Walking towards the county office, he met his master Jia Yu head-on, and when he saw the frost salt in Shen Mufeng's hand, the two chatted, and Shen Mufeng realized that frost salt, like salt and iron, is a monopoly of the imperial court. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The reason why Shen Mufeng has never heard of frost and salt is because Wanshan County was too poor before, even if there is food, it is good, who is picky about whether the pasta is made or not, so the frost salt is only available in the pharmacy.

As for the imperial court monopoly, there is no way to do it, the imperial court costs too much, although the current Great Xia Kingdom is better than the end of the Ming Dynasty, but it is only better, there are countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials, just like the poor land of Wanshan County in the past, there are not a few, relying on taxes to maintain the daily use of the imperial court, that is, if there is no imperial court monopoly, the imperial court may have been overloaded and unsustainable.

However, the problem is, there are more than 20,000 people in Wanshan County, if salt and iron are controlled by the imperial court, why don't you know, is it possible that there are still people who dare to blatantly dig their own corners, and they really think they are muddy.

However, Shen Mufeng was also afraid of making jokes, so he went back and went directly to Song Wanqiu to ask, after all, Song Wanqiu was born in an official eunuch and must understand the key, if someone really dared to dig into his corner, he had to let him vomit ten times over.

Song Wanqiu looked at Shen Mufeng for a long time, and then laughed out loud: "Master, you think a lot about salt and iron is a transaction of the imperial court, but it is only controlled by the state and county governments, and our Wanshan is just a small county town, and we only need to go to the state city to buy it, and it has nothing to do with our county government." ”

After listening to Song Wanqiu's explanation, Shen Mufeng was a little stunned, he had been doing it for a long time, but fortunately he didn't directly ask his subordinates to ask directly, otherwise this joke would be big.

In fact, in other words, the salt works are all purchased by the state, or purchased by the state, and the imperial court said that most of the money is how much it is, and the profits in it will naturally be large.

Shen Mufeng didn't bother with these anymore, anyway, it had nothing to do with him, looking at the five catties of frost and salt in his hand, he thought about it, and directly sent someone to the state city to buy a large number of them, and Shen Mufeng began to make soap himself.

It's not difficult to make soap, but it can't be too big, and if the alkali hurts the skin, Shen Mufeng still understands, so Shen Mufeng spent an afternoon trying to figure out the ratio of oil and frost salt, and secondly, looking at the soap that has been formed, although it is ugly, but the effect is much better than that of soap.

Shen Mufeng calculated a careful account, according to the price of grease and frost salt, a piece of soap that can be held in the palm of an adult's hand, the cost is five copper coins, which also includes the cost of labor and boiling grease and wood, calculated according to a piece of two taels of silver, the profit is forty times, and if it is mass-produced, the cost can be controlled at three copper plates.

Recording the ratio in detail, Shen Mufeng began to design the mold, there is no plastic in this world, so he can only use the firing mold, draw the mold, mark the scale in detail, and then personally send the drawings to the kiln factory for firing.

The requirements of the mold are very strict, the name is still in the name of Wanshan, called Wanshan soap, the mold has poured these words, the whole mold is divided into two layers, can be easily opened, there is a small hole in the top, you can pour the grease of thaw salt, wait for the cold to go.

Don't look at the design of this mold, Shen Mufeng studied it all night, especially when taking the mold, the soap is a little soft after all, and it will be destroyed if it is not good, and what is sold is a good condition, and the good quality will come up.

There is also packaging, Shen Mufeng designed two kinds, ordinary soap is packaged in oil paper, some are packaged in wooden boxes, and the best is in the soap itself, Shen Mufeng has upgraded, called Wanshan soap, adding milk and spices, it will be the most popular among those noble ladies.

A total of 300 molds were fired, and it took a few days to burn out, and Shen Mufeng was in a hurry, so Shen Mufeng transported the soap and soap back to the county office, distributed the soap to relatives, friends and friends, and gave the soap to the maid for the maid to wash and take.

In fact, Shen Mufeng is really not used to soap, so when he got home, he took a bath with soap and bathed with the soap he made.

It will take a few days for soap and soap to be put into production, Shen Mufeng began to recruit a large number of carpenters, and nearly 100 carpenters in Wanshan County were all summoned by Shen Mufeng at once, and asked these carpenters to make wooden boxes first, don't have soap but don't even have a packaging box.

Told the carpenter the specifications of the wooden box of soap, the price of a wooden box recycling is a copper plate, ordinary carpenters can make more than ten a day, and more than 20 can be made quickly, don't underestimate these 20 boxes, that is, 20 copper plates, a month is six taels of silver, which is more than the kiln factory, and it is also a technical work that does not work.

The carpenter's high salary was immediately spread out, and now it was good, the entire Wanshan County was a sensation here, a carpenter can earn six taels of silver a month, and Nima is more profitable than working in the county office!

Even Jia Yu and Ma Sanqiang are a little envious, a master, a canonical history, only five taels of silver a month, some carpenters can earn six taels of silver, and even some earn seven taels, this is a carpenter! When did a carpenter make so much money!

The soap workshop requisitioned Zhang's mansion, after all, Huang Qiuling lived in the county government every day, and Zhang's mansion was empty, so he produced soap for Shen Mufeng, but when the soap was poured out of the mold, the girl jumped up excitedly, needless to say, the attraction of soap to women needless to say, Huang Qiuling is not exempt from vulgarity, but after the excitement, Huang Qiuling deeply understood the fatal attraction of this thing to women.

And since he learned the cost from his husband, Huang Qiuling seems to have seen a huge mountain of gold and silver, Huang Qiuling is not short of money, and he doesn't have too many thoughts about money, but Rao is so, Huang Qiuling still lost sleep that night.

Of course, money is only one aspect, on the other hand, because of her husband's trust in herself, she handed over such an important thing to herself, which made Huang Qiuling not moved.

On this day, the soap was finally put into production, the grease was sent by the Hunters' Guild, the output was not very much, and only nine hundred pieces could be made in a day, even so, Huang Qiuling was still taken aback after careful calculation, three hundred pieces were exquisite soap, and five taels of silver were a piece, so it was one thousand five hundred taels. Ordinary soap is two taels of silver, and the total value is one thousand and two white taels of silver, and one day is two thousand seven hundred taels of silver.

Two thousand seven hundred, and this is only one day's output, and with the increase of molds, the number of manufacturing will also increase, plus the almost negligible cost, this is a more profitable business than grabbing money.

Looking at Huang Qiuling's appearance of settling accounts with his fingers, Shen Mufeng hugged Huang Qiuling's slender waist and said with a smile: "Settle accounts!"

Huang Qiuling was startled, and found that it was Shen Mufeng who patted his chest, but when he saw his master's expression, his pretty face couldn't help but get hot.

Shen Mufeng didn't dare to be too flirtatious, that is, he was addicted, looked at the stacked soap, sighed and said: "Soap is to make money, but unfortunately most of the money is not ours!"

"I mean ...... master"

"Alas, you can't do it without a backer! Otherwise, those talented wolves, tigers and leopards will be able to swallow you and not even have a bone left!"

Shen Mufeng said what he said from his heart, but when these words reached Huang Qiuling's ears, the roots of his ears turned red: "Master, I, I won't let others swallow it, I'll let you eat ......" The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally I couldn't hear it.

Shen Mufeng smiled, but he couldn't wait to give himself two handfuls, what is this called! This is his wife, but it has fallen to such a point now, Lao Tzu is not Liu Xia Hui!
