"Yes! Heart disease is difficult to treat! ”

Tang Haoran responded with a melancholy expression.

Heart disease is difficult to treat, isn't this the truth, why do you get sick? If it weren't for the greed of those people, how could they have gotten this heart disease, and if they hadn't known that the local to central government in the late Qing Dynasty had quenched their thirst and regarded the tobacco tax as a heavy tax for the country, how could they not afford to be sick?

"Heart disease is difficult to treat, but it is not incurable."

Sang Zhiping stared at Tang Haoran and said calmly.

"Your sickness is a sickness of the heart caused by your will. If you get good medicine, all sorrows will be relieved. ”

Sang Zhiping's words made Tang Haoran smile bitterly, looked at him and sighed.

"What medicine in this world can cure me?"

"You are sick, there is no smoking outside!"

Spit out a sentence without hurrying, Sang Zhiping stared at Tang Haoran with his eyes.

"It's nothing more than the fear that everyone will be tempted by profit, impose a ban on smoking, and do it to accumulate wealth, and disaster will arise!"

calmly pointed out the cause of Tang Haoran's illness, and Sang Zhiping asked rhetorically,

"If that's the case, then why did you come up with this idea in the first place!"

"This ......"

Even though there are thousands of reasons in his heart, but when the words come to his mouth, Tang Haoran still understands that those reasons are too far-fetched, are they just impulsive?

"In the next moment, when I think of it, I regret it!"

Catching Sang Zhiping's words, Tang Haoran closed his eyes with a painful expression, seeing his look, a subtle smile appeared at the corner of Sang Zhiping's eyes.

"If you are repentant, why not repent?"

"How to repent? Is it okay to ask Xiang Shuai to be non-smoking? Now, can I still stop it? ”

If he could stop it, how could he be ill, and even in Tang Haoran's opinion, not only were the people in the shogunate blinded by the white money, but even Zhang Zhidong himself was afraid that he would fall into the eyes of money, and when the time was ripe, he would promote this matter, after all, the big things he wanted to achieve were too powerful.

However, now Xiangtao still has some determination, and this concentration depends on knowing the pros and cons of this matter, if it is a non-person, this smoking ban may not only be in name only, but may also become a handle for political enemies to attack, so he will let himself come to Tang Haoran to explore his thoughts, and Sang Zhiping himself also wants to see what kind of backhand Tang Haoran has left, seeing that he is disheartened, he is reluctant at the moment.

"If you know this is the case, why did you bother in the first place?"

Sang Zhiping then sneered again.

"You only talk about it for a while, but you don't care about the worries afterwards, you do things so improperly, how can you be a curtain for others!"

"Mr. Sang, instead of ignoring the worries of the aftermath, he is quick to speak!"

was ridiculed like this, although he knew that he was telling the truth, Tang Haoran couldn't help but defend himself.

"What worries me about others is that if others are in charge of the ban on smoking, I am afraid that there will be endless harm, if it is ......"

"Oh!"

Glancing at Tang Haoran, Sang Zhiping continued to sneer.

"Do you want to say that if you are in charge of this matter, you will not lose your original intention, you Tang Ziran What can you do, others are for money, but in your hands it is a ban on smoking."

Although he said this, Sang Zhiping's heart breathed a sigh of relief, this time he has not seen those friends of the curtain you a line, his words and the harm of tobacco and poison are all added to Tang Haoran's "gradual ban", although each line seems to worry about the country and the people, it can be tried, but Sang Zhiping knows why those people handed those lines, if the lines are adopted by Xiangtao, it must be the general office of the anti-smoking office, just as the lines are said, what they want is nothing more than silver and white goods.

It is precisely because of this that he will look at Zhang Xiangtao with anxiety every day in the study repeatedly looking at those arrays, familiar with his temper, he knows that Xiangtao is moving, not only does not need to worry about the opposition of the court, but also can get the reputation of the ban on smoking, and can take the benefits of the ban on smoking, this kind of good thing, who will miss it?

It's just a kick at the end of the door, this kick can be kicked by someone else, or it can be kicked by Tang Haoran in front of him, if it is replaced by someone else, Sang Zhiping can't imagine what kind of operation this smoking ban will become, but Tang Haoran's illness makes him see his thoughts, at least this person's mind is different from others.

"I ......"

opened his mouth, but Tang Haoran did not continue to explain, seeing that he had no intention of explaining, Sang Zhiping asked.

"On that day, you mentioned that anyone who sells or provides foreign medicine cigarettes and smoking utensils without a permit is a serious offender and will be severely punished, and there will be no forgiveness for killing, and if he can't be killed, how should he be dealt with......

In the house that day, Tang Haoran only made everyone gasp with a sigh of forgiveness, this ruthlessness, even Lin Zexu, who was banned from smoking in Guangzhou back then, was out of reach.

"Twenty years of hard labor, thrown into the coal mines, iron mines, even if they don't die, let them live better than die!"

"If someone sells foreign medicine, what should be done?"

"Twenty years of hard labor, the foreign medicine will be confiscated at one rate, the whistleblower will be exempted, and the confiscated drug will be checked!"

"How to prohibit contractors from selling private land?"

"Revoke its monopoly rights, and no longer be involved in this business for generations, and be sentenced to hard labor, and the monopoly dealer shall pay a deposit, and thirty percent shall be confiscated, and seventy percent shall be returned to the whistleblower, and if the whistleblower meets the conditions, he may also inherit the monopoly right......"

Sang Zhiping didn't give Tang Haoran time to think about it at all, but just asked one after another about the loopholes he saw in the anti-smoking policy, and Tang Haoran's answer was not only unexpected by him, but what was unexpected was Tang Haoran's means, which was completely tempting and profitable, but it was expected, for the smoking ban, he really had already become a belly.

Thinking of the "monopoly" formulated by other people with reference to salt merchants and contractors, Sang Zhiping couldn't help but smile dumbly, and suddenly, he looked at Tang Haoran and said.

"Ziran, since you have already become a belly in your chest, why don't you go up to Xiangshuai, but cherish yourself with a broom, but lament here in vain!"

"Ahh

Looking at Sang Zhiping in surprise, Tang Haoran couldn't help but be surprised, he, what does this mean?

When he answered Sang Zhiping before, Tang Haoran didn't think about it at all, just asked and answered, but now Sang Zhiping let himself go into the array, could it be that Zhang Zhidong sent him to test himself?

"Mr. Sang, in the beginning of the next stage, how can such an important position be held in the next place?"

"Ziran, don't be modest! Your book "Tai Xice", which one in the world doesn't know? I heard that together with Lord Li and others in Tianjin, they also admire you very much, and since you raised this matter, you should be responsible. ”

After a pause in his words, Sang Zhiping's expression became stern, and his eyes looked at Tang Haoran and said.

"Besides, who wants to do this, besides you, who wants to ban smoking?"

"This ......"

After hesitating for a moment, knowing that what Sang Zhiping said was the truth, Tang Haoran frowned and shook his head.

"It's not that I don't want to do it, but I don't dare to do it!"

"Don't you dare?"

Zhang Zhidong was suddenly stunned by the words brought by Sang Zhiping.

"What does he Tang Ziran dare not do? In this Huguang, with my support, can you dare to do it? ”

"Brother Xiangtao, what he's afraid of is you!"

Sang Zhiping's words turned out to be out of nowhere, and Zhang Zhidong was full of confusion.

"What do you mean by that? Ziran is afraid of me, what are he afraid of me? ”

If Tang Haoran was in the mansion now, maybe Zhang Zhidong would immediately take him over, grab him and ask him what he was afraid of? I have to entrust him with a heavy difference, which is good, I don't feel the grace of the encounter, but I am afraid of myself.

"What he is afraid of is Brother Xiangtao's kindness to him!"

Sang Zhiping smiled, then looked at Zhang Zhidong and said:

Ziran said, this smoking ban is related to China's 100-year plan, "the line to monopoly, to implement gradually" is a last resort, monopoly benefits only for a while, not a lifetime, the smoking ban is its original intention, and the monopoly, need to set up thousands of large and small monopolies, when the time comes, if Brother Xiangtao you point to someone and say, let him be a monopoly, do you say he refuses, or should? In love, Brother Xiangtao has the grace of knowing him, and in the public, he naturally has to act impartially, and those who are not qualified must not be given monopoly rights. ”

As soon as Sang Zhiping said this, Zhang Zhidong suddenly came to his senses.

"You mean, that kid is afraid that when he does things by himself, I, Zhang, will point fingers on the side?"

Zhang Zhidong was a little unhappy in his tone, Tang Haoran was talented, indeed talented, a copy of "Tai Xice" not only shocked the government and the opposition, but also shocked the foreigners, and even Prince Alcohol also sent a telegram saying that the ministers of various countries praised Tang Haoran in front of him, intending to get acquainted with him, and also revealed that the emperor also read the book and favored it, and even together with the Queen Mother, he also felt that this person "has a bit of talent". The court's reward for a positive three-grade top is indispensable for him.

Although he is indeed talented, but there are also some talents and arrogance, before he asked him to run the shipping bureau, he wanted to ask the law for three chapters, not allowing himself and the government to interfere in the affairs of the shipping bureau, and now let him preside over the ban on smoking, and the result is the same.

"Could it be that he wants to make an agreement with me for three chapters?"

"Xiangtao, why do you want to be Ziran instead of others about this smoking ban?"

Although he saw that Zhang Zhidong was secretly dissatisfied, Sang Zhiping shook his head and did not speak for Tang Haoran.

"This ......"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhidong let out a long sigh.

"The benefits of smoking ban are more than millions a year, and the abundance of oil and water during this period is absolutely beyond the refusal of ordinary people!"

Qianli is an official only for money, even if he is a leader of the clear stream, he once agreed with Sang Zhiping that he is not a corrupt official, but this official is getting bigger and bigger, and the silver does not need to be collected, but ...... Are you really a clean official?

"Don't say it's Brother Xiangtao, even Tang Haoran himself, he doesn't think he can resist."

"What!"

Zhang Zhidong couldn't help but be startled, looked at Sang Zhiping and asked anxiously.

"That's what he said!"

"He said it himself in front of me, that's why he wants to cut off his greed, and he wants to cut off his greed, but he is afraid that you will make him unable to cut it! That's why he's afraid of you! ”

With his eyes slightly open, Zhang Zhidong was a little unbelieving at first, but after pondering for a long time, he looked at Sang Zhiping and sighed.

"This Tang Ziran, it's really not simple!"

(There is a change in the evening, it is not easy to get new books, ask for recommendations, ask for collections)
