"Sure enough, it's you!!"

Yang Qi looked at a large patch of bright pedicles in front of him, and his eyes widened angrily.

The flowers on an acre of land are particularly eye-catching, but when Yang Qi sees them, it is like seeing an enemy.

And in the field on the other side of the flowers, the withered yellow pedicles of the flowers are even more eye-catching.

Yang Qi asked Xiang Minzhong in a trembling voice, "Have you already harvested a stubble?" ”

Xiang Minzhong didn't understand why Yang Qi was so moved, but he still nodded sincerely.

Yang Qi said angrily: "Now! Immediately! Right away! Get me back all the ones that were scattered. Wherever it is hidden, I'll get it back. Anyone who dares to stop it will punish the Nine Clans! ”

The people who followed Yang Qi all trembled in their hearts.

They finally understood the gravity of the matter.

Since Yang Qi became emperor, he rarely punished the nine clans, but once it was implemented, it was a major event that shocked the whole country.

Xiang Minzhong said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, most of the harvested seeds are stored in the treasury of the academy, and only a small part of them have been sent to the medical school for Fahai to test their use.

This thing is not left behind, and if Your Majesty wants to destroy it, he can destroy it all. ”

Hearing Xiang Minzhong's words, Yang Qi was a lot relieved.

Xiang Minzhong saw that the anger on Yang Qi's body was gradually gone, and he asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what is this thing?" ”

Yang Qi opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Do you know about the five food scatters? ”

Xiang Minzhong was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "A poison that corrupts people's hearts." ”

Yang Qi's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "It's called the poppy, and it's an evil thing that is a hundred times more terrifying than the five food scatters. ”

"This thing should be burned completely, and those who dare to hide this thing should all be punished by the Nine Clans!"

Xiang Minzhong understood the severity, and he said fiercely in shock.

"Sasha~"

"Who?!"

Just as Xiang Minzhong said the Zhujiu Clan, there was a salsa sound in the parched poppy field.

Yang Qihumu immediately swept over.

Then I saw a few students dressed in Yenching University costumes jumping out of the poppy fields, spreading their legs and running out.

Yang Qi and Xiang Minzhong were all shocked.

Yang Qi exclaimed: "Grab them all, run any of them, I want your heads." ”

The imperial guards pounced.

A few students were their opponents.

After a while.

The four students were all captured and escorted in front of Yang Qi.

Yang Qi coldly instructed Xiang Minzhong, "Your people, you ask." ”

Xiang Minzhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Tell the old man, what are you hiding in this field?" ”

The four students trembled and said nothing.

Zamahe Aoki kicked hard, and one of the students fell to the ground, and several poppy balls rolled out of his chest.

Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, and Xiang Minzhong's face turned pale.

"You're here to steal this?"

Xiang Minzhong asked sharply in a trembling voice.

One of the students knew that he couldn't hide it, so he knelt on the ground and wailed loudly, "Mountain Chief, we didn't mean to steal, and begged Mountain Chief for forgiveness. ”

Yang Qi said coldly on the side: "Now that the matter is over, do you still have to pretend not to know, when this is an ordinary theft?" Tell me when you started stealing this thing, and why did you steal it? Who instructed me? ”

"Say!"

Zamahe Aoki pulled out the knife very cooperatively, and let out a full sigh, and the frightened students trembled.

One of them said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, we, we really didn't mean to. We didn't steal much ...... either."

The student finished the process tremblingly.

They were students from a local area, and one of them was a student in agriculture who had participated in the cultivation of opium poppies.

When the poppy was harvested, he stole one and brought it back.

Then there was someone in their school who was the son of an old pawn in the four northwestern provinces, and he was infected with the bad habit of smoking, and after hearing that the poppy seemed to have a paralyzing use, he rolled it in a cigarette and tried it.

And then it was out of control.

Even, they also took this thing to the Qinglou Workshop in the city.

It is said that with this thing, they are invincible in the Qinglou Teaching Workshop, and even those Oiran who do not greet ordinary guests have become their playthings.

What is shocking is that someone has taken the benefits of this thing out of their mouths and bought a lot of seeds from them.

"You deserve to die!"

Yang Qi shouted angrily.

Xiang Minzhong closed his eyes in pain, and he didn't open his mouth to intercede for the four students.

Because he knew in his heart that the poppy was really as Yang Qi said, it was an evil thing that was more terrible than the five foods, then the four of them would not be able to atone for their sins by death.

Yang Qi coldly instructed Zama and Aoki, "Take it down and send it to the Supervision Department for strict interrogation." ”

After Zama and Aoki gave up, they let the four students take away.

Yang Qi also summoned the messenger's attendants, "Go and spread my message, and let Peng Pai and Chen Lin send out all their men and horses to strictly investigate this matter for me." But if even the slightest bit of this thing falls into the hands of outsiders, I will punish it. ”

"Then pass on my will, let the Honglu Division immediately start to strictly inspect the import and export customs, but if anyone is found to be carrying this or other dangerous goods, all of them will be escorted to Yanjing City for interrogation by the Supervision Department."

"Also, pass down the gag order, whoever dares to leak this matter to outsiders will be executed immediately!"

The emperor was furious, and millions of corpses were floated.

Yang Qi was furious, and the wind surged.

With Yang Qi's order, it was passed on.

The soldiers and horses of the entire Yanjing City moved.

Sanwei's men and horses were not enough, Yang Qi ordered to go to the Sanwang Mansion again, and asked Yang San to go outside the city and mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses into Yanjing City.

For a while, the wind was loud.

In just one day.

Almost all those who had contact with the poppy were arrested.

Most of the poppies that had been dispersed were also collected in the sheds.

Yang Qi had already ordered people to retrieve all the poppies that were placed in the warehouse of Yenching University Hall, and also asked people to take out all the poppies planted in the field, and not a single root was spared.

Outside the shed, there were dense poppies, and there were thousands of people standing.

It's terrifying.

In just over a month, thousands of people are involved.

Fortunately, Yang Qi found it early, if he let it circulate among the people, he didn't dare to think about what Yan would become.

Yang Qi looked at all this coldly, and he quietly waited for Peng Pai to confiscate the last seeds and solve them together.

However, when Peng Pai came back, he brought Yang Qi bad news.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates were ordered to track down this thing, and found that the last batch of seeds of this thing was hidden by the spies of the Japanese State. The subordinates chased him to the embassy of the Japanese state and were stopped by the envoys of the Japanese state.

It is a matter of foreign affairs, and the subordinates cannot make a decision, so please ask Your Majesty to show it. ”

Yang Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Tell them to hand over this thing in full, and I will not be responsible for the past." If they are stubborn, you will bring someone to kill me, and then bring their corpses and this thing to me. ”

Peng Pai was stunned and said, "Your Majesty...... Doing so will not cause dissatisfaction among the other envoys? In addition to the envoys of the Great Jin and Dashu who have returned to the country, the envoys of other vassal states are still in the capital.

If we do this, if it spreads, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to Your Majesty's reputation. ”

Yang Qihu's eyes fell on Peng Pai, and he said categorically: "There is no discussion in this matter, whoever is against me in this matter, I will kill him." ”

Yang Qi had made up his mind, and Peng Pai no longer advised.

"喏~"

Peng Pai immediately went down and took people to the Japanese embassy.

The envoys of the Japanese State refused to allow the soldiers and horses of the Yan State to enter the embassy to search.

Peng Pai gave an order and led the soldiers and horses to kill them.

Everyone in the embassy was wiped out.

The whole country was in an uproar.

However.

The seeds of the opium poppy have not been fully recovered.

Because when Peng Pai was verifying, he found that there were nearly half a catty of seeds, which were sent by the envoys of the Japanese State to take the lead in transporting them back to the Japanese State.

When Yang Qi learned the news, he was furious, "Send Iron Hoof out to chase all this thing back to me before the Japanese return to China." Even if you chase it to the Japanese mainland, you have to get it all back.

One less slight, and I will destroy the kingdom of Wa. ”

"喏~"

Peng Pai immediately went down and mobilized all the shadows to start chasing this thing.

Yang Qi waited in the shed garden.

Everyone accompanied Yang Qi and waited in the shed garden.

and so on for seven days.

The iron cavalry of the Yan Kingdom, before the Japanese people boarded the boat, caught up with the Japanese people and brought back the last poppy seeds.

However.

Yang Qi's actions were noticed by someone with a heart.

They felt that what could make Yang Qi go to great lengths to investigate and deal with it must be a good thing.

So, on the way back to Yanjing City, the iron horse was ambushed.

When I saw the Iron Rider who had escorted the seed back, covered in scars.

Yang Qi was furious.

"My Yan Kingdom is really not monolithic, and someone dares to stop the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Give me a strict investigation, in this matter, I don't care how many people I kill. ”

Having recovered all the poppy seeds, the spies began to track down the man who had intercepted the Iron Rider.

In the end, a group of bold and dismantling veterans were found.

Yang Qi ordered people to dig a big pit in the shed, poured half a pit of water, poured ten carts of lime, and buried those thieves and poppies into the pit together.

After more than half a month, the matter came to an end.

Yang Qi also let out a sigh.

What is surprising is that Yang Yanqi gave birth to a baby boy at this time, and the mother and child are safe.

Yang Qi was overjoyed, and after giving many rewards, he recruited Kou Zhun.

The appearance of the poppy woke Yang Qi up.

The benefits of opening the sea are huge, but the hidden dangers cannot be prevented.

Yang Qi can investigate and deal with the opium poppies in Yan, but he can't investigate and deal with the opium poppies in the world.

The establishment of the relevant customs is already imminent.

And Kou Zhun is the chief officer in charge of maritime affairs of the Honglu Division, so this major matter naturally fell on him.

In the shed.

After Yang Qi dealt with the poppy, he was not in a hurry to leave.

Instead, while discussing customs matters with Kou Zhun, he identified the items from overseas planted in the shed one by one.

Everything that Yang Qi could know, he gave clear instructions.

Products such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, corn, etc., Yang Qi let the agricultural professors of Yenching University do land experiments and then let them promote them to the whole country.

With this batch of agricultural products appearing in the people, I believe that the people will become more affluent.

At least when it comes to eating, you won't have to worry about it anymore.

And the millions of acres of vast fields in Liaodong are enough to fill the granary of the imperial court.

As for some other things such as tobacco, Yang Qi just let the agricultural professors grow a small amount and did not promote it.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Qi actually found that they had cultivated rubber trees.

Rubber trees can be very useful.

Yang Qi allows people to cultivate according to local conditions.

There are also some species that Yang Qi could not identify, and Yang Qi asked the professors to cultivate them in moderation so that they could be easily observed.

When Yang Qi finished identifying the products in the shed, he and Kou Zhun discussed the customs matters, and they also finished discussing.

However.

Yang Qi didn't leave the shed in a hurry, but stepped on the path he found when he entered the shed.

The cement road that had solidified, Yang Qi stepped on it in a trance.

Yang Qi has always had the idea of making cement, but he has been too busy to take care of it.

However, he didn't expect that someone would get the cement out early.

That's an honest student, so simple that people can't see a little bright spot in him.

He is a student in the highest university in Yan Kingdom, and he should be regarded as the proudest group of people in Yan Kingdom.

But he didn't look proud at all, but like an enduring man, squatting pitifully on the ground.

Yang Qi stayed in the shed for half a month, and he stayed on the side of the road for half a month.

And the two guards who guarded him beside him also guarded for half a month.

He didn't run away, he didn't shout, but there was a compromise on his face.

When Yang Qi walked to his side, he subconsciously trembled.

"What's your name......"

"Liu Heng ......"

"Do you know what you did?"

Hearing Yang Qi ask.

Liu Heng finally raised his head, he looked at Yang Qi's eyes with a gloomy look, "I just want to repair the road, I haven't done anything hurtful." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"They all call me stupid, they call me stupid, they say I'm stubborn, and some even say that I entered Yenching University because of my connections."

"Oh?"

"Because they think I'm a bit stupid and a little too much to build a road out of stone-burned ash. My classmates laughed at me for being stupid, and the professors called me stupid. They don't want to associate with me, and they don't want to stay with me.

But I'm really not stupid! I think I'm smarter than them, but I'm not very good at dealing with people. ”

"Why do you think that you are not stupid but clever when you build a road out of stone-burned ash?"

"For by making a road out of ash made of stone, you can make a road as hard as a stone. In this way, the imperial court does not need to spend a lot of time repairing dirt roads every year. ”

"Really?"

Yang Qi squatted at the place where the lime road was broken, pulled off a piece casually, and raised it at Liu Hengyang.

"It doesn't seem to be as strong as you say."

Liu Heng lowered his head gloomily.

Yang Qi smiled, "Maybe you can try it and add stones and sand to the lime." That way, the path you make will be tougher. ”

Liu Heng was stunned, and his eyes lit up.

Yang Qi smiled again: "How did you come up with the idea of building a road out of stones?" ”

Liu Heng smiled, "Because my brother was a soldier under His Majesty, he followed His Majesty to attack Youzhou City back then. His Majesty's deeds of burning Youzhou City, he often told me. It's just that I didn't learn the wisdom of burning Youzhou City, but I became interested in using fire to break stones. ”

"Do you know that once the imperial court adopts your method of building roads, a huge amount of wealth will be spent. Maybe your classmates and professors just saw this and said you were stupid. ”

Yang Qi stared at Liu Heng and smiled.

Liu Hengle said: "But after the road is repaired, the speed of the carriages and horses will become faster, and the imperial court will get more gains." ”

"You're right, you're smarter than them."

"That's nature."

"Do you know who I am, then?"

"Grass people Liu Heng see Your Majesty."

Yang Qi personally supported him and said with a smile: "From today on, you are not a grass people, but the imperial court has appointed a four-grade master craftsman." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"You don't have to thank me, I should thank you. You are using your persistence to benefit Yanguo. If you give up this path under the taunts of your classmates, you may not have a chance to appear in front of me. Next time, don't use this method to get my attention again. You guessed that I was going to go to the Shed, so I built a road here to get my attention to you. It's a good idea, but I don't like it. If there are good things, boldly go up and offer them, our Yan Kingdom is not dark. ”

"Remember Your Majesty's teachings!"
