(New books for collections, recommended votes, please, please!) Your attention is the motivation for my writing, thank you! )
Twenty or thirty tiger-backed and powerful palace guards immediately rushed in when they heard the whistle, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, the waist knife was not out of the sheath, and they waved it like this. Hongshengtang was hit all at once, whether it was tables, chairs, teapots and porcelain, they were knocked over to the ground.
The fat shopkeeper of Hongshengtang was holding an abacus in the inner room to settle accounts, and when he heard the voice, he immediately walked out of the room. "Who are you? Any idea what this place is? Yes! And a few of you, all four, don't stop them for me! ”
The palace guards didn't pay attention to the fat shopkeeper's words at all, and only cared about smashing the contents inside. Just kidding, the military order is like a mountain, and the prince is standing there, and it is only right to complete the order seriously. A dozen or so jobs were originally local ruffians, and when they heard the fat shopkeeper greeting, they put down the work in their hands, grabbed the things at hand and used them as weapons to meet them. None of them had seen what a regular army was like, and they regarded these palace guards as green battalion soldiers who came to find fault. The strong strength background of the Zhou family gave them full confidence.
These palace guards are all elite generals selected from the military camp, full of elite soldiers. Although the knife was not unsheathed, it was really easy to catch these dozen ruffians, and it didn't take a round for more than a dozen jobs to fall down with a scream, and the fat shopkeeper who watched it was dumbfounded.
"You, you, who the hell are you?" After the guards smashed all the downstairs, they immediately rushed upstairs, and the people who were smoking in the room rushed out one after another, and the fat shopkeeper suddenly shouted anxiously.
Geng Jingzhong looked at this fat-headed and big-eared guy with a burst of anger in his heart, it was this kind of person who extinguished his conscience and did whatever he could to make money. The flood of tablets. Seeing that this guy was still making noise, Geng Jingzhong kicked it violently, and the fat shopkeeper couldn't prevent him from being kicked and fell to the wall. "Yang Jian, give me ten big mouths on the front and back of this guy!"
"Yes!" Yang Jianzheng, who had been staying by Geng Jingzhong's side to protect him, felt that his hands were itchy, and he rushed forward and picked up the collar of the fat shopkeeper and jerked it. Slap after slap, "Smack!" Syllable! The sound went on until there were ten of them. The fat shopkeeper's already fat cheeks have become even fatter, and they are obviously ruddy!
"Go back and tell your master, just say that your smoke house was smashed by my Jingnan Palace. In Fuzhou City and even in the whole of Fujian, there is one big smoke house, and all of them can't run away. If you find out that you are opening a big smoke house again, don't blame me for being unkind! Get lost! ”
"Hey!" When the fat shopkeeper heard that it was Jingnan Wangfu, he immediately lost his temper and ran out.
"Yang Jian listens to orders!"
"The last general!" Yang Jianjian carved a step forward.
"You take some people to smash all the smoke houses in Fuzhou City for me! The family is not allowed to let go, and they say that I said that they said that they would be all blessed. Longevity. All the ointment will be sent to the ocean trading company, and this harmful thing will not be sold in the future! Geng Jingzhong said categorically.
"Yes!"
Since Geng Jingzhong discovered this harmful thing, he would never allow it to exist on the mainland. The danger of this thing is too great, it can almost ruin a nation or even a country, and it has to be guarded against. It's just that Geng Jingzhong is still wondering. Longevity. Cream, that is, crow. Didn't the film appear at the end of the Qing Dynasty? How come there was already a feeling of flooding at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty!
It's no wonder that Geng Jingzhong is not a good historian, and the history books he has studied only mention crows. The piece of war and the Humen cigarette sales piece, at most there are some crows. The danger of the piece hài, the others are not mentioned. In fact, as early as 1600, the Dutch were the first to start selling crows to China. Slice.
In the Dutch they peddled crows to China. Before the film, in the Wanli period of the former Ming Dynasty, tobacco had been introduced to the mainland. That is, the Fujian sailors brought back the seeds of tobacco from Luzon, and then spread from Fujian to Guangdong, north to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and finally spread all over the country.
When tobacco was first introduced, it was recorded that tobacco had not been heard of since ancient times. Nearly since the time of Wanli, out of Fujian and Guangzhou, since the Hou Wu, Chu land are planted, always not as good as Fujian blue yellowish fine, called the golden silk smoke, strength and strength to win the best, the beginning of the service, then heard the battle of Yunnan, the division and brigade deep into the miasma, all infected with disease, the only battalion is safe and sound, ask the reason, then everyone takes smoke. It is spread all over the world, and now in the southwest, there is no distinction between the old and the young, and there can be no time between the day and the night. However, Emperor Chongzhen also issued several edicts prohibiting smoking and growing cigarettes, but no matter what, in the last years of Chongzhen, he had reached the point where "three-foot children all smoke".
In addition to Zhang Jiebin's "Jingyue Quanshu" in the works of the Ming people, the history of tobacco is mentioned in Fang Yizhi, "Physics Knowledge" Volume 9: "At the end of Wanli, there is a light Gu to Zhangquan sound, and the Ma family made it called light flesh fruit, which gradually spread to the nine sides, all of which are long pipes and fire and swallow it, and there are drunk servants, and it is strictly forbidden when Chongzhen. It is like spring and the leaves are larger than the vegetables, exposed to dry and fried with fire wine to say the golden silk smoke, the northerners call it a light aunt, or call the burden not to return. Its sex can be damp and diffuse, but after taking it for a long time, the lungs will be scorched, and the drugs will not be effective, and the symptoms will be vomiting yellow water and dying. "It's scary.
Zhangquan's tobacco comes from Taiwan, and the local product door of "Taiwan Fuzhi": "Tamba mushroom is planted in winter and harvested in spring, dried and cut, burned and smoked in a tube, which can be intoxicating." Originated in the bay land, the Ming season Zhangren took the seeds and replanted, now known as smoke, up to the world. "Taiwan's tobacco comes from the Philippines, "Yao Lulu Book" Luzon has a grass name of tamba mushroom, a golden silk cigarette, the smoke enters the throat from the pipe, can make people drunk, but also dispel miasma, can cure head lice. "It can also kill agricultural pests, Zhu Shi's "Haidong Shengyu" said, "Taitian seedlings are insect, and each seed is attached to it with tobacco stalks, and the insects are resting." ”
The role of tobacco is constantly exaggerated, and it spreads faster. If you just smoke this tobacco, the danger is not too big, the bad is that the popularity of tobacco makes the Dutch sell crows. When the smoke is struck, it becomes unhindered. The strong ban on smoking in the imperial court led to smoking pure crows. The flood of tablets.
If only the crows. It is not impossible to use tablets as medicine to cure diseases, because this thing was originally used to cure diseases, and it was regarded as a miracle medicine! But it's completely different when used to smoke, and if you continue to do it for a long time, you will inevitably become weak and become the "sick man of East Asia"! Geng Jingzhong definitely doesn't want to see such a result, so it is imperative to ban smoking!
And according to his estimates, these Dutchmen sold crows. It is estimated that it is the area of Fujian and Guangdong, and it has not yet spread to the whole country to a large extent, otherwise there would not be no record in the history books when he studied. From this point of view, there is still a little bit of benefit to the imperial court's ban on the sea. But even so, a hundred years later, ** is still flooding the country. It is also to blame for the so-called upper class who took the lead in this evil deed, and after more than a hundred years, a large number of smugglers. films, so that the price continues to decrease, so that the low-level peddlers and pawns can take two puffs and experience the rich taste that the upper class is eager for. As a result, the whole nation and the country will be doomed.
Since Geng Jingzhong has decided to completely ban smoking, he is ready to cut it off directly from the source. He immediately ordered and sent soldiers to Yuegang to strictly prevent the Westerners from selling **, and confiscated it immediately if they were discovered. At the same time, the whole province of Fujian was ordered to sell Fu. Longevity. and all those who anointed him confiscated his house. He couldn't control the Guangdong area for the time being, but he also sent a letter to Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, explaining that the crow. Tablets of danger hài, please ask for their assistance in non-smoking.
For a time, all the big smoke houses in Fujian were swept away, and the people who knew the situation praised each other. After half a year, the prince of Jingnan did a great thing again. Although Fu. Longevity. The ointment is completely banned, but tobacco is not banned, Geng Jingzhong knows that although this thing is not a good thing, but the danger is not big, and tobacco has spread to the whole country, even if you want to ban it, you can't ban it.
In less than half a month, all the big smoke houses in all provinces, prefectures and counties in Fujian were confiscated. All the pieces were shipped to Fuzhou. The people sent to Moon Harbor also had another harvest, directly confiscating a Dutch merchant ship and seizing crows. The slice is nearly 50,000 catties. So far, the crows in Fujian. The piece is empty. The inflow channel of Yuegang has been blocked, and without this source, the situation will be much better in the future. At the same time, Geng Jingzhong also ordered that pharmacies all over Fujian should use crows. tablets to treat diseases, you must report to the government like arsenic! Planting, peddling and smoking are strictly prohibited.
After statistics, the crows were finally transported to Fuzhou here. piece, it actually reached more than 100,000 catties. It sounds like a lot, but it's only fifty or sixty tons, and if you load all of them on a ship, it's not enough to fill a small ocean-going merchant ship! All these crows. Kakugeng Jingzhong was not ready to destroy them all, what brought great disaster to the Chinese people, how could he not let the initiator try it! But it is definitely not possible to ship it to Europe for sale, people will recognize it at once, and it needs to be refined!
