Chapter 538: Cosmetics

Along the way, I also came to Chang'an smoothly.

The paving of the road from Penglai to Chang'an was not completed so quickly, and most of the road behind it was a bumpy dirt road.

Yan Ming and Han Yan directly abandoned the frame and replaced it with a war horse.

Everyone rode to Chang'an, and the bone joints were bumped and sore on the horseback.

Liu Che knew that they had worked hard all the way. Just simply greeted the two henchmen and let them go back to rest.

Han Yan, who has been away from Chang'an for many years, is coming back for the first time.

Chopper Chang'an City changes, he can't help but want to walk around.

Yan Ming doesn't have such a good mind.

After he presented his recital, he went back to the old mansion of the Tian family to rest.

For a while, he was either sailing on the boat, or he was jolting immediately, which really made him choke on hard work.

It's just that he didn't rest for long, and he was called over by someone sent by Princess Pingyang.

The idea I gave to Princess Pingyang last time, the cosmetics made of spices and gouache have been drummed up.

To say that Princess Pingyang's methods are still very clever, and she has perseverance.

He really sent people to Lingnan to purchase a lot of spices and came back.

After Yan Ming chatted with Pingyang, he learned that this matter had the support of the emperor. Binh Duong has been approved to establish its own sourcing point in Lingnan.

In this way, a fixed amount of spices will be delivered every month.

Gouache cosmetics made from various spices were not on the market in large quantities at first.

Instead, Princess Pingyang, as a woman, first communicated with the women of various aristocratic and wealthy families in Chang'an City.

These gouache spices, when put on the face, can indeed make people look young and beautiful.

Think about the women of later generations, before and after makeup and makeup removal. Just know the magical effect of cosmetics.

Although it resembles a disguise, the women enjoy it.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that women are those who please themselves.

The husbands and gentlemen of these wealthy ladies are even more obsessed with women.

The so-called full warm thoughts** are probably so.

In order to let their husbands come to their beds more often, the ladies began to buy cosmetics.

Of course, they saw the effect of Princess Pingyang's makeup, so they made a decisive move.

Cosmetics, in the upper class of the Han Dynasty, quickly opened up the market.

Nowadays, cosmetics can only circulate in the upper class.

After all, folk women and daughters-in-law are all busy in the fields, and there is no makeup environment in later generations.

Pingyang chattered with Yanming about the development of the cosmetics market.

It is said that semicolons have now been opened in various urban districts.

All this is naturally supported by Liu Che behind him.

The royal family has tasted the sweetness of doing business, and the strength of this support is unprecedented.

It is said that Liu Che also rewarded various cosmetics in the harem.

Those harem concubines will naturally quietly send some cherished things to their mothers.

In this way, the royal role model and leadership came out.

With something royal endorsed, you can't go wrong with sales.

What's more, the audience for this cosmetics is women who love vanity.

Since ancient times, women's money is easy to earn.

Although society has always been dominated by men, women who have been subordinate to men for a long time have played a role in almost every era.

Spending a few dollars for a woman and buying a set of cosmetics has become the rule of the Han aristocracy.

Yan Ming thought of the popularity of cosmetics, but he didn't expect Pingyang to do so well and so quickly.

"Master Hou doesn't know that in the past few months, the money made from cosmetics is about to catch up with furniture." Princess Pingyang said.

Yan Ming smiled: "I naturally know. This is just the beginning, and in the future, it will get better and better. ”

"I don't know what your head thinks." Pingyang looked at Yan Ming lying on the bed and buried his face in his chest.

"It's just a little bit of a grapevine. Cosmetics are consumables. And once a woman uses it, she can't do without it. To make a secret recipe, you have to constantly research and keep it secret. It is unlikely that this industry will be copied. It's different from furniture. Yan Ming said.

Princess Pingyang sighed and said, "What you said is extremely true. I heard that there are already imitation furniture in the market. It's not difficult, and a carpenter with some skill can make it at a glance. ”

"Hmm." Yan Ming's hand was dishonestly playing with Pingyang's jade rabbit, humming in his mouth.

Princess Pingyang said: "Your Majesty is going to block several workshops that imitate furniture, and if necessary, you will kill the head." ”

Yan Ming's hand suddenly let go, and Mimeng's eyes also opened, and Zhengse said, "Absolutely not." ”

Princess Pingyang was stunned for a moment and said, "These businesses are all done by the royal family, why do you want to let go." I don't think there's anything wrong with it. ”

Yan Ming shook his head and said, "Furniture business, don't worry about it anymore." It's better to concentrate on making cosmetics. ”

"It's hard to spread things all over the Han Dynasty, and you can ...... a word I am not reconciled...... "Pingyang has some small grievances.

Yan Ming put his hand back and said, "Money, you don't lack money." And with your identity, even if you don't do these things, you live a much better life than ordinary people. This time you listen to me, I promise to make another profit for your furniture workshop and storefront. ”

Princess Pingyang looked at Yan Ming for a while, nodded and said, "Listen to you, it's always right." ”

"Good." Yan Ming took her into his arms.

"Shi'er is not in Chang'an, if you go to Chang'an in the future, it will be good to come to me directly. Don't ask me to send someone to call you every time, like, as if I ......" Pingyang didn't continue.

Yan Ming really understood what she was going to say, and said with a smile: "Okay." In the future, when the time comes, I will come directly. Blood is thicker than water, and it is not something that can be changed by a surname. ”

Pingyang nodded.

The two of them thought about what would happen to Cao Shi when he grew up, and they didn't speak.

Yan Ming was indeed tired, and he had just tossed with Pingyang again, and at this time, he was sleepy, and he couldn't hold back anymore, and snored softly.

Pingyang lay on his side and watched Yan Ming fall asleep.

The lazy and leisurely days are always so easy to pass.

When Yan Ming woke up, it was already the third day of the second day.

He rolled over, looked at the sunlight outside, and found that Pingyang was no longer on the bed.

It seemed that he heard the sound of Yan Ming getting up, and the maidservant outside immediately brought the water to clean the face.

Yan Ming picked up a warm hand towel and wiped his face, then said, "Why don't you wake me up." I have to enter the palace today. ”

The maidservant said: "The princess said that there is a message from Your Majesty's side, let the Hou Ye wake up and go over again, don't worry." ”

Yan Ming got up and said while getting dressed, "You make trouble." ”

Although Liu Che said so, he couldn't do it.

He gets dressed quickly. The maidservant over there prepared breakfast early.

Yan Ming asked the hour first, only to know that although the sun outside looked very bright, it was actually morning at this time.

There's no hurry.

After eating breakfast, Shi Shiran said hello to Pingyang and rushed to Weiyang Palace.
