Jin Feng didn't have any extra courtesy and went straight to the point: "If you do a good job, I can deregister you in two years. At that time, whether you want to join the escort team or leave on your own, I won't stop you.
"
"Denationalization?"
Jin Peng's one eye immediately flashed with light, and he clasped his fists excitedly and said: "Sir, just give me your orders, even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire, our brothers will never refuse."
"Swords and fires, never refuse!"
The three people behind Jin Peng also clasped their fists.
No one wants to be a slave, and the three's biggest wish now is to leave their citizenship and go back to reunite with their families.
"Mountains of swords and seas of fire will not end."
Jin Feng shook his head and said: "I won't hide it from you now. I found a kind of ore for iron smelting here. I need you to stay here to help me mine."
"So simple?"
Jin Peng and the four others were all stunned.
You can regain your freedom after mining for two years, which is a great deal.
"It's that simple," Jin Feng said, "but mining is very hard and dangerous, and you can't let others discover it. Do you understand?"
"Sir, we are not afraid of hard work or danger, but you see, there is an official road below this cave. If you want to prevent others from discovering it..."
Jinpeng was a little confused.
"It's almost exactly a day's journey from Heifeng Ridge to Xihewan. When we get back, I'll ask Da Liu to bring someone over to tidy up this place and tell the public that this is our supply point to the county town."
Jin Feng had already thought of a countermeasure: "The ore you dug out can be hidden in the carriage of the escort team and taken back. If anyone finds it, just say that you can dig a bigger cave and use it as a warehouse to cover it up."
"That's great." Jin Peng said with a smile: "But don't worry, sir, we will try our best to be careful and try not to be discovered."
"Okay, I'll teach you how to identify the ore now."
Jin Feng took several people into the cave.
That night, Liu and a few veterans secretly carried several baskets of tungsten ore and hid them in the grain carriage, which was enough for Jin Feng to use for a while.
There were hundreds of girls and children all of a sudden, and Xihewan would definitely not be able to accommodate them, so Jin Feng could only send them to Iron Can Mountain.
There were hundreds of bandits in Iron Can Mountain at first, and they had accumulated a lot of food. Doubling the number would be no problem.
After a slight detour, the vast team finally arrived at Iron Can Mountain on the afternoon of the fourth day after leaving the county town.
As soon as I went up the mountain, I saw uncut soap drying everywhere on the flat ground at the top of the mountain.
"Sir, the pile of soap made by the girls is almost overflowing. You should quickly find a way to sell it."
Zheng Fang said with a sad face.
People who have experienced hardship cherish hard-won happiness even more.
The girls who were kidnapped by the bandits are very satisfied with their current lives. Even if there is no one to supervise them, they work extremely hard and conscientiously.
Every day at dawn, the eldest Wan Niang would lead the girls to work.
If it weren't for the constant supply of raw materials, there would probably be no place to store soap on the mountain now.
"Don't worry, I'll ask Brother Tiezi to come and take him away as soon as possible."
Jin Feng scratched his head in embarrassment.
There were so many things to be busy with recently that he almost forgot about Tin Can Mountain.
"Sister, is this the soap made by Mr.?"
Tang Xiaobei heard Tang Dongdong talk about soap on the way here. Curiously, he picked up a dried piece, put it under his nose and smelled it: "Is using this thing to wash your face and clothes really as clean as you say?"
"Of course, let's go, I'll take you to try."
Wan Niang couldn't bear to hear anyone question the soap she made, so she couldn't help but pull Tang Xiaobei towards the kitchen.
Tang Dongdong followed him dumbfounded.
Ten minutes later, Tang Xiaobei ran out of the kitchen with excitement on his face.
"Xiao Bei, the scar on your leg hasn't faded yet. Run slower."
Tang Dongdong was so anxious that he shouted behind him, but Tang Xiaobei didn't seem to hear it. He jumped up and down and ran to Jin Feng: "Sir, you are so awesome. This soap you made is really easy to use!"
"I think so."
Jin Feng winked at her with some pride.
"Sir, how much do you plan to sell a piece of soap for?" Tang Xiaobei then asked.
"This thing is worthless. It sells for two pennies a piece in Xihewan. If you send it to the city, I will sell it for three pennies."
"Sir, you only sell such a good thing for three cents. It's a waste of money!" Tang Xiaobei said excitedly.
"Then how much do you think a piece of it should be?" Jin Feng became interested.
"At least three taels!" Tang Xiaobei replied.
"Three liang?" Jin Feng was startled.
One thousand copper coins in Dakang is equivalent to one tael of silver.
Three taels of silver is three thousand coins!
Tang Xiaobei suddenly doubled Jin Feng's price by a thousand times!
"Xiaobei, are you kidding?" Jin Feng said: "How can ordinary people afford it for three taels of silver and one piece?"
"Sir, you are wrong!" Tang Xiaobei shook his head and said: "It is difficult for ordinary people to eat now. Do you think they will buy your soap?"
"this……"
Jin Feng was asked by Tang Xiaobei.
He knew that he had made the mistake of taking it for granted. He felt that three pennies was not much, but he ignored the current social situation in Dakang.
Today's Dakang is indeed the same as what Tang Xiaobei said. The people are so burdened by various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes that they don't have enough to eat. Wouldn't it be delicious to buy a few kilograms of whole grains to cook porridge for the children with three pennies? Who would use it to buy soap?
"Go on."
Jin Feng nodded and motioned for Tang Xiaobei to continue.
"I think the main customers of soap are brothels and wealthy families."
Tang Xiaobei said: "Soap is such a good thing, and it is the only one in the world. If you want to make money, make it from the rich. It is meaningless to make three or two pennies from the hands of ordinary people."
Brothel girls must be clean, otherwise the customers will dislike them, and rich families like to compare themselves with each other.
The most important thing is that brothels and wealthy families are not short of money. For them, no matter it is three cents or three taels, as long as the soap is useful, they will buy it!"
"That makes sense."
Jin Feng nodded in agreement and asked: "Xiao Bei, how about I give you a batch of soap and you go to the county town to sell it and try it?"
"no problem!"
Tang Xiaobei said confidently: "If there is more fragrance in the soap, I can sell it for five taels of silver!"
"We have scented ones!"
When Wan Niang heard this, she ran back to the warehouse and brought out a basket: "Here are all the ones that smell like osmanthus, those that smell like orchids, and those that smell like plum blossoms..."
"Wan Niang, I love you so much!"
Tang Xiaobei excitedly hugged Wan Niang's neck and kissed her.
After the kiss, I realized that it was abrupt, my face turned red all of a sudden, and I didn't know where to put my hands.
Wan Niang was also kissed.
It was Jin Feng who reacted first, looked at Wan Niang with a smile, and changed the subject: "How did you get the fragrance?"
