Ning Wuyan raised his wide sleeves and pulled out two palm-sized gray cloth bags.
The cloth bag exudes a special smell, somewhat similar to the pine leaves in incense, but the smell is more refreshing.
Jiang Yan perked up and was about to open it to check, when Ning Wuyan stuffed the bag back into his sleeve.
"It's getting late, Mr. Jiang, I'm going to find Mr. Su first."
Now is not the time to smoke out a cigarette and ask Jiang Yan to have a taste of it.
When Ning Wuyan turned around, he did not forget to remind Jiang Yan: "Sir Jiang, I'll thank you for posting the official list. After all, you are responsible for all the arrangements for the wounded soldiers. I don't think Mr. Su will interfere. .”
"That's fine."
Jiang Yan took a deep look at Ning Wuyan's sleeves.
In the end, he suppressed his curiosity and opened the bag to find out.
But there was still a trace of doubt in my heart.
"Jiang Yang, why doesn't Mr. Ning let us know how to use tobacco?"
In the past, Mr. Ning was always frank in his words and actions, explaining things thoroughly and doing things thoroughly.
Today he asked to check the tobacco, but he was put off. It was really puzzling.
Jiang Yang didn't think too much, but answered this question based on what Ning Wushu said.
"My lord, didn't Mr. Caining just say that this tobacco can't be used by everyone? It contains insecticidal toxicity. For people like alcoholics and those who are weak, using tobacco may have side effects."
"I'm just tired and don't look good these days. He said I'm weak. I can beat you and Jiang He by myself."
Jiang Yan took a deep breath and the faint smell of tobacco still remained. When he was still feeling disappointed that he could not try the taste of tobacco, he saw Jiang Yang's mouth twitching hard.
"But my lord, you are a drinker."
Jiang Yang didn't smell the smell of tobacco just now, and didn't understand why his master was suddenly so interested in tobacco for curing diseases.
Jiang Yan, who suddenly realized that he loved wine, quickly took a half step back and let out a breath.
He decided.
In order to be able to try the taste of tobacco when Mr. Ning brings it next time, he doesn't drink alcohol these days.
"Master Jiang, in addition to toilet water on the ox cart, Mr. Ning also specially sent ten kilograms of steamed wine. The man unloading the cart outside asked where to put it."
A soldier rushed in to report, swallowing his saliva with greed.
Jiang Yan, who had just made up his mind to quit drinking for a while, thought about the last time he drank Ningjia liquor. He weighed the options between liquor and tobacco for a moment, and finally made a decision.
"Move to my tent."
I don’t know when tobacco will be available again.
The wine jars were placed outside, so of course he chose the ones he could see and touch.
"First write the official list and post it. Once you find the tobacco seeds, sooner or later you can try how to eat this tobacco."
Jiang Yan sat down again and opened the official document. With the blessing of strong alcohol and tobacco, he felt like he had divine help when writing.
…
Ning Wuyan left the garrison and walked to the government office with the last ray of sunset.
After the yamen officer on duty in front of the door recognized him, he led him directly towards the yamen lobby without calling him.
"Mr. Ning, are you looking for Mr. Teruma or Mr. Governor?"
"Look for Mr. Su."
"Go forward to find Mr. Su, look for Mr. Teruma... He is testing everyone's martial arts in the martial arts arena. Mr. Ruoning is going to go and have a few good words for me."
Looking at the yamen servant's flattering smile, Ning Wuyang knew.
Not surprisingly, the second uncle took the job like a duck in water and began to train his own staff.
In addition to testing your strength, the martial arts examination is more important to establish your prestige and choose your confidants.
According to the second uncle's skills and the basic principle of selecting people, it must be that those who follow me will stay and those who go against me will wait and observe.
"Okay, if I have a chance to see my second uncle, I will tell him."
Faced with the request made by the yamen servant, Ning Wuhuang did not refuse.
After all, for a person like Yamen who is very discerning and wants to follow his second uncle, even if his martial arts skills are not up to standard, he will not be excluded based on his attitude and diligence.
The yamen servant was so happy that he kept saying nice things until he was only ten steps away from the lobby. He was afraid that Su Rui would see him, then he kept silent and called out to the guard standing at the door.
The movement outside did not attract the attention of Su Rui, who was working at his desk in the lobby.
Before Ning Wuyan entered the door, he smelled the smell of blood emanating from the lobby. His sharp eyes saw the dried black blood on the bench. Thinking of the beating he received with a cane, he hurriedly looked away.
"Mr. Ning, those were the people who beat up the Ye family to get them to confess. The Ye family's case has almost been investigated."
Guard Su Zhou specially explained.
Ning Wuyan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: After checking for so long, it's still just about right. It seems that Su Rui is determined to bring down a few more officials.
Needless to say, Su Rui has stayed in Jinling Mansion for so long, and Jiang Yan still has the official position of Changshi. He doubts whether the imperial court will change the permanent residence of Jiangnan Province Governor from annual patrols to Changshi. Stationed in Jinling.
"Mr. Ning, do you have anything important to do with the Governor?"
Su Zhou lowered his voice, knowing that Ning Wu was fine and would not go to the Three Treasures Hall.
If it's not something important, you can go directly to Jiang Yan.
"have."
Ning Wushan did not explain.
But after Su Zhou got the answer, he walked towards the lobby and whispered a few words in Su Rui's ear.
Su Rui quickly raised his head, put down the brush in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, squeezed out a few obvious smile lines on his thin face, and waved to Ning Wuhou.
"Mr. Ning, it's too hot outside, come in quickly."
As soon as he entered the lobby, the stuffy feeling made Ning Wuxu feel that it was better to stay outside.
Seeing that Suri was only wearing a single coat with patched elbows and knees, and the scribe next to him who was responsible for copying was also sweating profusely, he couldn't help but admire this hard-working and simple governor.
"Mr. Su, the price of ice is cheap now. Why not buy some ice and put it next to the desk and chair in the office?"
"Haha, even if such good things are cheaper per kilogram, they cost dozens of yuan. Wouldn't it be better to save this money to take care of people's livelihood? Anyway, I am old and not afraid of the heat."
Su Rui said she was not afraid of the heat, but the handkerchief she used to wipe her sweat was almost wet.
Ning Wuyang respected his choice and did not speak further on the matter. When Su Zhou moved a chair and sat next to Su Rui, he went straight to the topic under Su Rui's gaze. He took out two bags of cloth from his sleeves and took a look at them. Others in the lobby.
"Master Su, please step aside."
He didn't even mention the importance of this matter to Jiang Yan.
The scribes of the government are naturally not suitable to know.
Su Rui stroked his beard and smiled, waving towards the scribe who had his ears perked up.
"Go down, find a cool place to escape the heat, and come back after dinner."
"Thank you for your understanding."
After the scribe left.
Su Rui asked Su Zhou to guard the door, and then took the initiative to pull the chair under his butt in the direction of Ning Wuyan. He stopped when he was less than a foot away, and suddenly smelled the smell emanating from the cloth bag.
"What is this?"
"Yunfei, go guard the back door."
Ning Wuyan's careful arrangement made Su Rui's eyes flash with a bright light.
In his impression, Ning Wuhuang was a straightforward person, because those things were not a big deal to Ning Wuhuang.
The last time Ning Wuyan did something so mysterious was when he sent someone to the perfume shop to dismantle the still and present the wine recipe.
This made him wonder whether the contents of these two cloth bags, like the still, could produce a secret recipe for revitalizing a certain industry.
Although none of the industries currently available are as good as the wine industry, they are better than nothing.
What's more, this is Ning Wuhuang's patriotism, and he will never dislike it.
Su Rui adjusted her mood, put on a kind and gratifying smile on her face, and patiently repeated the question she just asked.
"Mr. Ning, what is this that makes you so nervous?"
