Zhu Youxiao could see that Zou Yingquan, the servant of the temple, was obviously addicted to drugs, so that he couldn't control it and had to take two sips above the court, and he didn't care what kind of occasion this was at all.

Although there is now an internal factory to crack down on the tobacco trade, which is gradually rising and spreading, so that it cannot poison the people, it is inevitable that there will be poison among the high-ranking officials and eunuchs.

In order to show his determination to strictly prohibit the trade in tobacco and the smoking of tobacco, Zhu Youxiao was going to pull out this servant Siqing and behead him directly without saying a word, which is still rare in this dynasty, even if he dealt with the Donglin rebel party back then, there was no example of such a direct execution without going to prison first.

But now that the emperor is in full swing, no one dares to disobey Zhu Youxiao's tiger whiskers.

Zou Yingquan had already had an attack at this time, trembling all over, holding his head and hitting the ground, not realizing that he was going to be beheaded by Zhu Youxiao immediately, even after Jinyiwei pulled him out and pressed him on the ground, he was still like this, but unexpectedly, an embroidered spring knife flashed like the wind, and his head that was full of drug addiction and shaking non-stop suddenly moved, and the person was quiet, and closed his eyes quietly.

This may also be a relief for him.

"Spread the decree that in the future, all those who smoke tobacco and soil, whether they are officials or people, will be put to death! Those who sell tobacco and soil will be punished by one degree, and their family business will be stolen! ”

Zhu Youxiao immediately issued such an order, and ordered the immediate promulgation of the prefectures and counties of the political departments, which is not not severe, but it is precisely because of this that the phenomenon of tobacco poisoning the Ming Dynasty has been nipped in the bud.

Because His Majesty now wants to crack down on the sale and smoking of tobacco soil, the inner factories that control the tobacco trade continue to expand in scale, and offices have been set up in all prefectures and counties.

In this way, there is no more smoke and soil flooding in the Ming Dynasty, but in the distant Europa, because of the more and more developed ocean shipping industry in the Ming Dynasty, it has been flooded.

A decisive battle between the Ming Fleet and the Western Combined Fleet in the South China Sea did not make the Western countries completely decide to contact the Ming Dynasty, and perhaps they could not afford to break up, after all, they still had to rely on the huge market of the Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, the exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and Western countries were more frequent, and even Jinyiwei set up offices in Franco, the Netherlands, Great Britain, France, Prussia and other countries.

These Westerners are also polite to the people of the Ming Dynasty, dare not slack off, and even very curious about the life of the Ming people, basically the brocade guards will attract a lot of attention when they appear in the bustling street market, and the defeat of a naval battle on Java Island, far away from their homeland, did not bring them much national hatred, and these Ming brocade guards brought tea ceremonies and music and excerpts have also attracted a lot of fans.

However, according to these brocade guards, these Western fan's favorites are still the cigarettes produced by the Ming Dynasty, especially the king of tobacco and soil - Meisheng tobacco.

Zhu Youxiao did not allow the sale and smoking of tobacco in China, but asked the Royal Academy of Engineering to help Meisheng Company set up a research institute to develop various tobacco products.

The addiction rate of these chemically processed eyebrow cigarettes is dozens of times greater than that of traditional tobacco soil, but the appearance is more beautiful, or shiny as white 0 powder or rolled with exquisite paper rolls is no different from modern paper cigarettes, or it becomes a pill, and even uses chicken intestine skin tanning to process it into a coating and wrapping granular poison 0 product to make a Ming version of the capsule.

Even in order to attract these Western nobles to buy, they specially painted Western paintings on the small cigarette case, and even engraved one or two exquisite English letters under the Chinese characters, all of which chose the sentences of famous Western literary artists, and some even specially let some Western princes as endorsements.

In short, since the Ming Dynasty could not trade tobacco in China, the surviving tobacco merchants could only change their ways to make money in Europa and other places.

Many princes and dukes are almost bankrupt because of smoking Meisheng cigarettes, and even if they are not bankrupt, they have to change the law to exploit laborers to meet their own tobacco capital, so that the Europa countries that are about to enter the peak of their rise began to have several riots.

William Lauder, who was appointed Archbishop of Scotland by King Charles I of England, was lying with his mistress on a soft couch, which was a leather couch imported by the Ming Dynasty, with springs added to it, and it was very comfortable to lie on, and this couch was now a place where he and his mistress smoked their eyebrows.

William Lauder, wearing only a nightgown, slumped on the couch, his legs like bamboo poles on the table, smoking desperately with only a silver cigarette gun made by the Meisheng Company, his mistress was also swallowing clouds, and her face was more enjoyable than when she did the Wushan thing.

Coincidentally, even Rietta Maria, the queen of Charles I, the sister of King Louis XIII of France, was no longer obsessed with equestrianism or gambling with one or two noblewomen, but now preferred to be in her own estate with one or two noblewomen, holding wine, a beautiful child, and a cigarette, smoking all day, until the whole person was slightly sober from the daze.

Cromwell, who was born into the declining aristocracy of England and was the leader of yeoman farmers and craftsmen, was naturally reluctant to see his British Empire look like it is today, as a legendary historical figure who overthrew the Stuart dynasty and made great contributions to the English constitutional monarchy.

Cromwell urgently expressed to Charles I through parliament the serious phenomenon caused by the spread of opium in the British Empire and the predictable terrible consequences, which roughly means that in Chinese, it is nothing more than that if this continues, the British Empire will have no soldiers to fight, and there will be no people to raise soldiers, the country will become more and more declining, paganism is bound to return, the British Empire will fall into division, civil strife and even destruction, etc., and implore King Charles I to be the plan of the British Empire, and must stop smoking clouds.

Seeing his wife getting thinner and thinner, and his other royal children becoming insensitive, Charles I also felt the deep crisis brought to his dynasty by the flood of Ming smoke.

So, Charles I met the political rookie - Cromwell directly in his inner garden.

In fact, Charles I did not welcome Cromwell, a political upstart who represented the interests of the low-level yeoman farmers and craftsmen, because he was always opposed to his frequent wars against sectarian unity.

And Cromwell did not have a good impression of this militaristic king, but now that the national crisis is at hand, he can only unite with the outside world.

Charles I was very moved by Cromwell's demeanor after meeting him, and he was more determined to ban smoking, so he directly named Cromwell as the Earl of Holdness, and made him hold an important position.
