The silver was placed in the underground warehouse of the main building, and it was made by Dazhu and other several of his most trusted servants.

Then he left ten boxes of silver worth a total of ten thousand taels, and he would deliver it to the soap workshop later.

Even the people in the soap workshop themselves do not know that the liquid separated when they make soap is the most important raw material for making floral essential oil.

The biggest contributor is actually them.

Princess Yu was not willing to praise them openly, but she also gave them some rewards in the name of "the mansion made money, and everyone worked hard and made great contributions."

When everyone went out and stood at the entrance of the ladder, Princess Yu was rarely addicted to it for a while when she looked at the dozens of boxes filled with silver.

Her family is also very difficult to take care of. She has to take care of the food, drink, defecation and urination of hundreds of people and has to consider everything.

As the controller of an ancient mansion, it is not as simple as you only enjoy the service of others.

If you don't give corresponding things, such as warm bonds, money rewards, etc., then even if you are the master, life will not be very easy.

Is the emperor powerful enough?

But Emperor Jiajing was almost strangled to death by the palace maids.

There is also Emperor Jiaqing, hundreds of ordinary people broke into the palace and wanted to kill him. If it weren't for the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, how could these people have survived the numerous guards?

Therefore, if you want a harmonious family and live a good life, thunder means are indispensable, but gifts and rewards are also indispensable.

In the past, Prince Yu's mansion relied on the double salary of the prince, the prince's double salary, five restaurants, and the gifts from the palace. The total amount of money was about 50,000 taels of silver per year.

It looks really a lot, but there are a lot of expenses in the house, two or three hundred people, who eat, drink and wear every day.

There are also monthly money given to them, rewards for festivals, weddings, funeral etiquettes, which are all counted as expenses.

In addition, the various personal etiquettes of relatives in the royal family spent money when they were walking around, so they could not lose their identity.

If you spend this way, you can save ten thousand taels of silver in a year, which is pretty good.

I have been married for almost twenty years and have not even saved 200,000 taels of silver.

It is conceivable how much pressure Princess Yu was in charge of the family before.

Last time, Liu Mingqi led the crowd to beat Duke Lu Minghua, and his family paid 80,000 taels of silver. Although Princess Yu said that it was okay, she felt a little sad.

If your parents are not capable, they will be injuring any trouble to settle a matter for their son. What should I do if there is anything else in the future?

However, she never expected that her son was getting smarter and smarter. Not only did she get three salary from the emperor, but she also invented soap.

Don’t look at a piece of soap that sells only one tael of silver, the profit is almost fifty times, and the more you sell, the more you get.

In the blink of an eye, Prince Yu's mansion earned 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver, which made her feel very relieved.

This is nothing.

Originally it was just a soap production, but after careful refining and preparing by his son, it turned into a floral essential oil, which is of great benefit to the face and the skin of the body.

Then I asked if this flower essential oil could be sold.

So, today's grand occasion came!

If you sell 10,000 bottles, you can actually earn a full 100,000 taels of silver.

Seeing so much silver in front of him, Princess Yu's heart was tested several times.

Happiness came too suddenly, making her feel unreal.

Even now, the money has been placed in the underground warehouse, she suddenly feels very confused.

Princess Yu suddenly turned around and asked Liu Mingqi who was standing beside her, "Son, you said they wouldn't think they were fooled. They were too expensive, so they wouldn't buy it once, right?"

"Of course not." Liu Mingqi smiled, "Not to mention the current customers, even those who have received trial equipment, they will cry and beg us to sell more!"

"But... the profit is too much, and I'm worried that it will be gone in the future..." Princess Yu pulled his hand and said, "Do you think we need to better guard the secret recipes and workshops?"

"The guards have been sent here, and a few meters away is the Embroidered Guard Office, which is safer than our mansion. Mom, don't think about it."

Liu Mingqi smiled, helped her to the ground, and found a chair to sit down.

Princess Yu's feeling of worrying about gains and losses is like a poor demolition household suddenly receiving 10 million in compensation, which makes her feel unreal.

"You're still smart." Princess Yu took a sip of the ice milk tea handed over by Zhu Hongmei, calmed down, and said to her son with a smile: "I can actually come up with a way to buy formal clothes and give trial clothes. In order to get more floral essential oil, they bought ten bottles. If it weren't for everyone like this, I wonder if the total amount of these 10,000 bottles today would be sold out so soon."

Liu Mingqi asked Tian Rong with a slight look on her head, "Best housekeeper, don't you know how many people below sold today, right?"

"I don't know." Tian Rong said: "Only a few of us know, even Lao Zhan doesn't know. As for the guards who transport money, the specific number of slaves in the hall today is not known."

Lao Zhan is the shopkeeper of Miaoweilou, the capital city shopkeeper, today he also borrowed his land to sell flower essential oils.

"Very good, if you hide this secret, let us make a fortune in silence." The boy reminded.

"I see!"

Tian Rong nodded deeply.

Not revealing wealth is the most important principle of a family.

Otherwise, it will easily provoke robbers, and it will also arouse envy, jealousy and hatred by others, which will cause trouble.

After the two finished speaking, Luo Yun said, "Your Highness, will we continue with the discount like today? In this way, we have made a lot less money... After all, according to the current delivery, every two kilograms of formal packaging sold, we have to give one kilogram. In this way, we actually only sold more than six taels of bottles."

"This kind of discount will definitely not last." Liu Mingqi said first: "But in the first month, such discounts will still be continued. After all, we must completely open up the market in Beijing."

Luo Yun nodded, "Will the discount be reduced in the future, or will it be completely gone?"

"It stabilizes after it is reduced to a certain level. For example, if you buy three bottles and get one trial package, or buy five bottles and get one trial package..." Liu Mingqi said, "Although it is a little less, if you buy something, you can get extra discounts, it is psychologically a kind of satisfaction. This satisfaction will more or less affect their purchasing ideas."

"I understand." Luo Yun asked again: "Then if we go to Jiangnan to sell in the future, will we also want this?"

"There is no need for Jiangnan. After gaining fame in the capital, Jiangnan will naturally follow it." Liu Mingqi said, "If Prince Yu's Mansion wants to do business in Jiangnan in the future, we will establish channels and sell them ourselves. If we don't want to, we will buy them and sell them in Jiangnan."

Luo Yun looked at Princess Yu.

She knew that Princess Yu's family was in Jiangnan.

Princess Yu pondered for a moment and said, "No rush, I still have to consider it. If you do business in every province, will it cause many unnecessary trouble? Even if Your Majesty doesn't care now, what about the next one? What about the next one? You can't make a decision just by thinking about it."

The boy expressed great appreciation for his mother's decision.

Only by not being confused by the immediate interests can you go further.

Whether to establish channels to make a lot of money by yourself, or to make money together to make yourself safer depends on how you make a decision.

For Liu Mingqi, it can be accepted no matter what.

Dakang's practice is that it will never slaughter the children of the royal family unless it is absolutely impossible.

In the eighty years since the founding of the dynasty, no one even killed a caverno, and no house searches happened, let alone those who arrested the whole family because of the big business.

If that was true, this country would probably not be so stable.

Think about it, if you can even take this action with your own relatives, what are we outsiders?

If you make some achievements, you will be killed. It would be better to live a life.

In this way, do you dare to work hard when foreign invasions?

The emperors of Dakang all understood these principles, so they have learned them from all generations, so the atmosphere of Dakang Dynasty is now very good.

If you want to break this convention easily, even the emperor, prime minister, six ministers, and all the governors will write letters to stop it.

This is also for sure.

Being someone else today is being me tomorrow.

Therefore, Liu Mingqi is not afraid of the worst outcome, and it is basically impossible to happen.

At most, they are envied.

But as the saying goes, it is mediocre to not attract jealousy!

After retracting her thoughts, Liu Mingqi heard that her mother was telling Luo Yun to sell flower essential oils this month, and asked her to find a suitable inner city shop and buy it to specialize in flower essential oil trading.

Nowadays, the flower essential oil workshop in Prince Yu’s Mansion can make more than 200 kilograms of flower essential oil every day, and more than 1,000 bottles of flower essential oil.

After the lard is separated by heating and chemical reaction, it can in principle achieve a glycerol extraction rate of 5%.

But that is in the laboratory and in modern factories.

Now, the glycerol obtained by the initial method in ancient times was only about one percent of the total loss due to various reasons, including purification, impurity removal, deodorization and other processes.

Liu Mingqi had no choice but to do anything about such waste.

The development of the entire chemical industry cannot be accomplished simply, and requires comprehensive progress driven by the entire discipline.

Now this is the only way. I'll waste a little bit. Anyway, it's not something that everyone in the world wants to use.

Flower essential oil also needs to be soaked in the flowers for about fifteen to twenty days before the fragrance remains in the essential oil and can be sold as a finished product.

So what I sell now is still in stock half a month, or even one or two months ago.

Sell ​​at this rate today. At most seven days, all the inventory will be used up, and then you will have to wait ten days and half a month before a new batch will be released.

It is naturally impossible for Prince Yu’s Mansion to do business like this.

I believe Princess Yu has her own tricks.

...

Note: Regarding the proportion of glycerol secreted after refining lard, I am very knowledgeable after all. I can only search online and find the answers ranging from 4%, 5%, 6% or even 10%. Now take the intermediate value of 5%. If the loss of ancient craftsmanship is included, the yield rate of 1% should be in line with reality. If there is any absurdity, please correct me.
