Chapter 173: Toothpaste and Good News
September 9, Chung Yeung Festival.
Now everyone celebrates the lunar calendar, so it's actually October in the Gregorian calendar. But that's okay, if you look at the Ottomans, it's already three months since the Hijri.
On this day, soap has been marketed in all provinces. Especially in the Black Gold Mansion, the high profits are actually approaching the profits of all kinds of ironware!
The necessities of life are the most profitable, the ancients, Ah No, the descendants will not deceive me.
In this short period of time, Qin Cang was actually thinking about how to spend money! Especially after spending more than 100,000 Huppelon selling land everywhere, I still found that there were countless heavy metals piled up in my cash vault! What's even worse is that Qin Cang can only smelt them into new founding gold and silver coins, but he can't put them into the market!
The headquarters of the Dahan Development Bank is stationed in Chuantou Street, and it has begun to be distributed throughout the country. On a county-by-county basis, each newly established colony was to have a development bank agency facility.
Almost all new immigrants have to take on a debt of more than three founding coins to pay for the necessities of life, such as property, farmland, arable land, cattle and sheep. And the upper limit of each person's loan is ten founding gold coins, so if you look at it this way, the actual access may be as high as one million founding gold!
And that's obviously just the maximum. According to the latest statistics, the immigrants who have poured in to reach 100,000 have borrowed a total of 170,000 founding gold coins, which means that many of them have taken out joint loans or other means, and they can save as much as they can. After all, the reputation of loan sharks has not been very good......
All in all, Dahan Development Bank's business is perfect. After pouring huge amounts of gold, silver, and copper coins into the market, Dahan's market is clearly showing symptoms of overheating. It's normal overheating, though.
For example, Luyuan County in Banhe Province and the newly established Shengning County. These two places were not paid attention to before, and now a large number of merchants come here to sell their products.
"Jin Jia's iron scissors! Easy to use and lightweight! ”
"Shenghetang time-honored brand! Scythe hoe! ”
"Rice flour salinity! Choose Anning Hall! ”
.......
These merchants, who sail ordinary flat-bottomed sand boats, are the main force of merchants currently walking on the Sea of Azov. In view of the situation of merchants, the tax department currently established is mainly responsible for collecting commodity customs duties and personnel taxes on the wharf, and for the internal banknote customs and customs. The customs collects taxes on the land borders, and the customs is responsible for the taxation of maritime commerce.
The main maritime taxes are mainly divided into commodity tax, transaction tax, contract tax, poll tax and so on. Zero always has to deduct about two-fifths of a trip.
Nevertheless, the merchants made a lot of money. As long as the population is large, what kind of market can't get up?
It's like today's new gadget, toothpaste.
Grass ash contains potassium, which is a major ingredient in making toothpaste. Soak the plant ash in hot water and take out the solution, which contains potassium carbonate. Then use quicklime to make a calcium hydroxide solution, and then stir the calcium hydroxide and potassium carbonate to replace the potassium hydroxide and calcium carbonate. Then it's time for saponification. Potassium hydroxide and grease are heated, just like making soap. Then the salting out solution is mixed with calcium carbonate.
Eventually, a lump of gray toothpaste came out. To be honest, Qin Cang was very skeptical that the appearance of this thing could be sold. So he also arranged for someone to find several old goods who don't brush their teeth all year round to perform at the door of the grocery store.
A group of women and men came to watch. First of all, a few old people who never brushed their teeth, they took the money of the merchant owner, and walked in front of everyone to show their rhubarb teeth, as if there was a stench blowing out. The people in the front row all had a cold war.
Then there was toothpaste and toothbrushes, and cups.
In front of everyone, these people did the same as they had done last night, making a 5:52 toothbrush out of bristles and brushing vigorously between their teeth. The manager has instructed that those whose teeth are already yellow cannot be wanted, that is, these people who are not too old and can still be whitened can be used to perform in public.
Everyone watched as a few people brushed their teeth vigorously on the stage. Until the mouth is full of foam, I take a sip of water, and I spit it out again in my mouth. Wipe off the foam, and several people exposed their mouths in front of everyone.
Although it is still yellow, it is obviously much whiter than the yellow just now.
"Our toothpaste! It smells like grapes, it smells like it, it smells like everything! Toothpaste cleans your teeth and removes bad breath even more! When the princes went to the Qinglou, did they want to talk to the embroidery girl with a stinky breath? ”
The advertising sales are agitating and eager to pull customers into the store with their own hands. The result was obvious, a cabinet of small boxes of toothpaste was immediately snapped up by everyone!
"Don't rush, don't rush! Ready for shipment! Our supply is the most abundant in Chijing! The warehouse is full! With a shout from the steward, the person who bought the goods began to go straight to the warehouse. robbed in the warehouse, and after the robbery, he handed over the money and delivered the goods with one hand to the steward guarding the door.
The custom of toothpaste began to develop from top to bottom. Wealthy businessmen and literati would smile first when they met, revealing a mouthful of big teeth, indicating that everyone had used toothpaste, fresh breath, and white teeth.
As a fad, and very cheap stuff. The manufacture of toothpaste soon spread from Akakyo to all parts of the country.
This is exactly what Qin Cang wants to see. All the technology, including soap, has actually spread to a greater or lesser extent. It is impossible for Qin Cang to monopolize these technologies alone, it is better to set up a copyright office yamen in China, and then any businessman who wants to obtain new technologies needs to pay a large amount of royalties before he can obtain the technology.
And after acquiring the technology, they couldn't compete with Qin Cang in Chijing, so they had to find a new place to develop. Then the Kandal Sultanate sent the alkali from the alkali mine. The alkali is distributed to various places, and quicklime is also sold to various places. Such an economic network is gradually spreading, and the northern shore of the Black Sea is a thriving scene.
Business belongs to business, and any businessman who dares to sit on piracy and start selling without authorization will be severely punished! In a month, six people have been punished for causing trouble. This also made Qin Cang blow his beard and stare at him, use mine, eat mine, and don't want to give money?
On this day, Qin Cang and his family, of course, as well as the seven unlucky Polish nobles, more than a dozen people went to Cava to climb the mountain. Chongyang customs. It's a pity that there are no chrysanthemums in a foreign country, which makes people feel gloomy. But fortunately, the family is neat and tidy, and there are a few more trembling slave girls, and they are still in a good mood when they have afternoon tea.
It didn't take long for the government hall to deliver the news.
Movable type printing has progressed.
