When Li Yin returned to the Prince's mansion, he was called into the palace by Concubine Yang before he could even sit down. Naturally, he was reprimanded again. Li Yin secretly felt unlucky, but he also admitted it. He did not care about Luo Xiaoyi, but these brothers trusted him more and more. This was more worth it than anything else.
On the way, he thought of the perfume. Li Yin sent Jin Daqian to call Tong Nian to the palace. Although the perfume had not been made yet, the production of essence did not stop for a moment.
Generally speaking, blending perfume required essence, alcohol, and distilled water. Now, Li Yin could easily obtain these three materials. The boiler he bought was definitely not for decoration.
With the ingredients, the rest was easy to solve.
In the workshop in the back hall of the mansion, Li Yin brought Tong Nian with him to let the workers start making perfume on the spot. Tong Nian was very excited. He didn't expect Li Yin to let him participate in such an important matter. He was so excited that he was walking with light steps. However, what he didn't know was that the essence was the most important part of the perfume. The essence on the spot was ready-made, so he still didn't see any actual content.
"By the way, did you go to inspect the market last time?”Li Yin asked Tong Nian, who was standing at the side, as he instructed the servants.
" How could I forget what Your Highness has instructed me to do? The incense in Chang 'an City is mainly ointment, cake, fat, powder, and pills. They are divided into application, internal consumption, wearing, and burning. I have bought all these incense for Madam to try, but none of them can compare with our perfume. The most expensive incense is the rose ointment from Persia. A small bottle is sold for five strings of money, but even so, there is no demand for it.”
"Violence, pure violence. How can we let those foreigners take the money of the Tang Dynasty? I've decided to sell our perfume for ten strings of money per bottle!”Li Yin looked indignant.
Tong Nian gave him a thumbs up." Your Highness, you're so wise. I've been thinking about it too. Our perfume is much better than that perfume. I think it's too little to sell it for ten strings of copper coins. Your Highness, how much do you plan to give me for a bottle?"”
"This?" Tong Nian had put in a lot of effort this time, so Li Yin considered letting him earn a little, and said,""Excluding the cost of your spices, I'll sell you a bottle for nine strings of coins and five hundred wen. What do you think?”
One bottle earned 500 wen, and ten bottles would be five strings of coins. Tong Nian looked at the big vat that the servants were stirring. This first batch would cost at least 5,000 bottles, which was 2,500 strings of coins. It was a huge profit.
"Whatever Your Highness says, this lowly one will not dare to say a single word!”Tong Nian acted obediently.
Li Yin chuckled and did not expose him. According to historical records, when Wu Zetian was in power, perfume first appeared in Chang 'an, which made the entire Chang' an City go crazy. The perfume in his hand was a hundred times stronger than that perfume, and no one knew what kind of waves it would cause.
Tong Nian left the mansion with a peace of mind. Li Yin returned to the Tang Auction House from the study. He had been gone for half a month, and he didn't know if there was anything he needed to decide personally.
When they reached the office, Yang Suxin pushed the door open and walked in in her office attire. This was the first time Li Yin had formally sized her up. She had short, capable hair, an oval-shaped face, very fair skin, delicate facial features, and slightly rigid lines. At first glance, she had the style of a strong woman.
"Report the company's recent situation!”
For Yang Suxin, it was a little uncomfortable to be looked at by a 15 or 16-year-old teenager with the eyes of an adult. Fortunately, Li Yin started playing on the computer after looking at him for a while, and she finally relaxed.
Yang Suxin's report proved that the company's operations were normal and continued to make profits. It was not much different from the previous operations of Haoyu.
After listening to the report, Li Yin made two calls. On the phone, the manufacturer told him that the paper-making equipment and printing equipment had all been produced.
After giving the manufacturer the address, Li asked the manufacturer to transport all the equipment to the old residence and then returned to the palace.
After stirring the perfume liquid, it aged for another three days. Li Yin asked the servants to start filling the bottles. This time, Li Yin learned to be smart. Each small bottle could only hold 20 milliliters of perfume. This tank had at least 200 liters. This was 10,000 bottles of perfume, which was twice what Tong Nian had expected.
Li Yin asked the servants to buy a few luxurious rosewood boxes. He put four bottles of perfume in each box. As the saying goes, if the goods are not good, the packaging is good. What's more, the things Li Yin was holding were high-end and high-grade perfumes. He was preparing to let Concubine Yang and Empress Zhangsun try them first. Firstly, this was something he produced himself. It would be unreasonable not to let them try it first. After all, one of them was his mother, and the other was his mother. Secondly, he also wanted to build a good relationship in the palace. He wanted them to whisper in Li Shiming's ear and plead for him at the critical moment, such as changing the death sentence to a suspended death sentence.
After registering with Zhao Kai, the assistant minister of the Yellow Gate, Li first went to Empress Zhangsun. Concubine Yang had told him more than once that this was for his own good.
Empress Zhangsun was surprised by Li Yin's request for an audience. Li Shimin had also told her about Li You and Li Yin's fight. She agreed with Li Shimin's decision. Without rules, there would be no square. She was about to call Li Yin to the palace to teach him.
"Your son greets mother!" Under Zhao Kai's lead, Li Yin saw Empress Zhangsun reading a book in the garden.
"Get up!" Empress Zhangsun put down the ancient book in her hand." No one bullied you in the prison of the government office, right?”
"Your son knows his mistake!" Empress Zhangsun was hiding something in her words, and Li immediately admitted his mistake sincerely.
Empress Zhangsun stood up and walked to Li Yin's side." The Emperor's impression of you has just changed, and you've already given him a surprise. Two princes fighting over a dusty woman, what a disgrace!"”His tone became stern.
"Mother, your son is really innocent. It was Li You who hit Lu Boyan and spoke rudely, so your son fought him!”Li Yin was a little baffled. How could there be a scandal between him and Luo Xiaoyi? He didn't even know what she looked like. Wouldn't it be too much of a loss? Hence, he told her the whole story.
Empress Zhangsun frowned slightly. One of Li Yin and Zhangsun Wuji must have lied. She thought of something and sighed." Even if what you said is true, it's not proper for a prince to enter the street with fireworks. This Consort Yin is also too much. She dotes on Li You too much!"”
"Yes, Mother's lesson!" Empress Zhangsun's attitude was obviously on his side. Li Yin typed a V in his heart.
"Also, although your mother was the princess of the previous dynasty, that's all in the past. I don't know what the officials think, but the Emperor and I treat you and Ke 'er equally with the other princes and princesses.”Empress Zhangsun comforted Li again.
Slightly grateful, Li Yin quickly took out the brocade box in his hand." Mother, your son is actually here to show respect to you."”As he spoke, he opened the brocade box. Four exquisite celadon bottles lay at the bottom of the brocade box, and the mouths of the bottles were tightly stuffed with a cotton cork...
