The news that was exchanged for a depreciatory "half-open" was full of color. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info was revealed by Huang Haoran on the spot, and Wang Youda's face turned a little pale.

Zhao Changshou closed his mouth and stepped aside, quiet as if he had never appeared. The main master walked to the front desk, and his puppet had no value.

"General Huang has good eyesight, and it is Wang Youda ...... below"

"It's the first time we've met, but I've been admiring the name for a long time...... Consultant Wang's wool business is very big~ There is definitely no shortage of ...... in the half-open purse"

The "wool block" mentioned by Huang Haoran is actually tobacco soil. After the defeat of the Qing court in the Opium War, a large amount of foreign tobacco filled China, and a large amount of silver flowed out of China, which aggravated the financial crisis of the Qing court.

Thus, beginning in the 60s of the 19th century, the Qing court openly allowed the cultivation of opium. Soon, opium poppies were cultivated everywhere in the country, from the Great Wall to Yunnan and Guizhou, from the coast of the East China Sea to Shaanxi and Gansu, and opium was rapidly localized, and imported opium was gradually crowded out and replaced.

Among the domestic tobacco, the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan have the largest output and the best quality.

Among them, it is produced in Yuntu, Yunnan Province, and is the best of the domestic opium. Yuntu is divided into the south soil, the west soil, the east soil, among which the south soil is the best quality, the color and fragrance are good, there is the reputation of "the king of kings", the people who are addicted to opium call it "half a mile to smell the fragrance, three mouthfuls top a penny". Yuntu is generally made of rectangular brick type, and the outer packaging is pasted with the head of Lin Zexu, who is famous for selling cigarettes in Humen, which can be described as a big joke in the world.

Sichuan soil is produced in Sichuan Province, and its quality is slightly inferior to that of cloud soil, and it is also the top grade of tobacco soil. Opium is produced in all parts of Sichuan Province, and its products are subdivided into Fengdu soil, Nanba soil, Fuzhou soil, Jiajiang soil, Pingshan soil, Bazhou soil, osmanthus soil, dragon soil, Fengtu, magnetic block, etc., and the output ranks first in the country.

The "wool block" sold by Wang Youda belongs to Guitu, also known as Guizhou soil and Guizhou black, which is opium produced in Guizhou Province and is of good quality. The shape is like a horse's hoof, and each piece weighs about 10~20 taels.

Opium trafficking is the most lucrative of all. Relying solely on the smuggling of "wool blocks", Gao County can make millions of "half-opened" silver dollars every year. Although according to the industry rules, the money must be handed over and then the big people in Guizhou will organize and distribute the spoils. However, Wang Youda occupies a geographical advantage and can withhold part of the profits from this transaction, and the amount accumulated over the years is also very amazing. If he wasn't Wang Jialie's nephew, he would definitely not have had the opportunity to get involved in such a fat gap.

"Commander Huang, don't be joking... Selling tobacco and soil is a sin that kills the head, and you must not listen to slander......"

Wang Youda's reaction did not surprise Huang Haoran. Although the smuggling of tobacco and soil under the control of the warlords was very popular, it was after all prohibited by the government, and it was not tolerated by society and the law, so it could only be carried out quietly in private.

Therefore, Wang Youda was quite resistant to being labeled as smuggling tobacco by himself.

You must know that after the establishment of the Nanjing government, a national anti-smoking committee was set up. At the Third National Anti-Smoking Conference held in 1928, the highest authority delivered a speech in person: "The smoking ban is a matter of national society and the survival of the nation. If there is anyone in the government who dares to defy the law and eat tobacco and transport tobacco, the central government will be selfless and sternly dealt with without forgiveness!"

So although the bigwigs of all parties rely on the tobacco business to make a windfall behind their backs, they are clear about themselves on the surface.

Take Wang Youda's uncle Wang Jialie, who was not among the initiators of the anti-smoking campaign in Guizhou Province? He also has the post of director of the Tobacco and Soil Inspection Bureau.

It is the same gang of people who smuggle and inspect, and it is easy to understand that tobacco and soil are repeatedly banned......

"Advisor Wang is too worried... Today is just a private meeting, and the conversation is not official......"

Huang Haoran handed Wang Youda a reassuring pill, what he wants now is the control of Gao County, not to ban drugs. The smuggling of tobacco and soil in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan has been in business for decades, and if he rashly cuts off other people's financial routes, it will inevitably cause a backlash from various forces.

A private meeting? Don't talk about business?

Wang Youda was moved to life by these words, could it be that Huang Haoran is interested in the business of smuggling tobacco and soil? That's right~ The commander of the Yibin Garrison Command in front of him was also a fierce general in the tobacco smuggling business.

If Huang Haoran can be pulled in, the "wool block" business in Guizhou is definitely a great thing. No matter how powerful the escort is, it is by no means as safe and efficient as the military escort.

"Commander Huang is right, you and I are meeting for the first time...... It's too boring to talk about business as soon as you come up. Why don't I come to the east, set up a table in the best restaurant in the county, catch the wind for Commander Huang, and talk about the way to make a fortune by the way? ”

"I don't need to look at the restaurant, the county government is very good here~ I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes... I really haven't tasted Guizhou cuisine......"

Huang Haoran smiled and nodded, with an expression of I appreciate you, and the title of Wang Youda has also been changed from consultant to brother.

Wang Youda was happy to see such a change, he smiled and pointed at Zhao Changshou, and told Huang Haoran that this county magistrate Zhao was a glutton, and he really had a good cook under his hands.

"This thing is easy to do, I'll arrange it, and I will definitely satisfy the two of you......"

After Zhao Changshou withdrew, Huang Haoran also asked the guards behind him to retreat, he was expressing his sincerity to Wang Youda. There is no third party present, and some words can be said directly.

"Yibin, in fact, also produces tobacco soil, but the quality is not outstanding, it is not a good variety in Sichuan soil, if Commander Huang is interested, he can cultivate a few agents, catch this business, and there will be an income of more than 100,000 yuan a year...... After all, raising soldiers is a very expensive thing......"

"Brother Wang really understands me...... To tell you the truth, I, the commander of the Yibin garrison, have already taken out my purse...... What is the use of the little money allocated by the Military Commission? If there is no extra money, the recruits will have to drink the northwest wind......"

Huang Haoran handed Wang Youda a ladder all the way, so that the other party could climb up, and he was bound to gain control of Gao County, but if he could make a windfall along the way, why not?

It is obvious that the forces standing behind Wang Youda just want to make money from Gao County, and they are not interested in this broken county town at the junction of the three provinces.

Since there is an appeal for interests, then there is a breakthrough to resolve the contradictions.

"In this way, Yibin's tobacco income can't satisfy Commander Huang?"

"Isn't it~ Brother... It's really a lack of money......"

Huang Haoran even put out the appearance of being hungry, and he has done it quite explicitly. Wang Youda, who has already been crooked, can't take the bait.

"You have a good location, and it's not easy to get rich? The flow of materials between the three provinces is still small, and as long as a checkpoint is set up, it can be collected continuously...... If you add tobacco smuggling, it's a lot of money......"

"What does my brother mean to let the tobacco soil of Guizhou flow into Sichuan? But just now my brother also said that Sichuan's tobacco production is the first in the country, and the quality is better than that of Guizhou. ”

"You don't know about it~ Tobacco is like a meal we will eat in a while. Each place has its own taste, and those big smokers always want to taste something fresh, so it is the most profitable to sell it in other places......"

Talking about the smuggling business, Wang Youda suddenly came to his senses, and he began to teach Huang Haoran his tobacco business experience.

"Indeed... The quality of tobacco in Guizhou is worse than that in Sichuan, but the price is also cheap~ This big smoker can only smoke more and more poor... When the purse is shriveled, as long as it can be enjoyable, it is a good thing for them! So as long as the price is right, there is no need to worry about sales......"

"And you can also sell the tobacco soil from Sichuan to Guizhou... And Yuntu, that's also a pretty thing! Your territory happens to be at the junction of three provinces, and if you do business in an all-round way, it is easy to raise one or two divisions......" (To be continued.) )
