With the improvement of printing technology and the reduction of costs, the price of books will definitely decrease, the children of poor families will be able to afford books, the class mobility will increase, the country will be more stable, and it will be a matter of time before it becomes prosperous.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, there is nothing wrong with this, and now the price of books in Hangzhou has been suppressed by the Zhongshan Printing Association, and it has been reduced to the minimum.

Chen Ye was not worried that they would leak the secret recipe, he had already signed an agreement to leak it to other booksellers and forces privately, and he would be fined 1,000 taels of gold, except for the current saints. They also know very well in their hearts that they must contribute when the scale of the association grows bigger and bigger.

It may also be that the bandits' incident last time had a greater impact on his heart, and Zhao Jiancai's body gradually deteriorated greatly. His face was also much paler, and his energy was not as good as before, and now many things were handed over to Zhao Feifei and Zhao Xiao to deal with.

Looking at Zhao Xiao and Zhao Feifei's busy figures, I wanted to go to help, worried about the reputation of coveting family property, anyway, my current business is doing well, and there is no shortage of silver, but I feel sorry for my wife.

"Childe, didn't you take a bath?" Greenring leaned in and sniffed.

"I just washed it yesterday," Chen Ye felt that it did have some taste.

Zhao Xiao has been busy in the past two days, and the green ring has also followed her, the weather is hot, and her body is sticky, so that no one has washed her clothes, and they are almost smelly.

Chen Ye felt very faceless, and he was disgusted by the green ring. Yes, Chen Ye had an idea, the weather was very hot, causing sweat and stickiness all over his body, and it was not easy to solve it.

Chen Ye instructed Chen Shi to go outside the city to find some dead leaves and dead branches of flowers and plants. He also asked Chen Shi to go to the market to buy some pork and buy it with fatty meat.

There are some lists listed, and there are all kinds of flowers and spices on them, so I let Chen Shiqu buy them. changed into a clean piece of clothes, threw it to Chen Yi, and asked her to help wash the clothes.

"Xianggong, what are you going to do? There are dead branches of flowers, and spices, are you making incense? Zhao Xiao looked at Chen Ye a little strangely,

Luhuan told himself that he felt that he had neglected Chen Ye in the past few days and had not done his duty as a wife, so he came over to take a look. Looking at the mess all over the garden, I was puzzled

In fact, Zhongshan has a long history of incense, and it is more important to choose a fragrant tree or dead branch, add some spices, and light it directly to make incense.

"Do you want to know?" Chen Ye said.

"Well, Xianggong told me"

"Kiss me" After speaking, Chen Ye turned his face sideways.

In this era, it is basically women who have such requirements, and it is a little funny to look at their husbands like this, but I didn't expect them to have such a side.

Zhao Xiao smiled slyly: "Forget it, I'm leaving"

Before he could take a step, he was pulled directly into his arms by Chen Ye and said, "If you don't want to know, you have to know."

"Po, poo, po" kissed a few mouthfuls.

"It's a soap, but it's a mystery."

Chen Ye asked Zhao Xiao to go to her business, and she was going to start making soap.

After collecting the things, first of all, the collected dead branches and leaves were ignited, the grass and wood ashes were collected, and 1.5 times the water was poured in, and Chen Yi kept stirring.

Prepare breathable gauze to remove impurities and gray matter. Filter several times with breathable gauze to obtain the filtered mixture, which is the lye. The most basic lye is formed, and the lye can be used to help make many things.

These are not enough and need to be concentrated. Concentrate the filtered lye: heat the lye to remove water to increase the concentration of the alkali, put an egg in it, and float it to indicate that the concentration is enough.

The most important thing is to boil lard, and listen to other people's comments while you are boiling.

"Isn't Childe crazy recently, burning dead leaves and drying up the water again?"

"No, it's boiling pork again."

"Just that's it"

"It's such a waste, I don't know what to think?"

Chen Yi frowned when he heard this, Gongzi was already under martial law, why did anyone still know.

"How many of you come here," the maids nodded yes.

"Who allowed you to talk about Childe? Childe, are you talking about it? ”

A few maids began to be a little unconvinced: "We are all subordinates, what are you pretending to be a young lady, you are not qualified to question me"

Chen Yi directly stepped forward and slapped him hard, saying, "I don't allow anyone to say bad things about my son."

"Who let you come near this yard?" Chen Yi was a little annoyed.

"If you dare to beat me, I am under the master's mother, and the sisters will give it to me." The minions struck at Chen.

Chen Yi waved his hand directly, jumped out from behind the rockery and held several people away.

"Childe's secret, I don't want anyone to know"

"Deal with it" Several masked people nodded directly, and the maid leaked a frightened expression, wanting to shout loudly, but her mouth was already covered.

The "click" neck was directly twisted and dragged away.

Chen Yi directly instructed the people below that Gongzi's courtyard remained secret and could not be entered and exited casually.

Chen Ye didn't know here, so he set up a cauldron in the courtyard and boiled lard. Add the boiled lard to the concentrated alkaline water: heat the oil alkali and stir until the saponification is complete, and cook until it is very thick.

Use the prepared model, one with a five-pointed star, one in the shape of a flower, and pour it in until the shape is stable.

"Childe, please punish" Chen Yi knelt in the courtyard.

"What have you done wrong, and what shall I punish you?" Chen Ye was a little puzzled

"Some maids directly snooped on the secret of the son, pointing fingers, I ordered someone to dispose of it" Chen Ye was stunned.

Looking at the thirteen-year-old Chen Yi, who was originally just a child, should have been jumping and playing, but he didn't expect the punishment to be so ruthless, it was three lives.

"I am willing to be punished by my son"

Although Chen Ye has killed people, he has killed people who have committed unforgivable crimes, and he does not have the slightest guilt in his heart. Now it's three fresh lives, and I'm a little sad because I haven't dealt with them all.

I didn't expect that the group of children I cultivated could already do this?

"Did you plant eyeliner in the house, and how far have you got?"

"Yes, there are secret guards in the mansion to protect you, and there are also our people lurking, and there are also our eyeliners in Hangzhou City" Chen Yi didn't dare to lie.

Seeing that Chen Ye didn't speak, he continued: "The money that Gongzi gave us, we have developed informants, and we have cultivated two batches to ensure loyalty to Gongzi. ”

"Why don't I know?"

"Some things are not yet mature, and I haven't told Childe yet"

"Chen Yi, you have a lot of skills" Chen Ye was a little annoyed.

"My life belongs to Childe, it is all up to Childe's orders" Chen Yi said firmly, without a trace of doubt in his tone.

"Okay, I see, let's go down." Chen Yi stepped back.

Chen Ye's mind was a little unable to turn around, originally thinking that these children were still young and would not be of any help to him now, but he didn't expect that now these children have helped him to this level.

I don't know if this matter is happy or sad, this matter should be indispensable to Zheng Xin's arrangement. Zheng Xin's reputation for benevolence is getting louder and louder in Hangzhou, and there is a faint tendency to become the second largest underground force in Hangzhou.

With the support of a large amount of funds, dart games, brothels, gambling houses, and the "Renyi Society" began to be gradually established, and a huge net was slowly spread in Hangzhou.
