Zhu Houzhao asked people to make a rectangular mold, and then asked the little eunuch to press the yellow soap viscous into the rectangular mold box, because the rectangular mold box was already engraved with "Royal Industry", "Palace Secret", and "Skin Relief Ointment".

Therefore, there are these three groups of words on the soap after it is pressed and solidified by molding.

"Royal Industries" is the producer.

"Secret of the Imperial Court" is an advertising slogan.

"Soothing cream" is the brand name.

Inner eunuch Qiu Ju took the "skin cream" soap, and asked Zhu Houzhao with some doubts: "Emperor, can this really be sold for money?" ”

Luo Xiang on the side also has this doubt, he is in charge of the leopard house finance and procurement, only he knows that in order to make this kind of "skin cream" soap that the emperor said, he spent the emperor's last savings, once he can't sell it, it not only means that the money is spent in vain, but also means that he has to use the internal money in the end.

Zhu Houzhao asked Qiu Ju to call two palace maids in Huanyi, and both of them took the same dirty clothes to scrub by the water, but one used soap and the other used soap cream in the palace.

Qiu Ju and Luo Xiang watched the soapy clothes be washed in the hands of the Huanyi palace maid for a while, a basin of clear water was suddenly muddy, and the clothes with soap cream were still dirty, and a basin of clear water was not too turbid, so that the Huanyi palace maid had to scrub hard.

Qiu Juxian opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "Emperor, this skin cream is really powerful, you will definitely make money by selling it!" ”

"Emperor, why did you think that you can make this thing with lard, lime and alkaline noodles, this is much better than soaphorn cream!" Luo Xiang was also amazed.

"Joke, how can you guess the emperor's cleverness, the emperor, the slave thinks that we should take out this skin soothing cream and sell it now! The slave maid had done business before entering the palace, and the slave maid dared to ask His Majesty to allow the slave maid to be responsible for selling this soothing cream," Wei Bin immediately suggested.

Luo Xiang was not convinced when he heard it, and thought that it was he who ran before and after to purchase various materials, and now he finally made a baby, but this Wei Bin robbed this money-making job, didn't he mean to pick peaches.

Qiu Ju was also even more angry, thinking that it was himself who was tired before and after, looking for someone to build a house and arranging someone to do this and that, he undoubtedly contributed the most, how could he let Wei Bin take the job of trading, so he was also busy saying: "Who can't sell things, Emperor, you can't just hurt Wei Bin alone!" ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that the soap hadn't started to be sold yet, and several eunuchs around him were fighting first, and couldn't help but press their hands:

"It's all quiet! You are all people around me, I will never favor one over the other, I should give you wealth will naturally give you wealth, since now that we have made soothing cream soap, if there are benefits, we can't monopolize it alone, everyone shares it together, go and call Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and others, I want to have a small meeting. ”

So, soon, Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, Ma Yongcheng, Gu Dayong, Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, Wei Bin, and Luo Xiang Eight Tigers all stood in front of Zhu Houzhao.

"It stands to reason that you are all my slaves, everything you have is mine, and I don't need to give you a share, but the truth is like this, but there is no reason not to let the horse eat grass, you are all my henchmen, and no one can be left behind if there are benefits, I decided to establish the Royal Industrial Company, specializing in the production and sale of Royal Industrial Products!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he handed a prospectus of the Royal Industrial Company to Liu Jin and the other eight tigers:

"You see, in the future, the Royal Industrial Company will not only produce soap, but also glass, explosives and even medicines, etc., and they are all new things that Daming does not have now, and it will definitely be very profitable to make money, so I will give you a chance to make money together;

This is the prospectus, I myself account for sixty percent of the profits, half of the profits are distributed to the first batch of small eunuchs in the Royal Industrial Experimental Base, one percent of the profits are used for the operation of the Royal Industrial Company, half of the profits are reserved for the future to be divided by partners, and the remaining two percent are divided by the eight of you, how to divide it depends on who invests more money, and who is willing to take out how much money is now to the Royal Industrial Company, it will account for as much proportion of the profits. ”

Zhu Houzhao believes that although he doesn't have much money, the eunuchs around him are definitely not bad for money, after all, they are all personal eunuchs who have followed him, the crown prince, for many years.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, the crown prince has his own imperial village, and these imperial villages are also handed over to the eunuchs to take care of, three years of Qing government, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, Zhu Houzhao knows that although they are just personal eunuchs around him, they basically have their own field shops outside, and it is indeed not a big problem to take out tens of thousands of taels of silver.

But Zhu Houzhao knew that if he wanted the Eight Tigers to follow him loyally, he couldn't directly take away the money of the Eight Tigers, but he could pull them to invest!

Zhu Houzhao said again: "I know that you must still have some concerns, afraid to let me know your family background, I said it in front, no matter how rich you are, I will not be greedy, you have followed me for so many years, these family members should be rewarded by me, naturally I will not look for you to come back, this time I let you take the money and divide the shares, not to take your silver, but to let you make a fortune with me, this is called investment, you know?" If I can't get rich, I won't be able to control the government, and your family will not be able to keep it. ”

Liu Jin and the others didn't understand what the Royal Industrial Company was at first, but they didn't understand it until they read the prospectus, knowing that this was similar to the set played by the big businessmen, and the Eight Tigers were not stupid people, knowing that their Majesty Zhu Houzhao was indeed giving them the opportunity to get rich, not to mention that as Zhu Houzhao said, everything about them was Zhu Houzhao's, and Zhu Houzhao also spoke, so naturally he didn't dare not disobey.

So, at the beginning, Liu Jin, who was indeed a little worried about Zhu Houzhao's own family, first spoke: "Speaking of which, the slave maid is also sorry for the emperor, every morning I see that the emperor is so thrifty that he only eats steamed buns and drinks porridge, and the slave and maid are also very distressed, and originally planned to take the silver out to honor the emperor, but he was afraid of making the emperor unhappy, and now the emperor says so, the slave and maid will give five thousand taels, I just hope that the emperor will take this silver and eat more bird's nest or something!" ”

"Good slave, you almost said that I cried, what filial piety is not filial, I said that I will naturally admit that I have private property, and I will protect the safety of your private property as the emperor, eating steamed buns and drinking porridge is what I want to do, it has nothing to do with you, this silver is said to be an investment, it is an investment! I will not spend this money on pleasure, but on the development of science and technology, on ways that will make us all money! I asked you to bring the hens, not to kill the meat, but to lay the eggs! ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

"The slave maid is eight thousand taels!"

Wei Bin is very optimistic about the "skin cream" soap, after listening to Zhu Houzhao, although he doesn't know what the development of science and technology industry is, but he also knows that the more money he takes at this time, the more benefits he will have, so he does not hesitate to overpower Liu Jin.

And Qiu Ju is also optimistic about the profits of soap, and he doesn't want to be lower than Wei Bin: "That slave maid will pay 10,000 taels!" ”

Liu Jin found that this was not only a matter of paying money, but also when he showed loyalty to His Majesty, he was busy and increased the price: "The slave maid will pay another 10,000 taels!" ”

Zhang Yong also understood that this was the time to show loyalty to Zhu Houzhao, and he also shouted directly: "The slave maid also gave 15,000 taels!" ”

Luo Xiang, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, and Gao Feng were not far behind, and they kept raising prices.

For a while, the Eight Tigers almost all pledged their savings over the years, Zhu Houzhao counted it, a total of more than 100,000 taels, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that you are really generous, you haven't become a big eunuch, you have a net worth of no less than 10,000 taels, but I am the poorest." ”

"Whatever the emperor said, these are all rewarded by the emperor when he was in the East Palace before, otherwise how could the slaves and maids have so much silver", Liu Jin smiled awkwardly.

The other "Eight Tigers" also nodded yes.

Zhu Houzhao did not delve into it, but said:

"Now I will divide the shares according to the proportion of the money you give, Liu Jin occupies the most, Zhang Yong is second, but you all have other priorities, the important business of the Royal Industrial Company I still have to hand over to Qiu Ju, Luo Xiang, Wei Bin, the three of you follow me to manage the Royal Industrial Company, Qiu Ju is responsible for managing production, Luo Xiang is responsible for procurement, Wei Bin is responsible for selling, recruiting people and money are managed by me, and at the end of the year, I will give you dividends according to the proportion of your shares!"

The Eight Tigers have no more opinions, anyway, everyone shares the profits, and if anyone cheats and cheats, the losses will be borne by everyone.

Zhu Houzhao believes that the Eight Tigers will also supervise each other because of this, Qiu Hui will supervise Luo Xiang who is responsible for purchasing and Wei Bin who is responsible for selling because of his own interests, Wei Bin will also supervise Qiu Ju and Luo Xiang, Luo Xiang is naturally no exception, Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and others will not sit back and watch others damage the interests of the Royal Industrial Company and affect their own income.

In this way, Zhu Houzhao naturally does not have to worry about the damage to his interests.

In addition, Zhu Houzhao also allocated salaries to those who participated in the operation and production activities of the Royal Industrial Company, whether it was Qiu Ju and other eunuchs or just small eunuchs who did chores, they were treated at least one or two meals a month and two meals and accommodation.

Now it has not yet reached the Longwan switch, silver has not yet poured in, and the salary of one or two silver a month is considered a high salary, and Zhu Houzhao has also established a commission system, that is, front-line production workers and managers have commissions, basically following the principle that whoever does more will get more, so everyone's enthusiasm is quite high.
