After lunch, they returned to the yard arranged by Princess Yu, and the two brothers closed the door and talked.

"Third brother, do you think the elder sister is too furious to grow?" Xu Dongsheng said, "Why is this big thing Xiao Qi talked about almost the whole process? And after he decided, he decided... It seems that it feels like a bit of a playful feeling."

"This is not a joke, my brother!" Xu Dongping drank tea and said with a smile: "The Prince Yu's mansion has been silent for so many years. What is the reason why they have become fragrant buns? On the way we came, we were pestered by a group of merchants, asking us to help us plead and get some share of soap and flower essential oil?"

They were really not the news they heard in Jiangnan, or they were just halfway through landing in the gates of hell and changing boats, and they heard the merchants coming and going.

Everyone praises soap and flower essential oils. Unfortunately, not only is it hard to find a bottle of flower essential oils, but even soaps are rarely seen outside.

Although the soap has been almost two months since it was taken out for trial, the goods released were actually less than 10,000 yuan, and even the capital was not satisfied, so even fewer people were taken to Jiangnan.

Most of these merchants are from several nearby provinces. If you want to go to the capital to get an opportunity, if you can buy some sources of goods and sell them, you will naturally make a big profit.

Many noble children from Jiangnan who came from the capital with the Xu brothers and changed boats at the Gate of Hell.

When they heard that soap and flower essential oil were from Prince Yu's Mansion, they accidentally revealed the identity of the Xu brothers, which led to them being sought after all, and they were desperately trying to get in touch with them.

It is also because of this that Xu Dongsheng and Xu Dongping know how popular soap and flower essential oil are.

Therefore, as soon as they found an opportunity, they begged their sister to give them some share so that they could take it back to Jiangnan for sale.

This is why Princess Yu asked Liu Mingqi to discuss with her just now.

Thinking of this, Xu Dongping sighed, "Second brother, Xiao Qi is obviously the most important person in Prince Yu's Mansion. Why can't you see clearly?"

"I know Xiaoqi is very important, but he is a child after all, so it is inevitable that he will be a little unstable to think about things." Xu Dongsheng smiled bitterly, "Look, just now, he had to send a sea boat to transport it for some reason for a thing called 'Golden Gourd'... After this trip, you won't have to spend three or five thousand taels of silver?"

"What is three or five thousand taels of silver to the current Prince Yu's Mansion?" Xu Dongping asked rebelliously.

"But if he keeps squandering so casually, will Prince Yu's Mansion be fine?" Xu Dongsheng also asked back, "You know, I can't be jealous of my sister or my nephew... I'm just worried that he is young and ignorant, and that he will ruin such a good situation!"

Xu Dongping nodded, "Since ancient times, genius people have been like this. But how old is my sister? This year is only thirty. With the good conditions of Prince Yu's Mansion, it's okay for her to live until she is seventy years old? She can at least take the helm for thirty years and tell Xiaoqi what she can't do.

Thirty-five years later, Xiaoqi is fifty-one years old. If she still can’t mature at that time, then what’s the use of worrying about here? Isn’t it still a waste of money to be prodigal? Anyway, he is the prince and can’t starve to death.”

Xu Dongping broke it apart and said, but Xu Dongsheng didn't say anything anymore.

Xu Dongping understood that compared to himself, his second brother was more like a gentleman, because he had never done any evil things in his life. Although he was a little weak, he was still very down-to-earth.

Therefore, his father decided to let his second brother inherit the title of Haizi, and Xu Dongping agreed.

A family must have a clear division of labor and work together to develop the family well.

He then asked, "Second brother, what should we do about soap and flower essential oil?"

Xu Dongsheng said: "Don't rush to tell others now. We will prepare first after we go back. After the goods arrive, we will start selling them."

Xu Dongsheng's approach is just right, which is different from what Xu Dongping thought.

Xu Dongping thought that the momentum might as well make the Xu family's reputation completely open up so that he can make use of these two products to the maximum extent.

But my brother said so.

Although soap and flower essential oils are very popular now, what if they don’t work in the future?

Or are their counterfeits appearing everywhere, so they are not so popular?

If you are rashly high-profile, it will make people laugh.

It's better to be more stable for the first time.

...

After talking about the matter, the two brothers rested for a while and rushed to the palace.

For the Empress Dowager's birthday, the emperor held a birthday party for three days and three nights in one go, and everyone had to support him.

It’s not just the benefits of dignitaries.

Yesterday, before the two of them entered the capital, they saw a small official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs leading the yamen runners to distribute gifts to every household.

They only distributed one thing, which was the sukigabag, which contained a pack of one pound of salt, a pack of half a pound of candied fruit and a red cloth.

Salt is something that every household must eat. Candied candied fruit can be eaten by both the elderly and the children. The red cloth is 3.3 meters long. It is enough to make a set of clothes for an adult. If you save a little, maybe the mother and the child will do the same.

All food and clothing are given away, this is the kindness of a splash of joy.

Such kindness was only achieved on the Empress Dowager's fifty or sixty birthday, but she didn't expect it to happen again now.

So the people are looking forward to the Queen Mother having such a birthday once a year, how wonderful it would be.

They were happy to receive the gifts.

But I don’t know how much money and food the Ministry of Internal Affairs has spent.

Salt is a filial piety sent directly from Jiangnan by the Minister of Salt. The purchase cost is negligible, but the shipping and so on the way is costing money.

This is even more true for candied dried fruits.

Although rich families often eat candied dried fruits, if you want to make so much, you don’t know how much brown sugar and salt you have to consume.

In contrast, the cost of cloth is lower.

There are farmhouses with weaving cloth everywhere in the north, south and central areas. If you purchase on a large scale, it is a little less than candied dried fruit.

But it's just the cost.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs was not very clean. After a while, the final expense was 2 million taels of silver.

It is equivalent to the value of each sukiga bag that is almost one tael of silver.

I don't know how much moisture there is.

I will not mention this matter briefly.

When Xu Dongsheng and Xu Dongping came to the Taihe Palace Square, there were already many people sitting here.

On the stage, people are concerned about the rest of the show and the rest of the show.

There are hundreds of opera troupes of all sizes in the capital, and there are many famous actors. Not to mention three days and three nights, there is no problem in ten days and ten nights.

So everyone can't see any repetitive operas, so their interest is naturally higher.

He just said hello to the close noble children. The two sat in the seat and were eating fruit and snacks. Xu Dongping touched his second brother, "Look at the back of the right, is Xiaoqi there?"

Xu Dongsheng turned to look over, but who is not his nephew?

But he was sitting around a group of barbarians wearing colorful costumes, which did not match his identity at all.

"He just said that there is a prince from a small overseas country... I think it's here, right?" Xu Dongsheng turned back and said to his younger brother.

"Well, it should be." Xu Dongping smiled slightly, "I'm a little curious. What exactly is the golden gourd that Xiaoqi can get from thousands of miles away?"

...

They read that right, Liu Mingqi is now sitting among a group of tribute envoys.

The tribute and guest envoy is not the same title, but four different types of people - tribute, courten, guest envoy.

These people came to Dakang from abroad and lived for a long time for various reasons.

There were also a group of princes and nobles who came to the Imperial College to study, and Du Lifeng was among them.

Du Lifeng came to study in the Imperial College of the People's Republic of China so that he could go back and inherit the country and manage the people well.

But like many overseas people, he came to the Dakang Dynasty, which was full of flowers and was majestic and majestic, with bright lights at night, and had everything to eat, drink, and have fun. He didn't want to go back.

There is no typhoon that comes right here, nor is there a terrifying super tsunami, nor a heavy rain that makes people unable to sleep all night, let alone worry that the people have no food. If they don’t give them food, they have to settle the score with the king.

Du Lifeng wished that His Majesty the Emperor would give him a small official so that he could live a comfortable life here for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately, he did not have this blessing. He was the only adult prince in his family. His old father was waiting for him to return to his studies and inherit the throne.

Because he loved this country like a fairyland, he also specially asked the Imperial College to change his local name to such a grand name as Du Lifeng.

However, after two or three years of Dakang Dynasty, Du Lifeng's language has improved a lot and learned a lot, but he still has no friends.

Because Du Lifeng is timid and a little restrained, he will naturally not be popular.

Even when everyone went to the Yinshui River Painting Boat next to Tongjing Hall to find the girl, he failed to succeed because he was shy and was unable to bear it.

As a result, Du Lifeng never expected that he was driven away by someone for farting on the birthday of the Empress Dowager last night, but instead became a blessing in disguise and won the favor of a high prince. He was able to talk to him very much.

Originally, Du Lifeng thought that Liu Mingqi was just right, so it would be fine if she chatted.

But today he had just sat in his seat. His majestic and majestic highness, who was followed by eunuchs and guards, sat in front of him, greeted and chatted with him with a smile.

The official who scolded him last night saw the Your Highness and hurried over to greet him with a smile, and looked at him with Du Lifeng, smiling.

This made Du Lifeng feel an inexplicable sense of vanity, and at the same time he felt that he was a real friend of His Highness.

Liu Mingqihua was thinking about getting along with him, so she naturally wanted to be friends with him.

As long as you can successfully bring the sweet potatoes back to Dakang and cultivate them, let alone be a friend, Liu Mingqi and him will be called on him and ask him for a duke by the way.

...

Note: The vast China has always been a place where small countries around us dream of coming. Let’s take the Ming Dynasty as an example. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, “the most vast territory of the Yuan Dynasty, and the surrenders of the distant forests were spread in history, and they sent their sons to school, but they had never seen one.”

The court ordered "Guanglu Temple to provide food, the Ministry of Works to provide clothes, and the Ministry of Revenue to provide food, paper and pen. There are glutinous rice on the day, gifts for the month, and gifts for the seasons... Each government office should provide the Xiang Zhifeng and prepare." (Originally exclusive to Ryukyu students, but later gave it to all international students)

As long as these students studied in the Imperial College, after returning, they were the first to register for their own family or official positions, but to say "I studied in the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty", which made people suddenly admire them.

Nowadays, time has changed, and people are no longer the same. On the contrary, going to a famous foreign university is a kind of honor. I really regret it!
