My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty-Chapter 22: Prelude to the launch of perfume
When Li Yin returned to the palace, he was called to the palace by Concubine Yang before his **** was hot. Naturally, he was reprimanded again. Li Yin secretly called it unlucky, but he also admitted it. The buddies trusted him more and more, which was worth more than anything else.
Thinking about the perfume on the way, Li Yin sent Jin Daqian to call Tong Nian to the palace. Although the perfume has not been produced yet, the production of essence has not stopped for a moment.
Generally speaking, blending perfume requires essence, alcohol and distilled water. Li Yin can easily obtain these three materials now, and the distiller he bought is by no means a decoration.
With the materials, the rest is easy to solve, just mix and stir.
In the apse workshop of the palace, Li Yin took Tong Nian to let the workers start making perfume on the spot. Tong Nian was very excited. He didn't expect that Li Yin would let him participate in such an important event. He walked with excitement, but he didn't know. What's more, the essence is the most important part of the perfume, and the essences on site are all ready-made, and he still hasn't seen any actual content.
"By the way, I asked you to inspect the market last time, did you go?" Li Yin asked Tong Nian who was standing aside while guiding his servants.
"How dare you forget what your Highness told you. The current fragrances in Chang'an City are mainly ointments, cakes, balms, powders, and pills. They are divided into application, oral administration, wearing and burning. I have all these fragrances. I bought it and asked my wife to try it one by one, but none of them can compare to our perfumes, and the most expensive of these perfumes is the rose balm from Persia. A small bottle is sold for five pennies, but even so, the supply is in short supply. "
"Violence, naked violence, how can I let those foreign devils take away the money of the Tang Dynasty, I have decided, our perfume sells for ten pennies a bottle!" Li Yin looked filled with righteous indignation.
Tong Nian gave a thumbs up, "Your Highness, Shengming, I also figured this out. Our perfume is much better than that balm. I think the ten copper coins are sold too little. Your Highness, do you plan to buy a bottle?" How much for the little one?"
"This?" Tong Nian put in a lot of effort this time, and Li Yin thought about letting him earn some money, and said, "Excluding the cost of your spices, I'll sell you a bottle of Jiuguan for 500 Wen, what do you think?" Sample?"
One bottle earns five hundred coins, and ten bottles is five guan. Tong Nian looked at the big vat being stirred by the servants. The first batch of this batch was worth 5,000 yuan. This is an income of 2,500 guan, a big profit. Earn extra money.
"As much as your Highness says, how dare you say no!" Tong Nian acted like a good boy.
Li Yin chuckled twice, but did not expose him. According to historical records, when Wu Zetian was in power, perfume appeared in Chang'an for the first time, which made the whole city of Chang'an go crazy. The perfume in his hand is hundreds of times more confident than that perfume. I don't know what kind of waves it will cause.
Tong Nian left the palace with peace of mind, and Li Yin returned to the Datang Auction House from the study. He had been away for half a month, and he didn't know if there was anything he needed to decide by himself.
At the office, Yang Suxin opened the door and walked in wearing office attire. It was the first time Li Yin looked at her formally. She has short hair, an oval face, fair skin, delicate features, and slightly rigid lines. At first glance, she looks like a strong woman. style of.
"Let's report on the company's recent situation!"
For Yang Suxin, being looked at by a fifteen-year-old boy with an adult's gaze was a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Li Yin watched it for a while and then started playing on the computer, and then she relaxed.
Yang Suxin's report proves that the company is operating normally and continues to make profits, which is not much different from Haoyu's previous operation.
After listening to the report, Li Yin made two phone calls, and the manufacturer told him that all the papermaking equipment and printing equipment had been produced.
Given the address of the manufacturer, Li Yin asked the manufacturer to transport all the equipment to the old house, and then returned to the palace.
After stirring the original perfume liquid, it was aged for another three days. Li Yin asked his servants to start bottling. This time, Li Yin learned to be smart. Each small bottle can only hold 20 milliliters of perfume. No matter how you say, there are 200 liters in this cylinder. This is 10,000 bottles of perfume. , more than double what Tong Nian expected.
Asked the servants to buy some expensive red sandalwood boxes, and Li Yin packed four bottles of perfume in one box. He is planning to enter the palace and try it on Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun first. Firstly, it is something he produced himself. It would be shameful not to give them the first trial. After all, one of them is his concubine mother and the other His mother, secondly, he also wanted to build a good relationship in the court, so that they could listen to him in Li Shimin's ears, and plead for him at critical moments, for example, it would be fine if the death penalty could be changed to a reprieve.
After registering with Zhao Kai, the servant of Huangmen, Li Yin first went to Empress Changsun, and Concubine Yang told him more than once that it was for his own good.
Empress Changsun was a little surprised by Li Yin's request for an audience. Li Shimin also told her about the fight between Li You and Li Yin. She was in favor of Li Shimin's decision. Teach it.
"The sons and ministers see the queen mother!" Under Zhao Kai's guidance, Li Yin saw the eldest grandson queen who was reading a book in the garden.
"Get up!" Empress Changsun put down the ancient book in her hand, "No one will bully you in the cell of the government office!"
"I know I was wrong!" Empress Changsun was hiding something in her words, and Li Yin immediately admitted her mistake sincerely.
Empress Changsun stood up and walked to Li Yin's side, "Your Majesty's impression of you has just changed, and you gave him a surprise, two princes are jealous and fight over a dusty woman, how decent is it!" The tone became severe. .
"Mother, my son was really wronged. It was Li You who beat Lu Boyan and spoke rudely, so my son made a move with him!" Li Yin was a little puzzled, why there was an affair between him and Luo Xiaoyi, and he even She doesn't know what she looks like, isn't it too bad, so she tells the whole story.
Empress Changsun locked her brows lightly. One of Li Yin and Changsun Wuji must have lied. Thinking of something, she sighed, "Even if what you said is true, it's not proper for a prince to go out and about in the streets of fireworks, and so is this Concubine Yin." , spoiling Li You too much!"
"The mother's lesson is!" Empress Changsun's attitude was obviously on her side, and Li Yin felt a V in his heart.
"Also, although your mother and concubine are former princesses, that is all in the past. I don't know what the ministers think, but the emperor and I treat you and Ke'er the same as other princes and princesses. You don't have to Because of this, you belittle yourself." Empress Changsun comforted Li Yin again. 𝙛𝐫𝑒𝐞𝘄ℯ𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝙚𝘭. c𝘰m
A little grateful, Li Yin hurriedly took out the brocade box in his hand, "Mother, my son is actually here to honor you this time." He opened the brocade box, and four exquisite celadon vases were lying on the bottom of the brocade box. There is a cotton cork tightly stuck on the bottle mouth...
