The women in these wealthy families were undoubtedly the most influential in influencing their thoughts. Wives, concubines, and daughters, all of them could influence the hearts of the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty. How could they compare to the gentleness of their own beauties?
Especially since the tigress at home suddenly changed her ways and became gentle, this was a win-win situation. It was just a matter of buying some things from the Beichen people. What's more, even they themselves loved the smell of that fragrance...
Yun Wanwan also saw this business opportunity and started selling her "newly" developed men's perfume. This was the first time the wealthy families had seen a shop selling perfume specifically for their men. If they didn't buy it, wouldn't it be unjust?
It can't be called a rebellion. Daxing City had been captured by the Beichen people a long time ago. Prince An was already giving them face by letting them identify themselves as people of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was simply unreasonable that they treated the Beichen people like this.
They are wealthy families, so they are essentially businessmen. If they become citizens of Beichen, they will be able to trade with Beichen without having to pay taxes. This will provide them with another way to make money, so why not?
After figuring these points out, the wealthy families in Daxing City gradually began to "rebel", and more and more people flocked to Yihua Pavilion to buy ointment.
More and more people began to try the facial cream made by Yun Wanwan. When people realized that this facial cream from Beichen was better than the one made by people in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the shop next door no longer received business from wealthy families.
Yun Wanwan also invited several local workers who specialized in making facial creams to teach them how to make facial creams and ointments, and signed a confidentiality agreement with them. If they leaked the recipe, they would have to pay Yun Wanwan a sky-high penalty.
The workers had originally planned to leak the recipe to the young owner of the shop next door to Yun Wanwan, but after seeing the penalty for breach of contract in the contract, they completely gave up the idea.
As for the penalty for breach of contract in the contract, not to mention that they cannot afford to pay it, even the young master of the shop next to Yihua Pavilion may not be able to help them pay one third of the penalty for breach of contract even if he sells all his belongings.
Without the wealthy as their source of business, the shop next door was completely devoid of customers. Their main source of customers was the wealthy, and how many ordinary people could afford such expensive facial cream? The young master was so worried that he nearly set fire to Yun Wanwan's Yihua Pavilion, but he was also afraid of being caught and beaten to death. He was so troubled that he almost fainted.
After all, it is they who are now spending more than they earn, not Yihua Pavilion next door.
Now the young master is also regretting why he didn't sell the facial cream to those Beichen people.
If he had sold it, he wouldn't be in this situation today.
After all, people are not fools, and they can still tell what is good and what is bad.
The rich have money and only want good things, not money. The so-called loyalty to the Western Zhou Dynasty is nothing more than the men's youthful vigor and the ulterior motives of some individuals.
For women in seclusion, Xi Zhou and Bei Chen are the same. They will be loyal to whichever one can make their life better and more stable.
Of course, they also need to make their own business more prosperous and profitable. Only in this way can they live a better life.
Yun Wanwan was very proficient in this. Rich families often came to buy things, and after getting to know each other, she opened a back door for them. For example, they could use the "pass" she opened to leave the city and go to Shizhou or other cities on the border.
Things coming from Shizhou to Beichen can be sold in Daxing City, and goods from Daxing City can also be brought to Shizhou.
Moreover, since she personally asked Rong Chengxuan to issue the pass, Shizhou would also provide certain support and help.
After all, Rong Chengxuan was not a popular figure in Western Zhou, but he was a living signboard in Beichen.
As long as he reports his name, Rong Chengxuan, and asks for the seal of Prince An's Mansion, wouldn't that be considered respectful?
She quickly won over the wealthy families and even set up a membership system, gathering them together and brainwashing them, saying, "You have to be aware of current affairs. How much benefit can you get by following Xi Zhou? You've lived in Daxing City for so many years, and your business is only as good as it is now. It's barely enough to support your family."
"Look, you've worked so hard for so many years, but in the end you only earn the same amount of money. Whether it's worth it or not is something you know in your hearts. But ever since I opened up a way for you to expand your business to Beichen, how much have you earned in these few days?"
"These are just a few small cities on the border of Beichen. Do you know how big Beichen really is? Beichen is vast and rich in resources. I wouldn't say you have everything you need, but frankly, you all have to admit that the goods and resources alone are far richer than those of the Western Zhou Dynasty in the desert. Moreover, facial creams and spices are rare in Beichen."
"Just like me now, for you, ointment is a rare thing. You come to me to buy it because you like it. In Beichen, there is no such rare thing. Even spices are rare things. I don't need to teach you how to do business, right? I think you should all be smart people. No one would give up a good life for a hard life."
"There should be some of you in the sand business. Don't you want to expand your business to Beichen? Just do the math and you'll know how many people in Beichen need to build houses. The population of Beichen alone is far greater than that of the Western Zhou Dynasty."
Yun Wanwan paused here, then continued, "Ultimately, this war was initiated by the Western Zhou. As a vassal state of Beichen, the Western Zhou attacked Beichen despite knowing that its own national strength and military power were inferior to Beichen's. Although you have recruited other desert nations as allies to attack Beichen, your strength is evident."
"From another perspective, have you ever considered whether the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty cares about the lives of his people? We in Beichen could have imitated the practices of the previous Western Zhou Dynasty and massacred the entire city, but our commander was kind-hearted and ultimately decided to spare your lives. However, you also know that people shouldn't be too greedy. Don't overthink those trivial matters."
"After all, we've done business together, so I'll give you some advice. I hope you'll think carefully about which master you want to work for after you go back. After all, who can bring you more benefits? I believe you can figure it out with your brains. Which master can make you more satisfied?"
