Chapter 386: Forget the Worry Flower

The ban of the government was promulgated, and the elixir was advertised in disguise, so that the elixir that was originally only circulated among the children of some families was famous all over the world, and the children of the families in other places sent people to Wancheng to buy the elixir, and the nobles of Nanban, Shanyue, Xiqiang and even Goguryeo and Wa also sent people to Wancheng to buy the elixir.

Most of the civilians originally cherished money and were reluctant to buy the elixir, and some of them wanted to try it out of curiosity, but they were also afraid of the ban and did not dare to cross the rules, because the Eastern Han Dynasty was a patriarchal hierarchical society, and it was very rigid about what level of people should do, and there were clear regulations in the Han law, such as civilians could only marry wives and not take concubines, and violators would be arrested and imprisoned.

A small number of scoundrel civilians who are not afraid of heaven and earth are what the government prohibits what he does, this kind of person has long been monitored by the agents of Jinyiwei, once they take the elixir, they will be immediately arrested and pulled to mine, this kind of scoundrel who ignores the ban of the government is also a black sheep in the society, it is better to let them work hard under the mine all the time, and social stability can also be guaranteed.

Over time, the people of the Han Dynasty were divided into two groups, one was the common people who obeyed the rules and obeyed the government, and the other was the children of the family who took the elixir as a status symbol and took it desperately.

The common people gradually became stronger in the basic national policy of "all the people are soldiers and all the people are educated", and those children of the family who have been held and respected by Wei Yan have gradually shrunk in the devouring of the elixir.

However, if you want to completely deal with the nomadic tribe nobles and the children of the family, it is not enough to rely on the elixir, there are many enemies or potential enemies, they are either allergic to things made of stone stalactites, purple quartz, white quartz, stone sulfur, red stone resin and other stone powders like the elixir, or have seen the ugliness of those who have taken the elixir of immortal addiction, understand the evil consequences of the elixir, they refuse to take the elixir, and even spread the harmful and useless remarks of the elixir everywhere.

For such an enemy, Wei Yan had another thing for them to enjoy.

Some time ago, Hua Tuo wrote out the formula of Ma Boiling Powder, he thought that Wei Yan knew pharmacology, so he came over to discuss the best formula with Wei Yan, and Wei Yan asked the seed artifact elf Kongkong to help him prepare the best formula for Ma Boiling Powder and handed it to Hua Tuo.

And in this process, Wei Yan keenly noticed that one of the medicines in Ma Boiling Powder turned out to be the seeds of poppies.

Wei Yan frowned and asked, "It doesn't seem that this kind of thing is produced in Middle-earth, right?" ”

Hua Tuo said with a smile: "What the general said is that this thing is called poppy millet, which is indeed not produced in Middle Earth, when Zhang Qian brought it back to Middle Earth from the Western Regions, it took root and sprouted in Middle Earth, but the yield is not much, and only my family planted a few plants in the whole Yuzhou." ”

Wei Yan tried his best to hide the surprise in his heart, and said with a smile: "I heard that the neighbors who have traveled to the Western Regions have said that this thing is called the Forgetfulness Flower, and the people of the Great Qin Kingdom at the end of the Western Regions call it a happy plant, thinking that it is a gift from the gods, and some people say that it is a Forgetfulness Flower, a hypnotic drug. Yuanhua, you put its seeds into medicine and make hemp boiling, which is indeed a great use, but this flower has a greater use. ”

Hua Tuo was an old man, and he could see at a glance that Wei Yan had other thoughts, so he smiled and said: "Listening to the lord say this, it seems that this forgetful flower has a lot of articles?" ”

Since he has pulled down a generation of medical saint Zhang Zhongjing to make a five-stone scattered god elixir, a generation of divine doctor Hua Tuo is not spared, and was pulled off the horse by Wei Yan to jointly study the wonderful use of the Forget Worry Flower.

Wei Yan pointed to the seeds of the Forget Worry Flower: "This seed is the seed of the Forget Worry Flower, which is rich in oil, can be used to squeeze oil, and can also be decocted with water, which can cure nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea."

The shell of this forgetful flower seed can be used as medicine, which can be used as analgesic, cough suppressant, and antidiarrheal medicine, so Yuanhua you use it to make hemp boiling powder medicine is right.

The key is that the fruit of the forgetful flower can be juiced, and the juice is dried and used in medicine, which has the effects of calming the nerves, sleeping, analgesic, antidiarrheal, coughing, and forgetting worries. ”

Hua Tuo was overjoyed: "The juice of the Forget Worry Flower can be used in medicine, and there are so many effects, why didn't I find it before." Great, I want to grow more forgetfulness flowers, pick more forgetfulness fruits and squeeze the juice into medicine. ”

Wei Yan waved his hand with a serious face and said, "Yuanhua, if you listen to me talk about the possible evil consequences of this Forgetful Flower Juice, I'm afraid you won't be so happy." ”

Hua Tuo saw that Wei Yan's face was serious, and he also restrained his smile: "Please tell me in detail." ”

Wei Yan's face sank like water: "Use a knife to cut the skin of the unripe fruit of the Forget Worry Flower, and after the slurry that flows out is slightly solidified, scrape it off and dry it in the shade, which becomes the big smoke that the Great Qin people in the Western Regions say." After boiling and fermentation, raw tobacco becomes a cooked tobacco that can be smoked, and is made into strips or cakes, brown or golden yellow, and has a sweet smell when smoked.

Villagers who have been to the Great Qin Kingdom in the Western Regions once said that the first time they smoked a cigarette, they were not happy, on the contrary, they were very uncomfortable, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, and blurred vision, but this uncomfortable feeling gradually appeared after several intoxications, or the two coexisted, and so on, after repeatedly, people became addicted to big smoke, and once they stopped taking it, it would make people even more uncomfortable! ”

Zhang Zhongjing said with some horror: "That's no different from the elixir!" ”

Wei Yan said expressionlessly: "Of course it's different, the elixir is a stone medicine, the big smoke is a herb, and the human body is not adapted to the stone medicine, but to the herb." ”

Hua Tuo looked disapproving: "Lord, it's just addictive, what's there to be afraid of?" ”

Wei Yan still said expressionlessly, "What is terrible? I can't see much harm in a short time, but over time, the smoker is as thin as firewood, loses his physical strength, loses his spirit, and becomes a walking corpse! ”

"Then I'll destroy all this Forget-You-Forget Flower and don't let it hurt anyone," Hua Tuo said and wanted to throw out the Forget-Worry Flower Seed.

Wei Yan hurriedly stopped him: "Yuanhua, no, although this forgetful flower is harmful to people, if it is used against the enemy, it will be beneficial to us!" ”

Zhang Zhongjing explained the matter of the elixir to Hua Tuo.

Wei Yan added: "The use of this great smoke with the elixir is enough to help us destroy all the powerful enemies, and it is enough for our Han people to no longer have to be oppressed and bullied by foreign races. ”

Hua Tuo shook his head: "Lord, this method is too hurtful, too contrary to benevolence and righteousness, I am a doctor, it is to treat diseases, not to kill people!" ”

Wei Yan pointed to the frontier areas on the map: "Yuanhua, you have also been to this place as a doctor, and you have also seen those grassland aliens burning, killing and looting here, do we have to talk about benevolence and morality when dealing with such beasts?" ”

Hua Tuo practiced medicine all over the world, went to many borders of the Han Dynasty, and saw too many barbarian alien races taking advantage of the decay of the Han government to invade the land of the Han Dynasty unscrupulously, countless Han men were slaughtered by them, and countless Han women were taken captive by them, and their actions were sometimes worse than that of beasts.

"Lord, you're right, but I still don't want to do it myself." Hua Tuo still couldn't turn this corner in his heart.

"Yuanhua, I won't force you, you will hand over the seeds of the Forgetfulness Flower to me first, and when I hire someone to plant the Forgetfulness Flower on a large scale, and hand over part of the seed shell to you to make hemp boiling, as for the matter of the big smoke, you should treat it as if you don't know, don't confide in anyone," Wei Yan said solemnly: "Yuanhua, this matter is not trivial, you must keep your mouth shut." ”

Hua Tuo couldn't accept such a thing psychologically, and he didn't want to torture himself with this matter in his heart at all, hearing Wei Yan say this, he nodded solemnly and agreed, and at the same time, the thought of leaving Yiyang and returning to his hometown in Qian County came to his heart.

When he packed his luggage and was about to go back, several very enchanting women appeared beside him, who accompanied him all the time, inseparable. The methods of the female spies of Dark Xiangwei to confuse men are endless, and even Mr. Hua Tuo, who is nearly sixty years old, can't resist it, indulges in it, and never mentions the matter of Qian County again.

After defeating the Taihang thieves except Zhang Yan, Wei Yan asked Han Hao to transfer more than 10,000 Tuntian soldiers from the Tuntian soldiers to plant the Forgetfulness Flower in the Taihang Mountains.

The Tunmin Gate transports the raw tobacco to a huge castle called the Forgotten Worry Castle, where thousands of Tun Residents are responsible for making the raw tobacco into mature tobacco and transporting it to the Forgotten Worry Pavilions everywhere.

In the eyes of the children of those families, the Forget Worries Pavilion was a paradise opened up by merchants from the Western Regions who came to Middle-earth to bring things from the Western Regions for them to enjoy, and the children of the families who were not accustomed to the taste of the elixir stone powder fell in love with this paste-like item called "Forget the Worries Pill". When the Pill of Forgetting Worries became popular in Middle-earth, the nobles of the grassland tribes who rejected the elixir also learned to smoke the Pill of Forgetting Worries.

After the planting area of the Forgetfulness Flower expanded and the production of the Forgetfulness Pill increased, Wei Yan sent a caravan to sell the Forgetfulness Pill to Europa along the ancient Silk Road, and even across the English Channel to the English Island, so that the Anglo-Saxons could enjoy the good fruits planted by their descendants.

Wei Yan engaged in this forgetful pill, dealing with the grassland aliens and the children of the family just to follow the trend, and dealing with that group of Anglo-Saxon talents is the fundamental purpose.

If Wei Yan had come to experience history purely with a lot of boring travelers, and did not dare or wanted to change history at all, then 1,600 years later, the Great Smoke War of Britain against China would inevitably break out.

After the British East India Company occupied India, it forced the local peasants to grow opium poppy, which was then made into tobacco, and then sold to China by such despicable means as bribery officials and even armed smuggling, earning tens of millions of taels of silver from China every year.

In China at that time, among the smokers of the big cigarettes, not only the Manchu nobles and their affiliated groups belonged, but also some lower-class laborers. They did not have the economic conditions to smoke cigarettes, but once they stumbled, it was not easy to extricate themselves, and after becoming addicted to smoking, they not only suffered physical damage, but even completely lost their ability to work, and often accompanied by the degradation of quality and morality, and the harm caused by tobacco to the Chinese nation's economy and body and mind at that time was immeasurable.

The most shameful thing is that after the British used cigarettes to earn money from the Chinese people and damage the health of the Chinese people, as soon as China banned smoking, they brazenly launched a war of aggression against China, and recklessly oppressed China with the help of strong ships and artillery. On July 24, 1842, the Qing government, under the guns of the British army, was forced to sign the "Treaty of Nanjing", which was the first unequal treaty of the Qing government and seriously damaged the sovereignty of China. The result of the war was that the ancient gate of the Chinese Empire was closed to defend itself, which was opened by the sharp soldiers of the British, and never again reunited. US President Taylor immediately sent an ambassador plenipotentiary to Guangzhou on a warship, and the Qing government was already frightened and hurriedly signed the "Treaty of Wangxia" with him. French warships sailed to the waters of Guangzhou to demonstrate, declaring that they would go north to attack the Zhoushan Islands, and Emperor Daoguang hurriedly signed the "Whampoa Treaty" with him. Since then, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Prussia, Austria-Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, etc., "some of the small countries that China had heard of, or had never heard of, were not qualified to come to pay tribute in the past, and now they are lining up." One by one, they signed treaties with China, and each enjoyed the same privileges as the British in the Treaty of Nanking.

The Chinese Empire suddenly fell into a semi-colonial state, and for 5,000 years, it had never been insulted by this.

Wei Yan thought of the war 1,600 years later, and he remembered the gadget that changed the modern history of China and plunged the Chinese nation into a hundred years of destruction.

The wisdom and words of these Chinese people told Wei Yan what to do, how to repay the national shame and earn money for himself.

In the second century, the Chinese people used the Forget the Worries Pill, just as the British dealt with the Chinese in the nineteenth century, the Chinese people copied the British practice, and treated them with their own way, which was more despicable than the despicable people, and the Forget the Worries Pill was made, and most of them were sold to Dongying, Goguryeo, Tianzhu and Europa, especially Europa, which will become the top priority of the Forget the Worries Pill business.

Wei Yanshen knew the harm of the Forgetfulness Pill to the Chinese people, so even if he knew how profitable the British East India Company was in the later generations, he was reluctant to do this kind of business at first, and then he wanted to open it, such a thing, like a knife and gun, would be a weapon, but it killed people without blood, and if it was used well, it would bring us unprecedented benefits from this filthy thing that poisoned the Chinese people, and it was not only economic.

Wei Yan specially appointed his confidant Wei Zhong to be in charge of this matter, formed the Forget Worry Corps, and with the cooperation of Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, the Forget Worry Flower was planted all over the entire Taihang Mountains, and tens of thousands of people were dispatched to the Forget Worry Castle to make the Forget Worry Pill.

Every day, the caravans of the Forget Worry Regiment send out a large number of Forget Worry Pills and sell them along the ancient Silk Road to the end of the Western Regions.

Wei Yan said that the Roman Empire at the end of the Western Regions was very rich, and asked the caravans to earn the gold coins of the Romans.

In fact, Wei Yan is striving to make every Europa person able to absorb such a high-end product as the Forgetting Worries Pill, and avenge the blood feud of China's weakness for a hundred years and the bullying of European and American powers.
