In short, now the fairy brand cigarettes have become the same hard currency as silver, but also a symbol of status, only the nobles can afford to smoke the fairy brand cigarettes, perhaps Guo Zhiyuan feels that there is no psychological pressure to harm these people, so he took the high-end route at the beginning, and set the price of cigarettes very high, but it aroused the comparison psychology of the rich, and whether they smoke or not must bring a pack on their bodies to save face.

Guo Zhiyuan divided the cigarette business into three parts, he himself accounted for forty percent, and gave Leng Xian Ning three percent and Sun Chuan three percent, because he knew that such a lucrative business would definitely make people angry, with the background of the Leng family and Sun Chuan's force, others had to weigh it if they wanted to worry about it.

Facts have also proved that he is very wise to do this, there are many people who want to meddle in the fairy brand cigarette business, but as soon as they inquire about the business of the Leng family, they dare not move their minds, and there are also people who do not believe in evil and want to counterfeit fairy brand cigarettes, but not long after they came out, they were burned down by people even the workshop and shop, the scene was very clean, no clues were left, and it was not enough to report to the government in the end, but Guo Zhiyuan knew that it must have been done by Sun Chuan, and his subordinates were all ruthless people who had been born and died at sea, Don't be too skilled in killing people and setting fires, of course, when those real bigwigs realize the huge profits of the cigarette business, it will be difficult for Guo Zhiyuan to monopolize the cigarette business, but at least no one dares to come to grab the business in a short time.

The cigarette business has a large amount of silver every day, the cigarette factory has expanded the scale of production several times in a row, Guo Zhiyuan also made a three-shift work system, almost 24 hours a day non-stop production, but still in short supply, Sun Chuan is now counting the silver every day to count the cramps in his hands, smiling every day, Guo Zhiyuan is also more and more convinced, with financial security, the progress of road construction is also much faster, Guo Zhiyuan is expected to be able to pull through half of it in another month at most.

Zhang Cheng also came back from Changle, brought back 2,000 catties of sweet potatoes for seeding, and almost all the sweet potato seeds near Changle were collected, according to Zhang Cheng, the local people in Changle were not interested in planting sweet potatoes, and they couldn't afford to sell them, and even that Chen Zhenlong was denounced and put in a prison cell!

Guo Zhiyuan's heart moved when he heard it, this Chen Zhenlong can realize the huge role of sweet potatoes, it can be seen that the knowledge is also very extraordinary, if he can recruit a good talent, he hurriedly said to Zhang Cheng: "Zhang Cheng, please go to Changle again, bring more silver, you must find a way to rescue this Chen Zhenlong, if there is difficulty, you can go to Miss Leng, and think of a way through the relationship of the Leng family......"

Although Zhang Cheng didn't know why Guo Zhiyuan attached so much importance to this Chen Zhenlong, since Guo Zhiyuan confessed so solemnly, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "The villain will go to Changle again tomorrow, and he will definitely live up to the trust of adults!" Guo Zhiyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have also worked hard, go and rest first!" ……”

After Zhang Cheng left, Guo Zhiyuan immediately sent someone to find Xu Guangqi, pointed to a cart full of sweet potato seeds and smiled at Xu Guangqi: "Sir, that day I told my husband that there was a solution to the shortage of grain in Gutian, and this solution is all in this carriage!" ”

Xu Guangqi saw sweet potatoes for the first time, naturally he didn't know that this was a crop he vigorously promoted in the original time and space, picked up a sweet potato and looked at it carefully, broke a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it, and said with some suspicion: "This seems to be the rhizome of a certain plant, which can be used as a staple food?" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan nodded and said with a smile: "The name of this thing is sweet potato, it is produced in Barbarian Yizhou, this thing is drought-resistant, very easy to take care of, suitable for planting in the barren mountainous area of Gutian, can be eaten raw, can also be barbecued, steamed and cooked before eating......"

Xu Guangqi's eyes lit up, and he asked, "I don't know how many stones the production capacity of this thing is per mu?" ……”

"At least ten stones, if it is planted properly, it may not necessarily be ...... if it can yield more than twenty stones per mu."

"Ten stones?!" Xu Guangqi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he grabbed Guo Zhiyuan's hand tightly, and said in ecstasy: "Is this true? If you can produce ten stones per mu, this thing is really the blessing of the whole country of my Ming Dynasty! It can live countless people, and the merits are immeasurable! ......", but he was also a thoughtful person, so he reacted immediately and asked the key to the matter: "No, Gongzi, since there is such a divine object, why have I never heard of it before, and why hasn't the imperial court vigorously promoted it?" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This sweet potato is easy to eat too much flatulence and pantothenic acid, so the people are reluctant to plant, the world is short-sighted, at this time, the wind and rain are smooth, and the natural food and clothing are not worried, but in the year of natural disasters, it is too late to plant sweet potatoes, so I plan to take my Gutian as a pilot, summarize the experience of planting sweet potatoes, and then suggest to the imperial court to vigorously promote the planting ......"

Xu Guangqi clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Childe's words are very good!" Please hand over this matter to the son, and he will definitely live up to the trust of the son, sum up the experience of sweet potato planting, and benefit the people of the world! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan was waiting for Xu Guangqi's words, he had already made preparations in advance, let Chen Xiaodong's Tuntian Army and Zixin Army reclaim the nearby mountains, and prepare to try to plant sweet potatoes, and wait for the sweet potato seedlings to come out and then promote them in the county, and hurriedly said: "So there is Mr. Lao, Mr. can hand over all the other chores to Baidu, and specialize in this matter......", and then he told Xu Guangqi some precautions about planting sweet potatoes in his memory, Xu Guangqi couldn't wait and went to prepare for planting sweet potatoes in a hurry.

With Xu Guangqi, a pioneer in promoting sweet potato planting, Guo Zhiyuan unloaded a big matter, but soon someone blocked him, because the new Gutian master was about to take office, and Guo Zhiyuan was going to take Wang Demin when he came back from Fuzhou.

As soon as Wang Demin died, Guo Zhiyuan knew that Huang Yihua would definitely not be reconciled, and he would definitely send someone to oppose him again, so he knew the news that the new Gutian master was going to take office as soon as possible, the new Gutian master was called Liu Qidong, and he was also Huang Bihua's confidant.

This Master Liu is much smarter than Wang Demin, his posture is very low, and he behaves very respectfully in front of Guo Zhiyuan, but the more he is like this, Guo Zhiyuan is more vigilant, as the so-called biting dog does not bark, this kind of person is more terrible than a fool like Wang Demin who only knows the situation, but Guo Zhiyuan has too many facts to worry about now, how can he always be on guard against him, he can only let Bai Du stare at this Liu Qidong more, and at the same time hand over the most onerous registration of the homeless household registration to him. In this way, this guy should not have the energy to add to the blockage himself!
