Chapter 1099 Smoking is harmful to health

A few days later, Yun Zheng rushed to Changle County.

On the way to Changle County, he had ordered someone to deliver his own handwritten letter to Tuohuan, asking Tuohuan to pay close attention to the situation in Yuzhou.

Yuzhou is indeed not under his jurisdiction.

But he had to keep this account.

After arriving in Changle County, Yun Zheng rushed to Guantian as soon as possible.

Qu Zhi, who had received the news, had already brought his men to wait at Guantian.

After a brief chat with Qu Zhi, Yun Zheng entered Guantian under the leadership of Qu Zhi.

Now the corn, potatoes and pumpkins have all been harvested.

Many vegetables in the official fields have also grown old.

However, their original purpose was to obtain more seeds, so it would not matter if they were old.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

"Um... this one, I don't seem to know it either."

"What about this?"

"This... seems to be bitter melon, but it is a little different from the bitter melon I saw in the book. I am not too sure."

"Quick, remember! This thing is called bitter melon! Your Highness, take a look at the crops in that field over there..."

Qu Zhi took Yun Zheng and Miao Yin to look at it piece by piece.

Looking at these crops, Yun Zheng felt a little ashamed.

Even though all the crops were ripe, he still couldn't recognize them all.

There are also crops similar to bitter melon, which look a bit like bitter melon, but are very different from the bitter melon he knows, making him not quite sure.

Fortunately, Qu Zhi was still eagerly looking forward to his coming!

Under the leadership of Qu Zhi, they came to another official field.

The moment he saw this piece of government land, Yun Zheng's eyelids suddenly jumped.

Is this... tobacco?

Yun Zheng suddenly thought of the crop he had seen before that was very similar to Pachyderm.

At that time, this thing was just a small seedling and he couldn't recognize it.

But now, this thing has grown very big!

This really looks like tobacco leaves!

It was just because Qu Zhi and the others didn't do much to process the leaves in the middle and lower part of the tobacco stalks that made these leaves look a little different from the ones he had seen before.

Yun Zheng quickened his pace, quickly came to a tobacco leaf and squatted down, pulled down the somewhat yellowed leaves underneath, and put them to his nose and sniffed them.

Suddenly, a familiar smell entered his nostrils.

tobacco leaf!

It’s really tobacco leaves!

Depend on!

Those people from the navy actually brought back tobacco seeds?

This thing is a great way to generate income!

In the future, will you use this thing to raise money to build a navy?

Is this what is called cause and effect?

With this thing, can I enjoy the cigarette after sex in the future?

Yun Zheng suddenly thought something evil.

Yun Zheng was daydreaming while rolling the tobacco leaf in his hand vigorously.

It took a while to finally roll the tobacco leaves into a cigar shape.

"Shen Kuan, bring the fire starter!"

Yun Zheng stood up and yelled at Shen Kuan.

Shen Kuan took the order and quickly handed over the fire starter.

Yun Zheng blew on the lighter and quickly lit the copycat cigar in his hand.

"Cough cough..."

After taking a sip, the strong smell of tobacco filled his mouth, but Yun Zheng was choked by the strong smell and coughed repeatedly.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Miaoyin hurried forward to pat Yun Zheng on the back and said unhappily, "You stuff everything into your mouth? Even if you want to eat, you don't eat like this!"

"This thing is not for eating!"

Yun Zheng grinned and handed the fake cigar in his hand to Qu Zhi, "Would you like to have a puff too?"

"what?"

Qu Zhi was a little confused, and looked at Yun Zheng blankly, "Your Highness, this... how can you take this?"

Yun Zheng grinned, "Just take a sip, like drinking water, don't take it too hard, or you may not be able to handle it."

Qu Zhi looked at Yun Zheng with doubt, took the counterfeit cigar handed to him by Yun Zheng, and took a light puff according to the method taught by Yun Zheng.

"Cough cough..."

The next moment, Qu Zhi was choked and started coughing, which made Yun Zheng smile heartlessly.

Qu Zhi recovered a little and returned the fake cigar to Yun Zheng with disdain, "Your Highness, I am not worthy of this thing..."

Yun Zheng took it and took another sip.

This time, he got used to it a little and didn't cough anymore.

However, the strong smell of leaf tobacco still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Afterwards, a cigarette makes you feel as happy as a god."

Yun Zheng closed his eyes, a look of intoxicated emotion on his face.

Seeing Yun Zheng like this, Miaoyin couldn't help but frown, "What on earth is this? I feel uncomfortable just smelling it, and you still look like you're enjoying it?"

“It’s called tobacco!”

Yun Zheng opened his eyes and looked at Miaoyin with a smile on his face, "This thing is very useful! Of course, inhaling this stuff is definitely not good for your health."

not good for health?

Miaoyin's eyelids jumped, and she dodged the fake cigar in Yun Zheng's hand and threw it to the ground, stepping on it fiercely. She said angrily, "You know it's bad for your health, but you still look like you enjoy it?"

"This one……"

Yun Zheng was speechless, then smiled and said: "This tobacco itself can also be used as medicine..."

It's really hard to say whether this thing is good or bad.

For some people, it's poison.

But for some people, it's a lifesaver.

Especially for soldiers fighting in war.

He certainly wouldn't hold this thing and smoke it all day long, but since God had given tobacco to him, he would definitely make use of it.

At worst, we can sell it to other countries!

"Medicine?"

When Miaoyin heard that tobacco could be used as medicine, her face turned better and she asked in confusion, "How can this be used as medicine?"

"We'll talk about this later."

Yun Zheng smiled, looked up at the tobacco again, and ordered Qu Zhi: "Immediately order someone to peel off all the leaves at the bottom, leaving only a few leaves on the top! By the way, separate the leaves at the bottom from the leaves in the middle..."

This tobacco is completely ready for harvest.

However, they also need to keep the tobacco growing, let the seeds mature, and collect more seeds.

Qu Zhi took the order and immediately ordered people to harvest tobacco leaves according to Yun Zheng's requirements.

"After we harvest them, let's... forget it, let's put them in a cool place to dry! Just make sure they don't get moldy."

Yun Zheng instructed Qu Zhi again.

He remembered that there were quite a lot of processes involved in making tobacco leaves, including roasting, and then a series of other production processes.

But unfortunately, he had not done any specific research on how to make this thing in his previous life, so he was not very clear about the specific process.

Let it dry in the shade first!

Anyway, people of this era probably don’t care about taste or anything like that.

I will study it more slowly when I plant more in the future!

"Yes!"

Qu Zhi accepted the order and asked curiously, "Your Highness, you are not going to dry it and then suck it like you did just now?"

"That's exactly what this tobacco is used for."

Yun Zheng nodded gently, "You can understand this as a poison that is not immediately fatal but addictive! Don't touch it, and I will try not to touch it! Remember, smoking is harmful to your health!"
