1896 Tobacco

 Looking at Xiao Han who was standing on the bamboo building, sniffing the sweet fragrance in the air, Pu Pu's eyes behind him suddenly became trance-like.

He vaguely noticed that Xiao Han seemed to be waiting for something, but he didn't know exactly what he was waiting for!

But there is a feeling in the dark, as if a huge conspiracy is brewing on this young man.

This feeling is very real! Almost exactly the same as the one a few days ago!

And after that incident, a huge event occurred where Xunfu, Nankang Mansion, and Nanyi Mansion all changed their appearance!

Before this, who would have thought that several big families that dominated Lingnan would change their owners overnight!

Although they all declared to the outside world that this was a family matter of their own clan, and even the people who came to power were not outsiders, anyone who was not blind could see that the three so-called family heads were all puppet-like figures! There was someone behind them

An invisible hand is controlling their every move!

Don’t hear, don’t ask, don’t move!

This was the order that Pupu immediately issued to his people when he first learned of the news!

At that time, he was already keenly aware of how deep the water inside was!

In fact, his choice was the right one.

Those who were defeated in the family power struggle also tried to find other native Lingnan ethnic groups after seeking Miao villages to no avail.

A few of them decided to send the young men of the clan to help because of their previous friendship, but in the end, none of the people they sent came back!

The three mansions are completely over!

The trauma caused by the previous "internal fighting" has not yet healed, and he has also formed a deadly feud with a large number of Lingnan native tribesmen!

As expected, within three years at most, the Sanfu Yamen that used to dominate one area will become a thing of the past and be silently swept into the trash can by history.

And when all this came back to Gupu's ears, the first figure that came to his mind was the young man in front of him!

Although, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Xiao Han to control all of this, but Pu Pu firmly believes that this matter is absolutely inseparable from him!

"How can we help?"

This is the second time that Pu Pu has asked this question, but compared to the first time, his tone this time was obviously much more sincere.

"Hahaha, no need!"

Xiao Han's answer was the same as before, and the smile on his face also revealed a strong confidence!

"Okay, if there is anything we, the Miao family, need help with, as long as it is not excessive, we will do our best!" Pu Pu also smiled!

He admitted that he had dealt with so many Han family members over the years, and the one in front of him must be the strangest one!

"Huh? Wait! When you say that, it seems like I really have something to ask of you!"

Unfortunately, just when the smile on Pu Pu's face had not completely subsided, Xiao Han in front of him suddenly turned his head and looked at him steadily as if he had thought of something.

"What...what happened?"

Suddenly seeing the burning look in Xiao Han's eyes, Gupu's heart skipped a beat, and he just wished he could give him a slap on the spot!

You act like a wolf with a big tail! Why did you forget that you are in front of a master who doesn't act according to common sense? Why should you be polite when you have nothing to do? Now it's better, he is really in trouble! Do you want to help or not?

"Hehe, it's not a big deal!"

Xiao Han didn't notice the panic deep in Gupu's eyes, he still touched his chin and smiled! That smile made Gupu's heart tremble, as if he was recalling something, he waved his hand quickly: "Let's talk first! My daughter is still here

Not old enough to get married!”

"Ahem, who said you want your daughter to get married!" Xiao Han almost choked to death on the spot with a mouthful of saliva. After coughing twice, he rolled his eyes again and thought, does he look like a pervert?

Why no matter where you go, people will misunderstand that you want to steal someone else's daughter!

"No?" When Pu Pu saw Xiao Han's appearance, he felt relieved a little. As long as it wasn't about this, it would be fine! Like other things, he could politely refuse because of his lack of ability!

"No!" Xiao Han shook his head seriously, and while gesticulating, he said to Gupu: "I want to ask you to help me find a kind of grass that can bloom small yellow flowers! It must be half a person tall, with leaves

It is broad, has hairs on its leaves, and its flowers look like small bells. The smell when lit is intoxicating!"

Xiao Han said what he wanted to ask for word by word, and Xiao Han was afraid that Pu Pu would miss a little bit of it!

That's right, what Xiao Han is looking for is tobacco! As an old smoker in his previous life, his persistence in tobacco is definitely deep in his bones!

In the past, he had sent people to Sichuan and Lingnan to look for this kind of tobacco leaf, which is said to be native to China. Unfortunately, he spent a lot of money and many people, but in the end he returned without success! Now he is here in person, plus

The leader of the Miao family responded to every call in front of him! He couldn't believe that he couldn't find this little tobacco leaf!

"Why are you looking for that kind of thing? Is it useful?" Xiao Han was shocked by Xiao Han's request and was speechless for a long time. When he came to his senses, Gupu asked with a constipated look on his face! Such a good opportunity, even if you

It’s better to ask for something else, to ask for manpower and beautiful women, than to ask for a piece of straw!

"Yes, it's very important!" However, Xiao Han turned a blind eye to Gupu's look at the prodigal son, and still nodded vigorously and said: "It can exchange money, and it can exchange a lot of money, more money than making sugar!"

"Gah..."

Pu Pu is crazy!

Because he asked everyone in the village to stop what they were doing and go up the mountain to cut grass! Soon, the entire Miao village became a world of weeds! Countless grasses of all kinds filled the village.

Every gap was spared, even the roof of the bamboo house was left untouched. Several piles of it were exposed in the sun!

Just when Xiao Han was struggling in the sea of ​​weeds, the real Dahai Liuqiu came.

Here, many pirates were summoned again to start the second negotiation.

Different from the first meeting in a somewhat dark cabin, this time everyone came to the island for a meeting in a courtyard.

This villa on the island is very new. It was built by young people on the island two years ago. It was originally intended to be a villa where you could stay for a few days and have a rest when you have nothing to do.

, I didn’t expect that it would come in handy today.

After receiving the invitation from the young man, there were not as many people in the small courtyard that day as there were in the cabin last time, because last time some people had already quietly left after learning about the collapse of Xunfu in the past two days.

here.

The young man also knew that these people were leaving, but he did not take any action! Because he knew that even if these people stayed, they would still be a hidden danger, so it was better to take advantage of this opportunity and let them leave on their own.

According to the bimonthly "Zhang Jian Newsletter" published on December 20, 1939: "Tobacco cultivation in China dates back to before the Han Dynasty. By the Han Dynasty, officials had been set up to take charge of taxation." However, because there is too little evidence, this is not the case.

Things are still doubtful.
