For a moment,
The king's manor made a huge profit.
"Congratulations, Chen Jun. Together with the profits from the soap soap shop and the black market today, the total is more than 60,000 taels!”
Below were the results reported by the maids Kui and Hua.
In the inner hall, Chen Wei was blocked by a falling bamboo curtain.
He saw his shadow lying on the bed and hummed in acknowledgment."Well done, I will reward you handsomely.”
With a wave of his sleeve, two maidservants walked out from behind the curtain and presented two precious playthings from the palace to Kui Hua and Wang Lin.
"Thank you, Chen Jun!" Kui and Hua were overjoyed and kowtowed to thank him.
"You all can leave first. The Soapthorn Company will operate as usual, and I can have no worries about the future.”
Kui and Hua thanked him again before slowly retreating.
At this moment, a beautiful figure turned over on the other side of the bed and leaned on Chen Wei's chest.
"Congratulations, Chen Jun. Now, the frontlines will be paid.”Yu Ji said with a smile.
Chen Wei nodded lightly." Soon, Situ Cai will come to see me and try to take away my locust branch."”
"Hmph, Cai Wu disobeyed Chen Jun. Sooner or later, he will be executed!”Yu Ji said angrily in a delicate voice.
"I won't see him. Why waste your breath on him?”
Chen Wei laughed, flipped his body, and pounced on Yu Ji…
……
The next day.
Cai Manor.
The servants were helping Cai Wu change his clothes and put on his robe.
Today, he was going to meet Chen Jun in the palace, and he had already prepared a draft in his heart.
He had seen the situation yesterday. No one came to buy soap from the soap shop.
All the noble houses gave him face.
Presumably, the Monarch's Residence was in a terrible situation right now…
If that small country ruler couldn't raise money, he would lose the war at the front line.
It was impossible for him not to consider such a serious consequence.
At that time, Cai Wu would add fuel to the fire and secretly threaten him. He was not afraid that he would not hand over the real power of the soap locust company!
Haha!
Cai Wu's thoughts were beautiful. He had no idea what had happened in the black market yesterday.
The nobles kept their mouths shut. After all, their purchase of soap did not interfere with Cai Wu's orders at all.
No one knew that the black market merchant was actually a trusted aide of the king's manor.
Everything was in Chen Wei's plan.
Cai Wu boarded a four-horse carriage and headed to the Monarch's Residence.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the high officials were revered, but they could only ride in three-horse copper chariots.
Cai Wu had never put Chen Wei in his eyes since he was young, so the treatment he gave him was actually the same as the monarch.
Of course,
The monarchs of this era were almost treated the same as the emperor.
Thus, no one said anything about Cai Wu's four-horse copper chariot.
Before Chen Wei transmigrated here, the previous master was also unable to care about such things.
Although it was a little disobedient to the ruler, he couldn't ask for his sins because of this, right?
He was afraid that Cai Wu would quit in a fit of anger if he failed to punish him. Then, who would be in charge of the affairs of this country?
Therefore, even Chen Wei turned a blind eye to it.
Very soon,
Cai Wu arrived at the Monarch's Mansion and wanted to meet the Monarch.
However, he did not even enter the door.
He was stopped by the guards outside the king's residence with bronze spears."Chen Jun is seriously ill and bedridden.”
"Situ Cai, please return!"
These two guards were Chen Wei's trusted aides. Before Ying Xiao left, he left some trustworthy warriors in the Monarch's Mansion.
"Sick?"
Cai Wu was dumbfounded and could only turn back helplessly.
However, he immediately sneered in his heart.
Presumably, the little king was also burning with anxiety at this moment, right?
The soap company could not operate smoothly, and the soap could not be sold, so there were some who fell ill.
'Forget it, I'll wait for you in the residence!'
In Cai Wu's heart, Chen Wei would come and beg him sooner or later.
Because only he could help Chen Wei solve the food crisis at the front line…
However, when Cai Wu returned to the residence, he was still suspicious.
He was a suspicious man.
Was the little king really sick?
Before seeing it with his own eyes, Cai Wu would not believe the words of those two guards so easily.
"Men!"
At this moment, a servant who was leading Cai Wu's horse turned around and looked at him.
"Master, what are your orders?" the servant said.
"Go to the various manors and ask if they bought the soap from the king's manor. Hurry up and go!"
The servant was stunned for a moment before he quickly accepted the order and ran off with his head lowered.
After returning to the manor, he found out that none of the noble houses had gone to buy soap from the king's manor.
This was absolutely true.
Cai Wu was relieved.
It seemed that the king was really sick.
The Soapthorn Company had no income, and the king's manor had no money. The war at the front line would not stop for him to raise money.
Sooner or later, he would come to beg him.
Cai Wu was relieved.
……
In the blink of an eye, five to six days had passed.
The soap in the king's manor was no longer as popular as before.
After the initial attempts, the commoners felt that it was still too expensive.
One tael fifty baht,
Five taels was equivalent to 250 baht, which was not a small sum of money.
So Chen Wei ordered again to lower the price. Each soap only cost three taels.
Six days ago, the soap store boiled 1,000 bars of soap and sold them in the market. They still hadn't sold them out.
This was very tragic.
However, the king's manor didn't do anything.
This made Cai Wu very puzzled.
Logically speaking, the national treasury should be out of money.
But the little king was not anxious at all?
What was going on?
How did he do it?
