During these days, Lin Zi really felt that he had forgotten something important. At this moment, the word opium popped up in his mind, and he wished he could slap himself a few times. made.

Thinking of the time and space in the previous life, the two Opium Wars engulfed the entire country bit by bit, there was once such a Qing Dynasty who was dragged into the abyss like this, how many people were destroyed, and how many people paid the price of blood for a generation The hard work of generations has allowed the poppies, which are as red as blood-sucked, to take root in this land, to be uprooted and eventually disappear.

Accepting national compulsory education since childhood, the annual drug rehabilitation day, watching movies organized by the school, and watching documentaries and news reports when he grew up, all let Lin Zizhen deeply understand the dangers of drugs, from small to one person and a family, to large corrupt a country.

As for the fourth master next to him, it was rare for Lin Zizhen to come so suddenly and startle himself.Could it be that he has really squeezed the guy so hard recently that he is going crazy right now.

"But I'll just ask you. It's fine if I don't remember it. I can still blame you. Why did I beat myself?" Seeing that the face of this man was swollen, he didn't know what to say for a moment. Going out with this face, I'm afraid that people outside don't know how to arrange it, and not only Hong Yun, Kang Le, but also Fujin and Hong Hui will come to talk to him.

Lin Zizhen didn't care about the fourth master's reaction at the moment, and hurriedly pulled people and said eagerly: "I almost forgot a big event, whether it is the opening of maritime trade, or sending people to sail next, we must give Let everyone popularize the dangers of opium, and smoking opium is strictly prohibited.”

After finishing speaking, he didn't give fourth master a chance to answer, and said: "I should have heard about opium, it's what we often call opium, □□. Once you take it, it's extremely easy to become addicted, and it's even more ruinous than gambling Selling bones, when addicted, mad and demented, can do anything, and it is extremely difficult to get rid of the root addiction. The emperor of the previous dynasty also issued a ban on smoking, and the harm can be imagined.

One or two seems harmless, but if it spreads, it will shake the foundation of the country, endanger the country, and cause disaster for the country.Especially with the frequent foreign trade, while bringing huge profits to the Qing Dynasty, there are also hidden crises. Compared with the goods brought by foreigners, our goods are more popular and better-selling.

Those foreigners are not stupid either. Those who established the country through commerce put profit more seriously. Once they find that they are in a disadvantageous position in their trade with us, they will try their best to change this situation.It is said that opium accounts for a large part of their trade with India. "

After finishing speaking in one breath, Lin Zizhen looked at Fourth Master with a stern expression, wishing to drag him to change time and space to see the tragic late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China due to the scourge of opium.

The fourth master heard this, even if he didn't know how Lin Zizhen's mind jumped to opium, but soon he began to extract things related to opium in his mind, and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. You know, things like Wushi powder are used by many idiots for fun, but this thing is extremely harmful to the body, and even makes people crazy, making them different from ordinary people.

Now it sounds like opium is even more dreadful than Wushisan. He really trusts Lin Zi, and he knows that Lin Zi really won't lie to him about this kind of thing.

Things that can be addictive are probably better to use a person than demagogy. He has seen people who are addicted to gambling. After leaving the gambling table, his hand was cut off, and he appeared in the casino the next day.

Although the Qing Dynasty also had a decree on smoking bans, they did not pay much attention to it.Now, if those foreigners are really wantonly selling this opium on the land of the Qing Dynasty, then their purpose is hard to say.

"I've made a note of this matter. I'll send the order later. Let people start to investigate from the coastal areas to see the situation." Fourth Master pondered for a while and said.

This matter can't just be written down, no matter how important it is, Lin Zizhen is also afraid that the fourth master will be too busy and leave this matter aside, so he asks for orders immediately: "Your Majesty, I hope that this matter can be handed over to the minister. Take over."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll let the people below cooperate with you. It's rare that you don't think about being lazy all day long. In the past, you used to talk about your ideas, and when it was time to do things, you threw them to others. Others, if you are like this, I sometimes want to reward you, and it is hard to ask for a promotion." Lin Zizhen has always been a person who can be lazy when he can, and it seems that he attaches great importance to opium.Thinking of this, fourth master brought this matter up again in his heart.

Just during this time, some people from the Ministry of Industry came out. The application of steam engines, whether it is used for mining, pumping water, weaving, or even trains, he only needs to point out the general direction, and the rest can be handed over to They pondered slowly.

In this way, he can free up a lot of time, just in time to grasp the matter of smoking ban.It is much better to prevent problems before they happen than to deal with them when they happen.He must let everyone see the dangers of opium. In this life, those foreigners don't want to use opium to earn silver from the Qing Dynasty while eroding this land.

........

Lin Zizhen, who took over the smoking ban, showed his talents for the first time in Qing Dynasty. In the eyes of others, it was deeply loved by two generations of emperors, and even his sons were enlightened by the new emperor, and they were raised under the knee of the new emperor just like the princes and watched them grow up.

However, he is usually mild-tempered and humorous. He belongs to the kind of high-profile work and low-key life, so that he does not have a high sense of presence in the court, but it is normal. There are princes in the front, Zhang Tingyu in the cabinet, and the arrogant Long Kedo. Lin Zizhen couldn't show it for a while.

But careful and discerning people know that many development decisions in the Qing Dynasty are closely related to this person.

With the emperor's appointment and support, Lin Zizhen's actions this time can be said to be bold and resolute, and he is not procrastinating at all.

He sent people to investigate the situation of opium smoking in the capital. Fortunately, there were such people, but not too many. After all, opium at this time was a luxury. There are rich merchants.

And among these people, there are still quite a few brains. According to Lin Zizhen's investigation, most of those who are addicted now are playboys who love to eat and play, and some are wealthy businessmen.

Lin Zizhen recorded the names of these people one by one, and had two of them arrested.

At the same time, I also searched for Master Jiu, Master Shi, and Fourteen, and asked about the situation in Guangzhou. If I didn’t ask, I didn’t know. I was shocked when I asked.

Even Master Jiu and the others here are quite a few people who are filial to the people below, but as a prince, he still has some knowledge about opium, five stone powder, etc., knowing that it is harmful to the body, and no one touches it.Of course, the most important thing is that as soon as they arrived in Guangzhou, they fought wars, and then they were busy training soldiers, making money, and handling internal affairs.

Although there are a lot of people below, they have to make up their minds about many things. If there is any free time left, at most, they can just search for some delicious food and use it to rest, so they have time to hunt for novelties.

Now Lin Zizhen came to ask, the three of them were still a little curious, Lin Zizhen just smiled meaningfully, and left an invitation for the three of them, see you in the palace tomorrow.

At the same time, besides the three of them, all members of the royal family also received invitations.

By the next day, all members of the royal family, including the fourth master, and the young Hong Yun and others were there.At this moment, everyone's face was a little pale and blue.

Just witnessed two well-dressed little brothers, in front of them, from smoking addiction, a face changed back and forth from pleading to resentment, twisted and deformed, and finally fell to the ground constantly twitching, trembling, tears and nose, even incontinence, and self-mutilation.

Even the princes who had seen the big scene were speechless for a while, and there seemed to be two pleading and roaring in their ears. They already knew the identities of the people around them, but they still didn't curse rationally.

The faces of the younger princes and elder brothers from various families were even more ugly.

Lin Zizhen doesn’t need to say anything now. Everyone in the royal family understands the dangers of opium. They dare not think about it. Not to mention that everyone in the Qing Dynasty smoked it. Whoever controls opium controls the country.

Even Prince Zhi, who had experienced many battles, felt a little cold at the moment.He directly opened his mouth and cursed: "This ghost thing must have been deliberately made by those foreigners to punish us. It's too evil. We must quickly get rid of the camps in the suburbs of Beijing, as well as the guards in the palace and the Eight Banners."

Prince Li's face turned blue. Firstly, it was due to cleanliness. Two living people showed their ugliness in a face-to-face kiss, and he was incontinent. Second, it was more of fear. Can easily suck up their entire country.

"Things that harm the country and ruin the country, destroy the people and destroy the country, not only need to be investigated, but also those who sell this thing behind the scenes must start from the source." Prince Li said coldly.

Emperor Kangxi, who had been promoted to the Supreme Emperor, was grinding his teeth even more at this moment. "A thorough investigation, a thorough investigation, anyone who dares to sell opium in the Qing Dynasty will be sentenced to death!" He did not expect that there is such a big crisis hidden under the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. He dare not imagine that if these people succeed, What will the Qing Dynasty be like?

The ninth, the tenth, and the fourteenth were even more frightened. Fortunately, they didn't touch these things desperately.But when I turned around and thought about those opium dens in Guangzhou today, my scalp felt numb for a while.

The old fourteen even shouted loudly: "Master's navy, I have to go back quickly, and go back and investigate one by one." Seeing that this happened just before departure, it was so frightening.

At this time, the third child said with a trembling voice: "Either, or else, close the sea trade first, these ghost things are brought by those foreigners, they are really worried and kind." He was about to die.

As soon as these words came out, the ninth, tenth, and even the fourteenth wanted to refute, but they couldn't react for a while.

Lao Ba, who had been silent for a long time, said at this moment: "No, even if the sea trade is stopped, this thing will still flow into the Qing Dynasty quietly. If so, it is better to continue to develop the sea trade, which will not only enrich the treasury, but also And you can take the initiative.”

As soon as the words came out, not only Fourth Master, but most of the others agreed, and shut it down directly, obviously giving up eating because of choking.

However, this incident also gave everyone a blow to the head, and made everyone's vigilance against these overseas countries reach [-].

When all the members of the royal family diverged their thinking and brainstormed various conspiracy theories, overseas countries didn't know it at all. If they knew it, they would probably cry out that they were wronged. They didn't think so far at all, they just wanted to make money.

The following performances were staged several times. Many ministers, officials, and even some common people witnessed with their own eyes those people's ignorance and insanity.

The newly established Propaganda Department was also running crazily. All kinds of stories about the dangers of opium, and because of smoking opium, ruined the family, sold children, and betrayed relatives began to spread among the people.

And Lin Zizhen is not idle, as long as there are opium smokers in the capital, no matter what their status, he will be caught and locked up in a drug rehabilitation concentration camp for compulsory drug rehabilitation.

This is not bad, although many of the family members were crying and making noise, or they came to bribe them, or begged their children to bring more waiters, but in the end they should be driven away.

The trouble is catching those people who sell opium behind their backs. They develop quickly and catch a lot of people. The officials involved are directly arrested one by one and sent to prison.

When interests are touched, it is inevitable that some people will start to attack and criticize Lin Zizhen. They feel that his methods are too radical, and he is suspected of eliminating dissidents and killing political opponents.
