Talking about business, Jia Liu naturally wants to smoke cigarettes.

If the smell of smoke is not pervasive enough, it means that there is not enough friendship, not enough attention, and not enough care.

Most of the banner people smoked, especially the Manchurians smoked the most, whether it was Emperor Taizong or the regent, it was a famous big smoking gun.

So much so that the Korean envoy in Yanjing specially reported to the country, demanding that the amount of tobacco in the tribute to Yanjing be increased.

When the former Ming and the Qing Dynasty were at war, the first criterion for checking first-class prisoners was to open their mouths and look at their teeth.

Whoever has yellow teeth will be truly full, but not vice versa.

The Mongols on the steppe are good for tea, and Manchuria in Liaodong is good for tobacco.

Over the past 100 years, Qiren has become a major customer group in the tobacco industry.

Of course, this also lays the foundation for them to further become loyal users of Fleur.

Daoguang's wife and uncles are Furong's super VIP.

Lin Zexu's biggest obstacle to banning smoking came from the royal family of Beijing.

However, the thing of A Furong was available as early as the Song Dynasty, and the Nanyang Domain often paid tribute to Ouchi in the former Ming Dynasty, which was mostly used for pharmaceutical alchemy.

During the Chongzhen period, the Ming Dynasty launched a nationwide anti-smoking campaign.

The reason is that some officials have discovered that some unscrupulous businessmen have secretly added Ah Furong to tobacco and make people addicted.

However, the Ming Dynasty died within a few years, and the smoking ban was no longer a problem.

Why Jia Liu is so keen on running industry, engaging in trade, and engaging in the navy in Zhili does not mean to launch the Afurong War in reverse.

Of course, he himself is a non-smoker, but not smoking does not mean that he is against smoking, and sometimes he encounters a tricky matter, or hesitates to the crossroads of the fate of his family and country, and he will smoke a few strokes.

There are a few big people who don't smoke.

So, a small iron box came out of Jia Liu's pocket.

In the surprised gaze of Ah Shenling, the Governor gently opened the small iron box, and handed a white cigarette roll about the length of his index finger to the other party cordially, and said with a smile: "Try my cigarettes, made of tobacco leaves in Guizhou, the taste is good, and it doesn't choke people when you smoke." ”

I didn't forget to add, "A friend sent it." ”

"Cigarettes?"

Flattered, Counsellor hurriedly took the cigarette from the Governor, his eyes full of curiosity, for he had never seen a cigarette rolled into paper to smoke.

It's really an eye-opener for the knife to be in the ass today.

When he was stunned, a flash of fire lit up in front of his eyes, and it was the Governor himself who lit it for him with a fire breaker.

This is not flattered, but the kind of grace of heaven.

The faint flame, like a little girl in a fairy tale, brought steak and roast duck to Amida, brought a new direction in life, and opened a door that he had never opened.

Behind the door, there are mountains of gold and silver, as well as countless crowns and dazzling eyes, plus yellow coats everywhere.

It's glory and wealth, and there is a big one!

"Smoke and see,"

With the encouragement of the Governor, Amida took a deep puff of her cigarette, and with a "smack", the cigarette burned a third of the way at a visible rate.

"Whew!"

The rich smell of smoke fascinated Amida, as if the whole person shivered, very comfortable.

Looking at the satisfaction on Amida's face, Jia Liu was also very happy because his saliva was not wasted.

The level of licking is getting higher and higher, too.

The story begins with cigarettes.

The Governor talked about the fact that cigarettes could be smoked without being in a pot, and he brought out the guidelines for emancipating the mind and boldly reforming.

Final point.

Is it possible to give full play to the advantages of closing the gate, convert the treasures outside the gate into legal income, increase the income of the soldiers stationed at the gate and their families, and at the same time generate income for the financial department of the direct li?

"This?."

Amida fell into deep contemplation, and the Governor's bold and innovative ideas aroused his budding heart.

You must know that Shanhaiguan, as the southwesternmost point of the "wicker side", is equivalent to the national gate, guarding this national gate, the Han people can't get through, so that the closure of the door in addition to the collection of those business licenses hanging on the internal affairs of the caravan tariffs, and get the side gate to sign the ticket hawkers some benefits, in fact, there is no oil and water.

However, according to the Governor-General's vision, we must rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, make bold innovations, and change the previous "blocking" to a "sparse" with guidance and control, so that we will not be able to obtain huge benefits that we could not have imagined in the past.

For example, those Han people who want to make a living outside the Guan, one person charges him ten yuan, and then asks them to set up settlements in the designated area, and the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners along the border collect all kinds of taxes, and even buy furs, ginseng, and dongzhu from these Han people at a low price and transport them to Guanli at a high price.

You can also let the poor people who go out of the customs farm the land and collect their rents.

In short, isn't it better to let the Han people earn money for the banner people than to kill them?

It can also solve the problem of more people and less land in the Zhili area, ease social security, and improve the living standards of the people, no matter how you look at it, it is a good government.

The problem is that such a big matter is not something that he can handle with one counselor, and it also involves the big and small yamen outside the customs.

What's more, the reason why the imperial court set up wicker sides was to prevent the Han people from leaving the customs.

The national policy is here, how dare you innovate and adapt at will.

The term wicker edge, Jia Liu had heard of it in his previous life, this side is not the Great Wall, but the Qing court's demarcation line between inside and outside the Guan, and part of it was built on the basis of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.

This side is built in two phases, the first phase of the wicker side is called "the old side", Taizong Chongde began to repair during the years, to Shunzhi 18 years to build.

From Kaiyuan Weiyuan Fort in the north, to Fengcheng in the south, all the way to Shanhaiguan in the southwest, and to the sea in the southeast, the western and southern Liaoning, including the entire Liaohe Plain, with a total length of nearly 4,000 miles.

The second phase of the wicker side is called "the new side", Kangxi nine years by the general Ningguta presided over the construction, this side from the Kaiyuan Weiyuan Fort to the northeast, until the Songhua River, the total length of more than 1,000 miles.

According to Amida, there are 16 old side gates and 4 new side gates on the wicker side, which are controlled by the eight banners stationed in various places.

Those who enter and exit the border gate must hold a stamp issued by the local government office, which indicates the name, age and face of the bearer, and can only enter and exit after verification and approval.

Shanhaiguan as the southernmost point of the wicker side, is also the first gate of the boundary between the inside and outside the customs, in addition to the customs is responsible for the location, but also responsible for the Jinzhou region in western Liaoning dozens of large and small forts.

That is to say, even if Amidaken emancipated his mind, at most he would only dare to secretly let the Han people operate in western Liaoning, and further away in Guangning, southern Liaoning, Shengjing, Tieling, Ningguta, Jilin, Heilongjiang and other places, he said that it would not be counted at all.

"There is a first time for everything, you must be brave in innovation and bold in trying,"

Of course, Jia Liu knew what Amida's concerns were, smiled and handed the other party a cigarette, and touched his chin and beard.

"The national policy of the imperial court is that of the imperial court, which is a major policy and the main direction, and we must obey it locally. But there are also local difficulties, many things are done in full implementation of the spirit of the imperial court, it is easy to become stiff, just like those Han people who steal the customs, can it be said that these Han people are rebels, traitors, and people? In my opinion, it is just some poor people who can't live to find a way to survive, so is it too much to be captured and killed, and is it a kind of dogma to implement the national policy of the imperial court? ”

"Outside the customs is rich in products, let it be wasted, is it also a tyrannical thing?"

Amida was noncommittal about this, he was not a good person to kill in his heart, but he couldn't kill if he caught it, after all, the law prohibitions were there.

If the imperial court can be more lenient, it will not be strict because of the leniency below, and it will dismiss officials or something at every turn, and which of the people below will be willing to do that killing thing.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter for the imperial court.

Your court is not pressing, and the place is full of food and will cost people's lives.

"Under the premise of not violating the major national policy, it is completely possible to be flexible and flexible, as long as you grasp the scale, I don't think this matter is a big deal."

Jia Liu gave a reasonable solution, that is, the imperial court did not allow the Han people to leave the customs, but did not say that the Han army bannermen were not allowed to leave the customs, nor did it say that the Han people were not allowed to leave the customs, let alone that the official personnel of Zhili were not allowed to carry out necessary exploration outside the customs.

The jurisdiction of the governor of Zhili is not only Hebei, but also a large area of Inner Mongolia in later generations, and the northernmost point is bordering Horqin.

What does that mean?

That is, the governor of Zhili, Yamen, came forward to set up a visa office in Shanhaiguan, and anyone who is willing to go to the customs to make a living can get a Han army banner passport for only 50 yuan, and a coat passport for 30 yuan.

Such a legal identity naturally does not have the problem of violating the national policy.

Of course, those who are not willing to spend money to get passports to earn a living and work outside the customs can also sign a contract with the yamen as a team dispatched by the provincial government to the customs outside the customs.

There are policies and countermeasures.

The dignified governor works for the welfare of the people, does it still depend on the face of your court?

As far as your court is concerned, it is completely surrounded by the forces of the governor of my Zhili.

provoked Jia Liu, he could make the Jingshi piece of paper unable to fly out.

"This"

Amida's eyes told Jia Liu that it sounded feasible, but he was afraid that if someone exposed the report, this matter would be troublesome.

"How bold is man, how fruitful is the earth."

Jia Liu patted Amida on the shoulder, "This matter will be assigned to you by the Governor, and you can carry it out boldly." ”

After speaking, he told this counselor from Sanpin that he would write to the imperial court to request that the Shanhaiguan Counselor Yamen be promoted to the deputy capital Yamen.

It is to promote Amida to two levels, and directly serve as a second-rank member beyond the third rank.

This is to give officials and benefits, and to take all the responsibility on themselves, looking at the world, who else can be as bright as Jia Liu?

The road is pointed, if Amida refuses to do it, then Jia Liu can only come up with another one who is willing to do it.

Fortunately, Ah Deputy Dutong is not a mother-in-law's person, and the governor has confessed to him like this, if he is no longer interested, he may fall off his horse and die.

Respond happily, don't do anything to get promoted and get rich, it's not a fool.

Jia Liu was very happy, and chatted with Amida specifically, and as a result, Ah Liudu drew inferences from each other, and put forward several feasible suggestions based on his own work experience.

"You go back and get a specific charter and report to me, and this matter will be implemented by the end of next month at the latest."

After Jia Liu finished speaking, he suddenly took out a handful of silver tickets from his sleeve.

It's really a handful, I'm afraid there are thirty or forty of them.

It's all a thousand taels and one piece.

More than thirty or forty thousand taels.

"You can use this money to fix the yamen outside the gate, as well as the side gates along the border."

Jia Liu has just one meaning, he doesn't believe that there is no official in this world who can't be solved by money, and there is nothing that money can't solve.

As long as the big and small yamen outside the gate accept his money, then they will definitely have a share of the corresponding benefits of this matter.

If someone refuses to accept the money, then don't blame him, the governor of Zhili, for sending a military engineering team to talk to them.

Anyway, Ah Piao beside him has two divisions.

If you have a lot of debts, you don't have to worry about them, and you don't have to worry about ghosts.
