Hong Tao is not worried about the life of the royal family at all, although the patents of whale oil, sugar, soap, rum, and matches have been handed over to the state, and even the shares in the global company have been handed over, they are still given for free, without taking a penny of patent fees. But can a dignified traverser be poorer than others? Making money is the most unproductive and boring thing, and you can come up with a bunch of ways to squat in the toilet and, without sharpening your head to fight with others.

Doing so would damage the majesty of the royal family, not to mention fighting with ordinary people, even doing the same business as others Hong Tao felt disgraced. How can you hold a lot of money comfortably and quietly, and others can't learn to leave, so that you are worthy of your emperor status.

In the past few years, Hong Tao has not let Bai Xiang grow tobacco, and he has never told others what this thing is. The small cigar rolling workshop of Baixiang has a very limited monthly output, and in addition to supplying it for its own smoking, it is basically given as a gift, and there is no income. Hong Tao didn't tell the truth to Bai Xiang, in order to satisfy this simple daughter-in-law of wealth, he transferred some money to Bai Xiang every month through Ciqi's wife, which was regarded as the proceeds from the sale of cigars, but he never sold a single cigarette.

The tobacco market needs to be cultivated over a relatively long period of time, and not everyone likes the taste of tobacco, and not everyone can afford to consume this artisanal tobacco. Hong Tao did not want to turn tobacco into an industrial product and let it sell everywhere like later generations. Although this thing is not too poisonous, it is not a good thing after all, and it can make people addicted. Therefore, when he taught Bai Xiang to make cigars, he set the time for the tobacco leaves to ferment very tightly. The selection criteria for tobacco leaves are also very high, and the remaining substandard tobacco is all thrown away as waste.

He intended to treat handmade cigars as a high-consumption product, with himself, the emperor, taking the lead. Let it slowly become popular on a small scale among the top and wealthy people in various countries, and then control the price through production. This will not only make them not too tired, but also make enough profits for their family.

As for whether cigar smoke can be accepted and addicted by more people as Hong Tao planned, Hong Tao is not worried at all. Again, humanity! Smoking seems to be a bad habit of people, but in fact, when analyzed at a deep level, it is the inevitability of human nature.

The state of the empire in the past did not allow for its own business and trading. Well, now the parliamentarians are blinded by lard and do not want to have a good life. It is necessary to engage in private ownership, so that the China Tobacco Company, which worships incense, can also be officially listed. Hong Tao has planned that as long as the parliament passes the government's proposal, he must get the business license of the No. 1 Imperial Private Company. The Emperor. Take the lead in championing the resolutions of the government and parliament. As in duty bound!

Private ownership is good, you can reasonably and legally seek benefits for yourself, and you used to have to hide it, for fear that the little goods in your stomach will be hollowed out, and you always want to leave something for the children. And as the emperor of the empire, it doesn't affect his family to be too rich. It's no problem now, but let's toss it hard, and it's just right for them to see. What is private ownership and what is a capitalist. If they don't suffer a little, these people won't know the pain.

As for who will take over the posts of Prime Minister and Minister of Defense. That's the matter of the council, anyway, I am not there, and these two departments are running as usual, and there is no need to even hand over work. Now Hong Tao wants to concentrate on his own tobacco field, and plant nothing else, and all the land in Huangzhuang is divided into three, one for tobacco, one for corn, and one for rice.

The reason why it is planted in this way is because tobacco eats the land, and if you grow tobacco continuously on a piece of land, not only will the yield decrease, but you will also get a lot of pests and diseases, because most of the diseases of tobacco are transmitted through the soil. Even in the United States and Central America, it was the rotation technique that was used to ensure yield and quality. It probably means that a piece of land is planted with tobacco in one year, soybeans or wheat in the second year, cotton or corn in the third year, and tobacco in the fourth year, so that the quality and yield of tobacco grown are relatively high.

Hong Tao doesn't have much research on this kind of technology, but since everyone plays like this, let's not be special, let's just follow the cat and the tiger. Soybeans are not suitable for cultivation in Jinhewan, so rice is used instead; Cotton and corn are available in Jinhewan, just choose one at will. In order to ensure that there is tobacco to be harvested every season, there is no need to wait for a batch of three years, so the land is divided into three.

"Today...... Well, don't talk nonsense, you won't understand if you talk too much. Needless to say, one person has a hoe, a few of you take them with you, let's do it! Early in the morning of the third day after his resignation, Hong Tao set off with the women's army at home, all the way to the east, and went directly to Huangzhuang.

Although these Persian dancers have changed into ordinary clothes and pants, they don't understand the language, and they can't do farm work, even if they are accompanied by a few Chinese dancers from Hong Tao's family, the tender hands and feet who have been trained in dance since childhood can't play with the rough hoe handle and the dirt under their feet, and only follow Hong Tao's ass and work hard to learn how to do it. They had already seen the emperor's strength and ferocity on the ship, not to mention the earth, even if they were allowed to mine, they would have to dig. Not only do you have to do it, but you also have to have a bright smile on your face, for fear that if you are a little unsatisfactory, you will be clicked by this murderous demon king.

In fact, Hong Tao can't farm, and he can't do it. This thing is a technical job, and it needs to be practiced for a long time. If the hoe is deep, it will hurt the roots of the corn; If you don't use force, you can't do it, and you can't get rid of the weeds. So he chose to go to the corn field to worship incense and only take tobacco as precious, as for how many corns Hong Taoyi spoiled, he didn't care at all. When the corn and cotton were ripe, they were not harvested by worshipping incense, but were given to slaves working in the mines. Whoever wants to take it away, the only condition is to dig up all the roots of the plant, then set it on fire, and bury the burned ashes in the ground again.

The Persian dancers didn't care so much about Hong Tao, and they had to pay back the seedlings of the old man Bayi's house? But they don't work and they don't work, they also have tricks, they simply throw the hoe aside, and lie on the ground with gloves and rub it with their hands. Anyway, it's just for weeding, and even pulling and pulling can be almost done. As for whether the weeds with too deep roots can be cleaned, then there is no rut, remember to prepare a small shovel when you come back, don't play with a hoe.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" As soon as Hong Tao had broken three corn trees, the shouts of Cixi came from the edge of the field. He and Wen Nan wore crisp military civilian clothes and briefcases, like two lawyers who helped a landlord come to force rent from a tenant.
