No matter what difficulties are encountered, first of all, the idea is clear, the priority is distinguished, and then the key points are grasped to make targeted arrangements, which is a habit that Gao pragmatic learned and developed in his work in his previous life. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to ensure that Gao Gong does not fall at the turn of Longwan, and that the first assistant and the chief minister will continue to do it in peace; The second is to raise hope, at least to leave a good impression of young talents and talents in the officialdom of the capital, Shilin and even the royal family; Finally, it is to build its own industrial team to pave the way for the development and transformation of Daming in the future.

If you put it bluntly, the first step is to stabilize your position in the Ming political arena, which is a matter of life and death - of course, this may be a bit serious, after all, Zhang Juzheng's history is not to kill Gao Gong, but to end his political life. However, if this matter is not done well, then at least Zhang Juzheng will not want to do anything in the ten years of high pragmatism, and can only be honestly lurking. Although from Gao Pragmatic's age, ten years of incubation does not seem to be a big deal, but he knows that the future of Daming is a bad thing after a bad thing, and it is best not to waste time if he can not waste time, after all, in Gao Pragmatic's view, Zhang Juzheng's reform in those ten years is not as beautiful as many people in later generations think, and he has not solved many problems well at all, and he is a paster like Li Hongzhang.

The second step is to prepare in advance for the title of your gold list and entering the political arena in the future. The advantages of the official family are not only the visible benefits of economic resources and educational resources, but also the biggest resource that cannot be seen but can be enjoyed is actually the network. Gao Pragmatic himself was in politics in his previous life, although his position is low, but the reason is the same - you have someone to take care of you above, someone around you to help you cooperate, and someone below you to wave the flag and shout, so you can't do something decent, then you can really only say that your ability is too poor. Gao was born as a secretary in his previous life, and a lot of what he usually does is to make pre-arrangements and check and fill in the gaps, and it is not surprising that such advance arrangements have long become behavioral habits.

The third step is long-term planning, which of course also means immediate benefits - without industry, where is the capital to make friends? In this world, of course, there will still be some good people who simply see that your child is doing well and help you a little when it is convenient. But that's obviously not enough, more people will only come out to echo you and praise you after you succeed, not to mention that if you don't have any friendship with others, can you expect people to risk their lives to save you out of morality alone? It's too naïve, Gao Pragmatic never dared to count on this. There is a way that is easy to add to the cake, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, if you want people to give you charcoal in the snow, you must make people feel that sending this charcoal is very good for themselves! Or if he doesn't send this charcoal, he must be in big trouble himself! If you can achieve both of these points, then you don't have to worry, there will be people who will risk their lives to save you. But how? First of all, you have to be rich, you have to be able to afford such a big network!

Of course, there are such things as connections, which don't talk about money, but first of all, that is unstable. Do you think that after you fall into Pingyang, a friend of your uncle or uncle, or a friend you usually know from poetry and painting, will pull you out of morality? If you're in a lot of trouble with this, what if people don't want to put themselves in it? What if people think that your uncle and uncle themselves are gone, and the favor has faded a long time ago? What if people are cowardly? What if people are simply afraid of trouble? I can't be sure if I have any of these things, so I can't count on them at all.

The only ones you can count on are those who have a stake in you. Whether it is someone who can get a lot of benefits from you after helping you, or someone who will lose a lot of benefits if he doesn't help you. These connections are the connections that basically won't drop the chain at critical moments. Why? Don't you hear that "blocking people's wealth is like killing parents"? Killing parents is a common hatred!

Therefore, if officialdom wants to mix well, having money is also the last word - it's not that you have to bribe people and give money, but it's human nature to usher in send-offs and exchange gifts, right? You interact with people on weekdays, act generously, and never make friends suffer, people can not like you, who will not make friends with you? If you are more clever, for example, if you have a business, your friends think it is not bad, invest some spare money in it and share it, you can really make money every time, and when you make money, you always give him dividends on time and in quantity, can people not like you? Can people not trust you? Can people tolerate you having an accident?

That's the stake.

Therefore, if you want to have a wide network, in addition to making more like-minded people, you must also have a foundation, capital, industry, and a way to make money.

The soap industry is a highly pragmatic starting industry, this business in Daming is of course a typical emerging industry, one of the main advantages of emerging industries is that the competition is small and the profits are high, the disadvantage is usually to promote sometimes more troublesome.

But high pragmatism is not afraid of difficult promotion.

In these years, people are still relatively honest in business, and the popular idea is still at the level of "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys". Seriously, this level of primitive promotion is simply weak for Gao Pragmatic, an old fritter who has been in the commercial society for many years.

Of course, because it is a start-up industry, it must be a hit, which puts forward requirements for the product itself - although Gao pragmatic thinks that he can completely blow up a seven-point good product into a very good product and make people believe in it, but if the product itself is very good, wouldn't it be better? Don't be afraid to blow to the sky.

Therefore, for the progress of soap manufacturing, Gao Pragmatic is still very concerned. His soap is the so-called handmade soap in later generations, which is of course a little rougher than some refined handmade soaps in later generations. But no matter how rough it is, the manufacturing process is still basically similar, and the time of the saponification reaction must wait, so he poured it out for more than ten days with a few people under his hands in Gaofu, and finally poured out a dozen pieces.

Since the fragrance of soap is not as good as perfume, it cannot distinguish any top, middle and bottom notes, and soap fragrance is basically a one-time stereotyped mixed fragrance. However, the mixing and setting should also pay attention to a prominent main fragrance, and the fixative and essential oil of the fragrance will have a certain impact on the saponification reaction. Therefore, after dozens of tests, although these dozen pieces of soap have been made, it still needs to wait for more than ten days for the saponification reaction to be completed naturally before they can be used. However, although it can't be used yet, it can already smell the fragrance, and he now has limited space and limited manpower, so there are not too many tricks in this first batch of prototypes, and there are only two fragrance types in total: peppermint and laurel. Originally, according to the highly pragmatic plan, there should be jasmine fragrance in the first batch of trial products, but at this time, after all, it is winter, and there is not much jasmine stock in the major pharmacies in Beijing, and even if there is, it is dried jasmine, so it cannot be used to refine essential oils, so I have to place a small list first, and wait until the jasmine blooms half a year later. Fortunately, mint and laurel are the raw materials commonly used by the people of the Ming Dynasty to make sachets, otherwise Gao Pragmatic would have to change his mind and make sulfur soap first.
