Emperor Chongzhen was really not at ease, and finally decided to send Xu Xianchun to find out what was going on.

The world is big enough to accommodate billions of people, and the world is small enough to accommodate two travelers.

At the very least, it is impossible for Emperor Chongzhen to accept the existence of a second traverser, although he usually shouts that he wants a few engineering dogs to cross over or something, it is just a slogan.

If there is really a second traverser in this world, don't think about it, immediately, immediately, it is normal to mobilize the Jinyi Guards and the army to kill people in the past.

In the eyes of the ancients, these maneuvers were deviant, but in the eyes of the traversers, they were very normal, and even gave birth to the idea that they could replace them.

And if a traverser is not killed in the first place, the destructive power caused by it after it is allowed to develop is something that no one wants to see.

As for why you want to mobilize Jinyi Guard and the army to encircle and suppress a traverser?

Isn't this normal operation? Or do you have to send a few people over, let people run away, and then keep repeating this process, until the other party develops and the army besieges the city and forces itself to go up the coal mountain?

Emperor Chongzhen had little interest in the old crooked neck tree on the coal mountain, and was wondering if he would cut it down after Chongzhen's seventeenth year......

After giving instructions to Xu Xianchun, Emperor Chongzhen asked, "Have you written down what I just said?" ”

Xu Xianchun bowed and said: "Yes, first check all the previous deeds of this person, if this kind of cigarette is suddenly made, then the nearby guard will be dispatched to kill it together with the Jinyi guard."

If there is any evidence that this person has inadvertently configured out the cigarette, I will ask him two sentences, namely, the odd and even unchanged, and the sparse pedestrians on the Autumn Name Mountain, and there are often high and low riders.

If this person answers the symbol to look at the quadrant or the lane is still there now, and the old driver is not seen, he will also send an army to besiege and kill. ”

Xu Xianchun is good at this point, he has always just listened to Emperor Chongzhen's instructions to do things, and never asked why-only in this way can people who are loyal and don't talk much can live for a long time!

After Emperor Chongzhen snorted, he continued: "Yes, how to judge whether this person's behavior is normal, I believe that you Jinyiwei have your own methods, so I won't be verbose." In short, you personally led someone to do this matter, and there was no mistake, did you write it down? ”

Xu Xianchun bowed and said, "The minister has written it down!" ”

After Xu Xianchun retreated, Emperor Chongzhen was relieved.

Fortunately, those jokers in later generations are amazing, and there are these two codes that can be used to test, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble.

If the guy who made the cigarette is not a traverser, it is better to say, if it is a traverser, he will definitely know these two codes, even if he is a scumbag who does not know the odd and even, it is estimated that he also knows the stalk of Qiu Mingshan, even if he wants to pretend to be stupid and fool the past, it is estimated that he will not be able to hide Xu Xianchun's old fritters.

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Chongzhen directly sent Xu Xianchun a big killing weapon of this level at the beginning, and also gave him a talisman to mobilize the troops of Wuxi and the surrounding guards.

Under the double insurance, there must be nothing wrong, right?

Emperor Chongzhen was thinking nonsense in the summer palace, but Xu Xianchun went straight to Wuxi with a large number of horses, and soon found the scholar who figured out the cigarette.

A scholar who likes to read and like to study since he was a child, because there are relatives at home who smoke, so he is no stranger to tobacco, and then occasionally got the tobacco brought to the Ming Dynasty by Western barbarians from the maritime merchants, and after carefully pondering for a while, he got out the cigarettes.

Everything is normal, it's just an ordinary reader who has taken shit luck, and occasionally figured out the cigarette thing, and there is nothing abnormal about it.

Even in the face of the imitation of other wealthy businessmen, this scholar did not say anything, nor did he run to sue the officials to make trouble, it was simply ordinary and ordinary.

Xu Xianchun didn't dare to take it lightly, and took the opportunity to approach the scholar and asked those two questions, but the scholar couldn't answer Xu Xianchun's question at all, but was confused by Xu Xianchun's question.

However, Xu Xianchun still did not give up, and even deliberately found Dongchang to help investigate, hoping to find out that something was wrong.

Xu Xianchun was destined to do useless work - even if it was a rare joint investigation between Jinyiwei and Dongchang, he still didn't find anything wrong.

The stall head of the East Factory obviously had no status in front of Xu Xianchun, so he could only stand in the main hall with Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and after reporting all the news from the investigation, he quietly waited for Xu Xianchun's orders.

It wasn't until his legs were about to go numb that Xu Xianchun suddenly spoke: "All the files about that scholar will be handed over to Jinyiwei to take over and destroy, and all the follow-up things will be handled by Jinyiwei. ”

The stall head of the East Factory bowed down and asked, "Dare to ask what else the lord commands?" ”

Xu Xianchun picked up the teacup and said, "It's okay, you can go back." ”

After the stall head of the East Factory bowed down and quickly got out of the Jinyi Guard's yamen, Xu Xianchun put down the teacup he had just picked up, and ordered with a gloomy face: "Guan Bu, this commander doesn't want that scholar to see the sun tomorrow again."

Remember, you personally bring someone to do it, don't leave anything behind, everything is just a normal accident. ”

Things have progressed to this point, and it has obviously exceeded Emperor Chongzhen's initial instructions - if the scholar has a problem, send the scholar on the road, and if the scholar is okay, leave him alone.

Xu Xianchun didn't know why Emperor Chongzhen let him personally come to investigate such a scholar, and he didn't know why Emperor Chongzhen had a trace of jealousy when talking about a scholar?

That's right, it's jealousy, Xu Xianchun believes that his judgment will not be wrong.

When facing the siege of Jiannu, Emperor Chongzhen did not have the slightest fear, led an expedition to the desert, an expedition to the Mughals, and faced one by one male lords, Emperor Chongzhen did not have the slightest fear and cowardice.

So the question is, what is so different about this scholar that Emperor Chongzhen was moved by it, and even had a jealous mood?

Xu Xianchun can't figure out these questions, and he doesn't need to figure them out.

Xu Xianchun only knew that he was the sword in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and the meaning of his existence was to cut off all possible problems for the Son of Heaven, and he didn't need to care about anything else.

Since the existence of this scholar made the Son of Heaven feel uncomfortable, then, whether he really had a problem or not, whether he really had the ability to make the emperor jealous, it became irrelevant, because he would soon disappear - those who completely disappeared from the world naturally did not have the slightest threat.

As for what to do with the accidental killing of a good person? Xu Xianchun obviously didn't care much about this issue.

Just like Emperor Chongzhen said before, Jinyiwei's reputation is a great disrespect to the emperor - besides, the order to remove this scholar is made by himself, and he should naturally take all the responsibility himself.

The emperor must be great and bright, and he himself is a demon hidden in the darkness!

Guan Bu is very reliable, some simple small means are used, so that this scholar who ran to the Qinglou will step on the air when he goes downstairs, and he will be killed directly after rolling down the stairs, and no one can see that this accident was deliberately done by someone at all.

For more than two months after Xu Xianchun left Nuergandusi, Emperor Chongzhen felt a little uneasy in his heart, and even a little unpleasant.

It wasn't until Xu Xianchun came back from Wuxi that Emperor Chongzhen pressed the tension in his heart and asked, "Have you investigated it clearly?" ”

Xu Xianchun suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "Weichen is guilty!" Although the scholar who figured out the tobacco was all right, and did not answer the two questions, the criminal still took matters into his own hands, and ordered someone to assassinate the scholar and then falsified the accident, please punish Your Majesty! ”

When Xu Xianchun just knelt down and said that he was guilty, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was sudden, and he thought that Xu Xianchun had messed up the matter by going out in person - could it be that guy is really a traverser? Or is there really some claim for a child of destiny?

After hearing Xu Xianchun say that he had killed people, Emperor Chongzhen only felt a little incredulous: "Confirm that it is the scholar himself?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care if he killed a good person by mistake, Jinyiwei did this kind of dirty work, and Emperor Chongzhen was more concerned about killing the scholar himself who was suspected of being a traverser.

There has been this kind of oolong incident in history that mistakenly hit the deputy car, and those children of destiny similar to the great demon master Liu Xiu are basically some inexplicable existences, so Emperor Chongzhen is not nervous.

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's question, Xu Xianchun bowed in a deep voice: "Weichen is willing to guarantee with the head of the item, it must be the scholar himself, and there is no way to go wrong." ”

Xu Xianchun was sure enough, after all, the identity of the scholar was confirmed by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the person sent out to carry out the task was also led by Guan Bu himself, and he saw all this from afar, and it was impossible to kill the wrong person.

It was only at this time that Emperor Chongzhen was completely relieved - no matter what, there must not be a second traverser in this world!

The five hundred wastes are a special case, and there is almost no reference value - the first article of the traverser training manual, once it is found that there is a suspected traverser traveling with you, except for a few special circumstances, it is best to kill the other party immediately, immediately, and quickly.

Or wait to be killed by the other party.

Now it's okay, the person who is suspected of being a traverser is dead, although the death is a little aggrieved, and it is possible that he was killed by Jinyiwei by mistake at all, but there is no point in continuing to think about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply summoned Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou and others together.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had no threat, decided to collect tobacco taxes! And this thing can't be taxed at the same rate as commercial tax, it has to be heavily taxed!

The tobacco of later generations is controlled by the state, and the Celestial Empire ruthlessly collects heavy taxes to replenish military expenses, and Emperor Chongzhen can still let go of these private businessmen who are still thinking about tax evasion?

Moreover, the tobacco tax is a good thing, the Celestial Empire of later generations relied on this thing to arm the world's most awesome land hall, and even used the warship as a dumpling to go into the water, and the air hooligans also relied on the tobacco tax to create it, and the Ming Dynasty couldn't get more tobacco taxes, and then make more things out?

Even if the tobacco tax collected is not used to make things directly, it is good to invest it in the bottomless pit of the Royal Academy, at least it can save a lot of money in the inner money.

After listening to Emperor Chongzhen's idea of wanting to collect tobacco taxes, Wen Tiren pondered and said: "Your Majesty, anyone can grow tobacco in the people, and everyone can produce and sell it. ”

Guo Yunhou also bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, if you impose heavy taxes on those who sell cigarettes, what about those ordinary people who grow and smoke themselves?" If the people sell it privately, I'm afraid that with the ability of Jinyiwei, it may not be able to supervise it, right? ”

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said: "It doesn't hurt for the people to sow themselves, this commercial tax can't be collected anyway, but it is traded in private, because it has become a business, so it is natural to be taxed."

It's just that what the two Aiqing said makes sense, after greatly increasing the commercial tax on cigarettes, I am afraid that the people will sell them privately and be more secretive, and Jinyiwei may not be able to supervise them.

In this case, why not set up a tobacco department to specialize in the production and sale of tobacco?

I believe that the people of my Ming Dynasty are all good people who know etiquette and abide by the law, and as long as the law is enacted, the people will definitely not take the risk to sell it privately. ”

Who was the most active in the fight against counterfeit cigarettes and illicit cigarettes in later generations?

It's not the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, let alone 315, but the China Tobacco Industry Group in various places, because the existence of fake cigarettes and illicit cigarettes has really violated their interests.

The same is true in Daming, as long as the local tobacco bureaus directly under the jurisdiction of the Tobacco Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs are established, they will actively crack down on the private trade in tobacco, not to mention fake cigarettes.

As for saying that I believe that the people of Daming will not violate the law of Daming and do not engage in the trade of illicit cigarettes, it is even more nonsense.

The Ming Dynasty has laws, but it is more dependent on human rule, it is the imperial court that formulates the laws, and it is the yamen everywhere who enforces the laws and interprets the laws - who is under the court? Why did you sue the Officer?

This is not a joke, this is a real situation in Daming.

As long as the Criminal Department prohibits the existence of private illicit cigarette trade, the tobacco bureaus in various places will send those who dare to engage in private illicit cigarette trade to the yamen, and the yamen will refute the tobacco bureau in the face of the people?

It's impossible to think about it.

After Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou quietly glanced at each other, they were both a little distressed about the newly appointed Shangshu Jin Hyun of the Criminal Department - what else is the revision of the Daming Law, and the revision of the Law of the Sea and the Railway Law is not finished, and then there is another tobacco law?

However, this distress is only a few seconds away - the dead Daoist friend is not the dead poor Dao, let Kim Hyun have a headache.
