Chapter 73 Soap Business
Then, when Ying Zheng was about to go to bed, he heard the report from the guards.

"Your Majesty, a secret letter has arrived. It was delivered by Yu Ji in Shahe Village."

Ying Zheng stopped and returned to the table.

"Bring it to me to see."

The guard handed over the secret letter with both hands.

Ying Zheng picked up the secret letter and opened it.

The guard then walked aside and relit the lamp to provide illumination for Ying Zheng.

After a while, Ying Zheng finished reading the secret letter.

He smiled and shook his head.

"It seems that Zhao's daily life is just like that, nothing special. He doesn't talk about rebellion all day long."

"But the soap written above sounds interesting. I really want to try it and see if it cleans really well?"

"That kid Zhao Yi is really too much! When I went there before, I never saw him take out any soap to wash my hands."

"Now take it out and give it to Yu Ji as soon as she goes. This kid is a bit too much."

Ying Zheng thought about it.

Just follow Yu Ji's advice.

If I ask this in person, it might really arouse Zhao Yi's suspicion.

After all, Yu Ji had just arrived in Shahe Village to spend the night the day before, so she went to Zhao Yi to inquire about the soap matter.

It's a bit suspicious indeed.

It would be nothing if Luo Yu and Yu Ji were doing a soap business.

After all, Yu Ji was originally in that caravan.

By then, I can also get soap from Luo Yu.

So Ying Zheng picked up a pen and paper and wrote the word "approval".

Then Ying Zheng called the guards.

"Take this and send the carrier pigeon to take it back." Ying Zheng ordered.

"My minister obeys."

The guards took Ying Zheng's order to deliver it via carrier pigeon, while Ying Zheng went to his bedroom to rest...

Late at night, Yu Ji found an opportunity to call a carrier pigeon, took out the small tube and took out the imperial edict that had just come from the palace.

When Yu Ji opened it, she saw only one word written on it - accurate.

So Yu Ji smiled happily.

The next morning, Yu Ji talked to Zhao Yi about the soap business.

Zhao Yi thought about it and agreed.

After all, there is a market for soap, but ordinary people cannot afford it. Only the aristocratic class can afford it.

Also, since this business was not of much help to the rebellion, I didn't mention it to my scumbag father.

Later, seeing that his father was very wealthy and had no shortage of money, Zhao Yi was too lazy to mention this to him.

Anyway, soap production is also a by-product of the production of nitroglycerin explosives.

Since Yu Ji asked me this, she also gave me some management methods.

You can just sit back and collect the money without worrying about anything else.

"Sister Yu Ji, I can give you the secret recipe so that you can do business with Luo Yu. But I want 70% of the profit, isn't that too much?"

Yu Ji shook her head and said, "It's not too much. After all, you gave me the recipe."

Yu Ji certainly knew the value of the recipe.

In addition, Zhao Yi could have done the soap business himself, but he just found it too troublesome.

Zhao Yi then wrote down the method of making soap and gave it to Yu Ji.

He felt that Luo Yu and Yu Ji would not lie to him about such a thing.

If it weren't for the fact that perfume requires alcohol to be extracted, and alcohol can only be produced by the winery that my father is building and his own winery.

So Zhao Yi did not add the perfume formula.

Yu Ji was deeply moved by Zhao Yi's actions, because Zhao Yi trusted her so much, even though they had only known each other for a few days.

He actually dared to hand over this coin listing business that seemed to be able to make tens of thousands of profits annually to me.

Yu Ji didn't know that Zhao Yi did business with his scumbag father in units of tens of thousands of coins, and this amount of money was nothing to Zhao Yi.

In addition, in Zhao Yi's view, listing currency is only useful now, and he will definitely make changes to the monetary policy after he rebels.

He promoted the paper currency system of later generations, but he would not make the same mistake as Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty.

……

Three days later, Luo Yu met Yu Ji again.

She put down the pen in her hand and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, why don't you continue to work with that little brother Zhao Yi and come back to see me, your old customer?"

"Okay, stop being sarcastic. I've brought you a good business this time. I estimate that it will be no problem to make tens of thousands of yuan in annual profit. You will definitely be very grateful to me after hearing this." Yu Ji said with a smile.

When Luo Yu heard this, he immediately thought of the child Zhao Yi.

You have to know that Zhao Yi had only taught him the bee-raising techniques a few days ago.

After the honey business is established, it will be no problem to make a profit of tens of thousands of yuan per year.

Only Zhao Yi can come up with a technology that can generate tens of thousands of dollars in annual profits.

But how could Yu Ji learn Zhao Yi's skills within just a few days of being there?
Is it that Zhao Yi trusts her too much?

Or does Zhao Yi not care about this technology?
Luo Yu thinks it's both.

So Luo Yu asked expectantly: "Is everything you said true? Are you kidding me?"

"Really. I really brought you a good business. Look at this." As she said that, Yu Ji took out the manufacturing method given by Zhao Yi.

Luo Yu looked at the paper in Yu Ji's hand and knew that Yu Ji was not joking, so she asked hurriedly: "Tell me quickly. What is this good thing?"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you. This is a formula for making something used to clean the body. And that thing is called soap." Yu Ji replied.

"Soap? How do you use it?" Luo Yu asked.

"You'll know if you try it yourself." After saying that, Yu Ji took out the soap she got from Zhao Yi.

Luo Yu took the soap from Yu Ji's hand and opened the paper packaging of the soap.

She looked at the white soap and asked, "So Yu Ji, please tell me how to use this soap?"

"Wet your hands with some water and rub them with the soap a few times. Then rub your hands into bubbles and rinse off the bubbles with water." Yu Ji briefly explained how to use the soap.

"It's that simple?"

"Correct."

After getting Yu Ji's reply, Luo Li immediately stood up, picked up the soap, walked to the copper plate for washing hands, and rubbed out foam according to the method Yu Ji said.

Finally, Luo Yu put her hands into the basin to wash away the foam, and then she took her hands out again.

She then discovered that the ink on her hands had been washed off.

Luo Yu could clearly feel how fresh and clean her hands were after washing with soap.

As the leader of the caravan, Luo Yu certainly understood the value of this soap.

Once this soap product is launched, it will be welcomed by the aristocracy.

After all, they have the money and time to pursue a clean body.

But the common people below don’t have the capital. They don’t even have the capital to take a hot bath every day.

After all, you have to either collect firewood yourself or buy it.

If you want to pick them up, you have to go to the distant forest because the ones nearby have already been picked up.

It’s not cheap to buy, a load costs several cents.

Therefore, ordinary families are not qualified to take a hot bath every day.

Luo Yu admired Zhao Yi very much for coming up with the method of making soap.

Only he could come up with something like this.

He really can't be an immortal.
