Chapter 64: Iron-Headed Calabash Brothers Reappear

Ba Zhen looked at Chen Qilin without blinking: "Sir, do you have other business to cooperate with me?"

Chen Qilin nodded: "Why? Master Ba doesn't believe me?"

"I believe, but I'm just curious about what business it is?" Ba Zhen said.

Chen Qilin stood up and took out a dark yellow thing from the cabinet.

"What is this?" Ba Zhen asked curiously.

Chen Qilin picked up the dark yellow thing and said:

"This thing is called soap, which can be used to wash clothes and remove stains."

Ba Zhen took the soap curiously and said: "Sir, is this thing really as useful as you said?"

"If you don't believe it, you can try it!" Chen Qilin said.

Ba Zhen nodded: "Let's try it!"

Chen Qilin took Ba Zhen to the backyard, took out two pieces of cloth stained with the same stain, and asked Ba Zhen to wash them himself.

One piece was washed using the traditional method of the Qin Dynasty, and the other was washed with soap.

The most feared thing in the world is comparison!

There is no harm without comparison.

The stains on the cloth that was washed with soap were easily cleaned, and a faint soap scent remained on the cloth.

However, the stains on the cloth that was washed with the traditional method were not completely cleaned even after a long time.

The decontamination effects of soap and traditional washing methods are clearly different!

Ba Zhen was shocked after the experiment!

She had a keen business sense and knew that if soap could be mass-produced, it would definitely create a soap craze in Daqin and make a lot of money.

"Sir, is this soap easy to mass-produce?" Ba Zhen stared at the gentleman.

Chen Qilin smiled and said, "The production process of soap is simple and can be mass-produced! Mr. Ba, will you cooperate with me?"

Chen Qilin was telling the truth. Soap manufacturing is not difficult.

Simple soap was invented in the West more than 4,000 years ago.

Mass production and popularization of soap in Daqin is definitely not a problem.

"Of course!" Ba Zhen said.

Only a fool would not cooperate with the gentleman!

The soap business is definitely a big money-making business, and it is a unique business in Daqin.

Bazhen continued, "Sir, we will cooperate in the same way as Erguotou. You provide technical information, and Guangsheng Pavilion will be responsible for production and sales, with a 50-50 profit split!"

Chen Qilin nodded with a smile.

This beautiful girl is very smart!

Chen Qilin spent half a heavenly point to buy a soap making document from the system mall and handed it to Bazhen.

The materials for making soap are: cooking oil, caustic soda, salt, water...

First, add water to the pot and add caustic soda at the same time. After the alkali is completely dissolved, add oil, continue heating and stirring...

After saponification, salting out, standing, shaping and other steps, pieces of soap with strong decontamination ability are made.

The document that Chen Qilin gave to Bazhen also recorded the method of making soap for bathing.

After reading it, Bazhen's delicate face was full of smiles, as if she had seen a large amount of money flowing into Guangsheng Pavilion.

Ba Zhen took the information and said hesitantly: "Sir..."

"Master Ba, is there anything else? Just say it!" Chen Qilin said.

Ba Zhen said:

"Sir, my Ba family will hold an annual gathering in half a month. At that time, all the senior executives and important business partners of the Ba family will come to participate in the grand event!

I want to invite you to the gathering. If you can go, it will make my Ba family's annual gathering shine!"

After Ba Zhen finished speaking, she looked at the gentleman nervously and expectantly.

She naturally hoped that the gentleman could go, so that she would feel honored.

In the past year, Ba Zhen has helped the family make a lot of money by cooperating with the gentleman in the Erguotou business. This family's year-end gathering will definitely be commended by the elders' meeting!

Ba Zhen wants the gentleman to come together to witness this glory!

Chen Qilin thought about it and said: "Okay, I promise you!"

He was brought to Daqin by Tiandao Tower and has never left Tiandao Tower. Now that his cultivation has reached the Jindan realm, it is just right to go out and see the gathering of the ancient big family.

As for collecting the Xiongnu treasure, it won't be too late to go after attending the Ba family's year-end party.

"Great, thank you sir!" Ba Zhen said happily.

After seeing Ba Zhen off, Chen Qilin leaned on the sofa, his eyes flickering, wondering what he was thinking.

...

Xianyang, the Imperial Palace, Qilin Hall.

Ying Zheng held a cigar in his mouth and sat majestically on the leather sofa, looking extremely domineering.

He glanced at the ministers and said, "I want to announce something!"

Feng Quji, Sun Shutong and other ministers all focused their eyes on Qin Shihuang.

What Ying Zheng said next was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky exploding in the hearts of the ministers.

"I want to build a temple to vindicate King Zhou Di Xin. Di Xin is a great lord and wise ruler throughout the ages, and the last emperor of ancient times!"

Ying Zheng's words landed in a sonorous voice.

The first shot of Ying Zheng's breaking the monopoly of the aristocracy and the rich in the officialdom and promoting the imperial examination system was to build a temple to vindicate King Zhou Di Xin.

Isn't it the essence of the imperial examination system to promote Emperor Xin's unconventional use of talents, break the class solidification, and reuse talented civilians, slaves, and even criminals?

"Please think twice, Your Majesty, King Zhou of Shang was a tyrant, cruel and inhumane, how can you build a temple for him to vindicate him?!"

"Your Majesty, everyone despises tyrants like King Zhou. If you build a temple for him, the whole Qin will be corrupted!"

"Your Majesty, King Zhou is a tyrant who loves women, favors Daji, kills loyal ministers... disrespects the heavens, blasphemes the gods, neglects sacrifices, and indulges in extravagance. If you build a temple for him, you will risk the great disapproval of the world!"

"Your Majesty, Confucius and other saints have already convicted King Zhou..."

Ying Zheng's words caused a huge uproar.

Confucian figures in the court, represented by Right Prime Minister Feng Quji and Doctor Shusun Tong, fiercely opposed it.

Ying Zheng glanced at these people and said coldly: "Humph! How dare you say that King Zhou Di Xin is a foolish tyrant?"

"Your Majesty, King Zhou is a tyrant!"

"Yes, King Zhou is a tyrant!"

Many ministers echoed.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said, "Li Si, you should teach these sour Confucians a lesson, let them open their eyes and see clearly whether Emperor Xin is a wise ruler or a tyrant!"

"Yes!"

Li Si clasped his fists, walked out of the court with his head held high and faced the ministers. He glanced at Shusun Tong, Feng Quji and other Confucian ministers or ministers who tended to Confucianism with contempt, and said:

"You said that Emperor Xin liked women and listened to women's words..."

Li Si read out to the ministers the words that Mr. Tiandaolou had given to His Majesty, the crown prince and himself.

After the words fell, the ministers fell into silence.

Because, they could not find any reason to refute Li Si's words!

You said that King Zhou was lustful, but the sage King Wen of Zhou had hundreds of sons, wasn't he even more lustful?

You said that King Zhou favored villains, that was a meritocracy...

Ying Zheng stood up and said with finality:

"Li Si has made the point very clear!

It is the Western Zhou historians who deliberately slandered Emperor Xin, saying that he was a foolish and tyrannical emperor!

Emperor Xin was a wise ruler throughout the ages, the last emperor of ancient times, no doubt about it!"

Originally, he thought that everyone would shut up now.

"Your Majesty, I dare not agree with you!"

But another iron-headed gourd boy stood up!
