Chapter 263: The Devil in the World

After getting along all these years, Kangxi knows that Dao Shuyun is absolutely unambiguous in major matters, and he will not be untargeted. Since Shuyun said that "the problem is big", then this problem is not a big problem. Kangxi couldn't help but straighten out his color, stared at Shuyun without stopping, and waited quietly for the following.

Shuyun said with a solemn face: "Ah Furong's scientific name is opium, commonly known as big smoke. It is extracted from the flowers and fruits of the opium poppy. Black or brown in color. Opium was originally used as a medicine, with antitussive, antidiarrheal, pain-relieving and other effects. Later, some people added tobacco or smoked it with a bong. After smoking opium, a feeling of pleasure can be produced. It makes people unable to concentrate and produces dreamy phenomena, resulting in a high degree of psychological and physical dependence. After long-term use, symptoms such as craving for drugs, restlessness, tears, sweating, runny nose, irritability, trembling, chills, shivering, anorexia, constipation, diarrhea, body curls, and cramps may occur. Overdose causes acute poisoning, symptoms include coma, respiratory depression, and severe respiratory depression leading to death.

The most terrible thing is that once opium is smoked, it quickly becomes addictive, and after the addiction, the person is also abolished, and basically no one can completely quit it. Opium is also very harmful to the family, and once there is a drug addict in the family, the family does not become a home. While self-destruction, drug addicts also destroy their own families, causing families to go bankrupt, relatives to be separated, and even families to be ruined. Opium is a complete devil, it can make people crazy, and people who are addicted to smoking can sell anyone and anything, even their own souls, and dare to commit any crime in order to smoke it. Opium is definitely a great threat to social stability. ”

Kangxi listened. The more gloomy the face. It wasn't until after Shuyun finished speaking for a long time. Kangxi sat there without saying a word, his eyes were cold as if he could freeze people.

Shuyun Zhilu said. The previous descriptions, even if they could not have been more detailed. No matter how image it is, it just gives Kangxi an impression, which can be imagined out of thin air. Seeing is believing, all languages, in the absence of real examples, are pale, and they will not touch Kangxi much. And what really made him care was his last two sentences, which really hit Kangxi's weakness. As the emperor, what he cares about most is the Qing Dynasty. Anyone and anything that can threaten the Qing Dynasty. He will not hesitate to kill him. And what Shuyun said threatens social stability, isn't it a disguised threat to the Qing Dynasty?

"I've got it." After a long time, Kangxi said a word, and his voice was cold and cold.

Shuyun doesn't know how much meaning is contained in Kangxi's so-called "knowing the Dao". But Shuyun still nodded solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any confiscated opium in your hands now?" ”

Kangxi nodded.

"Can you give me some, I want you to see the harm with your own eyes." Shuyun knew that since opium could be widely smoked. Even in the 21st century, everyone, no matter how old they are, even a childish child can say a thing or two about its harm. But there are still countless people who have joined the ranks of addicts one after another. The state has also repeatedly banned it. That proves that it has its own living soil. If there is a sale, there is a bought, or the huge chain of interests generated by it makes people dare to take risks and defy the law even when they know that it is a huge harm.

Then opium can spread to the Qing Dynasty at this time. It was also smoked by wealthy merchants in Suzhou, so there must be some people with status involved in the trafficking. Otherwise, it would be impossible for those wealthy businessmen to be recognized by foreigners and some idle people in society alone. How many people are involved for the sake of profit. What kind of identity they are is still unknown. But once Kangxi orders a ban on smoking, it will definitely touch their interests. Obviously, these people don't dare to confront the emperor, but secretly it's hard to say. When the interests are large enough, no matter how supreme the authority is, many people dare to offend. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen Kangxi's belief from the beginning, and the best way is to let him have a more intuitive understanding of opium and let him see its harm with his own eyes.

The two boxes of opium, together with the family property of more than 50 people confiscated in Suzhou this time, were all sealed, escorted to Beijing by the imperial historian Dong Wenji, and personally presented to Kangxi, and now stored in the palace. After Shuyun finished speaking, Kangxi immediately ordered Li Dequan to enter the palace quickly to get opium, and asked the guard Abukai to invite Fuquan over.

Shuyun wants to experiment on animals. But Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Go, bring a few death row prisoners from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment." ”

Shuyun didn't say anything about this, and it was a tacit acquiescence. Whoever let them sin, early death and late death are also deaths, and they can be regarded as a well-deserved death now, and they can be regarded as contributing to society and countless people. It's not that Shuyun is ruthless and doesn't take human life seriously. But that's how it is in this era. When it comes to human rights, that's purely two. Besides, there are many unfair things, and the so-called fairness is also relative. Even in modern society, under the premise of singing harmony, there are still some unfair and unjust phenomena in society? As long as there are interests, there will be selfishness, and then absolute fairness will never be achieved.

With Kangxi's will, the Criminal Department immediately sent five strong male prisoners. They were then held in a remote compound not far from the medical school. Kangxi sent another group of guards to guard it.

If you pay it, you have to give it back, although you are a mortal person, but Shuyun doesn't want to feel uncomfortable in the future, so she still asks Kangxi for them. It is hoped that after the death of these five people, the imperial court will give their families some care and care.

Such a trivial matter, of course Kangxi would not refuse. Shuyun asked the guards to tell the five death row inmates about it, and told them the truth about the purpose of the experiment and the possible consequences. Unexpectedly, the effect of this was surprisingly good, although the prisoners committed crimes, they were not extremely evil people, and they all had a clear conscience. It's a death anyway, and I have a surprising sense of pride in being able to do such a meaningful thing before I die. And they are also very grateful for the court's promise to take care of their families.

Therefore, they were quite cooperative in the subsequent experiments.

This experiment will not be completed overnight. But time waits for no one, since opium has already shown signs of epidemic in Suzhou, how many places and how many people are selling and smoking in all parts of the country? If you delay the smoking ban, more people may go astray. But there's no clear evidence of the danger of this thing, and it now has a name that can confuse people. With empty mouths and white teeth, Kangxi can't just forcibly order a ban on smoking. Even the emperor can be convinced, right?

But what kind of person is Kangxi? He has always been a strong monarch. Those who did not listen to him, those who stood in his way, which one was not killed by him one by one. Just sitting back and waiting for the result is definitely not Kangxi's style. He immediately sent countless secret agents to all parts of the country to make secret visits, trying to completely control the first-hand information in his own hands. Kangxi just wants to make a move, and as soon as he makes a move, he must defeat the enemy with one move.

The opium seized in both boxes was black opium paste in the form of lumps. Since the current refining methods are not comparable with later generations, the purity is average. The five death row inmates were in good health, so they smoked for five days before they became addicted. After that, Shuyun gradually increased the amount of sucking for them.

Kangxi is not good at staying in Xiangxuehai now, and after these people become addicted, he will return to the palace. Leave Fuquan here to observe. Shuyun will also record the daily reactions of these five people in detail for Kangxi to read at any time, and these records will also be sealed as evidence.

Because Shuyun deliberately increased the amount of intake for these five people. Soon, the bad symptoms that Shuyun said earlier were all manifested one by one. Fu Quan observes these people up close every day, and he feels a little worse. But Kangxi has been around for a month, and he feels very strongly about the changes that have occurred in these people.

The big man, who was still strong a month ago, looked back after a month, and he had lost a whole circle, and his eye sockets were deep-set, and his face was dark and blue, like a tuberculosis ghost. The obscene appearance is unbearable to witness. This had a strong impact on Kangxi's heart.

Three months later, when Kangxi came back, these people were basically nesting on the kang all day, squinting their eyes, and their hands were not away from the smoking gun. Man is not like man, and ghost is not like a ghost. Not to mention the emperor, it's just that the king of heaven is here, and even the sky has fallen. As long as they are smoking opium, they will never move.

The reaction of these people, not to mention Kangxi, who only comes once a month, is Fuquan, a tough guy who comes into contact with them all day long, and he also feels a chill at this time.

Shuyun saw that the heat was almost over, so she took advantage of Kangxi's presence. The opium of the five men was stopped.

The consequences can be imagined. It didn't take long for these people to cry and howl wolves, knelt on the ground one by one, kowtowed, and shouted: "Give it to me, hurry up and smoke me, please, kill me." At this time, no matter how humble and lowly the words were, they naturally said them in their mouths. When they couldn't stand it anymore, they banged their heads against the wall. When it is more severe, it will foam at the mouth and roll on the ground with convulsions. That crazy look makes people can't help but feel numb on the scalp for a while.

Most of the people who can commit crimes are those who dare to think and dare to do things, and those who are cowardly and incompetent, if you want them to commit crimes, they don't have the courage and courage to do so. But such a ruthless person can only bow down in front of opium. Then ordinary people can imagine it.

Shuyun saw Kangxi's gloomy face, and once she stood out of the window at every turn, she looked at some strange scenes inside. After thinking about it and thinking about it, I decided to take the risk and add another fire.
