The drug manufacturing workshop is under construction, and the knife players are also training. Now it is Yang Meng's turn to do his best. Everything he does is for one purpose, drug production and drug trafficking, and to sell this drug to the Eight-Nation Alliance to realize his dream of luxury.

The Eight-Nation Alliance sold opium to the Qing Dynasty, which would definitely prevent these things from flowing back, so Yang Meng wanted to create a new type of drugs that could be accepted by foreigners.

On the first day of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Meng asked Ding Baojun that what he mentioned had become Yang Meng's best way to cover up.

But Yang Meng has only heard of this snuff before and has never really seen it. If you want to make a new thing, you must see and try what snuff is.

Ding Ding Baojun also said that day that he would ask the horse gang to bring some back, but the horse gang did not come back. When will he leave and when will he come back with snuff, it is nowhere to be long. His time is tight, so it is better to get some in Kunming City. As long as he knows the smell and add conch to the snuff.

In that place in Kunming, I didn’t like myself, nor did I plan to see me there, so Cen Yuying became an errand runner.

Yang Meng asked him to buy a bottle of all the snuffs in Kunming City. It would be best if he could find out how to make snuffs.

Cen Yuying is also very happy to do things. It took more than an hour to get things done. However, there are not many types of snuffs in Kunming City, only two categories: Indian snuff and Sichuan snuff, and several flavors of flavors are in stock.

Yang Meng tried to smell it and it tasted pretty good. Once you sucked it with your nose, this thing became a bit choking and the taste was a bit sour, bitter and spicy. If you can use this thing, you won’t have to worry about sales for your own things.

"Yu Ying, have you learned about the preparation of snuff?"

Once you have something, just take medicine according to the prescription and prepare the snuff, then add conch, and then you can do business.

"San Ye, this snuff is not easy to make. You need to choose good tobacco leaves, remove mud and grind into fine powder, and then add various precious medicinal materials to store for more than ten months and years. The best snuffs are stored for decades. The price of this thing is surprisingly high. This snuff costs a few taels of silver. These are still inefficient snuffs. A real good thing costs hundreds of taels of silver a pot."

When Yang Meng heard this, he became timid. A few taels of silver would cost hundreds of kilograms of food! Not to mention the cost of conch, the snuff alone would make his new drugs a luxury.

Although luxury goods can also make money, the most profitable transaction is still popular. This snuff is so expensive that it must not be used as an auxiliary material for diluting drugs.

In the past, when diluting drugs, most of them used milk powder, talc powder, cocoa powder and other things, but white things are terrible and terrible. Once people suspect it, they will destroy their own plan to make money.

"Yuying, come here to find Lao Jiang, let's think of an idea together."

Fearing that Cen Yuying had too little experience and could not come up with any good ideas, Yang Meng asked him to find Jiang Shu first, and the three of them thought together, what could be replaced by snuff.

"Laojiang, is there talc powder in Yunnan?"

"Yes, this is a medicinal herb, sweet and light taste, cold in nature, non-toxic, also called liquid stone or co-stone. In the mountains near Kunming, there is white talc. The ground powder is the best among talc powder."

This river tree is very useful first. Not to mention the valley, just his familiarity with Yunnan minerals is worth the money.

“How much does talc powder cost?”

"A cheap thing, because white talc is available everywhere, it only takes some effort. A big boy can sell half a bag."

With talc powder, the next thing is to have some fragrance, which can replace the powder of snuff.

"Lao Jiang, Yu Ying, think about it, this Yunnan has powdered medicine with aroma, which is best for the human body. The finer it can be ground, the better, and the less valuable it is, the better."

This time, the two of them were stumped. There are many medicinal materials in Yunnan, but most of them are expensive. There are many medicinal materials that can be ground into powder, and fewer ones can nourish the body. In addition, there is no value, where can I find such a good item?

"San Ye doesn't know what the purpose of this medicinal material is to be found?"

Cen Yuying is not as dull as Jiang Shuxian. If things are easy to find, the Third Master will not ask questions. If he knows what the Third Master is going to do, finding things may be easier.

"Imitation of snuff does not require tobacco leaves, but others should like to smoke."

Cen Yuying had never seen this thing before, so it was not easy to ask him to come up with a replacement, but Lao Jiang was knowledgeable. He picked up the snuff and looked at it, smelled it, and hesitated to speak, but he was afraid that the third master would blame him.

"Just say something, I'm not an official, can you beat you?"

When Yang Meng saw Lao Jiang's appearance, he knew that he had something to say. It was very troublesome to communicate with these Qing people, and he had to be arrogant from time to time. Although Yang Meng was uncomfortable in the past ten days, he was also somewhat as handsome as a wealthy young master.

"Tea powder!"

Jiang Shuxian gave the answer with some trepidation. The snuff is not much yellow. The white talc powder and some dark green tea powder are similar in color. With the tea aroma, it can also be sold as fake snuff.

"Does there be more tea powder? Our tea still needs to make money, so it would be a pity if it is ground."

Under the influence of Ding Baojun, Yang Meng became more and more stingy. Tea is the main business of the Yang family. It is a pity that it is ground and used as an auxiliary material.

"San Ye, you don't know that in Yunnan, local tea leaves, mostly made Tuo tea for easy transportation. This Tuo tea is a tea brick in the shape of a bowl. There are often some waste residues in making Tuo tea. These things are combined with tea stems and are then made into another Tuo tea. Good Tuo tea is sold to Sichuan and other places, and this time some Tuo tea is sold to Tibetan.

The other side is bitter and cold, and there are no vegetables. Tibetans like to eat beef and mutton. The ingredients for tea are the best to relieve greasiness. If you sell the good tea, they think it is a defective product.

When making tea bricks, you should not add too much tea powder, as it will be difficult to form if you add too much. Some of these crushed pieces can be sold, but most of them are discarded. The old man’s family is in a mess and uses tea powder when he wants to drink tea."

Jiang Shu said one of the first words, which made Yang Meng dance. The fragrance of tea is the Chinese flavor. Isn’t this the best selling point? Tea fragrance snuff, I just don’t know if it can be made.

"Yuying, go and inform Uncle Ding and ask him to get some tea powder from our tea factory. Lao Jiang is responsible for making talc powder! Then get some grinding tools and get the silver from Uncle Ding."

If the diluent asked, he would have been almost successful. He just waited to grab some opium and make conchs and add them.

The third master of the Yang family said that anyone who dared to take it as a warning was ready in just one or two hours. Yang Meng sent Lao Jiang and Cen Yuying to grind the tea powder and talc powder again, and then used the finest sieve again. The remaining powder was extremely fine and smooth, and now it depends on how it tastes.

He found a accountant and asked him to take the talcum used for gold and silver, and mix talc powder and tea powder into more than a dozen samples according to the ratio. After Yang Meng, Cen Yuying, Lao Jiang and the three of them tried one by one, the three of them agreed.

The sample of three-quarter talc and seven-quarter tea powder tastes the best, gently and softly with a long tea aroma. The only disadvantage is that it is a little worse in terms of the aroma. It is difficult to taste its taste without inhaling it into the nasal cavity.

"Lao Jiang, after we cut the tobacco paste here, how should we deal with the remaining opium grass?"

The lack of aroma. After the poppy is cut into tobacco paste, the remaining fruits and straws can best enhance the fragrance. Although the smell is worse, it will definitely have a strange fragrance when inhaled into the nasal cavity.

"Most of them are burned in firewood, and some people use the straw as shreds of tobacco, which is also good."

Jiang Shuxian is very familiar with the local area in Yunnan, and he is most familiar with some of the city things.

After getting poppy fruits and straw, grinding them into powder, sifting them carefully, Yang Meng began to try and blend the recipe again. These things contain a small amount of drugs. After adding them, the taste really became even more fragrant.

After recording the recipes one by one, Lao Jiang became a purchaser. Yang Meng was afraid that the old man would embezzle him, so he made a guarantee that the things must be collected at the lowest price. For every 1,000 kilograms of available powder, he would give Lao Jiang some water heads, and if he was greedy, he would be killed directly.

In the choice between money and fate, Lao Jiang chose to continue making money. Why did Yang Meng say so? Lao Jiang can understand that the most familiar thing about the officials of the court from top to bottom is corruption. If Yang Meng did not remind him, Lao Jiang would also act according to the old methods.

With the Yang family's financial resources and manpower, it was very easy to make these. The tea powder accumulated over the years had to be tens of thousands of kilograms, and some of them were even moldy. Yang Meng ignored all these orders and dried them and grinded them and sieved them. In order to preserve them for a long time, all of the tea powders were put into porcelain jars and sealed with oil cloth.

In the cave, Yang Meng also asked someone to find a lot of residue left over from burning lime to prevent moisture. These were originally possible with quicklime, but Lao Jiang, who was used to hard life, used a few silver dollars to wrap a few residues from the ash kiln, and they had to be responsible for filling them in straw bags.

Yang Meng also customized a batch of rod scales for large items, porcelain bottles and copper jars for the final product, and now the auxiliary materials are basically prepared, and the raw materials for local poisoning are short of opium.

Opium is also a thing that the imperial court verbally prohibited, but only those smokers know whether this ban is easy to use. Yang Meng didn’t know much about the local situation in Yunnan, and he didn’t know even more about the caravans transporting opium.

Cen Yuying and Lao Jiang were also given for nothing. They didn’t even touch opium, so let alone know where these opium came from.

This thing has to be found by the old man. If you look for Uncle Ding, you should find the old man. It would be better to explain to the old man that you are going to grab a batch of opium for research.

The old man must know the situation in Yunnan that it would be impossible for him to hide the opium from his family. It is not impossible for Yang Meng to do it himself, because he is afraid of getting involved in a difficult family, which would cause trouble for the Yang family.

I am just starting out now, so I still have to be more secure. I can only ask the old man for this matter. When my products come out, the old man will know it. It is better to go to showdown now.

After finding his father who was resting in the lobby, Yang Meng also made a straightforward move and handed over the chore.

"Dad! I'm going to rob the opium. Do you know which company does this business?"

"Oh! The Third Master is here! I'm busy all these days, what are you doing to make fun of!"

The old man Yang Shiqin spoke like a treacherous minister. It seems that the old man is probably clear about what he has made.
