    In the evening, Miaowei Tower was closed, and Tian Rongcai returned to Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion with a melancholy look on his face.

    Liu Mingqi, who was recovering from his injuries, was lying on the couch, writing and drawing something.

    There is no way, this injury is too embarrassing, and the most taboo thing is to move around, so during this period of time, Liu Mingqi can only sleep on his stomach.

    Seeing Tian Rong come in and looking at his face, Liu Mingqi said in surprise, "Old Tian, ??don't tell me that not a single piece of soap was sold today."

    "Sold for five yuan." Tian Rong took out the money with some frustration, "It turned out that they spent more than ten yuan just for the trial, and they had to fill hundreds of pots of water. In the end, I just asked them to scoop a spoonful of water.  Flushed.¡±

    "Is the restaurant business so good?" Liu Mingqi said with a smile.

    "Not all of them are guests, but ordinary people who are looking for something strange." Tian Rong said, "Since you said that as long as someone comes, let him try it, I will go all out and want more people to feel the benefits of soap.  In order to sell more. But in the end, it was still not sold.¡±

    "This is how business is done. If you promote it, it may not be effective, but if you don't promote it, it won't be of any use." Liu Mingqi said, "Speaking of which, who bought it?"

    "There is just one person named Yang Ming, who is in the side tea business." Tian Rong explained Yang Ming's origins, and then told Liu Mingqi the details of how Yang Ming found him, "So although there is nothing  The sales are not ideal, but I think this business is quite promising. We don¡¯t have to pay any costs except manufacturing, and we can make a lot of money!¡±

    "hehe."

    Liu Mingqi smiled.

    Tian Rong was not an idiot. He could tell at a glance that he was dissatisfied and asked: "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"

    "The reason why you think so is that you don't know what channel is king, and you have never heard of the story of Apple and Foxconn." Liu Mingqi said slowly.

    "Apple? Foxconn?" Tian Rong was confused. "I have never heard of Foxconn. What happened to him eating apples?"

    "This apple is not for eating, and Foxconn is not a human being."

    "If you say that, I don't understand it even more."

    "Old Tian, ??you just need to know that people who make things honestly may not necessarily make a lot of money. But people who master the sales channels will definitely make a lot of money. That's enough." Liu Mingqi said, "This Yang  Ming, he is treating us like fools! I don¡¯t believe he wants to sell it on the grassland for two or three taels less than a piece of silver."

    "Can it be sold at such an expensive price?" Tian Rong didn't believe it at all, "No one in the capital is buying it!"

    "No one in the capital is buying it because the benefits of soap have not yet reached the ears of the upper class." Liu Mingqi said, "As for soap on the grasslands, it is a necessity. As long as they need it, they will be willing to spend it.  Moneyjust look at their attitude towards tea, sugar and silk."

    The above three products have been the most needed supplies on the grassland in all dynasties, including another time and space.

    Of course they need ironware more, but except for the shameless Shanxi merchants in the late Ming Dynasty, not many people dared to sell ironware to them blatantly.

    Comparatively speaking, porcelain, a good thing that sells well at home and abroad, is less important than the previous ones because the prairie people migrated too much and the place they lived was not suitable for displaying such fragile porcelain.

    As for soap, it didn¡¯t enter China until the opening of the port in the late Qing Dynasty, so the grassland people had no chance to enjoy this kind of treasure in ancient times.

    Considering the greasy environment on the grassland and their daily hygiene habits, soap is a godsend to them. It is basically impossible for people to live without it after using it.

    Liu Mingqi very much agrees with what Yang Ming said, that is, the tribal leaders and nobles are the sales targets of soap.

    Although there are not many such people in a tribe, how many tribes are there in the grasslands and plateaus of the northwest?

    The population on the grassland is not calculated according to people, but according to one tent, which is equivalent to one household in ours.

    With hundreds of tents, a small tribe can be formed. If calculated this way, there would be at least tens of thousands.

    As long as there are thousands of tribes, it is enough to meet the sales volume of tens of thousands of soaps a year, and it may not even be enough.

    The difficulty is just how to sell it.

    It is definitely too time-consuming and unrealistic for a merchant to sell products one by one.

    If Liu Mingqi thought about it himself, it would naturally be the "channel" approach he just mentioned, dividing the entire northwest prairie plateau.p; "Hey, old man, why did you jump in line?"

    "Yes, hurry up and go behind!"

    "Everyone is waiting, don't break the rules, or the people from Prince Yu's Palace will slap you!"

    A group of middle-aged and elderly people were frothing at the mouth and scolding Tian Rong.

    The guy next to Tian Rong originally spoke first, but was pulled by Tian Rong and backed away with a smile.

    He is not stupid. If he is shouted out now that he is the butler of Prince Yu's Mansion, what if everyone swarms up and accidentally tramples him to death?

    So Tian Rong made a big circle and entered Miaowei Building through the back door.

    He went directly to the lobby on the first floor.

    From a distance, I saw several fat guys blocking the door of the lobby. Although the crowd outside was crowded, they did not press in impulsively.

    They all craned their necks to look at the dozen men and women standing in the lobby.

    The men washed their hands with soap, and then the men poured water over their hands from rice bowls, and the dirty water ran into large buckets on the ground.

    This can save water, manpower and material resources.

Otherwise, you have to pour a basin of water to wash your hands once, and the guys will not be able to do anything else and will be too busy.

    Note: Queuing up for free soap is not unusual, nor is it exclusive to the ancients.  In the 1980s, in order to experience the new toilets of the White Swan Hotel built by Mr. Huo, people in Guangzhou lined up to overcrowd the newly opened five-star hotel. People who used the toilets for free lined up on the street outside the lobby.  .  By the way, my last book "Rebirth: The Strongest Life" contains many interesting anecdotes about that era. It is a high-quality product with over 10,000 orders. It is worth reading for gentlemen~~

    To answer a book friend¡¯s question, ¡°Is there a 500-step-wide pedestrian street in ancient my country?¡± First of all, I have never written that Imperial Street is a pedestrian street.  Then "Tokyo Menghua Lu" records, "The Imperial Street of Bianliang in the Song Dynasty was 200 steps wide and more than 10 miles long." I set the Dakang Emperor's capital to be three times its size, 500 steps wide and 30 miles long.  In addition, the Royal Street is not a pedestrian street, it also includes the Emperor's Royal Road, carriage lanes, and shops.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
