Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

"Old Li, why are you here so early?"

Su Yu came here smoking a cigarette and puffing out clouds.

The time has passed, and it stands to reason that it is not too early.

But for Su Yu, this is the time to sleep.

Seeing Su Yu smoking, Li Shimin became addicted to smoking.

The last time Hua Zi smoked with Su Yu in Yizhou City for more than half a year, after returning to Chang'an City, Li Shimin quit for a while.

It's not because smoking is harmful to health, but Su Yu often sells out Li Shimin's stock, and when he wants to smoke, he doesn't. It's so sad, it's like being punished.

Before Li Shimin could say anything, Cheng Yaojin got up first, stretched out his hand and said to Su Yu, "Boy, give me one."

Su Yu took out a Huazi and gave it to him.

He took the lighter and clicked it.

call.
Cheng Yaojin blew out a smoke ring, and said happily: "I said that I didn't bring any cigarettes when I went out this morning."

"Now I can't live without it every day. I have to smoke a cigarette after eating, and I have to smoke when I go to the toilet."

Smoking in the toilet has two benefits. The first is to dispel the smell, and the second is to relax. Only when you relax can you go to the toilet.

Li Shimin listened to what Cheng Yaojin meant, does he smoke every day?
"Boy, I am your father-in-law, and you actually give him cigarettes, but not me?"

"what do you mean?"

Li Shimin said unhappily.

Su Yu approached, spit out a bubble, and said with a smile: "Lao Li, he gave you money, and you want it every time you open your mouth with red lips and white teeth, why should I give it to you?"

After Cheng Yaojin returned to Chang'an City, he became addicted to cigarettes within two days.

When he arrived at Sujiazhuang, he negotiated a good price and made regular purchases.

Li Shimin has the habit of paying nothing, relying on himself as the emperor and father-in-law, he doesn't give money for what he takes.

Su Yu was naturally unwilling to give it to Li Shimin.

"It's just a few cigarettes, what are they worth?"

Li Shimin said angrily.

He said angrily in his heart: "It's unreasonable for a majestic emperor to ask you to light cigarettes and still charge money."

Su Yu threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, and said contemptuously: "What do you know, I smoked Huazi for you, it's expensive."

"This 500 copper coin is cheap for you."

Li Shimin was stunned by the words, without saying a word, as if he was stupid.

Su Yu lay down, comfortably.

Princess Changle thought that Li Shimin was too angry to speak, so she quickly helped Li Shimin to sit down.

"Husband, you really are, the family is so clear."

"Give me a cigarette, and I'll light it for my father."

Princess Changle opened her mouth, and Su Yu took out a pack of cigarettes and threw it over.

Changle took it, took out one, and put the cigarette case in his pocket.

Su Yu secretly smiled: My daughter is so stingy, I only give one.

"Come on, Royal Father smokes one, I'm not angry anymore."

Chang Le smiled and ordered Li Shimin.

This tone is like coaxing a child.

Cheng Yaojin and He Meng watched funny.

Li Shimin took the cigarette, took two puffs, and suddenly said: "Boy, is this thing really so profitable?"

Su Yu squinted his eyes and responded slightly: "This thing is huge profits. Tobacco, wine and tea are all profit-making industries. In modern society, tobacco is a monopoly, and only stores are allowed to operate it. And it must be owned by the imperial court, and private individuals are not allowed to operate it."

Tobacco companies in modern society are imperial enterprises, and local prefects strictly control the inflow of tobacco from other places.

Only brick-and-mortar stores are allowed to sell cigarettes, and the Internet is absolutely prohibited. If anyone sells cigarettes online, it is illegal, and it is basically certain that they are counterfeit cigarettes.

Tobacco monopoly is the same as salt and iron monopoly. The profiteering industry has been in the hands of the imperial court since ancient times, and the assholes have retreated.

Li Shimin took a puff of a cigarette and asked thoughtfully, "Such a good business, why don't we do it?"

Li Shimin found another good business.

Su Yu thought about it, and it was indeed a good deal.

Sell ​​the tobacco seeds, and then buy them back and process them. There are a lot of bamboo paper.

"It's a good business, let the people from the household department do it."

"I'll give you the tobacco seeds and divide them into [-] or [-] pieces."

Su Yu said lightly.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "No, no, no, three to seven."

"Everything is done by me, why is it only [-]%?"

In the past, for the sake of Changle and Xiao Sizi, Su Yu gave Li Shimin a share of Sanqi, and this guy is used to it.

Su Yu smiled slightly: "Old Li, do you know how profitable it is?"

"This cigarette sells for [-] copper coins, but the cost is only [-] copper coins. You can do the math yourself."

"It's [-]%, it's already a friendship price, if you negotiate the price again, I'll only give you [-]%."

With such a large profit, it's not bad to give him [-]%, what else do you want.

Cheng Yaojin was drooling at the side.

He is illiterate, but he can know how much profit a cigarette makes, just by listening to it.

For example, although the illiterate cannot read, they can count a few dollars.

Cheng Yaojin quickly said: "I cooperate with you, only [-]%, [-]%."

Seeing that Cheng Yaojin dared to cut him off, Li Shimin said angrily, "Cheng Mangfu, dare to compete with me for business, I don't want to live anymore."

Cheng Yaojin backed away in fright.

"It's not that the emperor thinks too little."

After Cheng Yaojin stepped back, he did not forget to mutter a few words.

Di Renjie hurriedly pulled Cheng Yaojin to sit elsewhere.

Being disturbed by Cheng Yaojin, Li Shimin felt that [-]% was okay.

"Okay, [-] to [-] percent."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and agreed.

Su Yu smiled and said, "He Meng, go find the black-bone chicken and ask her to give you the seeds, which are in the warehouse."

He Meng took the order to go to Princess Wuji to get the seeds.

Although Li Shimin was unwilling, he was secretly happy.

This time I did not come in vain, but I am glad that I have done a good business.

The cost of smoking 500 copper coins is only 30 copper coins, and the profit is inhuman.

When Su Yu said this, he was naturally talking about high-end cigarettes. As for low-end cigarettes, the profit is less.

Chang Le and Xiao Sizi smiled happily at the side.

"Father is earning money for our family again."

"Keep your voice down, you will be angry if your father hears it."

The two princesses giggled and laughed.

After smoking a cigarette, Li Shimin asked: "Boy, West Turkic has been looking for work for you time and time again, and this time it even blocked your way home. Don't you intend to give them some flair?"

The purpose of coming this time is to talk about the Western Turks and ask Su Yu when he plans to go.

How could Su Yu not know what was going on in Li Shimin's mind, he wanted to irritate himself.

"I'm not in a hurry, they are causing trouble for me, but in the end they are asking for trouble."

"Just like a fly, it flew in front of my eyes twice, and then slapped it into a paste."

Su Yu moved his hand, which is the habitual action of fanning a feather fan.

Seeing that Su Yu was unmoved, Li Shimin challenged him again: "But they provoked you after all."

"Especially that Turkic wizard who dared to challenge you one-on-one. This is a contempt for your title of Su Yu's God of War."

Di Renjie and Cheng Yaojin listened from a distance, and shouted that Li Shimin's instigating skills were first-rate.

"The emperor's words made me angry."

Cheng Yaojin said.

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Your emperor will always be your emperor, but well, a salted fish is a salted fish, unless he wants to turn himself around, otherwise it's useless to say anything."

All aggressive methods are ineffective in front of Su Yu.
