"Thank you, county honor, after the junior enters the college, he will definitely repair a letter and send it to his brother, saying that the county will take care of him in many ways, persuade him to make friends with Lantian more, and ensure the interests of Lantian as much as possible in Yunnan."

Mu Tianliu arched his hand and said to Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng looked at Mu Tianliu and said with a smile: "Then thank you, okay, I still have a few words to say with Jiaping, you wait a little in the living room, and when we are done, let Jiaping accompany you to the academy." ”

"This, okay, then the county will have a period in the future."

Mu Tianliu gave up his hand again, followed by pushing the door out, his own soldiers took him to the living room to sit, watching Mu Tianliu go out, Wang Jiaping said: "This Mu Tianliu is good at everything, it is in this Mu Wangfu that he has developed a character that is above the top, even if he talks to the county honor, it is ......."

Li Chaosheng waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the academy will teach him how to behave, now after the academy is attacked, he can hold on for a while longer, hahaha......"

Wang Jiaping heard this and said: "The county is true, the current group of students is much better than I was at that time, yesterday I went to their canteen, and found that they had eggs and braised pork for dinner, which was a good thing that we could only eat on holidays back then." ”

Li Chaosheng also sighed when he heard this: "Yes, compared with the current conditions, it is really too much progress, but now the students' ability to endure hardships is too much worse than you were back then, and there is no way, when you were studying, it was all poor and white in the family, as long as you don't go back to study, you have to continue to farm, and live a life like an old cow from generation to generation, so you work extra hard." ”

"But now the parents of students, some of whom are doing business, and some of whom have made a fortune at home, are the icing on the cake when they come to the college one by one, so there is less fighting energy, and it looks natural and soft, and there is less momentum."

Li Chaosheng said, Wang Jiaping nodded in agreement and followed suit: "By the way, County Zun, I also brought you a gift when I came back this time." ”

"Oh?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Wang Jiaping and was quite curious about what he could bring to himself, what are the characteristics of Yunnan now, flower cakes?

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Li Chaosheng thought about it, and Wang Jiaping said, "Please take a look at the county." ”

Saying that, Wang Jiaping took a wooden box from behind him, opened the wooden box, and inside was the tobacco leaves that had been crushed, Li Chaosheng's eyes lit up and said, "Tobacco leaves? ”

Wang Jiaping said: "We just planted it this year, the county respects you, you see the color, this toughness, are all first-class goods, this Yunnan is really as the county respects what you said, growing food or something is not fast, but planting this tobacco is definitely the best." ”

When Li Chaosheng heard this, he took out a cigarette pouch and pot in the wooden box, and said to Gu Zi with a smile: "Decorate it for me, let me taste it." ”

Gu Zi hesitated when he heard this, but he still obeyed Li Chaosheng, pretended a little for Li Chaosheng, and then lit it.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Li Chaosheng took a sip and coughed, this is really strong, it may be that he can't smoke, so he choked on the first sip, waved his hand, and asked Gu Zi to take the pipe away, Li Chaosheng said: "I'm not used to smoking, I'm not used to smoking, but the sales of this thing are still not worried." ”

Tobacco is a new species, and its introduction to China should be in the Wanli period, which was originally a niche thing, but the addictive nature of this thing makes this thing have an excellent market among the people.

When Li Chaosheng discovered the tobacco leaves, it was not long after the grain was enough to eat in Lantian at that time, and the reform of Lantian farmland encouraged the people to plant some cash crops after leaving enough ration fields to sell them to subsidize their families.

It was at this time that a major incident occurred in Languan Town, that is, Zhao, a large grain grower in Languan Town, planted all the 100 acres of land he contracted into tobacco leaves, and made a fortune selling tobacco in the second year, and then began to contract more land to prepare for planting tobacco leaves, and other places saw Zhao Moufa like this, and immediately prepared to abandon the farmland and plant tobacco instead.

This incident was later reported to the local governor by the local people, and as soon as the governors heard the news, they immediately felt that this matter was not an ordinary trivial matter, according to this expansion rate, I am afraid that Lantian will soon have no other cash crops, and there will be only this tobacco leaf left.

This matter was quickly sent to Li Chaosheng's table, Li Chaosheng knew at a glance that the matter was serious, tobacco must not be controlled by the people, this is a profiteering and easy to harm things, you must know that even in later generations, tobacco is also a state monopoly, and tobacco can bring trillions of income to the country every year, and this money can be used as part of the national tax revenue.

There is a famous saying in later generations, if you don't suck, I don't suck, who will build an airplane for my family.

Now that the people of Lantian have become rich, at this time, if they rashly increase the tax burden, they will definitely be resisted, so they can harvest it in another way, such as tobacco.

Tobacco is harmful to the human body, but it is not as big as imagined, after all, the people who do not leave the tobacco and alcohol in later generations are no longer a few who live to ninety-one hundred, and some people who soak wolfberries in a thermos cup every day, and there are no longer a few people who hang up in their forties, so this thing can be used.

But this thing must be controlled by the government, and absolutely not affect Lantian's agriculture, to understand this, Li Chaosheng immediately convened the first tobacco conference in Lantian, at the conference, Li Chaosheng pointed out several points, the first is to prohibit the private to plant tobacco in any form, for this incident Zhao someone, to give an administrative warning and economic punishment.

It must be guaranteed that there is no piece of land planted with tobacco on the land of Lantian Field, and if it has to be planted, it must also have the approval of the government to plant it, and the location of this planting must not affect agriculture and affect the grain output of Lantian Field.

Second, tobacco should be planted by the government, and the planting place Li Chaosheng suggested that it should be in Yunnan, and the reason is very simple, these places in Guizhou are about to be subdued by Lantian and will be included in Lantian immediately, so it is not suitable to grow tobacco here.

Henan, Shanxi, and Hubei are all places where Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong want cholera in the future.

Sichuan, not to mention whether Qin Liangyu, the legendary female general, will agree to Lantian's claws to reach into Sichuan's territory, even if Qin Liangyu agrees, Li Chaosheng is not willing to go, Zhang Xianzhong is really an old bachelor in Sichuan Seeing the big girl, his gluttonous saliva is flowing all over the ground, and it is definitely inappropriate for him to plant in Sichuan at this time.

So think about it, Yunnan is a very good place, the first place is far away from the Central Plains, and maintain a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, belongs to the war in a short period of time can not affect the place, and the land in Yunnan, in addition to growing tobacco leaves, growing food is not very long, I went to Yunnan to grow tobacco, after becoming a scale, I ruled Yunnan in the future, and it also provided a stable financial income for Yunnan.

Third, after the success of tobacco planting, Lantian will also set up a tobacco processing factory to make cigarettes, which will be exported to the Jiangnan region in the future, where the salt merchants, grain merchants, and cloth merchants are all rich and rival the country, and it is also very good to give them a little hobby.

Li Chaosheng still likes to take a look at the pigs of those rich and elephant-like Jiangnan merchants.

And Wang Jiaping is one of the managers of the future Tobacco Bureau proposed by Li Chaosheng, and Wang Jiaping went to Yunnan to negotiate with the Yunnan forces this time, just to let him go through this road, so that Lantian's tobacco industry can go further in the future.

Wang Jiaping also knew his responsibility, so the first thing he did when he came back was to show Li Chaosheng the results of his work this year.

"County Zun, such tobacco, we have planted more than 1,000 acres in Yunnan, and now we are in contact with Muwangfu, and our tobacco plantation can be expanded to 3,000 acres in the coming year, and the demand of our entire Lantian can be guaranteed at that time."

Li Chaosheng nodded when he heard this: "Tobacco is a good thing, but also a bad thing, harmful to health, but it can help people reduce pressure, and even reduce pain at critical moments, front-line soldiers should have a demand for this thing, especially soldiers who are going to the battlefield, there is a greater demand for cigarettes, but we can't encourage everyone to smoke, after all, this is a behavior that is harmful to our body." ”

Li Chaosheng said and looked at Wang Jiaping and said: "So after your cigarette factory starts, I ask you to write on every cigarette box that smoking is harmful to health, and remind smokers not to go too far." ”

"Yes."

Wang Jiaping nodded, Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said: "But don't write these useless slogans for those who sell to the local tyrants in Jiangnan, and their packaging boxes must be gorgeous, and the names of the cigarettes must also show their identity, so that they feel that smoking is a noble thing that only they can enjoy, so that we can sell this tobacco at an unreasonable price, understand?" ”

Wang Jiaping grinned when he heard this: "Have you forgotten that before I studied politics, I studied economics. ”

Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "Well, the son can be taught, hahaha......"

Li Chaosheng smiled happily, followed by Wang Jiaping and suddenly said mysteriously: "County Zun, I still have something to tell the County Zun when I go to Yunnan." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Wang Jiaping sighed and said: "I found a very inconspicuous flower in Yunnan, called Dancing Grass, it is said that with this flower, people will hallucinate, dancing, hence the name, I out of curiosity, investigated this flower, and later found that this flower has a strong addiction, many local people use this flower, skinny, I think this thing is good to use, I am afraid that the profit is greater than that of tobacco." ”

Wang Jiaping said, took out a withered flower from a small box he carried, but looked very beautiful, Li Chaosheng looked at the flowers in the box, frowned slightly, and then picked up the mobile phone and secretly checked it, and the next moment Li Chaosheng's face immediately became ugly.

"Well, I know, but Wang Jiaping, this dancing grass is not allowed to be planted on a large scale, and it is not allowed to be introduced into the Lantian folk, before you go to Yunnan next time, I will ask the medical school to send medical students to take samples, this thing is too harmful, and it will be specially planted for the medical school in the future for medicinal purposes, as for the local kind of thing, even eradicate it when you see it."

"Yes."

Wang Jiaping said in response, Li Chaosheng also had sweat on his forehead when he heard this, this dancing grass is a real disaster for the country and the people, but it can't be popular among the people, you must know that the conspiracy in the West almost turned the Chinese people into the sick man of East Asia.

Li Chaosheng will never forget the humiliating 100-year history.

Li Chaosheng chatted with Wang Jiaping for a while, then let Wang Jiaping leave, looking at Wang Jiaping's distant back, Gu Zi looked at the withered flower left by Wang Jiaping and said: "County Zun, is this thing really so terrible?" ”

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Terrible, very terrible, remember, no matter when, we can't let this thing flood in Lantian, whoever dares to resell this kind of thing in the future, no matter who it is, will not tolerate it if they see one and kill the other." ”

"Yes."

Gu Zi saw that Li Chaosheng was so serious and did not dare to disobey Li Chaosheng's order, so he immediately responded.

Li Chaosheng waved his hand when he heard this: "Take it." ”

After saying this, Li Chaosheng stretched, looked at Gu Zi and said, "Has Lu Xiang risen to Lantian?" ”

"It's over."

Li Chaosheng said: "Well, then I'm not in a hurry, I guess I'll be able to see him tomorrow, by the way, besides Lu Xiangsheng, who else do I need to see these days?" ”

Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng and said: "Well, that's the case, the top ten advanced people in Lantian this year have been evaluated, and then the county honorable you will take the time to meet one by one, and the people of Lantian are paying attention to this matter." ”

"Oh, this should be a meeting, who are they?"

"These include representatives of workers, farmers, culture, business, artisans, science and technology, grassroots government officials, and doctors."

Gu Zi said to Li Chaosheng, and Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Well, all walks of life have been taken care of, but farmers and workers still need to be taken care of." ”

When Gu Zi heard this, he said: "Well, this time the selection of farmers and workers, each of them has two successful selections. ”

"Oh, two?"

Li Chaosheng asked curiously, Gu Zi listened to this and said: "Yes, the peasants rated two households, one is a large grain grower, this year contracted 20,000 acres of land in Lantian to carry out grain planting, and actively improve the planting technology, increased grain production, this year for Lantian to pay an extra 10,000 quintals of taxes, and solved a big local employment problem, and this person has a good reputation, the folk reputation is very high, the people are willing to help whoever has difficulties, is a famous good man in ten miles and eight villages, So this year this advanced gave him one. ”

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Well, it should be, people like this should be encouraged, right, the other one?" ”

Listening to Li Chaosheng's words, Gu Zi said: "The other is a rural woman, she began to be widowed at the age of twenty, pulling a daughter to live, and then our Lantian began to recruit female students, she smashed the pot and sold iron to send her daughter to the academy to study, you must know that in such an era, she can ruthlessly let her daughter study, how enlightened the mother, and her daughter is also angry, she became the technical core of Song Yingxing's team at a young age, and in the research and development process of our Lantian train, she solved the most critical problem of air tightness, It stands to reason that she should be awarded to an advanced individual in science and technology, but this year's opponent who competed with her was He Bing, who developed penicillin, so she was defeated, and finally our organizing committee decided to award the award to his mother, which was not only an affirmation of her mother, but also an encouragement to her. ”

Li Chaosheng nodded when he heard this: "Well, it's a good job." ”
