Chapter 100: The Prince's Estate?
"Bin'er, come here, I'll introduce you!"
Lan Yu, who was chatting, saw Lan Bin and called in front of him: "This is your brother Lan Chen's wife, Lan Lin, and his three children."
"Come and see your sister-in-law and nephew!"
"Lan Bin has seen his sister-in-law!" Lan Bin saluted.
Lan Lin hurriedly got up and saluted back: "Little uncle, don't be polite! I dare not be a concubine."
She knew that Lan Bin was Lan Yu's only son.
Although her husband Lan Chen is Lan Yu's son, there is a difference between relatives and relatives, and Lan Chen's son and Lan Yu can't be compared with Lan Yu's own son.
What's more, now that Lan Chen is in trouble and in prison, they are orphans and widows, and they have no support.
Just when he was pointing to the Blue Mansion.
She didn't dare to put any sister-in-law's score in front of Lan Bin.
"Sit down, all of you!"
Lan Yu said again: "Bin'er, now your brother-in-law's family has suffered a great calamity, and your brother-in-law is in prison, waiting to be beheaded. And your sister-in-law and nephew are helpless in Beijing."
"I plan to vacate a yard in the backyard for your sister-in-law and your nephews and nieces to live in, what do you think?"
Lan Chen's wife and children are in a very embarrassing position in the Lan Mansion, especially now that Lan Chen is in a cage.
can let Lan Chen's wife and children live on the streets, and Lan Yu can't bear it.
And leaving Lan Chen's wife and children in the house requires Lan Bin's consent.
This is not only because he respects his son, but also because he has not stayed in the house for much time, and in the event of war, he has to fight a war. Lan Mansion still has to rely on Lan Bin to support it.
If Lan Bin minded the identity of Lan Chen's wife and children, he couldn't force it, so he could only find another way to settle it.
"Dad, Brother Chen is both your righteous son and my righteous brother. Now that something has happened to him, how can I, who is a younger brother, stand by and watch!" Lan Bin shook his head.
Lan Yu smiled, "Since you have no opinion, then it's decided!"
"Lan Lin Clan, you take the child to live in peace in the house, if there is anything, just look for us. In the house, you are also half masters, you are welcome!"
What the Lan Lin clan is most afraid of is Lan Yu's father and son, regardless of their orphans and widows, then they have no hope of living, now listen to Lan Yu's father and son.
The worry disappeared in his heart, he cried with joy, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, father-in-law, thank you, Brother Bin!"
"Sister-in-law, please get up!" Lan Bin got up and raised his hand to help.
In addition to thanking him again and again, the Lan Lin clan also pulled his three children, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Lan Yu's father and son to thank him before he stood up and sat down on his seat.
Because of the difference between men and women, Lan Yu and Lan Bin exchanged greetings with Lan Lin's family, so they asked the maid to take Lan Lin's mother and son to the backyard to see Lan Yu's wife and concubine Lan Hu and others, and Lan Hu settled Lan Lin's mother and son.
After Lan Lin's mother and son left, Lan Bin accompanied Lan Yu to talk for a while, then found an excuse to leave the main hall and asked people to summon the housekeeper Lan Wu to his study.
After handing over the principal of Zhu Chun and Zhu Biao to Lan Wu for accounting, he discussed with Lan Wu about soap, soap expansion, raw material supply, sales and other things.
In the end, it was decided that the soap and soap workshop would still be built in the Zhuangzi of Lanfu outside the city. and recruit farmers and homeless people into the workshop to engage in the production of soap and soap.
As for various raw materials, we choose to purchase them from relevant merchants in the early stage, and consider purchasing minerals related to raw materials in the middle and later stages.
In addition to purchasing the grease and flowers needed for soap and soap from merchants, they also began to encourage farmers under the name of Lanfu and surrounding farmers to raise pigs, and to plant all kinds of flowers needed in wasteland.
After making a plan, Lan Bin and Lan Wu began to follow the plan, running back and forth between Zhuangzi and Lanfu outside Lanfu City.
After a busy period of time, soap and soap production workshops were established in Zhuangzi outside Lanfu City, and the recruited farmers and homeless people were in place one after another, and in terms of raw materials, they also signed supply agreements with relevant businessmen.
And the people who tried to make soap and soap were also stationed in the workshop, teaching the recruited farmers, homeless people, and so on.
It is worth mentioning that in order to protect
Dense, soap and soap workshop production, using the assembly line provided by Lan Bin, the development of a special person to co-ordinate, the rest of the workers work in different links, and can only work in their own exclusive links, not free to inquire.
In addition, Lan Bin also relied on the business, with the prince Zhu Biao and the king of Shu, in the name of Lan Yu, the Yongchang Hou, to recruit many veterans to enrich the guard team in Zhuangzi, guarding the soap workshop and glass workshop.
The soap business was on the right track, and Lan Bin also withdrew from the business and returned to the main hall to concentrate on accompanying Zhu Xiongying to study. …………
On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was tired all day, ordered someone to prepare a large wooden barrel, fill it with water, and call a favorite concubine to take a bath and bathe together.
"Your Majesty, the concubine smeared your pancreas and rubbed your back, okay?" The concubine's fingers swept over Zhu Yuanzhang's body.
Zhu Yuanzhang lay on the edge of the barrel, closed his eyes and said, "Although the concubine is good, let's take a nap!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The concubine asked the palace maid to bring the newly purchased soap in the palace and rub pancreas on Zhu Yuanzhang's body.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was napping, suddenly shook his nose and opened his eyes: "What smell, so fragrant?"
"Your Majesty, it's the smell of osmanthus soap!" The concubine smeared soap on Zhu Yuanzhang with all her heart and went back.
"Osmanthus soap?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sniffed it again, became interested, snatched the soap from the concubine's hand, and looked at it: "This is what the prince said, soap!"
Zhu Biao once mentioned to him that the palace had replaced the new pancreas.
How could it get into his eyes as a trivial matter of replacing the pancreas, he casually agreed, and he didn't care too much.
Afterwards, he was used to using pancreas, bathing and changing clothes, and he had never used soap.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he has used soap.
The concubine nodded: "Yes, this is the soap that the prince asked him to buy."
"Recently, soap has been in the palace, and it has become popular. Many sisters and sisters like to use soap, bath and change clothes. I heard that the queen is fond of osmanthus soap!"
"Really? It doesn't seem to be long since this soap entered the palace! It's so popular?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said unexpectedly: "We don't think this soap is much better than the pancreas we used before!"
"Your Majesty, you don't know something, the reason why this soap is popular in the palace is that on the one hand, soap is indeed better than pancreas, and on the other hand, this soap is the property of His Royal Highness the Prince. The prince is good to us aunts, so how can we not cheer us on?" The concubine smiled.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "Soap is the prince's property? Are you sure?"
