Chapter 138: The smoke billows
After a passionate statement, scholars like Han Zheng and Ye Dui naturally understood it. Although Zhang Dashe felt that Zhu Zhen’s gains were a bit empty, he had also experienced hard life and knew the bitterness of poor people. How Zhu Zhen helped him at the beginning, but now he wanted to help others by himself, which is also considered to be the reason.
Yu Huer, Chang Mao and other martial artists had long been drowsy, but they didn't dare to sleep. They were so angry that they looked like they were suffering in hell. Zhu Zhen wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
Although these warriors are slower in governing the country, if you let them know why they fight, they will definitely be troublesome in the future.
It may not be a good thing to do things at first.
Zhen didn't understand the history of the Ming Dynasty, but occasionally he could listen to a lot of things from messy forums. Why did the warriors who chased Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world rarely ended up well?
It's because most of them are a group of warriors who only know how to kill and fight. They are powerful when they go on horseback and guns, but they are useless to govern the country.
Yu the Empire did not help much, but it was a time bomb that could explode at any time. With Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, how could he keep them?
It is better to teach them some truths than to let them die under the butcher knife in the future.
After a long time, Zhu Zhen also felt a little dry and took out the inventory he had treasured for a long time from his pocket. He sucked Zhu Yuanzhang in Yangu Mountain.
No one expected that cigarettes would become an extremely fashionable product in Yingtian.
Many warriors feel that it is extremely comfortable to suck a cigarette after a war or after a meal.
There was no such thing in the market, but Zhu Zhen, who had great powers, had already started the business. When he was still stirring up the turmoil in Gusu, he secretly instructed Hu Er to find Western merchants and ask them to collect tobacco from Luzon.
Today, Zhu Zhen not only has the largest bandage shop in Yingtian, but his tobacco workshop opened in Yingtian is also famous in Jiangnan.
Now the person in charge of the tobacco workshop is the young master of the Shen family, who is intoxicated.
Since I was so immersed in my heart that I came to Xuyi, chambers of commerce from all over the country have traveled thousands of miles to the mountains and have also wanted to act as an agent for the cigarette business.
Nowadays, whether it is the literati and military generals who have been evolving in meetings in the Political Affairs Hall, they always suck up the clouds and mists during the meeting. Even Zhu Yuanzhang often had to stay up late to handle government affairs, and he always sucked one or two pieces while exhausted, and relaxed his mind.
Zhu Zhen also had a headache about this matter.
Scholars who plan to future generations will definitely write down a lot.
The content Zhu Zhen had already imagined it in his mind. He probably wrote it like this. The wind of smoking in the country began with a man in Xuyi County. At first, Taizu and the man in the county met by chance in Yangu Mountain. After the sword and axe, they had sex with each other. They wanted to have a lot of fun, swallowing clouds and fog, floating like fairies. Since then, smoking in my country has become a trend. Foreign countries have visited the country, and the country also welcomed exquisite cigarettes.
When all countries came to pay tribute, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but laugh when the scene of the bosses of the Ministry of Rites and a group of princes of foreign countries.
Seeing Zhu Zhen holding a snow-white cigarette there again, he was pondering.
No one dares to disturb you.
Mr. Dui did not smoke second-hand cigarettes, and skillfully took out a box of Desheng House-branded cigarettes from his arms, Yingtianchan in the back. Mr. Ye Dui's disciples and old officials were everywhere, so the cigarette was naturally sent by the students.
The box is a square copper box with exquisite workmanship. The front of the copper box is written with large characters in thin gold style of Deshengmen San Ge, with handsome and full of literary charm. The back is a delicate and subtle young woman in Jiangnan.
When I opened the copper box, I looked at the inventory with some distress. There must be no high-end items such as lighters. The old man took out a fire note from his arms and lit one on his own.
Seeing the county man and Mr. Ye Dui start to suck the clouds and mist, several martial artists realize that the intermission time has come.
Old men like Chang Mao and Hu Er, who were naturally in Ying Tianlai, had soldiers to smoke. Literati fought at night and needed a slight reminder to refresh themselves, so their martial artists could not avoid the vulgarity.
When standing guard, if you are so sleepy that you are so angry that you can smoke one in the smoking room, you can refresh your mind in a short while and make you feel energetic for several hours.
Although the cigarettes of Changmao and theirs are also called Deshengmen, the copper box is not as fine as Mr. Ye Dui. There are a few solemn and big characters written on the front of the stencil and silver hook, Deshengmen.
On the face is a Han man wearing armor and holding a spear. He carved a few small characters to drive away the Tartars and restored to China.
There are rumors that these words were written by Duke Wu.
Why did Zhu Zhen come out in Gusu? He immediately became a Xuyi County man.
This has a lot to do with Zhu Zhen's methods. After Zhu Zhen met Shen Zui, he immediately built a tobacco workshop through the Shen family's relationship and contacted Zhu Yuanzhang through the princess' relationship.
He is willing to give 60% of the profits to Zhu Yuanzhang, hoping that those who are in Zhu Yuanzhang's jurisdiction will have tobacco specialty.
It is true that Yuanzhang looked down on businessmen, but if the money was not put into his pocket, Zhu Yuanzhang would naturally not be stingy. Besides, people are running for his son's life and death, so they have to make a profit. This is a typical loyal minister.
How could Zhu Yuanzhang become so stingy? With a big stroke, he wrote down the words Zhu Zhen asked for, but also generously agreed to Zhu Zhen that the tobacco business allowed the Zhu Zhen family to operate for generations.
Ying Tian, who quickly became popular with Zhu Zhen's cigarettes, Zhang Shicheng's Gusu, Chen Youliang's Han, and even the Northern Yuan Dynasty began to secretly send merchants to the south to buy.
Some nobles in the capital were very upset about the wars in Jiangnan every day, but whenever they smoked two cigarettes, they felt that all their worries were gone.
Mao lit one by himself, held the cigarette in his mouth, took a sniffle, and suddenly felt dizzy, but he pretended to be very happy.
After spending a long time, it turned out that the inventory on his body had already been finished. He snatched the cigarette box from Chang Mao's arms, ordered a piece for himself, and asked Liu Qingshan if he could suck it.
Liu Qingshan first smelled the pungent smell and shook his head violently.
Seeing a group of people enjoying themselves and feeling a little greedy, Zhu Zhen ordered Yao Tianxi to take a box.
It turns out that men don’t need others to teach them to smoke.
Qingshan was like Zhu Zhen and sucked the cigarette in a while.
This is my first time smoking, and it is really choking. My face starts to turn red and I still cough.
In Han Zheng's opinion, such behavior really lost all the style of scholars. However, Mr. Ye Dui is highly respected and he is not able to say anything.
I asked curiously: "Mr. Ye Dui, what is this?" Ye
Mr. Dui took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Looking at your frowning face, I must have wanted the county men to ban this thing? Come on, lit one, taste it and then define it."
If he gives me, he dare not refuse.
Zheng took the cigarette handed over by Ye Dui, imitated Ye Dui's appearance and took a sip. It turned out that the scribe's cigarette was different from the martial artist's ones. The smell was not as choking as it smelled. I don't know if it was because of the vanilla, but it also had a faint fragrance."
How about it?" Mr. Ye Dui asked in a low voice.
"This thing is very instant, and it has the ability to refresh the mind. But when I see Hu Er and other people smoking, this thing is a bit like a mandala flower, which can make people hallucinate and become addicted." Han Zheng expressed his opinion. Ye
Dui looked at Han Zheng in surprise and exclaimed: "I didn't expect you to know the mandala flower. Yes, this thing is called cigarettes, which is a product created by the county man. You are right. This thing is indeed similar to the mandala flower. Smoking smoke can relax your mind and refresh your mind. It can indeed make people addicted, but it does not cause hallucination. The county man said that if this thing is consumed in large quantities, it is indeed harmful to the body. But in a small amount, for people like us who have a lot of work, it is indeed a magical thing to relieve stress and raise our spirits. And you may not know that Yingtian and Suzhou alone brought 50,000 taels of silver to Duke Wu. This is not the part that is taxed and distributed to the county man." Han
Upon hearing this, Zheng laughed softly and said, "I thought the Duke of China can achieve today all depends on his record in Gusu. Who would have thought that there was still some suspicion of buying a title. But the title obtained in this way would be difficult to last."
Ye Dui dusted the ashes into the bamboo ash tube placed on several guards. He knew Han Zheng’s concerns and said leisurely: “Your master’s family can have the status and status today, which is the result of all aspects of their roles. Seeing that you are good, I would like to mention you a few words. Do you know who the old man Zhu Zhen is supporting?"
Zheng shook his head and said, "I only know that the old man respectfully called Ma Erye, but I don't know the others. I heard that he has kindness to the county man, so the county man has always supported him." Ye
Dui smiled and said, "It is true that Master Ma and Zhu Zhen have kindness, but Zhu Zhen treats the old man with sincerity. In order to save Master Ma, he fought with Duke Yangushan and fought against a thousand, which became a good story. After that, Master Ma treated Zhu Zhen as his grandson, but few people knew about his other identity, that is, he was the second uncle of Duke Guo’s wife." Han
Zheng was shocked and said, "So that's it. I said with the cautious nature of Duke Wu, how could he be willing to be a baron outsider?" Ye
Mr. Dui smiled and said, "Outsider, this kid is not an outsider. You have seen two wives in your head, but you must not know that Yingtian also has a wife, who is the biological daughter of Duke Wu. Zhu Yuanzhang originally intended to marry the princess to Li Shanchang's son, but after hearing about his and Zhu Zhen's private decision, he was not furious, but also discussed with Mrs. Ma, just wait for the county men to make contributions and return to Yingtian to the day of their marriage. Boy, now you know that your head's origin is good."
Han Zheng nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "The Lord's roots are so extraordinary, it's hard for me to be a retainer to do anything."
Mr. Ye Dui had just taken a puff of cigarette, but saw Zhu Zhen, who had just been sucking clouds and spitting mist, suddenly winking at him. When he heard it, he seemed to have footsteps outside. However, the meeting hall was already at the fire scene, and the smoke was shrouded in the smoke and could not see clearly. The old man quickly crushed the cigarette, put the tail of the cigarette into the ashtray, and put a characteristic incense ball into his mouth.
Zhu Zhenze had finished eating the fragrant pills and calmly picked up a cup of tea and put it in his mouth.
Han Zheng looked at the two men who were dying in confusion, with puzzled eyes. He had just entered his soul and felt that the cigarette was so good.
Why did two people stop and say it?
I saw two gentle and dignified mistresses suddenly appearing beside me. The lady who likes to play the piano just frowned and said nothing. The noble princess, who is not that easy to talk to.
He pointed to his nose and cursed: "You are such a ignorant person. You actually asked your master to smoke second-hand smoke. There are also a few of you. Is it harmful to suck second-hand smoke? The county man is young and has good health, so he can take two mouthfuls without any hindrance. Who is responsible for the damage to Mr. Ye's body?" Ye
Mr. Dui looked righteous and waved his hand, "Madam, it's okay. I've been busy with government affairs recently, and these young people are tired. It's better to let them take a few puffs of cigarettes to refresh themselves."
Zhang Lingfeng said, "Sir, don't spoil them. Next time I will see you smoking this thing in front of the old man and the county man, be careful that I will never end up with you."
Mu Yurou walked to Zhu Zhen and blew his shoulders. Although Zhu Zhen took fragrant pills and drank tea, the strong smell of smoke on his body could not be hidden.
Duanmu Yuhe quickly hung a sachet on Zhu Zhen, "You were too careless, let the princess smell it and make a noise again." Zhu
Zhen pulled Duanmu Yuhe's hand, "You are just meticulous. What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
