they could see it every day.

.

The same is true for soap. A piece of soap can be used for at least two months. And after this thing can be bought with money, it is not so rare. People gradually use it as a daily necessities, that is, consumables.

Luxury.

On the contrary, those merchants flocked to it. In addition to their own use, they also brought this thing into the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion. A piece of soap could often help them get the Qinghuan they wanted, which also further destroyed the mystery of the soap.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qin Hao knew that the days of just lying around and making money would be gone forever, so he said to Qin Liu.

"Starting from next month, soaps will be available for purchase, and you can get a 20% discount for orders over ten yuan."

Mrs. Qin Liu was still a little reluctant: "This will cost a lot of money."

Qin Hao shook his head and explained: "Although it is a 20% discount, the sales have increased and we have made more money. And don't forget, we are only doing business in Bianjing City now. There are so many state capitals in the Song Dynasty, there must be someone

Sell ​​the soap, and the two jars of money in the middle are the profits for those merchants."

Of course, those merchants who sell to places other than Bianjing will definitely not sell them at the original price. It may be twenty guan, or it may be 30 guan. As long as they can sell it, it is none of Qin Hao's business. What he earns

It’s money for mass production.

This situation will not last long. When the market becomes saturated, price cuts will become inevitable. After all, everyone is not stupid. It is somewhat inappropriate to sell something with such a high output at such a high price.

However, according to the logistics speed of the Song Dynasty, the market saturation would have to wait at least one or two years, at which time Qin Hao would launch cheaper products such as soap.

After listening to Qin Hao's analysis, Mrs. Qin Liu suddenly patted her chest: "Fortunately, Brother Hao, please give me some advice, otherwise my mother would definitely be confused."

Next, the Qin Liu family was busy building workshops and increasing production capacity. They were often so busy that they disappeared for several days. However, Qin Junye still went to the Chengmen Division every day to have sex, and then listened to music with a bunch of dudes.

The life was very lively.

Qin Hao has not neglected his studies. He has benefited a lot from the collection of books in the Sheng family and has made progress in his policy analysis. Before, his policy analysis was mainly based on the overall situation and a unique perspective. Now, even if he puts aside the perspective of modern people,

You can also write in an even and steady manner. In Zhuang Xuexue's words, if the scientific examination only tests policy theory as a subject, Qin Hao will most likely be on the list if he takes the exam now.

During this period, Qi Heng and Sheng Changbai often came to Qin Hao to ask questions. Qin Hao did not hide his secrets. His teaching methods were completely different from Zhuang Xuexue.

Zhuang Xuexue is a guidance method. He will not break down the truth and explain it to you. He often lets you think for yourself. When you are scratching your head and encountering a bottleneck, he will give you some hints. This teaching method can be very effective.

Good developers have the thinking ability, but they value talent very much, and the results are slow.

Qin Hao's strength lies in summarizing and summarizing, sorting out the entire context of a matter and presenting it in front of the two of them. Qin Hao's teachings always make Qi Heng and Sheng Chang Bo Mao suddenly enlightened.

Although both of them are older than Qin Hao, they unconsciously treat him as a peer or even an elder brother.

When it comes to learning, those who have mastered it come first.

Zhuang Xuexue had no objection to this. On the contrary, he felt that Qin Hao saved him a lot of effort. The main reason why he came to teach in the Sheng family was because he owed the Sheng family a favor. At his age, when Qin Hao and his group of students

After passing the imperial examination, he returned the favor and returned to his hometown to retire.

In June, when the hot summer entered, Qin Hao received a letter from Gu Tingye. During the past period, the two of them exchanged letters almost every month, but this time Gu Tingye's letter aroused Qin Hao's vigilance.

In the letter, Gu Tingye casually mentioned that he had met a woman named Zhu Manniang in Jiangzhou, and she had been taken into his house.

Qin Hao couldn't sit still. This Zhu Manniang was undoubtedly the culprit of Gu Tingye's misery in the first half of his life. He was burdened with the infamy of being an angry father and had to travel far away. In the end, he was lucky enough to save Zhao Zongquan and his son before he could re-inherit the title of Ningyuan Marquis.

He picked up the pen to write a letter, but as soon as he wrote the beginning, Qin Hao crumpled the letter paper into a ball.

[Ding, the mission has been updated, expose Zhu Manniang’s evil heart, reward luck value: 100 points. ]

"No, prepare the carriage, I want to go out!"

"Yes, Young Master." Buqi bowed and went out. Over the years, he had also understood Qin Hao's temper. He just had to follow the Young Master's instructions and there was no need to worry about the rest.

In Sheng Mansion, Sheng Changbai was a little surprised by Qin Hao's late night visit, especially when he heard that he would take a break from school and go to Jiangzhou.

"Zihan, why is this happening? The year after next will be spring, so it's not a good time to travel far!"

Qin Hao knew that Sheng Changbai was trustworthy, so he told Gu Tingye about taking Zhu Manniang's house in Jiangzhou.

Sheng Changbai also knew the power of it, and he said with a bit of hatred that iron cannot become steel: "This Zhong Huai, at such an old age, how can he still act so unscrupulously!"

"Maybe that woman has good skills, so I have to go there this time!" Qin Hao said, bowing his hand to Sheng Changbai, and then went to Zhuang Xuexue to ask for leave.

Zhuang Xuexue frowned and sighed suddenly: "I know you have always been the most opinionated, but you have to think carefully. This trip to Jiangzhou will take at least two months, and it will inevitably delay your studies. In less than two years,

It’s time to try it out.”

Qin Hao bowed slightly: "The student has been thinking about it for a long time and has no choice but to come here to say goodbye."

"Hey, go ahead, go back quickly, don't delay your studies." Zhuang Xuexuan sighed and waved his hand.

Zhuang Xuexue was done here. When he returned home, Qin Liu was unhappy when she heard Qin Hao said that he was going to Jiangzhou. She knew how important this time period was for the scientific examination.
