Chapter 76: Great Things

Wu Jing sighed: "Mr. Shen, to be honest, it is time for all officials to purify them, and you should do your best."

Chen Que nodded and said, "It is time to be purged, but I am not Song Jing, so how can I complete the purgation in a short period of time? If Song Jing was ordered to do this, I dare not say that all officials will be honest in three days. I have not been able to do this for a year or two."

Song Jing was straightforward and had a very high status in the minds of all officials. Even officials who were dissatisfied with him praised him for his integrity. If Song Jing came to punish all officials, all officials would definitely restrain themselves and dare not act recklessly. Although Chen Que is famous, upright and has good character, there is still a big gap compared to Song Jing. Therefore, all officials are afraid of Song Jing but not Chen Que. It will take a long time for him to clean up all officials.

Within one or two years, Chen Que was only named as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, but could not be in charge of the director. Princess Taiping actually gave the prince a short position as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, and the court structure did not change significantly.

Ruizong originally wanted to take the Zhongshu Ling, but if Duke Taiping mainly disagreed, the brother and sister would inevitably turn against each other. The cleverness of Princess Taiping is that she catered to Ruizong's thoughts and also put Chen Que under the guise. Princess Taiping recommended Chen Que to take the Zhongshu Ling, which was exactly the same as Ruizong's intention. She wanted to take the Chang'an order at the same time. Ruizong always had to give her some face and could not help but agree.

For Li Longji, his eyes were more long-term. The ministers should indeed give some warnings. Looking at the ministers in the court, they could only take charge of this matter. As for whether the Secretariat has real power, Li Longji didn't care. In his opinion, the real foundation was not how many confidants were prime ministers and what position they held. But whether they could hold the key position in their hands. Li Longji would now hold the most important military power, and there was no need to worry too much about the others.

Chen Wanrong smiled and comforted Chen Que: "Mr. Shen, you still have to do this, and you have no choice, right?"

Chen Que nodded and said, "Yes! I originally thought that Brother Wan Rong had changed the pattern of the court, but in fact it had changed on the surface and had no practical use." Ruizong originally planned to use Chen Que to change the pattern of the court, but he did not expect that Princess Taiping would destroy it, which was really unexpected.

Chen Wanrong laughed: "Mr. Shen, I was also angry for a moment. How dare I change the situation of the court?"

Wu Jing said intriguingly: "Mr. Shen, you have too high expectations. A Zhongshu Ling cannot change the situation of the court."

Chen Que nodded and changed the topic: "Brother Wanrong, the prince will send Wang Maozhong to deal with the matter of the Crescent Sect. There is another thing, the prince wants me to tell you, Yang Sixu is going to Lingnan, and you want to send Wang Shaohua here."

Yang Sixu sent Chen Wanrong back to his mansion after the morning court, and went to the East Palace to ask Li Longji for orders to go to Lingnan. Unexpectedly, Li Longji agreed so soon.

"Okay, everything is listened to the prince." Chen Wanrong nodded in agreement.

The three of them said a while before they met the ministers. The ministers gathered together in groups of three or five and chatted, which was lively. Chen Wanrong glanced briefly, and the more than 100 officials were very spectacular. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and thought to himself, "This is a great opportunity, I have to make good use of it." Chen Wanrong warned himself in his heart.

With a certain idea, Chen Wanrong called Niu Shangxin and muttered a few words in his ear. Niu Shangxin nodded and trotted. Chen Wanrong then said to the ministers: "Dear colleagues: I am very grateful to come to the humble house for your appreciation. Recently, I made something to give to you, and I would like to accept it with you."

Everyone knows that Chen Wanrong is the founder of Chen's Chemical Industry. His ideas are novel and unexpected. The production of Chen's Chemical Industry is even more unspeakable. It's very good. After listening to his words, the ministers suddenly became interested. Dou Huaizhen took the lead in asking: "May I ask, Lord Chen, what good thing is it?"

These words were exactly what the ministers thought, and they all looked at Chen Wanrong with wide eyes, hoping that he would give the answer.

Chen Wanrong did not answer the front, but asked back: "Dear colleagues, you all have fragrant bodies, are you smoked with spices?"

"Is that more than that? Who is not smoked with spices?" a minister replied with a smile.

"Yes!" the ministers agreed.

Chen Wanrong shook his hand and said, "The things I gave you are the same as spices, which can make you fragrant. Of course, it is not as troublesome as spices. The spices need to be smoked, and I only need to apply a little bit on my body to ensure that you are more fragrant than women."

The last sentence is to joke, and the ministers burst into laughter.

"Mr. Chen, what kind of good treasure is that?" Xiao Zhizhong became interested and couldn't help but ask.

Chen Wanrong answered his question this time: "My thing is called perfume. Come on, give each adult a bottle."

Niu Shangxin responded and brought someone to Dou Huaizhen and the others for a bottle. The ministers took it in their hands. The first thing they had to do was to verify it. As soon as the plug was opened, a fragrant smell came to his nose, and a cheerful sound came.

Many people were about to pour it on their bodies, and Chen Wanrong quickly raised his voice to stop it: "Sir: This is not how perfume is used, please see the instructions above."

"Perfume, as the name suggests, is fragrance water. How can it be used if it doesn't pour on your body?" A minister nagged and looked at the explanation. If he didn't look at it, he couldn't help but blush. After reading the explanation, he realized that he knew nothing about perfume. If he poured it on his body, it would be amazing. It might be fragrant in ten or eight days.

After reading the instructions, some people couldn't help but pour some on their bodies. When they walked alone, everyone worked. After a while, most of the ministers applied perfume, and they were all very fragrant, and they were all very happy.

Dou Huaizhen and Xiao Zhizhong also applied some on their bodies, and when they smelled each other, they immediately changed color. Dou Huaizhen frowned: "Mr. Xiao, why did you grow a rose on your body? It would be almost the same if it grows on a woman. How is it so good for you, a big man, to have a rose on your body?"

Xiao Zhizhong was dissatisfied and glared: "Mr. Dou, don't make fun of me, aren't you the same? Smell yourself, a cherry tree grows on your body, and the smell of cherry blossoms."

"Cherry blossoms are always better than roses!" Dou Huaizhen was righteous and upright.

When they smelled each other, they all carried incense on their bodies, and stood among the ministers, as if they were entering the flowers. Some ministers felt something was wrong and were shocked to look at each other.

Chen Wanrong kept shook his head: "Dear colleagues, before I finished speaking, you will apply it to your body. Now, what will the emperor think when you go to court tomorrow?"

Yes! They are all as fragrant as flowers. If you stand in the court, the court will become a garden. Can Ruizong not smell it?

The ministers' faces changed: "Mr. Chen, what else has he said?"

Chen Wanrong was just about to explain that the ministers had applied to them. He could not stop them, so he could only let them go. He shook his head helplessly: "Everyone: I mean the perfume in your hands is suitable for women!"

"Ah!" The ministers were shocked and blushed.

The word "woman" is used to curse people with a derogatory meaning, which is very despised. They use women's things, but they can't afford to lose their faces: "Mr. Chen, you have caused me to suffer! We have caused us to suffer!"

Chen Wanrong picked up a porcelain bottle and said, "There is only this kind of perfume now suitable for men and women to share. This is prepared by Master Sima. Applying it on your body will make people feel a sense of being out of the world. You can apply it a little quickly and suppress the fragrance on your body."

If you apply perfume on your body, you can't wash it off and it will take a day to gradually dissipate. Now you can only use this perfume to suppress the fragrance of flowers.

After hearing this, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, took it, and smeared it in a hurry. Fortunately, the fragrance of flowers has faded just now, and at least it will not make people think a lot.

Chen Wanrong’s purpose is to take this opportunity to sell perfume. What does more than 100 imperial officials represent? This is a god-given opportunity, and Chen Wanrong certainly won’t miss it.

"Everyone, although you used this perfume wrongly, it doesn't matter. What's important is that perfume is easier to use than spices, it's not troublesome or troublesome. What do you think?" Chen Wanrong asked back.

Although I used a woman's perfume, the ministers still recognized the perfume and nodded: "Mr. Chen, I didn't say that perfume is a good thing. I wonder how Mr. Chen will sell this perfume?"

Chen Wanrong smiled and explained: "I'll tell the truth because you're attracted to me. This perfume has not been launched yet. On this weekend, I will officially launch it at the Zhengjia store on Zhuque Street. If you have time, please come and enjoy it. At that time, you will have as much as you want, and you will have whatever you want."

"Okay! We will definitely enjoy the glory." The ministers responded with a loud bang.

Chen Wanrong is in the limelight now. He wants to launch perfume. Not everyone, at least a large number of people decided to support Chen Wanrong and save face.

Chen Wanrong doesn't care whether they come or not. As long as they bring the perfume home and give it to their family, they will ensure that their family will come. Not to mention, their family members and relatives and friends will be passed on, and there will be many people who will receive the message. The most important thing is that they are well-off and must buy perfume. This is what Chen Wanrong meant, and smiled and said, "I'll thank you everyone."

The purpose has been achieved, Chen Wanrong didn't say much, and told some gossip to the ministers to answer the questions they raised about perfume. By the time the banquet was ready, the ministers had a deeper understanding of perfume and loved perfume more.

After the banquet, the ministers were satisfied and left.

Chen Wanrong and Wu Jing had the best relationship. When Wu Jing left, Chen Wanrong gave him ten bottles of perfume. Wu Jing also liked this perfume, so he smiled and then said goodbye.

When all the ministers left, Zheng Qing, Wu Daozi and Wang Han surrounded Chen Wanrong and raised their thumbs: "You really have you! Just this time, it's more effective than the poster we've been circulating for the afternoon."

Chen Wanrong did not expect this. If Chen Wanrong hadn't caused trouble unintentionally and unexpectedly made the ministers look at him with admiration and come to have a friendship, there wouldn't be this opportunity.

Good fortune is hidden by misfortune, misfortune depends on good fortune, who can explain the matters of good fortune and misfortune clearly?

This hand was really beautiful, and Chen Wanrong and the others said a while before they went to bed.

The next day, Chen Wanrong had just used breakfast, and Yang Sixu brought Wang Maozhong and Wang Shaohua. Yang Sixu was going to Lingnan, so he naturally wanted to say goodbye.

"I've met Lord Chen!" Yang Sixu greeted each other.

Chen Wanrong hurriedly replied: "Mr. Yang, please don't be too polite. Have you seen Mr. Wang!"

Not to mention that they are all old acquaintances, Chen Wanrong has saved Wang Shaohua and Yu and his son are great benefactors. Wang Maozhong was particularly kind to see Chen Wanrong and said with a smile: "Have you met Lord Chen!"

Wang Shaohua took two steps at a time and went up to meet him: "I have met Brother Chen!" His friendship with Chen Wanrong was extraordinary, and he was also happy to see Chen Wanrong at first.

"Brother Wang, you are polite." Chen Wanrong returned the gift. He invited the three of them to the living room and asked someone to bring tea.

Yang Sixu went straight to the topic: "Mr. Chen is going to go to the military weapon supervisor for business, and time is tight, so I won't say much, I will choose to talk about it. I have two things to come today. One is to say goodbye to Mr. Chen. Yang Sixu was able to go to Lingnan, which is thanks to Lord Chen."

Chen Wanrong shook his hand and said, "Mr. Yang is so serious! I'm just talking casually. This is all the prince's wise and keen eyes to know talents. He wants Lord Yang to go to Lingnan for a walk."

Yang Sixu smiled: "Mr. Chen, you are really humble. The second is to bring Lord Wang and meet you. In fact, you have met you, and it doesn't matter whether you meet or not."

Wang Maozhong quickly said, "Mr. Chen, Lord. Shen, I will deal with the matter of the Crescent Moon Sect. We have to discuss how to proceed."

The Crescent Moon Sect is too mysterious, and Chen Wanrong can’t say anything good: “Mr. Wang, I will listen to you in this matter. This Crescent Moon Sect has a headache for me. I have to take a passerby when I go out, which is not convenient at all.”

Wang Maozhong knew that the Crescent Sect was difficult: "Mr. Chen, if there is any situation, please inform me in time."

"Sure, certain!" Chen Wanrong nodded.

Wang Maozhong did not delay his work, and stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I will say goodbye."

Yang Sixu also stood up: "Mr. Chen, I have said goodbye too."

Chen Wanrong waved his hand and said, "Mr. Yang, please stay for a while." Yang Sixu sat down after hearing this. Chen Wanrong continued, "Mr. Yang must be confident when he goes to Lingnan."

Yang Sixu shook his head: "Mr. Chen is too rewarded. I can only say that I act according to the opportunity and I can't say that I am confident."

Chen Wanrong was very convinced by Yang Sixu's talent. He tried his best to protect me these days, so I had to help him: "Mr. Yang, you must have brought a lot of gifts from the court this time."

Yang Sixu nodded and said, "These small countries have always been rewarded by the court, and this gift is inevitable. Lord Chen, why did you ask?"

Chen Wanrong did not answer the question and asked back, "Mr. Yang, I wonder if you can prepare a gift?"

"I am an envoy, so I don't need a gift." Yang Sixu was very straightforward.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Mr. Yang will surely make achievements when he goes here. I will add icing on the cake. I will give you a hundred bottles of perfume and a hundred pieces of soap. Do you think it is useful?"

Perfume and soap are good things. If you take them to Lingnan, you can use them to make friends with the powerful people of these small countries, and it will be easier to buy information. You should know that perfume and soap are rare things, and they are more attractive than gold, silver and jewelry. How many officials in those small countries can withstand the attraction?

Yang Sixu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Lord Chen! Lord Chen, this is a great affection, I, Yang Sixu, have recorded it."

Chen Wanrong shook his hand: "Mr. Yang is so rude. Mr. Yang is busy in order to protect me these days. You are going on a mission. How can I not do my best?"

Yang Sixu smiled very cheerfully: "Mr. Chen, then I will suffer."

"It's so serious!" Chen Wanrong said humbly and said to Wang Maozhong: "Mr. Wang, I haven't launched this perfume yet, and it's not long before it was made. If it's convenient for Lord. Please help me bring some to the prince and the emperor. I should have gone there myself, but I just want to bother the prince and the prince in such a small matter. How can I bear it?"

Li Longji was devoted to the governance of the country and devoted himself to governing the country. If Chen Wanrong had a special trip to give him some perfume, Li Longji might be unhappy and would have to take Wang Maozhong with him, which would be the best.

Wang Maozhong was grateful to Chen Wanrong and smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Chen, I will do my best."

"Then I'll be fine." Chen Wanrong thanked him and called Niu Shangxin and asked him to prepare the perfume. Not long after, Niu Shangxin was ready. Wang Maozhong and Yang Sixu took the things and said goodbye.

There are many concubines and palace maids in the East Palace and the Imperial Palace, and they must be unwilling to let go of perfume. When this is delivered, the transactions between the East Palace and the Imperial Palace will come to the door, and it will be a large-scale transaction. The perfume has not been officially launched, and Chen Wanrong has won a lot of transactions, which can be said to be a good start!

After finishing this, Chen Wanrong went to the military weapon surveillance with Wang Shaohua. Yesterday, because of Princess Taiping, he did not go there. Chen Wanrong was worried about it and went out and ran away.
