A few days later, as Geng Jingzhong expected, the name of perfume was indeed known in Fuzhou, and there were voices talking about perfume everywhere in the streets and alleys.

"Hey, have you heard, there is a perfume from Jingnan Wangfu, which is even better than the fragrance of rouge. Have you seen that? A drinker in the tavern said loudly.

"No", "No", "Haven't seen"

"I haven't seen it, but I've smelled the fragrance of the perfume, it's rose-scented, and the fragrance is really indescribable, it smells better than real roses!"

"How have you ever smelled perfume, only the palace and the wives of the officials have it, just you? Could it be that you hooked up with some adult's concubine! ”

"Hahahaha" There was laughter in the tavern!

"You ---- my sister is the favorite personal maid of the wife of Lord Liang of the Fuzhou Governor, and the lady likes jasmine, so she gave my sister the rose fragrance. Yesterday, when my sister came home, she told me and raised her hand to smell me. Quite smelly! ”

"Yo, you can still have a relationship with the prefect, disrespectful and disrespectful!" "Hey, disrespectful, disrespectful" "Come and toast you." There was a compliment all around, in the eyes of the small people, the prefect is a great official, and it is quite remarkable to be able to have a relationship with him.

"You're welcome!" The corners of the drinker's mouth were raised, and he was not only proud.

There are more than one similar scenes, and the real excitement is the families of those rich businessmen, because the princess is sent by the official family, although the rich businessmen have money, they have no social status. The wives, concubines, and daughters of the family are all inquiring about the news of perfume, and they can't get a drop if they want to ask for it. Occasionally, someone gets a small bottle through guò relationship, and they will also make a big deal of it and show it. Arouse a burst of envy. It also makes the perfume more hot with your bare hands. As a result, perfume has also become synonymous with high society.

At a time when the name of perfume was widely spread, a news of an explosion instantly detonated the whole city.

King Jingnan's daughter-in-law, the wife of the prince, Aixin Jueluo-斓xi, and Princess Heshuo, opened a perfume shop on the most prosperous Watergate Street in Fuzhou. The name is 'Princess Fang', and there is a princess gold seal on the plaque. Princess Shop specializes in perfumes, rouge gouache and other women's items, and women are only allowed to enter.

This news is like a dry piece of wood, which completely detonates the enthusiasm of the female dependents. Although the high price of perfume has stopped many ordinary women, it cannot stop the female dependents of wealthy merchant families at all. Although the price of the products in Princess Place is high, each piece is exquisitely made, and more importantly, each item has the unique mark of the princess design. The things of Princess Fang represent identity and status, and in modern terms, it means to be tall.

"Shizi, from the opening to today, in just three days, Princess Fang has sold more than 10,000 bottles of various perfumes, plus other goods, in just three days, we will earn 48,000 taels of silver." Geng Ming, the chief housekeeper in the palace, Geng Hou's grandfather, is also an old man in the mansion, holding the account book and excitedly reporting to Geng Jingzhong, his hands trembling uncontrollably. At this moment, he simply admired Geng Jingzhong's five-body throw. "The son of the world is too wicked, this is simply robbing money. What kind of business can be more profitable than this! ”

"How can there be so many, more than 10,000 bottles? Are there so many people buying? Geng Jingzhong was also surprised!

"Shizi, there are still a lot of rich people in Fuzhou City, and many officials and the daughters of wealthy businessmen have bought more than a dozen bottles at a time, and some wealthy businessmen have sent people to buy hundreds of bottles at a time." Geng Ming reported truthfully.

"I see!" Geng Jingzhong knew that he had walked into a dead end, thinking that people now would buy one bottle at a time, just like future generations. "Do we have enough stock?" Geng Jingzhong couldn't help asking.

"Not too much stock. Shizi, according to the current situation, plus we are still producing, it is enough to sell for seven days. ”

"Seven days, it doesn't matter, I don't think the sales volume will be as much in the next few days as in the first few days, and our goods should last for ten days. But we can't just sit back and let people go down and buy flowers, and at the same time send some of the farmers in the Wangfu Grange to start planting all kinds of flowers, and there are also mountains and slopes that can't grow food, so buy more flowers for planting. ”

"Yes, the old slave will order it immediately." Geng Ming immediately prepared for action.

"Come back, there is one more thing, we will open chain stores in all provinces and counties in Fujian, and tell our subordinates to start preparations."

"The old slave remembers."

In the following days, the name of perfume quickly swept through the whole of Fujian like a flood, and even affected Guangzhou and Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. There are also many discerning businessmen who buy perfumes and sell them on a large scale to make a profit. This also led the name of the perfume to spread outward at a faster rate.

"Master, why don't we sell the perfume directly to those merchants and let them help sell it to the outside, but open our own shop?"

"I have my own plans, Ah Hou, let me ask you, how does the master treat you?" Geng Jingzhong's face became stern.

Ah Hou saw Geng Jingzhong so solemn, and knew that things were extraordinary, and immediately replied: "Master, why do you ask that?" Ah Hou has grown up with you since he was a child, and Ah Hou will do whatever you say! ”

"Yes, we grew up together, read and play together, and we are brothers in the name of master and servant. Originally, I was going to tell you about this later, but since you asked, I will sue you. Geng Jingzhong paused, "We, as well as Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, although they have strong strength in heavy armies, they consume a lot of food and salary in the imperial court every year, you should know this." More importantly, we are Han Chinese, and we are a threat to the imperial court, especially Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, who has never been settled. Sooner or later, the imperial court will definitely take action against us, so I decided to use the army as the basis that it will not be collected at night, and the cronies of the royal palace will set up secret agents to hide in shops in various places, just like the brocade guards of the former Ming Dynasty, who are responsible for finding out all kinds of news in case of accidents. You're steady, and I'm going to let you take care of it. Can it be done? ”

"Don't worry, I will do my best to do this well." Ah Hou nodded and responded solemnly.

King Jingnan's influence in Fujian was still enough, and Geng Jingzhong's princess shop quickly spread all over Fujian, and every state, prefecture, and county had opened a princess shop. It's just a difference in size. And Geng Jingzhong's spies also spread all over Fujian, and began to send all kinds of information to Geng Jingzhong. For example, the geographical situation of the mountains and rivers in various places, the number of troops stationed in the city, who led the troops, the local heroes, the surname, the name, and so on-------

"Shizi, in the past month, the princess shop has sold more than 150,000 bottles of perfume, plus other items in the store, a total of 357,400 taels of silver, expanding the workshop, purchasing materials, opening a shop, purchasing hillside land, and labor, a total of 123,200 taels have been sold, and a total net profit of 234,200 taels has been made this month! Big harvest, presumably there will be more next month. Geng Ming held the account book and reported excitedly.

"It's hard work Mingbo, it's okay to tell your subordinates to do some things, you always have to pay attention to your body." Geng Jingzhong raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

"The old slave is not hard, but has nothing to do, my old bones will be idle. Hehe. ”

"You go and rest when you get old, I'll talk to Ah Hou."

"Yes, I'm a slave!" After saying that, Geng Ming retreated.

"Ah Hou, how are things doing?" Seeing Geng Ming walking away, Geng Jingzhong immediately asked.

"Master, all the prefectures and counties in Fujian have been laid, and the brothers have begun to take root in various places, and there will be a steady stream of information soon. The whole of Fujian is under our control. ”

Ah Hou was very excited when he talked about the results in January.

"Well, you did a good job, in the future, out of our Fujian province, we don't have to care about the perfume sales in other places, sell the perfume to all kinds of merchants, select a general agent in each province, we sell the perfume directly to him, and other merchants don't get other provinces to sell. Just ask them to pay a fee for each of them. ”

"In terms of the capital, leave it to ourselves, and open a few more stores in the area under the jurisdiction of the capital, not only the princess fang, but also the grain and oil stores as a cover."

"Write it down, I'll immediately select someone to do it!"

"Come back, the capital area is not the other, you still have to go in person, you can open up the situation in the capital through the relationship of Princess Guò, and if necessary, you can ask the second and third brothers for help! brought 300,000 taels of silver, of which 50,000 was given to the second and third brothers, and the rest was used to deal with the officials in the capital. Especially Sony and Aobai, I want to give a generous gift! You can do the rest. ”

"But master, when I'm gone, how can you do if there is no one around you?"

"It's okay, just let Mingbo transfer two."

"Okay, I'll just look at it, I'll definitely get things done!"
