The era of Jianyu's story is the early years of the Ming Dynasty - although it is not detailed in the plot, it is located in Nanjing, and when the drizzle was named the Minnu Zeng Jing, the tombstone was engraved with the year name of 'Hongwu', and this era name was the year name of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, as a world with martial arts and internal strength, the history of the Sword Rain World naturally cannot be exactly the same as reality. After all, even if the power of martial arts is no match for thousands of troops, these masters with internal strength still have the ability to influence the course of history.

Butterflies can stir their wings and influence storms thousands of miles away...... What's more, these martial arts people who live in the world of Sword Rain have influenced the entire world by force for generations?

Shao Cheng, who had become a legal merchant of the Ming Dynasty, searched around in the north of Nanjing in the next few days, and set up a commercial and residential shop with a backyard near a small street similar to that in his memory.

At this time, it was still the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and the population that died during the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty had not yet fully recovered. Therefore, even the shops in the city of Nanjing are not expensive.

Of course...... This price is only relative to Shao Cheng, who carried a small bag of "little goldfish". It is absolutely difficult for ordinary people in this world to buy a shop in this "golden location at the foot of the Son of Heaven".

Bought a shop.

can only stay here for three years, and Shao Cheng, whose main purpose has already been placed on the martial arts cheats, is naturally impossible to get up early and be greedy for darkness in person.

Fortunately, three years of experience in Wong Fei Hung's world has given Shao Cheng experience in running business in ancient times. took out the soap process that had already been ripe, and hired a guy who was in a state of despair and had a decent character. In less than half a month, the first batch of 'flower soaps' was on the market.

Shao Cheng is very particular about hiring people.

One was a down-and-out man -- a few of the men were landless peasants, poor people who had been skillfully taken from the fields outside the city of Nanjing.

Shao Cheng lent a helping hand when they were most down, this "grace of life", not to mention the ancient times of "loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and righteousness", even among modern people, there are not many villains who can really fight back.

The second is to drag the family with the mouth, and the character is middle and upper.

I don't want the kind of goods that I have enough to eat, the whole family is not hungry, or I don't care about my parents, wife and children at all. In terms of character, it is even easier to know in this era when people live next to each other - a little inquiry will make it clear whether a person has vices or not.

With these two points.

Shao Cheng is naturally assured to inform the simplest floral soap and unflavored soap formulas, division of labor and order, and then go to each link to be responsible for the way firmly grasp the whole business in his hands!

Good things are naturally not afraid of not being able to sell.

Especially at the foot of the Son of Heaven, although Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born poor, is not extravagant, but in this capital, which of the dynasties has less rich people?

plus Shao Cheng's first batch of 500 pieces of flower soap that he gave to various mansions for free...... The fame in this market was opened up at once.

The price positioning is also very reasonable - it will not be cheap enough to make the big officials and elites feel that it is out of class, nor will it be too expensive to discourage the middle class.

Coupled with a sensational "germ theory" and the follow-up "body odor theory", this soap suddenly opened up a huge market among the middle class and wealthy class!

After all, in this era of poor medical technology, the child mortality rate is still not low. Although the ancients may not have understood the theory of "washing hands frequently, boiling water, and sterilizing in the sun", this kind of soap deliberately spread by Shao Cheng and is indeed very effective for cleaning still caused a lot of craze in Nanjing.

The ancients were just limited in their horizons, and they weren't fools - not to mention that most of the soap's audience was middle-class people who could read and write, or at least had studied private school for a few years, plus many recommendations from Chinese medicine research in the city, as well as the soap's immediate cleansing effect and pleasant floral fragrance...... Where is there any reason why this monopolistic business is not popular?

Looking at the modern demand for soap, you can see how easy this business would be in the case of ancient monopolies.

Soon, Shao Cheng expanded his industry, planted a plot of land by a river in the city, and built a soap factory with a novel design for the people of this era......

Using the means of employing poor people, dividing labor assembly lines, and keeping some formulas secret, Shao Cheng still firmly held the exclusive right to produce flower soap under the watchful eyes of many businessmen.

He did not forget to strengthen his own safety when he began to make money every day - you must know that although Zhu Yuanzhang was in power these years, he was really as cold as a cold winter when he treated corrupt officials and corrupt officials! The officials who peeled and filled the grass in the yamen were the role models and alarm bells of their successors...... The officials of this era are not the greedy and shameless faces of the late Ming Dynasty that even sold the country, but after all, they are "two mouths of officials", and Shao Cheng, who has dealt with those corrupt officials in the late Qing Dynasty for three years, naturally knows many precautions.

Therefore, Shao Cheng still specially made friends with some officials, and even now he has no fame, and it is relatively easy to make friends with scholars.

Compared with the greedy and wolf-hearted officials who have decayed the whole country, the officials under Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher's knife in the early Ming Dynasty are as pure as little white rabbits!

In this atmosphere, Shao Cheng did not dare to really "go against the trend of the times" to throw money and corrupt officials - for fear that he would be targeted by Zhu Yuanzhang's brocade guards.

But on weekdays, it is still okay to give some gifts, coal, or "vouchers" from grain and oil stores and silk villages as friends.

Under Shao Cheng's deliberate friendship, he soon had some connections in Nanjing, from the chief housekeeper of Zaifu's family to a small patrolman on the street.

Besides.

Shao Cheng naturally will not be mean to his subordinates - not only the salary is okay, but also there is a "piece salary", which is a relatively new way of salary increase for this era, as long as you work hard, diligently, and seriously, you can live a good life.

In order to strengthen the loyalty of these subordinates, Shao Cheng also bought a piece of land near the factory, built a factory family compound and a "welfare house" consisting of two bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room, and rented them to the factory workers at almost free prices.

Under this kind of operation, Shao Cheng's reputation as a "benevolent businessman" soon spread, and even the merchants who heard that soap came to buy it were amazed and sighed after visiting the factory, the family home and the various welfare systems set up by Shao Cheng.

A qiē is on the right track.

Shao Cheng, who was finally free, did not change his residence, and still lived in the backyard of his original small shop in the north of Nanjing.

Others don't know why, but this "benevolent businessman" lives a simple life.

In fact, only Shao Cheng himself knows...... The purpose of his stay here is to wait for the upcoming female killer Drizzle!

Of course......

At this time, a tombstone has been erected, and she should have been called "Zeng Jing" as a civil daughter.
