As early as when he heard that it would take a lot of manpower and material resources, Meng Yang expected that the prefect would say this, and got up when he heard the words, "It is Meng Yang's blessing to be able to contribute to the people of Jinling, rest assured, I will definitely be a good leader." ”

The prefect nodded with satisfaction, "Don't worry, this government will not let you pay for nothing, and when the canal is built, the official will write to the emperor and give you a great credit." ”

Meng Yang bowed to the end, "Thank you, sir." ”

A day later, the government put up a notice to build a canal, recruit people to work, twenty copper plates a day, and take care of a meal at noon.

Now is the time to have nothing to do, most of them are idle at home, and when they hear that there is such a good thing, they come to the county government to sign up.

At the same time, the prefect also gathered together the famous merchants in Jinling City.

This was the second time that the prefect had summoned them, and everyone was excited and guessed the prefect's intentions. But no one cares, it's just a donation of a few thousand taels of silver, but it is worth it to show a good face in front of adults!

The prefect asked people to set up a few tables in the front yard of the government, and there were tea, snacks, melons and fruits on the tables. When everyone arrived, they sat with acquaintances, knocking melon seeds and gossiping.

Since the Meng family was in the business of pills, hot pot base and herbal tea, they were really hot by the merchants of Jinling City, and many people sat down to get close to Meng Yangtao.

One of the chubby men shook the folding fan in his hand, "Brother Meng, I heard that you have built two more workshops in the city, I don't know what kind of business they are?" ”

The rest pricked up their ears.

Meng Yang smiled slightly, "It's a new deal, if Brother Li is interested, you can go to the shop with me to have a look after this side is gone, I have samples over there." ”

It's a new deal again!

Everyone is very envious, and the Meng family doesn't know what luck they have taken in the past two years, and they have made money one after another.

"Okay."

The man who spoke closed his fan, "Brother Meng will wait for me in a while." ”

Meng Yang laughed, "Definitely, definitely." ”

"Your Excellency has arrived!"

With the shouts of his subordinates, the prefect stepped over, and everyone immediately stood up and saluted.

The prefect waved his hand, "Today, the official has a request for you, and the ceremony will be waived." ”

"If you have something to do, even if you have an order, where do you use a word."

"That's, that's it, sir, just ask."

The prefect was very happy, let everyone sit down, and went straight to the point, "The official summoned you here today to let you contribute to the construction of the canal, of course, it all depends on your intentions, 10,000 taels is not too much, and one or two is not too little." ”

The courtyard suddenly quieted down, although they had thought about the amount of money they had donated in their hearts before they came, but now no one wants to be this bird, if they are more, they will be scolded by others, and if they are less, they will leave a bad impression on the prefect.

Meng Yang got up, took out the silver ticket and held it in his hand, "I'll donate 30,000 taels." ”

As soon as he said this, there was a burst of gasping around him, and some people were even choked by their own saliva, wanting to cough but afraid of losing etiquette, they covered their mouths tightly, and their faces were red and their necks were thick.

The man who was talking to Meng Yang just now was even more eager to kick Meng Yang's feet, knowing that the Meng family is rich now, but the limelight is not like this, you pay 30,000 taels, what should they do with the people behind them? Is it possible to pay 30,000 taels? That's a lot of money!

"Okay, master, register it, and wait for the fold in the palace to make a good payment."

mentioned a sum on the fold, that is to say, the emperor could see it, and everyone's hearts moved, and they immediately threw away their complaints about Meng Yang, and rushed to donate money one by one.

"I'll give you 20,000 taels."

"I'll have thirty thousand taels."

"I'm thirty-five thousand taels."

……

Looking at the thicker and thicker silver tickets in the box, the prefect nodded slightly towards Meng Yang, and Meng Yang quietly bent over.

It was already half an hour later when everyone came out, and one by one, not only was they not angry that they had donated more money than expected, but they were red with excitement because they might see their names by the emperor.

The man who was eager to kick Meng Yang's feet just now caught up with him, "Brother Meng, you have to talk and take me to see your new business." ”

When everyone heard this, they also leaned over, "I happen to have time today, why don't we go with us, Brother Meng doesn't mind." ”

"Don't mind, don't mind."

Meng Yang got into the carriage with a smile and led everyone to the shop.

The shopkeeper in the shop had already been informed that the master would bring someone over to try the soap today, and that everything would be ready in the morning.

When the others came, let them into the house.

Everyone couldn't wait for a long time, "Brother Meng, quickly take out the things and let's take a look." ”

Meng Yang signaled, the shopkeeper went out, and after a while, he came in with a few guys holding dozens of small boxes, all of which were hollowed out and very exquisite.

The crowd craned their necks.

The guys put the boxes on the table next to everyone one by one, and everyone eagerly picked them up and opened them, but they didn't see what they were.

"It's ......"

"Soap."

Meng Yang answered with a smile, "It is used for washing hands and bathing, it has different shapes and tastes, you can see that the people around you are in their hands, they are all different." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and it was really different.

"How do you use this thing?"

Someone couldn't wait to ask.

A guy fetched water, Meng Yang made a demonstration, and everyone came to watch. Not only is it clean, but it also leaves a fragrance, and I am amazed one by one.

"This is really a good thing, Brother Meng, when will your workshop start, I want some."

"I want it too."

"I want it too."

……

Achieving the expected effect, Meng Yang remained silent, "This thing is not cheap, you have to think about how much you want." ”

"Of course we know it's not cheap, so don't sell it, just say the price."

Meng Yang stretched out five fingers.

Someone's eyes widened, "Five taels? ”

Meng Yang nodded, "Five taels, this is still the price I give you, it's still expensive for takeaway, don't be too expensive, it's much cheaper than rouge gouache, and my box also costs two taels of silver." ”

The box is indeed exquisite, and everyone can see it.

Someone picked up the soap again, smelled it, looked at it carefully, and asked, "How long does this piece last?" ”

"This varies from person to person, washing your hands ten times a day is not the same as washing your hands once a day, so let's give it to you in your hands, you take it back and try it, if it's good, after my workshop opens, you can come and ask for goods."

The crowd took the soap and left.

After the shopkeeper sent the people away, he came back with a happy face, "Master, there is no need to publicize it now, as soon as our soap is made, it will be robbed like crazy." ”

Meng Yang was also in a good mood, "Thanks to Yue'er for coming up with this idea, that girl, I can't compare to the means of doing business." ”
