Overnight, the bandit groups near Yun'an City fell apart, and the common people had no idea what had happened. The news spread among the slaves of the nobles: Qinglong Village had wiped out all the other hilltops, not sparing a single family.
Even fewer people knew that on that day, with the destruction of more than a dozen hilltops, the leader of the Wuwei Army, Ye Xiaoming, was also a little distraught after returning.
Some people speculated that Ye Xiaoming might have fought with the new king of Qinglong Village, but lost!
This is very scary. Ye Xiaoming, as a second-rank, was defeated? What is the strength of Qinglong Village?
However, Ye Xiaoming became silent after he came back. All the nobles and slave owners who wanted to inquire about the news were turned away. Some people noticed that Ye Xiaoming had sent people out of the city. Everyone thought that Ye Xiaoming might be going to call for reinforcements, but those who secretly left the city died outside the city.
For a time, Qinglong Village became a somewhat taboo word among the nobles. No one wanted to act rashly and could only wait.
Whether the Wuwei Army made any moves or Qinglong Village made any new moves, it would probably have a profound impact on Yun'an City.
At the same time, the people of Qinglong Village were not idle at all. They saw Li Heitan and his men running to Yun'an City one after another, carrying boxes of soap...
Many shops were actually quite scared at first. They had just collected protection fees, so why did they come again? Then there was a rumor that Qinglong Village had a new owner.
Everyone understood that if a new owner was replaced, he would definitely collect protection fees again. This was a process of establishing prestige. Anyone who dared not to pay protection fees would probably be killed as a warning to others.
Moreover, the strength of Qinglong Village is now mysterious and unpredictable. God knows what means they have prepared to deal with everyone.
Then, everyone gradually discovered that Qinglong Village really wanted to do business with everyone...
Li Heitan led people to carry boxes of soap into the city, and said to the shop owners: "This soap is a good thing. My king said that this thing is a necessity of life. Even if we don't sell it, you will come to us to buy it after you get used to it."
Lv Shu is very confident about this. Ordinary people have a demand for convenience in life. If they are used to using soap that is clean after washing, they will definitely miss this feeling.
This is a product of the times, so Lu Shu believes that he only needs to open up the situation and he will usher in an inevitable harvest.
Gradually, the nobles wanted to find out what Qinglong Village was doing, so they took these soaps to study. They wanted to know if this thing was really so magical, or was it a trick of Qinglong Village?
Then everyone found out...it was really useful!
The soap sold by Qinglong Village now is a bit expensive, and most civilians can't afford it. As a result, within seven days, soap became a trend among the children of the nobles, because some nobles and slave owners found that this soap would make their hair particularly clean after washing.
The era of washing hair with leaves has passed, and Yun'an City has officially entered the era of soap.
If it were a normal product, it would definitely not be promoted so quickly. After all, Qinglong Village is promoting it in the form of collecting protection fees...
The nobles felt a little annoyed. In the past, bandits also sold things to collect protection fees, but that was just a fig leaf. They sold things like stones and branches.
It was the first time they saw bandits selling things seriously, and the things they sold were quite useful...
In the blink of an eye, a month and a half passed, and everyone got used to the days when Qinglong Village sent soap down the mountain. They found that not every household in Qinglong Village sold it. At least for ordinary people, it was voluntary. If they wanted to buy, they bought it, and if they didn't want to buy, they didn't.
For a time, the common people had a very good impression of Qinglong Village, and even thought that Qinglong Village was a good bandit who acted in the name of justice. As a result, they were told that the big flag on Qinglong Village had been changed. It was no longer called "acting in the name of justice", but "getting rid of poverty and becoming rich"...
In addition, during this period, some people went out of the city to visit relatives, and when they came back, they told the people in the city that they encountered people from Qinglong Village blocking the road when they went out of the city. Everyone was shocked: "Qinglong Village didn't do anything to you, did it?"
The lessons of encountering bandits on the road in the past are vivid, and many families have been destroyed, but it seems that this person is fine.
The man said: "They didn't rob me of money, and even stuffed me a piece of soap wrapped in paper and asked me to take it to my relatives, but I must tell my relatives that this is produced by Qinglong Village in Yun'an City..."
Others took a breath of cold air. Why is this bandit less and less like a bandit?
The members of Qinglong Village felt this most clearly. To be honest, the money earned in the past half month can equal the income of the previous year. After all, it used to be shared by more than ten companies, but now Qinglong Village is the only one. Except for the 10% profit sharing with Ye Xiaoming, the leader of the Wuwei Army, the rest belongs to Qinglong Village.
And Lu Shu is not satisfied with this sales volume at all. Except for Li Heitan's group who need to run to the city, everyone else is producing soap.
Yun'an City is too small. It is not like a city on Earth, where there are millions of people.
According to Lu Shu's estimation, Yun'an City may have less than 100,000 people in total. Of course, Yun'an City has been abused by the Wuwei Army for so many years, and it is good to have tens of thousands of people.
But among the tens of thousands of people, not many can afford soap, and Lu Shu does not want to rob ordinary people, because their lives are already difficult.
So Lu Shu set his sights on the market outside.
Luzhou is so big, if all Luzhou uses soap, won't it take off? You have to know that there are no scientists in this era, and it will take a year or two for these guys to figure out how to make soap.
Qinglong Village is slowly whitewashing, but Lu Shu has never thought about whitewashing it all. After all, in this chaotic world, if you look powerful, it will reduce a lot of bullying.
Lu Shu felt that he was too rigid some time ago. He always wanted to quietly integrate himself into this Luzhou world and make himself like a Luzhou person. As a result, he later found that Luzhou was really fucking chaotic. Everyone was thinking about survival and strength. He only needed to make himself a little more domineering to be like a Luzhou person... No one else would think too much.
A new month has arrived. Lu Shu asked Li Heitan to collect new protection fees. When Li Heitan and his men rode to Lin's Pawn Shop, the shopkeeper greeted them with a smile: "You are the heroes of Qinglong Village. We have been saying recently that you Qinglong Village are all good people, not like bandits at all."
Li Heitan glanced at him: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? This time I brought new soap, you can take it at the price."
Lin Gui smiled awkwardly: "It's like this, we haven't sold out the box last time, so we don't want it this time."
Li Heitan glanced at Lin Gui and took out the machete on his waist and put it on the table: "Don't want it? Who allowed you to say you don't want it?"
Lin Gui: "..."
"Negative emotion value from Lin Gui, +666!"
