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 city walls that had existed since the Han and Tang Dynasties. Shops began to open on the streets, and there was no curfew at night. These measures made the commercial prosperity of the Song Dynasty unprecedented in ancient China, and the citizens' lives were colorful. 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, 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, while supplies last, first come, first served.
So early in the morning, the door of the shop was crowded with people. They said they were lining up, but they also paid attention to status. Those in the front were from noble families, and those behind were merchants.
For the ordinary people who were watching, it was naturally impossible to spend ten dollars to buy a piece of soap with no known purpose. It was just for fun.
On weekdays, those high-ranking officials, servants, and wealthy businessmen are waiting at the door obediently. Such a scene cannot be seen even in Fanlou.
“Tsk, is that the steward of Prince Yong’s Mansion in front of you? He is also waiting in line obediently.”
“You see, the steward of Prince Yan’s Mansion has also arrived, and he actually walked directly to We’re in front, you’re really domineering.”
“The British officials have also arrived, and it’s really lively now.”
While the onlookers were watching the excitement with relish, suddenly, The door panel of the store was removed, and the queue of people poured in.
"Shopkeeper, I came here first, sell it to me first"
"Shopkeeper, I am in charge of Prince Yan's Mansion, sell me a few more yuan."
< p> 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 well-known 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 there are more people, If you buy it, the others will buy less, which is unfair. I hope you can bear with me."
The merchants at the back will be happy to hear this, otherwise all the nobles in front will buy it. It's over, it won't 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, which is beneficial to them. Rules, of course, are in favor.
Honorable nobles 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 the person in charge of Prince Yan's Mansion stared 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 a 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 everyone, No one can afford to lose that person.
Not long after, ingots of silver were 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 money that had flowed out of Dongchang Hou Mansion in recent years, The money is 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 like this to be called that, by the way, to maximize profits."
In less than half an hour, Five hundred bars of soap were sold out, and Qin Liu ordered the store to close as expected.
Basically all the nobles have bought it, but the remaining merchants are unwilling to leave. For them, soap is like a luxury product for later generations. What they want is not the soap itself, but the soap. bring psychological recognition.
After Qin Hao’s hunger marketing these days, soap has become a status symbol. Only noble families have the opportunity to use it, and they must be the top nobles in Bianjing City. The minor nobles could not even see him.
"Shopkeeper, tell your boss, if you sell more, I will pay double the price."
"What's the big deal about double, I'll pay three times the price and thirty guan" "
Qin Liu, who was behind, couldn't help but feel moved 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. He walked away directly and asked the clerk to drive them out, close the door and close the business.
The five thousand taels of silver were lying 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 money, it would not take long for Dongchang to return home. The foreign debts of the Hou Mansion will be paid off soon.
The shopkeeper also came to congratulate, "Madam, the master's ability to turn stone into gold is something I have only seen in my life. It is really amazing."
Qin Liu couldn't help but I remembered that at first I just wanted to throw the soap in the shop and sell it. It was definitely a waste of money and selling 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, and the number of people who originally watched the excitement changed several times. After all, if you can watch the excitement every day, It's not surprising to see it.
For soap, the same is true. A piece of fragranceSoap can be used for at least two months, and after it can be purchased with money, it is no longer so rare. People in the honorable family gradually use it as a daily necessities, that is, consumable luxuries.
On the other hand, those merchants flocked to it. In addition to their own use, they also brought this thing into the Qinlou Chu Pavilion. A piece of soap could often get them the Qinghuan they wanted, which also made the soap mysterious. further destroyed.
Qin Hao knew that the days of lying down and making money would be gone forever, so he said to Qin Liu.
"Starting from next month, soap can be openly supplied, and you can get a 20% discount for more than ten yuan."
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. There were so many prefectures in the Song Dynasty, and someone had to sell the soap, and the two pots of money in the middle were the profits for those merchants. "
Of course, those merchants would definitely not sell it to places other than Bianjing. They honestly sell it at the original price, which may be twenty guan or thirty guan. As long as they can sell it, it's none of Qin Hao's business. What he earns is the money from 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 unfair that something with such a high output can be sold so expensively. suitable.
However, according to the logistics speed of the Song Dynasty, the market would have to wait at least one or two years before the market was saturated, by which time Qin Hao would launch cheaper products like 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 have committed a crime.”
< p>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 order a meal, and then listened to a bunch of dudes. Qu, life is so cool.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. Before, his policy was mainly based on the overall situation and unique perspective. Now even though Even if you put aside the perspective of modern people, you can still write it smoothly. 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 about it for yourself. When you are scratching your head and encountering a bottleneck, he will give you some hints. , this teaching method can develop people's thinking ability very well, but it places great emphasis on talent and is slow to produce results.
Qin Hao’s strength lies in summarizing and sorting out the entire context of a matter and presenting it in front of the two of them. Qin Hao’s teachings often make Qi Heng and Sheng confused.The long cypress tree suddenly bloomed.
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 knowledge, 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 reason why he came to teach in the Sheng family was mainly because he owed the Sheng family a favor. At his age, After Qin Hao and his group of students passed 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 was unexpected. Qin Hao was alerted.
In the letter, Gu Tingye casually mentioned that he met a woman named Zhu Manniang in Jiangzhou, and he had already taken her into his room.
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 angering his father to death and had to travel far away. In the end, he was lucky enough to save Zhao Zongquan and his son. Re-inherited the title of Marquis Ningyuan.
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 to expose Zhu Manniang’s evil heart and reward her with 100 luck points.
"Buqi, prepare the carriage, I want to go out."
"Yes, young master." Buqi bowed and went out. Over the years, he also understood Qin Hao's behavior. As for your temper, you just need to follow the master's instructions, and you don't 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.
"Zi Han, why is it that the year after tomorrow will be spring, and it is not appropriate to travel far at this time?"
Qin Hao knew that Sheng Changbai was trustworthy, so he sent Gu Tingye to Jiangzhou. Zhu Manniang told her about taking over the house.
Sheng Changbai also knew how powerful it was, and he somewhat hated the fact that iron cannot become steel and said, "This Zhonghuai, at such an old age, how can he still act so unscrupulously?"
"Maybe it's 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.
Xuetu Zhuang 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. I will take the test in less than two years."
Qin Hao bowed slightly and said, "The student has been thinking about it for a long time, so I have to say goodbye."
"Oh, Go, go, go back quickly, don't delay your studies." Zhuang Xuexue sighed and waved his hand.
Zhuang Xuexue was settled here. When she returned home, Qin Liu was unhappy when she heard Qin Hao said that she was going to Jiangzhou. She knew how important this time period was for the scientific examination.
Qin Hao said seriously, "Mother, the child is no longer a naughty child. There is indeed a reason why he has to do it this time., it is not convenient to talk to my mother in detail, and I will apologize to my mother when I get back. ”
Qin Liu looked at her son’s resolute face and recalled that during the recent period, Qin Hao’s many arrangements in soap were indeed not something that a child could think of.
"That's all, I'll ask your father to assign you some guards. Please pay attention to safety on the way and come back as soon as possible, you know?" Qin Liu sighed.
"Thank you, mother." Qin Hao bowed. Then he got on the carriage and headed to the dock overnight.
At this time, there was a merchant ship waiting on the dock. There was a batch of soap in the merchant ship that was going to Jiangzhou for sale. Qin Hao happened to be aboard, and the merchant who chartered the ship learned about Qin Hao. Hao's identity was naturally too late to flatter him, so he gave the best cabin to Qin Hao.
As a result, Qin Hao noticed a figure following him sneakily as soon as he got on the boat. After taking a closer look, he found that it was Qingmei. .
In the cabin, Qin Hao glared at Qingmei, "You are getting bolder and bolder now. "
Qingmei lowered her head in grievance and explained in a low voice, "Yes, Madam asked Qingmei to take care of the young master. "
On hearing that it was the Qin Liu family's arrangement, Qin Hao realized that he had wrongly blamed Qingmei. He said helplessly, "You are weak and the journey has been tiring. I don't know whether you are taking care of me or I am taking care of you. "
Qingmei raised her head in surprise, her big watery eyes full of smiles, "Master, if you don't drive me back, please go back."
Qin Hao tapped her head lightly. "If I let you go back now, won't mother blame you?"
Qingmei said with a smile, "Sir, Qingmei is not weak anymore and can take care of you. "
In the evening, during the hot summer, Qin Hao jumped directly into the river and took a cold bath. After climbing back on the boat, he suddenly felt refreshed.
However, When he returned to the cabin, he suddenly felt thirsty.
Just as Qingmei filled a basin of water and prepared to wipe herself, she only had a tube top left on her body, and her smooth skin was still there. Under the illumination of the oil lamp, there is a hazy beauty, like a maid in an ancient painting.
"Master. "Qingmei shyly held the towel in front of her chest, her pretty face was on fire, and she didn't dare to look at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao slowly walked up to her, stretched out his hand to pinch her Qin Hao slowly raised his chin, and their eyes met.
Suddenly Qin Hao pulled off the towel Qingmei was holding in front of her, and at the same time gently pulled the strap of her bra with his left hand. /p>
Qingmei let out a soft cry and subconsciously wanted to cover it with her hands, but Qin Hao had already kissed her on the lips.
Qin Hao applied a little force, and Qingmei opened her teeth obediently. , and tried to cater to her, but unfortunately her actions were too immature, and she quickly lost herself.
"Sir, please have mercy on Qingmei"
Qin Hao looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. The girl who was dripping with tears could no longer hold back and stepped forward.
"Ah"
After a night of silence, Qingmei took difficult steps to wash away the contamination from last night. Dots of stars on the sheets, a piece of "The white handkerchief embroidered with "red plum blossoms" was carefully put away by her.
Looking at Qin Hao who was practicing martial arts at the side, Qingmei lowered her head shyly, but her eyebrows were full of joy.
In the next half month, Qin Hao finally understood why the ancients liked reading at night with red sleeves and fragrant flowers. Well, it was very moist.
The only bad thing was that Qingmei followed Qin Liu's orders. Therefore, he only stayed for one night in four days and spent the rest of the time hiding in his cabin.
Qin Hao did not indulge too much. After all, he was still young and sustainable development was important.
< p>Finally, when he arrived at Jiangzhou Pier, Qin Hao did not go directly to Bailudong Academy, but found a restaurant nearby to stay.“No, I’ll invite you with the Hou Mansion’s badge. The local head catcher comes to visit. ”
The Dongchang Hou Mansion may not be considered a top dignitary in Bianjing City, but in a place like Jiangzhou, it still has some prestige.
Soon without weapons, he brought A big man wearing a cross-legged turban, a round-necked shirt, and hemp shoes entered the room.
"Song Qian, the villain of Jiangzhou, came to see the young marquis. ”
Qin Hao nodded, “Song Captou, I have something to entrust to you now. I wonder if Song Captou is willing to do his part for the Dongchang Hou Mansion”
< p> Song Captou was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly bowed, "But according to the instructions of the young marquis, it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, Song Qian will not even raise his eyebrows. "Just listen to this. These old officials are all very cunning. If it is really a life-threatening matter, there is a high probability that they will not try their best.
Qin Hao doesn't care either. What he asked Song Captou to do was not about killing and letting go.
"I heard that there is a woman named Zhu Manniang at Jiangzhou Pier. She also has a brother who is making a living at the dock. Please help me check it out. Let’s take a look at the past history of these two brothers and sisters, one by one, no matter how big or small, don’t miss any detail. "
As he spoke, Qin Hao threw a money bag directly to Song Capt. The heavy silver coins hit the floor. Song Captou couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he quickly picked it up and patted his chest.
< p> "If he fails to do his job in three days, Song Qian is willing to be punished. ”Qin Hao raised his hand and said, “Then I’ll leave it to Song to arrest him.” ”
Song Qian was a local snake after all. After initiating a relationship, he quickly investigated Zhu Maniang’s brother and sister.
In less than three days, Song Qian came to find Qin Hao Return to life.
After Song Qian left, Qin Hao said nothing.
