According to Xu Guangqi's report, 1,000 soaps and 500 shampoos can be produced every day.

The hand speed of those palace maids is getting faster and faster, and their skills are getting more and more mature, making people really... ah! It should be said that the production efficiency has been significantly improved to a certain extent.

Although it is still very slow, it is very good to make progress. After all, it is a handicraft production and a new thing.

At the current production speed, it is impossible to sell at a low price.

How to sell?

It is still 100 taels (about 65,000 yuan) per box, and even a small portion of shampoo is sold for 100 taels.

At this price, the people can't afford it now, and Chongzhen didn't sell so much goods, so he sold it to the powerful and wealthy businessmen.

As a result, as soon as the 1,000 boxes were released, they were snatched up in one day.

In other words, within one day, Chongzhen earned 100,000 taels (about 65 million yuan).

Of course, this must have been bought by some businessmen or executives, and it was probably sold to Jiangnan at a high price. It doesn’t matter. As long as Chongzhen’s money is in his pocket, everyone else can do whatever he wants.

Soap and shampoo have come out, and toilet paper needs to be improved, but according to Xu Guangqi, in terms of the emperor's formula, it should be fine to make improvements in the past few months.

For example, can these daily necessities make money?

Surely!

Chongzhen bought it as a luxury now, isn’t he just making money?

But luxury goods are only short-term, and as the product increases, the price will inevitably drop.

How can I make money after it is reduced?

Rely on scale.

But in fact, its real meaning is not to make money.

1. It can drive the growth of an industrial chain.

Although it is easy for future generations to buy soap and shampoo, its back end is the planting, collection, development, transportation and manufacturing of raw materials.

Every step is very important, and it cannot be done with just a mouth.

It is necessary to hire people, buy land, optimize skills, summarize and continuously upgrade.

More importantly, once this business model takes shape, it will be able to drive many private businessmen.

2. It can improve people's livelihood and improve health problems.

Third, solve the employment problem of many people, that is, food.

This is the value of the daily necessities industry.

But it takes time and needs to be established step by step. There is no rush, so let Xu Guangqi and the others do it.

But then again, cigarettes are really about making money, making money quickly, and keeping high profits.

At this time, Chongzhen had a cigarette in his hand.

This was done by him when he asked Cao Huachun to go to a small factory in Beijing.

It is said that many officials in the Ming Dynasty smoked cigarettes, and even some officers and soldiers on the border smoked them.

There were more in the Ming Dynasty. In history, the Ming Dynasty strictly prohibited it. Chongzhen himself even issued a severe death penalty to crack down on tobacco merchants.

However, this thing has been transmitted, so it is impossible to resist it.

According to historical records, Dorgon was a big smoker.

Zhang Chen in his previous life did not smoke, but it did not prevent him from making money through this.

As long as you make cigarettes, are you still worried about military spending?

It's okay to push it to the English Channel!

Since this thing has begun to become popular, it should be directly nationalized!

Chongzhen smelled the smell, it was very bitter, he didn't like it himself, but he knew that many people liked it.

However, this thing needs to be improved and made into cigarettes, which is more convenient and more popular.

Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "Gao Qiqian, go and bring the person who makes this kind of cigarette to me."

"yes!"

Chongzhen thought about it, and this matter was quite urgent.

In the evening, a young man sneaked into the palace with Gao Qi.

This young man is just an ordinary young man named Li Chong.

Along the way, he was so nervous that he was tense.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I couldn't even walk.

He never dreamed that he would enter the palace one day.

Finally he was carried to the Ganqing Palace.

Chongzhen is writing various basic physics formulas and some plans for the school.

"Your Majesty, the man is here."

Chongzhen put down his pen, stood up, and walked down.

Li Chong hurriedly crawled on the ground: "The grass people... The grass people meet the emperor, long live!"

"May I have your name?"

"Caomin Li Chong."

Wang Chengen presented the cigarette to Chongzhen, and Chongzhen said, "Did you make this cigarette?"

"God of the Lord, I dare not do it anymore. I will spare my life. Graham, there are old people and young people in the family, and I will never dare to do it again!"

In the Ming Dynasty, the courts have always banned this from both sides. They were caught in the palace for no reason, so Li Chong was of course afraid.

"Get up and talk."

Li Chong thought he had heard it wrong.

"Get up and talk." Chongzhen said again.

Only then did Li Chong dare to get up.

"Where did you get the leaves of this smoke?"

"Reply... I replied to the emperor. This was bought by Caomin from a businessman in the south. He said that this could make money. Caomin's family was too poor and could no longer afford to eat. There was no way, so he tried to plant some, not much. Later, after using it, he asked someone else to buy it and made it himself after buying it."

"You have planted it yourself, and you know how to plant it?"

"The grass people know a little. This thing likes warm places, and I plant less of it myself."

It seems that this kid is always on guard and is unwilling to continue talking.

Chongzhen said: "If you tell me the truth, I will not blame you for this matter. Not only will I, I will also plan to reuse you to ensure your glory and prosperity in the future."

Li Chong was stunned on the spot.

He seemed not to understand what the emperor said.

Glory and wealth?

When did the son actually promise himself wealth?

this……

"I have a golden word and a jade word, and you don't have to worry about it." Chongzhen's tone was kind. He thought for a while and asked, "Do you know some tobacco vendors?"

Li Chong hesitated for a moment and said, "Caomin, I know some planting vendors, and I have also looked for them... I have picked up some goods..."

"Okay, I'll give you money. I'll arrange someone to help you. I want you to make cigarettes for me, but it's not just this. I have a new type that needs to be studied by you."

Li Chong was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect the emperor to be interested in this thing.

"Look, if this kind of leaf is ground, can it be rolled up with a thin palm of paper and rolled to about the size of a finger? Not everyone needs this kind of pipe."

Li Chong became even more stupid when the emperor said this.

He has sold cigarettes for several years, but he has never seen a cigarette make like this before.

"so……"

"You try this way, don't worry. I will give you enough money to make it. Make it for me, and everything is easy to say."

Li Chong, a small commoner, didn't dare to ask anything more, just said, "Yes, yes, yes."

He only dared to agree, but he didn't know what to say next.

"You go back first, don't mention this matter. If anyone else knows it, I can't keep your head."

Li Chong was startled: "Caomin will never say a word."

Chongzhen asked Gao Qiqian to take the people out.

When he left the palace gate, Gao Qiqian said, "You are lucky and you are attracted by His Majesty. You will inevitably be rich and prosperous in the future."

"Please take care of me, father-in-law." Li Chong was still shaking his hands and his legs were weak at this time.

"It's okay, that's OK, is it okay to make that thing?"

"I'll try."

"It's best to do it. Our emperor is not easy to fool. You have heard that in the past few months, dozens of them have fallen into Caishikou's head."

"Yes, yes! It must be done!"

At this time, Chongzhen also had a clear mind.

There are small workshops in the people who need it, and it is impossible to ban them.

It is better to establish a large-scale production line, use large-scale shipments to lower prices, destroy small workshops, and then issue a policy prohibiting private production.
