Chapter 212 What Can They Fight With Me?
These scraps may not be of much use to the herdsmen on the grassland, but for Wang An they just solve the most important raw material problem.

As for transportation, it is also very convenient. Just boil it into oil on the spot, or directly ask local herdsmen to boil it into oil in exchange for yourself, and then store it in clay jars, it can become a cheap and easy-to-use raw material for chemical plants.

Therefore, the convoy that Wang An brought with him on this trip was much larger than the previous one. It was not only to transport the military funds needed by Man Gui, but also the rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea as rewards to Lin Danhan, and of course the most important things were soap, perfumed soap and moisturizing glycerin.

In addition, half of the space in the caravan must be reserved for transporting ironware, salt, tea, cloth and other items, which are to be exchanged for oil and fat with the small nomadic tribes on the grassland.

Therefore, the huge convoy left the capital under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Thanks to the popularity of soap during that time, Wangji's small flags with the sun and moon "trademarks" were stuck on the hoods of the cars, and no one walking on the street didn't know whose fleet it was.

Wang An also seized this opportunity and had several pairs of banners made and hung in the convoy.

Such as "Royal tribute, Wang's soap", "Famous at home and abroad, sold far away to the border", etc., and Zhao Dekui was also asked to bring a few smart-talking guys to walk around in front and behind the convoy.

When curious people asked questions, they would pretend to be casual and stop to explain what the convoy was doing.

When the people in the capital heard this, they found out that this Wangji Soap was not only named by the current emperor, but had also reached the ears of the famous Khan of the Chahar tribe, Ligdan Khan, at some point.

Among the people from outside the Great Wall, the ones that the Ming people knew best were only those two or three.

One is Nurhaci, the shoe-carrying boy of Ningyuan Earl Li Chengliang and the leader of the Jiannu who ate raw meat and drank blood;

Another one is the Chahar tribe chieftain, Ligdan Khan, who has been very active since the end of the Wanli period.

Even though they were on the grassland, Lin Danhan was beaten up and down by Nurhaci.

But Nurhaci did not become famous as early as Lindan Khan, and Lindan Khan also had the title of a member of the Golden Family. In terms of influence alone, in the early years of Chongzhen, the ratio between Nurhaci and Lindan Khan was only fifty-fifty.

Anyway, in the eyes of the people in the heartland of the Ming Dynasty, these two guys are very powerful barbarians.

The products of Wangji Chemical Factory were actually favored by Lin Danhan, who even traveled thousands of miles to ask for them by name. Doesn't this indirectly prove the benefits of soap and moisturizing glycerin?

If it was not good, why would a legitimate Mongolian Khan ask for it specifically?
At this point, no matter whether they were people who claimed to be sober or those who were short of money, they could not help but run to Wangji Chemical Flagship Store to queue up, wanting to see what benefits these so-called soaps and moisturizing glycerin had that could actually make the current emperor and the Mongolian Khan so excited.

Viewed from another perspective, if you buy and use things that have been used by the emperor and the Mongolian Khan, wouldn't you be almost the same as the Son of Heaven?
The more you think about it, the more excited you get, and the more excited you get, the more generous you will be.

Wang An, who had already left the city at this time, never imagined that the flagship store, which had just been open for less than two hours, was sold out and he had to close early.

"Mr. Zhao, we have already gone through all the checkpoints along the way, but we were harassed a lot last time. This time, you are in the convoy, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of everything inside and outside."

Wang An was riding on a horse and said to Zhao Dekui beside him.

Zhao Dekui assured Wang An without hesitation that although he had not walked this trade route outside the Great Wall for a long time, he knew the rules along the way and told him not to worry.

Last time, although Wang An had a travel permit from the Honglu Temple in his hand, he still encountered many difficulties at the banknote checkpoints along the way.

It cost a lot of money to avoid disaster.

It's not that Wang An was stingy and wanted Zhao Dekui to find connections to get through safely. It's just that he always felt that because he was not familiar with the "market conditions" last time, some places gave more money and some places gave less money.

It doesn't matter if you spend more money, but if you are still made difficult by the places where you spent less money, isn't it a waste of money?
Now that there is Zhao Dekui, who is familiar with the market, in the caravan, we can avoid the situation where spending money would offend more people than not spending any money.

Moreover, when facing the officials of this era, Wang An was too lazy to look at their faces.

They are obviously corrupt officials who are ruthless and ruthless, but they still have to put on a smiling face and flatter.

This made Wang An, who was mostly a otaku in his previous life, feel uncomfortable.

Facts have proved that Wang An's recruitment of Zhao Dekui was an extremely correct move.

This old shopkeeper who had traveled all over the world, although as taciturn as Wang An, had strong business skills. He made clear arrangements for the banknote-collecting officials along the way, thus saving Wang An a lot of trouble.

The amount of money spent was even less than half of what Wang An spent the last time he walked this route.

After wandering around like this, we entered Datong Prefecture.

As usual, Sun Zushou came forward to contact Wang An. While receiving and counting the goods, he introduced to Wang An the situation in Datong Prefecture during this period.

Ever since Lin Danhan made a request to the court for tribute trade and Chongzhen granted its approval.

Border trade merchants from Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places gathered in Datong Prefecture like wolves smelling blood.

The clerk of Datong Prefecture was invited, and the guerrillas of Datong Prefecture were invited tomorrow. Without exception, they all wanted to meet Man Gui through various relationships and take over the tribute trade with Ligdan Khan.

However, the people in the Datong General's Mansion already knew about the sworn brotherhood between Man Gui and Wang An, and they all rejected it one by one.

However, these border trade merchants were unwilling to give up, and even thought of finding Ligdan Khan in person and winning the hearts of the Western Tartars with their own high-quality and low-priced products.

As the general of Datong, Man Gui had the right to decide who would supply goods for the trade, but if these methods were not sharp and the border trade merchants really won the favor of Lin Danhan and asked Man Gui to change a supplier, it would be difficult for Man Gui to refuse.

Wang An could see that Sun Zushou was really worried about him, and he was immediately moved.

However, Wang An was not worried at all. He pointed to the banner on the car and said, "Brother Sun also knows that I recently opened a chemical factory specializing in the production of soap, perfumed soap and moisturizing glycerin."

"Lindan Khan even proposed to Brother Man that this tribute trade must include these commodities."

"Those border traders may be ruthless, but soap and other things are only in my hands."

"What can they use to fight me?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Zushou suddenly understood.
