Chapter 897: Deadly Flowers

Huang Yueying said with a smile: "This is the inevitable result, before the power of our Sichuan army reaches its maximum, everyone is afraid of the world like a tiger, whether it is a poor official, a general with a humble background in the army, or ordinary people, they dare not think about moving the world clan."

But now that Jingyi and other states have been defeated, the Sichuan army has the tendency to dominate the world, and the superstition of the power of the world has been broken, and it is replaced by a large amount of property left by the world.

Who doesn't covet a class that owns a lot of possessions but can't protect them?

The Sichuan army has developed to this day, and the family is no longer what it used to be, it used to be a man who everyone feared, and now it is a barbecue that everyone covets.

In the past, the clan was the biggest obstacle to the rise of our Sichuan army, and now, there are people who can clear the obstacles for us. ”

"It's not a good sign." Liu Zhang said.

"Huh?" Huang Yueying looked at Liu Zhang slightly strangely.

Liu Zhang didn't explain, he couldn't help but tell Huang Yueying that the blow to the world clan now had departed from his original intention.

I didn't deliberately target one class, but because the clan has developed for hundreds of years, it has been a decay that has to be eradicated, but in fact, the clan still has a lot of merits.

For example, their loyalty and righteousness, there are still many people among them who cherish their family and country.

The family interests of the family have developed to the present, and they have become extremely selfish, and they will do whatever it takes for the interests of the family, whether it is the patriarch or the children of the family, if they do not increase the benefits of the family, they are not filial, and they are sorry for the ancestors.

As long as it harms the interests of the family, it is a heinous crime.

Coupled with the huge energy of the family, this is very harmful to the development of the entire society.

But in the case of the family nepotism itself. If it is controlled within a certain range. It is conducive to social development.

Liu Zhang targeted the Shi clan. It is because the clan is already large and decaying, and it cannot be recreated without eradication, but now it has evolved and deteriorated.

The people defeated the clan, just to fight the local tyrants to divide the land and grab things.

It is undeniable that most of the civilian officials of the Sichuan army have been trained by officials, and the poor families who have been promoted by the four imperial examinations are the absolute majority in the army. There are righteous people in the cold door.

But there are so many cold families, there will be many people who are purely hostile to the upper class clans, plus the basic policy of the Sichuan army, although Liu Zhang did not say it, but the lower class automatically understands that it is to defeat all the clans.

This has created a kind of antagonism, not only between the Hanmen and the clan, but also against some of the excellent things that exist in the clan.

An era dominated by a decadent clan is terrible, but an era that is purely devoid of loyalty, morality, and family values is equally terrible.

But now Liu Zhang found that he couldn't think of a good solution. After this battle of Xiahetao, Liu Zhang felt that it was not a war to unify the world. It's after you dominate the world.

The clan no longer exists, but it can't rebuild an era that is worse than a society controlled by the clan.

Liu Zhang suddenly saw the soldier holding a black box in his hand, and said to the soldier, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

The soldier hurriedly presented the box to Liu Zhang, and said: "This is a precious plant brought back from the Western Regions by Mr. Pang Tong, Mr. Pang Tong has defeated the Dawan Kingdom, and the King of Dawan surrendered and agreed to establish the Dawan Capital Protectorate."

At the same time, from Wusun, through the northern vein of the Tianshan Mountains to Xiliang transportation road, post stations were established one after another, and soon after, it could be transported back to Dawanma. ”

"Good." Liu Zhang nodded, opened the box at the same time, and heard that the soldier said that it was a precious plant, Liu Zhang's heart was very excited, and even Pang Tong said that it was precious, what kind of high-yield crop? The more stuff the merrier.

Liu Zhang opened the box, and inside was a flower, very beautiful, and some hemp fruits like chestnuts, Liu Zhang's eyes widened instantly, and the expression on his face changed dramatically.

The soldier said: "I heard from the people sent back by Mr. Pang Tong that this flower is a plant produced in Daqin, and the locals call it 'Forget Worry Grass', which has many functions.

Because of the beautiful flowers, many of the owners of Daqin Manor have planted them to decorate the garden, and the husks and juice of the forget-worry grass have analgesic effects, which are very effective for common diseases such as diarrhea and abdominal pain, and the effect on perennial cough, intestinal dryness and other incurable diseases is also obvious.

These Mr. Zhang Zhongjing have already confirmed, not only that, but the forgetfulness grass also has an anesthetic effect, which can make people feel comfortable physically and mentally, and their physical strength and spirit will increase.

Moreover, the small seeds of the grass can also be squeezed for oil, which has many functions.

Because it is difficult to transport the forgetfulness grass to the Central Plains, more than a dozen large merchants are vying for the right to buy the forgetfulness grass after hearing about the forgetfulness grass, and are preparing to bid in Chang'an.

Because the Forget-Worry Grass is not an ordinary plant, and it may have a deep impact on the future of medicine, Master Jiang Wan prepared a little by the way, and let me show it to the lord. ”

Liu Zhang took a deep breath, his hands were trembling, and slowly opened the withered petals in the box, a little grease stuck to his hands, and inside was a handful of dense stamens, which surrounded the buds like moon cakes.

Then open the chestnut-like flax-colored fruit.

Huang Yueying said with a smile on the side: "'Forget Worry Grass', a very beautiful name, if the effect is so good, it is worth cultivating." ”

"Report to the military advisor, Master Jiang Wan said that the effect of this forget-you-no-worry grass will only be better than what you say, and it will not be worse than what you say." The soldier said.

"Really?" Huang Yueying was surprised, and at this moment, she suddenly heard a "pop", Liu Zhang threw the box on the ground, and the withered flowers and "chestnuts" in it were sprinkled on the ground, and Huang Yueying and the soldier were stunned.

"Forget the bullshit, this is poppy, it's opium...... It's a psychedelic drug, if anyone dares to plant and sell this kind of thing, I want him to divide the corpse of five horses and behead all over the house. ”

Liu Zhangteng stood up, angry, the soldier was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground, Huang Yueying was also stunned for a long time, it was rare to see Liu Zhang so angry.

After a while, Huang Yueying stood up and whispered to Liu Zhang: "Lord, do you know this plant?" ”

Liu Zhang took a deep breath, and also felt that he had overreacted just now, but fortunately, he knew the appearance of the poppy in the drama props in his previous life. Also heard about the characteristics of the poppy. If this plant is introduced to the Central Plains. Then he is a sinner for the ages, how can he not be angry.

Liu Zhang calmed the anger in his chest and said to Huang Yueying: "This is not a forget-you-no-worry grass, it is a psychedelic drug, a drug that is addictive whether it is taken or applied externally, and it is very deadly.

It won't take long for them to become addicted, and after addiction, 99 out of 100 people can't quit and have to live on this drug. Eventually, life withers until it is all exhausted. ”

"What? This herb is so powerful? Huang Yueying picked up the smashed flowers and observed them carefully.

"Of course it's amazing, a million-dollar merchant, if one person is addicted, bankruptcy is only in the blink of an eye." Liu Zhang said with a cold face, turned to the soldier and said, "You go back and give Jiang Wan an order to stop this medicine from flowing into the Central Plains, no, even the Western Regions can't flow in."

Anyone who dares to introduce, sell. The person who planted it, no matter who it was. Confiscation of family property, execution of all houses, buyers, car cracks. ”

"Huh?" The soldier forgot to answer for a while, and said in his heart, isn't it just a plant? How can the punishment be so harsh.

"It's a death order." Liu Zhang said in a positive voice, and the soldier hurriedly agreed, exited the tent and ran away.

Liu Zhang pressed his temple, the opium poppy has a long history in the Mediterranean, and its addictive effect has been discovered as early as more than 300 years ago, but fortunately, people at this time have not thought of using it, and neither merchants nor other people have discovered the true value of the poppy.

It shouldn't be difficult to control in this case.

Liu Zhang temporarily threw the poppy aside and said to Huang Yueying: "Pang Tong took Dawan, and now that Jiaozhou and the Western Regions are basically decided, if the battle of Xiahetao is won, our war to unify the world can begin." ”

Pang Tong defeated Dawan Liu Zhang without accident, if with so many local troops in the Western Regions, a Dawan can't take it, then I'm sorry for Pang Tong's name of Fengxiao.

It's just because of the huge benefits of capturing Dawan that Liu Zhang is a little warm, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was plundered by the northern Xiongnu, the war horse could not gallop back to the Central Plains from the northern grassland, but now he can, plus the supply station, the loss of Dawan horse is bound to be minimal.

With so many big horses, the cavalry of the Sichuan Army will definitely be able to sweep the world a year later.

But Liu Zhang saw that Huang Yueying's expression was a little bad, he knew that Huang Yueying thought of Zhuge Liang because of Pang Tong, and when he heard the news of Zhuge Liang's death, Pang Tong would also be sad.

At this time, Zhao Yun walked in from outside, and Huang Yueying immediately stood up: "Zilong, where is Kong Ming's body?" ”

Zhao Yun waved his hand back, and a soldier came in with a box, and Zhao Yun said, "This is Mr. Kong Ming's ashes." ”

"Cremated so soon?" Huang Yueying took the box, tears flowed down again, Liu Zhang stepped forward and stood next to Huang Yueying: "Yueying, if Zhuge Liang is not dead, me and him, give you another chance to choose, who will you choose?" ”

"My lord?" Huang Yueying's eyes moved away from Zhuge Liang's ashes and looked at Liu Zhang: "Husband, my feelings for you and Kong Ming are different, but Kong Ming grew up with Yueying after all, I can't be indifferent to his death, husband, don't mind, okay?" ”

"Why, it's enough to have your words." Liu Zhang hugged Huang Yueying's perfectly curved body and whispered in her ear.

In the barracks of the white pole soldiers, in an inconspicuous tent, Liu Zhang walked in with Zhao Yun, inside a man in his twenties sat at one end of the table, Xiao Furong sat next to him, and when he saw Liu Zhang coming, he immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Rong'er did a good job." Liu Zhang smiled and touched Xiao Furong's smooth cheeks.

"It's all General Zilong's credit." Xiao Furong's face flushed, avoiding Liu Zhang's hand.

Liu Zhang walked to the other side of the table, looked at the young man with gauze wrapped in his throat and said, "Mr. Kong Ming, how is it?" Still sore throat? ”

"Fortunately, thank you King Shu for not killing." The young man is Sang Qianpo's Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun's marksmanship has reached the realm of supernatural mastery, one shot only pierced the blood and did not pierce the throat at all, and the backhand shot knocked Zhuge Liang unconscious, covered by a horse, and all the soldiers thought that Zhuge Liang was dead.

Xiao Furong came up with the white pole soldiers at the end of the team and took Zhuge Liang away, which was also the purpose of Liu Zhang's sending Xiao Furong out.

"I'm curious why the King of Shu didn't kill me, does the King of Shu think Zhuge Liang will surrender to the King of Shu?" Zhuge Liang asked curiously.

"Never thought about it." Liu Zhang replied: "At the beginning, Yueying told me that because she was in my army, you Zhuge Liang would never be able to serve me Liu Zhang, you Zhuge Liang is also a man, and he thinks very highly of himself, how can he serve under his fiancΓ©e, or the fiancΓ©e who was taken away by others." ”

"Is the King of Shu proud that he took away my fiancΓ©e?" Zhuge Liang said lightly, Zhuge Liang's whole body at this time is very calm, if it is said that it is also very calm in the camp of the people of Di, the difference between it and the present is that the peace in the camp of the people of the people of Di is suppressed, and now it is more tranquil.

"Of course I'm proud, Yueying is such a good woman, whoever gets it will be proud, don't expect it, I have already asked Yueying, even if you live, let her choose again, you will choose this king, you are just an ordinary friend of her."

What we said in Chengdu at the beginning, the battlefield and the love field have to be contested, haha, you are now defeated. ”

"The villain has a will." Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Zhang with disdain, and then said lonely: "Hearing you say this, I am much more relieved, at least you are sincere to Yueying, you are the king of Shu, you can pursue Yueying fairly for so long, I don't have anything to say except congratulations to you, but." ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, "I still want to know why you let me go?" Now that you know that I won't serve you, and Yueying has already acquiesced to my death, what scruples do you have? Do you really think that I, Zhuge Liang, am not a threat to you Liu Zhang? ”

"How come, to tell you the truth, you are a character I am very jealous of, and the reason why I let you go is for two reasons, one is because of this letter."

Liu Zhang took out a letter and handed it to Zhuge Liang: "This is a letter written to me by Zhelan, before you set out on the expedition, a female friend of yours, forgive me, I don't know how far your relationship has been, I can only call my friend, named Cai Yan."

Cai Yan heard that you had a premonition that this expedition would be difficult, she was more worried than you, and she didn't even think about whether your premonition was grounded, so she found Zhelan.

The letter said that Cai Yan was because you gave up the people of the same clan, broke with the clansmen, and saw the sadness in your heart, and when you returned to the tent after scolding the clansmen and killing another Di general, I heard that you were crying.

The dignified Zhuge Kongming actually cried, and this king thought it was quite funny.

And when you were crying, Cai Yan stood behind you, and then went to Zhelan's military camp and begged Zhelan not to send you on the expedition, and even Cai Yan himself felt that something would happen to you on this expedition.

Later, after you set out on the expedition, Zhelan wrote me this letter, mainly about your break with your people, and asked me to consider whether to spare your life. ”

"Because I broke with the family, you let me go?" Zhuge Liang asked. (To be continued......)
