Chapter 158

These words also made them unable to figure it out. What was the Da Qian Empress thinking?

But the next second, they smelled a huge business opportunity.

The entire Da Qian market, the price of Zhao Gao will definitely rise with the tide, and this is all white silver.

Zhao Fang frowned, "Your Majesty, could there be a trick in this? This move is truly puzzling!"

Zhao Wuji waved his hand casually, "Prime Minister, you are overthinking. My intelligence shows that it was a Vice Minister named Gao Yang who suggested that the Da Qian Empress live in harmony with the Zhao Kingdom and not move soldiers lightly."

"This Gao Yang is actually a good person!"

Zhao Fang frowned, his face even uglier. "Your Majesty, I have heard of this Gao Yang over the past two days. His means of lowering grain prices and calming locust disasters are very brilliant, not a mediocre person."

"And he is known as the Living Yama in Da Qian. This matter is strange."

But before he finished speaking, the Zhao Kingdom officials couldn't sit still.

"Prime Minister Zhao is too cautious. The Da Qian Empress has just ascended the throne, and our Zhao Kingdom is strong. How dare she move soldiers lightly?"

"Official Huang is right. The Da Qian Empress must be currying favor with our Zhao Kingdom."

"I agree. Since the Da Qian Empress bowed her head first, we must also maintain the bearing of a great nation. We should quickly send envoys to send heavy gifts to maintain the relationship between the two countries, so as not to be talked about!"

"Zhao Gao is skyrocketing, and our Zhao Kingdom commoners can all make a huge profit. I support it."

Zhao Fang didn't say a word.

Although he felt there was a problem, he couldn't stop it.

Behind these court officials are huge noble families. Apparently, they want the relationship between the two countries to be stable so they can take the opportunity to make a huge profit!

If he spoke out, he would offend the public!

Zhao Wuji thought for a moment and nodded. "My ministers' words are reasonable. From today on, send envoys to Da Qian with heavy gifts!"

"Also, send the beauties I captured not long ago to Da Qian together, and be sure to hand them over to Gao Yang to thank him for his suggestion."

"In this day and age, there are not many good people like this who let our Great Zhao get rich without any benefit."

Zhao Wuji sighed.

The group of ministers knelt down and called the Emperor wise.

Their eyes flickered.

It is foreseeable that as soon as the banquet is over, they will frantically acquire Zhao Gao.

Whoever doesn't make this fortune is a fool!

"..."

Da Qian.

Changancheng.

The weather was sultry, and the entire Changancheng was like a huge steamer.

Gao Yang threw the ice cubes taken from the cellar into the cup and drank them down with a gulp.

Although the Duke of Dingguo's mansion was still cool, it was also sultry, and only in the second half of the night was it comfortable.

After sweating all over, without soap, even taking a bath always felt sticky.

This made Gao Yang extremely uncomfortable.

"Can't take it anymore!"

"Lv Luo, follow me to the kitchen!"

"Today, I must make this soap!"

Gao Yang roared and then killed his way to the kitchen of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

One is to take a bath, and the other is to make a fortune, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to Wu Zhao.

Just as he entered the kitchen, he saw a little fat man with a simple and honest face and a round face.

He looked stunned, apparently not having figured out the situation yet.

"Take all the lard in the kitchen to me."

Hearing Gao Yang's instructions, Wang Tao thought he was checking if they had stolen lard, and hurriedly took out all the lard in the kitchen.

"Not bad, very sensible."

Gao Yang praised, and then ordered Chen Sheng to move it all away in one go.

Until he looked at the empty jar, Wang Tao was shocked.

"My lard!!!"

He wailed.

For him, food is better than everything, and lard is indispensable.

Soon.

In a courtyard of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, Gao Yang set up two large pots, with Chen Sheng and Lv Luo standing behind him.

"Lv Luo, take some quicklime for me." Gao Yang shouted.

Lv Luo hurriedly went to the side to move the quicklime.

"Eldest Young Master, I've brought it."

"Pour it into the pot."

"What? Pour it in?"

Hearing this, Lv Luo was completely confused.

Her face was full of astonishment. Quicklime is used for moisture-proofing; can this be poured into the pot?

She looked hesitant.

"Do as I say. After pouring it in, add water and stir immediately, then stay away."

Gao Yang reminded her and retreated dozens of steps.

Quicklime added to water will release a lot of heat. If it splashes on the body, it will be very sour and refreshing.

Lv Luo didn't know Gao Yang's thoughts.

She felt that the young master was really good and cared about her very much.

Theoretically, whether it is lard or vegetable oil, it can be used to make soap. Essentially, it is a saponification reaction.

After quicklime is added to water and stirred, it releases a lot of heat to get lime water. Adding caustic soda to lime water will get lye.

Adding lye to lard will produce a saponification reaction.

Caustic soda is hard to get, but it can be replaced by wood ash in the stove.

Gao Yang read a lot of time-travel novels in his previous life, especially those about history written by Xingxingzi.

He was very familiar with the process of making soap.

After adding wood ash and stirring, Gao Yang began to boil the lard.

Lye is not that fast, it takes a certain amount of time.

Watching Gao Yang add spoonfuls of lard into the pot, Lv Luo felt distressed.

In Da Qian, lard is a good thing. Ordinary families are reluctant to put too much in when cooking.

But Gao Yang put it in spoonful by spoonful, which made Lv Luo very distressed.

"Eldest Young Master, what kind of food are you making?" Lv Luo couldn't help but ask.

After all, she came from a poor family, and in her eyes, this is a waste of heaven's things.

Chen Sheng was also puzzled.

"Don't be distressed, I am making soap. Once the soap is out, the profit will be immeasurable." Gao Yang explained lightly.

"Soap?"

Lv Luo looked curious.

Gao Yang scanned Lv Luo's slender body and teased, "After bathing with this soap, not only can the body be washed white and tender, but the body will also emit a good smell."

Sensing Gao Yang's gaze, Lv Luo felt as if she was being stared at by a big gray wolf.

"Young Master, your eyes, the servant girl is a bit scared..."

Seeing this, Gao Yang laughed.

"Although I only eat the grass around the nest, you haven't grown up yet, so you can rest assured. Just be your number 98 technician. As long as you don't take the initiative to seduce me and upgrade to irregular service, nothing will happen."

Hearing this, Lv Luo felt very disappointed.

Gao Yang continued to work.

After a while, he poured the lye boiled out into the lard, and then stirred it evenly with a stick.

After the pot was boiled, he turned to low heat to boil, and the whole process was completed.

Next, wait for the grease in the pot to be completely saponified, and the first piece of soap in Da Qian will be born.
