The next day, Cao Yuting took some of Huan'er's subordinates to marry and returned to Cao's mansion.

The stakes are very high, so Cao Yuting can't afford not to pay attention to it. Originally, according to this point in time, Zhu Zilong could also return to the door together. However, Zhu Zilong argued that the production methods of these goods could still be improved. Let Cao Yuting go home first and talk to her parents.

After a few days, when he goes back, naturally the two sides will pay more attention to each other, and there will be a few fewer temptations.

The rest of the palace was not idle. Under Zhu Zilong's instructions, there were many vacant houses in the palace. The area of the other courtyard is not small, there are many empty yards before and after, and a yard is cleaned up as a workshop first, so it is also convenient to keep it secret.

It is most appropriate to define it as a technical room and a research laboratory.

The production process of soap and other items is actually not complicated, and ordinary people can learn it in a few days if they are carefully taught by Zhu Zilong. In other words, if someone succeeds in stealing the teacher, in case someone leaks it, I am afraid that countless soap workshops will appear in a short period of time.

And there was no patent protection law in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, so the result must be a cheat.

Fortunately, Zhu Zilong's previous demonstration, except for the raw materials exposed in front of Cao Yuting and Huan'er, as well as Jinshan Fat. In the process of making the method, he deliberately blocked and accelerated the speed, so according to his estimate, Cao Yuting and the other three people learned at most 50%.

Only in terms of raw materials, I know a rough idea. In order not to expose the initial nature of the core technology, Zhu Zilong decided to confuse the water of the raw materials.

That's what it means to ask for improvement!

Some people may say, isn't it better that Zhu Zilong didn't expose the entire production method from the beginning?

Hehe, that's the way it is, but who hasn't been young and frivolous? In addition, a few days before the crossing, he was just a poor sling, not even a technician and a white-collar worker, how could he calculate to such a powerful extent.

Besides, the palace is almost out of the pot. Even if Zhu Zilong wants to eat alone, he doesn't have the capital to start a new stove.

Tens of thousands of catties to buy fruit wine from other workshops, do you want to have the capital? Do you need to buy a large amount of pork and lard on the market? Let the people in the house work overtime, and even ask some temporary workers to help, do you want to pay for labor?

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the early investment and market expansion of business only require time and a lot of capital, and even in ancient times, it was necessary to take care of connections.

Zhu Zilong lacked everything except a tiger skin from the prince, so naturally he could only find someone to cooperate.

This is going to find someone to cooperate with anyway, looking at the surrounding characters, is there anyone more worthy of trust than his wife's family for the time being? Obviously, the cooperation with the Cao family is Zhu Zilong's best choice at present.

After all, a family can't write two words, and relatives are also relatives, which is better than a pure outsider.

Zhu Zilong, who traveled through his predecessor in modern China, may be due to nature, but it is really difficult to feel that there is any guarantee for all-round cooperation with people just by relying on the word credit.

Even if he is the prince, but in the Great Song Dynasty, even the emperor often asked the civil officials to point at their faces and scold and spray their faces, without worrying about the dead and being punished too severely. He was an unpopular prince before, and he was not a prince, and he had no chance of becoming a prince, so it was naturally impossible for him to let out the spirit of a king, thinking that everything could be done.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Zhu Zilong even feels. The Cao family may be more worthy of cooperation than his cheap emperor father!

Because, his cheap emperor father Song Huizong Zhao Ji is not only an artist emperor. He is also a money-hungry and lustful person!

Of course, the reason why he wants to add the word "best" is because he is very greedy and has a very poetic temperament, and his appearance is not too ugly, after all, he loves art.

It's just that art costs money, and the emperor of art naturally loves beauty. Judging from the fact that he was able to give birth to more than 30 sons, he doesn't remember when he was spoiled by a large number of imperial concubines, so he knows what happened. These are all inseparable from the word money!

The national treasury tax revenue is about 200 million yuan a year, but the expenditure is also large, and there are not many that can really go to the emperor for private use. After distributing it to the concubines, how much money does the Great Song Emperor still have, can he engage in art?

Therefore, any minister who can help the emperor make money will be deeply used.

Just like Wang Anshi's change of law, if you really think that the change is for the people of the world, then it is really wrong. Counting the main provisions of the new law, the essence of its spirit is to get money for the court and the emperor, and the money has indeed been obtained. From this point of view, Wang Anshi's reform was a success.

We can even say that the core of this change is "financial management", which is also the main reason why he has the trust of the young emperor Shenzong.

It's just that the food is too ugly, so I give it a look. However, it can be known from the fact that Wang Anshi stepped down and the new law was still implemented at the insistence of the emperor. How much did every emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the later emperors, have a high desire for money.

-

"Perhaps, after the business grows bigger, you still have to pull the emperor into the water and mix it in, otherwise, just one Cao family may not be able to deter everyone, after all, the stamina of these commodities, once it expands to the whole country, the temptation in this is too great!" Zhu Zilong looked out of the window and muttered softly to himself.

After another day of practicing indoors, Zhu Zilong is now becoming more and more proficient in making soap and other items.

Looking at a room full of inventory, he straightened up and did a few chest expansion exercises. It was decided to start looking for some new development points from the beauty and diversity of products.

So, come out and lock the door, and let the guards stay here.

Zhu Zilong asked the housekeeper to find him, and asked him to help him find a few good blacksmiths and carpenters.

This is because the tools used in making soap, the molds used to finalize the soap, and even the innovative packaging boxes, all require good carpenters.

Zhu Zilong, who traveled through the 21st century, knows the way of packaging, and whether the effect of the same product is good or not is secondary. The key is to have a good packaging, otherwise even the elixir will not sell at a very good price.

And iron stoves are also essential!

Soon, the housekeeper Jin Shanpang found a somewhat famous tooth nephew, which is the "city philistine". Originally referring to the occlusion of teeth, it is extended to "a broker who agrees for buyers and sellers".

In modern times, it is equivalent to a professional manager!

This tooth is surnamed Liu, and after saluting Zhu Zilong, he respectfully began to ask what kind of people he was looking for. Zhu Zilong just said roughly that the more craftsmen he wanted to find, the better, and he could sign a long-term contract.

When Liu Yayu heard that he could sign a long-term contract, he hurriedly patted his chest and said that he would definitely help find a sufficient number of carpenters and blacksmiths.

In the evening, sure enough, he found twenty or thirty good players.

Zhu Zilong asked one or two questions, and saw that they were indeed some capable.

Then he said to them, "From this day on, you will be the chief workers of my palace for fifteen years." In addition to enjoying fixed offerings, I will soon study the reward and punishment system. As long as you are willing to create and be obedient, my reward will not disappoint you. ”

The craftsmen below, when they heard Zhu Zilong's words, they were happy not to want it.

In the era of the Great Song Dynasty, not everyone had the opportunity to do long-term labor, and long-term labor in the home of the official eunuch was the second best occupation for craftsmen, second only to serving in the government as a civil servant.

As for the formal establishment of civil servants, that is, being an official in the Great Song Dynasty, it is certainly the best profession throughout the ages, but for the ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty, it is better to wash and sleep first.

Even if the Song Dynasty was the era of the least illiteracy rate in ancient China, it would not work. After all, it's also up to about 80%! (In other eras like the Tang Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, and the like, the illiteracy rate of the common people was only less than 90 percent.) ）
