Chapter 278 Master Hou's Shock

After smoking crazily for just ten days, Hou Junji's addiction to cigarettes was already very high, especially after the two-day period of smoking, he was even more greedy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have run to Wang Dong's farm came to ask for cigarettes.

Wang Dong smiled and led Hou Junji into the workshop. The scale of the tobacco processing workshop is much larger than that of the canning workshop. This is the 8s tobacco processing equipment that Wang Dong spent a total of 80 yuan on. After Hou Junji went in, he saw the production lines. Can't tell what those machines do.

Wang Dong hurriedly stepped forward and explained to Hou Junji with a smile that the production lines in the workshop can process cigarettes, flat tobacco, and shredded tobacco for pipes, and even opened a production line for Shanzhou Qiang's female relatives to roll cigars.

Hou Junji had only smoked cigarettes before. Hearing Wang Dong's introduction, he couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart, and wanted to try smoking all these tobaccos.

Seeing Hou Junji's appearance, Wang Dong quickly persuaded him: "Master Hou's cigarettes are refreshing, but smoking too much will hurt your lungs. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, it's better to be restrained."

Hou Junji was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked Wang Dongdao: "Will this thing hurt my body? I smoked it for a long time but I didn't feel anything."

"Tobacco's damage to the human body is chronic. Newbies who have just smoked can't notice it naturally. In fact, even old smokers who haven't smoked for decades will not obviously feel the changes in their bodies."

Hou Junji thought for a while when he heard the words, and then suddenly asked Wang Dongdao with a smile: "How is the damage of this thing compared to strong alcohol?" Wang Dong thought for a while and replied: "I'm afraid it is not as powerful as strong alcohol, but after inhaling Too much is also bad. "

Hou Junji couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "I can drink bad wine, I can ride fast horses, so why not smoke a few more cigarettes?"

Wang Dong was speechless for a while. He knew that saying that tobacco hurts the body to this kind of killer was pure bullshit to them, so he didn't talk much at the moment, but just took out several products in his rented house and introduced them to Hou Junji one by one. Jun Ji quickly took the tobacco pot that Wang Dong handed him and began to smoke the shredded tobacco. After tasting it for a couple of puffs, he felt that the shredded tobacco tasted very strong, even stronger than the cigarettes he had smoked before.It's a different feeling, and I can't help but like it very much.

Wang Dong said with a smile: "The shredded tobacco of this kind of cigarette is specially made. We added some rice wine and sprinkled sugar in it."

Hou Junji nodded, took another two puffs of cigarettes, and then suddenly asked Wang Dong, "Your farm should be producing sugar too, right?"

In fact, he wanted to ask this question just now. He felt that the reason why Wang Dong’s canned white fungus is delicious is that besides the smooth taste of white fungus, the more important thing is the enough sugar, and he had seen Wang Dong’s canning workshop before. Here, in addition to adding caramel to the cans, the slaves also used a kind of white and fine top-grade stone honey. The price of this stuff is very high, Hou Junji made up his mind, if it is based on the price of the cans, With such a large amount of stone honey added, Wang Dong's income might not be able to make ends meet, so he had long suspected that Wang Dong could grow sugar in this place. Hou Junji didn't believe that other people could grow sugar in Longxi, but after seeing Wang Dong After Dong put on such a flourishing heavy makeup in a short period of time, Hou Junji felt that Wang Dong might really have such an ability.

Wang Dong smiled and nodded when he heard the words: "My farm grows a kind of crop called sugar beet, which looks like a vegetable head. After processing, it can produce sugar. The sugar workshop is far away."

Hearing this, Hou Junji followed the direction of Wang Dong's finger and saw a workshop of the same size in the distance, then nodded and asked Wang Dong: "Then you plan to sell this kind of sugar alone? Do you plan to add it to cans? "

Wang Dong smiled: "The sugar beet produced in the farm does not cost much to make sugar, but the annual output of our farm is not too large. If it is sold separately, and the shipping cost is added, the profit may not be as good as adding it into cans. Be tall."

Hou Junji nodded: "Being able to produce sugar in Longxi is considered a blessing for you."

This kind of planting technology will definitely become popular in the vicinity in a few years, which is inevitable in the era when there is no intellectual property protection.

Hou Junji knew that if the tobacco leaves and sugar beets that Wang Dong grew in his own farm sold well, they would be gradually popularized and planted throughout Longxi in a few years.But in his mind, this was also a good thing, Hou Junji's eyes were not only on the income of the thousand taels of silver, but also on the situation in the Northwest of the entire Tang Dynasty.

This place in Shanzhou is the border between Hu and Han. If someone is willing to farm the land and gradually mature this place, it will inevitably reduce the space for nomadic production methods, and even allow those nomads to settle down. This is very important for the Tang Dynasty to govern Longxi. Even Datang's control of the Silk Road is very beneficial.

After thinking about it for a while, Hou Junji lifted the cigarette rod and took another puff, tasted the taste of the tobacco leaves, and then he said directly to Wang Dong: "You don't want to sell these cigarettes, but send them directly to my marching general manager's yamen, and we will Tang Jun will take it all."

Hearing this, Wang Dong was quite pleasantly surprised. He originally thought that the best way to sell his cigarettes would be to sell them to Tang Jun's team through Hou Junji, but he never knew how to open his mouth, but he never expected that Hou Junji would take the initiative to say so. This sentence.

Hou Junji looked at Wang Dong and said with a smile: "The army goes out on an expedition, the journey is difficult and long, and the soldiers are tired and anxious, so they need a lot of enjoyment. Normally, our Tang army needs to bring a lot of wine for the soldiers to drink when they go out. First, extra care must be taken when transporting altars and cans, and second, it takes up a lot of weight. It is quite a burden for the transporters to be mixed in with the materials. The important thing is that this thing is not as good as wine, which can make people numb and drowsy after being used too much, and it is easy to delay the military plane.

Wang Dong couldn't help nodding his head when he heard the words. As one of the most capable generals in the early Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji really had a deep understanding of army logistics. No matter how harmful cigarettes are, in modern wars, they are very dangerous. For a long time, it has been one of the most important military supplies. For the army that is highly stressed and must stay awake at the same time, the decompression effect of cigarettes is unparalleled. Military cigarettes, whoever smokes will know.I didn't expect that I would think of this level without mentioning Hou Junji.

Seeing Wang Dong's surprised expression, Hou Junji couldn't help but smile complacently, then put one hand on his hips, and held the pipe in the other, making a very majestic posture, exhaling smoke rings and pointing, "How many cigarettes can your workshop produce in a year?" ? We have covered the price and you will not lose it."

"Uh... about [-] million." Wang Dong scratched his head.

Hou Junji couldn't help being stunned for a moment...
