Chapter 193 Return
Without saying anything else, even if I only bring back two kilograms of salt, this trip will not be in vain.
What's more, Wang An promised to pay wages according to market price.
So, it didn't take too long to help Wang An gather enough people.
During this period, Da Lu used the soap out of curiosity and gave the moisturizing glycerin to his woman.
After trying it, they were shocked to find that the sheepskin coats that had not been washed for more than ten years were miraculously looking brand new.
The original thick layer of grease also disappeared completely.
While Dalu was marveling at the magical effect of the soap, his wife, who had applied moisturizing glycerin the night before, happily found Dalu and pointed at her face and said, "Boss, look at me today, am I any different?"
He was so shocked by the power of the soap that he had no time to care about any changes in his wife, so he just said a few perfunctorily.
Unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law got angry on the spot and started fighting with Dalu.
Dalu's wife was a taller and stronger woman than Dalu. She went crazy and pinned Dalu down and beat him. Dalu couldn't bear it and could only beg, "Oh, stop beating me! Wife, just tell me what's wrong with you!"
The wife pointed at her own face and said, "Didn't you notice that my face is much smoother than usual? It's not cracked anymore."
After a careful observation, he found that it was indeed much smoother and more slippery than usual.
Not only did the dead skin on my face disappear, but the facial cracks caused by drinking and years of wind and sun exposure also seemed to have alleviated a lot.
Da Lu was immediately amazed, and touched his wife's face, which was a little slippery because of the moisturizing glycerin, and said: "Hey, it's much smoother than usual, it turns out that Mingren didn't lie to me!"
Hearing this, the couple rolled their eyes and said, "Aren't you going to choose the big boss? Why don't we go ask that Ming man for some more and give them to the Second Lady so that he can say a few good words for you in front of His Majesty the Khan? Then, won't it be settled then?"
Da Lu was greatly inspired and said quickly: "Yes, yes, my wife is really smart!"
"Also, Second Lady loves cleanliness the most, so ask for some soap to send to her when the time comes!"
"Soap, what is that?" the woman asked.
Hearing this, Dalu proudly pointed to the soap and clothes in the washing basin not far away and said, "It's something that can wash clothes faster than the soap nuts used by the Ming people!"
"Hey, get off me, I have to go find that Mingren!"
Hearing this, the woman hurriedly got up from Dalu. Just as Dalu was about to leave her tent, she suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Oh, give me a few more bottles, too!"
…………
"Brother Wang, how are you?" As soon as he arrived at the tent allocated for Wang An to live in, Da Lu greeted him enthusiastically.
Wang An had been staying in the Chahar camp for two days. He was feeling anxious. When he saw Dalu, he went to him and asked, "Brother Dalu, how are the people you gathered for me?"
Dalu smiled and said, "Don't worry, all the people have been gathered. You can start the journey as soon as tomorrow morning comes."
Wang An felt relieved after hearing this.
The two chatted and laughed for a while, then he said shyly, "Brother Wang, do you still have the soap and moisturizing glycerin you gave me last time?"
"Yes! But not much..." Wang An saw this and immediately understood that this kid must have discovered the benefits of soap and moisturizing glycerin after going back and trying them.
Dalu was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Can you give me some more?" After saying that, he seemed to feel something was wrong and said, "I don't want it for nothing!"
Wang An rolled his eyes. Although he brought soap and glycerin with him to Mongolia this time, they were just samples. He wanted to see if there was a market for them in the north, so he really didn't bring much.
But looking at the way things are going now, it is obvious that the effects of these two things have been recognized by the Mongolian people.
In this way, after the chemical plant is officially put into production, he can use his status as an imperial merchant to open up the Mongolian and northern markets.
All this happened in the blink of an eye. He took out the suitcase without delay and handed all the items inside to Dalu, saying, "It's all here, take it, brother Dalu."
After playing with the surprise, he said nervously: "Well, how much silver do you need? I will give it to you now."
Wang An pretended to be heroic when he heard this: "We are all brothers. It would hurt our feelings if we asked for money. It's just a little thing. Just take it and use it."
At this point, Wang An added: "But if you find it useful, please help me promote it!"
"Sure, sure!" Dalu was very happy and warmly invited Wang An to have dinner in his tent in the evening. He also said that he would introduce his wife's sister to Wang An.
Wang An's mind suddenly flashed with the image of a Mongolian girl he had seen on TV in his previous life. She had a graceful figure, was good at singing and dancing, and was passionate and unrestrained. He was almost drooling.
So, I agreed on the spot.
But that night, when Wang An discovered that his sister-in-law was a cube, he found an excuse to slip away on the spot.
The cube actually took a liking to him. When it saw Wang An was about to leave, it actually offered to take Wang An back to the tent. As it spoke, it gave Wang An a wink, which made Wang An feel a chill.
The next morning, Wang An set out on his journey back to Datong Prefecture, with Dalu reluctantly seeing him off.
They returned to Datong Prefecture safely along the way. When thousands of high-quality Mongolian horses marched into Datong Prefecture, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone pointed fingers at the leader Wang An, and Wang An vaguely heard them discussing why it was possible for anyone to get war horses back from the grassland when Chongzhen had clearly ordered "all rewards to be abolished."
Wang An was riding on his horse, listening to the surprise and doubt of the people on the roadside, and he felt so vain in his heart.
Soon, Sun Zushou rushed over after hearing the news.
As soon as he saw Wang An, Sun Zushou said excitedly: "I knew that you, Brother Wang, are a reliable person. You really did a great job."
After Wang An exchanged some polite words, he was arranged to rest for a night in a hotel in the city. He then returned to the general's residence to help with the processing of the receipt.
At that time, Wang An only needs to take this receipt and find the Honglu Temple to settle the payment for the goods.
It has to be said that doing business for the imperial court in the Ming Dynasty is quite troublesome.
But the benefits are also obvious, that is, the profits are extremely high.
Wang An made a rough estimate and concluded that he could earn about 6,000 taels of silver after this trip, which was almost more than what his Wangji Coal Warehouse earned in a whole winter.
No wonder the eight imperial merchants like to do border business so much, it really is worthwhile.
