Chapter 1295 Father-in-law please smoke

"Come on the order of Your Majesty?" Yang Feng said unhappily: "I just came out of the palace. Eunuch Wei, don't cover me."

"Our family dares not deceive the prince." Wei Zhongxian said with a smile, looking like a kind old man in the countryside. If his appearance is to make people familiar with him see it, he will definitely be shocked. This is not the ruthless and murderous Nine Thousand Years.

"Don't dare?"

Yang Feng's face was full of disbelief.

Seeing Yang Feng's expression, Wei Zhongxian felt so depressed. He thought that since Eunuch Wei took office, no one who had seen him was respectful except the emperor. Even the chief minister of the cabinet had to give him some face on the surface. He never thought that as soon as he entered the door, this man would not give him a good look. He looked like a stingy local rich man with a disgusting expression facing a poor relative who came to fight Qiufeng.

If it were someone else, Wei Zhongxian would have let him know how many eyes Mr. Ma had, but when he met Yang Feng, he had to swallow his anger: "Duke Xinguo, if you don't believe in our family, you can go and ask His Majesty another day to see if our family is lying!"

"Hahaha……"

Yang Feng laughed and patted Wei Zhongxian on the shoulder: "Don't blame Eunuch Wei, I am just joking with you. Don't take it to heart."

After saying that, he said seriously: "Okay, what's wrong? Eunuch Wei can say."

Wei Zhongxian was about to speak, but found that the atmosphere he had just created was gone, and he forgot most of the draft he had made. He suddenly woke up. This guy was definitely doing it on purpose just now. He was trying to disrupt the rhythm of the conversation.

When I thought of this, Wei Zhong's heart immediately became alert. This guy Yang Feng was so bad that he was digging a hole for people every move.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian, who had originally wanted to be a nine thousand-year-old air, no longer had that little carelessness and said simply: "Just just now, Your Majesty summoned our family to Kunning Palace. Your Majesty told us that we will follow you in the next few days. Just ask our family to do something. You can't let you do it yourself. Do you understand?"

"I told you to do it." Yang Feng was immediately happy when he heard this. It seemed that Comrade Xiao Zhu was afraid of causing trouble, so he specially shot Wei Zhongxian to arrow himself.

"Nine thousand years old, you are the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor and the governor of the East Factory. You actually came to follow me and listen to my instructions. If the civil and military ministers in the court saw this, I would not be able to explain it even if I was full of my mouth. You are not helping me, but hurting me."

"Do you think our family thinks." Wei Zhongxian felt so wronged. He thought that his dignified nine thousand years old, and he had to listen to the orders of a duke. This was simply bullying. However, when he thought of the money he had obtained from his own fleet in Japan in the past two years, the money he had obtained from Nanyang was nothing.

"Eunuch Wei, since you are here, let's make a good decision. I haven't been in the court for a long time, so some things are not clear. I wonder what the remnants of the Lin Party in the Middle East of the Dynasty are now?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Since the fight against Huang Liji and Gao Panlong as the leader, the Donglin Party has been much lower-key in the past two years. However, with Qian Qianyi's comeback, these people gradually moved closer to Qian Qianyi. However, this guy is low-key in his behavior, and his family has been avoided by him when they want to cause trouble for him several times."

"The water is too cold, Qian Qianyi?" Yang Feng blurted out.

"The water is too cold?" Wei Zhongxian was stunned and said in confusion: "Dude, what does this mean?"

"Oh... nothing, just talk casually." Yang Feng waved his hand. Qian Qianyi's water cold joke has not been released yet. He said it in advance now, so Wei Zhongxian was naturally confused when he heard it.

"Okay, let's talk about business." Yang Feng took out a box of Huanghelou from his pocket, and gently flicked his fingers at the bottom of the cigarette box. A cigarette flew out of the cigarette box and he held it in his mouth. He habitually handed the cigarette box to Wei Zhongxian.

After he handed over the cigarette box, he remembered that Eunuch Wei probably didn't smoke. He probably expressed his wrong feelings. He smiled embarrassedly and was about to take it back. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up. He reached out and pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Then he escaped from the lighter. With a "pop", the flames were angry. After taking a long breath, he skillfully spit out a cigarette ring. Then he exclaimed.

"It is worthy of being a good cigarette for His Majesty and the Duke of the Kingdom. It is much better than the goods sold on the market." After saying that, Wei Zhongxian vomited another cigarette ring in his mouth.

Yang Feng was a little confused and asked tentatively: "Eunuch Wei also smokes?"

Wei Zhongxian looked like you don’t look down on others: “How rare, our family now smokes a pack of cigarettes every day. Especially after the meal, it’s even more that the gods don’t change when they come.”

Looking at Wei Zhongxian with an intoxicated face, Yang Feng couldn't believe his eyes for a moment. If he had returned to modern society and told those Ming history experts that our beloved Eunuch Wei not only looked amiable, but also a smoker. I guess those experts would be scared silly.

Wei Zhongxian sighed again, "But it's a pity. The best cigarettes that can be bought on the market are Furong King, Yuxi, Huangshan and Diamonds with ten taels of silver per pack. Only this Yellow Crane Tower has no goods. Our family only occasionally ate a few cigarettes from His Majesty, which is really not satisfying. If some are sold, we will buy even a box of fifty taels of silver."

"I……"

Yang Feng was speechless. He was originally worried that if people in the modern world knew that a box of 20 or 30 yuan of Furong King was bought by him at a sky-high price of ten taels of silver per box in this time and space, would he make him unable to take care of himself? But what did this person say now? He actually said that he would rather spend fifty taels of silver to buy the Yellow Crane Tower in his hand.

Eunuch Wei, do you have any misunderstandings about money?

Fifty taels of silver are enough for an ordinary family of five to live for a year. If you save some money, it is not impossible. Are you willing to buy a box of cigarettes at this price?

Cigarettes were originally a profitable industry. Otherwise, in the original modern society, the country would not have listed the tobacco industry as the national defense, oil, railways, salt and other industries as the same level, and it has never been open to the public.

The reason why the Royal Trading Company of the Ming Dynasty paid Zhu Youxiao four or five million taels of silver every year is because the Royal Trading Company of the Ming Dynasty monopolized almost all the tobacco industry in the Ming Dynasty, and almost all the cigarettes were produced by the Royal Trading Company of the Ming Dynasty.
