Chapter 1295: Father-in-law, please smoke
"On the orders of His Majesty?" Yang Feng said unhappily: "My father-in-law just came out of the palace, so don't frame me." ”
"Our family doesn't dare to deceive Grandpa Guo." Wei Zhongxian said with a smile, looking like a kind old man in the countryside, if his appearance is seen by people who are familiar with him, he will definitely be surprised, where is this ruthless, murderous nine thousand years old.
"Don't dare?"
Yang Feng's face was full of disbelief.
Seeing Yang Feng's expression, Wei Zhongxian felt depressed in his heart, thinking that since he became the father-in-law of Wei, except for the emperor, who saw him was not respectful, even the first assistant of the cabinet had to give him some face on the surface, and he never thought that as soon as he entered the door, this lord would not give him a good look, like a stingy rich man with a disgusted expression in the face of a poor relative who came to fight the autumn breeze.
If it were someone else, Wei Zhongxian would have let him know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye had, but when he faced Yang Feng, he had to swallow his anger and said: "Xin Guogong, if you don't believe in our family, you can ask Your Majesty another day to see if our family is lying!" ”
"Hahaha......"
Yang Feng laughed out loud and patted Wei Zhongxian's shoulder: "Father-in-law Wei is not strange, my father-in-law is just joking with you." Don't take it personally. ”
After speaking, he said with a straight face: "Okay, what is the matter, Grandpa Wei can say." ”
Wei Zhongxian was about to speak, but he found that the atmosphere he had just made was gone, and he forgot most of the draft, he suddenly woke up, this guy was definitely intentional just now, he was trying to disrupt the rhythm of the conversation.
As soon as he thought of this, the center's heart immediately became vigilant, Yang Feng is too bad, and he is digging holes for people with every move.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian, who originally wanted to serve a nine-thousand-year-old shelf, no longer had that little bit of caution, and said very simply: "Your Majesty Shicai summoned our family to Kunning Palace, and Your Majesty told our family, let our family follow you in the next few days, if you have anything to tell our family to do, you can't let you do it yourself, do you understand?" ”
"I told you to do it." Yang Feng was immediately happy when he heard it, it seems that Comrade Xiao Zhu was afraid that he would get into trouble, so he specially shot Wei Zhongxian to shoot himself.
"Nine thousand years old, you are the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, the governor of Dongchang, you actually came to follow me and listen to my orders, if this is seen by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, this prince is full of mouth and can't tell, you are not helping me, but harming me."
"You think our family wants to." Wei Zhongxian felt how aggrieved he was, thinking that he was nine thousand years old, one person was above ten thousand people, and he actually had to listen to the orders of a prince, this was simply bullying, but when he thought of the silver that his own fleet had obtained from going back and forth to Dongying and Nanyang in the past two years, it seemed that this grievance was nothing.
"Grandpa Wei, since you're here, let's make a good total. This prince has not been in the DPRK for a long time, so some things are not very clear, I don't know what is the situation of the remnants of the Lin Party in the DPRK now? ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "Since beating Huang Liji and Gao Panlong, the Donglin Party has been much more low-key in the past two years, but with Qian Qianyi's comeback, these people have gradually moved closer to Qian Qianyi's surroundings, but this guy is low-key, and our family has avoided him many times when he wants to trouble him." ”
"The water is too cold, Qian Qianyi?" Yang Feng blurted out.
"The water is too cold?" Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Grandpa Guo, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Oh...... Nothing, just casual talk. Yang Feng waved his hand, Qian Qianyi's water is too cold This stalk has not yet come out, and he said it in advance now, Wei Zhongxian is naturally confused.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Yang Feng casually took out a box of Yellow Crane Tower from his pocket, flicked his finger at the bottom of the cigarette box, and a cigarette flew out of the cigarette box and was held in his mouth, and he habitually handed the cigarette box to Wei Zhongxian.
It wasn't until he handed over the cigarette case that he remembered that this Wei Gonggong was probably not a smoker, and he estimated that he was wrong, and he smiled and wanted to take it back, but he never thought that Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up, and he reached out and took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and then escaped from the lighter, and the flame was angry with a "pop", and after a long puff, he skillfully spit out a smoke ring, and then praised.
"It is worthy of being a good cigarette for His Majesty and Grandpa Guo, which is much better than those sold on the market." After speaking, Wei Zhongxian's mouth spat out another smoke ring.
Yang Feng was a little confused, and asked tentatively: "Grandpa Wei also smokes?" ”
Wei Zhongxian had an expression on his face: "How rare, our family now smokes a pack of cigarettes every day." Especially after the meal, the gods don't change it. ”
Looking at Wei Zhongxian, who was intoxicated, Yang Feng couldn't believe his eyes for a while, if he returned to modern society now and told those Ming history experts that our beloved Wei Gonggong not only looked amiable, but also a smoker, it is estimated that those experts would be scared silly.
I heard Wei Zhongxian sigh again: "But it's a pity, the best cigarettes that can be bought on the market today are Furong King, Yuxi, Huangshan and Diamond for ten taels of silver per pack, but this kind of Yellow Crane Tower is not in stock, and our family only occasionally rubs a few cigarettes at His Majesty's place, which is really not enjoyable." If some of them are sold, even if it is a box of fifty taels of silver, we will buy it. ”
"I ......"
Yang Feng was a little speechless, originally he was still worried that if people in the modern world knew that a box of twenty or thirty yuan of Hibiscus King was bought by him at a sky-high price of ten taels of silver a box in this time and space, would it make him unable to take care of himself, but now what is this person saying, he actually said that he would rather spend fifty taels of silver to buy the Yellow Crane Tower in his hand.
Father-in-law Wei, do you have any misunderstanding about silver?
Fifty taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of five to live for a year, and it is not impossible to save a little for two years, you are now willing to buy a box of cigarettes at this price?
Cigarettes were originally a profiteering industry, otherwise in the original modern society, the state would not have classified the tobacco industry as the same level as the national defense, petroleum, railway, salt and other industries, and it would never be open to the people.
The reason why the Daming Royal Commercial Bank can hand over four or five million taels of silver to Zhu Youxiao every year is because the Daming Royal Commercial Bank monopolizes almost all the tobacco industry in Daming, and almost all the cigarettes are produced by the Daming Royal Commercial Bank.
Of course, if you grow your own tobacco, no one cares if you make your own cigarettes and smoke them, but how can people who are used to cigarettes smoke those unprocessed, bitter and astringent tobacco leaves?
