(New books for recommendation, collection!) The support of my friends is my biggest motivation! Please, please, and thank you very much! ）

"My lord, if you do this, once you are exposed, there will be endless troubles!"

"So you can't expose it! **We have discussed finance, these measures of the Qing Dynasty are for the sake of 'national wealth' at the expense of 'people's strength', completely putting the cart before the horse! Now, what did Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, say when Lord Liu was the governor of Liangguang a few years ago? By the way, it is a proposal to ban "smoking", and it must not be done. That is, in the case of Guangdong, the customs department collects about one million cents of foreign drug tax every year, and there is a reason why the tax is still levied even after the ban on "smoking"! This huge amount of money is needed to meet the needs of Beijing, Xie's salaries and local governments, so how to try to make up for the cracks? Gu is honest and straightforward, it will be taboo, it is better to put it on hold, and I want the court to no longer inquire! ”

"Listen, because the court has already reached a tacit understanding on the ** finance, the so-called postponement is to refuse to continue the discussion, and it is obvious that there will be no more inquiries. On the surface, "smoking" is still banned, but in fact, they all point to these big "tobacco" taxes! I really can't see this, I have already made the plan of action, and when the training is almost in a few days, I will first go to the city to reconnoitre, and while clearing the big "smoke", it will be regarded as the actual combat training of the special combat team! ”

Hua Liangfu only stopped it because he was worried that the matter would be exposed, but he also agreed with the ban on "Smoking" in his heart. He couldn't be clearer about the harm of "Smoke", and some of his relatives and friends were harmed: "My lord, then you just said that there are some things that still need our cooperation?" What do you mean by "

Zhang Renjie smiled: "Give me cover, even if someone asks me in the future, you will say that I have been staying in the barracks and have not gone anywhere." This matter should not be publicized, even our team must be closely monitored, in case there are very few betrayals and we go out to inform. ”

"Then my lord, aren't you afraid that I will tell the truth?"

"You? Lend you both guts! Besides, if you were like that, I wouldn't have asked you back!" Besides, if you really do that, the teacher can skin you for me without me doing anything! Okay, no kidding, I'll go out to investigate in two days, and we'll come one by one, starting with those little "tobacco" dealers. Let's go, we're done eating! ”

Since the last time he dismissed the soldiers of the waste wood green battalion in the barracks, Zhang Renjie had this idea. **The poison of China is so deep that now every day he will have in his head the scene of a few big "cigarettes" lying on the ground of the military camp school that day. Although there were only a few people who were smoking at the time, there were still a few people with dark yellow faces and thin bodies.

If it goes on like this, I can't help but smoke it, and the country will be finished. According to Guò's memory, opium poppy cultivation has actually spread throughout the country since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and there is no province that does not have a large number of poppy cultivation. From Mongolia in the north, to Gansu and Shaanxi in the west, to Fujian and Guangdong in the south, and to the rich Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shandong provinces in the east, all provinces have a large amount of land for the cultivation of opium poppy, and it has even become the main business of many peasants. A foreign missionary named James Lee traveled overland from Beijing to Zhenjiang and wrote an article published in the British press, saying that the land between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River was covered with poppy fields along the way!

And the Qing court officials were even more desperate, and gave a fold to Cixi, saying that since the people like to eat **, they should relax the ban on local products**, and the government can tax them, and secondly, they can keep tens of millions of taels of silver in the country to avoid loss; In addition, by strengthening the improvement of the method of making the first system, and imitating the Indian method, to suit the tastes of domestic consumers, the government will not only have huge taxes, but farmers can also increase their income; In addition, the selling price of ** increased by virtue of taxation, and the poor quit smoking and the rich gradually decreased, and finally they naturally forbidden.

Zhang Renjie turned these memories out of his head, and every time he looked back, he felt creepy. What kind of society is this?! Now he really misses his old days, although there are many enemies outside the country, but the interior is still very stable. Although there are dirty things in society, where is it like at this time, the big "smoke" halls are all over the streets, and darkness covers the whole country?

Late at night, the whole county was like a dead city, and there was no sound at all.

Not far from the barracks, there is a street called Red Sun Street, and there are three large "smoke" halls on this street, all of which belong to one family. In the past few days, Zhang Renjie and Hua Liangfu have deliberately investigated the background of the big "Smoke" museum in the county, and all of them are not small.

There are three companies in Andong County that control the trading along the way, one is the Tang family, the second young master of the Tang family and Zhang Renjie are still the same year, and the two are also acquaintances. The Tang family is in Qinghe County, but behind it is the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, and the business is all over Huai'an Mansion, the largest "smoke" museum in Andong County is the Tang family, but the "smoke" soil business ranks second.

The second is the Xia family, a local family in Andong County, the largest "tobacco" dealers. His own family is the biggest reliance, and the old man of the Xia family, Xia Rongde, has a low official position, he has experience in Huai'an Mansion, and he is only an official rank of the eighth grade. However, people have been officials in Huai'an Mansion for many years, and they have controlled the cashiers and clerks in the prefect's yamen for many years. The Xia family is in charge of Xia Rongde's eldest son Xia Liangui, who guards the one-third of an acre of land on Anton's side, plus he is a local, and his influence is the greatest.

The third is the Jin family, the Jin family is also a large local family, and it is the least powerful, but a few years ago, it hooked up with the county government and the Dusi Yamen, and it developed rapidly, and there are three small "smoke" museums in the county, that is, these three on Hongri Street. Since Chen Dusi was transferred and Zhang Renjie arrived, Jin Guangfa, the head of the Jin family, has visited the Dusi Yamen many times to ask to see Zhang Renjie, but Zhang Renjie was busy with training and did not see him. It wasn't until Zhang Renjie made up his mind a while ago to check the source of the soil of "Smoke" that he knew why Jin Guangfa came to the door again and again.

However, although he didn't see Zhang Renjie and lost a backer, the county government still hasn't changed and is still supporting him. What's more, outsiders don't know whether Zhang Renjie has participated in a share or not, and those veterans from the green camp continue to smoke big "cigarettes" in this "Smoke" hall. Ordinary people still don't dare to care, and the Tang family and the Xia family are not ready to meddle in the business, just maintain the status quo.

Hongri Street is close to the military camp station, and it is only a few hundred meters away from the Yamen of the Dusi. Originally, the soldiers here would go to the "Smoke" hall from time to time to smoke a sips, which was very convenient. Now for Zhang Renjie, it is also very convenient to get started.

For the big "Smoke" museum in the county, the settings are basically the same, but the upstairs and downstairs are also graded. Just like the inn at this time, downstairs is a large shop, many people are crowded together, and the whole room is covered with clouds. The upstairs is different, with a small couch set up, a single one can lie down for one person, and there is a special maid to help light "Smoke". Even better, there are single rooms, of course, they are used by people with status and status.

And the back hall of the big "Smoke" hall is the same, most of the rooms are the men's dormitories, the housekeeper's shopkeeper and the account room live in a single room, plus some kitchen utility rooms or something, the most important of which is that there is a warehouse, which stores the treasure in their eyes, the big "Smoke" soil. Every night, a special guy is responsible for guarding these big "smoke" soil all night. However, for many years, there is no one who dares to make trouble in this big "Smoke" hall, let alone come in and grab the "Smoke" soil, so these guys basically slept in the warehouse after the shopkeeper and others fell asleep.

After practicing for so many days, such a high courtyard wall is really difficult for the members of the special combat team, one rushed forward, and the whole person rushed up to the wall with his hand, and there was not much noise under his feet. Zhang Renjie didn't go to it himself, he had already come to reconnoiter the Fushou "Smoke" Museum, and he was very clear about the layout inside, and he also explained it to the team members when he was in the previous action. He and Liang Wei were on guard in the east, west, and south of the courtyard.

"Woo~~" In the corner of the back door of the yard, a big dog was whining in his mouth, and was about to bark, but the team member who had been on the wall accurately shot a dart into the dog's mouth and inserted it directly into the dog's brain, and the big dog fell to the ground without a sound.

Jumping off the courtyard wall and gently pulling the latch of the door, the team members behind immediately followed, scattering and rushing to various rooms. On this hot day, no one closed the windows when they slept at night, and the team members jumped into the room and quickly completed their tasks.

There are a total of twelve guys in the Fushou "Smoke" Pavilion, a shopkeeper and a bookkeeper. The shopkeeper and the bookkeeper each slept in one room, and the other men slept in three rooms in total. But every night there had to be four men keeping vigil over the storeroom, so there were only two dormitories occupied. Zhang Renjie had already had a strict order, these guys were acting for the tiger, selling big "cigarettes", and it was not a pity to die, and several team members rushed into the room and wiped the necks of several people as quickly as possible.

As for the shopkeeper and the two of them, they were accused, and Zhang Renjie still kept them with questions to ask.
