Reborn as the beloved of the crippled king

Chapter 567 They truly witnessed the rise of Dayan
The rise of Dayan is unstoppable.

The surrounding small countries naturally tried to curry favor with us in various ways.

This is the fact. When a country is strong, the surrounding countries will only tremble in fear and try every means to make friends with the strong country to avoid being destroyed.

The purpose of sending the princess along with the envoy was self-evident.

Jun Yuyan only met the envoys, other princesses, and some singers and dancers. He was too lazy to meet any women.

Now, all the envoys knew the intention of the Emperor of Dayan, and they did not dare to let their own princesses get involved.

On the day of the palace banquet, the envoy finally met the Queen Mother of Dayan.

At that moment, I finally understood why the Emperor of Dayan looked down on other women.

Queen Murong was not only extremely beautiful, but more importantly, she had an excellent temperament and unrivaled charm. Her eyes alone were unmatched by anyone else.

Moreover, it has been heard that Queen Murong has made countless outstanding contributions to Great Yan. When the Emperor of Yan went to war, it was Queen Murong who governed the country. It can be said that a woman is as capable as a man.

At this time, the envoy also noticed it.

There was actually a female patrol team in the palace. They had solemn expressions, flexible bodies, and silent footsteps. It was obvious at a glance that they had outstanding martial arts skills.

This shocked the envoys.

But the next few days in the capital will be the most shocking moment for them.

As they walked along the streets, they discovered that many restaurants were actually run by women. Those women were all bold and bold in character, but they were efficient in their work, and the food they cooked was clean and delicious.

After some inquiries, I found out that Queen Murong encouraged women to do business.

Especially for women who have no support at home, as long as they have the ability to make money, they can go to the government office to register. The government will have professionals give an assessment, and those who are successful in the assessment can be exempted from three months' shop rent.

This led to a large number of women becoming female shopkeepers.

The key is that their business is actually very successful and is no worse than that of men.

"Hey, a soap shop? What's soap?"

As soon as you enter, you will smell the fragrant aroma. Palm-sized objects of various colors are neatly arranged on the table, which is a dazzling array.

The waiter immediately came up with a smile on his face.

"Sir, you are a foreigner, right? This soap can be used to wash your hands, face, bathe, wash your hair, and even wash clothes. Take a look!"

As he was speaking, the waiter skillfully brought a dirty cloth, wet it and rubbed it with soap. After a few rubs, the stains on the dirty area were gone. After rinsing it with water, it was immediately clean.

Then, the waiter put ink on his hands again, waited for it to dry, and washed it with clean water. There was still a little bit of ink left, but with the addition of soap foam, it was clean immediately.

The envoy and his men were extremely surprised.

When did Dayan have such good items? Didn’t I come here last year? I didn’t see these things last year.

Not to mention, Dayan’s books were also cheap. Upon asking around, I found out that Dayan had improved printing and papermaking techniques.

I asked again, um, I couldn't find anything.

That is a secret held by the imperial court of Dayan. It is official.

These envoys thought, if their country could also improve printing and papermaking like Dayan, would they be able to make further progress?

Unfortunately, I can only think about it and dare not learn it secretly.

However, one envoy asked the officials of Dayan without hope whether it could be sold. Unexpectedly, the officials sent back a message the next day, saying that it could be sold, but the price was very high.

When the envoy heard that there was hope, he first asked about the price. It was indeed shockingly expensive. He could only wait until he returned home to discuss it with his king.

As long as it can be sold, it's simple, it's just a matter of money.

The envoys from other countries were also unwilling to lag behind. Before returning home, they had already sent messages back to tell their monarchs what they had seen and heard in the capital of Great Yan. It was just one year.

Dayan's changes are simply unexpected.

Compared with their own country, they are so backward.

Books are expensive everywhere, but in Dayan today, anyone can afford them. Naturally, there are more and more readers, and more people who can read on the streets. Unlike in their country, the people are basically illiterate.

"The skills of papermaking and printing can be sold, so can the formula of soap be sold as well?"

The clever envoy went to ask, but got a definite answer - the formula was not for sale.

Because the soap workshops were also owned by the imperial court, all the soaps on the market were purchased from the workshops.

In fact, all these shops are owned by imperial merchants, and the shopkeepers and waiters are just workers.

The purpose is to prevent technology from flowing to outsiders.

Since the soap came out, merchants from many other countries began to buy large quantities of it back home, intending to sell it to the nobles at high prices.

When these envoys return, they will probably see nobles using soap.

Just like Dayan’s tea, porcelain, glass, silk, etc., they were all used by the nobility.

……

The reason why we sell papermaking and printing technology.

This is because when workshops are spread all over the country in the future, it will be impossible to hide the truth. Spies are always there and can penetrate everywhere. They can achieve their goals through intimidation or bribery.

If it is sold earlier now, it can also bring a large amount of income to the national treasury.

Why not sell the soap recipe?
Although making soap is not simple, it is hard for people to imagine that soap can be made by mixing animal fat and wood ash together.

In addition, the workshops are all in the hands of the imperial court, and foreign businessmen are purchasing large quantities, so there is no need to sell the formula for the time being.

Those sold to foreign merchants can be made more exquisitely and with added spices, so the price will naturally be much more expensive.

In Dayan, ordinary people can now afford soap because it is mass-produced, has high output and low cost. It may not look so exquisite, but its function is the same.

Nowadays, these foreign merchants believe that soap is difficult to manufacture, and the court gives low prices to the people in order to benefit them.

The second half of the sentence is not wrong. The advent of soap has reduced the unpleasant smells on the streets, and people are willing to take care of themselves.

In addition, Empress Murong said in her medical book that keeping the body clean can reduce the invasion of diseases, so people bathed more frequently.

Who doesn’t like to take a nice bath and wash their hair with soap?
Refreshing and non-sticky.

After taking a bath, no one wants to be with people who don’t like taking a bath.

This is certainly a good thing for people's health.

Foreign businessmen do not need cheap soap that has to travel long distances and across oceans. Ordinary people in their countries cannot afford it. Only exquisite soap can provide real value.

Before returning to their own countries, the envoys naturally brought back many things that were not available in their own countries.

When he came, his bag was full, with items for offering as sacrifices. When he left, his bag was still full, all of which were Dayan’s “specialties”.

The princesses went from being resentful at first, to being excited about shopping, and finally to being reluctant to leave.

The Great Yanjing City is simply the best place in the world!

It was only when I returned to my capital that I realized what a huge gap there was.

They truly witnessed the rise of Dayan.
