Lu Cheng had never been to Zuo Guoji's house as a guest, but the other party left him an address, and Shen Yi's coachman was also familiar with Fucheng, so he naturally knew how to go. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Yi was really itching, and as soon as the carriage got on the road, he began to ask Lu Cheng what kind of novelty he had talked about before.

What made him wonder was that no matter how many times he asked out loud, Lu Cheng simply replied, "I have the opportunity to talk to you in detail", and then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and kept silent.

Actually, Lu Cheng wanted to tell them about soap.

In this era, there was no soap, and some were only cleaning products such as pancreatic soap, but in fact, this was soap. It is similar to the soap manufacturing principle of later generations, but the industry at this time was not yet developed, and it was not possible to make better soap.

Pancreatic soap is not widely used today, and most people should rarely see this rare thing, except in the court and a few very prominent nobles. A boy like Shen Yi may have heard of it, or maybe he has the opportunity to use it.

There is also a reason why Lu Cheng thinks that Shen Yi will be interested in this.

At this time, the scholars and rich sons actually paid great attention to their appearance and clothing, just in the style of clothes, they were like women in a variety of styles, just the headscarves they wore on their heads, there were square scarves, Liuhe hats, Tang scarves and fluttering scarves and other patterns.

In addition, there are many styles of men's clothes, such as robes, straight embellisheds and deep clothes, etc., which are really catching up with the pace of women in terms of beauty.

This is just in terms of clothing, in fact, these boys are very fashionable in all aspects of life. Well, if it sounds good, it is fashionable, and if it doesn't sound good, it likes stinky beauty.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had set the rules for all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, which were very strict. It's just that after his old man died, many systems began to relax restrictions, and in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, not many people would abide by it.

Especially in terms of clothing, as long as you don't go too far, don't wear any dragon robes and python robes, or clothes similar to those worn by court officials, and the color is not taboo, you generally won't make any big deals.

After all, in terms of the system, there are only a few records describing clothing styles, and it is still okay to play word games, and no one will take such trivial things seriously, and the emperor rarely cares.

Speaking of which, it's normal to pay attention to appearance, and those who love stinky beauty have reached the level of femininity. Such people usually have to take a shower twice a day, wear a sachet on their body, and even apply powder to their faces.

These anecdotes were all told to Lu Cheng by Zuo Guoji and Shen Yi when they were chatting. In the Shilin of Kaifeng Mansion, there are really many such people.

Lu Cheng was also emotionally moved after listening to it at that time, and said in his heart that even men were dressed like women, so it was no wonder that the male style prevailed in the Ming Dynasty.

Since people in the middle and upper classes live like this, Lu Cheng feels that it is easy for him to sell soap to them at a high price. Because at this time, only you can make the best soap in the world!

That's awesome enough, isn't it?

But it's the biggest truth!

If he can't make a handmade soap compared to the ancients, he really doesn't have to mix.

Lu Cheng wants to make soap and make a small profit. However, such a thing cannot be done by him alone, and there must be helpers.

And to make soap, all you need is water and vegetable oil, as well as quicklime and plant ash.

Lime is a material used in construction, and the price is not high, so it can be bought in the county, and plant ash and vegetable oil are even simpler.

Once you have the ingredients, of course, you have to try it first, but it's not in a hurry.

What Lu Cheng is most concerned about now is how to form an industry, and the most important thing is not to let others imitate and learn the core technology. At this time, there is no such thing as a patent right, and the imperial court will certainly not be able to protect your legitimate rights and interests.

If you make your own soap, of course, the technology will not be leaked, but this is limited to small quantities, and if the sales are too large, will you be able to keep yourself busy?

No way, Lu Cheng is also a busy person now, while he has to teach, he is still teaching Wang Xueyuan to practice the piano, and he still has to practice calligraphy to see what Baguwen is, how can he have so much time to make soap?

Even if you really have the time, you don't want to stay in the house all day to do this kind of work!

Lu Cheng felt that it was okay to play with these things occasionally, but it would definitely not be possible to do them every day. He is a man with lofty ideals and revenge, how can he waste his limited and precious time on these trivial things?

Since he came to the Ming Dynasty and had the book system in his head, he has set a small goal for himself, such as being admitted to a show first.

Now that this goal has been achieved, Lu Cheng suddenly found that in fact, he is still very likely to be admitted to the lifting of people. Although, he never even had a chance to participate in the township test.

Lu Cheng doesn't plan to make it himself, but if he wants to hire people, how can he ensure that the technology is not leaked?

Now there is only one way that can be thought of, that is, the core technology is in the hands of your own people. In other words, when buying raw materials, it is necessary to buy them at different times and in different places, and when you really start making them, you can only use some reliable people around you.

Lu Cheng doesn't have such people around him, but Zuo Guoji and Shen Yi do. These two people are both sons, and it is still possible to select some reliable subordinates from the family.

Domestic servants have a very low status, and it is still very promising to be able to take on such a job. And only such a person will not easily betray his master.

Because their fate is in the hands of their masters.

Lu Cheng had already thought about it, he would get some raw materials back first, and as long as the production was successful, they could hire workers to make it in large quantities.

In fact, it doesn't need too many people, a small workshop is enough.

High-end things, of course, must be made beautifully and beautifully in appearance in order to show the value of things. Just like the lyre that Lu Cheng won, the wooden box containing the piano is very elegant and exquisite.

In this era, there were no plastic products, and it seems that the only ones that could be considered as soap boxes were wooden boxes. When making it, let the craftsman leave a few small holes under it, so you don't have to worry about getting wet all the time after use.

In addition to the box to be good-looking, each piece of soap must also be printed with a brand, and there is no other branch of this one. Of course, this is not for the sake of anti-counterfeiting, because there is no high-level anti-counterfeiting mark at this time.

The purpose of Lu Cheng is to be able to build a brand and operate steadily.

I didn't tell Shen Yi on the road in a hurry, because I understood this thing by myself, and it was not easy to explain it to these two sons, so I had to explain it in detail. If you can't make it clear, it's hard to pull these two buddies into the gang.

Shen Yi finally couldn't resist the temptation, and was willing to risk losing his life to be with Lu Cheng and stay overnight at Zuo's house. He usually stays in the Qinglou, and he doesn't need to send someone back to greet his father-in-law.

There are few mothers-in-law who will take care of their sons-in-law and prostitutes. Aren't men all three wives and four concubines, what's there to fuss about?
