Be it tea or soap, they are all things that make money.
If Li Zhiyun cooperates with the clan to make money, that's no problem. If Lao Li catches him, the most he can do is reprimand him for being a member of the royal family and doing business privately. There is no big problem. This is not a principled mistake. And having said that, Li Zhiyun is not an idiot.
He can definitely find a spokesperson to sell tea. When selling tea, the person standing on the bright side is the puppet, and if caught, he can completely throw the blame away.
In the Tang Dynasty, how many people dared to use puppets?
Without looking at who is behind the tea sales, most people can't do anything. Not to mention Li Zhiyun, Li Daoxuan and Li Daozong alone are enough to intimidate the young people.
However, if he cooperates with others to make money, problems will arise.
For example, if Li Zhiyun and Pei Ji cooperated to sell soap, what would Lao Li think if Lao Li found out?
The relationship between King Chu and Pei Ji is so good?
Coupled with the profits from soap, Lao Li is afraid that he will put Li Zhiyun on the gray list for close observation.
If you can switch to a clan, there will be no problem at all.
Because the two are completely different in nature, if Li Zhiyun cooperates with Pei Ji to sell soap, it will be the prince colluding with the ministers, or else he will just GG Smecta.
Li Zhiyun cooperates with the royal family to sell soap, which is at best a royal gang committing crimes.
At the end of the investigation, it was just a warning.
As a prince, Li Zhiyun did not get involved with powerful ministers. This was the smartest thing to do.
There were really very few people in the clan who could catch Li Zhiyun's eyes. Except for the eldest brother and second brother, Daoxuan Daozong, and Li Xiaogong who was in Bashu, everyone else was almost uninterested.
Among the short ones, Li Zhiyun could only focus on Li Shuliang. Because Li Shuliang was the only one among the elders in the clan who had a good relationship with him.
Of course, this is not the main reason.
There are two main reasons. One is that Li Shuliang is stupid, and the other is that Lao Li is very protective of his stupid younger brother.
He is dead, King Changping!
The next day, Changping Prince's Mansion.
After returning from Nanyang and the end of the imperial dynasty, Li Shuliang has been staying behind closed doors.
Officials who have not experienced the Nanyang War will definitely think that the main responsibility for the defeat of Nanyang lies with King Lujiang. Only those who have experienced the Nanyang War will understand that the real culprit should be King Changping.
From this we can see how white Li Shuliang was washed.
Even, such a scene occurred.
"...If it weren't for this bastard Li Yuan, why would I be shut up in the house!" Li Shuliang poured out his bitter words to Li Zhiyun. He now regrets not killing Li Yuan with a knife.
Originally, Li Shuliang felt that he was trapped in Nanyang and should have a little responsibility, but after reading the official documents from the court, he was a little confused. It turns out that I really have no problem.
Then I have no problem. The one who has the problem must be Li Yuan!
What he didn't know was that the reason why he had no problems was because no one dared to talk about his problems. After all, if Li Shuliang had a problem, then the emperor had a problem. The emperor could not be wrong, only the world could be wrong.
Very reasonable.
"It's better now. A few days ago, the saint summoned me to the palace and gave me a scolding."
Li Zhiyun drank tea, nodded, said a few words of comfort, and then took out soap and asked him to wash his hands. He was here to attract investment, not to listen to Li Shuliang's nonsense.
There was soap floating in the copper basin. Li Shuliang looked at his slippery and fragrant hands in disbelief.
"How can this thing be so magical?"
Very good, if you think it's amazing, we can cooperate.
After some discussion between the two, Li Shuliang decided to invest in the company and obtain the high-end soap sales license from Jingzhao Mansion.
The price is three hundred cents a piece.
Originally, Li Zhiyun planned to sell it for two hundred coins, but Li Shuliang said that selling such a treasure for three hundred coins would be cheap!
Li Zhiyun suddenly felt that what Li Shuliang said was so reasonable that I was speechless.
Li Shuliang sells the goods for 300 cents a piece. He gets the goods from the workshop for 250 cents a piece and earns 50 cents. Li Shuliang thinks there is no problem, because he thinks that the materials used to make such a treasure must be quite expensive, and he can earn 50 cents a piece.
Fifty coins is definitely a lot. Gu
The most important thing is that he didn't do anything but buy and sell goods. How could he not make a profit?
"Uncle, the king is going to the palace tomorrow to pay his respects to his mother and concubine. Why don't you and I go to see the father together and present the soap. In this way, the father will definitely be very happy." Li Zhiyun suggested.
Hearing this, Li Shuliang patted Li Zhiyun on the shoulder and said, "Zhiyun, the emperor won't say useless things. The emperor will remember your kindness to the emperor."
There is really nothing much to say about this good nephew.
Think of him when it comes to credit, and think of him when it comes to making money.
move.
Li Zhiyun also has his own plan. He has to talk to Lao Li about this matter. With Lao Li's endorsement, whoever dares to reach out for soap will have his hand chopped off.
The next day, Li Zhiyun and Li Shuliang went to see Lao Li, and Princess Chu took the soap to give to Concubine Wan Gui and other empresses in the palace.
To engage in sales, you have to specialize in the industry and know the right direction.
When Lao Li saw the soap, he naturally thought it was magical, but it was inedible and could only be used for washing hands and bathing. It didn't seem to be of much use. He thought women might like it very much.
But how much money can this make?
How much money can a woman have?
At this time, Li Shuliang was very sensible and said that he would give the saint some tea money every month as a sign of filial piety.
It was better than nothing, Lao Li thought there was no problem, so he agreed to Li Shuliang selling it privately.
With Lao Li at the top and Li Shuliang in the middle, the soap issue is basically no problem.
Li Zhiyun thought to himself, since ancient times, women have been the ones who can spend money. Old Li, you don’t understand.
Next, the Crown Princess of the East Palace, Princess Qin, Princess Qi, and even some noble ladies all knew that a magical treasure had appeared in Chang'an. It was said that this magical treasure could not only remove dirt when washing hands and bathing, but also make people's bodies smell fragrant.
The incident originated from a banquet hosted by the crown princess. At that time, Princess Qin, Princess Qi, Princess Chu, and the wives of some court officials came one after another.
During the dinner, Princess Chu accidentally soiled her hands, so she asked someone to get a copper basin to wash her hands, and accidentally exposed the soap.
Then, the fragrance spreads everywhere inadvertently.
The soap used in the East Palace is a strong soap specially made by Li Zhiyun. The fragrance is very strong.
Time and time again, the eyes of women who love beauty naturally shine with golden light.
The next thing was much simpler. The ladies went home and sent their slaves to look for soap shops everywhere in Chang'an.
Finally, a shop named "Tangxiang" appeared in the east and west cities.
To be honest, this name was not given by Li Zhiyun, but by the big boss Li Shuliang. Li Zhiyun wanted to complain, but after thinking about it, it was not his shop anyway.
Even though a bar of soap sells for three hundred cents, business is still booming, very booming!
Men think this thing is just a temporary novelty and they can just buy it for one or two yuan to play with. But women are different. This thing is good news for them.
When you have soap, what’s the use of spices?
Not only does soap make people smell good, but it can also be used for bathing. Do spices have this effect?
No!
It was rumored that the first wife of a certain waiter had body odor all the time. The noble lady bought dozens of yuan and went home to take a bath. That night, the waiter and his wife came to take a root of an old tree.
Li Zhiyun never expected that the first batch of soap delivered to Li Shuliang would be sold out within three days.
Outrageous.
What's even more outrageous is that when Li Shuliang came to ask for goods from him, he revealed to him that Lao Li had recently been urged by the women in the palace to buy soap and asked him to send a batch to the palace.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyun immediately asked the workshop to step up production and send the most expensive soap to the palace.
As for the ones sold outside, they are naturally inferior.
It didn't take long for rumors to spread throughout Chang'an that the empresses in the palace loved soap. Coupled with the word-of-mouth spread among noble ladies, the sales of soap were basically in short supply.
