The money was placed in the underground vault of the main building by Dazhu and a few of his most trusted servants.
Then he left ten boxes with a total of ten thousand taels of silver to send to the soap workshop later.
Even the people in the soap workshop don¡¯t know that the liquid they separate when making soap is the most important raw material for making floral essential oils.
The biggest contributors are actually them.
Princess Yu could not praise them openly, but she rewarded them well in the name of "the house has made money and everyone has worked hard and achieved great results".
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not stand on the stairway, looking at the dozens of boxes filled with silver, Princess Yu was intoxicated for a rare moment.
It¡¯s also very difficult for her to run this family. She has to take care of hundreds of people¡¯s food, drink, and toilet, and she has to take everything into consideration.
Being the controller of an ancient palace is not as simple as just enjoying the services of others.
If you don¡¯t give corresponding things, such as affection, financial rewards, etc., then even if you are the master, your life will not be easy.
Is the emperor powerful enough?
But Emperor Jiajing was almost strangled to death by his maid.
And Emperor Jiaqing, hundreds of ordinary people broke into the palace and wanted to kill him. If it weren't for the help of the eunuchs and maids in the palace, how could these people get through the heavy guards?
Therefore, if you want to have a harmonious home and live a good life, thunderous means are definitely indispensable, but gifts and rewards are also absolutely indispensable.
?? In the past, Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion relied on the prince¡¯s double salary, the prince¡¯s double salary, five restaurants, and gifts from the palace to earn almost more than 50,000 taels of silver a year.
It seems like a lot, but there are two to three hundred people in the house, and they have to eat, drink, and wear clothes every day. It¡¯s a lot of expenses scattered here and there.
There are also monthly payments given to them, rewards during New Years and holidays, weddings and funerals, all of which have to be accounted for.
In addition, the movement of relatives in the clan and all kinds of favors and etiquette all cost money, and must not be left out, so as not to lose their identity.
By spending this way, you can save ten thousand taels of silver in a year, which is pretty good.
It¡¯s been nearly twenty years since I got married, and I haven¡¯t even saved two hundred thousand taels of silver.
It can be imagined how great the pressure was on the former Princess Yu as the head of the family.
Last time Liu Mingqi led a crowd to beat Duke Minghua of Lu, and the family lost 80,000 taels of silver. Although Princess Yu said it was okay, she felt a little sad in her heart.
"My parents are incompetent, and it would take a lot of effort to settle anything for their son. What should I do if something happens in the future?"
However, she never expected that her son would become more and more intelligent. Not only did he receive the crown prince's three-year salary from the emperor, but he also invented soap.
Although a piece of soap "only" sells for one tael of silver, the profit is almost a full fifty times. The more you sell, the more you get.
In the blink of an eye, Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion had received ten or twenty thousand taels of silver, which made her feel relieved.
This is nothing.
It was originally just a by-product of soap production. After being carefully refined and prepared by my son, it turned into floral essential oil, which is of great benefit to the skin of the face and the whole body.
Then he said something about this floral essential oil and asked if he could sell it.
So, today¡¯s grand occasion happened!
By selling ten thousand bottles, you can actually earn a full one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Looking at so much silver in front of her, Princess Yu¡¯s heart was tested several times.
The happiness came so suddenly that she felt unreal.
Even now, with the money already in the basement, she was suddenly still confused.
Princess Yu suddenly turned her head and asked Liu Mingqi who was standing next to her: "Son, you said they won't feel cheated. It's too expensive, so they won't buy it after buying it once, right?"
"Of course not." Liu Mingqi smiled, "Not to mention the current customers, those who got the trial version, will soon be crying and begging us to sell more!"
"Butthe profit from this is really too much. I'm worried that there won't be any anymore" Princess Yu took his hand and said, "Do you think we need to better guard the secret recipe and the workshop?"
"We have specially sent guards there. Besides, there is the Xiuyiwei Yamen a few meters away. It is safer than our house. Mother, please stop thinking so wildly."
Liu Mingqi smiled, helped her onto the ground, and found a chair to sit down on.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?He also asked her to find a suitable shop in the inner city and buy it to specialize in the sale of floral essential oils.
Nowadays, the floral essential oil workshop in Yuwangfu can produce more than 200 kilograms of floral essential oil and more than 1,000 bottles of floral essential oil every day.
After the lard is separated by heating and chemical reaction, in principle, a glycerin extraction rate of 5% can be achieved.
But that¡¯s in a laboratory and a modern factory.
Nowadays, the glycerol obtained by the original method in ancient times was lost due to various reasons, as well as purification, impurity removal, deodorization and other processes. The proportion of glycerin that was finally turned into essential oil was only about one percent.
Liu Mingqi could do nothing about such waste.
The development of the entire chemical industry cannot be accomplished simply. It requires comprehensive progress driven by the entire discipline.
¡°That¡¯s all we can do now, let¡¯s just waste a little bit of it, since not everyone in the world will use it anyway.
Floral essential oils also need to soak the flowers for about fifteen to twenty days to allow the floral fragrance to stay in the essential oils before they can be sold as finished products.
So what is being sold now is still inventory half a month or even a month or two ago.
¡°If we sell at today¡¯s rate, all the inventory will be used up in seven days at most, and then we have to wait another ten days and a half for a new batch to come out.
It is naturally impossible for Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion to do business like this.
I believe that Princess Yu also has her own way of operating it.
¡¡
Note: As for the proportion of glycerol secreted after refining lard, I have limited knowledge after all. I can only search online and find answers ranging from 4%, 5%, 6% or even 10%. The middle value of 5% shall prevail. In ancient times, process losses, etc., the yield rate of 1% should be consistent with reality. If there is any absurdity, please correct me.
