Ju Yi got the honor he wanted as he wished, and he was grateful to Yuan Xi.

He left the Assassin's Mansion and went to talk to the Fu Zhi about the handover.

Evening.

The grass ash and lard in the backyard solidified.

Yuan Xi carried a kitchen knife over and cut the solidified lard and plant ash into pieces. Pick up a piece casually and hand it to Wen Chou: "This thing is called soap, you try it." ”

"How do you try?"

Wen Chou took the soap in his hand and looked at it over and over again.

"Stupid, it's like washing your hands. You go and get your hands dirty first, and then you come back and wash them again, and try the soap. Yuan Xi said.

"Yes."

Wen Chou walked to the flower bed in the distance, stuck his hand in the soil, and made it pitch black. When he returned, he saw lard under the eaves, and he grabbed a handful and wiped it on his hands.

The mud is smeared with lard, and the dirty can no longer be dirty. Even if you wash it again, it will feel very greasy.

"Husband, I'm here..." Zhen Mi ran from the direction of the back kitchen, her hands were full of stove ash, black like ink. When passing by the eaves, he also grabbed a handful of lard and applied it to his hands.

"I'm really convinced." Yuan Xi took a few pieces of soap, handed one to Zhen Mi, and said, "The stove ash is not easy to wash, you have to wash it a few more times." ”

"Hmm."

Zhen Mi didn't believe in the efficacy of soap, and she didn't want to try to clean it. However, Yuan Xi repeatedly boasted about how powerful the soap was. Intrigued, she decided to give it a try. Not only to try, but also to try thoroughly. If you smear it with stove ash and lard, if you wash it in the usual way, you can't wash it off in any way. If soap removes dirt, she believes in its efficacy.

The maidens brought water.

Wen Chou and Zhen Mi each took a piece of soap and smeared it while cleaning it.

I watched a basin of clear water turn into mud.

Wen Chou's hands were washed cleaner than usual, and some of the original dirty places also turned white. Especially the calluses in the palms of the hands, which had always been black, have now turned pale yellow.

Wen Chou stared at his hands in amazement: "This... Is this my hand? ”

"Why not." Yuan Xi smiled and said, "How do you feel?" ”

"Okay."

Wen Chou washed again excitedly.

Zhen Mi changed two basins of water and washed it four times. The dirt on his hands was also removed, and even the greasy lard was washed away. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe it.

"How?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile again.

Zhen Mi praised: "Husband is really smart, how could he think of cooking it with lard and plant ashes to make soap?" Even hands that have been smeared with ash and lard can be washed, so what can't be washed? ”

"Now you believe it, right?"

"Hmm." Zhen Mi nodded, thinking about Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao. They like to buy and sell these things the most. Be sure to tell them how to make it. When the time comes, you can sell it in a shop and make a lot of money.

"Hey, hey..." Wen Chou wiped his hands with a linen cloth: "Lord, give this piece of soap to the last general." He looked at Yuan Xi with an expectant expression.

"Okay, I've got you." Yuan Xi readily agreed.

"Thank you, Lord." Wen Chou carefully tucked the soap into his cuffs.

"You can't leak the ingredients and manufacturing methods of soap. I'll keep it for a long time. Yuan Xi admonished.

"No." Wen Chou didn't even look closely, and he didn't know how to make soap at all.

"Got it..." Zhen Mi patted her white little hand, held her mouth, and suppressed the urge to report to Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao. After all, for her, Yuan Xi's interests are the most important. If Yuan Xi doesn't mind, she can use the waste and take care of her mother's family. Now that Yuan Xi has made it clear that the soap is used for a long time, how dare she leak it again?

The next day.

When the sun rises, there is a quick horse to report. The armies of Zhang Jaw, Li Dian, and Lejin, as well as all the giant beasts, all arrived at the border of Jizhou. Escort the captured generals and nobles of Goguryeo.

The Goguryeo kings, Gao Yanwei and Gao Ling, accompanied them in a carriage, were slightly more treated.

The news reached Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi asked people to find Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and Guo Tu.

in the hall.

Everyone took their seats.

Yuan Xi said: "The captured Goguryeo generals and nobles are about to arrive in Yecheng, how should they be settled? Do you have a number in your mind? ”

After pondering for a while, he replied: "The generals of Goguryeo are brave in battle and good at attacking fortifications. might as well transfer them to Yan Liang's army and serve as a former deputy colonel. In the future, it will be a good hand to attack the city and pull out the village. As for the nobles of Goguryeo, they did not have outstanding talents, but they were also ambitious, and they could not be entrusted with important tasks. It should be transferred to the local area and strictly controlled. ”

"The minister's reconsideration..."

Tian Feng and Guo Tudao.

Yuan Xi subconsciously took a sip of tea, with a complicated expression: "The nobles of Goguryeo are mostly related to Gao Ling. And Gao Ling has saved me in danger many times, and I haven't repaid my kindness, how can I treat her relatives differently? ”

"This..."

Everyone didn't expect that Yuan Xi valued love so much.

It cannot be used, nor can it be offended.

Tian Feng thought about it, the wrinkles between his eyebrows gradually relaxed, and said with a smile: "Actually..... It's easy to do, reward them with a mansion, millions of money, make them rich for life, and it can be regarded as the lord repaying the kindness of Princess Gao Ling. ”

"That's a good idea." Guo Tu agreed.

"Do you know how many nobles and royals there are in Goguryeo?" Yuan Xi stretched out a hand: "There are more than five hundred people, not counting their maids and servants." If you really want to support them for a lifetime, hundreds of millions of dollars can't stop it. ”

"The lord laughed, how could it take hundreds of millions of dollars?" Guo Tu just listened to a joke.

"You don't believe it?" Yuan Xi picked up a document from the table next to him and said, "According to Zhang Jaw's statistics, there are a total of eighty-four nobles and royal families in Goguryeo. You just said that to reward them with a lifetime of wealth, you must first prepare eighty-four mansions, right? The average price of luxury houses in Yecheng is more than one million, which will cost 100 million. Reward them with hundreds of thousands of dollars, some gold and silver, jade, furniture, etc., and use another 100 million. Isn't it going to cost money to do anything in the future? Am I not wronged? ”

"What does the lord mean?" Guo Tu asked.

"Find them something to do, and if they have an official position, they don't need much money and mansion rewards. It can also show that we don't care about our past suspicions and have a magnanimous mind, but it's just... Yuan Xi wanted to speak and stopped: "The Goguryeo nobles are ambitious. If I give them official positions, I am not at ease. You have to think of a perfect solution. ”

I am reluctant to give money, and I am not at ease when I give it to officials.

Everyone was speechless, how should they be placed?
