After a half-year absence, returning to Nanjing again, Zhu Yunwen even had a strange feeling in a trance.

In recent years, Nanjing's changes are getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting faster and faster, the business and trade are prosperous, the transportation is convenient, many days the strange things from the south and the north of the sea are pouring into Nanjing, and since the advent of cement, the roads inside and outside the city of Nanjing have also begun to be renovated, the autumn rain falls on the ground, and there is no longer a frowning mud point of mud.

In Nanjing City at this time, Zhu Yunwen could even see a large number of non-ethnic and foreign goods that he knew were not Han at a glance.

The tribes of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the northern grasslands, all of whom are a little wealthy, who have not sharpened their heads and want to run to this Nanjing city, and even more, they are still worried about settling down, marrying a Ming wife, spending money to give themselves an identity of the Ming Dynasty, if they can apply for a household registration with a Han surname for the child they born, they can really drink a big wine for three days and three nights to celebrate.

It's a pity that the girls of the Ming Dynasty look down on these imported products, even if these non-Han wealthy businessmen take out ten times or a hundred times the bride price of Nanzhili at the moment, they can't hire a daughter-in-law, and the girls of the Ming Dynasty look down on these barbarians in their hearts.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, he is not so poor that he sells his sons and daughters, and even if he does, he is not willing to sell these things, lest he be known and scolded so much that he can't raise his head.

"I look at the history books, say that the Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, the merchants of all countries, the prosperity of the song day and night, and now the Jinling of the Ming Dynasty is not much inferior."

Turning back to the palace, the palace is still spotlessly cleaned, and the Beijing bricks reflect the dazzling golden brilliance, Zhu Yunwen sincerely praised Yang Shiqi: "The secretary and the cabinet are indispensable." ”

The people of the country are proud, and the prosperous era is salty.

Even if the current Daming does not have the slightest modern convenience, there is no kind of black technology that people can enjoy with peace of mind.

"There is a great world today, relying on the saint to come to the court, blessed by grace, all things can thrive, ministers and other small talents, fortunately Sasuke does not dare to be greedy."

The four members of the cabinet left their seats and bowed down in unison, giving a modest sycophant.

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and chuckled, and raised his hand: "Once I hear a lot of nice words, I don't know how many catties and taels I have, which is not a good thing." ”

The hall was suddenly filled with laughter from the monarchs and ministers.

"Half a year away from Beijing, I'm afraid there are a lot of big and small things."

Zhu Yunwen inquired about the cabinet and the affairs of the capital as usual, and unexpectedly, there were not too many thorny and difficult issues to deal with.

There are no big things, and no small things can reach him.

For the emperor, it is a major matter that involves the establishment or destruction of the national foundation, the foundation, the ideological form, the rule of law and order, and territorial integrity.

For example, if there is a disaster or trouble in several counties, or if there is a diplomatic conflict in the city of Nanjing, it is not a big deal.

In the current Ming Dynasty, diplomatic matters can only be called trivial, because Yang Shiqi, the head of the cabinet, is a standard hawk, and in his eyes, foreign countries have come to the Ming Dynasty, and any moth that comes out will be dealt with in accordance with the punishment of the Ming Law, and there will be no disputes.

The four words of the state of etiquette have long been thrown into the garbage heap by Zhu Yunwen and Yang Shiqi in the past few years.

The master who works up and down, and teaches the master of the idea of repaying grievances and teaching all nations with virtue, can't get into the public service team of the Ming Dynasty.

After the cabinet left, Zhu Yunwen summoned Zhu Zhi and Xu Huizu again and asked them about some things about the Zongren Mansion and the Five Military Mansions.

"The clan relatives are the same as before, and the changes are not too big."

Zhu Zhi, who is in his thirties in a blink of an eye, is much more stable than when Zhu Yunwen first ascended the throne, as the right Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, when Zhu Di was busy with the General Staff and had no time to take care of it, Zhu Zhi was in charge of it all with one hand, and there was less time to miss the land of fireworks, and his body and bones finally improved.

As the number one butler of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Zhi's temperament is quite a bit of a modern big capitalist, confident and quite powerful, and he is not impatient when he speaks: "Those who should be in business are all in business, and several sons of the family who have reached the age have also participated in the Nanzhili Provincial Examination last year, and now they are all doing errands in various prefectures in Nanzhili." ”

"With Gao Chi, the official of the ministry, our clan relatives can't suffer any losses."

Zhu Yunwen laughed, he didn't need to ask him in his heart that this group of young people from the clan who were born as errand officials would make the bureaucrats in the court feel awkward, and at the same time, it would also make the chief officials of the local government scratch their heads.

When I think about it, when these chief officials of the first government opened their mouths to be "Yang Party", "Zhejiang Party", and "Hanlin Party", the children of this group of clan relatives could say a word back, "We are not any party, and the current emperor is my brother." ”

Fight backstage, who doesn't have a backer.

"What about the Five Military Mansions?"

Zhu Yunwen turned his head to look at Xu Huizu: "Have the bandits in the provinces been cleared?" Those Jiangyang thieves, have you caught all the things that robbed the house? ”

The normalization of sweeping away gangsters and eliminating evil, Zhu Yunwen didn't say anything about cracking down, as long as there is, then eliminate all evil.

"The big fish are basically carrying out His Majesty's policy of labor reform in major mines or construction sites where roads and canals are built."

Xu Huizu arched his hand and smiled: "The rest are just some green-skinned gangsters, and the local county government can settle it." ”

Subsequently, Xu Huizu reported on the 'road administration income' of the local health center in the past two years, according to Zhu Yunwen's meaning, that is, in the important passages between the provinces, a guard station is set up every 300 miles or so, and a certain toll is charged.

There are no country roads and roads between prefectures and counties.

Although there is no distinction between national highways and provincial highways in the Ming Dynasty, there are also important traffic arteries running through the north and south and east and west, and there will be toll stations only on these particularly important thoroughfares.

"The annual revenue is about 100,000 taels."

This figure is not too high, compared to the income of the transshipment of Caoyun, it is far behind.

"It's enough to improve the food for the soldiers of the local guard station, and pay the pension money for the death of the gang and the evil."

Zhu Yunwen didn't look down on these 100,000 taels at all, and was very generous to let the Fifth Military Government freely dispose of it: "The General Staff Department has been cutting out veterans who have reached the line every year, and these veterans who have passed the line are generally bachelors, and they are assigned to the military guard station in their hometown according to their household registration, and they must play the role of these veterans, they have experience, more combat effectiveness, and are loyal."

You can use them to train the children of military households in the local guard station, and serve as the reserve of our Ming army, and at the same time, the household department has a yamen of the Qing Officials Division in the provinces, so that this group of veterans can go by the way to learn the work of measuring the land and writing and filling in the book, and there is nothing to do in the next county with these officials of the Qing Officials Division. ”

Relying on veterans to carry out imperial power to the countryside and borrowing the hands of veterans to seize power in the countryside is the errand that Zhu Yunwen is preparing to find for the Fifth Military Government.

The duties of the Five Military Offices will be clearly divided into two layers, the upper level is the Wuxun Club, and if you have nothing to do, you will study the art of war in Nanjing, and when you fight, you will select a famous general from the Five Military Offices to take command.

According to Zhu Yunwen's plan, in the future, local armed security forces similar to the armed police will be split up to crack down on large-scale bandits in counties and townships that are unable to quell them, and to crack down on such tasks as making trouble among the masses and spreading cults.

Cultivate the reserves of the main front-line troops, and cooperate with the military department to replenish the front-line troops with fresh blood at any time.

Daming does not have a reserve system, there is no two-year compulsory military system, entering the front-line army of Daming is basically to stay until about thirty-five years old, or an ordinary soldier can retire for life, go to the military household in the place of household registration to find an errand, receive a military property, but will not be hungry.

It cultivated tax inspectors who served as soldiers, counted the acres of land, registered the population, cracked down on the privileges of the landlords and powerful to sit on the ground in the countryside, and ensured that the policies of the imperial power and the imperial court could be implemented at the grassroots level.

"The front-line troops carry out a high degree of imperial power worship ideological baptism, and then let this group of soldiers retire to the local supervision, and centralize power with military power, why do I always feel that my Ming Dynasty is a bit on par with the red three fat comrades?"

After sending the two away, Zhu Yunwen chattered and laughed himself.

When will his portrait replace the plaque hanging high in the mirror of the palace, and the deification movement of the monarchy will be completely perfect.

Oh yes, I almost forgot that the book proposed by Xu Buji is to compile a collection of quotations, and along with the Jianwen Canon, it will be included in the compulsory question bank of the provincial examination in the future.

I can't even learn the ideology and spirit of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, and I still want to be an official? Dream on.

"The more I think about it, the happier I get."

Stretching his waist, Zhu Yunwen let out a long breath, and saw a little eunuch walking on the side, holding a brocade plate and whispering in Shuangxi's ear.

"What's that?"

There was a porcelain vase and a letter on the brocade plate, Zhu Yunwen's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw the line on the envelope, 'His Majesty Fu Cheng Jianwen Taiqi', and the seal was Yunnan Dusi.

"When will Ma Dajun's iron-headed baby still write letters, is he literate?"

Standing up and walking over, the little eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground and held the brocade plate high above his head, so that Zhu Yunwen could reach out and take it.

Taking it apart and looking at it, Zhu Yunwen became happy.

"Such beautiful handwriting looks like a military Chinese book ghostwriter, look at what is written."

Yo, he's a reckless man and will pat himself on the back, who did he learn from this treasure offering job, this bastard is not stingy in the future, is he still planning to learn to send beautiful women, hibiscus powder, this name is for women as soon as I hear it. ”

Laughing and laughing, and then seeing the content of the efficacy introduction, Zhu Yunwen's face changed, first serious, and then angry.

"This thing is made of opium poppy, boil its stem liquid to dry and grind, 100 poppies only get less than three taels, expensive super gold, it is a strange thing in the world, non-toxic and harmless, after smoking, it is like ascending to the Qiong Tower of the Heavenly Palace, making people physically and mentally happy, and the fatigue is swept away."

There are a lot of balabala, which is nothing more than praising how powerful the effect of this hibiscus powder is.

Zhu Yunwen picked up the porcelain bottle with a cold face, pulled out the cork and poured it on the tray, and it was a pile of white powder.

Although the color of these powders was not as bright as the thing he remembered when he participated in the public security anti-drug exhibition, and even some black and brown, Zhu Yunwen still recognized it at a glance.

Isn't this the kind of thing that doesn't stab you and makes people run out of it?

Offering treasure? It's a poison offering!

A heavy general in the southwest, offering drugs to him, the emperor, what does Ma Dajun want to do?

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!"

Zhu Yun's angry scolding made the palace eunuchs waiting in the hall so frightened that they fell to the ground, and only Shuangxi beside him was puzzled: "Your Majesty, this horse army slave and maid have also had a few faces, and their personalities are rough and honest, unlike those who have bad intentions and wolf ambitions." ”

Although I don't know what is written in the letter, but looking at Zhu Yunwen's expression and the two sentences of 'reversed', Double Happiness is still considered to be Ma Dajun's separatism in the southwest, playing the trick of leading the state pastor and the festival envoy.

Shuangxi's persuasion Zhu Yunwen could still listen, and his words also made Zhu Yunwen calm down a little.

Yes, where did the ancients know what drugs are?

If you don't want to think about the good and the bad first, Zhu Yunwen still can't help but be suspicious.

Ma Dajun has been in the southwest for a long time, and the boundaries of Siam and Luchuan are not the Golden Triangle of later generations? If you can't keep this Ma Dajun knowing the poison of this thing, joining Ma Dajun knows the poison of this thing, but he still dedicates it to Zhu Yunwen, what does he want to do?

After all, Ma Dajun didn't know that Zhu Yunwen was a traveler.

For any emperor, it is impossible to say that he will follow the path of this thing, and from then on he will not be a human being, a ghost or a ghost.

At that time, Ma Dajun will have drugs in his hands, which is not another kind of coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and controlling the emperor is controlling the dynasty.

Rebels and thieves, this is the case.

As long as people think about something in the bad way, it will be out of control, and to be an emperor, without suspicion, it is not good to be an emperor, and the emperor can not believe in anyone except himself.

"This army of horses seems to be reckless, but in fact it is also a traitorous and loyal, and his simplicity is just a trick he uses to deceive me."

Zhu Yun's angry three corpse gods jumped violently, this horse army can't stay!

"Now that the southwest is at war, the generals and the country are unknown, so let's wait for him to finish this battle."

Closing the porcelain vase, Zhu Yunwen snorted coldly: "If you win, I will only punish him alone, and if you lose, you will destroy the three clans." ”

Trying to trick him, the emperor, into taking drugs, is equivalent to killing the king and killing his father, which is more ruthless than rebellion.

"Sure enough, I don't know my heart if I know people."

Zhu Yunwen, who felt greatly injured, lay on the royal couch and sighed again and again.

At present, in addition to the second generation of the Five Military Mansions, Ma Dajun is the grassroots flag-bearer he intends to focus on cultivating, so he can rise to the top in just a few years, all the way to the position of the sole power today.

There is no bloody routine of polishing Puyu and tempering temperament, he Zhu Yunwen is willing to promote capable and courageous young people, but he never thought that this horse army was promoted too quickly, and he was also lost in power, and began to breed greater ambitions.

"It's all a bunch of bastards!"

scolded hatefully, Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and began to play with the porcelain bottle in his hand.

In these years, even heroin is available?

Although the original craftsmanship level is made of shoddy goods, and the purity is not even worthy of lifting shoes for future generations, how could the ancients find this thing?

"Summoning the Imperial Doctor."

Zhu Yunwen must figure out this matter, otherwise he muttered in his heart.

In China's modern history, opium has left indelible wounds on the country and the nation.

The four words of the sick man in East Asia are an eternal pain in the heart of every Chinese.

Compared with the prohibition of drugs, cracking down on criminal syndicates and eliminating evil is not a big deal.

The emperor was in a bad mood, and several eunuchs hurriedly went to invite the imperial doctor, and invited several people who were specially responsible for Zhu Yunwen, the first seat of the emperor's daily pulse observation.

"Sit down."

Zhu Yunwen was lying on the royal couch, his eyes were lowered, he was angry just now, and now his spirit is a little sluggish.

"Give me a good introduction to the poppy."

Why did the emperor suddenly remember to learn about the poppy?

Several old ladies looked at each other, and then they each started to popularize science.

"There's a lot of nonsense, I don't want to know what the medicine does for this thing, what I want to know is what the harm is to it."

"Back to Your Majesty, this hibiscus flower will make people suffer from addiction and loss of appetite."

A imperial physician said: "Zhu Zhenheng, a famous doctor in the early Yuan Dynasty, had studied this thing, and it was noted in the addendum to "Materia Medica": Today's people are tired and coughing, and this poppy husk can be stopped. Those who are guilty of dampness and heat, dysentery, and two stool blockages can also be stopped with this substance. Although this thing has a very good effect on curing diseases, it kills people like a sword, and it is advisable to abstain from it. ”

Zhu Yunwen suddenly turned over and sat up, staring at the imperial doctor with blazing eyes.

"There are medical books, do you mean to say that this thing has been circulating in my Central Plains for a long time?"

Another imperial physician said: "Thousands of years ago, this thing has been passed down to the world, it is a medicinal material, it has miraculous effects in curing diseases, and it can calm and relieve pain, and military doctors often use it to treat the wounded." ”

Hemp boiling, hemp boiling!

Zhu Yunwen suddenly remembered that the legend of Hua Tuo's hemp boiling, and the record on the prescription was that the main medicine was a mandala flower, but later there were different opinions, and it was said that the authenticity of this prescription was not remembered by Hua Tuo.

When Hua Tuo did surgery back then, no one knew what he used.

"This thing, we have a lot of cultivation in the original plain?"

"Yes."

Taiyi said: "Tai Hospital has a special acre of land for cultivating this hibiscus flower, because this medicine has a wide range of effects, and the effect of pain relief and sedative has not yet found a better substitute for medicinal materials, so it has been used to this day."

The biggest harm of this substance is that it is easy to make people addicted, and a large amount of use will lead to loss of appetite and unhappiness during sexual intercourse. ”

It's okay if it's just a loss of appetite and a lack of sex.

Zhu Yunwen continued to ask, "How to use?" ”

"In the Yuan Dynasty, many coastal wealthy merchants purchased it for cooking Titian, or dried it for instant eating."

"There are also incense made from this material, which is burned in the ashram, which can make the mind calm, tired and happy."

It is always said that in modern warfare, John Niu opened China's door with opium, and now it seems that it is a throw-off.

This opium has been played out in Asia for a long time!

"Can you smoke powder?"

Several imperial doctors shook their heads: "Back to Your Majesty, where is there still an effect of grinding into powder, I only heard that the nobles of the palace of the Yuan Dynasty liked this thing very much, just waiting for it to mature, when the flower halo is light red and pink, prick its stem, you can take it and eat it, and the taste is very sweet."

However, the drinker will soon have abdominal pain such as strangling, difficult to hold on, not continue to drink this thing can not be solved, fasting is death, so people also call this hibiscus flower as the broken intestine grass. ”

"Drying the stem sap and grinding it into powder is even more effective."

Zhu Yunwen put the porcelain vase in his hand on the imperial case, and said, "Look, this is the finished product." ”

Several imperial doctors were immediately shocked, and they all knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty must not eat this thing, this thing has no solution, and it is the sharpest murderous sword in the world." ”

Shuangxi also understood this time, and gritted his teeth: "What a rebel thief, the emperor, the slave and maid will send someone to give him a death and punish him." ”

"This thing was given to him by a Siamese guy named Chaiwang."

Zhu Yunwen lay back on the couch again: "Where did the cultivation in our country come from?" Siamese that piece? ”

"According to the ancient books of Chenguan, this thing came from heaven."

Tianfang, that is Arabia, isn't it the Golden Crescent region of the future?

Zhu Yunwen raised his eyebrows, so to speak, the opium in the Golden Triangle may have been transmitted from my country.

And then, when John Bull started the East India Company, he brought it to the Americas and Europe?

"In our Daming territory, where is the most of these things?"

"Nanzhili, Yunnan and Sichuan."

The imperial doctor replied honestly: "Among them, the one planted at the foot of Nanzhili is used by our Tai Hospital to be used at any time, and the efficacy is slightly worse than that of Sichuan and Yunnan, and there are some in Hebei, which were used by the Yuan Dynasty back then, and the effect is the worst, so it was abandoned and cultivated." ”

One side of the water and soil supports the other side, and it seems that the same is true of drugs.

Zhu Yunwen scratched his head, only feeling that there were drug dens everywhere in the country right now.

"The decree is that all of Yunnan and Sichuan will be burned, and the poppy will be changed into fields, and if it cannot be changed, it will not be allowed to be planted.

Yunnan and Sichuan are too far away from Nanjing, the center is difficult to control, and the most fatal thing is the current Ming Dynasty, there are already people who know how to use this thing.

What is planted at the foot of Nanzhili is for medical treatment, and it is difficult to say whether it is grown in Sichuan and Yunnan for medical treatment or sold to wealthy merchants along the coast.

"By the way, the poppy fields at the foot of our Nanzhili, are they all being recycled by the Tai Hospital?"

Inside the hall, there was a sudden silence.

Zhu Yunwen opened his eyes suddenly, and he had already understood from this short cold scene.

Said coldly: "Say, how much was sold?" ”

Before a few imperial doctors could reply, Shuangxi had already knelt down: "The slave is guilty, the poppy fields in Nanzhili have always been collected by the imperial front division over the years, and the imperial hospital has not used up, and all of them have been sold to merchants in Nanjing, some of them use it themselves, and some of them sell it." ”

Good guys, the biggest drug dealer in the country turned out to be the imperial court!

Zhu Yun's head ached, and he pointed at Shuangxi with his finger: "The Tai Hospital knows the harm of this thing, don't you know it?" Why sell! ”

"Ask the emperor to condemn him."

Hitting the ground headlong, Shuangxi replied honestly: "Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, this thing has been sought after by wealthy merchants for more than a hundred years, and the scale of poppy fields is also increasing.

The Imperial Division has been treated like this since the beginning of the Hongwu Dynasty, and since the slave took over the Imperial Division, he did not know the poison of this thing, so he did not make any changes, and the slave and maid should die. ”

In the final analysis, there is still a lack of awareness, and the drugs produced by the process in these years are far less vigorous than those of later generations, so where did the ancients know the importance of drug control.

The most important thing is profit.

The income of the Imperial Front Division goes directly to the internal money, and whether the emperor has money in his pocket or not, this thing also has merit in it.

"Fuck!"

Zhu Yunwen scolded hatefully, the ban on drugs was banned to the end, and it was banned on his head, which is really disgusting.

"Decree, the poppy field at the foot of Nanzhili is forbidden to be planted, and the imperial property is surveyed by the Taitai Hospital, and it can be left for the medical part, and the rest will be recultivated, and the imperial front division shall not recycle the opium poppy from today onwards, and it will be collected exclusively by the Tai Hospital.

In Nanjing, there are merchants who want to buy opium poppies, or sell seeds, and those who grow them privately, they are all beheaded! Non-medical patients, common people and wealthy businessmen who eat opium poppies shall be punished for the same crime. ”

Kill those who make drugs, kill those who sell drugs, and kill those who use drugs!

In troubled times, on the major issue of drug control, which is related to the country and the nation, Zhu Yunwen must cut off the people's idea of drug abuse from the beginning.

Only in this way can we suppress the people's curiosity about this thing to the greatest extent.

It is necessary to legislate, and at the same time as legislation, it is also necessary to carry out anti-narcotics propaganda similar to that of later generations, comprehensively popularize anti-narcotics education, and let the people of the world know the harmfulness of narcotics.

Shuangxi responded, then looked at Zhu Yunwen and asked in a low voice, "Then what should I do with the southwest?" ”

"Let him finish the battle first, and then I will go back and settle accounts with him!"

(The group is gone, and I don't know what the brothers are talking about in the group, so the new group is not engaged for the time being.) ）
