Everyone is attacking me

Emperor Yuan Qing was in a very good mood.

Less than a month after the opening of the bank, Wang An gave him a big surprise with the turnover. Whether it was active or passive, the money deposited in the bank from honorable officials to wealthy merchants and farmers far exceeded his expectations.

This is just the beginning, and there are still many people who are cautiously waiting and watching. The nature of the bank's operations. Smart people will understand after a little research. Although depositing money in protects the property, it also exposes one's savings, especially if the money is not right. some people.

Even those aboveboard wealthy businessmen have to think about it, after all, their wealth is not revealed.

Except for those who really think the bank is convenient, most of them are just perfunctory due to government orders.

But even so, the wealth accumulated by the eight banks in the entire Chang'an City still surprised and even shocked Emperor Yuan Qing.

He knew that although the honorable ministers cried to him that they were poor, they were not actually so, but he never thought that he was far richer than he thought. When the Great Wei and the Xiongnu went to war, the Taifu proposed to hope that the honorable ministers would actively donate money, but he took it out. It's not as much as the odds on the current report.

Emperor Yuan Qing thought of the faces of those courtiers at that time, and then looked at the report in front of him, only felt great irony.

This is just Chang'an City, and it's just the beginning. If banks are spread throughout the Great Wei, the amount of property deposited will shock the world.

Fortunately, the bank does not simply provide others to save money, otherwise the fee alone would not last long. The key point is the interest rate difference between deposits and loans, and with these working funds, some things that were put on hold before can be carried out quickly.

However, the good mood was gone when I saw the performance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

What the Yuan and Qing emperors saw was a document from the ambassador to Cochin, but it was not Cochin mentioned above, but Chenla, the neighboring country of Cochin.

There is a big smoke in Chenla!

Eight years ago, there was a traveler named Wang Wu who created a big smoke in Yunnan and controlled several officials to rebel. He was discovered by the imperial physician who went to the free clinic. Later, he himself was caught by Shao Yan and committed suicide.

At that time, in order to put an end to the opium, the Emperor Yuan and Qing dealt with a large number of people vigorously and vigorously, whether they were tough or gentle, and used all kinds of means to battle, and finally did not let the opium spread in the Great Wei.

Over the years, the dangers of opium have been continuously publicized through newspapers and public opinion, and even the relevant plots have been embedded in stage plays. Now anyone in Dawei will know how terrible opium is.

Poppies were strictly controlled as a contraband in the Wei Dynasty. Only the experimental gardens were planted, and the folks basically disappeared. Once they found out who secretly planted them, they would be rewarded for reporting. After being discovered, they would be severely punished according to the law. Some people were even found to be smoking opium. There will be a reaction later, and you can also report it for inspection.

Even if the Tai Hospital wants to use poppy as medicine, it has to write an application first, and it can only be collected in the experimental garden after being approved by the emperor of Yuan and Qing Dynasties.

There are a lot of laws set up for opium alone, and the list is enough to make people speechless.

Under such strict and even harsh regulations, Dayan was basically extinct in the territory of Wei.

However, the Yuan and Qing emperors could control the Great Wei, but they could not control other countries. Although he notified the dangers of opium to other countries at the beginning, the international newspaper also promoted it from time to time, and signed treaties with various countries to resolutely put an end to other countries. Bringing opium poppies into the Great Wei Dynasty, border merchants are explicitly prohibited from buying and selling opium poppies.

So when he saw the document, although he was angry, it was more of a sense of finality that it had finally come.

He had expected this day to come.

Everything has two sides. He did publicize the dangers of opium and put an end to the existence of poppies, but at the same time, he also told everyone in disguise that there is such a thing in this world.

There are always some people in the world, the more they are not allowed to do something, the more they want to do it, just like a child molester. Some people are not necessarily because they like it, but just for excitement.

Did those high-ranking celebrities really not know anything about the dangers of Wushi San in the Wei and Jin Dynasties?

Once something like opium is contaminated once, it is difficult to get rid of it again. Once someone curiously researches it, I am afraid that it will spread quickly like a plague.

At the beginning, Wang Wu was scheming, what he wanted was to hold these people in Mu Sheng's hands, so naturally he would not spread it widely.

But this time the situation in Chenla is different. A rich man specially ordered someone to study it for him out of curiosity. As I said before, the more it is banned, the more he wants to try it. The rich man learned about opium smoke through newspapers. I was curious about this thing and wanted to see it with my own eyes, but I didn't expect it to become a reality, and soon I became addicted to it. Within half a year, I took the whole family to smoke it together, and I don't know what kind of psychology it is, wantonly Soon, half of the city where he was located was eroded by the smoke, and then rapidly expanded to the whole country.

Chenla happened to be a country suitable for growing poppies. Within a year, nearly half of the upper-class nobles followed suit, even the current king!

However, no matter how many poppies there are in Chenla, they can’t afford such a cost. Those people in Chenla who can’t live without their red eyes turn their attention to the two neighbors, namely Cochin and Bagan. These two countries are also suitable for planting poppies. However, since King Jiaozhi completely expressed his surrender like Wei, he also followed suit and ordered the removal of poppies. Although he was not as harsh as Wei, it was less than half. Although Bagan also recognized the country, he did not care about it, so Chenla bought poppies towards Bagan.

However, it was the ambassador in Cochin, not Bagan, who sent the documents, and even the ambassador in Chenla never mentioned this matter.

It is not difficult to guess that the ambassadors of these two countries have already been infected with opium, whether they voluntarily or forcedly, because they know that Wei is strict with opium, so they dare not report it.

The ugly face of Emperor Yuan Qing just now was not because of the reappearance of the big smoke, but more because of this.

The reappearance of big smoke was within his expectations, even two years later than he expected.

There are sincere and kind people in this world, and there are also those kind of insidious and vicious people, whose benefits are touching people's hearts. Knowing that there is something like opium that can control others, it is inevitable that they will not get angry.

So what if the law is strict, there is also a law to pay for murder, but there are still people who will do it, let alone just study it in private.

He was originally prepared to wait for the big smoke to reappear in the Great Wei one day, but he didn't expect that it was a step ahead, and he didn't know whether to be lucky or a headache.

If it was in the Great Wei Dynasty, with the publicity about the dangers of opium in these years and the current military strength, he is sure to solve it quickly and safely. It is a neighboring country, if left alone, I am afraid it will soon spread to the Great Wei.

Opium smoke is comparable to poison. Even if you don't want to, if you are drugged and framed, it is not easy to get out.

Emperor Yuan Qing thought of this and his heart sank: "Come here, call the Minister of Foreign Affairs Zhou Mingshi to see me."

"Yes."

The little eunuch waiting at the door immediately responded.

After thinking about it, he sent someone to announce Yuan Pei and Taifu.

Now among all the traversers, the one he uses the most has been transferred from Shao Yan to Yuan Pei.

As soon as Yuan Pei will not return to modern times, it is destined that he will care more about and agree with Da Wei than others.

Eight years is enough for him to fully understand Shao Yan and the others. Whether it is Shao Yan, Song Jie or Liang Pingan and Xia Chan, although they have earnestly completed the tasks he entrusted and helped him develop Da Wei, in fact, they did not agree with them from the bottom of their hearts. People from the Great Wei, either want to experience themselves and learn more, or to satisfy their own wishes, they are always wandering outside.

Only Yuan Pei and Sun Zhao really recognized their current identities, and Huang Xiu even integrated into Wei faster than Yuan Pei and Sun Zhao.

Although Yuan Pei is a soul wearer, he was born in the royal family and is a fake princess. His original personality is not attractive, and he has no relationship with other relatives. Besides, he soon got married to Dawei, and he is considered to be alone. No worries.

It's the same with Sun Zhao, he wears clothes, and only after having wives, concubines and heirs in these years, he has cares about him, but because of his character, he hides in the house and doesn't go out without major events, and doesn't interact with others, so how can he blend in.

And the two of them have basically never suffered.

Including Song Jie Xia Chan and the empress Liang Cairen who have already left, they passed through and lived in Chang'an City. Not to mention the prince, Shao Yan's situation is different from other traversers, even Da Wei's stable life can't impress him to go back, let alone others.

So Liang Pingan suffered, he can be said to be the worst among all the traversers, Song Liang's suffering is nothing compared to him, but this also makes Liang Pingan must return to modern times, he stays now, One is to learn more things for the sake of experience, and the other is to have fun, yes to have fun, according to his heart, he is afraid of being honest about his sexuality in modern times because of his parents, not to mention falling in love, and he doesn't even hold hands. happy.

According to Xia Chan, Liu Yuan is Ming Sao and Liang Pingan is Men Sao.

Huang Xiu is different from them. He is an ordinary farmer at the bottom when he travels through time. Not to mention rich clothes and good food, he is just full. Getting along with the Huang family, grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters, etc., it is impossible to remain indifferent.

Moreover, he started from the lowest level county magistrate after the imperial examination, and went deep into the grassroots to understand the people's livelihood. It can be said that he understood and integrated into the Great Wei better than any other time traveler.

When he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, the people saw him off with tears. The so-called parents and officials were nothing more than that.

With his parents and relatives involved, ten years later, he naturally has a greater sense of belonging than Xia Chan.

However, he was shackled by the mission and had to be released from the bottom to rise slowly, so Emperor Yuan Qing still valued Yuan Pei more now.

Secondly, Shao Yan always has to leave. If he participates too much, it will be a lot of trouble to hand over the errand at hand in the future, so it is better to use Yuan Pei directly.

Moreover, as far as being an official is concerned, Yuan Pei is actually much better than Shao Yan. Whether it is dealing with people or dealing with people, Shao Yan is inferior, and Shao Yan is more suitable for leading troops to fight.

So three years ago, he transferred Yuan Pei to the Ministry of Officials for training, and now he is qualified as a doctor in the Ministry of Officials.

Zhou Mingshi and Yuan Pei were both in the previous court, they had bicycles, and they came to the Zichen Palace soon, the Taifu was outside the palace, and it would take a while to arrive.

Emperor Yuan and Qing didn't wait for the two to salute, but directly waved his hand to signal that they would be excused, and asked Xia Gong to give the two people the documents that Zheng Fangcheng, the ambassador to Cochin, had played.

When Zhou Mingshi and Yuan Pei entered the door and saw Emperor Yuan Qing's face, they felt a thump in their hearts. Especially Zhou Mingshi, when he saw the cover of the document, his eyelids jumped wildly. He didn't need to look at the pattern on it, but just by the color, he knew it was a document from their Ministry of Foreign Affairs. No wonder His Majesty summoned him.

I guessed in my heart which country Xu had an accident in, but after reading the document, cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

How much His Majesty hates opium and how strict the laws related to opium are known to all courts, not to mention the courtiers, who go to the street to drag a random citizen to know it, but there are still people who dare to commit crimes knowingly.

Of course he was not talking about the people in Chenla but the ambassadors stationed in Chenla. Although Zheng Fangcheng did not say so clearly, it is not difficult to guess that the ambassadors in Chenla must have been caught in heavy smoke. The king of La took the lead in twitching, how could he not know, but no news came back.

And I'm afraid the Bagan ambassador...

Zhou Mingshi thought in his heart that he would make an apology by bending over.

"Okay." Emperor Yuan Qing interrupted him expressionlessly, not hiding his bad mood, "I didn't call you here to listen to nonsense, give me a solution."

Zhou Mingshi turned his head quickly, thinking about the solution.

Seeing this, Yuan Pei rescued him, and asked: "Maybe this matter is related to the person who made big cigarettes in Wei in the past?"

I mean, is it possible that Wang Wu did this thing.

Emperor Yuan Qing squinted his eyes. It is not impossible. Although Wang Wu committed suicide at the beginning, he had a golden finger that could help him change his soul. Although Shao Yan guessed that his ability to change his soul was only once, it was only Guess, maybe after so many years, his ability can be used again?

Of course, it is also possible that they thought too much.

Yuan Pei glanced at Zhou Mingshi, and Zhou Mingshi immediately leaned over and said, "This matter is due to my negligence and dereliction of duty. I am willing to go to Chenla to find out the truth."

Emperor Yuan and Qing sighed inwardly. Zhou Mingshi was talented, proficient in many languages, and was a clean official. He used to be the minister of Honglu Temple who was only responsible for receiving foreign guests, but he was a bit reluctant to deal with the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Well, now that something has happened it becomes even more apparent.

While motioning to Yuan Pei to help him up, he thought about letting Zhou Mingshi become an official after waiting for this matter. He just happened to be old and had almost reached the required retirement age, and Chang'an College in the south of the Yangtze River was also short of people. With his fame, he can give Liu Yuan some help.

Thinking in his heart, he said: "The smoke has spread in Chenla, I'm afraid I've been prepared, so what if you go?" Without waiting for Zhou Mingshi to reply, he said directly, "Zhou Qing is not feeling well, let's go down and rest for now. "

The implication is that Dai Zui is waiting for the news at home.

Zhou Mingshi's face turned pale, but he couldn't argue with it, so he turned around and backed away.

Emperor Yuan and Qing had already given him face. He set up such a harsh law to ban opium, which was almost a tyranny, and it was impossible to handle it lightly, otherwise what would others think.

When the Grand Tutor entered the palace, his face became serious, and he formally discussed the countermeasures.

The author has something to say: Everyone wants to spoil the drama first. This matter has nothing to do with Wang Wu. It is the reason stated in the document. The rich man has nothing to do. Human curiosity and ability to kill have been from ancient times to the present .
