It took five or six days to wait for the first batch of pine soap and candles to be finished. Due to the unstable quality of the raw materials, many trials were made during the period, with some successes and some failures. Fortunately, we gradually adjusted and improved in the end, and finally sorted out A relatively complete data can be used for mass production in the future.

The time will soon be March 25.

Tomorrow is the twenty-ninth birthday of Chu Shijun and President Chu Rousi, which is a big day for the entire Liaodong Group.However, Chuning gathered his generals and officials one day in advance and had a lively meal together. After recalling the past and looking forward to the future, he gained a lot of goodwill.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, seeing that the meal was almost finished, Chuning left the banquet hall. After all, as an officer, with her present, none of these people dared to let go of eating or drinking.

Back in the backyard of the Sheriff's Mansion, I washed and scrubbed comfortably, got rid of the smell of alcohol, changed into the clothes given by Bai Su, and came to the heaven and earth with great anticipation.

When Chu Ning came in, Bai Su was sitting on a chair looking at some letter. Chuning approached quickly, squeezed to the side and sat down, took advantage of the opportunity to put his arms around Bai Su, and asked with a smile, "Ah Su is still busy?"

"It's a letter from senior brother and Mr. Baijia Tuohuo."

Bai Su said, and handed the letter to Chuning.

"It's true, Uncle Huo, that he came from Huang county just for such a birthday... Huh?" Chu Ning was shocked when he opened the first letter: "Yuan Xiangguo actually asked Jiang Shijun to say hello to his son." ? And the said kiss is actually you, A Su? Am I not mistaken?"

Seeing Bai Su nod his head to confirm, Chuning opened the second letter, but it was written to Bai Su by the head of the Bai family in Huang County. During the conversation, they were all talking about the goodness of the fifth son of the Xiangguo Mansion and persuading Bai Su think carefully.

"Hmph!" Putting down the letter, Chuning snorted coldly: "Does this Yuan Xiangguo want to go to heaven? The emperor is trying to win me over, but he is here to make trouble for you."

When Bai Su heard the words, she gave up and said, "It's not really a matter of making sure."

"Yuan Xiangguo's move is really disgusting!"

Obviously everyone is fighting wits and fighting for power and profit, but Yuan Xiangguo wants to blackmail people with marriage, which is a hundred times more disgusting than marrying a princess and getting married in the court.

"Wen He, don't worry, Yuan Shi alone can't handle me, Bai Su." Bai Su took some thin paper and handed it to Chuning.

"This is Uncle Huo's handwriting." Chu Ning read while looking at it: "The Yuan family has five sons named Ren Yi Li Zhi Xin. The eldest son Yuan Ren is the long history of the abolished prince's mansion; the second son Yuan Yi is an official The third son, Yuan Li, is a doctor of Taixue; the fourth son, Yuan Zhi, has not yet entered the court as an official, and is usually responsible for managing the family property; the fifth son, Yuan Xin, is in charge of all business affairs under Yuan's family because he loves merchants. .”

Bai Su listened and said, "This is the news from Uncle Huo."

"Uncle Huo is also a caring person." Chuning couldn't help but sighed, she also knew some old things about the Huo family, but not much, but according to her guess, Yuan's hands should be indispensable for the murder of the Huo family.Apparently Huo Yunshu thought so too, so he found out about Yuan's internal situation so clearly.

"How does Ah Su plan to deal with this Yuan family?"

Bai Su thought for a while, looked at Chuning, and said in a slow voice, "What about going bankrupt?"

Chuning asked, "Do you need help?"

"Shouldn't be used." Bai Su said: "Pine soap and candles are two things that have attracted the attention of many people. I'm negotiating with several big merchants from other places. I guess I can get money to buy them in a few days."

For Bai Su, money is the most powerful weapon.

And when he heard that the money was in the account, Chuning couldn't help but smile, pushed the letter away, lay on Bai Su's lap, and said: "The bath beans that were launched before, although they have excellent medicinal properties, but the price is super high, only rich and noble Only people can afford it. But this pine soap is different. Although it lacks the medicinal effect, it can be used for body cleansing and laundry, but it is enough. When Liang Bo extracts the perfume someday, he can also mix it into this soap , to make soap."

"It is precisely because of this that those big merchants are negotiating prices and arguing endlessly." Bai Su frowned as she spoke, "Currently, the worst thing in the market is paraffin wax, which burns with too much smoke and little fire, so the market price is not high; better Insect wax has a little smoke, and the market price is moderate; the best is oil wax, which is made of butter or sheep oil, with little smoke and bright flames, and a high-quality butter candle costs about [-] to [-] yuan a piece."

The lard wax made by Chuning is very good for use, almost as good as tallow wax.But at this time when I am generally reluctant to light oil lamps, how many households can afford to burn oil wax worth tens of pennies?Even the paraffin that Bai Su mentioned, Chuning believed, was not something that ordinary people could afford.

"Ah Su is worried that if the price is too low, you will lose money, and if the price is too high, no one will buy it?" Chuning found himself in a comfortable position, and said, "In the past few days, after our careful calculation, ten catties of lard, About 20 to 30 yuan of pine soap can be sold, plus more than ten candles."

"The current market price of lard is about [-] to [-] yuan a catty." Bai Su calculated, "That is to say, as long as the pine soap and candles are sold for more than [-] yuan each, we can protect our capital."

"Based on the current per capita income of Muyang City, except for food, clothing and housing, it is completely affordable." Chuning said, "Besides, it is not necessary to use lard to make soap and candles. After the sea water warms up , I will send someone to catch a whale, and it will be enough to make a million yuan."

Many types of whales are known as sea gold mines. Even if Chuning does not kill them, with the development of the times and technology, people will start hunting them.In Chuning's previous life, countries such as Japan, the United Kingdom, Norway, the Soviet Union, and the Netherlands all organized large whaling fleets.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Chuning decided to carry out this plan—it was not that Chuning was cruel, but that compared to the self-killing of human beings for thousands of years, mere whaling... what is it?

"Actually, soap and candles, these two things are still secondary." Chuning said: "The main thing is glycerin. With glycerin, the bitter taste in fruit wine can be removed. There is not enough food to produce a large amount of wine." In the case of liquor, fruit wine with clear color and sweet taste can almost sweep the entire alcohol market and monopolize all profits."

In Chuning's opinion, the fruit wine of this era is not really wine. It is turbid in color, astringent in taste, and low in alcohol content, making it hard to swallow.

But fortunately, fruit wine comes according to the seasons. Any fruit that grows in the fields can be brewed into any kind of wine. Unlike grain, a large amount of wine will affect people's lives.

"That's true." Bai Su put her hand on Chuning's shoulder to prevent Chuning from tossing and rolling to the ground, thinking, "But I'm worried that the imperial court will intervene."

"Ah Su mean, Yantie official camp?"

"If fruit wine is on the market, they know the profit, and maybe they will include wine in it."

There are many alcoholics in the world, and it is difficult to quit, unlike pine soap and candles, where you can have it or not.

"That's it." Chu Ning thought for a while, and said, "The newly built salt field will be managed by the county government, and the business group will buy coarse salt from the county government to purify it. The same is true for wine. The county government is responsible for finding someone to brew it. The group is responsible for sales."

"What about the soap and candles?"

"I will build an independent workshop for soap and candles." Chuning said quickly: "At least within two or three years, this craft must be kept secret."

"Understood." Bai Su thought for a while, and then said: "Toothbrush and toothpaste, there are many imitations on the market. I am considering whether to remove this industry from the Universal Merchant Group."

"Let's make a transition." Chu Ning said, "I heard that Xianbei's fight was lively this year, so I let Murong Yao go back."

"Duan Bu was originally powerful, but last year he plundered Liaoxi and suffered heavy damage, and the Murong Bu took away a lot of people. There must be resentment in his heart, and he might defect to Daqing." Bai Surou smiled and said: "You are here Put Murong Yao back when it's time, and they must have played more lively."

"It's good to let them play lively." Chu Ning also said with a smile: "Murong Yao has been in Chang'an for so many years, and he is deeply influenced by my Central Plains culture. Humiliation, if you can gain a firm foothold when you go back, you will definitely seize power and fight me to the end."

"If he goes back like this, if he doesn't want to live a mediocre life, he can only seize power and fight for the top." Bai Su asked, "Wenhe is planning to start raising sheep?"

"Yeah, I've asked the people from the Craftsmanship Department to study how to weave wool into clothes."

The two talked and looked at each other and laughed again. Bai Su remembered Chuning's almost whimsical sheep raising plan when he was still in Husu.

"A Su, do you know...how did it feel when I first saw you?"

"Huh? What does it feel like?"

"At that time, I thought you were ambitious, foresighted, and capable of accomplishing great things." Chu Ning lay on Bai Su's lap, closed his eyes, and slowly recalled: "It's very strange, I only found out later, In fact, Ah Su is still very beautiful... No, the word beauty is not suitable to describe Ah Su - she is peerless, yes, only this is suitable for Ah Su."

"Really?" Bai Su lowered her head and looked at Chuning. She wanted to look at her eyebrows, but saw that Chuning's disheveled clothes were slightly opened, revealing a few inconspicuous marks.

Bai Su remembered that it was the trace left by her in the morning.

Suddenly, Bai Su thought of the first time she had close contact with Chuning—the cold wind was blowing, and Chuning was shivering in unlined clothing, but she was standing in front of him, holding on for the soldiers under her command. Borrow clothes.

Thinking of this, her fingertips unconsciously fell on the imprint, caressed gently, and Bai Su asked: "Wen He, do you still remember the first time I gave you the cloak?"

"Of course I remember." Chu Ning opened his eyes, with a smile in his eyes: "After Ah Su helped me tie the cloak, it seemed that I would not even go on the road..."

"Yes, at that time... I didn't really like contact with people." Bai Su thought for a while, and added: "Close contact."

Chuning held down the fingertip that had touched her collarbone, and asked with a smile, "What about now?"

The author has something to say: Well, Mr. Chu has finally come of age.

Then, today I found out that my collection has increased by 100, Kai Sen!

Thank you all for helping me recommend!
