Chapter 1292

In his heart, he could not wait to go back, so he took the initiative to say goodbye: "Your Majesty, I have something to do now, so I will go back first. After all, the military is very busy, so we can't get away from it. "

"Are you busy in the military?"

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help laughing.

Shamoke was teased by Zhang Xiu, and his face was quite unnatural. Although he was in charge of the army, he was mainly a fierce general in the battlefield. Most of the time, shamoko was handed over to the civil servants around him, and he rarely intervened.

Zhang Xiu joked: "you are addicted to smoking. You should go back to smoke."

Shamoko rubbed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not a smoker. It's just that your Majesty's action just now is really natural and unrestrained. Even if I saw it, I couldn't help feeling broken. So I want to follow suit. "

He was really excited.

I want to have a try.

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "if you want to have a try, I won't stop you. But when you go back, call me the interpreter who sent you the tobacco. This man is of great use to me. "

"Here it is

Shamoko answered and left in a hurry.

Zhang Xiu looked at the departure of shamoko, mouth with a smile, more looking forward to.

Opportunity!

Now that he finds tobacco, it's his chance.

The existence of tobacco is tantamount to opening up another market. As a smoker, if there is no tobacco, it is like the lack of soul, so he is ready to use tobacco to re open up an industry.

Zhang Xiu sat quietly, waiting quietly.

In his mind, he is already telling the operation, thinking about how to use tobacco. The formation of an industry can not be completed overnight, nor can it be decided in a short time. It involves all aspects.

So Zhang Xiu should think it over carefully.

It wasn't long before an attendant came in. It was reported that the translator had come. Zhang Xiu let people in. Soon, a middle-aged man with fat and short stature entered.

His name is Dong Yan, a businessman.

He was mainly a business man who traveled between Kushan, the western regions and the Central Plains. The army needed a translator, so Dong Yan went to the army and became a translator, who was specially responsible for communicating with Kushan and the Qin army.

Dong Yan thought that shamocco was relatively simple, and ordinary people might not be willing to accept things like tobacco, so he paid a visit with tobacco leaves and successfully joined shamocco's line.

It's just that Dong Yan didn't expect that the tobacco leaves he gave to shamoke had been transferred to Zhang Xiu's desk by shamoke's hand, and he also came into Zhang Xiu's sight.

At this moment, Dong Yan felt uneasy.

After Dong Yan stood still, he bowed almost 90 degrees and said, "Cao min Dong Yan, meet your majesty."

Zhang Xiu said, "don't be too polite!"

Dong Yan just stood up, his face was still uneasy. He knew that the emperor summoned him for the sake of tobacco. He was worried that he would send tobacco to shamoko and be disposed of by the emperor, so his eyes were wavering and his heart was terrified.

Zhang Xiu noticed Dong Yan's manner and said with a smile, "I'm looking for you, not for you to ask for a crime."

Whoo!

Dong Yanchang let out a breath.

At least it's not a question of guilt.

At this moment, Dong Yan felt relieved. He had a smile on his face and said, "I don't know if your majesty is calling. What's the matter?"

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice, "what did you do before you entered the army as a translator?"

Dong Yan said: "report back to your majesty, before entering the army, the grass people have been doing business. Mainly engaged in silk, fur, and tea business. Because they travel between the Central Plains, the western regions and Kushan, the grassroots know much about Kushan. "

Zhang Xiu nodded her head and stopped beating around the bush. "Where did you get the tobacco?" she said in a deep voice

Dong Yan said truthfully: "report to your majesty that the tobacco was purchased from an old farmer. There are such tobacco leaves in Wulei City, which are planted by a group of old farmers. However, the quantity is not much. After all, few people smoke. Even grass-roots people are not used to it. But some old farmers like it

Zhang Xiu said, "then, how do you think of sending tobacco to shamoko?"

Dong Yan, with a sudden heart, replied, "tell your majesty, the reason why the grassroots choose to give away tobacco leaves. First, it's because this gift of tobacco leaves is different from giving money and treasures. It's not a bribe or a precious thing. "

"Second, it is not vulgar. After all, wine delivery is too vulgar, it has no influence, and it is difficult to get the favor of general shamoko, so I chose a different gift. "

"Third, the tobacco leaves are the most favorite for some people who like to drink spirits. Once you really like it, you really like it. "

Dong Yan said three points in succession, and finally said: "of course, there is the most important point. As a matter of fact, tobacco leaves were given not only to general shamoko, but also to other generals. Although the gift is light, it can make an impression. But in the end, only general shamoko fell in love with tobacco. "Zhang Xiu said, "you are good at dancing with long sleeves."

Dong Yan saw Zhang Xiu's tone, there is no anger, there is no harsh, heart is a sigh of relief. If Zhang Xiu is really angry, then things will not be easy to do.

Dong Yan said: "Your Majesty has killed the grassroots, but as a businessman, if you want to have a foothold, you have to make a lot of connections and good connections. I don't want to get anything in return. I just want to have one more friend and one less enemy. In this way, business will go smoothly. "

Zhang Xiu praised Dong Yan's way of life.

This is true of business.

It is not only a means of management, but also a way of life. To a certain extent, business also depends on being a person. Because in the thousands of years of Chinese history, business is more about human relations than business operation.

As soon as Zhang Xiuhua Feng turned around, he went straight to the point and said, "I've come to you today just for the sake of tobacco. Now that you know the tobacco growers, you should lead the way. You take me to visit the tobacco growers. "

"Here it is

Dong Yan immediately responded.

After a pause, Dong Yancai suggested: "Your Majesty, I just want to see the old farmers who grow tobacco. Moreover, the old farmer is in the southwest of Wulei City, about 20 miles away from Wulei city. Many places are still mountain roads. Do you want to arrange for someone to go to the notice. Your majesty will be there in person. I'm afraid there will be a delay. "

"No need!"

Zhang Xiu shook her head and replied, "you lead the way. I'll go there myself."

Seeing this, Dong Yan stopped persuading.

Zhang Xiu has a decision, he only needs to implement it, and he has talked it over. Under such a premise, he only needs to act according to Zhang Xiu's decision.

Zhang Xiu gave an order and told Xun Yu about his departure. She took Wang Yue, a group of royal guards and Dong Yan to go twenty miles away.

It's a ride. Such a journey, in the case of riding, did not take long. Finally, it came to the place mentioned by Dong Yan.

This area is one after another of hills.

The mountain is not high.

And one after another on the hillside, lush, a green.

Dong Yan and Zhang Xiu soon came to the house where the old farmer lived. This house is a simple mud house, covered with thatch to keep out the wind and rain, surrounded by low fences.

Dong Yan immediately introduced the situation of the old farmer to Zhang Xiu.

The old farmer's name is sangandi.

The most common people, though not slaves, are also the most common pariah. In front of the Brahman castes, they can't even lift their heads. Now, his wife is 50 years old. Originally, sangandi had three sons and two daughters, but the three sons died in the hands of aristocrats. After the daughter married out, she did not live many years.

Today's sangandi is alone.

He lives by himself.

After seeing sangandi, Dong Yan immediately went forward to say hello and said, "old man, I'm here again."

Although sangandi has gone through many vicissitudes, and even now the evening is bleak, he is an optimistic master. With a smile on his face, he said, "Mr. Dong, why are you here. Would you like to buy some tobacco from me. The old man tells you that you can't pay a high price for this purchase. "

After a pause, sangandi said: "the last time you bought tobacco, you paid a high price. Although the old man is alone, he can't take advantage of you. If you're still like this, I won't sell you tobacco next time. "
