Of course the ancients had their own baths, but how could soap be more convenient?

And adding some essence to this soap can adjust the smell.

However, the manufacturing process for this thing has not been set up yet.

Even if it is set up, not much can be made in a day. After all, the raw materials and manufacturing methods limit its supply.

It doesn't matter, the emperor has great resource advantages when doing business.

Make soap a top luxury product.

The world of rich people is so wonderful.

They are willing to spend 1,500 yuan on a bottle of drink, and they are also willing to spend tens of thousands of yuan on an extremely ugly bag.

A piece of clothing costing more than 100,000 yuan is thrown away after being worn for a while. If you buy a piece of clothing, wear it for a while and it gets damaged in the wash, and go to the merchant to argue, people will say that our clothes were not designed at the beginning.

wash.

dont wash?

That's right, wear it for a while and then throw it away. Who among the rich people washes their clothes?

This is a rich person.

What you earn is money from rich people!

Zhao Ning is not in a hurry about this matter.

In order to support this matter, Zhao Ning took out Wensi Academy alone.

What does Wen Si Yuan do?

The Wensi Yuan of the Song Dynasty was responsible for making gold, silver, rhinoceros and jade with exquisite craftsmanship, mining gold, painting, and decorating mother-of-pearl for carriages, treasure books, ritual objects, and other utensils and clothing.

It is a comprehensive production organization with 42 branches including embroidery, tailoring, silk shoe making, waist nailing, and silk carving.

The craftsmen inside grab a lot of them.

Later, Zhao Ning directly dismantled Taifu Temple and repositioned it.

Taifu Temple used to be in charge of trade and money during Wang Anshi's political reform.

This kind of repetitive yamen will stay there just to support the idle people. Now that new industry lines are being opened, everyone should come and work.

Time passed quickly, and Zhang Bangchang was taken from Longde Mansion to Tokyo amidst a chorus of curses.

It is said that Zhang Bangchang opened the city gate himself and surrendered, expressing his willingness to return to the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ning also ignored Zhang Bangchang for the time being.

But I heard that Zongze's momentum in Hebei is very strong.

As of July 20, the total amount of grain arriving at Damingfu's Yellow River port had reached 3 million shi, and countless ships came and went every day.

Moreover, Zhao Ning asked Zhang Shuye to allocate 5 million yuan to Zongze, and soldiers and civilians everywhere were working overnight to build the walled city.

In just over a month, ten fortresses have been built around Damingfu, Cizhou, and Xiangzhou.

The main thing is to have money and food.

Once people have money, they no longer need to beg.

If you have food, you don’t have to go hungry anymore.

Why was Yue Fei's army so powerful in history?

In addition to Yue Fei's strong military management, Yue Fei will provide the army with sufficient military pay, food and grass.

This is the most basic thing in fighting a war.

Why did the bald army collapse as soon as they were beaten?

Because military pay and food were embezzled by the upper class, frontline soldiers lived a very miserable life.

In order to fight the Battle of Mobei, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to each lead 50,000 cavalry to go north, but the number of logistical troops was as high as 400,000.

Therefore, once a war reaches the strategic level, logistics is largely the focus.

Defense lines were quickly set up in Hebei and Hedong. Of course, "newspapers" were indispensable at this time!

Zhao Ning people have made arrangements.

A young man named Ouyang Che.

A passionate young man, in history, he wrote a memorial with Chen Dong and was killed by Zhao Gou.

Since you are passionate, go to the front line and be a "reporter" for me!

Go to Hebei to publicize the main battle, use newspapers to unify the minds of literate people, and then organize people to appeal to illiterate farmers.

In the vast land of Hebei and Hedong, the flames of resistance to gold are burning!

Of course, Ouyang Che did not go directly to the official, but went there as an official.

This is not important, anyway, officials will make major reforms in the future.

The most important thing at this time is to add fuel to the flames and strengthen the anti-gold defense lines in Hebei and Hedong.

On July 22, Sun Fu arrived in Shaanxi.

He met Zhang Jun.

"I'm going to see Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Jun was only thirty years old this year.

Last year, Zhang Jun was still the editor of the Privy Council, a small official under the Privy Council, while Sun Fu was the Privy Councilor Tongzhi and the second-in-command of the Privy Council.

Now the identities of both parties are completely different.

Times are really changeable.

"Bo Ye, I have received your Majesty's secret letter and have prepared everything for you. You can just go north."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

"By the way, you can promise Brother Richard that the place of mutual trade will be in Huizhou on the edge of the Yellow River, and we will fully protect his people."

"I'm tired, Mr. Zhang."

Sun Fu didn't stop much in Shaanxi, so he went all the way north. On July 25th, he left the border of the Song Dynasty and entered the country of Xixia.

By July 30th, Sun Fu arrived at Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xixia Kingdom, as an envoy of the Song Dynasty.

But Li Qianshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, did not receive Sun Fu immediately.

Sun Fu was arranged to stay in the embassy.

He was left alone for three days, with no one asking him questions and no one coming to entertain him.

It was not until the fourth day of August that a man named Li He who was traveling with Sun Fu found out that it was an envoy from the Kingdom of Jin who had arrived.

Only then did Sun Fu understand why the leader of the Xixia Kingdom did not want to see him.

It’s not that I don’t want to see it, it’s that I don’t dare to see it.

"Li He, it doesn't matter if you can't see Master Xia. Meeting Brother Richard is the most important thing. You go bribe the people under Brother Richard and try to see Brother Richard."

"Yes, don't worry."

Three days later, that is, the seventh day of August.

Zhang Chunming, a counselor under Brother Richard, arrived at the Jin Palace.

"Your Majesty."

"Why did Mr. Zhang come to see me?"

"Your Majesty, our empire is in danger, please come forward and make the decision."

"Oh, sir, what do you mean by this?"

"Will the Golden Envoy come to see your Majesty?"

"There is such a thing."

"Does the envoy of Jin ask me to send troops together to attack Song Dynasty at the end of this year?"

"It's true."

"What does your Majesty think of this?"

Brother Richard still respects Zhang Chunming very much. As long as the Han people are knowledgeable, they will be reused in Xixia. Zhang Chunming is one of the counselors that Brother Richard values ​​highly.

"This matter has not yet been decided. Your Majesty is still discussing it with the Golden Envoy."

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, how did the Liao Kingdom fall?"

"Of course he was destroyed by the Jin people."

"No, the Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the Song and Jin Dynasties together."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"After the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, how did the Jin Kingdom treat the Song Dynasty?"

Brother Richard said: "Sir, what you mean is that if we destroy the Song Dynasty together with the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom will turn around and use troops against us?"

"Your Majesty must have already understood this, so why should I remind you?"

Brother Richard sighed and said: "Of course I know the stakes, but the Kingdom of Jin is too powerful."

"Your Majesty, why don't you meet with the envoy of Song Dynasty first and listen to what the envoy of Song Dynasty has to say."

Brother Richard asked: "Do you have any contact with the envoy of Song Dynasty, sir?"

Zhang Chunming said: "To be honest with you, they found me and bribed me with a lot of money, hoping to see you and discuss the alliance between the two countries in detail."

Zhang Chunming is honest. He knows that Brother Richard is a very smart person. Brother Richard knows some things even if he doesn't say them. It would be better if he said them.

"Song and Xia are feuding countries, so it may be difficult to form an alliance."
