It is appropriate to hear that there are guests in Jinling, and it is said that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is different.

Since Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, Nanjing has lost its original pride and glory, but as the former capital of this empire, it still retains the majesty and grandeur of the country.

On the official road, three knights were hurrying to Nanjing, and a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old in the middle took out three things as thin as a pen and as long as a finger from his arms, one of which was held in his mouth in a very chic posture, and the other two were thrown to the left and right respectively.

The two of them also skillfully held the slender object in their mouths, and then the three of them took out the fire fold from their arms and lit the thing, and suddenly a burst of smoke emitting a strange fragrance spread, and a look of satisfaction suddenly appeared on the faces of the three people.

"My lord, this tobacco is infused with peppermint essential oil, I didn't expect it to have a different taste! It's more flavorful than dried tobacco! A man who looked like a guard on horseback to the left of the young man said with a puff of smoke ring.

"To do business, you have to bring forth the new, sell one of the old, and after a long time, the old customers will have no freshness, how can they make money?" The young man in the middle also exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile.

The young man who spoke was Yang Yingqian, and it had been two months since he arrived at Yongningwei.

I have to say that Yang Fu, the old housekeeper of the Yang Mansion, is a delayed business talent, and in just two months, he has already made the tobacco shop prosperous, and he has also taken the elegant name of Lingyan Pavilion.

I don't know if Li Shimin and his old man knew that the name of the high pavilion he painstakingly built to worship loyal ministers was used by Yang Yingqian to sell cigarettes, I don't know if he would be so angry that he would jump out of the emperor's mausoleum.

Tobacco has been sought after by everyone as soon as it came out, it seems that smokers are regardless of the era, during this time Lingyange's business is extremely hot, not only sold to Zhenhaiwei and Pinghaiwei around Yongningwei, and even Lingyange's tobacco began to appear in the market in large ports such as Quanzhou.

Yang Yingqian seized the opportunity and launched high-end products mint tobacco and baicao tobacco with peppermint essential oil and various precious medicinal powders, which were packaged in exquisite mahogany boxes, with a box of 30 sticks and a price of 20 taels of silver. made a lot of money in the circle of officials and gentry around Yongningwei again.

Of course, the big sales of tobacco are largely due to Cao Hongxian's influence in the surrounding prefectures and counties, if it were not for Cao Hongxian to actively contact the gentry of the surrounding prefectures and counties, only relying on Yang Yingqian's own shouting, it would not have been so smooth, after all, it is not the era of the information explosion in later generations, and it takes time for a new thing to appear and be accepted.

Cao Hongxian really kept his promise, and he didn't take a penny of the profits from the sale of tobacco, but let Yang Yingqian still stuff Cao Hongxian with two silver tickets of 1,000 taels, according to Yang Yingqian, Cao Hongxian can not do it, but he must give it.

In the end, Cao Hongxian could only smile and scold a few words and reluctantly accepted the silver ticket, and then Cao Hongxian told Yang Yingqian that his nephew Cao Run was doing business in Jinling, and he had some strength, and asked Yang Yingqian to go to Jinling to contact him, and maybe he could open the trade of Lingyan Pavilion to Jinling.

So Yang Yingqian took Sun Dayong and Liu Daniu to Jinling together, this time in addition to talking about business, the main thing is that Yang Yingqian wants to see the infinite scenery of the old capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Yingqian and the three of them walked on the official road for a while, and a small shop selling food appeared not far away, saying that it was a small shop, but in fact, it was a simple tea shed built with a few bamboo poles next to the official road, selling some tea and snacks for the merchants who were in a hurry to rest and eat.

"My lord, seeing that the sun is getting higher and higher, the little one's stomach is starting to bark, let's eat something here and rest," Liu Daniu on the side swallowed his saliva and said to Yang Yingqian.

Hearing Liu Daniu speak, Sun Dayong on the side couldn't help laughing and said: "Da Niu, you rammer, didn't you just eat three catties of meat buns in the morning, why are you hungry again, don't your intestines bend?" Eat it and pull it out! ”

"Dora eats a lot of strength, you think you don't have a good belly like mine!" Liu Daniu's nostrils turned to the sky and sneered.

Seeing that the words of his two subordinates were getting heavier and heavier, Yang Yingqian hurriedly ended the topic.

"I happen to be a little hungry too, so let's rest here."

After that, the three of them tied their horses to a stake not far in front of the tea shed, walked into the tea shed, found a fairly clean square table and sat down.

The owner of the shop is an old man over sixty years old, seeing that a guest comes to the door, he is busy greeting him, Yang Yingqian saw that this place is really simple, I am afraid that there is nothing decent, so he only needs three bowls of coarse tea and five catties of flatbread.

There were no other customers, so their cakes were quickly delivered, and the shopkeeper thoughtfully served two plates of oily pickles.

"Haha, out of the barracks, but it's much more comfortable, my lord, I'll eat first!"

Seeing the food, Liu Da Niu's eyes suddenly had nothing else, and he forgot about his humility, rolled up his sleeves and picked up a big cake and ate it.

"My lord, there is a small question that has been held in my heart for two months, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

Just when Yang Yingqian was about to pick up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, Sun Dayong suddenly asked.

Yang Yingqian smiled slightly and put the cake back in its place, looking at Sun Dayong with burning eyes.

"You want to ask about military training?"

Sun Dayong nodded slowly.

"Since you subdued these 800 military households, your lordship, you have not taught them martial arts, and second, you have not let them practice weapons, but let them run in the mountains and fields every day, standing under the sun, and standing ......" Speaking of this, Sun Dayong seemed to have forgotten what to say.

"Standing in a military posture," Yang Yingqian said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, this kind of training method for adults is unheard of for small ones, and I really don't know what adults mean!"

Yang Yingqian smiled slightly again, and did not answer Sun Dayong's question.

In his previous life, Yang Yingqian was just an ordinary college student, where did he understand the ancient method of military training, but in his opinion, the most important thing for the army in ancient combat was military discipline, and as long as an army had strict military discipline and tacit cooperation between comrades-in-arms, such an army would be very strong in combat effectiveness.

For Yang Yingqian, who has participated in countless military trainings, this kind of disciplined training is no more effective than standing in a military posture and training in a queue.

These military households of Yongningwei are used to being casual in peacetime, their health is poor and they have no discipline at all, and this kind of queue training of the army in later generations coupled with five-kilometer weight-bearing cross-country and regular physical training, after a few months, the mental outlook of these military households of Yongningwei will definitely change greatly.

It's just that these things can't be understood by Sun Dayong now, and Yang Yingqian can also pretend to be unfathomable.

"During this time, let the brothers of the pro-soldier team take all the military households to practice, and when we go back from Nanjing, you will know!"

Seeing that Yang Yingqian didn't want to elaborate, Sun Dayong naturally wouldn't ask more, and when the two were talking, Liu Daniu had already eaten half of the five-pound flatbread, and Sun Dayong scolded with a smile and hurriedly grabbed the rice bucket to eat.

Yang Yingqian looked at the two of them helplessly and smiled, so he had to beckon the boss to serve another one.

At this time, a little girl dressed in a pink binational armor walked into the tea shed with a basket on her shoulder, and looked at the maid who should be dressed as a maid from a large family.

The little girl is about twenty-eight years old, her face is delicate, and she has the feeling of a small jasper, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"Daddy, I'm here to bring you medicine!"

Yang Yingqian reacted at this time, it turned out that the pretty little girl in front of him was the daughter of the owner of the shop.

Seeing his daughter come to give him medicine, the old man was very happy, and immediately took the basket in his daughter's hand and said angrily.

"I've been sick for many years, and it's useless to take medicine, you're coming back from vacation these days, so go back this afternoon, don't let the girl get bored."

Hearing Daddy's anger and concern in his words, the little girl pouted and said unhappily: "Lang Zhong said that this medicine can be eradicated by taking a few more pairs of Daddy's disease, and Miss Meisheng is also very concerned about Daddy!" ”

The old man sighed with relief: "Our family is thanks to Miss Meisheng's usual care to have three meals without worry, you usually have to take good care of Miss Meisheng, she is the benefactor of our family"

The little girl smiled: "Of course, Daddy, Miss Meisheng treats me like a sister, so I naturally have to protect the girl everywhere!" ”

Listening to the warm conversation between the father and daughter, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he also had a happy family in his previous life and parents who loved him, but now, all this can't go back.

Yang Yingqian was thinking about it, when the little girl came to Yang Yingqian's table with a plate of cakes, gently put the cake on the table, bowed lightly and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please use it slowly." ”

The moment she turned around, a burst of fragrance wafted into Yang Yingqian's brain, presumably it was something like incense powder that this little girl used.

Liu Daniu, who had been eating cakes on the side, seemed to smell the fragrance, and hurriedly stopped eating the cakes, shook his nose, and noticed that the fragrance was wafting from the little girl.

"It's so fragrant, I don't know which shop in Nanjing, it's easy to come out, and I have to bring some fashionable objects from Jinling back to my mother when I go home."

I saw Liu Daniu standing up while muttering, and shouted at the little girl who had just walked back: "Hey, I said this eldest sister, what kind of spice did you use, and where did you buy it?" ”

Who knew that the little girl turned her head and didn't reply, but gave Liu Daniu a fierce look.

The little girl's response made Liu Daniu confused.

"I said, eldest sister, let me ask you! What's wrong with your eyes, are they on fire? ”

Listening to Liu Daniu's question, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but have a black line, Liu Daniu's goods, if they were placed in the next generation, they would definitely be singles for a lifetime, a proper straight man of steel!

The little girl also seemed to be annoyed by Liu Daniu's repeated questions, and she didn't care that Liu Daniu was a guest, and stared at Liu Daniu with big eyes at the hem of her skirt, as if she was about to burst into flames.

"You are the eldest sister, and your whole family is the eldest sister!"
