You can't get involved in this kind of thing, you don't have the right to get involved, let alone you can't get involved in this kind of thing.

※※※※※※

After coming out of the palace, Liu Mingqi's enthusiasm has always been unhappy.

He always felt that something was wrong with these grassland people and small extra countries, and Jing Hedi's disapproval made him even more alert.

After returning home, the boy called Tian Rong over again.

"Old Tian, ​​how much cigarettes are left in our house?" the young man asked.

"When the accounts were closed this month, there should be more than 100,000 left," Tian Rong said. "This cigarette is very popular among the people in the officialdom, the young noble family members, and the children and grandchildren of court officials.

But the most popular place is in the shopping malls. Every night, theaters, flower buildings, restaurants and other places must be places where cigarettes are popular.

This is what Your Highness, you want us not to sell it out for the time being, otherwise the uncle of the Xu family and the others would have requested a large-scale shipment to Jiangnan! Now, we are still blocked by the royal family members and want to buy more cigarettes and sell them to other places."

Previously, Luo Lie transported about 200,000 kilograms of tobacco from his Sulu country, and Liu Mingqi and the others made 300,000 cigarettes.

Each pack of these cigarettes costs one or two taels of silver.

As a result, after being placed in the capital, there was still a crazy sales situation of supply and demand.

The reason is the celebrity effect at the beginning.

After the publicity of idle men hired by Prince Yu's Mansion, everyone knows that this kind of cigarette is something that the emperor and the prime minister like to smoke.

Then those young people who pursued the trend saw the first playboy, Nangong Qiucheng and others smoking, and of course they followed suit.

Once the imitation starts, not many people can stop cigarettes.

Even Nangong Qiucheng is the same.

Of course, Nangong Qiucheng, who has fallen, dares not come out to wander now.

His only hobby now is to stay at home and sing operas with his wives and concubines, play mahjong, and do some pleasant things.

In addition, he smokes most often, and when he gets irritated, he smokes.

This cigarette was given to him for free by Liu Mingqi. Otherwise, if you smoke at this frequency, the censor would probably impeach Nangong Xiangye to secretly keep his property.

Wang Zhiru is even more decadent than Nangong Qiucheng. It is said that he drinks at home all day long and often quarreled with Wang Feiteng, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who was under house arrest.

However, the Wang family is better than the Nangong family.

Because Wang Liangxin, the eldest son of the Wang family, had been transferred from Dali Temple to the Imperial Palace Office, and was promoted to two levels in an extraordinary manner, becoming the second only to the Imperial Palace Prefecture and the Imperial Palace Prefecture Chief.

Many folk pavilions in the capital mentioned that Wang Liangxin must have been the next imperial prefect who was focused on cultivating.

Although he is only twenty-nine years old this year, he will only be thirty-four or five years old after training for a few years. Isn’t Miao Yan the only one who is the prefect of the imperial capital at this age?

Now the escort Ge Songdao is escorting him, but Ge Songdao cannot always serve as the prefect of the imperial capital.

The only thing to look at now is whether Wang Liangxin can show the courage of the Legal officials. Not to mention catching up with Miao Yan and Ge Songdao, even if they can have 70% or 80% of their courage and ability, then the position of the imperial prefect is firmly in the position of the imperial capital.

In time, Wang Liangxin could have been even better than his father and directly joined the cabinet and became a new generation of Legalists.

With Wang Liangxin, even if the Wang family is already in a downturn, who dares to really underestimate them?

Turn to your eyes.

Liu Mingqi restricted the spread of tobacco mainly because the tobacco was not in sufficient follow-up.

If you want to plant on a large scale and develop it to the point of supplying the whole world, it will be impossible for two or three years.

Not to mention that Liu Mingqi mainly wants to export and sell it to every corner of the world.

So there was no need to promote it so actively at the beginning.

First, let’s make the market in Beijing a good foundation and spread the word of mouth, and then talk about the rest later.

There are always goods sold, which are more suitable for the healthy operation of business than if there is no successor after a burst of popularity.

However, today Liu Mingqi is going to make another change.

He said to Tian Rong: "Tonight you have someone bring hundreds of cigarettes to major inns, such as Shiwei, Xiqiang, and Japan, and you will give them more. And you will tell them that once you finish smoking, you can continue to ask us for it, which is free at present."

"Then they keep asking for it, do we keep giving it? There is no limit to the quantity?" Tian Rong asked.

"How is that possible?" Liu Mingqi said, "I gave you more at the beginning, but I gave you less at the end. I said there was no such thing during the Chinese New Year. When they were about to leave after the Spring Festival, it was time to sell it to them."

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Tian Rong was a little puzzled.

"Don't worry, just do what I said."

The boy shook his head, not intending to say it at this time.

Tian Rong didn't care, and if the little master didn't say it, he naturally had his plans.

After he saluted, he went down to prepare.

Liu Mingqi's meaning is actually quite simple. He wanted to use cigarettes to corrode the fierce grassland people, Japan, Nanzhao and other countries.

Smokers know that among the two favorite things men like, smoking and alcohol, quitting smoking is more painful than quitting alcohol.

Many people can quit drinking successfully, but few people can quit smoking successfully.

All those who came this time were the next generation of foreign rulers.

As long as they become addicted to smoking, the people around them will definitely follow.

Liu Mingqi would not naively think that cutting off the cigarette supply would force herself to commit suicide, but instead felt that she could plunder the wealth of grasslands and small extra countries through high-priced sales.

They can’t live without cigarettes, and cigarettes can only be purchased from Dakang. At that time, they could only accept exploitation obediently?

Originally, Liu Mingqi didn't plan to take out cigarettes, because cigarettes have a refreshing and mental effect for these bigwigs, which is conducive to their successful mastery of the government.

But now the boys have a sense of crisis and decide to sacrifice this killing weapon, thus greatly consuming their folk wealth.

If you sell things, you have to sell something that is not beneficial to improving national strength, but is particularly expensive.

This is like modern LV bags and grandma's clothes. Apart from the large amount of foreign exchange consumption, there is no substantial benefit at all.

...

Shortly after Tian Rong left, Fan Shan brought Luo Lie back.

Luo Lie is completely different from when he came to meet Liu Mingqi.

Because of the 200,000 kilograms of tobacco brought back from Sulu Kingdom, Liu Mingqi directly allowed him to open a shop in the capital, specializing in selling various commodities from Prince Yu's Mansion.

Although every product cannot be available anytime and anywhere, the monthly sales volume is absolutely guaranteed that Luo Lie can earn more than 30,000 taels of silver.

In addition, Liu Mingqi also agreed to Luo Lie.

When the time is right, he will hand over all the sales rights to the Japanese area to him, so that he can make more money.

This is still a short promise so far, because the goods in Prince Yu's Mansion are so in short supply, Dakang can digest them completely by himself.

But Luo Lie can completely expect such a day.

At that time, he would settle in Jiangnan like heaven, thus becoming the top wealthy family in Jiangnan from Dakang for generations.

Yes.

Luo Lie has now completely changed his mind.

At the beginning, he thought about how he gained the attention of Liu Mingqi, and then took the things given by Liu Mingqi and returned to Sulu Kingdom to become the king of a country.

Now he felt that it would be useless to be king in such a remote and poor country, who would suffer disasters from time to time!

Girls on food, drink, clothing, enjoyment, and play... Take out any item, and the king of Sulu can't even compare to a rich businessman in the capital.

So Luo Lie felt that it would be better to hug Prince Yu, no, Prince De's thighs were better.

When he earns hundreds of thousands or millions of taels of silver here, he will go to Jiangnan to buy tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, then form a fleet, and continue to earn money from the Japanese island country, and then continue to purchase land and industries in Jiangnan, thus creating a great happy landlord foundation for the descendants of the Luo family.

With this idea, Luo Lie has been actively integrating into Dakang's business industry recently and actively communicating and making friends with them.

With the various commodities of Prince Yu's Mansion in his hands, he could easily integrate into it, making him feel prosperous and happy.

"Prince!"

Luo Lie saluted respectfully when he met, "I'm so ashamed that I haven't come to pay a visit for a long time!"

"Didn't we just had dinner together last month? Don't be polite!" Liu Mingqi smiled and asked him to sit down, "Brother Luo, I heard that you were just making a big splash in Piaofei Pavilion a few days ago and stole Miss Chenchen's head soup. It's really amazing!"

"I really like Miss Chenchen when I see you." Luo Lie blushed, but he was more proud and proud.

A few days ago, he snatched the blood of the girl Chenchen, who was about to leave the house at Piaofei Pavilion for a sky-high price of 30,000 taels of silver. In the process, he directly defeated more than a dozen children of playboys and nobles and wealthy businessmen, and was very proud.

Although Luo Lie can earn more than 30,000 taels of silver every month, the money is equally high for him.

After all, in order to actively enter the business circle and learn how others do business, Luo Lie keeps eating, drinking and socializing every month, and often gives gifts generously to others. It is good to save 10,000 taels of silver every month!

But Luo Lie is not afraid at all, because behind him is Liu Mingqi, who earns 30,000 taels of income every month. This month is spent and guaranteed to be guaranteed next month.

How many businessmen can earn so many monthly income in the entire capital?

Even if there is, people will have to look at De Wang De and don’t fight to the death with him.

After a pause, he said again: "I have agreed with Miss Chenchen that I will redeem her next month and let her become my wife."

"ah?"
