The sun is just right and the breeze is not dry.
After a pleasant heart-to-heart talk, the uncle and nephew finally decided not to pursue whose fault it was.
Mainly because Lan Yu was lame and couldn't catch up, and Fang Jingzhi was really afraid of being beaten.
Each person had a big cigar and puffed away the smoke happily.
A world where only one person was injured was achieved. Lan Yong knelt in the corner and looked at the two of them eagerly, as if they were an uncle and a nephew.
Fang Jingzhi picked up the huozhezi on the table and helped Lan Yu light the cigarette: "Uncle, do you know who is the person who framed me behind my back?"
Lan Yu stepped forward and imitated Fang Jingzhi's example, lighting the cigarette in her hand.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "Don't worry about this matter, I will definitely give you justice!"
The meaning is very clear. The person behind it is very well-connected, and you can't afford to offend him.
After Lan Yu finished speaking, he deliberately changed the subject.
He smacked his lips twice, looked at the cigarette in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
"My eldest nephew, your little stick is pretty good. Give me some more when you leave later. I'll give some to Wei Guogong and the others to try!"
When you have good things, don't forget those old seniors and friends in the army, this is Sapphire.
A guy who seems to be a reckless man, but is actually very affectionate and righteous.
Fang Jingzhi said: "Uncle Lan wants it, of course it is available. My nephew will do more in a while."
"But Uncle Lan didn't have any ideas when he saw this thing?"
Lan Yu looked at him puzzled.
"What big idea can this little flaming stick have?"
Fang Jingzhi asked in confusion: "Uncle Lan, what do you think of this cigarette?"
Lan Yu took a puff, raised her head and closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the smoke passing through her lungs, and then exhaled.
"It's very good, it's very comfortable to smoke!"
"now it's right!"
Fang Jingzhi said happily: "This thing is not only comfortable, but it can also have other wonderful uses, such as reading books, arranging military strategies, and handling official duties. If you light one like this, you will be relieved!"
"Uncle Lan, think about it, if Duke Wei likes such a good thing after smoking it, you have already sent it to Duke Wei. Why don't you give some to the prince to try? If the prince likes it, your majesty will have less of it. Your majesty likes it." , How can those noble ministers in the DPRK like it!"
Strange and obscene techniques to seduce the king, boy, what are you going to do!
Lan Yu cheered up.
"Uncle Lan, this is a big business!" Fang Jingzhi said.
As soon as the small cigarette roll was rolled out, Fang Jingzhi knew that a big deal to make money was coming.
So I have been thinking about how to operate this matter, and Lan Yu is the top priority in this operation.
It is also an important step in Plan A to save Sapphire.
Upon hearing about the big deal, Lan Yu was immediately discouraged.
"My eldest nephew, can you not do this business?"
Almost everyone knows how Lao Zhu treats businessmen. As a military general, if you still engage in business, you are not seeking death.
Even Lan Yu wanted Fang Jingzhi to close his soap shop, and he also wanted to send Fang Jingzhi to the East Palace to work for the prince!
Don't delay your future just because of a little money.
How could Fang Jingzhi not know Lao Zhu's attitude towards businessmen, so he planned to give Lao Zhu a shock.
Let this rigid and stubborn old guy experience a critical attack from the modern world.
It is true that the wealthy businessmen of the Hongwu Dynasty had a difficult life. Their homes were confiscated at every turn, and they moved to other places at every turn.
He even lost the good job of delivering food to the frontier to a businessman.
In Lao Zhu's eyes, the people he needs to take care of are only those farmers who plow the fields honestly and diligently.
As a result, the Ming Dynasty was a real agricultural tax country. The commercial tax was 1 in 30, and the land tax rate reached 5% to 10%.
The love is deep and the responsibility is deep. Lao Zhu loves the hard-working people too much.
Therefore, I must let you know that businessmen need your love more, and they need you to love them more thoroughly.
Of course, this young master, the bell ringer, does not belong to this category.
The tax revenue brought by cigarettes in later generations can be tens of thousands every year.
Fang Jingzhi also wanted to do this in Ming Dynasty and enjoy the pleasure of doing monopoly business.
And all of this requires Lan Yu's cooperation.
Immediately, Fang Jingzhi told Lan Yu all his plans.
This made Lan Yu speechless.
Come on, my mother-in-law, can I still do this business?
Has it been accomplished or is it a major event that benefits the country and the people?
Just this little thing, can the brothers in the army eat meat every day?
You kid, aren’t you fooling my uncle?
"Of course not!" Fang Jingzhi explained: "What we sell is not cigarettes, but brands."
"Just like the one we have in our hands, it only costs two tobacco leaves!"
Fang Jingzhi said, taking a small box from the house, which he had made in his spare time.
One thick and one thin, two cigars, and some cut tobacco.
He tried to use paper to make the appearance of later cigarettes, but unfortunately the paper of this era was not suitable.
Even the best rice paper has a strong smell when smoked.
So I had to settle for the next best thing and think about getting the pipe out later.
"Uncle, look, these two big tobacco leaves are enough, and one small one is enough. The remaining leftovers can be made into shredded tobacco!"
"As for this big one, let's call it the General. We should put it in the most exquisite wooden box. There are ten pieces in a box, and one piece will cost him a lot."
"In addition, we also need to set up a special edition. For example, if the one drawn by His Majesty is marked with a logo, it is called the Gold Award General. Your Majesty loves it. It is not a big deal to sell you ten coins. There is also the one drawn by the Prince, which is called the Silver Award General. General, buy a Wuguan, the others are similar..."
"We want to be conscientious businessmen. Common people only have a few dollars. I have always looked down on poor people like them. Our goal is to be wealthy and wealthy households."
After all, Fang Jingzhi explained clearly to Lan Yu the future marketing strategies.
Hearing this, Lan Yu's scalp felt numb again.
I'll be a good boy, my eyes will be opened, my eyes will be opened.
It doesn't really matter how you trade, what matters is how much benefit you can bring.
How many benefits can be distributed to the right people?
"But is this possible? Can the Queen and Your Majesty agree?" Lan Yu was a little doubtful of Fang Jingzhi's plan.
Fang Jingzhi's plan was so big that it calculated on everyone, including the emperor, the empress, and most importantly, the emperor's grandson.
These are almost the three most noble people in the Ming Dynasty. Even the prince is ranked behind these few people.
"Whether you can do it or not, it depends on you, Uncle Lan!" Fang Jingzhi persuaded her earnestly.
"Besides, I didn't ask you to go to His Majesty. Just go to the Emperor's Sun directly and ask him to write a sign. If anyone dares to compete with us for business."
"Uncle Lan, think about it, we are doing this business for ourselves, for the sake of the soldiers, and for the common people in the world."
"Anyway, whether brothers can eat meat depends on how powerful you, the Marquis of Yongchang, can do."
"If you are willing to leave the brothers homeless and have the army eat dry food every day, then I don't have a problem with it!"
This is already a sure kill.
Fang Jingzhi didn't believe that Lan Yu could still refuse to submit after he unleashed his ultimate move.
Lan Yu felt that her head was a little confused. Was it for their own good to make money from them?
"My nephew, aren't you trying to trick me?" Lan Yu still couldn't believe it.
This really challenged his cognition.
Fang Jingzhi looked angry: "What are you saying, uncle? Of course it is for their own good. Do you think I am doing it for myself? Uncle, you have disappointed me so much!"
"I originally thought that you, uncle, were a great hero who dared to sacrifice everything for the people of Li. I didn't expect that you, the dignified blue jade... ah..."
"Uncle, please go away, just pretend that we have never met..."
"Forget it about marriage, it's not suitable..."
"Eldest nephew, don't, don't, we can talk about anything else, this marriage can't be dirty!" Lan Yu hurriedly comforted Fang Jingzhi.
It was agreed just now that he didn't have to worry about anything, and his eldest nephew would take care of Lan Caiwei himself.
This may be related to your future happy life.
"But we are afraid that the Queen will not agree!" Lan Yu was still a little worried.
"It doesn't matter, we are doing all this, you have to know, there is a premise, it is for the old soldiers who are old and homeless, we are doing it for love!" Fang Jingzhi looked at Lan Yu with some hatred for iron.
"Let's see, old uncle, you go and open a restaurant first, just selling hot pot. This saves trouble and doesn't require a chef."
"As for the waiters in the shop, you can choose from the old people in the village. If you don't have good arms and legs, you should have weak bones. Take the time to bring Empress Huang Sungen to have a meal and show them. How hard these veterans are living, the important thing to tell them is that it is because these veterans are unwilling to accept charity from others and have to rely on their own hands to live, so you were forced to open such a store to find a place for them to relax. work to support the family..."
"When the time comes, tell the veterans to be tough. You must be tough. Seeing that the empress and the emperor are almost moved, come up with our cigarette plan and ensure that 10% of your share is used to build care for the veterans every year. Si, ask the empress to be the chief official, and send someone in the palace to manage the money..."
"..."
Lan Yu left, in a daze, carrying a large box of cigarettes. She didn't even know how Lan Yong was dumped by Fang Jingzhi.
All I can think about is one thing.
Tobacco, veteran, royal grandson, business empire.
Make a lot of money yourself and benefit the country and the people...
