Chapter 1006

Li Yuanqing picked up the tobacco bag and sniffed it in his mouth.

Yang Xiaobo took out several pieces of tobacco paper with a smile, "marshal, would you like to try it?"

Li Yuanqing a smile: "this paper is very interesting."

Yang Xiaobo took over the tobacco bag with a smile, took out some tobacco leaves, put them on the paper carefully, and explained with a smile, "dashai, this is the skill that the children learned from the Chinese businessmen in Nanyang. It's much cheaper than a cigar. "

As he spoke, Yang Xiaobo had rolled a cigarette and handed it to Li Yuanqing respectfully. He rolled a cigarette for himself and took the candle. He lit it carefully for Li Yuanqing, and then lit it for himself. He took a deep breath and said with a smile, "marshal, how do you taste first? This is the tobacco leaf carefully baked by humble duty. "

Li Yuanqing took a slight puff, frowning slightly, but for a moment, it stretched out again.

Although it is already a good tobacco leaf, but the taste is somewhat pungent, if compared with later generations of tobacco, the intensity is afraid to be at least several orders of magnitude higher.

But compared with the Cuban cigar, the taste is slightly more elegant, but certainly no cigar taste more persistent and rich.

Of course, Li Yuanqing is also very clear.

In fact, at least 34% or even more tobacco flavor was deviated from.

But those imported cigarettes, such as Lao maozi's and American cigarettes, should pay more attention to the taste of tobacco itself. Even if it is an old smoker, I'm afraid he can't accept it for a while.

Two choices, two flavors, can't say who is good and who is bad.

China's tobacco, in the United States do not know what situation, but in Lao maozi's side, it is quite popular.

At the same time, the profit of Huaxia tobacco is much higher than that of other places.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing took another bite, tasted it carefully, and said with a smile, "it's not bad. It's several grades better than our local dry tobacco. "

Yang Xiaobo said with a smile: "marshal, I have been thinking about my humble position all the way. This is a good business. The quality of dry tobacco is poor and the yield is low, but there are many people in demand. And this tobacco leaf, the taste is better than ordinary dry tobacco leaf, much better. If it can form an industry, it may impact the internal market of Daming. "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "little boat, you boy, you are really clever. It's a good thing. However, I still need to think carefully about how to operate

…………

Yang boat excitedly left, Li Yuanqing returned to the inner study, playing with the tobacco in his hand, but fell into deep thinking.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, when he went to Nanyang, Li Yuanqing had come into contact with American Tobacco brought by Spanish and Portuguese colonists, both good and bad.

And Daming, or the Chinese nation, has a very long history of smoking tobacco.

With the experience of later generations, Li Yuanqing knows very well that the tobacco industry is definitely one of the most profitable businesses in the world.

To some extent, I'm afraid it's even worse than Fu Shou Gao.

Because the vitality of tobacco is very tenacious, compared with poppy ~ poppy, it is better to feed a lot.

There are a lot of dry tobacco that the people of Daming smoke a lot. They just plant some in their spare fields for medicinal introduction or recreation.

There is demand and circulation, but there is no scale.

With Li Yuanqing's strength at this time, once it is formed into a scale, it is difficult to make money or not.

But the most critical problem is that the harm of tobacco has been recognized as a persistent disease of the world in later generations. If it is scaled up, it is obvious that This is not a very favorable thing

However, according to the industrial level of Changsheng island at this time, if the surplus labor force is used for large-scale tobacco production, it really has a unique advantage

After careful consideration, Li Yuanqing suddenly laughed.

Existence is rationality.

If Li Yuanqing doesn't do it, someone will do it sooner or later.

Especially the aristocracy of Daming.

Instead of letting them waste their money on those illusory things, how can we let them circulate the silver in their hands to Li Yuanqing?

Large ~ tobacco leaves for the common people, fine leaves for them, slightly more refined packaging

In particular, Li Yuanqing was an old smoker in later generations. He was also very familiar with the Tao and formula

…………

In the next few days, Li Yuanqing was deeply involved in the busy.

The return of the fleet wanted to inject a stimulant into Changsheng island and the whole southern Liaoning Province.

Especially with the 4.5 million taels of silver in hand, Li Yuanqing's control over the people's mind and the overall situation will be stronger and more powerful.

However, the complicated entertainment and pacification work, but let Li Yuanqing want to split himself into half.

After five or six days of personal practice, Li Yuanqing gradually found out the way of his tobacco industry.The conference room of the military academy.

Three rows of carefully packed paper cigarettes were placed on the spacious table.

Each one is about half a foot or more, about 20 cm, and is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.

Besides, Chen Zhong, Shang Laoliu, Ma housekeeper, Xu Heizi, Huang Guoshan, Li Sansheng, Yang Xiaobo, and many other senior generals on the island were listed.

Li Yuanqing said to Yang Lei with a smile: "give each one to the brothers. Let's have a taste of it. "

Yang Lei hastened to divide the smoke himself. Soon, smoke began to surround the room.

Chen Zhong couldn't help laughing: "Yuanqing, how do I feel about this thing? It's better than a cigar. The smell of cigars is a little too strong. This is the same thing. It suits my taste. "

Shang Laoliu also said with a smile, "Yuanqing, Chen Shuai is right. The taste of cigars is too strong and heavy. If you have nothing to smoke, one is OK. If you have something to think about, take one for fear of headache. By the way, Yuanqing, how much is the cost of these cigarettes? "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "don't worry about silver. Let's try three grades of tobacco. What's the difference? "

After tasting it carefully, Li Sansheng said with a smile: "commander-in-chief, it's a feeling of being humble. The most inferior one is tobacco, which should be more grounded. It seems that there is something added to the main medium and superior tobacco, but it is not as pure as this inferior tobacco. "

Li Yuanqing laughed: "Sansheng, you are an expert. pretty good. Medium and high quality tobacco, indeed, has been improved. How do you feel? "

Chen Zhong said with a smile: "Yuanqing, I still prefer superior tobacco. Because the best tobacco is more fragrant and softer. To my temper. "

Housekeeper Ma said with a smile, "marshal, I prefer this medium-sized tobacco. What Chen Shuai and Shang ye said, it's just right to give consideration to them! "

All of them were excited and expressed their opinions. For a while, the atmosphere was very lively.

After the meeting, Chen Zhong quickly followed Li Yuanqing to the dormitory where they had a temporary rest. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Yuanqing, do you want to use this tobacco as an article?"

Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "what does big brother think?"

Chen Zhong said with a smile: "Yuanqing, it's good to make money. I just don't know what the cost is? "

Li Yuanqing a smile, "a cigar, almost equal to 20 high-quality tobacco."

"What?"

Chen Zhong was so stunned that he could not even dream that it was "Yuan Qing, you are not bluffing me, are you? Is there such a big gap? "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "big brother. In fact, the cost of this cigar may not be so exaggerated. It's just that most of the profits are in the hands of those Spaniards. Do you think it's not expensive? "

Chen Zhong also responded, but he frowned and said, "Yuanqing, I just don't know if we can grow these tobacco in Liaoning."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing.

From later generations, how could he not know whether tobacco could be planted here.

You know, in later generations, several large tobacco companies in Liaoning Province and Shandong Province, they were simply giant Even the average tobacco grower's annual income is at least twice, or even two or three times, than that of ordinary farmers.

However, at this time, in Changsheng island and southern Liaoning Province, Li Yuanqing was obviously not so quick, so he popularized the tobacco to the people.

After all, Daming is still a pure agricultural society.

Although Changsheng island has been commercialized severely, the key is that in this era, it is difficult to buy grain with silver.

Especially at critical times.

Because of the unique geographical advantages, the island is the best place to plant these things.

Otherwise, is it a waste of slave labor?

"Elder brother, I have already thought about it, but it's not mature yet. We can discuss it carefully."

…………

Tobacco business, although profiteering, but want to promote, still need time.

In this case, Li Yuanqing will not avoid Chen Zhong, because the situation at this time is not stable enough, and there are more places for Li Yuanqing to care about Chen Zhong's operation.

Li Yuanqing also needs something to tie Chen Zhong to his chariot more firmly.

In a flash, it has come to the end of February, and will enter the beginning of March.

After careful consideration, Li Yuanqing also wrote back to Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court.

In particular, Li Yuanqing wrote a lot of feelings about the letters of emperor Chongzhen.

In the letter, Li Yuanqing made it clear that because of years of fierce fighting and the outbreak of old injuries, his body has begun to expose many persistent diseases, which are extremely painful.

Li Yuanqing was no longer able to supervise the whole war in southern Liaoning. He hoped that emperor Chongzhen could choose other wise men to supervise the war in the Liao area, so as not to delay the country.

Although Changsheng island is a bitter and cold place, Li Yuanqing has accumulated years in Changsheng island and has adapted to the soil, water and climate here.With the emperor's permission, Li Yuanqing recuperated in Changsheng island and tried to recover. He tried to get well as soon as possible and serve the emperor again.

If the emperor has other plans, Li Yuanqing is willing to give up the location of Changsheng Island, only for the emperor to give him a warm climate, so that he can quietly cultivate his body.
