Chapter 439: Tang Yu's jealousy

"Back to the emperor, the prince acquired the Tianlu Chamber of Commerce when the Wang family fell, and now the Tianlu Chamber of Commerce is under the leadership of the prince, so there is a trend of becoming the second royal family." The prince said respectfully.

Yes, this is the excuse that Tang Jin thought of for himself and the Tianlu Chamber of Commerce. It is unreasonable to let a merchant send so much food for no reason, and the only possibility is that Tang Jin has become the owner of others.

"This Tang Jin...... It's really amazing. ”

Although he felt uncomfortable, Tang Yu also had to admit that Tang Jin was really a demon. Whether it is in business or politics, he can achieve achievements that others can't achieve in a lifetime, and I don't know how many streets I have thrown off my unsuccessful sons.

"By the way, you said before that Tang Jin led the entire Yulin County to make a lot of fame, what exactly do you mean?" Tang Yu said curiously.

"This minion is not very clear, but I heard from the people below that His Royal Highness has found something called tobacco, and the cigarettes made from that thing only need a few puffs to make people feel uplifted, soothing and soothing, and also have a lot of medicinal value." The prince struggled to recall.

Tang Yu was interested now, "What kind of cigarette is that...... Is there anything in the palace? ”

"Yes, a few days ago, a few officials in the Western Regions sent a few boxes of tribute." Wang Gonggong said without hesitation.

"Bring it quickly, I want to taste this cigarette for myself, if it is really so magical." Tang Yu snorted coldly, he didn't believe those exaggerated statements, how could he be comfortable by inhaling the cigarette after the leaf was burned into his lungs? It's good to have a runny nose that doesn't choke!

After a short time, the prince came over with a jade box, which contained rolled high-quality cigarettes.

took out one and handed it to the emperor's mouth, and after explaining how to suck it, the prince retreated to the side.

Tang Yu first took a closer look at this strange thing, and smelled it, not to mention that it really had a strange fragrance. Then, Tang Yu followed what the prince said, put it in his mouth and lit it.

The first sip was inhaled, and as expected, it felt a burst of spiciness; Wang Gonggong had already said this just now, Tang Yu did not give up directly, and after enduring the discomfort and taking a few more puffs, a strange feeling of comfort slowly flowed throughout his body.

It felt like a pair of gentle hands roaming over me

I feel more relaxed than ever before, and even the headache that I had been quite unbearable before has disappeared completely.

Suddenly, a burning pain made Tang Yu wake up, and he directly exclaimed and subconsciously threw the cigarette butt in his hand, and before he knew it, Tang Yu had finished smoking the whole cigarette.

"Someone! Tell the Imperial Doctor! Hurry up ......"

"No need!" Tang Yu directly organized the prince, looked at the blisters on his hands, Tang Yu didn't care, and the pain disappeared without a trace as soon as the true qi turned. I don't know how many fatal injuries he suffered on the battlefield, and such burns didn't even qualify him to frown.

After dealing with the burns, Tang Yu's eyes couldn't help but look at the jade box on the side again, just that feeling...... It's beautiful.

Tang Yu decisively took out another cigarette, skillfully lit it, and brought it to his mouth, enjoying the fluttering feeling again.

The prince on the side opened his mouth to tell His Majesty that this thing is addictive if he smokes too much, but when he saw His Majesty's appearance, he closed his mouth again. What is addictive or not, looking at Your Majesty like this, do you still need to pay attention? It's addictive.

So, Tang Yu went one after another, and almost all the time he spent the whole afternoon was used for smoking, and the entire imperial study was on fire, and smoke kept drifting out.

If it weren't for the quick reaction of the prince and the timely exit to stop the little eunuch who was fighting the fire, I am afraid that the entire imperial study would not have been poured inside and out.

Reaching into the jade box again, he touched it for a long time but didn't touch the familiar cylinder, Tang Yu frowned, and looked down to see that the box of cigarettes that was originally full was empty at this time.

Suddenly, I felt that the surroundings were dim, and I looked up at the window, and I saw that it was a thin day, and there was only a little afterglow of the sun left between heaven and earth.

"Wang Daban? Wang Daban? ”

The prince came over in response.

"What does the emperor command?"

Tang Yu opened his mouth, and just wanted to say that he would bring me some more cigarettes, but when he thought that he had smoked all afternoon, he really felt a little faint, so he changed his words and said, "This cigarette ...... Did that kid really find out? ”

"The old slave didn't dare to lie." The prince said respectfully.

Tang Yu's brows, which had already relaxed when he heard this, furrowed again, leaned back in the chair, and thought about the feeling of fascination just now

Tang Jin's face suddenly showed a self-deprecating smile.

"This thing...... It's amazing. ”

The prince didn't speak, hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, there is something that the old slave has not explained. This cigarette has a certain addictive nature, and smoking too much will lead to dependence; In addition, it has a certain toxicity, but it is not very toxic, and it can be worry-free with the physique of His Majesty's top masters, but it is still not suitable for excessive smoking. ”

Tang Yu leaned on the back of the chair and waved his hand casually, "Don't worry, it's just the first time I've experienced this feeling of being physically and mentally sent, and I'm just a little addicted for a while." It's only been an afternoon, but I feel like I've been resting for half a year, my body is comfortable, my brain is more comfortable, I haven't felt like this for a long time......"

"This thing does have the effect of relaxing the body and mind, it is said that after the front-line soldiers used this cigarette, the wine money was saved, and the military expenditure in the Western Regions was reduced by a large margin." The prince admitted.

Tang Yu nodded, he knew what this wine money meant, and it was naturally not really the money to buy wine for the soldiers, but the money to hire prostitutes in Qinglou every month to let the soldiers relax, and the wine money was just a nice name.

"Indeed, compared to this cigarette, the things of men and women are really a bit boring......"

After muttering to himself for a long time, Tang Yu suddenly thought of something, and a spirit sat up.

"If this cigarette becomes an indispensable military asset for the Tang army in the future, doesn't it mean that he, Tang Jin, can indirectly influence the entire Tang army? If this is the case, he is in charge of the Dali Temple and the Ordnance Division, and he is supported by the Tianlu Chamber of Commerce, which is rich and rivals, plus the support of the eldest brother......"

Thinking of this, Tang Yu didn't dare to think about it anymore. With such strength, if Tang Jin wants to rebel, wouldn't it be easy?

As for whether this kid has that heart...... Does it matter? Let's not mention that he is a deviant lord himself, even if he is a great loyal minister, but the emperor of that family dares to let his subordinates hold so much power?

"I didn't expect that this kid would grow to such ......an extent without paying attention" Tang Jin's growth speed was obviously beyond Tang Yu's imagination, obviously not long ago he had only one newly revived Dali Temple in his hands, but now he inexplicably has the power to directly overthrow his rule.

"Looks like you won't be able to do it without sharpening his wings......"
