Wu Qian's eyes swept around the room with cold eyes, how similar this scene was to the smoke house that had poisoned the people of the Celestial Empire, which made his heart feel angry.

"What about the owner of this shop?" Wu Qian asked.

There were customers in the store, and the noise attracted the attention of the people in the inner room, and a middle-aged man lifted the curtain and walked out of the inner room.

The middle-aged man is the owner of this Carter Leaf "chain store", in fact, it is not accurate to call him the boss, all the Carter Leaf shops in the entire Solan country are run by one force, and the owner of the store is just looking after the store.

Judging by his complexion and appearance, the middle-aged man did not seem to be a native of Solan Country, and he saw that the people of the Patriotic Army did not look nervous, but smiled from ear to ear because of the presence of so many guests.

"Good morning, bosses, I've got you some fine Carter leaves, please wait. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man was about to turn around and pick up the goods, and he was very attentive.

Wu Qian watched coldly as the boss walked towards the inner room, he turned around and asked, "Is there anyone in your army who eats this kind of leaves?"

A person who was obviously a non-commissioned officer came out and saluted and said, "Back to Mr. Wu's words, people who chew Carter leaves will not be allowed to exist in the army, and if they are found, they will definitely be expelled from the army!"

Wu Qian's gaze swept over the faces of the soldiers of the Patriotic Army, and found that no one's eyes were flickering, which proved that the credibility of this news was very high.

"Good. ”

Wu Qian nodded, just now he saw that the boss was not afraid of the people of the Patriotic Army army at all, thinking that these soldiers were regular customers, but it seems that they are not, so to speak, the forces behind the chain of interests of Carter Leaves have some skills!

Wu Qian knew in his heart that Al Hanwen's strength was only so strong, a country's annual financial revenue was only more than 30 million US dollars, and the country was not yet sovereign, where could it be possible to wrestle with the black and gold predators.

In this sad situation, Orr Hanwin can only try to keep the military and political people from the Carter leaves, and as for the civilian trafficking, he is beyond his power.

"Come on, my God, keep you waiting. ”

A shout sounded, and the middle-aged man who had gone to pick up the goods came out of the inner room again, holding a large bundle of neatly arranged Carter leaves.

In terms of quality, it is much better than the leaves eaten by those sitting in the corner, and it must belong to the boutique level.

The middle-aged man happily handed a large bundle of Carter leaves to Wu Qian and Kureta, he was quite discerning, knowing that the group of people who came were all rich lords, perhaps to experience the folk customs, so he took out the best Carter leaves to entertain everyone.

Wu Qian looked at the middle-aged man and said, "The boss who sells this thing, where is the person?" I have something to inform him. ”

At first, the owner of the shop did not get close to Wu Qian's party, and he didn't feel that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, but he would talk face-to-face, and he naturally noticed that the other party's attitude seemed to be unusually cold.

"Sir, aren't you here to buy Carter leaves? If not, let's go out, there are too many people, what can I do if I delay my business, let's go, go, go." ”

The middle-aged man saw that the other party was not here to buy Carter leaves, and with his hands behind his back, he immediately changed his appearance, and said in his heart, no matter how rich you are, you can't get into my pocket, what kind of uncle.

"Bastard, in Solan Country, you are not allowed to speak to Mr. Wu in this tone!"

In the face of the rudeness of the middle-aged man, the soldiers sent by Orr Hanwen immediately quit, if it weren't for the help of Wu Qian and Kuretta, the Patriotic Army would still be huddled on the border and survive, they would naturally defend Wu Qian.

The middle-aged man didn't expect to be taught a lesson by the soldiers of the Patriotic Army, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Are you trying to find fault? If you delay my business, do you know what serious consequences will be? Even Orr Hanwen can't afford it!"

Wu Qian stared at the middle-aged man coldly, according to what he thought in his heart, what if this Ji Ba's business is delayed, what Lao Tzu wants you to close the door and get out.

But after thinking about it, I can't afford to talk to a little minion who cares for the store.

From the behavior of the middle-aged man, Wu Qian could guess that there must be a big man behind the other party, otherwise in other countries, in the face of national soldiers, how could he dare to be so arrogant.

"Hehe......" Wu Qian stretched out his hand to stop the black soldier who was still talking, he smiled, and led people out of the store without saying a word.

The middle-aged man leaned on the windowsill and looked at Wu Qian's group walking into the distance, spit on the ground, and didn't know what he was saying when he was talking about it, and then he took out his mobile phone and dialed a call, and his attitude instantly became extremely respectful.

"Who is in charge of this line of business?"

After walking into the distance, Wu Qian asked Kuretta.

"I only know that there is a connection with the Ethiopian side, you can ask Orr for the specific situation, he must know. ”

Wu Qian's face was gloomy, and he was irritable in his heart, such a thing as openly selling contraband could not happen at all in a slightly more developed country, but in Solan Country, not only did it happen, but a small minion in the other party's shop dared to ignore the top leader of the country where he was located.

This is not just not as simple as the royal law, this is a blatant provocation, this is a challenge to authority.

Kureta said that he was calm, in order to avenge his children, he did not hesitate to send the top bombers of Maozi Country to drop cloudburst bombs and turn several pieces of the earth into Shura Hell, but if he was irritable, he was very calm at the moment.

When he saw Wu Qian's face change color, he roughly guessed what Wu Qian was thinking, and said, "Wu, I guess you have the idea of banning the sale of Carter leaves in Solan Country, right?"

Wu Qian nodded and said: "That's inevitable, although the harm of this kind of thing is not as great as the real degree, but since it will be listed as a contraband by so many countries, it definitely makes sense, to develop the Solan country well, things like Carter leaves can't exist!"

"However, if you want to develop the Solan Kingdom well, you can't deteriorate too much with some forces...... "Kuretta reminded.

"Kureta, the matter is important, what's the use of doing this kind of business?" Wu Qian asked.

Kuretta rubbed his temples and said, "Wu, I admit your words, those who do this kind of business must be scum who are indiscriminate, but it is this kind of person who is more worthy of vigilance." ”

"It's like a poisonous snake hiding under the leaves, if someone passes by and doesn't disturb it, the poisonous snake won't attack, but if you step on a poisonous snake, you will inevitably get a bite, and those people are outlaws who wander on the tip of the knife, and they are very difficult. ”

Wu Qian squinted his eyes slightly and smiled, his smile did not carry a little warmth, and he said to Kureta: "Is our munitions factory built for nothing? Carter leaves are such a thing, I don't want to see even one in Solan Country in the future!"

"Whoever dares to sell this kind of thing to Solan again, send him to hell!"

After speaking, Wu walked towards the hotel where he stayed without looking back, his interest was lost, and he was too lazy to go shopping again.

In the afternoon, Wu Qian summoned Orr Hanwen to the hotel, along with Kuretta, and the three of them discussed the issue of boycotting the sale of Carter leaves.

Preventing foreign powers from selling Carter leaves to Solan is only one thing, and at the same time, it is necessary to establish relevant laws to prevent people in their own countries from eating them, which is the right way.

"Mr. Wu, I personally support your proposal very much, but there are some things that I may not be happy to say when I say them......"

Orr Hanwen said carefully.

After learning about Wu Qian's development plan for Bebela, Orr Hanwen respected the young man more and more, and spoke cautiously, for fear of angering the other party.

Wu Qian raised his hand and said, "We are now discussing this issue [Baishulou fo], and we can speak freely, there is nothing that we can't say." ”

Ole Hanwen said: "Mr. Wu, you want to ban the sale of Carter leaves in Solan Country, and I, including the Patriotic Military Government and the army, are all in favor of it with both hands and feet, but have you ever heard about the "Prohibition" in the United States a hundred years ago?"

Wu Qian had only heard a little about what happened in the United States a hundred years ago, and he heard Al Hanwen mention it, so he deliberately learned about it.

Beginning in January 1920, due to a number of extremely complex factors, the United States enacted Prohibition, which entered a 14-year-long prohibition period, which stipulated that the production, transportation, import, export and sale of all alcoholic beverages were restricted or illegal.

Politics and religious beliefs aside, the original intention of the prohibition was to improve the health of the people.

As a result, things did not go as far as the big people who enacted Prohibition did, and even, in the opposite direction.

There are always ways to get around the ban, and according to statistics, alcohol consumption during Prohibition is much higher than in normal times, which is ironic.

Various manufacturers are also racking their brains, and a company that sells concentrated grape juice promises 30 days for the grape juice to ferment itself into wine.

There is also a "grape brick" that is sold in a raisin and yeast package, and the producer will attach a "good tip" to the packaging: if you accidentally add these things to a gallon of water and place them in an airtight jar, beware that it may turn into wine after twenty days......

Incidents like this are not uncommon, and smuggling and underground trade have become hotbeds for gangsters.

The ban on the formal market resulted in the rise of the black market, where smuggling and underground trading became a lucrative business, and many organized crime groups were built on the profits from these illegal businesses.

And these gangsters rely on their growing power to make the moonshine business bigger and bigger.

In the later stages of Prohibition, it became more and more absurd, and more and more people were going to hospitals for drinking low-quality moonshine, which was intended to reduce the crime rate, but became an incentive for organized crime.

Trying to control corruption, but more officials are colluding with gangs during this time, either actively or passively...... Various phenomena led to the eventual repeal of Prohibition.

After reading the article about Prohibition, Wu Qian put down his tablet and fell into thought, the expression on his face was a little hesitant at first, but the hesitation didn't last long, and he became firm again.

"Orr, the prohibition of alcohol and the prohibition of the trade of Carter leaves, although there are some of the same qualities, but there are essential differences, alcoholic drinks and Carter leaves are two things of nature, and addiction and harm are not at the same level!"

"Alcohol also has a certain amount of damage to the human body, I believe Kureta knows this better than me, the people of Maozi are addicted to alcohol, but I haven't seen a large number of people waste time because of alcohol and sink into illusion, right?"

"In a word, can it be done by establishing relevant laws and regulations to completely ban people from chewing Carter leaves?"

Wu Qian's attitude is very resolute, there is no room for negotiation in this kind of thing, okay, it has to be done, no, it has to be done!

"I agree with Wu's initiative. ”

After a few hours of reflection, Kuretta decided that Wu Qian's proposal was correct, and he continued: "Orr, I know your concerns, but have you ever thought about how terrible it is for more than half of the men in your country to sink into the wonderful world all day long on Carter leaves. ”

"Negative sabotage is only the smallest negative effect, and in the future, these negative people see that the positive people are getting better and better, so good that they can't even imagine chewing Carter leaves, and the crime begins!"

Orr Hanwen pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Kureta, I will hold a meeting tomorrow to revise the relevant laws, I believe that it will have a certain effect, but I dare not guarantee that it will be completely eradicated......"

Even if Orr Hanwen didn't say it, Wu Qian could think that it must be a difficult process to quit Carter leaves, but it is always necessary to make the right attitude to guide, which is the first step.

Ol Hanwen frowned slightly, and said with a helpless expression: "To completely control the phenomenon of people in China chewing Carter leaves, in fact, there is no way, the most fundamental problem lies in one person." ”

"Who?"

Wu Qian asked with burning eyes, the dimly lit room was especially bright, he just wanted to know which person or force was maliciously hollowing out the already impoverished Solan Kingdom.

It is developed here, and it will be his money bag in the future, how can he let others poison him!

"I don't know the man's full name, I only know that many people call him General Mardussan. Orr Hanwen said very solemnly.

It can be seen that this man named Mardusan has put a lot of pressure on him.

At the same time that Orr Hanwen was talking about Mardusan, in a large estate in the northwest of Ethiopia, Mardusan was comfortably lying by the pool in his backyard answering the phone.

It was a black man who was not very thoroughly black, with a European look and features, about forty to fifty years of age, with very broad shoulders and a very strong build.

By the pool, there are more than a dozen civilian security personnel holding weapons, this is only a corner of the entire manor, if you look down from the air, you can find that this manor covering an area of more than 10,000 square meters is densely packed around more than 200 armed forces.
