Will I know later? I just want to satisfy my curiosity in advance. “
Li Xuanba said: “I didn’t hide it from my cousin, but I just didn’t think about what to say. “
Yang Zhao said: “Then think about it slowly?” “
Li Xuanba pretended to ponder for a while and said, “I want to make a better bathing product than bath beans in that land, called soap. ”
Yang Zhao was puzzled: “What soap? ”
Li Xuan said: “The fragrance is fragrant, the soap of soap. ”
The land chosen by Li Xuanba is located in the original Chang’an City.
After Emperor Wen of Sui established the capital of Chang’an, Chang’an had been the capital for hundreds of years. The groundwater salinization was very serious and it was impossible to drink at all, so Daxing City was newly built on the south slope of Longshouyuan in the southeast.
The original Chang’an City became a village with rare population due to the dilapidation of the land.
But because the nobles originally lived in the old Chang’an City, the land near Chang’an City was in the hands of the nobles. Although after they moved, these severe salinization lands were useless, Yang Zhao took some effort to buy them all.
Li Xuanba chose the land in the old Chang’an City, because no one wanted this land, and it would not cause jealousy if he took it; the other was that this land could produce earth alkali, and the earth alkali could make solidified soap after filtering it.
Moreover, although it is difficult to harvest rice, wheat and millet in this area, it can only grow soybeans. Soybeans are a very good oil crop, and they can be used as soap base.
Although soybean oil contains a lot of linoleic acid, it will cause the soap to gradually soften and produce oil after three months. But isn’t that better?
People who can afford his soap, would they want to use a piece of soap for four or five months? That’s too shameful to the noble face.
“Just bath beans? “Yang Zhao was unwilling to believe it, and Li Xuanba only pursued this little thing.
Li Xuanba said: “It’s soap, not bath beans. ”
Yang Zhao shook his head: “Is there any difference? The bath beans used in the palace are mixed with dozens of powder ground into petals, spices, and medicinal materials. Can you make better bath beans than this? The bath beans in the noble family are made by themselves and will not buy them from others. Do you still want to sell it to ordinary people? ”
Li Xuanba said: “Cousin will know then. Now I can’t say it clearly by just speaking. “
Yang Zhao blinked, and a cunning look appeared on his chubby face: “Do you want to make a bet? ”
Li Xuanba immediately shook his head: “If you don’t gamble, gambling is not good. “
Yang Zhao didn’t expect that Li Xuanba was completely unresponsive and was so choked that he couldn’t speak. “Cough, I ordered you as the prince, Sanlang, to make a bet with my cousin. “Yang Zhao coughed dryly and said with a smile, “If you can really make better bath beans than in the palace, let your bath beans become imperial tribute. ”
Li Shimin waved his hand up and down, interrupting without giving the prince face at all, “But cousin, if Ah Xuan made a better bath bean than the palace, he would definitely offer it to Your Majesty and let our bath beans become imperial tribute. You are not sincere at all.”
Li Xuanba: “I don’t want to make a bet.”
Yang Zhao pinched his double chin: “It makes sense. Then… If Sanlang wins, I will allow Sanlang to enter and exit the palace library at any time?”
Li Xuanba: “This can be! Ah no, I won’t bet!”
Li Shimin shook his head: “Cousin, if Sanlang wants to go to the palace to study, isn’t it just writing a letter to Your Majesty? Your Majesty won’t let the younger generation enter the palace to borrow books.”
Yang Zhao was upset: “It seems to be the same. Erlang said, what do you want to bet?”
Li Xuanba: “I said I won’t bet anymore!”
Li Shimin said: “Of course it’s a horse…Oh!”
Li Xuanba grabbed his second brother’s cheek hard, pulled the old man and let go: “I said I won’t bet!”
Li Shimin rubbed the soft flesh of the bounced cheek: “A Xuan, how can you not obey the order of the prince? Yeah, my mother knows it, and I will definitely beat you.”
Li Xuanba was speechless.
Yang Zhao coughed again and echoed, “That’s right, this is the prince’s order!”
Li Shimin rubbed his face and said, “I promised that I want a horse!”
Li Sanniang smiled and said, “Sister wants a set of gemstone faces.”
