Thinking of legislation, Zhu Yunwen sent someone to summon Yang Shiqi and Zhang Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

The former went and returned, and he still wondered in his heart, what kind of moth did the emperor have, his ass was not hot in the Wenhua Palace, but the surrounding Hanlin scholars and politicians looked at Yang Shiqi with envy.

What is Jane in the heart of the emperor, and what is the humerus minister?

If you look at Yang Shiqi, you will know it all, the emperor really can't leave Yang Ge for a moment.

When the two of them came to the Hall of Prudence, they subconsciously took out the small book after hurriedly saluting.

Ordinary emperors are so urgent, there must be something important to explain.

"I want to legislate on the poppy, or what kind of shit hibiscus flower, to improve all aspects of its cultivation and processing, and provide legal protection."

Straight to the point, Zhu Yunwen explained his understanding of this drug to the two, after all, he is not a professional public security officer, and he doesn't know much about this so-called drug, so it is inevitable that the introduction will be exaggerated a lot, and the two of them will be bluffed.

Is this hibiscus flower really as scary as the emperor said?

It's just a traditional Chinese medicine, and if you can use it, you have to kill it, so you can mobilize the people.

"The minister knows something about this hibiscus flower, although this thing can be used for medicine, but as His Majesty said, this thing can make people addicted, bad people's appetite, and long-term use is like a murderous sword.

Rough use, there is still such a harm, if the processing and improvement, the harm is several times greater, and it is not surprising that human life is destroyed. ”

Yang Shiqi first affirmed Zhu Yunwen's hard work, and then expressed some of his opinions.

"The act of cultivating opium poppy without permission by the people should be severely punished, and the act of selling opium poppy for profit should also be punished for the same crime, but it is only for purchase and use, and the same crime should be punished, is it a harsh punishment?"

The emperor has always advocated that the punishment is comparable, but buying and taking it is also a killing, which inevitably makes people feel a little harsh.

"There is a saying, I don't know if Yang Ge has heard it."

Of course, Zhu Yunwen knew that this kind of practice was too harsh and rude, so he patiently explained: "There is no killing without buying and selling, and there is no buying and selling without the market."

If no one buys it, will anyone sell it? ”

Buying drugs not only costs money, but also kills people when they are reported, except for those who are already addicted to drugs, do some wealthy businessmen who have tasted poppies for the first time, or those who are curious about this thing, dare to reach out and touch them?

If no one buys it, who will do this murderous thing to sell, and who will sell it to?

"Cracking down on the buyer's market fundamentally breaks the greed of sellers, and they naturally dare not reach out and touch it."

Explaining this, Yang Shiqi nodded again and again, but he still felt that Zhu Yunwen had overreacted a little in his heart.

Even if this thing is poisonous, but because of the price, where do ordinary people consume it, those who can rely on this poppy to make food and drink wine all day long are rich businessmen, and they are not afraid of death to buy it, and the imperial court can also open source income.

Blindly poppy, where can it reach such a height as bringing disaster to the country and the people?

Yang Shiqi did not express his opposing opinions, and Zhang Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, naturally only agreed, and immediately arranged for the supplement of the legislation.

In the early stage, the main areas of propaganda were Sichuan and Yunnan, two large planting provinces, and then to Fujian and Zhejiang.

At the foot of Nanzhili, it was handed over to Ying Tianfu for publicity, and every township must be publicized that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there must be no addicts who take this substance. ”

Both of them bowed down to respond, and Zhang Chun opened his mouth to say goodbye, leaving Yang Shiqi hesitant for a moment, and did not move, Zhu Yunwen knew that the former had something to say.

"What do you think?"

Yang Shiqi organized his voice and said: "Such a thing is really as His Majesty said, it can make people addicted to life is worse than death." The ministers and ministers saw an eye-popping huge benefit from this. ”

Zhu Yunwen said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by selling this thing to the Southeast Overseas Countries and other countries and plundering their wealth?" ”

"Exactly."

Yang Shiqi bowed down and said: "Since this thing can control people's minds, then relying on this thing alone, I can easily win over and recruit countless barbarian nobles, so as to control their kingdom briefly."

Wouldn't it be beautiful to sell opium poppies to wealthy merchants from all over the world, raise prices, plunder wealth, and enrich the treasury of our Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Yunwen understood what Yang Shiqi meant, and the latter wanted to start the Opium War in the fifteenth century.

Only this time, the Central Plains has changed from a victim country to a disaster-exporting country.

If drugs are used well, they can indeed expand their territory, and it is as easy as plundering wealth and resources.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "This move is inappropriate." ”

Seeing the emperor's refusal, Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment.

Is the emperor compassionate?

"It's not that I'm good-hearted, but that the benefits of this thing are huge, and it's very easy to deceive people's minds, so that the phenomenon of reverse dumping occurs."

The words in Capital were taken out by Zhu Yunwen: "Once the benefits exceed three times, then businessmen dare to trample on all the laws in the world, and the benefits of this poppy can reach more than ten times. ”

During the Opium War, we could only see that our people smoked opium in large quantities, and there were tobacco pipes and smokers everywhere in the shape of withered smokers.

This is profit-driven reverse dumping.

This group of merchants has tasted a disorienting reward from the sale of opium, and then all the places in the world with wealth and people will become dumping ground in their eyes, whether it is someone else's country or their own country!

"If the profits are more than three times, the merchant will dare to trample on all the laws of the world."

Yang Shiqi recited this sentence, and his heart was greatly touched.

Businessmen pursue profits, have no moral bottom line, and never end under the insatiable desire.

When they make a lot of money abroad through opium poppies, they will remember that behind them, there is a huge market with a population of up to sixty or seventy million!

"Although they don't dare to sell openly, and the people don't dare to buy openly, they still have a way."

Zhu Yunwen remembered some vivid examples in later generations, so he took them out one by one and said: "They can pour the highly addictive poppy liquid into the wine and sell it, and the addicted people dare not report it, because they will kill their heads like taking poison, so they are likely to go all the way to the dark, secretly continue to take this substance, and take out their life savings in exchange for poppies."

This is a loophole in the legislation, and this loophole is obvious, and it will definitely be discovered by those shrewd businessmen, so I must control it from the source.

It is forbidden to cultivate and sell, and it will not be peddled to foreign countries in Fanbang, so that they will not taste the sweetness of this thing, and suppress the greed in their hearts. ”

As long as the poppy still exists for a day, even if Zhu Yunwen even abolishes the medical field of the Tai Hospital, there will definitely be people in Daming who will plant it.

This is the death of man for money.

Zhu Yunwen knew that he could not stop it, and the only thing he could do was to do his best to curb the spread of drugs to the greatest extent, and to make all attempts to make and sell drugs and buy and take them secretly, so as to eliminate the risk of rapid flooding.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted and submissive."

Yang Shiqi pondered carefully for a moment, nodded and said: "It's the ministers who just thought about it simply, in Your Majesty's words, businessmen pursue profits, as long as the benefits are rich, any laws and morals can be left behind." ”

"I'm just going to take precautions."

Zhu Yunwen said: "The harm of the opium poppy is worse than the plague, so we must strangle it before it spreads on a large scale, and for this reason, we do not hesitate to spend a lot of energy and investment." Otherwise, when our land is full of these dazzling petals in the future, I and the cabinet will become sinners for thousands of years. ”

Every effort should be made to curb the spread of opium poppy.

At the same time, Bao Fanbang is in Bao Daming.
