Ma Li, Ma Ya, and Ma Liya prepared lye, commanded the servants and catchers on rotation, and processed various grades of soap.

Soap made from animal oil is classified as regular soap.

Soap made from animal oil and vegetable oil is classified as an intermediate soap.

Soap made with horse oil, vegetable oil, and perfume is designated as the best soap.

Ordinary soap is boxy and unsightly, weighing about 200 grams.

The intermediate grade is white and clean, with lines left by molds on the surface, and weighs about 150 grams.

The best soap is pale yellow in color, looks a little crystal beautiful, exudes a faint fragrance, and weighs about 100 grams.

Looking at the three grades of soap, Chen Yu packed sixty bottles of perfume and one hundred and twenty pieces of superb soap into three parts.

"Lord Chen." Seeing the other party walk in, Zhu Zhengfei hurriedly got up.

"Clerk Zhu, send someone to send these three boxes, as well as this letter, to the official book." Chen Yu said.

"Lord Chen, what's in the box?" Zhu Zhengfei asked curiously.

"The soap that the official asked the foreigners to make." Chen Yu said.

"Foreigners?" Zhu Zhengfei asked suspiciously.

"It's alien...... Such a good thing should be offered. Chen Yu explained.

"The lower official will arrange for someone to transport it." Zhu Zhengfei said.

"This official is going to have a banquet in the Xiangmanlou at night, and the patriarchs of the three major families will be entertained, you can arrange it." Chen Yu said.

"Yes, Master Chen." Zhu Zhengfei said.

After leaving the county office and coming to the farm, I saw ten prisoners leading cattle to turn over the ground, and the remaining forty prisoners wielding hoes.

"Zhao Xiancheng, are these prisoners lazy?" Chen Yu asked.

"Lord Chen, they are very serious in their work, and it is estimated that they will be able to turn over the rest of the land the day after tomorrow." Zhao Zhiyuan said.

"Hmm." Chen Yu nodded, and said, "In the evening, this official will invite the patriarchs of the three major families to ......."

"Yes, Master Chen." Zhao Zhiyuan was puzzled in his heart, and responded calmly.

At dusk, incense fills the third floor of the building, in a private room.

Chen Yu sat directly above, Zhao Zhiyuan sat on his left, and Ma Wencai sat on his right......

After eating and drinking for a while, Lin Fan asked, "Master Chen, I don't know why you called us over?" ”

"Today, this official is here to guide you to make a fortune." Chen Yu said.

"Lord Chen, if you have anything to do, please tell me, if you need money, we don't have more, and we still have a few thousand taels of silver." Lin Fan looked at the other two and said with a smile on his face.

"Dian Zhu, let people come in with a basin of cold water." Chen Yu said.

"Yes, Master Chen." Zhu Zhengfei nodded in response, turned around and walked out.

"Lord Chen, what is this?" Lin Fan asked in surprise.

"I don't know the three, who wants to try the soap developed by this official?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.

"I'll come." Hao Meng said.

"Please also ask Patriarch Hao to get some oil on your hands." Chen Yu said.

Hao Meng didn't think much about it, took a piece of fat meat with chopsticks, put it in his hand and rubbed it again.

Chen Yu handed the other party a piece of ordinary soap, and then said, "Wet your hands with water, apply soap, and wash it with cold water." ”

Hao Meng smeared soap, washed his hands in cold water, and said unbelievably: "Good thing." ”

Seeing this, Lin Fan and Li Shigui also tried it with soap.

"Is soap any good?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.

"It's more convenient than soap, and it's cleaner to wash." Lin Fan said.

"Seven copper coins a piece, do you want it?" Chen Yu asked again, the soap that costs three copper coins is sold for seven copper coins, and the profit is enough to have four copper coins, and the profit is as high as more than 100 percent.

Of course, even ordinary soap can be easily sold for dozens of copper coins, and the people who farm the land can't afford it, so small merchants and peddlers have the money to buy soap, not to mention those high-ranking officials and nobles.

The cost of intermediate soap is comparable to that of ordinary soap, and the cost of the best soap is only ten copper coins.

If the businessmen all use the best soap, the emperor, the prime minister of Zuo, and the secretary of the ministry are useless, once he is impeached by the imperial history, he can't explain it even if he is reasonable, and he can't play if he solves the problem by force.

With his current strength, in the current world, he can easily solve any problem, he just wants to experience the feeling of being an official, and he has no idea of being an emperor when he wastes time to earn the best divine stones.

With a slap on the face, the Hu people became extinct, the divine consciousness swept away, and the alien race perished...... After the global unification, he could only wake up and wake up, and under the awe of everyone, he could only sleep.

"I'll buy as much soap as Lord Chen has." Lin Fan said proudly.

"This kind of soap is ordinary soap, such an intermediate soap, twenty copper coins a piece, which of you wants?" Chen Yu asked again.

"I want to."

"I want it too."

"I want some." The patriarchs of the three major families scrambled to say.

"How much regular and intermediate soap do you need?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.

"Master Chen, I want 400,000 pieces of ordinary soap and 40,000 pieces of intermediate soap." Lin Fan thought about it and said, he wanted to buy 10,000 yuan to test the water, but he felt embarrassed, so he decided to buy 3,600 taels of silver soap.

The magistrate himself does business, so he has to buy something for a few thousand taels of silver.

"Lord Chen, I want 500,000 pieces of ordinary soap and 50,000 pieces of intermediate soap." Hao Meng said.

"Master Chen, I want one million pieces of ordinary soap and 100,000 pieces of intermediate soap." Li Shigui said.

"Okay." Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction.

"Lord Chen, I'll buy another two million pieces of ordinary soap and one million pieces of intermediate soap." Lin Fan said.

"Patriarch Lin, the three million pieces of soap you added will only have to wait until the next batch." Chen Yu said.

"Listen to your lords." Lin Fan said.

After a full meal and a good business, the three patriarchs took their leave.

"One million pieces of ordinary soap, 190,000 pieces of intermediate soap, after deducting the cost of more than 6,200 taels of silver, and the profit of more than 10,600 taels of silver, you don't have to worry about the next few months." Chen Yu said.

"Lord Chen, can you really make so much money?" Zhao Zhiyuan asked in disbelief.

"Starting tomorrow, all those who take turns to rest will catch fast and serve ...... Soldiers can go to work in soap workshops and be paid according to the corresponding salary. Chen Yu said.

"Lord Chen, the soap workshop is your property, and the silver you earn is also yours, and our money should be distributed by the imperial court." Ma Wencai reminded.

"Wrong, the soap workshop is our industry, the silver treasury was lost by the former magistrate, and it is not easy for everyone, and we have to support our families...... Chen Yu said in a high-sounding voice.

"Lord Chen, do you want to share dividends?" Zhao Zhiyuan asked dumbfounded.

"The soap workshop belongs to Jinghe County, and the husband is also a public official." Chen Yu said.

After the four of them discussed at the county office, they each went home.

The next day, the patriarchs of the three major families asked people to send the money.

One by one, the servants who took turns to rest and catch fast...... Soldiers, energetic in making soap.

Jinghe County is located on the border of the Great Xia Empire, and the north is the territory of the Hu people, and the prices of various animal oils are very cheap.

As for lye? When the ashes of plants and trees are boiled, it is alkaline water, and the salt brine used to make tofu can be turned into alkaline water by processing it slightly.

There is no shortage of raw materials to make soap, and there is also plenty of manpower, so that the soap workshop can make more than 200,000 pieces of soap every day.
