Jing Suke has been quite pleased with himself lately.
As the head of the 'Crownthorn' tobacco industry, Jing Suke doesn't need to scramble for money like other family members. With just a light touch, he can skim a fair amount of profit from the daily gold influx.
Not only does he have a villa in the inner city, but he also maintains eight concubines in the outer city. After all, his wife is a woman of the Zhou family, known for her fierceness, so he has to sneak around even to buy a concubine.
Tobacco and iron have always been the two major industries of the Jing Family, but the rise of the tobacco industry is quite legendary: previously, the Jing Family were merely rough-hewn mine owners who made money by extracting iron and coal. At that time, cigarettes were luxury goods enjoyed only by upper-middle-class people.
