Zhao Qingzhu asked, "Oh, what other use is it?"
Zhu Yunwen: "You'll find out in time!"
After successfully producing a large quantity of floral water concentrate, Zhu Yunwen felt he could sell a portion of it. So he took out some silver and had his subordinates buy some very cheap small porcelain bottles.
Porcelain is very common nowadays, and some small porcelain bottles for medicine are not expensive. After buying them, Zhu Yunwen put the diluted floral water into those small bottles.
Dozens of jars of raw liquid were used to make thousands of bottles of floral water, and Zhu Yunwen priced these floral waters at one hundred coins per bottle.
Scented sachets are luxury items, and floral water is positioned to be slightly more expensive than luxury items.
He believed that the wealthy people in the capital would pay for this.
Thus, ten bottles would be worth one tael of silver, one hundred bottles would be worth ten taels, and one thousand bottles would be worth one hundred taels.
Zhu Yunwen entrusted Zhao Qingzhu to sell these items, since he was the crown prince and it was obviously not a good thing for him to sell these things in public.
Zhao Qingzhu did not take the initiative to show herself to sell these things; she left the task to the servants in her household.
Zhu Yunwen originally thought that it would take at least four or five days for his floral water to become known to the people, spread, and be purchased by everyone.
However, the reality still exceeded his expectations.
In just half a day, all of his floral water was sold out.
Those several thousand bottles of floral water sold for a total of four hundred taels of silver.
This was completely beyond Zhu Yunwen's imagination, because its cost was almost entirely controlled to less than one hundred taels, yet it sold for four hundred taels of silver, earning more than three hundred taels.
So Zhu Yunwen took the silver and sent people to continue buying large quantities of honeysuckle, mint, small porcelain bottles, musk, and so on.
Then they produced in large quantities, reaching a daily production of nearly tens of thousands of bottles.
However, no matter how many are produced, they are almost always sold out as soon as they are released.
This thing has become a favorite among the wealthy in the capital.
Not only can you put it on your body, but you can also sprinkle it in the room.
It became a luxury product that wealthy men and women in the capital flocked to.
As a result, Zhu Yunwen produced at least 10,000 bottles every day.
After all, you don't need to make too much stock solution; you can dilute it with water to get ten times the original amount.
In theory, Zhu Yunwen could produce 1,000 catties of floral water concentrate every day, which could then be diluted with water to make 10,000 catties of floral water.
And a bottle only contains a little over half a pound.
As a result, several thousand taels of silver were deposited into the account almost every day.
In the later stages, Zhu Yunwen continued to expand the scale of his business, and the daily profit he made reached tens of thousands of taels of silver.
With only ten days or so left until the wedding, Zhu Yunwen also worked hard to produce offspring during these ten days.
Finally, on the second-to-last day before the wedding, Zhu Yunwen had earned a total of 150,000 taels of silver.
Zhu Yunwen retained this industrial chain and handed it over to Zhao Qingzhu to manage.
Zhao Qingzhu entrusted the management to people in the Zhao family mansion. All the income, after deducting labor and material expenses, belonged to Zhu Yuntong and Zhao Qingzhu.
After Zhu Yunwen had gathered enough silver, he openly and honestly handed the money over to Zhang Shan, the Minister of Revenue, in the imperial court.
In the imperial court, the officials were all somewhat shocked. No one had expected that Zhu Yunwen would actually take the initiative to bear such a large part of the wedding expenses.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very moved, after all, he had been worried about money lately.
The reform concerning officials' salaries was just beginning to be implemented, which required an investment of silver. Furthermore, the court's expenses were high, and Zhu Yunwen's wedding was also approaching. Zhu Yuanzhang was also facing a difficult situation.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunwen took the initiative to pay for the wedding.
This greatly reduced the burden on Zhu Yuanzhang.
