In recent times, as teams of chambers of commerce have entered various places, soap has gradually appeared in various counties in Guangyuan.
However, the female shopkeepers trained by Tang Xiaobei did not have the support of Jin Feng's connections and did not have Tang Xiaobei's ability, so the promotion work was not progressing as smoothly as Tang Xiaobei's in Guangyuan.
But gold always shines, and with the efforts of the female shopkeeper, the soap's influence among wealthy families in various counties gradually increased.
People have a herd mentality. Once something becomes famous, it will be much easier to sell.
County Lieutenant Zhao smelled a pleasant jasmine scent on his concubine a few days ago, so he asked about it.
Then I learned that soap actually cost five taels of silver a piece. His concubine had saved up her monthly money for a long time to buy one piece.
County Lieutenant Zhao originally thought that not many people would buy such expensive things, but he underestimated the extent to which women loved fragrance and the comparison mentality among the ladies of wealthy families.
The next day I went to the street to do errands and happened to meet a female shopkeeper selling soap. When he saw a dozen maids lining up to buy, County Lieutenant Zhao was a little confused as to why someone would spend so much money to buy a soap.
thing?
It's a pity that this is true. He only stood on the street for a cup of tea and saw that more than sixty boxes of soap were sold.
That’s more than three hundred taels of silver!
Lieutenant Zhao was moved at that time.
It sold for three hundred taels in a short time. How much can it be sold in one day?
What about a month?
After returning home, he asked people to inquire about the origin of the soap.
Unfortunately, in order to test the female shopkeepers, Tang Xiaobei did not allow them to use the name Jinfeng in Jinchuan. County Lieutenant Zhao only found out that the soap came from a chamber of commerce called Jinchuan, and that an escort agency called Zhenyuan was responsible for security.
It's impossible to find out who the boss behind the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce is.
Just as he was about to think of another solution, he heard Master Peng say that the soap belonged to Jin Feng.
County Lieutenant Zhao immediately became interested: "Did Jin Feng make the soap? Who did you listen to?"
"Sir, I went to the county town for business a few days ago, and I went to Jiaofangsi with my friends. I found that the girls in Jiaofangsi are now using soap..."
Master Peng shook his head and said.
But only halfway through, County Lieutenant Zhao interrupted him impatiently: "I don't want to hear this, tell me how do you know the soap belongs to Jin Feng?"
"Sir, this matter has spread throughout Guangyuan..."
Master Peng quickly told the story about Jin Feng and Tang Xiaobei, as well as Tang Xiaobei's subsequent selling of soap.
"It turns out that Jin Feng went to the county town for this matter."
After Master Zhou's death, County Lieutenant Zhao tried to gain control of the Iron Can Mountain territory more than once, and even had someone ambush Jin Feng in Heifeng Ridge.
After the ambush failed, I was worried for several days and even asked the surviving bandits to hide.
As a result, Jin Feng did not send anyone to investigate, and County Lieutenant Zhao was thankful for this for a long time.
However, County Lieutenant Zhao was also afraid of being caught by Jin Feng, so he did not send anyone to follow him to the county town to find out about Jin Feng. As a result, he did not know the origin of the soap until the soap was bought into his home.
County Lieutenant Zhao was initially jealous of the soap, but when he found out that it was Jin Feng who had done it, his heart immediately went cold. He felt that both Xiong Zhao and the girl from Jinyue Pavilion were no longer fragrant.
"The same goes for Jin Feng. Just selling soap in Guangyuan can earn him more than a thousand taels of silver a month. What kind of textile factory does he open? I really don't know what he wants?"
Mr. Zhu also said irritably.
"Who can think that they have too much money? I heard that Xihewan now sends dozens of carts of twine to the county every day. After deducting all expenses, each cart can earn at least one tael of silver. This day is also dozens of taels.
Woolen cloth."
Mr. Peng said: "That's all because Jin Feng pays high wages to female workers, otherwise they can earn more!"
"The wages in textile factories are indeed high. I heard that some female workers can earn more than 100 yuan a month."
"Those are the female workers in Xihewan and Guanjia Village. Their wages are double, while those in other villages only earn dozens of cash a month."
"Isn't a few dozen cents too little? The county police officers work so hard to catch thieves, how much money do they get for a month?"
Mr. Zhu said: "It is because the wages are high and they have to take care of the food that those untouchables go to Xihewan."
As we talked, the topic returned to the old issue.
Master Peng's face turned bitter again: "Sir, this is not going to work. You have to think of a way."
"Don't worry, I've sent people to check. The textile factory built in Jinfeng is almost full. Now the bricks are being burned to build dormitories for the textile factory. After a few days, there may not be any more.
Someone went to Xihewan."
For the sake of Bear Paw and the girl, County Lieutenant Zhao said lazily.
"No wonder your Excellency is not in a hurry. It turns out that you have already inquired about it clearly."
"Hmph, I guess Jin Feng is sensible. If he doesn't stop, I will make him look good."
"Okay, Lao Peng, stop bragging. Why didn't you say that just now?"
Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng’s hearts finally fell to the ground.
There are not many people going to Xihewan now, and it is completely within their tolerance.
As long as people don't continue to migrate, they will treat these untouchables and starve to death.
With their worries gone, the two of them let go completely, and the room quickly became chaotic.
They thought the incident would just go away, but in the next few days, they realized they were wrong.
Ever since Jin Feng opened a textile factory and a kiln in the village, the villagers of Xihewan have become the envy of all surrounding villages.
While other villages are still worrying about what to eat tomorrow, the villagers in Xihewan can already eat meat every now and then.
Every time I go to the town market, as long as I see people dressed as village women cutting meat, the meat sellers will know that they are from Xihewan.
Women would proudly hold the meat in their hands after they had cut it. When they met acquaintances from other villages, they would complain about how tiring the work was and would like to put the meat in their faces.
Every time he makes people in other villages envious.
With the expansion of the textile factory, Guanjiawan has also joined this team, and the meat selling business in the town is getting better and better. In the past, hunters who caught wild boars and other large prey in the mountains could only send them to the county government for sale.
There's no way the town will sell out.
But now, they sell out in less than a morning.
If you really can't sell them out, it doesn't matter. You can send them to Xihewan, and they will charge you as much as you can get.
Every time they see a hunter entering the village, the female workers in the textile factory know that there is meat to eat today.
Girls in Shu have been producing beauties since ancient times. In the past, girls had to work in the fields and did not have enough to eat. All of them were dark and thin.
But as long as you enter the textile factory, you no longer have to worry about hunger, work indoors, and don't have to go out to bask in the sun. The girls who were dark and thin now are all fair and white.
Although there were many female workers with patches on their clothes, they were all dressed cleanly and smelled of soap.
You will never see a sloppy girl with worms on her head in a textile factory.
The "losers" who were particularly difficult to marry in the past have become "sought-after goods" as soon as they enter a textile factory.
Gradually, the female textile factory workers became a part of the scenery in Xihewan. Every time hunters from other villages came to sell their prey, they would deliberately arrive at the factory when they were commuting to get off work.
Even Jin Feng would sometimes go to the textile factory when he was tired from work. Because of this, he was ridiculed by Tang Xiaobei for being a thief but not courageous.
Jin Feng naturally couldn't bear such provocations, and used practical actions every time to make Tang Xiaobei speechless.
There is no need to actively promote the factory. The reputation of the textile factory has already spread. This is why the textile factory can recruit a large number of female workers in a short period of time, and some are even willing to leave their hometown and bring their families to Xihewan.
Due to backward communication, the textile factory is already full of people, and people are still coming, and more and more people are arriving every day.
