In the spring of the first year of Jingyao (258 AD), there were suddenly two novelties in the shops of the Mijia family on CD Street.

One thing is called soap (the name of soap is denied). It's not cheap. A palm-sized piece of soap actually sells for 200 yuan, which is more expensive than a stone of rice. But this thing's ability to decontaminate is really strong! Not only can the extremely difficult oil stains be easily removed, but those who have used it feel that some of the old dirt on their skin has also been removed. There is a noticeable difference between clothes that have been washed with soap and clothes that have been washed with ordinary pancreas or soaphorn when put together.

So, although this thing is not cheap, it sells very well. Since the beginning of March, Mijia has sold out all 4,000 pieces of soap in less than ten days. Mijia business had to put up a sign: the stock is empty, please wait for next month.

Even so, the huge demand still makes the front of the Mijia shop selling soap crowded every day. The luxury of directly auctioning tens of thousands of copper coins has been repeatedly staged in front of the Mijia shop.

It's not that there are no smart people who associate it with the name soap. Many merchants use the rouge smell in this soap to mix soap and rouge together to make soap. The result, of course, was a shameful failure.

However, compared to soap, which can only be afforded by wealthy families who have at least a little surplus at home. Another new object in the Mijia shop caused even more ripples among the CD people.

This is Jingyao wax (again, Mi Zhao, a profiteer, got inspiration from the name of Yanxi lacquer, and directly gave the oil wax this name without the consent of Mr. Liu Chan).

This Jingyao wax is much cheaper than soap. 20 money a piece. One can burn for about half an hour. And when burning, the light emitted is bright and stable, there is little smoke, and there is almost no taste.

As soon as this high-quality and inexpensive thing was put on the market, it immediately attracted the attention of the CD people. Even poor households who can't afford to buy soap at home have gone to buy one or two Jingyao wax to go home for emergency use. As a result, the sales of various lamp oils and waxes on the CD market were immediately blocked - because of this thing, there were tens of thousands of them stored in the Mijia store.

One of the side effects of this is that at night of CD, there are countless times more houses lit up in the house. And spring is a dry time, so for a while, there were a few small fires in CD City.

There is no need to ask the Mi family, how much is the profit of such a sales product, even if the business owners under the control of the bosses of all parties in the CD are not exactly grasped, but it is enough to imagine. They quickly reported the hot scene formed by these two new products to the heads of each family.

The Shu Han regime, although the most politically clear of the three regimes, was generally the most moderate in internal relations. But that's only relatively. As long as there are enough interests involved, the veil of warmth and affection will be torn off without hesitation.

CD south of the city, the Fei family's mansion.

The founder of this family is Fei Yi Fei Wenwei, the general of Shu Han, the opening of the mansion, and the recording of Shangshu. When Fei Yi was alive, he used Dong Yun to control the inner court internally and suppress Jiang Wei externally. It's not majestic. His eldest daughter was even married to Liu Chan's crown prince Liu Xuan, ensuring the glory of the Fei family.

Unfortunately, he died too suddenly. In the sixteenth year of Yanxi (253), he was assassinated by Cao Wei's general Guo Xiu in court, because the assassin Guo Xiu was quickly killed by the surrounding guards after killing Fei Yi. So this matter has become a headless unsolved case. However, because Fei Yi always suppressed Jiang Wei when he was alive, he would never hand over more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to Jiang Wei for the Northern Expedition. And this Guo Xiu is a general captured by Jiang Wei during the Northern Expedition. Therefore, the Shu Han government and the opposition basically put this account on Jiang Wei's head.

Fei Yi has been dead for five years now. His eldest son, Fei Cheng, is just a squire of the Yellow Gate. The second son, Fei Gong, has not yet been crowned, but he already has the name of a prodigy. Liu Chan is also ready to marry Fei Gong when his other daughter becomes an adult. Therefore, although the Fei family's official position is not high now, as a future descendant, and a family that will produce horses in the future. The momentum of the Fei family has not decreased too much.

When Fei Yi was alive, he was generally relatively honest. But after his assassination, his family saw no hope in politics for a while—it would not be revived until Liu Chan hung up the Fei family (the new emperor relied on his relatives to stabilize the throne, but the officials of his relatives had to be sealed by the new emperor, which was a game of thrones). So in recent years, the Fei family's main energy has been on collecting money and purchasing land.

But the Fei family's start in the business world was much late. The two largest businesses of Shu brocade export and grain domestic transportation have been firmly controlled by the Mi family, and they cannot be intervened for a while. Salt and iron are controlled by the state and dare not interfere. Therefore, the main business of the Fei family is daily groceries, Qinlou Chu Pavilion, casinos, etc. At this time, the Mi family strongly launched soap and Jingyao wax, which was a great blow to the Fei family.

"The head of the family, it has been checked and cleared, and the source of Mijia soap and Jingyao wax is from Fuling County."

"Fuling County? How is this possible? This place has not been looking for relief from the imperial court for decades. How can there be such a product output? ”

"Well, this subordinate doesn't know. But in the last year or so, especially in the last few months. The merchant ships of the Mi family frequently entered and exited Fuling County. According to the news obtained by the small ones, when the Mijia fleet entered the Wujiang River, it was carrying grain and pigs. When I came out of Fuling County, I was carrying this soap and Jingyao wax. ”

"Hiss~~~ Brother Gong, if I remember correctly, the new Taishou of Fuling County is the Guan Yi Guan Zifeng of the Guan family, right?"

"Yes, that's the man."

"Could it be that these things were all made by the Guan family? Guan Zifeng, that kid has this kind of ability? ”

"Brother, this is very likely. Brother, do you still remember that a year ago, not long after Guan Zifeng arrived in Fuling County, he issued an order to eliminate evil water and collect fern roots? Later, the imperial court also promoted the collection of fern roots on a large scale? With this person's knowledge, it is very possible to come up with these things. ”

"Hmm." Fei Cheng dragged his hands, walked back and forth in the lobby for a few steps, and then asked: "You said, after this soap and Jingyao wax are on the market, all the pancreas, insect wax, cow wax, and lamp oil in my Fei family shop can't be sold?" ”

"That's true. Owner, my cow wax actually has a bright fire, and there is little smoke when it burns. In fact, it is a little better than this Jingyao wax. But if you can't stand a piece, the cost will be more than 100 yuan, so this price can't be reduced...... And ......"

"What else?"

"The girls of Xinfengyuan under the command of the Mi family, now after bathing in soap, it is said that their bodies are much cleaner than before, and their body odor is much fresher. The guests all ran to Xinho Temple. Our family's flower hall has lost 90% of its business for a while....... and ......."

"And what?" There was already a great deal of anger in Fei Cheng's voice.

"Moreover, after the Mi family's Tongqufang now has Jingyao wax, it is open all night at night, all using Jingyao wax for lighting, and gamblers are also gathering there. Oh, by the way, Mi's Xinfengyuan is now free of lamp oil for guests staying overnight......"

"Phew!" Fei Cheng slapped the case hard: "Go down carefully and investigate." If these things really came out of Fuling County. You personally went to Fuling County and found Guan Zifeng. Let's just say that what the Mi family has, my Fei family also wants to have! ”

"No!"

In CD City, the elites who have invested in business have more or less noticed the impact of these two new things after they went public. For the first time, the elites of the Shu Han regime collectively turned their attention to Fuling County, which had received little attention before.
