Chapter 22 Prelude to the launch of perfume
Li Yan returned to the palace, and before his butt was hot, Yang Fei called him to the palace, so he naturally scolded him again. Li Yan secretly called him unlucky, but he also accepted it. He didn't care about that Luo Xiaoyi, but these guys trusted him more and more, which was worth more than anything else.
Thinking of the perfume halfway, Li Yan sent Jin Daqian to call Tong Nian to the royal palace. Although the perfume has not been produced now, the production of the fragrance has not stopped for a moment.
Generally speaking, blending perfume requires flavor, alcohol and distilled water. Now Li Yan can easily get these three ingredients, and the distiller he bought is by no means a decoration.
With the ingredients, the rest is easy to solve, mix and stir.
In the back hall workshop of the royal palace, Li Yan took Tong Nian to ask the workers to start making perfume on the spot. Tong Nian was very excited. He didn't expect Li Yan to let him participate in such a major event, and he was excited to walk, but what he didn't know was that fragrance is the most important part of perfume, and the fragrances on the scene were all ready-made, and he still didn't see any actual content.
"By the way, I asked you to inspect the market last time. Have you gone?" Li Yan asked Tong Nian standing beside him while guiding the servants.
"How dare you forget what Your Highness told me that the young man has. The current incense products in Chang'an City are mainly balm, fragrant cake, balm, fragrant powder, and fragrant pills. They are divided into application, internal use, worn and burned. I bought all these incense products and let the wife try them one by one. They are not as expensive as our perfume. The most expensive of these incense products is the rose balm from Persia. A small bottle sold for five jin of money, but even so, there is no need to supply."
"Violence, no-naked violence, how can the money from the Tang Dynasty be made away by those foreigners? I decided to sell our perfume for ten cents!" Li Yan looked indignant.
Tong Nian gave a thumbs up, "Your Highness, I have also figured it out like this. Our perfume is much stronger than that perfume. I think it's sold less in ten coins. Your Highness, how much do you plan to give a bottle to a small one?"
"This?" Tong Nian made a lot of effort this time, and Li Yan thought about making a little profit, saying, "The cost of removing your spices is to be sold to you for 9,000 cents, what do you think?"
One bottle earns 500 cigarettes, and ten bottles are 5 cigarettes. Tong Nian looked at the big jar stirring by the servants. This batch of bottles can be worth 5,000 cigarettes. This is the income of 2,500 cigarettes, and it makes a big profit.
"Your Highness says it's as much as you say. How dare you say it's so bad!" Tong Nian started to behave.
Li Yan laughed twice, and did not expose him. Historical records show that when Wu Zetian was in power, the perfume appeared in Chang'an for the first time, which made the entire Chang'an city crazy. The perfume in his hand was hundreds of times more confident than that perfume, and I don't know what kind of disturbances it would cause.
Tong Nian left the palace with peace of mind, and Li Yan returned to the Tang Dynasty Auction House from the study. He left for half a month, and he didn't know if there was anything he needed to decide on himself.
When she arrived at the office, Yang Suxin walked in in an office outfit and pushed the door open. Li Yan looked at her for the first time. She had her capable short hair, oval face, very white skin, delicate facial features, and slightly hard lines. She looked like a strong woman's style.
"Report the company's recent situation!"
For Yang Suxin, it felt a bit uncomfortable to be looked at by a teenager in his fifteens and sixteens with the eyes of an adult. Fortunately, Li Yan watched it for a while and then started playing with the computer, and she finally relaxed.
The content of Yang Suxin's report proves that the company's operations are normal and continues to make profits, which is not much different from Haoyu's previous operational situation.
After listening to the report, Li Yan made two calls, and the manufacturer told him that all papermaking equipment and printing equipment had been produced.
After giving the manufacturer the address, Li Yan asked the manufacturer to transport all the equipment to the old house, and then returned to the royal palace.
After stirring the perfume stock solution for another three days, Li Yan asked his servants to start bottling. This time, Li Yan became smart. Each small bottle can only contain twenty milliliters of perfume. After all, this tank has 200 liters. This is ten thousand bottles of perfume, which is twice as much as Tong Nian expected.
The servants bought a few luxurious rosewood boxes. Li Yan packed four bottles of perfume in a box. As the saying goes, the goods are not good and the packaging is good. What's more, the things Li Yan is holding are high-end, atmospheric and high-end perfumes. He is preparing to try it for Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun before entering the palace. First, this is the thing he produced, and it is too unreasonable not to give them the first one to try it. After all, one is their mother and the other is their mother. Secondly, he also wants to establish a good relationship in the ** so that they can blow the wind in Li Shimin's ears and ask for love for themselves at critical moments, such as the death penalty can be changed to a reprieve.
After registering with Zhao Kai, the assistant minister of the Huangmen, Li Yan first went to Empress Changsun. Concubine Yang explained to him more than once that this was for his own good.
Li Yan's request for a visit still surprised Empress Changsun. Li Shimin also told her about the fight between Li You and Li Yan. She agreed with Li Shimin's decision. No rules can make a square basis. She was about to call Li Yan to the palace to teach her.
"Sons meet with the mother!" Under the guidance of Zhao Kai, Li Yan met Empress Changsun who was reading a book in the garden.
"Get up!" Empress Changsun put down the ancient books in her hand, "No one bullies you in the prison cell of the government office!"
"My son knows that he is wrong!" Empress Changsun was hiding in her words, and Li Yan immediately admitted her mistake sincerely.
Empress Changsun stood up and walked to Li Yan, "Your Majesty's impression of you has changed a little and you gave him a surprise. The two princes were jealous and fought for a woman in smoke and dust. How could it be?" But her tone became stern.
"Mother, I am really wronged. Li You beat Lu Boyan and said rudely, so I started fighting with him!" Li Yan was a little puzzled. Why did he have an affair with Luo Xiaoyi? He didn't even know what she looked like? Isn't it a loss, so he told the whole story.
Empress Changsun Liumei Qingsuo, Li Yan and Changsun Wuji must have been lying. When she thought of something, she sighed, "Even if you are telling the truth, it is not appropriate for a prince to go in and out of the fireworks streets. This Yin Concubine is so, she is too doting to Li You!"
"The mother taught her a lesson!" Empress Changsun's attitude was obviously on the side of her, and Li Yan wrote a V-word in her heart.
"Also, although your mother is a princess of the previous dynasty, it is all in the past. I don't know what the ministers think, but the emperor and I treat you, Ke'er and other princes equally. You don't have to belittle yourself for this." Empress Changsun comforted Li Yan again.
A little grateful, Li Yan hurriedly took out the brocade box in his hand, "Mother, my son is actually here to honor you this time." As he said that, he opened the brocade box, four exquisite celadon bottles lying at the bottom of the brocade box, with a cotton plug tightly stuffed on the mouth of the bottle...
