Chapter 343: The Excited Prefect, May 65/114(1/2)

He Fei suddenly felt that Prince Yu was very interesting.

What he said about Ge Songdao attaching importance to "Encouraging Learning" was to flatter him from the side.

Unexpectedly, Liu Mingqi accepted it so calmly, and naturally thought that everyone should learn it.

Not to mention anything else, this self-confidence is very rare.

No wonder he was able to become a sensational figure.

He Fei was thinking, and Mao Shizhu over there said with a smile: "Your Highness, before you came, you heard a seven-character regulated verse that spread rapidly in the Yangtze River Basin, called "Jinse". I wonder if it has something to do with you?"

Although Mao Shizhu is a fat general, he is also a serious juren.

This is good for the Great Kang Dynasty. Even if a general is a general, he must learn some Confucian, Legal, and Mohist theories. He must pass the imperial examination and pass the imperial examination before he can be promoted faster in the army.

With a general with a cultural heritage, his own shantuism is not that important, and he has a stronger sense of belonging to the court.

At the same time, the big men of the court would not look down on them just because they were martial artists.

If everyone comes from the same source, there is nothing to reject.

This has promoted the unity between civil and military officials to a certain extent.

Therefore, it is natural that Mao Shizhu is interested in "Jinse".

He Fei suddenly became radiant when he heard "Black Se", "Your Highness, this eternal masterpiece that describes the pain of men and women with love must have been written by you, right?"

Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "Oh? How can I see it?"

"First, this poem has only become popular these days. It is said that it was written by a young man, and it was on a ship in the Yangtze River Basin nearby.

Second, Hubei and Sichuan are both places where literary and poetry are not prosperous. If there were such talents in the local area, they would have already made a name for themselves. How could they wait until now?

Your Highness, you happened to be walking up from Yichang these days, and it can match it in terms of time, place, or age characteristics.

Last point, who can do this world except Your Highness?”

He Fei said a lot, with strong confidence.

Liu Mingqi nodded slightly, "Yes, you guessed it well, this is what I did on the boat at Yichang Wharf."

"hey-hey!"

The two of them smiled happily.

This is a natural pleasure.

"What a pity!" He Fei felt a little regretful, "How great would it be if "Jinse" was written in our Yibin! We can stay in the historical records forever with this masterpiece of eternity."

The boy smiled: "It depends on the opportunity."

He Fei is right.

Often, a song or a poem can make a place with unknown reputation spread across the world, and people will remember it many years later.

For example, the Yellow Crane Tower and the Stork Tower come from.

One has "I don't know where the yellow cranes go, and there is no Yellow Crane Tower here", and the other has "The sun is on the mountain and the Yellow River flows into the sea, and I want to see you thousands of miles away, and I will go up to a higher level."

There is also the Tengwang Pavilion, another one in the four buildings.

If it weren't for the genius Wang Bo's poem "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion", how many people would know about the pavilions in this small place?

The poem "The autumn water is the same as the sky, and the lonely geese and the falling sunset are flying together" will remind you of the Tengwang Pavilion that you have never seen before, and it will be deeply remembered in your mind.

The same is true in modern times.

"The girl in Tazaka Castle has long braids and her eyes are so beautiful."

In Liu Mingqi's era, this song has been circulating nationwide for nearly a hundred years.

Anyone who has never been to the frontier can know that there is a beautiful Dazaka city and beautiful girls there.

From this we can see the driving effect of a poem and a song on a place.

Let's talk about it back to you.

The three of them talked about "Jinse", and the atmosphere naturally became more harmonious.

Liu Mingqi took the opportunity to express her intention: "That's right, two sirs. Have you heard of the cigarette?"

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

Liu Mingqi took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one by himself, then stuffed them one by one, and lit them together.

The three of them began to fly into the clouds.

He Fei was a little uncomfortable with cigarettes, so he choked after taking a few puffs.

However, Mao Shizhu seemed very interested. She learned to suck it in from her mouth like Liu Mingqi and spit it out from her nostrils, which was quite interesting.

After smoking a cigarette, Liu Mingqi said, "This is the cigarette I made recently. In Beijing, no matter how many prime ministers, the six ministers, or the generals of the Imperial Guards, they all like to smoke... The emperor actually likes it very much, but because he is not in good health, he didn't give it to him. He even scolded me and was angry."

He Fei and Mao Shizhu laughed.

According to the emperor's character, it is normal to do this.

However, it is not easy to be scolded by him like this.

Do you think the emperor scolds everyone?

But when he heard that all the officials in the capital like cigarettes, He Fei quickly asked Liu Mingqi for another shot and slowly calmed down and realized it.

Mao Shizhu was no exception. Smoking a cigarette, he asked, "Your Highness, is it just because it's fun to smoke?"

"Of course not!"

Liu Mingqi said, "It can refresh the mind. When you are busy and tired from handling official business, you will become clear-headed when you are busy and tired from it. Or when you are irritable, you can also eliminate a lot of irritability."

"Is there such a good effect?" Mao Shizhu said in surprise: "Isn't that cigarette a magical object?"

"Of course it's not just the benefits. Smoking too much will cause damage to the lungs, coughing and phlegm, and getting sick in severe cases."

While speaking, Liu Mingqi handed them the cigarette box.

In addition to the exquisite pictures and the logo of Prince Yu’s Mansion, there are also a few blood-red characters on the front.

“Smoking is harmful to health.”

He Fei read it and found it strange, "Although smoking is harmful, your highness, wouldn't you keep countless guests away if you write like this?"

"Of course, this kind of thing that has both pros and cons, let them know the consequences and let them pay attention to their health, rather than greed for enjoyment." Liu Mingqi said: "If you don't agree, don't blame me for not reminding them before."

In fact, He Fei's questions were asked by the prime ministers and generals in Beijing before.

Even Jinghedi, who was basically unlucky with Yan, asked curiously.

Speaking of the emperor, it is really pitiful. In order not to harm his health, the prime ministers, the six ministers, etc. never smoke when discussing things with him.

On the contrary, when resting, everyone would run outside the imperial study room to smoke together, leaving the emperor in the imperial study room.

This made the emperor very depressed.

Regarding "smoking is harmful to health", it is purely a memory of Liu Mingqi's previous life.

He really wanted to know, thousands of years later, when people realized the harm of smoking, they found that someone had reminded them like this thousands of years ago, and what was their expression at that time.

But he didn't explain it that way.

Just like now he explained to He Fei, he also said the same to the emperor and ministers in Beijing.

After listening to the explanation, He Fei and Mao Shizhu still felt that Liu Mingqi was a little stupid.

Are you keeping at least half of your guests out?

But they didn't know, what was such a warning?

If some terrifying photos abroad are placed on cigarette boxes, can't they stop smokers?

If you like it, you will like it eventually.

If you don’t like it, you won’t like it even if you don’t write it.

After talking about this, Liu Mingqi said: "The raw material of cigarettes is called tobacco, which is a specialty of Sulu Kingdom overseas, but they also brought the seeds to our Dakang. So I was thinking about finding a place to grow tobacco."

He Fei is also an old man.

Hearing this, he immediately noticed the business opportunity inside: "Your Highness, do you mean...we are one of the places you are inspecting?"

"Yes!"

Liu Mingqi did not hide it and nodded, "In the future, cigarettes will be sold to the world on a large scale and will be sold overseas. It is very important, so I want to find a suitable place to plant it so that it can grow and harvest on Dakang's land."

He Fei immediately asked: "Your Highness, we are good at Yibin! The land here is the most fertile, with abundant rainfall and plenty of sunshine, so it is the most appropriate to plant things!"

Mao Shizhu also asked next to her, "Your Highness, don't you know if the yield of tobacco is high? How much do you need?"

Although Mao Shizhu is just a garrison general, he still has a lot of feelings for Yibin over the years.

So he also helped to ask clearly.

The boy said: "I want as much as you can grow."

"ah?"
