After leaving the Embroidered Guards' Office, Liu Mingqi entered the palace and first sent twenty packs of cigarettes and cigarette holders to the four prime ministers of Wenyuan Pavilion, and then twenty packs of cigarettes and cigarette holders to Emperor Jinghe.

It’s not that Liu Mingqi is stingy and unwilling to give more, he has made 297 packs of cigarettes in total, so where can I give more?

If you give them all at once, how can you please them?

As long as they get used to cigarettes, they can feel that cigarettes are good things and promote them.

Cigarettes are even more lethal to male compatriots than the girls in Hualou.

It’s like children eating candy and pastries, no matter how much it is, it’s not enough.

Of course, less than 300 packs cannot meet their needs at all.

Even if there are only five people smoking now, it is not enough.

For this reason, before entering the palace yesterday, Liu Mingqi had already told Luo Lie that he had sent people back as quickly as possible and transported as much as possible tobacco.

It is best to bring dozens of kilograms of seeds.

Luo Lie agreed in a panic and sent guards on the spot to follow the people from Princess Yu's mother's Xu family, and rode the fastest horse to Jiangnan.

They would take a boat from Jiangnan to Guangzhou, and then take a big boat back to Sulu Kingdom in Guangzhou.

This route is the same as the guards in Cebu Kingdom before.

The southern waters will not freeze in winter, but instead have a tropical climate, which is more suitable for ship navigation.

According to the voyage of Cebu, the voyage of Sulu is about the same and will probably come back in May.

Before this, anyone who has a smoking addiction has to endure it.

Liu Mingqi was still a little sad, thinking that her weapon was displayed too early?

If they quit smoking because they didn’t have cigarettes, wouldn’t it be a waste of money?

From Luo Lie's perspective, he not only agreed to bring tobacco leaves, but also to bring seeds. This is not stupid. He knew that Liu Mingqi wanted to plant it.

But what can I bear to give up on just tobacco?

If you can’t bear to bear this, how can you gain the favor of Prince Yu and earn more money?

After all, Prince Yu ordered the Xu family in Jiangnan to bring 10,000 pieces of soap, a thousand bottles of flower essential oil, 10,000 rolls of toilet paper, a thousand kilograms of white sugar, and a hundred kilograms of white rabbit milk candy as gifts to Sulu Kingdom, which has already been taken seriously.

Besides, although he couldn't buy the White Rabbit milk candy for the third time, Luo Lie had already made no less than 3,000 taels of silver after several consecutive business trips.

This is basically equivalent to his previous three years of expenses.

And he had a lot of plans and had not been able to win over a month.

How much can he earn in a year?

How much can he earn in three years?

If he ends his studies here, how much will he earn if he leads ships loaded with treasures from the Prince Yu’s Mansion all the way to the East?

You can get all the gold and silver mountains!

So after calculating the economic account, I was simply a fool if I couldn’t bear tobacco and seeds!

...

Luo Lie has been in the glory during this period.

When he was doing business the next few times, he deliberately chose around the inn.

Although most of the inns here are located in the southwest mountainous areas and the southeastern island countries, the princes and nobles are not very rich, but they are always richer than ordinary people.

Luo Lie sold them in large quantities such as soap and toilet paper, and there was no extra money at all.

The amount of flower essential oil, white sugar and big white rabbit milk candy is much smaller, but basically everyone can buy a little.

These princes and nobles took these and went to places outside the imperial capital to sell them. They could earn dozens or hundreds of taels by resale. Do you think they were smiling?

While smiling, how could they not be grateful to the fifth prince of Sulu?

For a time, people were saying good things about Luo Lie, thinking that he was righteous and generous. In the inn for so many years, there had never been a person like him.

If you have money, you are the old man, and if you can help others make money, you are the old man.

Everyone is not very rich. It is not strange that he has such an opportunity to get money for nothing. He is full of words praising Prince Luo Lie everywhere.

Luo Lie was secretly laughing at such a result.

Of course he is not a good man, but a businessman.

The reason for giving small favors is that these princes and nobles have certain energy in their own country.

If he does any business in these countries in the future and has them helping him, he will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The so-called friendly relationship must be cultivated for a long time.

Only by letting them know that they have meat to eat when doing business with them can they actively do business with them in the future.

Compared to Luo Lie's scenery, another prince, Du Lifeng, the prince of Cebu, is not that free.

Previously, with his relationship with Liu Mingqi, he could get some gifts from time to time.

Such as soap, flower essential oil, toilet paper, sugar, etc., there are not many, but they have basically never stopped.

By selling most of these products, Du Lifeng can make a lot of money, and his life has been much easier.

But so far, he has only earned one or two thousand taels of silver, and most of it has been spent on Xiao Zhenzhu, but it is not enough.

After all, if there is too much money, Du Lifeng can make Xiao Zhenzhu not pick up customers and always be with him. Even if Xiao Zhenzhu is unwilling to marry him now, his money can guarantee that he is not sharing a woman with other men.

Du Lifeng has no xx plot, and he doesn't even dislike Xiao Zhenzhu in this business, because Xiao Zhenzhu is a perfect woman in his eyes, and he can see it well no matter how he looks at it.

He only cares that he has no ability and cannot let Xiao Zhenzhu follow him.

Now that Luo Lie has made a fortune, Du Lifeng suddenly woke up!

The reason why I failed is that I made less money!

But Prince Yu always gave him gifts, so naturally there were no gifts. Du Lifeng said, "You little prince, please give me more, but he couldn't say it."

More importantly, why can Luo Lie buy so many things from the little prince, but the little prince didn't let him buy it?

According to relationships, it should be that I have a better relationship with the little prince, right?

Could it be...

Could it be that I was out of favor?

Thinking of this, Du Lifeng shuddered.

His life is almost entirely saved by Liu Mingqi. If Liu Mingqi no longer treats him as a friend, he will soon be beaten back to his original form and become the "fart king" who is sneered!

This doesn't work!

Absolutely not possible!!

Du Lifeng, a child, had no scheming. When the crisis came, he didn't think about anything else. He didn't even discuss it with Xiao Zhenzhu, so he went straight to the door of Prince Yu's mansion.

He also asked directly: "Little Prince, are you no longer treating Xiao Du as a friend? Why can Luo Lie do business with you, but I can't?"

When Liu Mingqi heard Du Lifeng's purpose, he was so amused, "Little Du, aren't you very happy to get those gifts before? I thought you only like Xiao Zhenzhu and are not interested in other things!"

Du Lifeng's face turned red and his tone suddenly softened, "Luo Lie's recent business reminded me that if I want to live better in the Imperial Capital, I still need to work harder.

My greatest wish is to be able to do business with Prince Yu’s Mansion. I wonder if you can agree to it with the little prince?”

nonsense.

You said so, can I not agree?

Compared to Luo Lie, you are the role model I set!

Even if you don’t say the allusion of “a thousand gold buys horse bones”, just saying that you can provide me with Dakang Chao sweet potatoes is already the greatest kindness to me Liu Mingqi!

Countless common people survive because of you. I have to take this favor if I don’t want to take it.

Thinking of this, Liu Mingqi said: "What do you want to do?"

"I, I want to be the same as Luo Lie, do you think it's okay?" Du Lifeng looked at Liu Mingqi with his eyes wide open.

"You are different from Luo Lie. Luo Lie's character and good dance are not comparable to you." Liu Mingqi shook her head and said.

Du Lifeng's heart sank suddenly.

But before he could speak, Liu Mingqi said again, "But, you also have an advantage that he does not have, so you can definitely do a good job in this business."

“What is it?”

"You have a good wife, he doesn't."

"Ah? Who? Why don't I know?"

Liu Mingqi smiled slightly, "Isn't Xiao Zhenzhu? She is much smarter than you!"

Du Lifeng felt a little embarrassed, "But Xiao Zhenzhu hasn't agreed to marry me yet, so she is not my person."

"Xiao Du, why are you so stupid?" Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "Because she is not yours, you just happened to use this business to attract her! Ask her, is it better to do a flesh-skin business in the flower building, or to be such a dignified boss lady?"

Du Lifeng was not a fool either, so he immediately patted his thigh and said, "Of course it's good to be the boss lady!"
