"If the medicine book is still there, there should be many usable medicinal materials in it."
Suri made no secret of her distress and frowned so hard that she could pick up a fly.
At this time.
Su Rui suddenly discovered that the mosquitoes and flies that had been flying around his ears suddenly disappeared.
"In addition to its medicinal value, cigarettes can also repel mosquitoes and insects."
Ning Wuyan added a little more about the benefits of cigarettes.
Su Rui's eyes suddenly glowed, and he couldn't put it down even more for the cigarette in his hand.
This is really a treasure!
He calmed down his excitement, thought of business, and asked in a tentative tone with a low smile: "Mr. Ning, do you plan to sell these cigarettes?"
"It's not me who sells it, it's the imperial court who sells it."
Ning Wuyan didn't intend to go around in circles and directly pushed the two cloth bags on the table in front of Su Rui.
"Master Su should understand the importance of tobacco better than I do. It is no less than steamed wine, and the value it brings is immeasurable. Although Ning loves money, he also knows that he cannot compete with the country for profit."
"So, when I thought about the prescription of tobacco and got it in kind, I thought about handing it over to the court. And in order to set an example, I specially found only 1,200 kilograms of seeds. In addition to letting Zhuangzi go to Except for the flower farmers who have tried planting, they will never grow a tobacco plant."
Ning Wuchang said this.
Suri was stunned.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say some words of praise, but felt that no words at this time were enough to praise Ning Wuhuang's act of offering tobacco.
This is not just a recipe for steaming wine, just like a recipe for offering wine.
Ning Wuhuang has handed over all the roots of tobacco to the court. If he wants to smoke in the future, he will have to buy them.
So determined, so loyal, even Suri felt that he couldn't catch him.
"Mr. Ning is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he is truly a role model for us!"
Su Rui stood up, bowed to Ning Wuyan, and bent his waist.
Ning Wuyang accepted this gift humbly.
Because he does have other ways to bring the tobacco business to the Ning family, such as cooperating with the Shen family, which has a large family.
Or, using public opinion to control public opinion and cooperate with the imperial court, as long as the imperial court is given enough benefits, and coupled with his status as a pioneer, I believe the old emperor will not have any objections.
The reason why he simply handed over the tobacco directly was because he was worried that the old emperor would be suspicious of the Ning family and cause unnecessary trouble.
It can be regarded as a kind of compensation for the old emperor's upcoming loss of his beloved grandson.
"Mr. Su, let's not say any compliments. Because tobacco is prone to diseases and insect pests, and because it is a seed obtained from maritime trade, it is very precious. Can you use 1,200 kilograms of seeds to find a suitable planting method? These things, Master Laosu will still have to deal with it."
Mention the seeds again.
Su Rui keenly sensed where Ning Wushuang focused his attention.
"Seeds obtained from maritime trade? Mr. Ning means to ask His Majesty to send a ship to find tobacco seeds?"
"It's possible, but the time spent searching for seeds cannot be wasted. My plan is to transport some of the seeds and tobacco to the capital, ask the professional agricultural department to find a planting method, and ask the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital to decide on tobacco. specific medicinal value.”
Ning Wuyan's careful arrangements made Su Rui appreciate him even more.
Su Rui nodded like a fool, suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, and he followed the trend: "Mr. Ning is right, it's just about the tobacco matter, and others don't know about it. I might have to trouble Mr. Ning to do it himself."
It's time for Ning Wuhuang to go to see the saint!
Su Rui was afraid that Ning Wuyan would give him another "child steward", so he put the matter aside and said in a persuasive way: "Tobacco is of great use to the country. Where can you get its seeds? What about its medicinal value? How about the medicinal value?" It will be difficult to convince His Majesty if he is not familiar with it.”
"But... the martial arts exam will be held in one and a half months."
Ning Wuchang pretended to decline.
Suri slapped the gavel suddenly.
Snapped!
Ning Wuyang was startled. He plucked his ears and said in a dumbfounded voice, "Master Su, please don't get angry yet..."
"I'm not angry. I think you don't distinguish between priorities. At worst, I'll ask His Majesty for a special order. After you go to the capital to donate tobacco, you can come back and take a make-up exam. Why do you attach so much importance to this martial arts exam? , do you still want to take the martial arts exam?"
Not really.
Ning Wuyang thought: I'm not afraid that if I agree directly, you will suspect that I love Daxing too much and my purpose is not pure.
"Since Mr. Su said this, in a few days, Princess Xian's ten thousand bottles of perfume will be escorted to Jing'an City. She will send those goods out of Jiangnan Road, so I just want her to give me a ride."
Ning Wuyan stood up and bowed to Su Rui.
"Tobacco and seeds are extremely precious. To ensure safety, I ask the governor to quietly allocate some elite soldiers to me that day and send people to support me on the road."
"In addition, because seeds are not easy to come by, I have asked Magistrate Jiang to issue a list to search for seeds. In order to prevent people from hoarding rare goods, I only explained that it is used to treat rheumatism and bone pain in wounded soldiers, and asked Mr. Su to help cover it up. "
Suri naturally had no objection to his treatment.
After all, not every businessman is as ambitious as Ning Wushuang. On the contrary, many people do not want to gain anything.
Knowing that tobacco has such huge value, there are definitely many people who dare to take risks to snatch the seeds and want to secretly grow them privately.
only.
"Mr. Ning is too cautious. Why do you have to be with Princess Xian?"
Mention this issue.
Ning Wuchang seems to have something to hide, but stops talking.
Finally, he sighed: "I told Mr. Su last time that someone hired a killer to take my head from my neck. I wonder if Mr. Su has kept it in mind?"
Of course!
When Su Rui thought about it, he not only kept it in mind but asked someone to check it out, but nothing was found.
He also specifically wrote it into the memorial.
"Mr. Ning, please rest assured. I have reported this matter to His Majesty. I believe it won't be long before His Majesty will issue an order to transfer Anhou back to the capital..."
"Then I'd better leave before An Hou leaves, so as not to bump into him again. Don't turn around and let the killer take his life, and then die of other crimes. If you want to incriminate him, why bother?"
Ning Wuyan didn't answer Su Rui's previous question about being together.
But he didn't need to elaborate, Suri already understood.
Princess Xian has great martial arts skills, is a third-grade princess, and is a descendant of the royal family.
In order to avoid conflict with Zhou An, Ning Wuhuang chose to go with Princess Xian for a while.
As long as Zhou An is avoided, tobacco and seeds can be transported to the capital safely.
Mr. Ning, he is willing to take a step back for the sake of a big thing!
"Mr. Ning, please rest assured. I will definitely select the best soldiers in Jiangnan Province to escort you!"
Su Ruike didn't care whether the enemy he faced was a killer or an Anhou.
He only knew that as the governor of Jiangnan Province and an important minister of the emperor, he would do some things even if they would displease the emperor.
Seeing that Su Rui fully understood his "difficulties", Ning Wuyan breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Su Rui with clasped fists: "Thank you Master Su, it's just for the confidentiality of the tobacco matter, and with the presence of Princess Xian, it's also We don’t need that many manpower, fifty people are enough.”
"so little?"
Su Rui could not wait to mobilize all the governor's officers and soldiers and government officials he could to protect Ning Wuchang's trip.
Quite a few.
If there is more, Zhou Anke will not dare to show his face, scaring away the big fish. If Zhou An is allowed to return to Jing'an City, he will not have a second chance to kill Zhou An in this life.
And Zhou An was not the eldest son of Prince Jin, but because of the old emperor's favor, he was granted the title of Marquis An. Maybe one day when Prince Jin is done playing, the young Marquis will still be alive and want to take his life at any time.
Therefore, if this matter is either not done or done, Zhou An must not be able to leave a way out.
Details determine success or failure. The number of people can only be less than Zhou An's, never more!
Ning Wuyang smiled calmly: "These men are just to deter the killers. They can't kill people knowing that they are protected by the government. Wouldn't that mean they are not giving face to the court?"
