Looking at Cao Dazhong's serious expression, Yang Feng smiled and waved his hand, "Relax, don't be so nervous." ”

The corners of Cao Dazhong's mouth showed an expression that was more ugly than crying, the master in front of him was no longer the Bai Ding who could only get into the officialdom by bribing him six years ago, and now Yang Feng has grown into an existence that even he has to look up to, now you put on such a formal expression, if I am not nervous, it will be hell.

Seeing that Cao Dazhong still looked nervous, Yang Feng smiled and took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and gave him one, "Come on...... Smoke a cigarette and relax. ”

Cao Dazhong took the cigarette and looked at it, and his eyes immediately showed surprise that he couldn't hide, "Yo...... Yellow Crane Tower, this is a good thing. ”

With the expansion of the power of the Ming Royal Commercial House in the Ming Dynasty, the Yang officials, who did not stop doing two things, simply got the cigarettes.

Tobacco was introduced to China as early as the Wanli period, and it has been more than 60 years.

By the time Yang Feng came to the Ming Dynasty, tobacco had spread to all levels of society, whether it was a dignitary or an ordinary person, they would take a sip when they were idle.

There are two main ways for people to smoke tobacco, one is dry tobacco, and the other is snuff, the former is mainly a way for civilians to smoke, and the latter is popular in the upper class, as for cigarettes, this kind of thing will not appear in China until another three hundred years.

After Yang Feng arrived, he naturally noticed this huge market, so he didn't do anything, and simply customized a batch of cigarette machines from modern society, and planted and purchased tobacco leaves to make cigarettes for sale.

This kind of cigarette from more than 300 years later once introduced into the market, it quickly occupied half of the Daming tobacco market, and in just a few years, it swept the entire Daming market.

Yang Feng, a profiteer, also specially divided the cigarettes into several grades, such as those without filters, a box is only five yuan, and the most expensive ones are only more than ten yuan, ordinary people can afford to smoke them, and those with filters are different, the cheapest ones cost one penny of silver, and the expensive ones even cost one or two silver.

What, you're too expensive, you're too expensive, you can smoke a pack of "economical" cigarettes with those mud legs, these ones with filters are for the rich.

Of course, the best things are generally not available on the market, for example, the Yellow Crane Tower that Yang Feng took out was obtained from modern society, both in taste and packaging is also the best, generally speaking, in addition to paying tribute to Zhu Youxiao, the big boss, only keep it for himself, occasionally one or two boxes will immediately cause a robbery, according to the grapevine, the Yellow Crane Tower, which occasionally flows out, is even sold for a high price of two hundred taels of silver a box.

Don't look at Cao Dazhong, as the palm print governor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, he only smokes a box of cigarettes for one or two silver on weekdays, which is already the highest level of cigarettes that can be bought on the market, and he can only look at high-end goods like the Yellow Crane Tower, which only Yang Feng and Zhu Youxiao have, and he can only look at it and drool.

I saw him skillfully put the cigarette into his mouth, took out the lighter and lit it, took a deep breath, and showed an intoxicated look on his face, "It is worthy of a tribute, the entrance is soft and not pungent, there is a faint fragrance, it is indeed a good smoke." ”

Looking at Cao Dazhong's skillful movements, Yang Feng smiled, this is definitely an old smoker.

He walked over to the bedside, took out a yellow crane tower from a pocket and handed it to him, "If you like it, take it and smoke it." ”

As soon as Cao Dazhong saw the cigarette in Yang Feng's hand, his eyes couldn't move away, "Yo, how embarrassing is this, it's too much for you to break the bank." ”

Although he said this in his mouth, he was not satisfied with the movement of his hand, and immediately took the cigarette, and he didn't know how he hid it, and such a cigarette soon disappeared.

Tobacco and alcohol are really the most effective way to get closer to people, and after putting away the cigarette, Cao Dazhong's eyes looked at Yang Feng much kinder.

He smiled and said: "Grandpa Guo, it's not that our family is talkative, the recent period of impeachment of your excerpts in the court is almost about to flood Your Majesty's Imperial Study, I heard that the people in the Imperial Study have to set aside a room to accommodate those who impeached you, for you, Your Majesty has taken down no less than fifty or sixty people, and now there are even people in the capital shouting the slogan of killing the national thief, you better be careful." ”

Yang Feng smiled contemptuously, "As the saying goes, Xiucai can't rebel for ten years." These gangs of Zidonglin Party and Jiangnan gentry let them talk or play some conspiracy, and they are all masters, but if they really want to get the real thing, they are still far behind.

Ten of them won't move me, but there are some things that have to be guarded against. Although Your Majesty has transferred the Beijing camp to the capital, I think that the strength of the capital is still not enough, since Gonggong Cao is here, I will bother you to tell Your Majesty that those troops in Liaodong have been in Liaodong for a long time, and it is time for them to move. ”

"Shhh...... Grandpa Guo, what are you? Cao Dazhong immediately understood, and couldn't help but gasp.

"Yes, since the Manchu Tartars have been leveled, there is no need for the imperial court to spend a huge amount of money to raise such a huge army in Liaodong, and now that the rogues are wreaking havoc in the pass, it is time to use them."

"Transfer the Liaodong Army into the customs?"

Cao Dazhong immediately asked without thinking: "Grandpa Guo, now that you are in the south of the Yangtze River in the Guannei, Lu Xiangsheng is suppressing bandits in Shaanxi, and the number of troops is enough, if the Liaodong Army is transferred into the Guannei again, those Mongols in North Korea and the steppe will have no one to guard again." ”

Yang Feng glanced at him appreciatively, it seems that this is not a straw bag who only knows how to rely on the patter to get in the position, and he still has some insights into the current situation. But come to think of it, if he was really a straw bag, Zhu Youxiao would not put him in such an important position as the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

He shook his head and smiled: "Who said that Liaodong has no troops, isn't it okay to transfer Lu Xiangsheng's new army to Liaodong?" ”

Cao Dazhong shook his head again and again: "It's not proper, most of Lu Xiangsheng's new army are from Zhili, how can the soldiers be willing to go to Liaodong in the ice and snow, maybe it's going to make trouble?" ”

"You're not wrong to say that." Yang Feng patiently explained: "Lu Xiangsheng's new army and new army are indeed mostly from Zhili, and there must be many people who are not willing to go to Liaodong, but we can say in advance that we will only go for two years, and they will be rotated after two years, so that the problem will be solved?"

I believe that two years is enough time to solve many problems. ”

"Tut-tut......"

Cao Dazhong gave Yang Feng a thumbs up, "High...... It's really high, Grandpa Guo, you are this. ”

Although the current Liaodong Army has not yet grown into a warlord who listens to tunes and does not listen to propaganda like Chongzhen in the last years of another time and space, under the policy of "Liao people defend Liaotu", Liaodong has now shown this trend, and the imperial court is not no one who proposed to split the Liaodong Army, but every time it has been closed for various reasons.
