Chapter 150 Colorful Sunshine (Please subscribe!)

The tobacco industry has always been regarded as a highly profitable industry.

A pack of cigarettes that sells for dozens of yuan may actually cost only a few yuan.

Of course, it is also a highly taxed industry.

In the previous life, the taxes paid by the tobacco industry alone in one year could equal the military expenditure of the Flower Cultivation Family for a whole year! This is more than the total amount of taxes paid by the major Internet giants combined!

You thought you were smoking?

No! Actually you are paying taxes to the country!

The consumption tax for Class A cigarettes alone is as high as 56% plus 0.003 yuan per cigarette! Moreover, this does not include value-added tax, corporate income tax and other various taxes and fees...

but……

No matter what, all the profits from the tobacco industry will be stuffed into the treasury of Idar County.

Therefore, for Bruno, there is actually no difference between huge profits and huge taxes.

To be honest, some things are more profitable than tobacco.

but,

Bruno, as an excellent nobleman of the new era with a sense of morality and justice, a benevolent heart and various noble qualities, would never touch anything that challenges the moral bottom line! After all, although people often say that smoking is harmful to health, and many cigarette boxes in the previous life were printed with pictures of some patients' lungs that turned black and oily due to smoking...

But that was on Earth! In this era when the average age is only 30 or 40 years old,

I am afraid that before the smoker's lungs suffer too much damage and start to go on strike, their owners have already died for various reasons...

Frequent conflicts and wars, unexpected natural disasters and the extremely harsh living environment of civilians in this era are far more harmful to them than tobacco!

Moreover, the huge profits that tobacco can bring are simply hard for Bruno to refuse! Of course, although tobacco has huge profits, in Bruno's plan, tobacco cultivation is only limited to the Fran Islands.

After all, in the current situation where the war situation is still unclear, food is everything! There are many ways to make money, and growing tobacco is just one of them.

Moreover, by growing tobacco and making cigarettes, Idar Territory can provide more jobs and employment opportunities for civilians, which is also of great significance for stabilizing the social order in Idar Territory.

After all, although the refugees from the northern border who poured into Idar Territory from the mouth of the Solon River could increase the population of Idar Territory, if they were not well managed, they would also induce many unstable factors.

With the Fran Islands, all these problems are solved.

All the extra refugees were sent to the Fran Islands to grow tobacco. This would not only reduce the pressure on Idar's territory, but also speed up the development of the Fran Islands! Although Bruno decided to impose military control on the French Island and not allow unrelated personnel to land on the island, the number of people needed to develop the other seven islands alone was a huge number.

Furthermore, these refugees who came from the northern border must have suffered countless hardships and tribulations along the way.

Although growing tobacco was hard work, it was nothing compared to what they had been through.

Because for them, having a meal given by a noble lord is already a great blessing.

You should know...

Bruno is the only imperial noble who took them in!

Although such a move would certainly not make these refugees grateful, it would definitely calm the helplessness and fear in their hearts and make them work conscientiously for Lord Idar.

As for the coffee mentioned earlier... although the profit alone is definitely not as good as tobacco, it can also enrich the merchandise of Idar Territory.

As for the lack of profit...it can be made up by raising the price!

Because coffee, like sugar, will target the nobles of various countries on the continent.

After all... For those poor civilians who had no food to eat and could not even fill their stomachs, how could they have spare money to buy drinks? In this era, the drinks consumed by the nobles were pitifully few. Most of the nobles drank milk, goat milk, low-alcohol beer, wine, etc.

But this is not because they like it, but because they only have these few choices.

And coffee...

You know, in the previous life, when coffee was introduced to Europe in the name of "Japanese wine" through Venetian merchants and the Dutch who held maritime hegemony, this black drink with a rich taste and charming aroma was sought after by the aristocracy, and the value of coffee also rose.

So much so that it was given the name "black gold"!

Sea salt is called "white gold".

Coral is called "red gold".

Plus coffee, which is called "black gold",

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Bruno tried to collect seven colors of gold this morning, to collect seven colors...

etc,

Bruno suddenly realized that he could let those weak wizard apprentices do the Colorful Sunshine Radio Gymnastics several times every morning!

If he were on the Faran Islands, Bruno could exercise all the time, but... the space on the ship was too small to run...

However, in order to keep myself connected to this body, necessary exercise is definitely necessary...

Therefore, Bruno naturally thought of the famous radio gymnastics for primary and secondary school students in the previous life - Colorful Sunshine! This was a necessary skill for primary and secondary school students in the previous life to keep fit! Perfect!

It was under the impetus of this sudden idea that Bruno personally practiced the "Colorful Sunshine" radio gymnastics every day during the journey from the Fran Islands back to Idar Territory, so as to remember as many details of the movements as possible...

After all, only when I recall it can I teach it to my students who are studying mathematics hard after returning to Idar Territory!

When Bruno thought of his students who were still studying hard in Idar and immersed in the wonderful world of mathematics, he felt a little admiration from the bottom of his heart...

Good performance must be rewarded! When I return... I will definitely reward them with a midterm exam!

In this way, the apprentice mages will be able to know the effect of their learning during this period of time, presumably...

They should be very happy!

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."

Bruno sat in a chair, shouting the beat and arranging the body movements of the idle sailors.

As expected, physical exercise really tests one's willpower. Even my throat feels a little thirsty...
