Chapter 270: Competing with the people for profits? Opening a soap factory
Xiao Yingchun was eating in the warm room and waiting for news, but Fu Chenan went to the imperial study.

When Fu Zhonghai heard that Fu Chenan was coming, he was smiling: his son and Miss Xiao finally got together, he was so happy.

He even began to think about where the palace should be prepared for his little grandson.
Is it okay to just put it next to your bedroom?
Anyway, I am alone, so I am not afraid of the noise from the children...

Just when I was imagining something wonderful, Fu Chenan came in with a dark face.

Fu Zhonghai was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What happened? Was he kicked out by Miss Xiao?"

"Dad, when I went to Chunshan Tea House with Miss Xiao today, something bad almost happened..."

When Fu Chenan finished speaking, Fu Zhonghai's first reaction was: "This matter is not directed at Miss Xiao."

It was aimed at them and their son.

Xiao Yingchun's business will certainly have an impact on some merchants, but her products are expensive and usually only wealthy families can afford them.

She couldn't steal the business of ordinary people, but she could steal the business of wealthy families.

Ordinary people will never die because of her.

Fu Chenan nodded: "My son has asked someone to check, I believe there will be news soon..."

Soon, the news came back.

It turned out that the old couple, the man was a carpenter, and the woman's family made a living by doing business in soap beans and pig pancreas.

Because of the popularity of plastic basins, all carpenter businesses in Beijing have been affected.

Many people no longer use wooden basins and barrels, but instead buy plastic buckets and basins.

But this does not make the carpenter unable to survive, because the most important source of income for the carpenter is making large items such as cabinets, tables, funeral supplies, etc., as well as repairing wooden houses.

The soapberry business done by the old women was even smaller: in the past, wealthy families usually used soapberries and pig pancreas to wash clothes.

Although the masters now use soap and perfumed soap, the servants are not qualified to use them.

How many masters in the whole capital can afford soap?
How much less business would that cost her?

What's more, it's not her family's exclusive business, many families also do similar businesses...

It’s unacceptable to seek death because of this!
The real reason they had to die was because their little grandson was kidnapped.

Someone told them that if they refused to die in front of Miss Xiao, their little grandson would never come back.

For the sake of their little grandson, they gritted their teeth and were willing to die.

Fu Chenan's face darkened: "Where is their little grandson?"

"He has been found. He was drugged and knocked unconscious in an empty house at the end of their alley. He has no other external injuries and has been sent home."

"Let the Ministry of Justice investigate! Find the person behind this."

"Here!"

After everyone had left, the Fu family father and son looked at each other with dark faces, and saw murderous intent on each other's faces.

These people can't hold it in anymore.

Come to think of it, after the Fu family father and son came to power, they did not give more comfort and benefits to the princes of the major families.

The policies that Fu Zhonghai came up with after he ascended the throne had no obvious bias. So many princes and aristocratic families had been waiting and waiting, but finally they could not wait any longer.

Even though they don't dare to rebel on the surface, it's okay to take advantage of the Nanming King's rebellion to do something to damage the reputation of the Fu family and his son, right?

For example, they "compete with the people for profit."

Fu Zhonghai looked at his son and asked, "Miss Xiao, are you scared?"

"Yes. They rushed towards Yingying." Xiao Yingchun took several steps back at that time.

"Go and comfort her...see if there's anything in the warehouse that she likes, and ask her to take it away."

At this time, the most important thing is to calm Miss Xiao's emotions.

Fu Chenan stood up: "I'll go back first."

"Go ahead." Fu Zhonghai waved his hand, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "Ask the imperial physician to take her pulse and see if she needs to take some tranquilizers or something..."

Fu Chenan: "Okay."

"By the way, don't take random medicines. If you have children, it will cause bad consequences."

Fu Chenan stopped and looked back: "...Dad!"

Fu Zhonghai raised his eyebrows: "Why? You asked the Imperial Hospital for medicine, I know it's not normal?" Fu Chenan: !!!

Forget it, he couldn’t explain it to his biological father.

Back in the warm room of the East Palace, Xiao Yingchun was already getting impatient waiting.

After listening to Fu Chenan, she frowned slightly: "What should we do next?"

She had long anticipated that ascending the throne was not the end, but the beginning of a new struggle.

Fu Chenan raised his head slightly, with arrogance revealed in his eyes.

"What are you afraid of? I discussed this with my father at the beginning. This kind of thing is just a matter of dealing with it as it happens."

There are only two possibilities for someone to do such a thing.

One possibility is that the noble families who secretly attached themselves to the King of Nanming tried to use this method to win people's hearts, discredit the Fu father and son, and then gradually overthrow the kingdom that the Fu father and son had just gained.

Another possibility is that an aristocratic family that is dissatisfied with the Fu family is trying to use this method to force the Fu father and son to make concessions.

Will the Fu family father and son compromise? !

Absolutely impossible!
The reason why those aristocratic families attempted to control the government and even shake the foundation was simply because they controlled a lot of resources.

Part of these resources are their personal connections and the influence behind them, and part of them are various secret technologies and knowledge.

These aristocratic families often own an entire room or even a building filled with books and maps.

Books are the foundation of many aristocratic families.

However, with the help of Xiao Yingchun, the Fu father and son were not worried about this at all.

In Xiao Yingchun's time, there were numerous electronic versions of books, and courseware, books, and videos of various academic masters could be found everywhere...

Just copy it on a tablet computer and all students can hear and see it.

How much impact did the knowledge of Xiao Yingchun's era have on them?
Just look at Wei Xiaoyi's reaction.

Wei Xiaoyi was also considered a great scholar and was well-read.

But when he saw those strangely dressed scholars talking about the Book of Changes, Guiguzi, and Tao Te Ching on the tablet computer, he felt as if he had seen a ghost.

For three days, he still refused to go out with his tablet computer, listening to the lectures in the room, taking notes, and writing his thoughts...

Sometimes when he heard something exciting, he even shed tears!

Mouth open!

Daigo empowerment!

It turns out that all my resentment and arrogance over the years were completely unnecessary.

The collision of ancient and modern thoughts seemed to open a whole new door of thought for Wei Daru.

His mind was cleansed and he felt that his previous arrogance and extremism were ridiculous.

How narrow-minded!

After all, I still know too little...

When the servant and the maid reported it, Fu Chenan almost laughed out loud.

Through Wei Daru’s reaction, Fu Chenan knew: this cross-era knowledge is the unparalleled foundation in the world.

Compared with this foundation, the so-called foundation of those aristocratic families is nothing great at all.

As for the connections and relationships held by the aristocratic families, it ultimately comes down to control over various talents and forces.

As long as the Fu family father and son are strong enough, all fights will be nothing but trivial.

After seeing a more advanced world, Fu Chenan has enough confidence to deal with the various variables that may follow.

After hearing Fu Chenan's interpretation, Xiao Yingchun began to understand a little.

But… "Why don't we figure out the soap formula and build a soap factory in Tianwu Dynasty?"

"Soap factory?" Fu Chenan was stunned.

　Happy National Day, my dears. Want some tickets? I heard that the tickets are doubled these days...
