Chapter 35: Xin Tang (Asking for Recommendation, Asking for Collection)
"This mouth is rising on other people's bodies, it's not that I want to suck and suck, can this still control people's mouths?"
"Isn't that the reason, after smoking for a few years, you can't enjoy it without smoking a cigarette or two!"
There are even more people who say yin and yang weirdly.
"This is in charge of heaven and earth, and it can also control people's shit and fart!"
In the midst of everyone's discussions, Tang Haoran sneered and took out a piece of paper, looked around at everyone and said.
"Haoran can't control the mouths of the people for the time being, but he can control you,"
Yes, I can't control the mouths of the common people, but it is enough to control you people, and I can control you, sneering, he read aloud again.
"The 7 branches of the three towns of the Fulin Pavilion took out an average of 367 taels of 4 yuan of tobacco from the tobacco mill last year, and the No. 4 Yushou Pavilion took an average of 367 taels of tobacco from the tobacco mill last year...... This is the day before yesterday from the tobacco shop copied from the account book, from today onwards, the land served by each number, not to exceed this amount, I don't know what you think? ”
After speaking, Tang Haoran smiled coldly and said, and then said resolutely.
"Haoran's ban on smoking this time is not for anything else, just to be able to sweep away the tobacco and poison of the pit people in Hubei, and to plan for the 30 million fathers and elders in Hubei, regardless of personal life and death, not to seek fame after death, but to do your best!"
After speaking, he stared at everyone present and sneered.
"If the gradual ban is not the case, then the official is afraid that the only way to make a decisive decision is to do it!"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Cui Dongqi's face changed, and he waved his hand at the others, signaling them not to say any more.
"My lord, here's something to ask!"
"The old man has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Tang Haoran made a gesture, meaning to let Cui Dongqi sit down and speak.
Cui Dongqi arched his hand, still standing there, and talked eloquently.
"Lao Yu knows that this smoking ban is a good thing, although we are doing a tobacco house business, but we also know that this tobacco poison is harmful to the people, even if we do not sell it for a penny according to the government's requirements, it is still inevitable that the people will smoke tobacco soil, and when the time comes, they can't buy it in the tobacco house, so they will naturally go to the tobacco stall to ask for it, and then it will not violate the original intention of adults to ban smoking......
Since then, after obtaining a special drug license, each tobacco shop has to buy finished cooked cigarettes from the Anti-Smoking Bureau! The quota and price of each hall are subject to the official decision, and the smoke house can get a profit of 10% of the selling price, and those who dare to sell illicit cigarettes will be punished by selling 1,000 times the price per month, and the license will be revoked......"
Everyone was stunned by Tang Haoran's words, he, what did he say, he could only buy cooked cigarettes from the Anti-Smoking Bureau, doesn't this mean that everyone can only live on the profits of the government in the future.
"My lord, isn't this the way to take away our lives? If that's the case, I'd better change the smoke house to a restaurant,"
"Presumptuous! Is this something that you can say and change! ”
Tang Haoran scolded the man angrily, and suddenly sat down again in silence.
Then he said to the people again.
"Today, everyone will speak openly and honestly, and Haoran will discuss with you a plan that satisfies you and me when he can, but since then, the purchase and sale of tobacco land will be under the exclusive management of the Anti-Smoking Bureau, and this matter is not negotiable."
At this time, another middle-aged smoker stood up and said.
"My lord, what Brother Li said is exactly what we are worried about. What we are worried about is not how much money we make less money, but that it will be the flood of illicit cigarettes in the future. Even adults want to ban smoking, isn't it a joke! Isn't that right? ”
"Not bad! We are afraid of delaying the non-smoking of adults! ”
Everyone present responded one after another, everyone can say beautiful things.
"Well said!"
Tang Haoran stood up and said,
"Since everyone is willing to do this, then Haoran will not worry about not being able to do this, and this illicit cigarette official will gradually ban it, so you can have no worries."
As soon as his words fell, someone below suddenly asked.
"But cigarette stalls and illicit cigarettes are all banned, I'm afraid that the quota of each museum will not be enough at that time, what will happen then?"
The man who stood up spoke to the crowd.
"As we all know, although this cigarette stall is small, there are thousands of them in the three towns, and the prostitution, brothels, and hotels also serve cigarettes, and these places sell two or three times more than us."
"Yes, what if the quota is not enough?"
All of a sudden, the sound of discussion was endless. And a few of the leaders of the tobacco restaurant simply didn't say anything, looking at Tang Haoran with a gloating attitude, as if they wanted to see how he solved the matter.
"Everyone, be quiet."
Tang Haoran said quietly and aloud.
"Listen to me."
The voice of everyone's discussion was a little quieter, and when they stood up, they also sat down at this time, with a smug expression, and chatted absentmindedly with the people around them, which made them not as nervous as before, this so-called anti-smoking bureau is in charge, to put it bluntly, it is a new method used by the government to get silver.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
Cui Dongqi stood up, raised his voice, looked at everyone and said.
"Let Lord Tang finish his words."
As soon as everyone saw Cui Dongqi speak, they suddenly became silent, and they all turned their eyes to Tang Haoran.
"Lord Tang...... Please! ”
Cui Dongqi hugged his fist at Tang Haoran, his face seemed calm, but there were a few waves in his heart, today he not only saw the risk from the smoking ban, but also saw the opportunity, the smoking ban bureau is in charge, it seems that the government is trying to get money, but in the same way, this is also an opportunity.
Just like what Lord Tang said before, the government can't control the mouths of the people, and the people want to suck, so what should the government do? Besides, how many cigarettes are sold in the tobacco house, how can the government find out, where is the real big head of the tobacco soil, no one knows better than him, as long as the government goes to the tobacco stall and drives the people in the tobacco stall to the tobacco house, at most it is to give the original piece of the hall to the government, as for the rest...... sneered, but Cui Dongqi's face was still full of sincerity.
"As a few people said, indeed, this quota is naturally very difficult to determine, both the loss of smokers and the impact of illicit cigarettes."
first returned the salute, and then Tang Haoran changed his words,
"But have you ever thought that if the government investigates and punishes the tobacco stalls, and your tobacco shop business is prosperous compared to the past, and if you ignore the spread of tobacco and poison because of some difficulties, and ignore the physical and mental health of our people, won't you give up eating because of choking?"
When everyone heard this, a few people couldn't help but think about it in their hearts, just like Cui Dongqi, just need to calm down and think about it for a while, you can realize that the interests behind this smoking ban are far from even comparable before the smoking ban.
You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, and now you have taken out the old amount, but if you can check the anti-smoking stalls, you will drive tens of thousands of smokers into the smoke house, aren't these illicit cigarettes? It is no wonder that those who sell smuggled salt are most afraid of the government to manage salt, and they are also afraid that they will not care, if they are allowed to sell by the people, how can they make huge profits!
Salt merchants, tobacco merchants, but only a word difference, if it is...... Just as everyone was thinking, Tang Haoran continued.
"I'm here today to make a package ticket with you."
Putting away his smile, Tang Haoran said solemnly.
"The government will absolutely spare no effort to check the smoking ban and illicit cigarettes, so as to ensure the success of the smoking ban, so that you will not be embarrassed by the official smoke, as short as half a year, as long as a year, and the smoke stalls in the three towns will be swept away. Do what you say and never lose your word. But I don't know what you ...... Can you trust me Tang? ”
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, but they didn't say a word, and the whole hall fell silent. And the one who had picked up the quota from everyone before turned his head to look at it, and when he saw that no one was silent, he stood up and shouted at everyone.
"All of you here, who can trust Lord Tang, please stand up!"
At this moment, Tang Haoran sat like a rock in the crowd, quietly watching the qiē that happened in the lobby, and at the same time sneered in his heart, the intention he sang today will definitely not be so cold, some people can't see it, some people can see it, these profit-seekers see it just right, first lead the snake out of the hole, and wait until the stalls of the anti-smoking bureau are completely spread out......
"Who can trust Lord Tang?"
The man had already shouted a third time, and just as he was about to lose his smug look, he heard a slightly hoarse voice in the lobby.
"I believe it!"
