That's right, what Meng Han chose to compensate the Bright Empire was tobacco. The reason why he didn't ask Louisa what it tasted like after burning it was because tobacco was said to be chewed on the leaves at first, and it was found to have a refreshing effect on the brain.
Slowly, I changed to smoking. If I mentioned smoking at the beginning, Louisa probably wouldn’t understand.
Louisa is worthy of being a Dharma Saint in the plant department. Although she did not learn magic until she became a Dharma Saint within a short period of time, almost all the plants in the Elf Forest have interacted with her. What Meng Han needs, she just
I closed my eyes and felt it for a while, then gave the answer.
"There are several kinds of plants, some of which are not only suitable for leaves, but also for fruits." Louisa told Meng Han comprehensively: "Which one do you need?"
"Go and have a look!" Meng Han vaguely remembered what tobacco leaves looked like, because he had seen tobacco leaves grown when he was a child in his previous life. He couldn't describe it for a while, so it was better to see the real thing.
With Louisa and Louise leading the way, the Elf Forest was basically a smooth road. Soon Meng Han saw the plants Louisa mentioned. One of them was very similar to the tobacco leaves Meng Han had seen in his previous life. From Louisa,
After confirming that it was not toxic, Meng Han picked a leaf and chewed it in his mouth, and immediately felt a familiar tobacco smell.
"That's it!" Meng Han was very happy. He didn't expect that tobacco could be found in this world. In his previous life, he was not very addicted to smoking. In this life, his body has no addiction to tobacco at all. Meng Han has almost forgotten the importance of tobacco.
Taste. As soon as this leaf was taken into his mouth, the long-lost feeling immediately came back to him, and he wished he could smoke the already produced cigarettes right away.
Louisa was very happy to find what Meng Han said. She thought she was going back, but Meng Han seemed to have some new ideas and insisted on reading everything Louisa said.
A very beautiful looking plant with gorgeous flowers. According to the information obtained through Louisa's communication with the plant, it can make people excited and even produce some hallucinations. This plant reminds Meng Han of his previous life.
The famous drug opium. But now Meng Han is not short of money, and there is no need to discover this kind of thing.
After looking at several kinds, Meng Han saw the kind of plant that Louisa said could make people excited. The beans-like things made Meng Han's heart move again. He picked one and put it in his mouth.
There was a bit of familiarity in the bitterness, which made Meng Han couldn't help but laugh.
Coffee, this taste is definitely the taste of coffee. Meng Han had just suspected that it was this, and now it has finally been confirmed. However, with Meng Han's magical power, he can easily find that these plants contain strong
The magical elements are still somewhat different from the plants in previous lives.
Meng Han is very clear about the huge market for tobacco. Because he is clear about it, he understands that once tobacco is handed over to the Bright Empire, the economic strength between the two countries will be tilted again. So he must find a way to be able to do it again.
The things that balance the economic strength of both sides are given to the Dark Empire.
Meng Han does not want war. He prefers to quietly enjoy his current luxurious life. However, the resentment between the Light Empire and the Dark Empire that has existed for thousands of years is not so easy to resolve. The only way to make wars less frequent is to improve ordinary people.
The economic level and living standard of the two empires. The richer the people, the less willing they are to destroy their good life. Meng Han understands this very well. It is through these industries that he wants to improve the comprehensive national strength of the two empires and the people's living standards.
Okay, everything has been improved.
As for balancing the economies of both sides, Meng Han figured this out later. He controls the sales channels, and then he controls the income to the two empires. As long as he gives the same amount, it will naturally be balanced. But these industries,
Meng Han didn't mind giving more, at least he could enjoy it.
"Is this the compensation you gave me?" Fanny looked at the humble tobacco and then at another coffee plant, and couldn't help but ask: "This one too?"
"This is for Angelina." Meng Han smiled, and his answer immediately made Angelina a little overjoyed. At the same time, Fanny also had a very unhappy expression.
"I have roughly weighed it. If these two industries start to operate, the income of both of you will be maintained at the same level." Meng Han explained briefly. In fact, he didn't need to explain, the two women also knew what he was thinking.
.
The two women will never doubt Meng Han's ability to make money. Since Meng Han said that these two plants can make a lot of money, he is absolutely right. However, since they are plants, they definitely need a growth cycle. Even if they are making money,
It's probably at least the second year.
In fact, Meng Han did not disappoint them. With the help of Fanny and Angelina, Meng Han quickly baked and rolled a small batch of tobacco leaves with light magic to create cigarettes.
The coffee beans roasted and dried by dark magic are naturally ground into powder and turned into drinkable coffee.
In Meng Han's words, they were all shoddy things, but Meng Han enjoyed them with gusto. The long-lost feeling almost made him think that he was still in his previous life. Seeing Meng Han enjoying himself, Fanny and Angelina couldn't help but
Want to give it a try.
"No, no, no, you can't try cigarettes." Meng Han saw that the two women and even Grace wanted to try cigarettes. Meng Han hurriedly dissuaded her. He didn't like women who smoked: "Smoking looks very unladylike, but you can try it."
Try the coffee, it’s definitely the ladies’ favorite.”
Of course, enjoying coffee requires the use of exquisite coffee sets. But with Meng Han here, it is no problem. In the process of making coffee, Meng Han has already made a set of exquisite coffee sets, and also gives them to each of his women.
1. Under Meng Han's demonstration, add more sugar or more milk according to everyone's taste, then stir and enjoy.
Fanny and Angelina may have a little more talent in fighting and religion, but they have almost no talent in business. But Grace Alice is different, Amanda is also very talented.
Being keen, I immediately discovered that coffee was something that was born for aristocratic women, and I quickly mastered the essence.
The elegant stirring and tasting movements of the three girls, plus some exquisite afternoon tea, accompanied by the delicious coffee, are like a beautiful picture. Looking in the eyes of Fanny and Angelina, they immediately knew these things
Commercial value. As long as anything becomes popular among the nobles, it means that shiny gold coins are ready to be obtained.
As for tobacco, just look at Meng Han holding a cigarette with two fingers and puffing away the smoke. I think those male nobles will never let go of the same enjoyment as the Lord of the Golden City.
While Angelina was excited, Fanny was equally excited. Because Meng Han told them that whether it was porcelain, tea, tobacco or coffee, in addition to the high-end ones for the enjoyment of the nobles, the low-end ones,
It can also be enjoyed by ordinary civilians. Once everyone is used to this, it means that everyone is a consumer, which also means that they can earn everyone's gold coins.
"Fanny, when planting tobacco, try to choose a place with strong light magic elements, release as much light magic as possible, and let the magic penetrate deep into the inside of the tobacco." Meng Han emphasized. Tobacco is harmful, and there are many harmful things.
Smoking is bad for the body. But with the restorative and supplementary effects of light magic, it can not only reduce the harm to the human body, but also increase the refreshing effect of tobacco.
"In addition, if the plant leaves used to roll tobacco can be replaced with high-end treated paper, the effect may be better." Meng Han told Fanny that it was good that he could find tobacco in a short time. As for the production process, he had no idea.
The method can only be left to the people of the Bright Empire. Of course, he did not forget to remind: "In addition, you can also choose part of it to make cigars, which is also a very good thing."
After his description, Fanny and a few followers finally wrote down everything, and then waited happily. At least Fanny had to know what the Dark Empire's arrangements were, otherwise she would not be willing to let the Dark Empire know about her side.
layout.
"Angelina, don't read it. If dark magic is combined with the effect of tobacco, it is poison. You don't need to think about it." Seeing that Angelina was listening carefully, Meng Han couldn't help but smile and remind her: "However,
With coffee, you can try to combine it with some of the refreshing parts of dark magic. If it can have a beautifying effect, it will be even better, it will definitely make people crazy."
Coffee also requires craftsmanship. Naturally, Meng Han left everything to the Dark Empire to study on his own, and could not put everything on his own head. Neither Fanny nor Angelina had any objections to this.
After the two women got the seeds of tobacco and coffee, they didn't stay any longer and left the Golden City quickly, presumably to return home early and arrange planting. Fanny didn't say anything about favoritism, and Angelina accepted it calmly.
After sending away the two girls, Meng Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. In order to balance the two empires, it was really troublesome. Fortunately, it was finally done, but he soon discovered that Grace, Alice and Aman
Dadu is waiting for him.
"Tony, you are partial!" As soon as Meng Han entered the door, he heard three beautiful complaints, which almost made Meng Han's legs weak and he sat on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Meng Han sat down with the help of Demi and Diana. Looking at the three girls who pretended to have pretty faces, he couldn't help but ask.
"You are partial!" Amanda was the first to speak: "You gave Fanny and Angelina tobacco and coffee, but didn't you think of giving us anything? We also want something that can at least make Golden City better.
