Chapter 1135: Control Opium
Zhang Yu mobilized the army and sent someone to invite Mi Zhu.
Zhang Yu actually didn't want to do anything to Mi Zhu.
After all, the ancients didn't know what this opium was.
It's not a crime, but Zhang Yu can't ignore it.
This Mi Zhu happened to be at home, and he had a heavy affection for Xuzhou.
The Mi family has been in Xuzhou for generations, but Xuzhou has experienced a major war and a series of later changes, and the old relationship between the Mi family in Xuzhou has almost dissipated.
But this did not prevent him from returning to Xuzhou.
Li Zheng suddenly sent someone to invite him, and Mi Zhu was quite surprised.
He knew Li Zheng and was a very busy person.
At the same time, as a relative, he doesn't want to be involved too much with these officials, it's not that he doesn't know the importance of power.
But he knew more about Zhang Yu's methods.
Zhang Yu will not allow them to use their power for profit.
In this way, Mi Zhu did not get very close to the government.
Li Zheng sent someone to invite him, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he ordered his family, and then he went to the governor's mansion.
"Minister, please see Your Majesty."
When Mi Zhu arrived at the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, he saw not only Li Zheng, but also Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu asked Mi Zhu to get up, and then sat down on the chair next to him.
Mi Zhu will observe words and looks, and has already seen that Zhang Yu's face is not very good.
Moreover, he invited himself through Li Zheng, not a private identity, something must have happened, and it was related to himself.
Mi Zhu was a little worried, this Zhang Yu didn't know if it was a special trip to deal with him, or because of other things.
"You brought this thing back?"
Zhang Yu pointed to the opium and said.
Mi Zhu recognized what it was at a glance, and this thing made him profit a lot.
"It was brought back from overseas." Mi Zhu said.
"Did any other merchant come into contact with this?" Zhang Yu asked.
"Yes, but I'm the big guy, because we found out and controlled most of the channels." Mi Zhu replied.
Mi Zhu didn't know what was going on, but he knew that he had to answer honestly, otherwise Zhang Yu would be able to find out by himself.
"Li Zheng, you immediately let the arrester cooperate with the army and confiscate all this thing, if you dare not cooperate, you can take it directly." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu said to Mi Zhu again: "How much inventory do you still have in the Mi family, hand it all over." In addition to selling in Xuzhou, where else is it sold? ”
"This production is not much, and most of it is sold near Xuzhou." Mi Zhu said.
Zhang Yu ordered the confiscation of all opium, but he didn't expect that opium would still be discovered with the opening of the shipping route.
This thing is really harmful, Zhang Yu must clean up these things.
Mi Zhu wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't dare to say it.
This thing was found and brought back by the Mi family, and he didn't expect Zhang Yu to react so much.
"This thing might be valuable." Zhang Yu suddenly thought.
This thing can be sold outside, especially in Britain.
In the future, Britain will sell it to us, and in this time and space, Zhang Yu can sell this thing.
Zhang Yu saw Mi Zhu fidgeting there, and then said: "This thing is extremely poisonous, once people smoke it, they can get great enjoyment, but they will soon become addicted, and once they don't have it, it will be extremely painful." ”
"After a normal person is infected, he will be very dependent, and then continue to smoke, even if he pays a big price, the whole person will be slowly eroded, skinny, and it won't take long to be vulnerable, and for the family, the family is ruined."
"Death to the minister." Mi Zhu was so frightened that he knelt down and said.
Zhang Yu glanced at Mi Zhu, and then said: "You get up, those who don't know are not guilty, not to mention that this thing has not caused great harm." ”
Zhang Yu asked everyone else to go out, leaving Mi Zhu alone.
"This thing is very harmful, but it can also be a powerful weapon, I will send someone to take over all the Fushou ointment, and control the origin."
Where does Mi Zhu dare to have any opinions, in fact, he doesn't get a lot of this thing, although he makes a lot of money, but according to the proportion, there is no way to compare with the entire fleet going out to earn.
Now, the Mi family's fleet can gain huge benefits from overseas, and there is no need to fight against an invincible opponent because of this small profit.
"I will sell this thing to the West, they are eyeing me in China, and they will corrupt them with this thing, and even destroy them." Zhang Yu said confidently.
Mi Zhu felt a cool breath rise in his heart, if this thing is really as Zhang Yu said, this thing is highly poisonous, then Zhang Yu took the initiative to sell it to another place, how terrifying it would be.
"This matter will be a military secret, after you go back, let your people not talk nonsense, if the matter is more deep, temporarily send it overseas, and come back in a year and a half." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu made a move in this matter, but he didn't make a big move, this opium, no one knows the harm in this era, and it is not a big deal for Mi Zhu to bring him back.
Zhang Yu directly took over this thing, and then sent people to plant it on a large scale.
When the production comes up, Zhang Yu will sell this thing to the west, and then how will the powerful Roman Empire attack him.
This private visit to Weifu has really benefited a lot when I arrived in Xuzhou.
The army followed the arrester into the city, and under the leadership of the arrester, they searched one by one and retrieved all the opium.
The output is really not much, only a few tens of kilograms.
After some investigation, there are indeed a few people who are addicted.
The addiction is not too deep, and it should not be a big problem to quit at this time.
"Luckily, I found it early."
Zhang Yu was also happy.
Since his identity was disclosed and the army was mobilized, Zhang Yu asked the army to protect him, and then Zhang Yu began to publicly inspect Xuzhou.
In this way, the people thought that the army was mobilized into the city to protect Zhang Yu, and everything was very normal.
Zhang Yu arranged the army around the gallop road, which was very suitable, and once there was a major event, it could be quickly mobilized.
There were no enemies in the east, no rebels, and no army was needed to be stationed in the city.
Zhang Yu made his rounds here for a few days before deciding to continue south.
During the inspection of Xuzhou, the people were excited, and the morale of the entire Xuzhou was high.
After Zhang Yu entered Xuzhou, they began to settle down.
When Zhang Yu left Xuzhou, there were a large number of people on the roadside to see him off.
The people rushed to send him, and they sent him for more than ten miles.
The people's hearts are as simple as that, give the people a bite to eat, let them have a house to live in, and that's it.
Continuing south, the next stop is the Koto area, where you started.
It is more prosperous than Xuzhou, one is more stable, and the other is the Yangtze River waterway.
Zhang Yu only took five hundred troops, walked for a few days, and arrived at the edge of the Yangtze River.
"Let's go to Shanghai."
Zhang Yu asked the army to wait dozens of miles away, and Zhang Yu continued to obey him.
Shanghai is a place that Zhang Yu focused on developing after taking Xuzhou, and although it was also developed before, it had reservations, because no one knew whether there would be a war here.
