Chapter 292 Merchants from other counties came to Xianyang.
Qi Pan turned to Eleven and ordered, "Go get a basin of clean water."
"promise."
Eleven walked out.
After a while, he brought back a basin of clean water and placed it on the table in front of Fusu.
There was a little ink on Fusu's sleeve.
He spread the soap evenly on the ink-stained robe.
Then rubbed it vigorously.
Qi Pan said, "Rub it a few more times."
"okay."
Fusu responded while rubbing his sleeves vigorously.
After a while, some white bubbles appeared on the sleeves.
The small white bubbles slowly turned into gray.
Then Fusu scooped some water with his hands and sprinkled it on his sleeves.
Then continue rubbing.
When Fusu saw the ink stain on his sleeve slowly dissolving, he put the sleeve in water and rubbed it.
Not a moment.
The crystal clear water became a little turbid.
The ink stains on the sleeves had long since disappeared.
Only some water marks are left.
Fusu was surprised and said, "Master, this soap is really good!"
"It can be cleaned so cleanly? It's incredible."
Qi Pan took out a small box from the box and threw it to Fusu.
"Here, there's some soap."
Ok?
Soap? ?
Fusu caught the box thrown by Qi Pan, twisted his sleeves, and opened the box.
A fresh fragrance hits my face.
Fusu was stunned. "State... State Master, this is called soap?"
"Yes."
Qi Pan said, "It uses similar ingredients and methods to soap, but this one is used to wash the body."
"After washing, the body is left with a fragrance, and it can also be used to wash hands."
Fusu couldn't wait any longer and took the soap and rubbed it on his hands.
really.
As soon as the soap touched the water, the fragrance became stronger.
Fusu immediately said, "Master, this soap smells good, please give me one."
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you."
Qi Pan said, "There's another big box here, would you like to pick two more?"
"no need."
Fusu said, "Just this one piece will do."
"Just give me the soap I used just now as well."
Qi Pan: "Okay, I'll give it all to you."
After getting the answer he hoped for, Fusu happily put the scented soap and soap back into the box.
He also looked at Ying Yinman and asked.
"Little sister, don't you want to pick a few pieces?"
Ying Yinman said, "Why wait for you to tell me? I have already chosen it."
what?
Fusu: "I thought I was the first one to come to the Imperial Master and ask him for soap and perfume."
"So you picked it earlier than me?!"
"if not?"
Ying Yinman said, "Do you think I came here just to sit there and do nothing?"
...........
outside the palace.
Merchants came from other counties and donated silver, food and clothing.
As soon as he arrived in Xianyang and found a place to live, he went to visit Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu and Ding Ning first.
After all, they are imperial merchants appointed by His Majesty himself, so when they arrive in Xianyang, they should be paid their respects first.
It is also equivalent to paying a visit to the pier.
In the restaurant, in the side room.
After exchanging greetings with several merchants, Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu, Ding Ning and others sat down.
One of the merchants, Qin Lou, said.
“I wonder what else Jiang Huangshang prepared when he entered the palace besides the donated money, food, and clothing?”
"What is your Majesty's temperament?"
"If we go to the palace gate to ask for an audience, will His Majesty summon us?"
Although the other merchants did not say anything, they were also curious and stared at Jiang Xiang and the other two.
They came to Xianyang this time because they heard that they could donate money and grain to Your Majesty to build the Great Wall and erect a monument with their names engraved on it.
Maybe there will be another chance, just like Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu and Ding Ning in front of me.
He was named Imperial Merchant by His Majesty.
If they could also get the title of imperial merchant and return with a plaque personally bestowed by His Majesty.
After that, they will be able to hold their heads up high and work with integrity in their own counties.
Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu and Ding Ning looked at each other, and then Jiang Xiang spoke.
"You are probably familiar with His Majesty's temperament, so I won't go into details."
"But in addition to the donated money, food and clothing, we also prepared a list of donations in advance."
"When His Majesty summoned me to the palace, I presented the list to His Majesty."
"Otherwise, there's nothing much."
Donation list? ?
Qin Lou thought that all of them set out from various counties.
Then they met on the way, and found out that they were both coming to Xianyang, so they traveled together.
They really haven't thought about the list yet.
Qin Lou looked at the other merchants and said, "How about... we also draw up a donation list?"
this.........
The other merchants looked at each other in bewilderment.
If a list has been drawn up, who will present it to Your Majesty when you enter the palace?
This is a good opportunity to show your face.
Whoever presents the list will be able to show his face before His Majesty.
They all donated silver, money and grain. Who wouldn't want to show up in front of His Majesty?
Qin Lou also understood what these people were thinking. After all, he thought the same way.
So he suggested, "How about this."
"After we draw up the list, the person who donated the most silver, food, and clothing will present the list to His Majesty."
"What do you think?"
Ok?
After drawing up the list.
The list will be presented to Your Majesty by those who donated the most money, food and clothing?
this........
Not bad.
After thinking about it secretly, several merchants nodded.
"OK, alright."
"no problem."
"The person who donated the most will present the list to His Majesty."
They all felt that the amount of money and grain they donated was the largest.
I will definitely be the one to present the list to Your Majesty.
If His Majesty is pleased by then, he might directly confer the title of Imperial Merchant on him.
When they thought about this, they couldn't help but get excited.
After chatting with Jiang Xiang and others for a while, he quickly said goodbye.
They returned to the inn where they were staying without stopping, and each of them counted the money, food, and clothing they had donated.
Make a list.
Then get together again.
When each donation list was taken out and compared.
Several merchants discovered that the amount of money, food and clothing they donated was not as much as Qinlou's.
The amount donated by Qin Lou alone was much higher than the merchant who donated the most among them.
In the end, Qin Lou presented the donation list to Ying Zheng.
Although this method of selecting candidates was proposed by Qin Lou, it was also agreed upon by several other merchants.
The amount of donation was not as much as his, so the opportunity to be included in the list was missed.
The opportunity to show their faces in front of His Majesty was gone, and they had nothing to say.
It’s okay.
Anyway, I can enter the palace.
Even if I can't show my face in front of His Majesty alone, I'm lucky to show my face with others.
Don't ask for too much.
After determining the people who would submit the list, Qin Lou and other merchants began to copy and compile the list.
