"Master Shao is here? Please, do you want to set up a cigarette bureau for you?"

"Credit me another two taels of silver, I promise, I will pay it back next month..."

"Mom, I don't want to come here, I want to go back."

"Damn it, that's your daughter, you can't sell it like this."

……

Before everyone could react, the red door behind the rich merchant opened, and Yingying Yanyan's laughter came from inside.Next to the gate was written the words Zhao Mansion, and many men and women came in and out through the main gate.There are wealthy sons with braids and brocade clothes, as well as poor civilians who are sluggish and dilapidated.But without exception, these people were all holding big cigarette sticks in their hands, and they looked like they were puffing.

Judging from the NPC's clothes, it should be early spring now.If it wasn't for the scorching sun and the clear air, everyone would have thought they had come to the scene of a zombie movie.These people look numb, and they look almost like zombie movies...

The luxuriously dressed young master was carried in by the servants.Poor smokers are either begging for credit or paying off their wives and children. These have become two extreme phenomena in front of the Zhao mansion.

"It's disgusting, isn't this little girl about our age? Is she being sold into a brothel now?"

"Don't dare to look. Do you want to help them?"

"Big cigarettes hurt people. How dare you sell your child for big cigarettes?"

After seeing the girl who was about to be sold into a brothel, everyone felt a little indignant.The girl pulling back and forth in front of her was only about fifteen years old, wearing a gray linen jacket, her hair was messed up, and her face was covered with bruises.The girl is thin and skinny, no more than seventy kilograms...

The girl was about the same age as them, but the two lived two completely different lives.

"You guys stop!" Fifteen or sixteen years old is the age when the sense of justice is overwhelming. At this time, many students couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to stop it.But like watching a movie, their hands pass through the bodies of NPCs-these NPCs can't see them at all.

"Mom, save me, save me!"

"Master Liu, this money?"

"Seven taels of silver. From now on, no matter whether she lives or dies, this girl is a member of our Zhao Mansion."

"Of course, thank you Master Liu."

"Sin, how could you sell Chunwa to such a place..."

In the end, the girl was tied up by two big men and pulled into the Zhao mansion.The maroon gate was closed, and the old man who sold his daughter was counting the taels of silver.Next to it was the wailing of a woman.

Seeing this, several soft-hearted female students' eyes became moist.Forced buying and strong selling is an old-fashioned plot in China's film and television dramas. Everyone didn't feel it when watching it, but they didn't expect that when it was shown in front of their eyes, it would make people so sad.

"Students, this year is 1839. Since 20 years, Britain has been smuggling opium into Guangdong, and this behavior is becoming more and more rampant. The Qing Dynasty has long been corrupted by opium..." Zhang Pingping is 26 years old this year. Graduated from campus.She has been a bit more busy with things, but she is a little girl after all.When Zhang Pingping saw the scene of selling children for opium, his heart seemed to be pulled.Zhang Pingping calmed down a bit, and began to popularize science with his classmates.

Her teacher panel has introductions like the year, geographical location, and key figures.

At this time, the year: May 1839.Location: Foshan, Guangdong.Key Persons: None at this time.

Sixty students heard the words and listened carefully.The scene in front of me has gradually expanded from a small alley to the entire Foshan.Everyone saw the terroir of Foshan in the late Qing Dynasty. In addition, there were many tall foreigners.This is an era where feudalism and colonialism intersect.

"Love Jue Luo Minning told the ancestors that foreign opium will be wiped out in the 19th year of Daoguang. God bless the Qing Dynasty. After the opium catastrophe, our Qing Dynasty will surely bring peace to the world and repel the barbarians... According to Lin Zexu, Guangdong opium will be wiped out. Destroy it on the spot."

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

Everyone turned around in Foshan, and the scene in front of them gradually became unreal.An extremely majestic ethereal sound came from mid-air.

The sound disappeared, and everyone found themselves standing on a huge wooden stand.Below the stands are nearly a thousand Qing soldiers wearing flower feathers.The soldiers hold spears in their hands, solemn and solemn.There are many people beside it.

"I, Lin Zexu, wrote to His Majesty Daoguang, and I am now presiding over the sale of cigarettes in Humen. This time, the sale of cigarettes in Humen should be seen by all the people, so that our Qing Dynasty will shock the barbarians." In this solemn atmosphere, only a nearly fifty-year-old , the old man with a goatee took two steps forward and said loudly.

After the old man finished speaking, nearly a hundred shirtless, braided dock workers stepped forward.The workers carried hemp rope baskets filled with saltpeter powder and opium.

After the workers walked to the pier, they dumped the baskets into the smoke pool——

"it is good!"

"Master Qingtian, this harmful thing is finally gone."

"Long live His Majesty Daoguang, long live, long live!"

At the moment when the basket fell, countless people wept with joy, and many women and children knelt in the direction of the capital.They were all victims of opium.Now that cigarettes are sold out in Humen, everyone is finally no longer persecuted by opium.

Hundreds of baskets fell down, the smoke pool was bubbling, and a lot of white smoke was rising.

In the stands of Humen, tears welled up in Lin Zexu's eyes, and then he made a grand ceremony for the emperor and his ministers towards the capital.Lin Zexu's heart was attached to the Qing Dynasty. At this time, he seemed to see the dawn of the Qing Dynasty becoming stronger again.

On the highest stand in Humen, Zhang Keke and other students looked at this with complicated hearts.Everyone has been fascinated by it since childhood, and naturally knows that the destruction of opium in Humen is the fuse of the Opium War.The Opium War was also the beginning of China's formal entry into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society...

"Students, let's preview the knowledge about the sale of cigarettes in Humen and the Opium War. The next class will focus on asking questions." The 45-minute class time passed in a flash.After taking off his glasses, Zhang Pingping's nose was still slightly red.She has a solid foundation in history. After reading about the history of Humen's cigarette sales, she only felt the impact of Humen's cigarette sales on Chinese history.But no matter how many feelings...she didn't feel it.

Feel the history, learn the history.In the VR game just now, Zhang Pingping felt the difficulty of his ancestors.

"Goodbye, classmates." When the get out of class bell rang, Zhang Pingping picked up the textbooks, greeted the students, and left in a panic.Her nose was sore and a little red, the first day of school... She didn't want the students to notice her mess.

"The scene just now, hey."

"At first I thought that Lin Zexu was just a name. The destruction of cigarettes in Humen was just an incident, but combined with the historical background at that time, it was so sad."

"I really want to know about Lin Zexu's life information. I'll search it online."

"Lin Zexu was the initiator of 'Learning skills from barbarians to control barbarians', and was later compiled by Wei Yuan in [Pictures of the Sea Country], which became the guiding ideology in the early stage of the Westernization Movement... Wei Yuan, [Pictures of the Sea Country], Westernization Movement, teacher Barbarians use their skills to control barbarians! Students, this is the test site, circle the key points."

"Old Wang. It's time for the end of get out of class, you are so energetic... you are too academic?"

"After what Old Wang said, combined with the VR game just now, I actually remembered... At least I won't confuse Wei Yuan with [Haiguo Tuzhi]."

……

15 minutes after class was over, the students were still shocked by the sale of cigarettes in Humen.The Humen sale of cigarettes just now is different from the Humen sale of cigarettes in the textbook. In the game just now, they can better understand the harm of opium in that era and the determination of some aspiring ministers to change the status quo.

After the shock, many students used their mobile phones to search for the impact of the opium war in Humen.Combined with the previous real scene and the current consolidation, the students were surprised to find that they seemed to have a better understanding of the knowledge point of selling cigarettes in Humen.

In addition to learning the history of Humen's tobacco sales, everyone is also full of expectations for the next course.It's just that they regret that because of the pilot teaching, the VR glasses belong to the school equipment and cannot be taken home for the time being, and can only be used in history class.

The teaching video in [History VR] is like a cat's paw, which makes the students' hearts itch. The VR glasses are produced by Dafeng VR, and I don’t know if they can be bought on the official website of Dafeng...

……

"Boss Shen, I'm the driver sent by Mr. Qian. Mr. Qian is handling business in Beijing now, and he won't be able to fly over until three o'clock in the afternoon..." Just when the students of Beijing No. [-] Middle School were excited about [History VR], Luo Hai International Airport.Shen Rui and Song Yu dragged their suitcases off the plane, and a tall middle-aged man in his forties picked him up at the exit.

The Huaxia Gold Trophy finals were originally scheduled to be held in mid-August, but there were too many teams signing up.The competition was lengthened, and the final was also changed to September [-]th.

The final venue of the Huaxia Gold Trophy is scheduled to be held at the Luohai Gymnasium. Today is the [-]th, and Shen Rui and Song Yu arrived one day earlier.

The middle-aged man pulled the luggage of the two into the car, and then drove towards Luohai Hotel together.Luohai Hotel is adjacent to Luohai Grand Theatre, and it is also a relatively high-end hotel in the southern area of ​​Luohai.

"Sorry sir, there are more tourists during the gold trophy final. There are no more rooms left."

"Check the system to see if anyone has checked out today."

"Sorry, no check out."

"Boss Shen, I didn't book any extra rooms... Otherwise, I'll go to another hotel?" The middle-aged man went to the front desk to process the reservation, while Shen Rui and Song Yu waited in the lobby.After 3 minutes, I saw a middle-aged man running over with small steps, and said apologetically.

The man is in charge of the reservation work.It's just that Dafeng said before that Shen Rui came here alone.He booked a room with a big presidential bed, but he didn't expect that besides Shen Rui, there was another young man.He didn't know about Shen Rui's habits, so he could only ask tentatively.

Luohai Gymnasium is located in the South District of Luohai. It has just been developed in recent years, and there are not many hotels and restaurants.There are other hotels near the gymnasium, but they are not as large as the Luohai Hotel. Now it is the golden trophy period, so I don’t know if I can still book a room.

"You don't need to be too particular, we can live wherever we want." Shen Rui waved his hands when he heard the words.He naturally saw the middle-aged man's embarrassment. After speaking, Shen Rui turned to Song Yu.

Song Yu nodded.

Shen Rui had no objection, and Song Yu had even less objection.

In this way, the two registered their ID cards, and then took the elevator together.The room number is 1808, a rather auspicious number.

"Boss Shen, I'm in room 1102. If you have something to do, just call me directly." After putting away the luggage of Shen Rui and his wife, the middle-aged man said.The man was not Qian Jucai's assistant, but a department manager of Goose Peng Luohai Branch.The manager's reputation is not small, but in front of such big men as Shen Rui and Qian Jucai, he will naturally have to pinch his tail.

"Thank you, Manager Liu." Upon hearing this, Shen Rui thanked her.

After Manager Liu left, Shen Rui turned on the TV.It was playing [Jade Lover Kim Hyun-ji], a recently popular Korean drama.

"You sleep inside at night, I'll just sleep on the sofa." Shen Rui turned the volume to medium, and then said to Song Yu. 1808 is a presidential suite with exquisite facilities.But no matter how exquisite it is, there is only one big bed inside...

Just now Manager Liu asked, the room is full for the past two days, and there is no way to add an extra bed in the room.

"We can sleep together." Song Yu glanced inside. The entire bed was a 2.5x3 oversized bed, which was enough for two people to lie down.

"I can watch TV." Shen Rui waved his hand. He knew his sexual orientation, and it was definitely inappropriate for two people to share the same bed.But it's one o'clock in the afternoon, so it's a bit early to talk about going to bed.

Shen Rui made himself a cup of coffee and watched TV.Song Yu sat next to Shen Rui and didn't say much.The whole atmosphere is somewhat comfortable.

At seven o'clock in the evening, after cleaning up, Shen Rui and Song Yu walked towards the restaurant on the top floor.Qian Jucai just got off the plane, and as a bigwig in the industry, he must have a welcome reception or something.

Shen Rui is now an upstart in China's top business circle, and he has the money to gather money to pull strings from it, so of course he will attend.
