Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 917 Bold Ideas

I saw Nuo Da's warehouse was full of golden gold coins and silver coins shining silver, and amber, a specialty of Batavia, was piled up into a hill.

Going further inside, there were several piles of gold and silver ingots that had been smelted but not made into gold and silver coins. Rubies, emeralds, and sapphires were piled in the box, and there was also a pile of pearls, jade, and agates that Liu Hongjian could not name.

"How many people did I think there were? That's all!" Liu Hongjian shook his head, as if he was not satisfied with the East India Company's wealth.

These things look eye-catching. If they are really converted into silver taels, they will definitely not exceed 2000 million taels. Especially those boxes of gems look good. Still a younger brother.

But Liu Hongjian figured it out after a little thought. After all, the East India Company was a joint-stock company, and millions of shareholders were eagerly waiting for dividends every year.

Because the East India Company relies on dumping and plunder to make profits, its benefits have always been very good. The annual rate of return of shareholders has reached a terrifying 40.00%. Even the Dutch ruling Prince of Orange is thinking about his 18.00% dividend every year.

Alas, it seems that if you want to get rich, you have to go to the mainland of the Netherlands to grab it. Liu Hongjian stroked his stubble-covered chin and began to daydream.

A group of personal guards were paying attention to Liu Hongjian. In their eyes, Liu Hongjian was no longer a human being, but a god!Only God can snort so many treasures of gold and silver!

"My lord, most of the goods stored in the warehouse next door are spices, deerskins, antlers, medicinal materials, etc. These things are also very easy to sell in our Daming, and they are also worth a lot of money." Chang Yu comforted.

Seeing that Liu Hongjian was still not in high spirits, Chang Yu stepped forward and said, "My lord, the brothers from the Artillery Battalion found a good thing just now, you will definitely like it if you taste it!"

"What the hell? Have you ever tasted the delicacies of mountains and seas with this king? Are you really interested in eating?"

"No, my lord, it's not for eating, but for smoking, which is much more comfortable than smoking in our pipes and pots!
One sip will make you feel like you are in heaven, and you can't describe how comfortable and humble you are, you must try it! "Chang Yu closed his eyes in enjoyment as he spoke.

Liu Hongjian suddenly had an ominous premonition, what else could he be smoking that could make people feel ecstatic?

"Seal this warehouse, and no one is allowed to enter without my king's order! Go, go and have a look!" Liu Hongjian gave Lin He a few instructions, and then left with Chang Yu.

Arriving at the place, I saw Kong Ermao, the commander of the artillery battalion, surrounded by a group of artillerymen. The crowd was smoky, and there was a strange fragrance in the air.

Liu Hongjian only glanced at the things in Kong Er's hand and knew that he had guessed right. There was a small box among the crowd, and inside the box were pieces of black balls, pressed into pieces!This is definitely a tablet!

Liu Hongjian has always been worried about the invention of pipes and pots. Tobacco may provide considerable tax revenue for the court in the future, but it is not good for health after all.

Take him as an example, he was a smoker in his later life. Although he knew the disadvantages of smoking, he still found it difficult to quit.

Tobacco has now penetrated into the north and south of the mainland. Tobacco was originally used as a medicinal material, and it was not called smoking at that time, but eating tobacco.

Merchants claimed that regular consumption of tobacco could cure a variety of diseases, and even men and women, young and old, all in Ming Dynasty had the habit of smoking tobacco.

Even so, Liu Hongjian still suggested that the imperial court should start to control the smokers, such as imposing heavy taxes, which was approved by Comrade Xiao Zhu a hundred times.

But compressed tablets are no better than tobacco. Compressed tablets are a thing for subjugation and extinction. If it becomes a disaster, it will quickly wipe out a nation spiritually. He will never allow this thing to flow into Daming!

"My lord, you are here, come and taste this stuff, it's amazing! You can go to heaven with one puff!" Kong Er was holding a cigarette pot in his hand, and squeezed another piece from the black ball, and motioned to Liu while smoking. Hung-chien tried it too.

"Fuck your mother! Do you believe that this king can let you go to heaven now?
you!And you!All those who smoked this thing did [-] push-ups and [-] sit-ups, and they were not allowed to eat at night!
This is a chronic poison, if anyone dares to touch it in the future, don't blame me for being rude!" Liu Hongjian slapped Kong Er's idiot's cigarette bag far away.

Kong Er was stunned immediately.

Although Liu Hongjian's temper was not very good, he seldom lost such a big temper. Even if he was caught drinking secretly before, it was at most dozens of army sticks.

One must know that even a strong and strong man would lose half his life if he was hit with dozens of military sticks, but seeing what Liu Hongjian meant, the punishment for smoking something was worse than dozens of military sticks?
"My lord doesn't want us to smoke, so we just don't smoke. Why are you so angry? We don't know that this thing is a chronic poison!" Kong Er was not angry when he was slapped.

Having fought with Liu Hongjian for several years, Kong Erlianzi is now an earl in terms of title, and an earl is a super rank, two ranks older than all the ministers.

Slapping the court uncle is not something that anyone dares to do, but this slap was done by Liu Hongjian, Kong Er has no temper, and his glory is all given by Liu Hongjian.

"That's right, my lord, don't get angry, we know we're wrong, and we'll just burn the poison!" A guerrilla general also echoed.

Liu Hongjian didn't say a word, Chang Yu thought it was tacit consent, and before the artillerymen could make a move, he ordered the guards to burn the pellets.

"Wait!" Liu Hongjian raised his hand to stop his subordinates.

"How much of this stuff is there? Where is the place of production? How much?" Liu Hongjian asked with a blank expression.

"Going back to the prince, there are more than a dozen boxes in the warehouse over there, and it looks like it must be at least a thousand catties!

We asked the Banten people in the city, and they said that there are plantations on this island, as well as on the surrounding islands. As for the production volume...the Banten people don't know, let alone us. " Kong Er's idiot picked up the pipe and pot and knocked off the tablet inside while whispering.

"I repeat once again, no matter who dares to touch this thing, official positions and titles are all light in the end, whoever touches it will die, then don't blame me for being merciless!" Liu Hongjian ignored Kong Er's fool , but looked around at his subordinates and said solemnly.

The subordinates looked at each other and dared not speak. Although the tobacco experience was wonderful, it must be extremely worthless compared with the wealth and wealth.

Several artillerymen who were close to the box on the ground couldn't help dodging a few steps, as if the thing on the ground was a poisonous snake.

"As for these things, there's no need to destroy them. I'll keep them for use. Let's seal them up!" Liu Hongjian said in a deep voice.

At this moment, he suddenly had a bold idea.
