After sending people to investigate, they found out that when they first started selling soap, the Monarch's Residence had reached an agreement with a group of traveling merchants from the State of Chen.
The traveling merchants purchased large quantities of goods from the monarch's residence and sold them abroad. They were welcomed by the Song, Yue, and Chu Kingdoms.
After all, soap was a new thing and an essential daily item.
It exploded.
The commoners bought less, but the merchants bought a lot!
Cai Wu, who had found out about this news, was so angry that he almost flipped the table in the residence.
However, Cai Wu was not stupid.
They were just a group of traveling merchants, buying and selling at the lowest price in the Monarch's Mansion.
How much profit could the king's manor make?
No matter how he calculated, the Monarch's Residence was still making a loss.
Sooner or later, the little monarch would run out of money to use. Those traveling merchants alone could not support the huge amount of front-line military pay.
After thinking through this, Cai Wu felt comfortable.
She drank a cup of tea and planned to slowly spend time with Chen Wei.
Anyway, he had a lot of time. Chen Wei was fighting alone at the front line, and the pressure was not ordinary.
As long as he stopped the nobles from buying soap, the king's manor would not be able to get any profits to support the war.
It was just a small profit, not worth mentioning.
However,
Cai Wu was still very angry.
The little monarch had left him, a minister in charge of the country's taxes and land, to ask for help, but insisted on solving the problem of military pay himself.
Wasn't she clearly being angry at him?
"Hmph, the monarch is still young…"
In Cai Wu's eyes, Chen Wei was still too childish.
At this time, they should join hands with him and give him the power of the soap soap shop so that he could release it into the noble market.
This way, the profits of the soap could be expanded to support the front line and not be so tight.
If the monarch didn't leave him, the Great Minister, in a fit of pique, what was it?
These few days…
Zuo Han, Cao Jing, and even Peng Jie would send people to inquire about the situation of the Zaojiao Company.
Cai Wu said to stall for more time and let them join forces to suppress the various noble houses. They must not give the Zaojiao Company any chance.
How could the Monarch's Residence be a match for the four great clans?
……
However, Cai Wu could never have thought of it.
Could the four of them suppress the nobles with just a word?
Cai Wu had underestimated the effect of soap.
In the past six days, a large amount of profits from the black market had secretly entered the accounts of the soap locust company.
The daily profit was as much as 50,000 taels.
Six days, that would be three hundred thousand taels!
There were many people in the noble house and many servants, so the demand for soap was huge.
In addition, this soap was made in a primitive way and was used quickly. Therefore, nobles sent people to the black market to buy soap every day.
Even if he didn't earn 300,000 taels in these six days, he would earn more than 200,000 taels.
Chen Wei saved a portion of this money and used the rest to purchase military pay.
Jiang Yao rushed back to the capital from the front line again with good news.
Ying Xiao had defeated the Southern Yue army at the front line, severely injuring them.
It was inspiring!
This was the first time Chen Wei had heard of a victory in so many days.
The Yue people retreated for now and probably wouldn't dare to invade the border again.
Of course, Ying Xiao's army had to stay at the border. Otherwise, those Nanman people would still appear.
"This is all thanks to Chen Jun. If not for Chen Jun's endless supply of rations and military pay, General Ying would not have been able to win this battle.”
Jiang Yao began to pat Chen Wei's rainbow fart.
Chen Wei also laughed out loud, feeling very pleased.
During this period of time, he had indeed been under too much pressure.
Just by selling soap to support the army's pay, sooner or later, this market would still be saturated.
Because not only was the king's manor making soap,
During this period of time, he had already heard that there were several organizations in the surrounding cities that had begun to imitate soap.
Although the quality of their soap was far inferior to the king's mansion's,
However, the price was cheap. Sometimes it was two taels for one piece, and sometimes it was only one tael.
Chen Wei specially asked Slave Yan to go to the outer city to buy a bar of soap.
There was no fragrance, and the craftsmanship was crude, but it did have a cleaning effect.
The soap was very simple to make, and it was not difficult to imitate it.
Chen Wei thought for a moment and spent 500 contribution points in the system store to buy an intermediate soap making book.
At this moment,
Servant Kui and servant Hua are in the inner hall to see Chen Wei.
"I spent some time to improve the soap making process. The two of you quickly bring it back to the Gleditsia Company and study it with all your might.”
Chen Wei threw the production book to Sunflower and Painting.
This Intermediate Soap Making Book did not require the use of basic chemistry.
However, the requirements for craftsmanship and materials had greatly increased.
Chen Wei had the system, so he wasn't afraid of people imitating and copying him.
He only needed to maintain his excellent craftsmanship and lead the entire market. He was not afraid that no one would buy it.
Even if those knock-offs were exactly the same as the soap made by the soap company,
As long as Zaojiao Company mass-produced mid-grade soap, they would immediately be ahead of them.
As for soap, it had become the most famous luxury item in the State of Chen after the promotion of the King's Mansion.
The reputation of the soap had even spread to the Song, Jin, and Chu countries.
More and more merchants from all over the world gathered here, wanting to purchase goods in the State of Chen and sell soap abroad.
Chen Wei naturally did not reject anyone.
Only Cai Wu was anxious.
He really couldn't figure it out.
Why?
Why was that?
Could it be that his calculations were wrong?
