The waste prince is so fierce

Now, Li Quan had just escaped from the capital and came to Liangzhou. His first priority was to protect himself and ensure the safety of his family.

As for the people of Liangzhou and all the people in the world, I have no time to take care of them for the time being.

When Liu Ruohai heard my answer that I attached great importance to my own safety, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He tried to remind Li Quan: "Your Highness, do you know that Liangzhou is now invaded by barbarians outside, bandits are rampant inside, and officials are oppressing the people and levying heavy taxes?"

He seemed to want to make a final effort to get Li Quan to do something for the people of Liangzhou.

However, Li Quan did not pay much attention to his words.

Li Quan responded calmly: "What Elder Liu said will be handled by the county governor, Lord Zhao. I am just an idle prince."

Li Quan's answer seemed to completely disappoint Liu Ruohai, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes went out.

He sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I thought Your Highness was a talented person who cared about the people, but I didn't expect that he was no different from those bureaucrats in the court." His words frightened the old butler beside him, and he quickly pleaded for me.

Li Quan expressed his understanding lightly: "Old Liu is highly respected and has worked hard for the people of Liangzhou. This is a blessing for the people of Liangzhou. Since Old Liu is already drunk, I will not stay any longer."

Li Quan also reminded me of the Liangzhou Beauty Wine that he had promised to give me.

After saying that, Li Quan left Liu Mansion.

Looking at Li Quan's departing back, the old butler felt uneasy.

He said to Liu Ruohai worriedly: "Master, that's His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. What you just said..." However, Liu Ruohai interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said lightly: "Forget it, I was just being sentimental."

He ordered that the wine be delivered to Li Quan's house tomorrow.

At some point, a drizzle began to fall from the originally clear night sky.

Liu Ruohai pushed away the old butler who came to hold an umbrella for him and walked alone in the rain. His back looked particularly desolate and lonely.

On the way back to Prince Qi's Mansion, Li Quan frowned, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Li Quan didn't expect that Liu Ruohai came to me to ask me to make a decision for the people of Liangzhou.

Although I did not agree to his request, his words were deeply imprinted in my heart...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the delivery date agreed with He’s Shop has quietly arrived.

In the quiet mansion on Zhuque Street, Li Quan was sitting in his study, immersed in books.

"Your Highness, good news has arrived. The five thousand bars of soap have been produced and have been properly packed. They will be sent to He's shop as soon as you give the order."

Xiao Laosan's voice broke the silence of the study, and there was a hint of relief in his tone.

Hearing this, Li Quan raised his head slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "I have seen and remembered the hard work of Uncle Xiao and Miss Tingting these days."

He knew very well that the efforts of Xiao Laosan and Xiao Tingting were indispensable in completing this task in such a short time.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lao San waved his hands quickly, with a humble smile on his face: "Your Highness, you are too kind. If you hadn't rescued me that day, my daughter and I would have been dead.

Not only did you save our lives, you also gave us such a generous reward. I will never forget this kindness."

Although he was illiterate, he knew the principle of repaying kindness, and he always remained humble and grateful in front of Li Quan.

Seeing Xiao Lao San about to kneel again, Li Quan hurried forward to hold him back and shook his head helplessly: "Uncle Xiao, you really don't have to do this. The most important thing for people in this world is to respect each other, not just kneel down blindly."

He changed the subject and looked at Xiao Tingting who was standing beside him: "Next, the task of delivering the goods to He's store will be left to Tingting."

Xiao Tingting was excited and a little nervous when she heard this: "Me? Can I really do this?"

Li Quan smiled and nodded: "Of course. I will send someone to go with you, you don't have to worry."

He knew very well that this batch of soaps was large in quantity, with a total of seven large wooden boxes, and Xiao Tingting could not bear it alone.

He then instructed, “When you get to He’s store, you just need to get the balance back.

No matter what the shopkeeper says, you don't need to respond. If he wants to continue to order soap, no matter how much, let him pay half of the deposit first. Other than that, you don't need to care about anything else. "

After hearing this, Xiao Tingting seemed to understand Li Quan's intention, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know how to deal with it."

Li Quan nodded with satisfaction.

The time they had spent together over the past few days had given him a deeper understanding of Xiao Tingting.

Although she came from a poor family, she was smart and steady.

Li Quan already had a plan in mind. When his business empire gradually expanded, he could safely hand over the soap business to Xiao Tingting.

Now is the perfect time to train her.

"Your Highness, this banknote has a total of 14,000 taels, all in this box."

As soon as Xiao Tingting saw Li Quan, she hurriedly took out the wooden box from her arms and presented it with both hands.

Li Quan gently opened the wooden box and saw neatly stacked silver bills inside, each with a face value of one thousand taels.

He took a quick glance and had an idea in mind.

"It seems that Manager Liao is quite satisfied with our soap and has placed another order for 20,000 taels?" Li Quan asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tingting's eyes flashed with excitement, and she nodded in response: "That's right, Your Highness. Ten thousand taels are the deposit, and the remaining four thousand taels are the balance from last time." As she spoke, she pushed the wooden box towards Li Quan.

Li Quan thought for a moment, then took out 10,000 taels of silver from the box, and left the rest in the box.

"I will accept the ten thousand taels. Of the remaining four thousand taels, three thousand will be used for the daily expenses and wages of the soap shop, and the remaining one thousand taels will be considered as hard work fees for you and Mr. Xiao."

When Xiao Tingting heard this, she panicked and waved her hands repeatedly: "This is unacceptable, Your Highness! How dare my uncle and I accept such a generous gift!"

Li Quan smiled calmly and said, "This is just a small amount for you. You will earn more in the future. You and Uncle Xiao have made great contributions in helping me manage the soap shop. This is what you deserve."

After saying that, he gently stuffed the banknote into Xiao Tingting's hand.

Then, Li Quan asked again: "Besides placing orders, did Shopkeeper Liao have any other words?"

Xiao Tingting thought for a moment and replied, "Shopkeeper Liao once mentioned that he was willing to pay a large sum of money to purchase the soap formula and hoped to discuss it with Your Highness in person."

Upon hearing this, Li Quan played with a piece of top-quality white jade in his hand, seeming to be thinking.

After a moment, he looked up at Xiao Tingting: "Do you think I should sell the formula to He's Store?"

Xiao Tingting was stunned by the question, then shook her head and said, "Your Highness, in my opinion, although soap is small, it has infinite potential. In my estimation, it will replace the soap beans used by ordinary people and the scented soaps used by wealthy families in the future."

She paused and continued, “Moreover, soap is very cheap and almost everyone can use it.

The price is high now, just because it is a new product. When the price drops in the future, the annual sales volume can reach at least one million. Even if only half of the profit is calculated, Your Highness can earn 500,000 strings of cash every year.

Therefore, selling the formula would be a loss-making move.”
