The Tiele tribe seized several spies sent by the Titan and revealed some of the plots of the Western Turks. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After consulting with his ministers, Li Shimin decided to authorize Li Su to take decisive measures and resolutely crack down on the Western Turks if necessary.

On the grassland, Li Su and others marched towards the royal court of the Tuli Ministry.

In addition, the three joint shares of Liang Wang Li Su, Li Xiaogong and Hou Junji Haining (take the word Begonia and Ning'er) chemical plant have been officially completed and started production in Chang'an County. The main products of the chemical plant at present are soap and soap.

On this day, with the permission of Empress Changsun, Hou Haitang and Li Ning'er came into the palace with a box of soap.

The palace of the eldest grandson empress.

What appeared in front of the eldest grandson queen were two palm-sized objects, the larger one was rectangular, slightly rough, and pale earthy yellow, with simple patterns engraved on them; The other oval is pale pink, with a delicate pattern engraved on it, and it is a plum blossom.

???????? Empress Eldest Sun took a small piece of the object, only to feel that the touch was slippery, and she also smelled a faint aroma. She asked curiously: "Begonia, Ning'er, what is this?" ”?

Haitang instructed the maid to bring a basin of water and demonstrated the use of it to the eldest grandson. Li Ning'er first washed her face with soap, then stretched out her little face in front of the eldest grandson, and asked, "Queen Mother, do you want to smell the fragrance?" ”?

Empress Changsun tasted her face playfully, and said, "Smile: "Xiang, we don't need this Ning'er, our little face is also fragrant." ”?

Haitang said: "The soap that Ning Er used just now is used to wash her face and bathe. ”?

Then she picked up the large piece and said, "This is soap, it's for washing clothes." ”

Begonia took a very dirty white cloth stained with grease, put it in the water, applied it with another thing, and then rubbed it with his hands.

The eldest grandson queen was very interested, and tried it herself, and immediately liked the slippery and comforting feeling brought by the soap, and after washing her face, it was exceptionally refreshing.

During the Tang Dynasty, the poor people used water; Rich people only use some plant flowers or pollen to wash their faces and bathe, and the effect of decontamination is naturally not good.

?? The production process of soap is very simple, that is, it is boiled with grease and caustic soda to decompose into high-grade fatty acids and glycerin, and the former is processed and molded into soap. The production of soap is not complicated, and the soap is made by processing and grinding spices and white soap into the desired shape.

The source of raw materials is also very extensive. Animal fat, pigs, cattle, sheep are fine. Caustic soda is scientifically known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and the main raw material is quicklime. It was already in use in the Tang Dynasty.?

There are six main categories of soaps, ordinary, finely ground, floating, oily, clear, and special soaps. For different consumer groups, the chemical plant develops and produces soap series products.

Empress Changsun immediately ordered the Inner Government to order a large number of products from the Haining Chemical Factory. The sales pitch of Haitang and Li Ning'er brought the first pot of gold to the chemical factory.

Li Shimin recently discovered that the mothers' bodies were particularly fragrant, and when he asked, he found out that they used soap. He washed his face every day and started using soap.

Due to the praise of the palace, soaps and soaps quickly became popular, and the products were in short supply and often out of stock, so that it was difficult to find a soap in the market.

The magnates managed to get their hands on soap, and many people were reluctant to use it as gifts.

Looking at the boxes of money, Li Xiaogong and Hou Junji both smiled from ear to ear. They can't wait to build their fiefdoms into chemical factories, who wants to farm.

Li Xiaogong originally lived a luxurious life, and now, spending money is even more like flowing water.

Hou Junji's mood was also very good, and he felt much less pressure. Since he followed Li Shimin, he has brought out many children and villagers from his hometown, and most of them have died in battle over the years.

The descendants of these people who died in the war were adopted by Hou Junji. He has a limited amount of money and dozens of children, which is very stressful. The income from the chemical plant solved his dilemma at once.

The huge profits of chemical factories have aroused the blush of many people, but their blush is also in vain. The product was invented by His Royal Highness King Liang, and the co-shareholder is the father-in-law of the family.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, were also angry. They also need a lot of money to win over ministers and support their dead parties.

Li Ke said in his heart: "My own brother, if he has such a good thing, he doesn't take it with him, it's just unlikely." He looked for Concubine Yang and sued Li Su. Concubine Yang said that you usually have a bad relationship, and said that you can't help.

Li Tai gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, this king is a scholar, and it is not uncommon for you to smell copper." ”

The crown prince Li Chengqian was very happy - Li Ning'er gave him six boxes of soap and six boxes of soap every month free of charge every month according to Li Su's instructions, so that he could use them to reward his subordinates.

The products of the chemical plant are sold in limited quantities in the Chang'an area, so that the price of the products can be guaranteed. Therefore, the surplus products were sold to other places through the cooperatives in which Li Su and Huo Yi, the largest grain merchant in Chang'an City, took shares. In this way, Li Su can also have a distribution income.

The three treasures that are now popular in Chang'an City are not jewelry, jade, horses, luxury cars, but mirrors, stockings and soap. The first two are from Li Su's Taobao, the number is very small, and it is already sky-high in Datang, and it is unattainable, only the top elites can have it.

The rest is soap, and the fragrance of women after using it makes men enjoy it very much, and naturally it has become a favorite of women.

His Royal Highness King Liang is not in Chang'an City now, and Li Xiaogong and Hou Junji's homes are full of people, and most of them come for soap.

Li Shimin also wrote a note from time to time, asking Li Xiaogong to provide him with some soap as a reward.

Li Xiaogong and Hou Junji originally wanted to set up a few chemical factories in other places, but Li Su had greeted them in advance, how to deal with them.

Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's study.

"Xiaogong, you guy, I don't usually see you show up, why are you here today?" Li Shimin saw Li Xiaogong and said kindly and jokingly.

"The minister thinks that the emperor is here, so he came to see you." Li Xiaogong said.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "You, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

"The emperor's care for the minister is meticulous, the minister is grateful, and a little uneasy, originally, I want to send you some gifts, to express the minister's heart. However, the minister is relatively poor and can't get any decent gifts, so I have to ask you to help him tide over the difficulties. ”

"Oh, you're still poor? I heard that you and Hou Junji have made a fortune, and I'm a little red-eyed. What are the difficulties, let's hear about it? Li Shimin asked with interest.
