    Looking at her son being carried back in a large sedan chair, Princess Yu¡¯s tears fell one after another.

    After finally waiting for the Qianniu Guards and the eunuchs to leave and ask what exactly happened, Princess Yu burst into tears.

    And she was crying and scolding: "You guys named Liu are nothing! It's okay for the emperor to punish my son, but is it necessary to hit him with sixty blows? Isn't this afraid of beating people up?"

    And Brother Four Emperors, is he a hard-hearted person?  My son is already in such a miserable condition, why should he be taken to the clan mansion for punishment?  Is there any sense of brotherhood?  ah?  "

    Next to him, King Yu could only laugh and didn't dare to say a word.

    What else are you talking about?

    Whenever you say something, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, you will definitely be scolded.

    But seeing his son being beaten so hard that he couldn't get up, King Yu also complained about his second emperor brother.

    Look what kind of son you gave birth to!

    "You reported these kids to the Embroidery Guard when they were playing around for a small amount of money?"

    You really deserve to be beaten so badly!

    "Okay, Dad, Mom, my son did something wrong this time. Don't be sad. I won't do this again in the future." Lying on the bed, Liu Mingqi said feebly: "Let me rest for a few more days. It's better."  Summarize the lessons learned.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, yeah, yeah.¡±

    When Princess Yu heard this, she nodded and said, "Son, you should take good care of yourself and wait until you are fully recovered. As for the money issue, don't worry, mother will send it to them in the next two days. But I'm sorry! They are so embarrassed to accept this.  money!"

    "Does our family have enough money?" Liu Mingqi asked.

    "Enough! Enough!" King Yu showed his presence at this time, "Didn't the emperor reward you with three thousand taels of gold now? We don't have many places to use the money. We have saved a lot over the years, and we have a total of eight  It only takes two or three years to earn back ten thousand taels of silver."

    Neither husband nor wife asked why Liu Mingqi had to bear so much.

    Since Liu Mingqi escaped from death in the river, the couple's biggest hope for their son is to be safe, and nothing else matters.

    Although they spoke lightly, Liu Mingqi also understood that the family's foundation was not as strong as they said.

    "But Princess Yu is very smart. What she said was to change the compensation directly into silver instead of gold, which reduced the loss.

    If you take gold to an outside bank to exchange it, you can get an exchange rate of one to one point three. One tael of gold can be exchanged for one, two or three taels of silver. In this way, you can exchange more than 6,000 taels of gold for 80,000 taels of silver.

    When the time comes, I have given 80,000 taels of silver to Prince Li¡¯s Mansion, do they still dare to deny it?

    ??This is the official one-to-ten exchange. I don¡¯t have gold, so I can only use silver to compensate. Isn¡¯t that okay?

    The emperor will not blame me for this!

    But no matter what, more than 6,000 taels of gold is still 80,000 taels of silver. For Prince Yu's Mansion, it is equivalent to the entire income without food or drink for a year.

    There are only three core people in the family, but the number of servants, servants, and their families in the family totals more than 200 people.

    Having to be responsible for the food, drink, and toileting of so many people, plus the various favors related to weddings and funerals, King Yu and Princess Yu are not stingy, and the prince¡¯s salary will not leave much.

    The business at home is not big.

    There are only five restaurants around the capital. They can only be considered small and medium-sized, and their income of a few thousand taels is not much.

    That is to say, the "Double Salary of the Crown Prince" for which Liu Mingqi was named the Crown Prince, as well as the rewards from the emperor's festivals, are what can be saved every year, and then used for various emergency reserves, and to keep Liu Mingqi's wife's book.

    ¡° Now that we have lost so much money, it is equivalent to having no income for a year, and the expenses are still the same. Naturally, Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion is in a pinch.

    ¡­¡­

    After his parents left, Liu Mingqi asked Dazhu to call Tian Rong, the housekeeper of the family, to come over.

    Today¡¯s Dazhu was not captured and beaten by the Xiuyi Guards like Chi San yesterday.

    Since today they were going to beat up a prince and a member of the clan, it didn¡¯t matter to Liu Mingqi and the others, it could only be regarded as an internal conflict.

    But if it were this group of slaves who helped fight, no matter how generous Emperor Jinghe was, Dazhu and the others would have their hands and feet broken and be sent to the frontier fortress.

    So they all stood aside and watched, and then waited until their young master and young lady were arrested, and then went to report the news at home.

    In fact, before King Li and King Su entered the palace, many members of the clan had already arrived.

    In ordinary times, the poor people at most use some semi-solidified liquid made from soap locust to scrub their bodies, or they can directly soak their bodies with plant ash in water and then scrub their bodies.

    These two things will definitely leave a lot of residue, which is not very comfortable to wash, and the decontamination effect is very average.

    The soap is much better, but its smell is not very good, and the decontamination effect is still far behind that of regular soap.

    Even in 2020, no matter what other cleaning products are boasted, in terms of stain removal effect, nothing can compare with soap.

    The main reason why soap has a good decontamination effect is that part of it is a polar carboxyl group, which is easily soluble in water, hydrophilic and oil-repellent, so it is called a hydrophilic group; the other part is a non-polar hydrocarbon group, which is insoluble in water.  It is soluble in oil, lipophilic and water-repellent, so it is called hydrophobic group.

    When washing hands or clothes, the hydrophobic base will combine with oil stains, while the hydrophilic base will closely combine with water and tightly wrap the dirt. When repeated friction occurs, foam will be formed and the dirt will be brought into the water.

    This is all the principles.

    But there is also one thing. People often say that washing hands with too much soap will burn their hands. That is because there is a lot of caustic soda in soap, and using too much will naturally damage the skin and mucous membranes.

    But that was also a matter of the industrial era. The soap made by Liu Mingqi now is far worse than that of the industrial era in terms of proportions and purity of materials, and the effect is not as overbearing.

    "Hey, Your Highness, how come the water has become so dirty?" Dazhu was an honest man. When he was cleaning, he saw that the clean water turned dirty instantly, and he was very surprised.

    When he took out his hand again, he was even more shocked: "Wow, is this my hand? Why is it so white!?"

    Tian Rong, who was standing next to him, kept staring at him. Without saying a word, he directly grabbed his hand and compared it with his own.

    As the chief steward of Prince Yu's Mansion, Tian Rong's life is very good, so he also has soap at home, which he can use every once in a while.

    But comparing the two people¡¯s hands, Tian Rong¡¯s hands looked like those of an old farmer. They were so dark that he was a little embarrassed to look at them.

    ¡­¡­

    Note: After looking through the information, unless it is modern industrial production, handmade soap production will take more than a month, or even two or three months, just to mature.

    Therefore, if you figure out a way today, you will not be able to make soap tomorrow. What you will get is a lump of paste.

    In addition, our country should have had a simple version of soap since the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was called bath beans at that time, and later became popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.  In the Ming Dynasty's strange book "Golden Plum Blossoms", a senior official from Ximen mentioned that he used "jasmine soap".  Of course, it is different from modern ones.

    According to the local chronicles of Zhangjiakou, the most powerful alkaline soil business in Zhangjiakou in the mid-Qing Dynasty was the Qiao family in Qi County, that is, the Qiao family in the Qiao family compound. This should be one of their primitive accumulations.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
