Pick up a female emperor as a wife

"You'll know then!"

Qin Chuan chose to keep it a secret.

Qingyue rolled her eyes and said, "I can guess even without you telling me. Are you thinking of selling lipsticks over there?"

"Even though lipstick can make money, I, Brother Chuan, have many other ways to make money, not just this one." Qin Chuan said proudly.

Whether it is oyster sauce or lipstick, Qin Chuan realized that he could use modern knowledge to make money.

However, making money still needs to be adapted to local conditions and cannot be generalized.

Qin Chuan said he was keeping the secret, but in fact he didn't know much about Qingyang City. He needed to understand it thoroughly before he could work out a specific way to make money.

Although he could make money in the imperial capital, Nangong Wan's military expenses were imminent, so of course he had to go to the richest place to earn 500,000 as quickly as possible to help her solve her urgent needs.

Only in this way can the political situation be stabilized and Nangong Wan can continue the Qin family's bloodline.

In order to better understand the situation in Qingyang City, Qin Chuan asked Qingyue to tell him in detail.

However, Qingyue had never been to Qingyang City. She only knew that the Lu family had ambitions to become the king. In order to attract talents, they had promulgated a series of policies. Currently, all major forces and chambers of commerce in Qian Country have set up branches there.

Since the emperor is far away, the control is not that strict, and Qingyang City should be more lively than the imperial capital.

She didn't know much about the rest.

Hearing this, Qin Chuan wanted to know the situation in Qingyang City, but he still needed to investigate it personally. So he decided to focus on how to absorb the blood of the rich people in the imperial capital, and use them to verify what can make money, so that when he arrives in Qingyang City in the future, he will have ready-made things to harvest.

Qin Chuan thought about it carefully and decided to start with the woman.

At present, he can still use Ningyan’s fame to reap a wave of lipstick profits. Later, when he can no longer reap the profits, he can produce lipstick in large quantities and sell it to prostitutes in brothels, daughters of high-ranking officials, concubines, etc.

Although it is impossible for a lipstick to be sold for thousands of taels of silver again, the fact that a lipstick is sold for thousands of taels of silver has long been spread, and the concept that it is expensive and useful has been implanted in the minds of many dignitaries.

It can be sold at a good price in the future and can become a long-term business.

However, the money-making ability of a single commodity is ultimately limited, and Qin Chuan needs to find a way to get another thing that can reap their wealth.

His first idea was to make soap.

If this thing appeared, it would surely shock the imperial capital.

But making this thing requires lard and other things. The current price of these raw materials is quite high and the cost is far higher than that of lipstick, so the profit is not that much. Now there are too few people around him and his energy is limited. He needs to pursue things that bring more profits. It will not be too late to make soap and sell it in the future when he has plenty of time and many subordinates.

Or use saltpeter to make ice and resell ice cubes?

That doesn’t work either!

He also had to prepare explosives for the Guards to increase their strength.

Nangong Wan was afraid that the enemy's undercover agent next to her would obtain the method of making explosives, so she did not dare to let her people learn how to make explosives from Qin Chuan. Therefore, the raw materials for making explosives and other items still needed to be made by Qin Chuan and people he trusted.

The production volume was really limited, and there was no idle saltpeter to make ice.

So what can be harvested?

Qin Chuan sat in the carriage and thought all the way until he arrived in front of the city gate. He suddenly looked at Qingyue and asked, "What do you use to wash your face when you wake up in the morning?"

This scared Qingyue: "Brother Chuan, can you not be so jumpy when asking questions?"

Qin Chuan touched his head, acted like a gentleman, and repeated the question he had just asked.

Qingyue then replied, "I am a military commander and there are no requirements for washing my face. I just use clean water to absorb it. However, your majesty and the ladies of the nobles all use flower petals to wash."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan finally showed his joy: "Haha, this young master has another way to harvest their money!"

"What method?" Qingyue asked expectantly.

"Facial cleanser!" Qin Chuan uttered three words lightly.

Qingyue's face was full of question marks. She had no idea what facial cleanser was. She couldn't help but ask, "Is it edible?"

"Of course it's not for eating, but it will make your skin refreshed, moist, smooth and tender after washing your face, and will make your skin as exquisite as jade." Qin Chuan replied.

Qingyue's eyes were filled with wonder: "Brother Chuan, it's so magical? Do you have it now? Can you give it to me?"

"Haha, aren't you a military general who has no requirements for washing your face? It seems that women are women after all, and they are born to love beauty." Qin Chuan laughed.

"Huh, don't you want to make money? I'm just helping you to check things." Qingyue was unwilling to admit it.

Qingyue's reaction made Qin Chuan feel more confident. Even a military general like her had a pursuit for skin, not to mention the daughters of dignitaries and those girls in brothels.

He laughed again: "Okay, when I prepare it, I'll give it to you first!"

"That's what you said. If I'm not the first one, you'll be in trouble!" Qingyue snorted.

Seeing that the city gate was closed, she took out her shadow guard's token, and the city gate opened again, allowing them to return to the imperial capital.

After returning to the mansion, Qin Chuan moved all the remaining explosives to the backyard.

He had been staying in the cave for the past few days and was stinking all over, so he immediately ordered Ouyang Ronger to boil water for him and Niu Dali to take a bath.

Ouyang Ronger's life these days is even more miserable than when she was with Qin Chuan. She originally thought that she could escape after going down the mountain. With her ability, it would not be a problem to subdue a mere Tian Tianci. However, as soon as Tian Tianci arrived at the mansion, he locked her in the room and asked the servants to keep a close watch on her.

If Qin Chuan hadn't come back, she would still be locked in the room.

Originally she hated Qin Chuan, but now that Qin Chuan came, she was able to regain her freedom. She felt Qin Chuan was kind to her and obediently boiled bath water for Qin Chuan and Niu Dali.

Seeing that the eldest lady from the Ouyang family was trained so well, Qingyue felt happy. At the same time, she felt that although Qin Chuan looked a bit wretched, he was indeed good at training women!

After taking a refreshing bath, Qin Chuan began to think about how to prepare facial cleanser.

It would be impossible to make modern facial cleansers with the materials available in ancient times.

Fortunately, when he was in college and was pursuing a goddess as a bootlicker, he not only made pure natural lipsticks, but also specially learned to make a facial cleanser called Babaixiang. This product was used by the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty to cleanse their faces, and its efficacy was no less than the facial cleansers sold on the market.

All the raw materials are natural and easy to find.

Although it also costs money, in this chaotic world it is much cheaper than lard and other materials used to make soap.

Qin Chuan immediately made a list and asked Tian Tianci to buy it tomorrow, the more the better.

After giving the order, it was already nightfall. Qin Chuan lay comfortably on the recliner in the yard, letting Ouyang Ronger massage his legs comfortably.

The more Qin Chuan looked at Ouyang Ronger's angry face, the happier he became.

Just as he was enjoying it, a dark shadow fell from the sky.

Before Qin Chuan could react, the black shadow hit Ouyang Ronger on the back, and she fell to the ground instantly.

Just when Qin Chuan was about to take out the gun in his arms, the black shadow disappeared.

What does this mean? Did this person come all this way just to knock Ouyang Ronger unconscious?

But just when Qin Chuan thought of this, the figure he longed for appeared in front of the courtyard gate.

It’s Nangong Wan!

Qin Chuan was surprised and happy. Didn't Qingyue say that it would take Nangong Wan three days to deal with the matter? Why did she come tonight?

Once she comes, doesn't that mean he can say goodbye to his virginity tonight?

Qin Chuan's heart suddenly became hot.
