The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

What is the concept of 1000 taels of silver?

Take the price of rice as an example. The current price of rice in Manila is one tael of silver for 250 kilograms of rice, and in future generations it will be about 3 yuan per kilogram. In this way, one tael of silver is equal to 750 yuan in future generations, and 1000 taels of silver is 750000 yuan.

A bottle of perfume costs 75!Even the most prestigious brands in later generations would not dare to play this way.

Of course, due to different prices, this price comparison is definitely not accurate, but it is enough to show how exaggerated the price of 1000 taels of silver is.

"Sister Xue Wen, isn't 1000 silver too expensive?" Lian Yi said weakly.

Zhu Heyi also stared at Xue Wen curiously. After all, 1000 taels of silver was a bit expensive even in his opinion.

In fact, his psychological price for this perfume was 100 taels, and Xue Wen's price directly doubled his psychological price by 10 times. He really wanted to hear Xue Wen's thoughts.

Seeing everyone's eyes staring at him, Xue Wen's eyes were a little dazed.

She was once a merchant family, and her ancestors stayed in Luzon when Zheng He went to the West and have continued to do so until the last Manila riots.

During that riot, the indigenous thugs killed all her relatives. Just when she was about to suffer the murderous hands of the indigenous people, the Ming army appeared.

She was not sure whether she was in front of Zhu Heqi now to repay her kindness or something else.

But when she first heard the notice saying that she was looking for a palace maid, she filled in her name by accident.

After coming back to his senses, Xue Dong collected his thoughts and said softly:

"His Majesty said that those European nobles always have an indescribable smell on their bodies, so they need to use fragrant powder to cover up the smell.

"His Majesty also said that the European nobles attach great importance to blood, and the comparison mentality of the nobles is even closer to madness. For the sake of that illusory face, they don't care at all how expensive it is, and even the more expensive the better. At least. That’s clearly the case.”

"So no matter whether the price is 100 taels or 1000 taels, they will pay for it, and we can definitely divide this perfume into several grades and sell it to nobles with different titles."

"Of course, these also have a prerequisite, that is, they can recognize our perfume, but in my opinion, this is not a problem. Although I cannot represent all women, from my own point of view, women who can resist the temptation of perfume are not many."

Xuewen talked a lot eloquently. As a businessman from a family, her childhood exposure made her know much more about business than the other three girls.

After listening to Xue Wen's words, Zhu Heyi thought for a moment, maybe this is really feasible.

Although the Hungarians created the first batch of perfumes as early as the 14th century, until now, these European perfumes still have problems such as short-lasting fragrance, single fragrance, and can only be used by smearing. Therefore, perfume powders are still popular in Europe. Still more popular.

But his perfume is different. Not only does it last long, but it also has more than 60 types of scents! More importantly, the spray nozzle can make the atomized perfume easily spread all over the body. These are European perfume powders. None of them can do it.

Of course, there is also the most eye-catching gilded quicksand!

Although in the field of perfume in the previous life, gilded quicksand was synonymous with cheapness, there is no gilded quicksand in any big-name perfume.

But here, this is the magic weapon that can establish the name of Ming Dynasty Royal Perfume.

He didn't believe that any woman could resist the starry sky inside that small glass bottle!

Oh, I almost forgot!

For those European aristocratic men, no matter whether they are men or women, they cannot go out without wearing some perfume and powder.

Monopolies have pricing power. Although Europe can make some cheap perfumes, they cannot make spray nozzles, nor can they fix the gilded quicksand in the bottle.

In this case, selling to those noble gentlemen, 1000 taels of silver per bottle is not enough. Besides, even if you can't afford the most expensive one, you can still buy something of a lower grade.

Because of Xue Wen's suggestion, he is still known as the leader in the perfume industry many years later, and the Ming Dynasty Royal Perfume of Dragon Danxiang from the East was born.

……

Santa Ana City on Luzon Island is the northernmost Spanish city in the Philippines and the last Spanish city north of Manila on Luzon Island. Further north is the vast sea. .

However, it may be an exaggeration to say a city. To be precise, a small castle may be more suitable for it.

At this time, a Spanish soldier on the city wall was hiding behind the female wall. He tremblingly stuck his head out to look at the situation outside the city, and then immediately retracted his head.

"Sir, the natives are all dead!"

"All dead?"

Major Adelaide looked in disbelief. In just 10 minutes, thousands of indigenous people were killed by the Ming army?

"Yes, sir! All the natives who were attacking us just now have been killed!" the soldier confirmed.

It would indeed be a good thing if all the rebellious natives were killed in peacetime, but now?

The indigenous thugs are the enemy, and the Ming army is also the enemy!

And from the ease with which they killed this group of thousands of natives, we can see how terrifying their fighting power was, and now they will face this group of enemies who are even more terrifying than the natives.

"Spaniards! Open the city gates immediately and surrender!" At this time, the Ming army's persuasion to surrender came from outside the city.

"Sir, they asked us to surrender."

"I'm not deaf!" Major Adelaide glared at the soldier who reminded him.

Naturally, he could understand the Ming army's propaganda in Spanish, but he didn't even fight, so he persuaded them to surrender?If he really surrendered directly, then he might not be able to survive in the army.

Adelaide reluctantly leaned out to check the situation of the Ming army outside the city.

Not far outside the city, they saw the corpses of the natives scattered all over the place. A Ming army soldier was standing among the corpses and shouting to them.Further away, about 800 meters away from the city wall, hundreds of Ming soldiers were standing in a neat line. In front of the line, there were several cannons, with their muzzles pointed directly at the city wall.

"Fortunately, there aren't many people."

After seeing the size of the Ming army clearly, Major Adelaide breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they have fewer soldiers stationed in Santa Ana City, only more than 200 people, with the advantage of the city wall, they may be able to fight the Ming army. Even if they want to surrender, they must fight a battle before surrendering.

Of course, the reason why he made this decision was not for some illusory sense of military honor.He just wanted to avoid the reckoning he might face in the future.

His popularity in the military is not good, and there are a lot of people who want to punish him, otherwise he would not be sent to this ungrateful place.

If he really surrenders without a fight this time, there will definitely be many people who would like to see him go to a military court.

But soon, Major Adelaide regretted his decision.
