Sangandi's inner emotion is extremely agitated, which is hard to describe in words. For ordinary people like sanggandhi, they are always at home and seldom see people outside.
The leaders of a small town, here in sangandi, are all great people.
If you are a Brahman aristocrat, it will be hard to look up to all your life.
But now, I saw Zhang Xiu.
I met the emperor of the Qin Dynasty.
Such a situation made sangandi's heart excited, his body trembled slightly, even said: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to come in person. Your majesty, to tell you the truth, few people can get used to it. Your majesty is a good man. I can't hurt you and let you lose money in vain. "
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "old man, I just said that I have a secret recipe for making tobacco. After treatment, the cigarettes made from the tobacco leaves will have different tastes. So you don't have to worry. What I am worried about is whether it can be planted on a large scale. "
Sangandi thought in his heart, the emperor must be considerate. He stood in his own perspective and considered for the emperor, but in fact, he did not have the emperor's vision.
Think of here, sangandi suddenly enlightened.
Sangandi stopped persuading and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Please rest assured that this tobacco leaf can be planted on a large scale. In particular, the climate and mountains here are very suitable for planting tobacco. You see, there are many hillsides around here. They are sunny and can be planted on a large scale. "
"Good, good!"
Zhang Xiulian said two good words with a smile on her face.
It can be planted on a large scale, which means that the production of tobacco can be expanded to the largest extent.
Zhang Xiu said: "old man, it's just spring, so it's time to plant tobacco."
"Yes
Sangandi nodded.
After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu asked, "how many people are there in your neighborhood who grow tobacco leaves? Can you call them together?"
Sanggan said: "report back to your majesty. In less than half an hour, all of you can be called together. After all, many people live far away, so it will take some time to get back and forth notice. "
Zhang xiudao: "that's troublesome for you, but you're not very well. Can you go to inform me?"
"No problem!"
Sanggandhi patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, you don't see that the little old man's back is rickety and his body is old. But this old bone is still very strong. It's very easy to climb the slope. And in a place like this, it's not a problem for a young man to walk a hundred miles a day. "
He had a big smile on his face.
Can help Zhang Xiu, sanggandhi heartfelt joy.
Zhang xiudao said: "that's hard work for the elderly. This time, you have to go around and make a notice."
Sangandi shook his hand like a rattle and said, "Your Majesty, don't say that. I'm sorry. You are my great benefactor. I should do something for you. You wait. I'll inform you right away
Zhang xiudao: "hard work for the elderly."
Sangandi rolled up his sleeves and quickly left the house to inform the people in all directions.
Zhang Xiu sat down outside sangandi's house, but his eyes fell on Dong Yan and said in a deep voice: "Dong Yan, you were originally in business. Now, he has entered the army and become an interpreter in the army. What are your plans after this war? "
Dong Yan's mind turns and uses his brain quickly, pondering the intention of Zhang Xiu's inquiry.
It seems that
As soon as Dong Yan thought of the possibility, he was excited.
After careful consideration in his heart, he said: "Your Majesty, now the army is in Kushan. If we want to sweep the whole Kushan, we must also need translation. So now, I plan to stay in the army as a translator. After all, business is not a long-term way. It's a long-term way to get into the army and get a job. "
He didn't say anything in an implicit way, but he just said what he thought.
This is what he really thinks.
Although businessmen can earn money in business, not everyone can achieve the level of LV Buwei and become the Prime Minister of a country from a businessman. Most businessmen are just businessmen.
Such is the case with scholars, peasants, industry and commerce.
So now, after entering the army, Dong Yan hopes to stay.
Zhang Xiuyan said: "you want to get an official position in the army. Apart from being a translator now, what else are you good at? We should know that in the army, we should be able to kill the enemy and cut the generals on the battlefield, or be able to plan and deal with military affairs. When attacking Kushan, because you are proficient in the languages of both sides and can be used as a translator, you may find it difficult later. "
Brush!
Dong Yan's heart sank.
According to Zhang Xiu, he is not competent either as a general or as a logistics manager.
In fact, it is.What Dong Yan has experienced in his life is all about business. As for the others, he had no contact at all. He doesn't have enough experience to be an official in the army or to govern local areas.
It's just that Dong Yan is confused.
As the emperor of a country, Zhang Xiu's words and deeds must have deep meaning. It is impossible to ask questions so casually. Only in Dong Yan's heart, he could not guess Zhang Xiu's plan.
With patience, Dong Yan said, "what your majesty said is that I am not good at fighting in the battlefield or staying in the rear. After all, I have never been in touch with him. However, I will try to get to know more about it. Not really. It's good to be a assistant official. "
Assistant officials are some of the chores.
Even the assistant official, in Dong Yan's opinion, was better than him as a businessman.
Zhang Xiu chuckles. Unexpectedly, Dong Yan is determined to become an official. For Zhang Xiu, this is not a bad thing. It is a good thing that a person has goals and ambitions.
Zhang Xiu is not going around in circles either. She says with a smile, "here I am, there is a way for you to choose."
Dong Yan's heart, excited, even busy way: "please show your majesty."
Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "under the rule of Daqin, there are Daqin bank, Daqin paper industry and Daqin coal industry. Daqin paper industry is responsible for the sale of paper, and Daqin coal industry is responsible for the production and sale of coal mines. Now the tobacco, though for the time being, does not have the possibility of promotion. But after the production of tobacco, tobacco will be popular all over the world. I'm going to set up Daqin tobacco industry alone. "
After a pause, Zhang Xiu continued: "you are the first one to buy tobacco for sale, and you are familiar with the situation of Wulei city and the situation of this place. So I'm going to give you a chance to have a try. Would you like to
Dong Yan's breath was suddenly rapid.
The chest is up and down.
Previously, he said what he thought in his heart. He wanted to be an official in the army. Even if he couldn't, it was good to be a assistant official. But according to Zhang Xiu's standard, he is not suitable.
When Dong Yan was quite depressed, Zhang Xiu suddenly threw out a better opportunity for him to be specially responsible for the production of tobacco. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As a businessman who traveled between Central Plains, western regions and Kushan, Dong Yan knew the situation of Daqin, and knew that Daqin had Daqin paper industry and Daqin coal industry. They were all businesses, but they were all big businesses of Daqin.
Now he wants to establish Daqin tobacco industry, which is obviously equivalent to Daqin coal industry and Daqin paper industry.
Once he's done, he's on his way.
This is an opportunity.
Zhang Xiu stares at Dong Yan, who is a little short of breath. She smiles and says, "Dong Yan, have you considered it clearly?"
Dong Yan recovered in a moment.
With a plop, he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to take charge of Daqin tobacco industry. Your majesty, please rest assured that I will handle this matter properly. "
Zhang Xiu said: "it's not only to deal with things properly. More importantly, the existence of tobacco industry in Daqin must open a new road to finance. This is the future of Daqin tobacco industry, which must be far beyond Daqin paper industry and Daqin coal industry. "
Dong Yan was shocked.
In fact, he doesn't have many concepts about tobacco. After all, although the tobacco can be smoked, in fact, there are not many people who really smoke nowadays. He really did not expect that the picking and selling of tobacco leaves could surpass that of Daqin paper.
But Dong Yan didn't think about it. Now he just needs to go down step by step and do his best every step. In this way, he is worthy of his heart and Zhang Xiu's trust.
Zhang Xiu is in charge of tobacco with Dong Yan and talks about tobacco. Now there is just time, so Zhang Xiu has explained all the processes from planting tobacco leaves to making cigarettes and selling cigarettes.
Zhang Xiu can only say what she knows about cigarettes.
On the one hand, he said, on the other hand, he added.
This half-hour time, has been Zhang Xiu said, Dong Yan is responsible for writing down.
The more Dong Yan listened, the more shocked he felt, because he could be sure that Zhang Xiu was in contact with tobacco for the first time. However, what Zhang Xiu elaborated is extremely clear, and the logic is more meticulous. It can't be seen that she has just contacted.
This surprised Dong Yan even more.
At this moment, a burst of footwork and noisy comments came from not far away. See Sangxiu, a group of people have come back.
At a glance, there are at least a hundred people.
There are old and young people, as well as some women and children. People in the neighborhood must have come.
Sangandi was at the front, his face red and his eyes bright. As he walked, he introduced Zhang Xiu. When sangandi with people close, even busy way: "grass people sangandi, see the emperor."
The rest of you, salute with sangandi.
I'll see you all.
It's all about kneeling.
But Zhang Xiu waved her hand to stop her and said, "folks, don't salute. Come on, sit around here. "Everyone said thanks and took their seats.
Zhang Xiu continued: "my intention, I believe sangandi, has been made clear. Now I need to buy this tobacco in large quantities. Of course, the price of this purchase is certainly higher than the price of your sales, and it will not treat you badly. I call you here to ask you whether you are willing to plant tobacco in large quantities? "
