Chapter 383 The Shameless Dog Emperor
From princes and nobles to peddlers and hawkers, everyone was eager to buy soap.
In almost every city where soap appears, it will be sold out as soon as it is restocked.
The scene was so heated that even Mu Linyuan himself did not expect it.
The soap produced in five days was sold out before three days had passed.
Song Jiuning was so excited that she couldn't sleep the whole night: "That's amazing, Wanyin, you are so amazing."
"Don't be too happy too soon."
Lu Wanyin felt dizzy after being shaken by Song Jiuning. She smiled bitterly and steadied herself: "This is just the initial rush to buy. Once everyone has a few dollars in their hands, they won't be rushing to buy like they are now."
"That's been a long time."
Song Jiuning was not at all discouraged. Her fingertips flew and she was calculating with a clacking sound. "If this continues, let alone conquering Dasheng, even buying Dasheng directly is not impossible."
Lu Wanyin shook her head and laughed: "There will be a time to make money, but now the trouble will probably come first."
Song Jiuning paused as she stroked the abacus: "If there's any trouble, will anyone dare to take it over our heads?"
Lu Wanyin pointed towards the capital: "Even if the wilderness is not recognized, it is still within the territory of Dasheng. The dog emperor is so poor now, how could he allow us to make money on his territory?"
"That kind of shameless person, for his own sake, can come up with all kinds of nonsense."
Song Jiuning's expression immediately turned serious: "What you said makes a lot of sense. Considering the emperor's current shamelessness, it's something he would do."
She had long disliked the dog emperor.
Thinking of this, I asked, "Then Wanyin, should we take the initiative?"
"No need to be so hasty."
Lu Wanyin smiled calmly: "To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country. In two months at most, the wilderness will be under our control.
During these two months, Mu Linyuan's people have helped us withstand the pressure from Dasheng.
Such a big soap business, with so many benefits, is not something that comes for free."
Song Jiuning suddenly felt a little sympathy for Mu Linyuan.
What this business partner did was to give money and take the blame.
My voice is amazing.
Capital city.
The emperor listened to his subordinates' reports, his eyes almost glowed green: "What did you say?"
The minister who reported the incident took out a wooden box and said, "Your Majesty, this is the thing called soap."
The eunuch beside the emperor hurried down from his high seat and delivered the things.
The minister quickly explained, "Your Majesty, this is soap from the wilderness. I suspect the merchants Shui Yu and I went to the wilderness with discovered a large amount of mineral deposits long ago, which is why they traveled so far."
Otherwise, who would go to such a place with so much effort?
The emperor's face turned even greener.
The word "mineral deposit" is now his sore spot.
So much was lost in Dasheng, and the wilderness was even robbed.
It's true that he dislikes the barbaric wilderness.
But that doesn't mean he even dislikes the mines inside.
The emperor took the soap out of the box and put it to his nose and sniffed it.
The minister who brought the soap was well prepared, bringing water and a piece of cloth, and quickly demonstrated it.
“Your Majesty, this item has only been available for less than a month, and we’ve restocked it three times, and it’s sold out every time.
My subordinates estimate that this soap order has made a profit of one million silver coins in the territory of Dasheng, but there is no tax at all.
The situation is serious, and I dare not neglect it, so I came to the capital to submit a memorial."
If this matter succeeds, His Majesty will be able to make a large amount of money from Mu Ji and solve the urgent problem.
His proposal will surely be a great achievement.
The emperor's breathing became rapid.
In just one month, he had collected so much silver in the territory of Dasheng alone.
These are just a few cities close to the wilderness. The closer to the desolate land, the harder the people's lives will be.
If it were in the capital, he couldn't even imagine it.
"Okay, okay."
The emperor was so angry that he almost lost his composure in the hall: "Outrageous, absolutely outrageous."
He held the soap in his hand, wishing he could crush it.
The emperor's eyes fell on the words on the soap and his face turned gloomy: "What does this mean?"
The minister quickly lowered his head and said, "I don't know."
"You don't know this or that, what use do I have for you?"
The emperor was furious and threw the soap to the ground: "It's been less than a month and such a big commotion has occurred. Does this 'nine' mean that within nine months, my kingdom will be overthrown?"
Hou Yuanji stood in the military officer's team, with his head down and silent, his ears perked up.
Have fun while watching the show.
That’s right, it probably won’t take nine months.
The master is worthy of being the master, he always makes such earth-shaking noises.
Even the idiot emperor still thinks that it is Shui Yu's people who are against them.
The last time the Wang family and Duke Xuan of Qi joined forces, they failed to bring down the Hou family, but instead cleared them of the charges.
The emperor could not bear the controversy and had to punish Hou Yuanji and let him return to the court.
In just one month, the emperor found all kinds of reasons to demote him.
Hou Yuanji's position in the court was getting further and further back.
Until now, it has been placed in the center and rear of the military officers.
Hou Yuanji used to love to show off, so he might be depressed.
But now he is very satisfied with it.
You don't have to stand under the emperor's nose, causing trouble for yourself, and it won't delay him from watching the show.
It’s the best of both worlds.
The emperor flew into a rage and scolded the person standing in front of him.
Finally, panting heavily, he glared at the person who reported it fiercely: "You mean, the latest batch of soap will be shipped to the heart of Dasheng soon?"
"yes."
The minister was so frightened that his legs began to tremble: "We will arrive in five days at most."
How could he be so unlucky?
It just so happened that the city he was in charge of was located on the outside, so he was the first to come into contact with this matter.
If you report it, you will be in trouble. If you don’t report it, you will be in even worse trouble.
I was thinking of taking some credit.
Don’t think about any credit now, it’s good enough if you don’t bring disaster upon yourself.
Upon hearing this, the emperor's eyes flashed with a sinister look. "Send someone to keep an eye on it. If that batch of soap dares to arrive, confiscate it all. I want them to know who's in charge of Dasheng."
The minister wanted to say that this was inappropriate, but when he met the emperor's sinister look, he quickly swallowed his words.
To contradict the emperor at this time is no different from seeking death.
All the ministers lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Almost everyone thought it was ridiculous.
*
"That's ridiculous!"
Free city.
In the small courtyard near the clinic.
Mu Linyuan was so angry that he slammed the table.
The teacups on the table were shaking and making noises.
Mu Linyuan swung the information in his hand: "Look, look, is this something a human would do?
As an emperor, does he still have any shame?
Merchants can deduct the price of goods at will.
I don't pay taxes
I haven’t even been selling soap for a month, and it’s not time to collect taxes yet.”
The dog emperor actually used this reason to confiscate all the soap he had shipped to the heart of Dasheng.
Even if there are conflicts between the two countries, such ridiculous things that set bad precedents have never happened.
