    "Nachu, don't be rude." Brother Yutian reprimanded: "Don't back down."

    "Hey" Everyone said loudly: "The wine order is like a military order, and there is no dignity in the wine market. Brother Yutian, please don't break the rules."

    Unexpectedly, Yutian smiled at his 'son' and said, "I can't help you either."

    "No need." Nachu raised his eyebrows and gave him a good-looking look.

    Everyone elected the most knowledgeable Li Yuanwai as the main one, and Li Yuanwai said with grace: "I can't bully the few by the crowd, let the little brother come up with the question first."

    Na Chu didn't refuse, so he started: "Wei Zheng."

    "Wei Zheng" All the guests looked at each other in blank dismay. They had to be very familiar with the Four Books, and they had to be quick-witted to be able to match.  Those who haven't studied seriously didn't bother their brains, and just focused on cheering up the few scholars outside Mr. Li.

    "Wei Zheng, Weizheng" Fortunately Li Yuanwai is also good at this, and after a while he suddenly said: "But'Mencius saw King Hui of Liang?'"

    "Yes." Amidst the applause and uproar, Nachu bowed his cup and said without changing his face: "It's your turn."

    "Since my younger brother uses the sages of the Tang Dynasty, I will produce one from the Five Dynasties." Li Yuanwai said, "Xu You!"

    Those who had the material in their bellies began to rack their brains, and more were waiting to see Nachu's jokes.

    Lu Xianggong was also thinking about it, but before he could figure out why, he heard Nachu's clear and crisp voice: "It can be used to cure Qi Fu!" He understood immediately, and couldn't help nodding his head.

    Most of the guests also understood, but there were some who didn't understand why, and those who understood explained: "Confucius once commented on Zilu and said: 'You Ye, a country of thousands of vehicles, can be used to govern its endowment.' Isn't it just praising Zhong You?"  , referred to as 'Xu You'."

    All the people praised and said: "Wonderful! Wuzi's thin words, Han Confucianism's archery, but that's the case." They all drank a cup happily.

    It was Nachu's turn to pose the question again: "Tian Guang."

    "Five grains don't grow!" Li Yuanwai opened his mouth to answer this simple question, and after Nachu had a drink, he said, "Complete the battle." This is a doctor from Chunqiu Tengguo.

    "Zai Ji fights." This is not difficult, Nachu answered in one go, and then asked the question: "Black butt."

    Many people said in amazement: "Is this also the name of an ancient person?"

    "Jin Chenggong's name" the person next to him whispered.

    "Oh." I couldn't help but feel ashamed of my ignorance.

    "Sitting in the charcoal." Li Yuanwai was not bothered, and he asked again: "Wang Meng!"

    "You are so brave!" Nachu couldn't help it.  Everyone had a drink, and felt that it was not worth it: "It's going to be more difficult for a member of the staff, otherwise we will exchange a dozen drinks for him, and it won't be a big loss!"

    "Then I have to wait for my brother to come up with the question first." Li Yuanwai said with a wry smile.

    "Yurang." Nachu asked the question.  This is a famous assassin in the Spring and Autumn Period.

    Li Yuanwai was taken aback for a moment, and the rest of them racked their brains to no avail. Just when time was about to run out, Lu Xianggong said: "But'Tabo is already the most virtuous.'"

    "Yes." Li Yuanwai said with a face of shame: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your help."

    After Nachu drank a cup, Li Yuanwai racked his brains and said, "It's not a name this time, listen up." Taking a deep breath, he said the series like a cannonball: "Every ten into one, every eight into one  Eleven, every ninth one, every tenth one, every tenth one!"

    Nachu was stunned, his brows frowned prettily, he lost his mind for a while, and everyone booed: "Drink ten cups in a row!" He couldn't help but look at 'Father' who was sitting there taking a rest, playing with the white jade pendant on his waist, not only  His eyes lit up, he raised his head and said: The answer to this riddle is 'Zhi Gui'!  "

    "Awesome." Li Yuanwai sighed and said: "My brother is quick and quick thinking, I am convinced."

    Someone dipped these two characters in tea and wrote them on the table. Everyone was amazed and drank the cup heartily.

    "Lu Ti governs the boxing town of Guanxi!" Since Yuanwai Li didn't follow the rules, Nachu was not polite either.

    Li Yuanwai thought again and again, rubbed his numb head and said, "Everyone, I'm at a loss."

    "Where is Mr. Lu?" Everyone looked forward to Mr. Lu.

    "I can't figure it out either." Lu Xianggong smiled wryly.

    "Those who don't know think it's meat. Those who know it think it's rude." At this time, Brother Yutian spoke, and he smiled at his 'son' and said, "Isn't that right?"

    "Why are you turning your elbows outward!" Nachu refused to give up and said, "Is there anyone like you who is a father?"

    "You said you wanted to pick one by yourself.?Open up the meridians in a short period of time: so people can stay healthy, stay away from diseases, and help Chinese people resist the invasion of diseases.  ¡¯ and so on.

    Lu Kun clearly remembers that an advertisement he saw stated that tobacco can 'protect our health and reduce our pain.  Let's find sensual enjoyment and relax our tired brain.  ¡¯ That¡¯s why he endured the aversion to the bad smell and smoked it three times a day after meals until the addiction formed.

    "Can you believe the words in the advertisement?" Nachu sneered: "This burning weed looks disgusting and smells disgusting. It not only damages the brain, but also harms the lungs!"

    "Really?" Lu Kun looked at Qin Lei.

    "That's what Li Shizhen said." Nachu said authoritatively.

    "Do you know Miracle Doctor Li?" Lu Kun asked in surprise.

    "It's just hearsay." Qin Lei hurriedly said.

    "It's likely to be like this" Lu Kun looked at the half of the cigars left in his hand, snapped his fingers and threw them into the sea, and said with a wave of his hand: "I'd rather believe it or not, and stop smoking."

    "Brother Lu is really free and easy. His hobbies for many years will be broken." Under Nachu's gaze, Qin Lei had no choice but to stifle the cigarette in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "But if the people of the country are like you, Emperor Wanli would like  Depressed."

    In the winter of the eighth year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty announced to the world that the private trading of tobacco was prohibited. Only those firms that had paid the franchise fee and obtained the right to operate, and the imperial stores opened by the royal family, were eligible to sell tobacco.

    After this order, all the officials wrote letters to dissuade them, saying that this is "competing with the people for profit, and losing holiness".  Nearly 10,000 eunuchs were added to the inner court. The Ministry of Household Affairs refused to pay for them, and the emperor was reluctant to pay for them himself, so he wanted the eunuchs to support themselves.  The best way is to restore the imperial store tax customs that were banned during the Longqing period. The emperor made the excuse of 'tobacco monopoly', nothing more than taking the opportunity to restore the imperial store that is a monopoly business, and the tax customs that inspect and collect taxesthen  But it has always been the job of the eunuchs.

    It has been more than half a year since this edict was promulgated. Although most of the country is still the same, the tobacco market in the capital is indeed monopolized by eunuchs like wolf and tiger.  They will all be arrested, and if they don¡¯t pay huge fines, they will live in Dongchang Prison for the rest of their lives.  The private stores opened by Huangdian and Dadang spread all over the capital, the price of tobacco increased tenfold, and all tobacco merchants changed their careers.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "I've never seen such a money-grubbing emperor." Speaking of domestic affairs, Lu Kun said worriedly: "What's even more worrying is that the emperor broke the rules without any scruples, bypassing the outer court at every turn, and using eunuchs to do things for him.  I heard that another 8,000 eunuchs have been recruited this year. Now the number of eunuchs in the inner court is close to 30,000, and there is no room for them to live in the palace. I think most of them will be sent to various provinces, to be precise, the southeastern provinces." He sighed and said.  : "I'm really worried, the good days I've had for a few days are coming to an end."

    "Is it that serious?" Qin Lei asked.

    "Yes." Lu Kun nodded, and said solemnly: "Have you read Shen Ge's "Economics"?"

    Qin Lei nodded.

    "It says that private property is protected by the state, which is the foundation of economic prosperity." Lu Kun said, "This sentence is so true. Only when people know their property will not be robbed by others, can they have no worries and let go.  Use your hands and feet to make money. If the emperor can take it away at any time, what else do you have to do?"

    "Will the emperor rob it outright?" Qin Lei asked with a look of astonishment.

    "Don't let others do this business, only allow yourself to earn money, no different from Ming Qiang." Lu Kun said: "I'm afraid that the southeast merchants will end up the same as the merchants in the capital."¡ª¡ª
