After holding it in the office for more than half a month, he arranged all the work at hand. After listening to the work reports of all department heads, he went to the council for another two days, and Hong Tao became an idle again. So he began to patrol his territory like a lion king. The first place was the tobacco fields and tobacco workshops where Fengxiang was.

At that time, she said she would make a magic weapon that could shine easily. The original intention was to get a flashlight, but she didn't expect that the car light was finally drawn out. No matter what, the thing could be considered easy to light, and the brightness was very high, which made Baixiang completely convinced. From now on, Hong Tao would go to the tobacco field to harm her baby, so she didn't complain. Who made her man have the ability? Just step on a few trees.

In fact, Baixiang has not personally gone to the tobacco fields to weed and fertilize. Since the tobacco harvest for two seasons, the number has been enough to open a small workshop. As Hong Tao told her, she took her wife and several women from the Li family to register a cigarette workshop called Greater China, and began her career as a small owner. She used simple tools and hardworking hands at home to make handmade cigars.

Hong Tao taught how to roll cigars, but if the discipline is not good, he still twists and turns himself. It is okay to smoke. It must be smoked and the taste is still good, but it will be a bit cold when it is sold. So Baixiang and the others began to improve Hong Tao's craftsmanship, and they gathered together every day to figure out how to dry the fermented leaves into a beautiful cigar.

After thinking about it for half a year, after countless rolling, good news finally came from the Greater China cigarette workshop. The first batch of export-type cigars were finally successfully trial-made. This thing is no different from the cigars that Hong Tao saw in later generations. Although it was not rubbed from the girl's thighs, it was indeed rubbed by his wife. Of course, the taste was great. In fact, Hong Tao was not picky in smoking, especially in the thirteenth century, as long as some were smoked, it was beautiful, and the taste was put aside. He said he had to be easy to smoke, and others had no right to say this!

The Greater China brand cigar was packed into an exquisite wooden box. The box was also covered with a soldering iron. This is the official trademark of the Greater China Cigarette Factory. As for the question of whether the name and the avatar are a bit incompatible, no matter what, the first one is that it has this benefit. Do whatever you want, without any restrictions before, and no one will come later.

All this batch of cigars were transported to Mingzhou Port, part of which was sold by the local Global Trading Company, and part of which was loaded on Xu Liangzhi's cargo ships and transported to Mizhou and Japan. The output of this thing is not large, and only it is planted in the small farm of Baixiang, so it is not in a hurry to distribute the goods quickly and take it slowly.

"My baby is sick... wuwu..." But as soon as Hong Tao walked to his farm, a fancy soprano came from a distance. Don't ask, except for Baixiang's throat that he practiced in the mountains since childhood, no one could cry such a high and gentle tone.

"I said, who are you crying in the early morning? Geya is sick? Then why don't you send her to the doctor? Can you recover by sitting here by crying?" After the crowd separated, it turned out that Bai Xiang sat on the ground with no moral character and cried loudly. This made Hong Tao feel embarrassed. You said that a queen, even if she is a concubine, can't play on the ground.

"It's not Gya, it's my tobacco! Look, look, their leaves are rusted... There were only a few such trees a few days ago, but they were more and more every day. What should I do?" Baixiang heard Hong Tao's voice, and climbed up from the ground with a wheel. He held Hong Tao's arm and stopped waving.

"I'm really sick... but I won't treat it either. Why don't we plant something else this year and grow tobacco again next year?" Hong Tao took the leaves in Baixiang's hand and looked at it. Although he is not an agricultural expert, he can also see that the spots on the leaves are not bitten by insects. It's more like a human skin disease. It is probably caused by some kind of mold. As for what it is, who knows.

"I don't, I don't! My workshop just improved a little, so you don't care about me. Why can you do anything else? You can't do it, but there is nothing you can do with me? I don't want to do it. No one is allowed to dig my tobacco, I live here. Whenever the leaf gets sick, I will pull off any piece. You don't care about me, I will make it myself!" Baixiang immediately became anxious when she heard that Hong Tao was going to do a big splash. She finally found a job she liked and had a very rich future, so she gave up like this. That would not happen. So Hong Tao became her breathing bag. Fortunately, she didn't catch Hong Tao, but just attacked her words.

"Hey hey... I'll say a few people, isn't it fun to watch your emperor being scolded? Go and go, go and do whatever you should do, don't make trouble here!" Baixiang made such a fuss, and the new immigrants next to her who were hired to farm. These guys are the families of skilled immigrants who have only been attracted by the immigration policy in recent years. They have no skills, and some of them are not even able to pass the language and cannot enter state-owned factories to work as workers, so they become surplus laborers and often go to various farms to do odd jobs.

"Your Majesty, not only is the Empress sick in her field, but when I went to the sugarcane field to weed the two days ago, there were these things on the leaves there. Minister Huang also brought people to bathe the leaves with lime water." The crowd was bombarded by Hong Tao and slowly dispersed. Among them, a fat woman revealed a more important information to Hong Tao.

"Okay, I said why did my tobacco leaves get sick? It turned out that it was you who brought them. You can compensate me!" Baixiang was already in a state of indifference and had no place to vent her anger. When she heard that this person had been to the sugarcane field two days ago, she immediately turned her finger on her, stood up and rushed over to fight to the death.

"Stop! What does it look like? My own field is sick and feels uncomfortable. It is understandable that it will be over to scold me. Who gives you the right to blame others? Can you do this by being the emperor's wife? Who taught you! I'll ask Bo Zhu to see if she taught you and go home!" Baixiang and herself got angry, Hong Tao could always coax her with a smile, but if she bullies others and makes unreasonable trouble with others, it would be beyond her bottom line. If you find this thing, you have to deal with it seriously once. You must not be used to this problem, otherwise it will be difficult to correct it in the future.

"...Wuwuwu..." Hong Tao rarely gets angry with others, and is also smiling with his family, but if he gets angry, no one is not afraid of it. Because you don't know what he will do, he is lower than you without a bottom line, and he doesn't want it even more shameless. Baixiang immediately didn't dare to make trouble anymore and walked home crying.

"Ah... political marriage hurts people! You guys who are not married yet must remember. In the future, you must be happy with your husband. Don't listen to your parents' arrangements, let alone anything outside of your body. Only people and temper can live a comfortable life." Looking at Baixiang's back, Hong Tao sighed. If you were asked to choose, you would never marry her. The two of them had no common language at all. It's not that Baixiang is not good, but that his system is not very compatible with her software. I can't change this problem, but I can use this as an example to warn these unmarried girls and let them take it as a warning.

"Bah... Go quickly, don't listen, don't listen, don't come to his house to work in the future. What is this saying?" Unfortunately, Hong Tao's words did not resonate, but instead made several women anxious. There is no emperor who encourages other people's children to not listen to their parents' words. This is too unreliable.

Hong Tao did not continue to get entangled with these women and could not explain the truth with them. So he might as well go and check out the condition of the sugarcane field. Jinhewan has not had any large-scale agricultural disasters in recent years. The monkeys, wild boars and rabbits who often come to the fields to steal food were scared away. As for pests, they can't control it. In this era, these small insects cannot be prevented from farming. Their damage has been pre-calculated into the harvest.

However, large-scale crop diseases are more troublesome. If not controlled, it may lead to large-scale production reductions and even a possibility of no-cropping. Even if Jinhecheng does not focus on agricultural production, even if a mu of grain is not planted, it will not affect everyone's quality of life. However, people have not completely changed from the mentality of the agricultural economy, and most people in Jinhecheng are willing to plant some land. No matter how much they harvest, they will feel at ease when they see the green fields.

Another more important problem is that other grain-producing areas of the empire, sugarcane fields, and corn fields, are mostly planted on a large scale in the vassal states. Once they are infected with diseases that spread too quickly, it will be really troublesome.

Although Jinhe City will not be short of food at that time, it will seriously affect the economic development of those colonies. If the local residents are unable to eat enough, the rule of this colony will soon come to an end. Instead of building a large number of warships and equiping a large number of soldiers to suppress the resistance of the colonial people, it is better to plan ahead and consider how to treat the diseases of these crops. This cost is definitely more cost-effective than building warships and sending troops, and the effect is 100 times better.

"Uncle Huang, it is probably not a problem to just rely on manual lime water on every sick leaf. You have also seen that lime water doesn't seem to work very well, and the spreading speed is a bit fast. Not only are the crops on the farm sick on a large scale, but even the imperial villages on the east side of the city have this disease. Let everyone rest and don't do this useless work. I'll think of other ways to see if it works. If it doesn't work, these crops will have to be burned to avoid affecting planting in the next season. What do you think?"

The situation was worse than Hong Tao expected. The condition was even worse in the Imperial State-owned Farm. This rust-like condition has swept the entire farm. The old man Huanghai is mobilizing all the workers on the farm. The family members are carrying lime water to scrub each rusty leaf. At present, he only has a disinfection tool like lime water.
