Chapter 2284: Chapter 2281: Ye Hao’s Superior Zhao Xin

Since the quantity of milk soap is limited, no one targets it.

After all, ordinary soap sells well in Great Chu, and few can afford milk and goat milk soap. Large families disdain such small profits, while small families dare not offend Ye Hao and Chu Heng.

It can be said that Ye Zhao is also a smart person.

Not only that.

He opened a small shop to ensure that the Old Woman Ye couple and his wife lived without worries, while secretly making many friends.

With these people around, Ye Zhao did a significant thing to help Ye Hao after winter set in.

Ye Zhao used the wool he previously exchanged, turning it into wool sweaters using the method Ye Muyu mentioned, surpassing others in quality.

It’s a product of extensive experience from later generations, much better than what was made during initial ancient experiments.

Using these wool sweaters.

He and his friends ran around the Northern Region, only selling in major cities. He didn’t set up stalls, but went directly to large households, making a considerable profit.

Then he went to the south, where cotton clothing was cheaper, and brought back many cotton clothes.

He then handed them over to Ye Hao.

Ye Hao negotiated with his superiors to buy a batch of affordable cotton clothes for his Cavalry Battalion brothers, marking another achievement.

Ye Hao’s direct superior, the General of the Fifth Cavalry Camp, was the Emperor’s confidant, General Zhao, Zhao Xin.

Once in the capital, he had compared skills with Chu Heng, and he favored the reforms Chu Heng proposed for the military camps, all beneficial to the soldiers, building Zhao Xin’s positive impression of Chu Heng.

Thus, he had a good attitude towards Ye Hao too.

With him mediating with other leaders, others truly had no way to refuse.

Before other Cavalry Battalions even reacted, the Fifth Cavalry Camp had decided not only to have cotton clothes but also used saved silver to buy warm wool socks.

And these wool socks were naturally made by Ye Zhao.

The emergence of wool socks surprised the ancient folks, who had only been focusing on keeping their shoes warm in winter, to find that the socks could also be made warmer!

The thousands of pairs of socks Ye Zhao prepared were sold out in just a few days.

Because of this matter, Ye Zhao had some regrets, knowing that once the socks were sold, others would quickly begin to imitate them.

One should not underestimate the skills of those embroiderers; given one spark of inspiration, imitation would be a breeze.

Ye Muyu couldn’t help but find this amusing.

In fact, this was quite normal. Even in modern times, with patents in place, people find ways to imitate and piracy is rampant, let alone in ancient times with no awareness of patent piracy.

Besides, she considered it as piracy of other people’s knowledge, and any profit was considered good enough.

Monopoly isn’t a good phenomenon.

Ye Muyu picked up her pen to advise Ye Zhao that since the socks were being imitated, he could seize the opportunity to sell the yarn directly, wholesaling them to merchants, or even open a decent workshop.

With such a workshop, the Ye family could at least be a comfortably off family. Gradually developing and expanding their industry, and accumulating initial capital, isn’t this the way to grow strong?

No matter the era, in business, initial capital is very important.

However, Ye Muyu was unaware.

Before she wrote the letter, Ye Zhao had already thought of this.

The reason he thought of it was purely from his kindness.

Seeing many Northern Region folks idle during winter, with no farm work and poverty-stricken, fearing they would not survive the winter.

After seeing this often.

He pondered what kind of business he could start that everyone could engage in.
