"Bang!"

Tan Sitong, who slapped the table, suddenly shouted.

"Shameless! Shameless! ”

When the night was quieter, this angry rebuke echoed in the room, and Tan Sitong, who stood up suddenly, stared at Tang Haoran, his eyes full of anger but with some confusion.

"Shameless! Shameless indeed! ”

Tang Haoran nodded in agreement, he did not answer Tan Sitong's question, but told the reason for his sad roar in the street, and it was really just like what he imagined, but as soon as he said it, Tan Sitong noticed the drawbacks, and immediately became angry.

His approval made Tan Si's doubts in his heart even stronger, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.

"Ziran, why are you ......?"

first admired and admired, and after Tang Haoran mentioned the "gradual ban", that admiration turned into annoyance, it was this kind of gap that made Tan Sitong so out of shape, he didn't expect Tang Haoran to propose the "gradual ban" called the ban on smoking, which was actually to collect money.

"Why is this proposed?"

Tang Haoran smiled bitterly.

"So in the opinion of the resurrected brother, how should this tobacco and poison be banned?"

"It is strictly forbidden for the people to plant! So the smoke and poison must be removed! ”

"In this case, the local medicine is in addition to, but what about the foreign medicine? That's a "legal trade" protected by a treaty, Brother Fusheng, what about getting rid of the local medicine and the flood of foreign medicine? ”

"This ......"

Tan Si was stunned at the same time, yes, what about getting rid of the earth medicine, what about the foreign medicine? Is it a battle with foreigners for foreign medicine? Is it possible to use the strength of the country?

"The scourge of tobacco and poison, although it originated in the West, but it was indiscriminate in the dynasty, for decades, the country and dynasty were worried about the outflow of money, so they took the profit as the reason, the ban on smoking, and the scourge of tobacco and poison was rampant, this gradual policy seems to have a trip to collect money, but in order to control the spread of tobacco and drugs, if it can be controlled, tobacco eaters will not be added, so as to gradually eliminate tobacco poison, at least ......"

With a long sigh, Tang Haoran lowered his head and said.

"At least until we have the ability to completely ban smoking, we can control the spread of tobacco and drugs, otherwise, ten or twenty years from now, what will be the number of smokers? Do you want to control it now, or do you let it run rampant and ignore it? ”

This may be Tang Haoran's only excuse, before he has the ability to stop it, he should control it first, rather than let it spread, at least, in this regard, he will not be morally under so much pressure.

"This ......"

After pondering for a moment, Tan Sitong's brows tightened, as he said, it is better to control it than to let it overflow.

"If that's the case, then why are you screaming in the streets?"

It seemed like a simple sentence, but it hit Tang Haoran's weakness, so that the hand holding the cup trembled a few times, and it took a while before he said.

"Because all eyes are silver!"

Tang Haoran closed his eyes in pain, and his voice became low.

"Each of them, what they see is the silver of the white flowers after the ban on smoking, and the submissions they hand over, word by word, are all silver, if they let them preside over the ban on smoking, wouldn't it become a joke, now although I will preside over the ban on smoking, but, Brother Fusheng, since these people can see the benefits of the ban, he will implement it in Hubei, how can the provinces ignore it? Whether the gradual ban policy is successful or not lies in the control of zhì, strict control of new smokers, and the tobacco profits brought by the gradual ban, how much more than tens of millions a year, I may be able to ban in Hubei, but what about Hunan? What about all of China? At that point, what they saw was that the more people who smoked cigarettes, the greater the tobacco profits! They may even want to eat tobacco all over the country......"

Speaking of this, Tang Haoran clenched the teacup in his hand in pain, and even his expression became hideous, he believed that those who only had silver in their eyes could do it, and then this "gradual ban" would become a joke.

"Ziran is extremely worried."

Surprisingly, Tan Sitong did not show annoyance, and even seemed very calm! Looking at Tang Haoran, this will appreciate him even more, what he appreciates is his temperament, if he is someone else, how can he have so many concerns.

"But Ziran knows that he won't do this way!"

"Why is that?"

Tang Haoran looked at Tan Sitong in surprise, couldn't the others see the silver in the tobacco monopoly?

"The monopoly of tobacco and soil, its benefits are far greater than you and I imagine, Ziran, and because of this, it is difficult to implement this policy! The Governor of Huguang is handsome! If you change to someone else, you will naturally have a lot of worries, and you want to do it but don't dare to do it. ”

Although he is not an official in the court, Tan Sitong still understands officialdom, and naturally understands that Zhang Zhidong is not like a scholar as an official, and his tyrannical reputation is even now, in Shanxi, does it have the courage to change to others?

"Furthermore, if someone else presides over the smoking ban, can they ban smoking? Ziran, you said that their eyes are all silver, if you get millions of taels of tobacco in Hubei, and he does this policy, it is only hundreds of thousands of taels a year, what should he do? So, Ziran, you don't have to be angry about it. Just do a good job of smoking ban in Hubei! ”

Tan Sitong's words made Tang Haoran nod again and again, it didn't seem reasonable at first hearing, but after careful analysis, it was true, other people don't necessarily have Zhang Zhidong's courage, dare to ban smoking completely, even if they have Zhang Zhidong's courage, the people who go to do things only see silver, he will ban it for silver, and he will also do it for Yinzichi, and the latter is the most likely because silver is personal at that time. In this case, what is the difference between it and the current ban?

"Ziran, as long as you do a good job of banning smoking in Hubei, this smoking ban bureau will be extended to Hunan and implemented in Huguang, if Huguang is effective, and other provinces are also effective, but the effect is not as good as Hubei, naturally some people will ask, why Huguang can succeed, but other provinces can't?"

Tan Sitong looked at Tang Haoran with some envy in his eyes, he was still one year younger than himself, but he had already achieved this big thing, once the smoking ban was completed, he would naturally achieve the three immortal things of "making words, making meritorious contributions, and establishing virtues".

"Why can Huguang succeed, but he can't?"

Tan Sitong's rhetorical question made Tang Haoran's heart move, when the time comes, someone will definitely ask, and what will others bring if they ask? However, Tang Haoran didn't continue to think about this question, but looked at Tan Sitong and asked rhetorically!

"Brother Resurrection, do you still need to ask the previous question?"

After turning around, Tang Haoran still kicked the question back to Tan Sitong, and after that, he picked up the teacup on the table, and when the tea went into his throat, he closed his eyes and thought about the historical information about Tan Sitong in his mind. But in essence, he was different from Kang Youwei, Tan Sitong supported the Restoration, but he was absolutely unwilling to maintain the rule of the Manchus, what he did was to overthrow the rule of the Manchus, and even his travels around to make friends with people from all walks of life were also determined to oppose the Qing.

At this point, he and Tan Sitong are in common, thinking that Tan Si and his father are the governors of Hubei, Tang Haoran's mind is moved, if he is taken over, wouldn't it be more convenient to act in Hubei?

"This ...... Today's situation of the dynasty is still unconscious by the addiction of officials, scholars, and people: officials are corrupt and pervert the law and abuse the people; Scholars talk about integrity and arrogance; The people are ignorant and superstitious, blindly xenophobic. ”

Tan Sitong frowned, and traveled to various provinces for five years, making it clear to him that changing the law and reforming was the only choice for the country to become rich and strong, but on the other hand, he also knew the reality of the dynasty.

"So what?"

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Tang Haoran's eyes looked directly at Tan Sitong, if it weren't for Tan Sitong's previous thoughts, maybe he would still be immersed in his personal moral struggle, and because of this, he realized that just like Zhang Zhidong, he also needs someone around him to give advice, and there is no more suitable person than Tan Sitong, not to mention his connections in Huguang, just that anti-Qing thought, it is extremely rare.

Historically, the reformers led by Kang Liang always took Tan Sitong's death as their own eyes, but covered up the fact that they were anti-Qing and strongly hated Manchurian, after Tan Sitong was killed, many of his friends were influenced by him to devote themselves to the anti-Qing cause, and his own family, Tang Caichang, who was also called "Liuyang Shuangjie", was one of them, and even the big sword Wang Wu was also the same.

"Changing the law and renewing is the trend of Dahua and the nourishment of the atmosphere, and it is not the observance of the text that can be reversed because of the old! If we want to reverse this change that has not been seen for 3,000 years, the only way to do it is to effectively enforce Japan's law and carry out reform! ”

"Then, why did Japan resolutely change the law and reform only ten years after the founding of the country, and still did not think about the change and reform fifty years after the founding of the country?"

"This ......"

In Tan Sitong's surprise, Tang Haoran continued to ask.

"Is it difficult for officials, soldiers, and people to be unconscious?"

Why?

In the face of Tang Haoran's question, Tan Sitong's mind had countless questions, but in the end, all the questions were still drawn together and raised his head, he looked at Tang Haoran for a while before shaking his head and sighing.

"In today's situation, the law does not change, and the country has no reason to survive; And if it is necessary to change the law, the authorities can no longer rely on ......"

When Tan Sitong said this, he was hesitant again and again in his heart, after all, these words were said to be "criticizing the court" at best, and "great rebellion" at worst, although he had no loyalty to the Manchu Dynasty, but these words were limited to occasional nagging between acquaintances and friends. Today, I just met Tang Haoran for the first time, how can I believe it all, not to mention that Tang Haoran has just been reused, but when his words fell, he heard a burst of laughter, which made Tan Si's heart tighten, and when he looked up at Tang Haoran, he saw him smile, and then a burst of words like thunder came into his ears.

"Aixinjue Luo entered China as a foreign race, he is not the king of China, and he doesn't ask about China! When the time comes for the invasion of the West, we only need to measure China's material resources and form the favor of friends, so why do we need to change the law? Moreover, in the realm of today's China, its sin is in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and according to its law, isn't it just playing the piano to the cow! ”

Tang Haoran's words echoed in Tan Sitong's mind like thunder, and they kept rolling in his mind like thunder......
