Lu Bu did not beg Zhang Shiping to sell the toothpaste, but made a big detour to ask him speechlessly.

mentioned this matter to Zhang Shiping, and Chen Gong was completely rejected at that time.

I had long felt that Lu Bu was different from the past, but Chen Gong didn't expect that he still had the ability to talk about Shang Jia to be speechless.

"Zhang Gong is a businessman who is profit-oriented." Lu Bu said to Zhang Shiping: "I'm not sure if something can make money, why don't you try it?" Toothpaste doesn't take up much space, so it's easy to store and transport. If you miss this opportunity, if it is made by someone else in the future, won't you lose a great opportunity in vain? ”

Zhang Shiping hesitated for a moment, and said to Lu Bu: "What Wen Hou said seems to be right, why don't I try it?" ”

"I will have someone prepare a batch for Zhang Gong to take away as soon as possible." Zhang Shiping was relieved, and Lu Bu hurriedly said: "Please also ask Zhang Gong to stay in Xiapi for a few more days." ”

Although he promised to try, Zhang Shiping was not without worries.

"Do you want to try it?" Lu Bu saw his concerns and picked up a bottle of powder: "The paste is still being prepared, but some tooth powders here have the same effect." ”

"Forget it." Zhang Shiping replied: "But I can bring a bottle and go back and try it first." ”

Lu Bu handed the clay vase to the guard.

The guard held it in both hands and handed it to Zhang Shiping.

opened the plug and sniffed it, Zhang Shiping's face suddenly changed differently.

The cool, sober aroma was very different from what he had ever smelled.

Before smelling the fragrance, Zhang Shiping was still unsure about the sales prospects of toothpaste.

When he uncorked the bottle and put it on the tip of his nose, he had great confidence in the goods that could only be used to clean his teeth.

After talking with Lu Bu for a long time, Zhang Shiping knew that toothpaste also had the effect of relieving burns.

Chen Gong accompanied him out of the study, and he already had full confidence in selling toothpaste.

It can not only refresh the breath but also relieve burns, if something like this can't be sold, it's really unreasonable!

"It's hard to thank General Chen for leaving me behind." Walking out of the study, Zhang Shiping said to Chen Gong: "Otherwise, you will really miss the great opportunity to make money." ”

"I once mentioned toothpaste to Zhang Gong, and Zhang Gong was not optimistic at that time." Chen Gong asked, "Why did you change your opinion when you saw Wen Hou?" ”

"General Chen didn't explain the magic of toothpaste, and I didn't smell the fresh breath." Zhang Shiping said: "I just think that it is impossible for ordinary people and soldiers in the army to spend money on useless things. but ignores the woman in the back house of the rich and noble. ”

"How many women can there be in rich and noble families?" Chen Gong said: "Let Zhang Gong sell it, how many bottles can he sell?" ”

"General Chen was born in an official eunuch, and he may not know that women really buy things at any cost." Zhang Shiping said: "High-quality silk silk is often bought by women from rich and noble families. But where the family has a big business, which back house is not a group of people? It is important to be young and beautiful and graceful, but what you wear can also add more luster to a woman. Wives and concubines compete for beauty, and the clothes are almost the same, so there is no novelty. If any lady can exhale like an orchid, she will definitely have more opportunities to stand out in the back house. ”

"Wen Hou and Zhang Gong are talking, and I am also listening." Chen Gong replied: "I didn't think it was novel, but Zhang Gong saw a business opportunity. ”

"I used to sell goods for a living, so of course I have to be more sensitive to making money." Zhang Shiping said: "As long as I open the door of the back house of the rich and noble, I can sell as much toothpaste as I want." ”

"Zhang Gong is so optimistic, the prospect must be good." Chen Gong arched his hand: "I wish Zhang Gong a prosperous and prosperous life, and he will be full of money." ”

"Thank you, General Chen." Zhang Shiping smiled proudly and thanked Chen Gong.

sent Zhang Shiping away, and Lu Bu was able to unload a burden.

There is a market for toothpaste.

For people of this era, toothpaste is a novelty.

Before it works, it will take a long adaptation period for new things to replace what people are already accustomed to and have been using.

Zhang Shiping has been in business for many years, and if even he can't sell toothpaste, it can only be said that it is too early to develop this kind of commodity.

While Lü Bu seized grain and grass from Huainan and sent it back to Xiapi, and contacted Zhang Shiping to promote toothpaste, Yan Xiang, who had been ordered to go to Zhongli, also returned to Shouchun.

Shouchun was the former capital of Chu during the Warring States Period.

Yuan Shu is entrenched in Yangzhou and takes Shouchun as his governing place.

After obtaining the jade seal of the country, he arrogated the title of emperor, and Shouchun then became the capital of Yuan Shu.

Although it is the so-called national capital, the scale of Shouchun City is not very large.

Looting the people's fat and people's ointment, Yuan Shu built a magnificent palace in this not very large city.

The red walls and green tiles of the palace contrast sharply with the adobe houses on the street, which can be said to be a paradise and a desolate street.

In order to fulfill his dream of being an emperor and live a luxurious life as a god king, Yuan Shu almost didn't shovel the land in Huainan and other places.

When Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, the staff were all trying to instigate it, but only Yan Xiang was against it.

It's a pity that Yuan Shu, who dreams of being an emperor all day long, can't listen to him at all, and forcibly ascends the throne when the world's heroes are surrounded by strong enemies, so that he gave Cao Cao an excuse to crusade against him, and also completely turned against Yuan Shao in Hebei.

Back at the Shouchun Palace, Yan Xiang glanced up at the tall gatehouse and sighed lightly.

Although Yuan Shu was not as good as Yuan Shao of Hebei back then, his power should not be underestimated.

Since he ascended the throne as the emperor, not only have the Quartet raised troops to fight, but even the people of Huainan have turned their backs.

Lu Bu and Cao Cao successively attacked Huainan, and Yuan Shu's power was weakened one after another, and the once strong and prosperous had become a thing of the past.

Knowing that Yuan Shu was just a remnant of his life, but with a sense of loyalty, Yan Xiang still chose not to give up.

Yan Xiang returned to Shouchun, and Yuan Shu received him in the palace hall.

In addition to Yuan Shu, there are also a group of generals and ministers sitting in the hall.

Entering the main hall, Yan Xiang bowed and saluted: "Knock to see Your Majesty." ”

"How's Zhongli going over there?" Yuan Shu asked, "Have you found out who did it?" ”

"All the evidence points to Cao Cao." Yan Xiang replied, "We also found a Cao Jun sword in the barracks. ”

"Cao Cao?" Yuan Shu's face suddenly didn't look good: "Could it be that he plans to raise troops to attack Huainan again?" ”

"Although the evidence points to Cao Cao, I suspect that he did not do it." Yan Xiang said: "If it was Cao Cao, the murderer did not have any casualties, why did he leave a sword behind?" ”

The arrogance of the emperor is indeed a ghost of Yuan Shu.

But after all, he is a generation of heroes, not a stupid person.

Yan Xiang nodded, and Yuan Shu immediately understood: "You mean that someone deliberately left this sword to blame Cao Cao?" ”

"I do." Yan Xiang replied.

"Where is the sword? Show me. Yuan Shu probably guessed who it was.

Yan Xiang was followed by an attendant holding a tray.

He glanced back, and the attendant walked towards Yuan Shu with the tray in his hand.
