Chapter 768 Korean Storm: The pores of imperialism begin to ooze a bloody stench

"Two classes of high men are vying for this thing...... I'm so stupid, extraordinary, this hibiscus ointment is extraordinary! ”

Fan Sihai is an old fox, and he showed the details of the other party in a few words, his four boxes of hibiscus paste are "new products", which adjusted the taste and came with a smoking set, which was particularly liked by the nobles of the two classes, and soon became popular in Jeolla.

Thinking back on his "Jiangnan experience", Fan Sihai suddenly realized that the real extraordinary instrument is something that can bring huge profits to local middlemen, for example, the rapid expansion of Yinghua Salt Industry in Jiangnan relies on leaving huge profits for the Shang Dynasty.

The door of the country has always been opened by the outside and the outside, and external forces alone are not enough. North Korean businessmen and high-ranking officials of the sailors saw the amazing profits of hibiscus ointment, and even gave their daughters away, just to climb his source.

"Hibiscus Balm...... It's opium, a drug that is strictly forbidden in the country, and if it is found, it will be a big trouble. ”

Fan Liuxi is now a good child, and he has a special sense of law, and he worriedly persuaded his father, who was about to laugh.

"Hmm...... Yes, go to the company's lawyer and take a closer look at the laws of the country. ”

Fan Sihai laughed, and he was also a little awe-inspiring. Before, I just piggybacked on this thing as a gift, but if I want to use it as my main business, I have to see if it's illegal. has the experience of the turmoil in Fujian and Guangdong earlier, and the Yinghua is now condensing the atmosphere of respecting the law, Fan Sihai does not dare to run rampant.

"In the ninth year of the Holy Dao, the imperial court issued the "Anti-Drug Order", which is said to be being revised, and next year it will be changed to the "Anti-Drug Law". Judging from the existing provisions of the Anti-Narcotics Order, it is a felony to grow opium poppy in the country without a medical licence, and to manufacture and sell opium poppy products in the country! Smoking poppy products, whether it is tobacco powder or hibiscus, those who have meritorious names are stripped of their fame, those who have public office are expelled from public office, and they are also sent to the Temple of Heaven and the drug rehabilitation centers run by all parties. ”

The company's specially appointed lawyer is well aware of the relevant laws and regulations, and in summary, Yinghua has a very strict control over opium, and it is not allowed to grow, sell or smoke opium in the country, except for certain medical supplies. In Fujian, Chaoshan, Guangdong, and even Luzon, there were many people who smoked opium, and the "Anti-Narcotics Order" was also an achievement of the Eastern Yuan in the nine years of the Holy Dao.

The lawyer said again: "General Director, the poppy orchards of the Nanyang Company are the property of the natives in Burma and Siam, at least in name, and we are selling to North Korea, which is not related to our own country, so we ......."

The corners of Fan Sihai's mouth curled: "So, no matter how we sell it, it's all legal." ”

Fan Liuxi still couldn't bear it: "Opium hurts people after all, and North Koreans are also people, is it harmful for us to do this?" ”

Fan Sihai glanced at his son, and then said: "The sailor is going to send his daughter over, how about you take it as a wife?" ”

Fan Liuxi said angrily: "Dad, that's a North Korean woman!" ”

Fan Sihai shrugged: "That's right, North Koreans are outsiders after all, don't forget, we are in China, there is a difference between inside and outside." If you don't harm the countrymen, you are yin, outsiders...... Who cares if they live or die. ”

Fan Liuxi's eyes rolled around, and he was also relieved.

In June, Qinghai Naadam was convened, and Xue Xue, who participated in the political affairs of the political hall, went to Xining in person to meet the Qinghai Mongolian ministries to implement the "new system of Anglo-Chinese internal domain", redivide the territory for the ministries, and grant the posts of Zasak to each ministry. At the same time, he will have an alliance with Gardance to discuss the plan of attacking Wusu Yalitai.

The "new system of internal domain" established by Yinghua no longer regarded all ethnic groups in the country as Yi people, but "Chinese" with the Han family. As a result, the Ming and Qing dynasties abandoned the system of dividing large and small Tusi and princes, and although the Huguang, southwest and northwest ethnic groups still live in Tusi, Tuzhou and Qimeng systems, the internal mechanism has been different. Qinghai was thus changed into a province under the direct jurisdiction of the British and Chinese administration.

The issue of Us-Tibet, which was temporarily shelved due to conspiracy with the Dzungars to Wusu Yalitai, is still nominally still under the rule of the Manchus. But just as the Shan State and Kachin in northern Myanmar have been designated as Bagan, and Funan has become a corporate trusteeship, the prospect of Uszang being under direct Anglo-Chinese rule is no longer out of reach. …,

In the same month, Jia Hao, who was temporarily transferred to Jiaozhi, led his troops through Kunlun Pass and began to suppress the rebellion of Jiaozhi Zhenggang. Zheng Zheng, the former king of Andu, died of illness in Huangpu at the beginning of the year, and his son Zheng Gang infiltrated the area of Taiyuan and Guangning in Jiaozhi, instigated the miners of the coal mine to rebel, gathered a crowd of 300,000, and swept through many provinces and regions north of Jiaozhi, seriously threatening the Jiaozhi coal industry.

The hearts of the people in Jiaozhi were in turmoil, and the Confucian scholars were helpless except for writing articles asking for help from the Celestial Empire. After Jia Hao entered Jiaozhi, the situation suddenly changed, and even half of the thieves gathered by Zheng Gang were dispersed, and the chaos should be completely pacified within the year.

But at this time, the Cochin Shilin became active, divided into several parties and fought endlessly. There are those who secretly beg the Li clan to expel the Yinghua and restore the Dayue Heshan Restoration Party, and there are those who call for Jiaozhi to be merged into the Anglo-Chinese mainland. The Donglin Party, which requires to maintain the status quo and stabilize the people's livelihood, is still the mainstream of the Jiaozhi Confucian scholars, of course, this Donglin Party is named after the lecture Lin Qing in the east of Thang Long Mansion to talk about national politics, not the Donglin Party of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jiaozhi people call this Donglin Party ...... Coal Party.

In addition to these two key points, the attention of a country was also involved in the battle for the fixed capital, the imperial examination and the election of the academy, which continued until October, and was once again stirred up by the merger of the Jiaozhi people.

A group of people believe that Jiaozhi is the homeland of the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, and since Jiaozhi people seek to attach themselves, they should conform to the people's hearts and "recover" Jiaozhi. The other group of people believes that most of the Jiaozhi people are Yue people, so why should they also enjoy the treatment of Chinese people, unless all the Yue people are driven to Quang Nam, they will never agree. The neutral faction said that Jiangnan was initially decided, and the country still had no spare strength to take care of Jiaozhi, so it would put aside the dispute and develop it together.

The topic of Jiaozhi has made a lot of noise, and not many people have paid attention to North Korea in the east. Even Huanyu Bao, which claims to "open its eyes to the world" and specializes in reporting on foreign situations, has only a few shallow pieces of news about the DPRK, saying that the DPRK's smuggling and maritime trade is booming, and the DPRK's three naval divisions have been replaced by two in succession, and they are still unable to curb the trend of smuggling.

In the industrial and commercial newspapers, there were more and more advertisements for high-paying craftsmen and seasoning masters who were hired by Nanyang Company's plantations in Siam, Burma and Bangladesh.

Shipyards began to receive strange orders to build faster sailing ships based on the Sea Carp, "preferably from the West to Japan in two or three days," and the customer demanded.

This requirement is impossible to achieve, but for the Yinghua shipyard, which has already figured out the principle of a fast ship on the sea carp ship, it is not too difficult to build a sailboat that is faster than the sea carp ship.

In October, Korean ginseng gradually became popular in the country, the three banks of Anglo-Chinese, Gangnam and Fuxing opened branches in Nagasaki, Japan, and Korean rice, gold, silver and copper and other minerals also entered the resale catalogue of Anglo-Chinese maritime merchants.

In mid-October, the newspaper published a piece of news that finally caught some people's attention.

Nian Qianyao's second son married the North Korean lord as his wife!

"Nian Qianyao's wolf ambition is to annex North Korea!"

"How can we let that guy get away with it? North Korea is a loyal vassal of our China, and we must not sit idly by and watch it be plagued by thieves! ”

"Without North Korea, can I Yinghua still claim to be Huaxia Zhengshuo?"

Ordinary readers began to make a fuss, especially those who had read the book "Huaxia Nine Suits" written by Chen Run, the Siamese general of the Tongshi Museum, and the members of the Royal Dao Society, who were determined to make the Yinghua King Dao Puze Huanyu, even went to the Temple of Heaven to hang a sign to show affection.

The spokesman of the government hall came forward to persuade him, and the government hall counselor said sincerely: "The imperial court has never forgotten the DPRK, although there is no official exchange, but there are full exchanges between the people, and I believe that in the near future, the door of harmony and friendship between the two sides will be opened......

In the city of Jeolla-doraju, North Korea, Lee Kwang-sa, a leader in civilian clothes, paraded through the streets of the city under the escort of his attendants.

But one or two miles of the street, you can see more than a dozen new halls with pipe signs, the door of the museum is full of people, the footsteps of entering the door are hurried, the face seems to be about to be about to run the and urine of the panic, the legs of the door are floating, the eyes are fluttering, as if they have just traveled to the fairy mountain court.

These people are all well-dressed, and they are all from two classes. Li Guangzuo leaned to the door, and he could hear the people who had just gone out yawning and nagging.

"This restaurant is good, the price is much cheaper, and the taste is very pure, so I haven't changed my mind yet."

"It's still Hong Mu who keeps his knowledge and opens the way for Chinese businessmen, and the entire Fushou Museum in Luozhou uses this batch of new goods."

"We eat tail goods, we can enjoy it like this, and those adults should enjoy it like a fairy."

"If you want to be able to stay at home and eat your first food, you will have nothing to ask for in this life."

"Be content, eat a pot of tail goods a day, and most of the month's material money will go in, what can you do with the rest of the money?"

"If you have food to eat, you have Fushou paste to eat, what else do you ask for?"

"What are you afraid of if you don't have money? Just find a little reason to catch it on the Chinese untouchables. ”

These people were obviously officials in the city, and Li Guangzuo's face was pale, but he couldn't hold back.

He entered the restaurant with a few entourage, and after a while, he retreated in embarrassment, leaned on the corner, and threw up.

"My lord, that's how it started at the beginning, survive this time or two, and then you can taste the happiness of the gods......"

The guy at the smoke hall at the door was still comforting, Li Guangzuo vomited several times, and was about to scold, when he jumped out of the restaurant alone and pounced straight up, shocking Li Guangzuo and his entourage all numb, all thinking that this person was an assassin sent by a political enemy.

"Money bags! I want a money bag! If you don't have money, you can't eat Fushou ointment, money ...... Money! ”

The man's eyes were red, his pupils dilated, as if he had lost his mind from some kind of torture.

The entourage hurriedly stopped the man, punched and kicked, and the man rolled on the ground, not feeling any pain at all, so he straightened his throat and shouted "money" and "ointment" or something.

In the Luozhou Shepherd's Mansion, Li Guangzuo's courtroom was escorted and roared: "It's not just that! Sell houses, sell fields, sell official bodies, and even sell wives and children, just to be able to eat that blessing and longevity ointment! The people who ate it were all like evil spirits! There is one city in Luozhou, and there are two classes of people, five or six out of ten are like this! Such harmful things, you actually collude with Chinese businessmen and allow them to spread throughout the country!? Are you still human!? ”

As if his mind had collapsed, his eyes were out of focus, and he laughed: "Yes, yes, Naju, Jeonju, Jeolla Dao, no, Sandao has sunk to hell, hell-!" ”

Li Guangzuo grabbed him by the collar and shouted: "When I heard this news in the capital, I thought it was fake, at most it was an exaggeration, but I didn't expect that the truth was ten times more terrible than the news!" Tell me, who is so capable? Who made me addicted to drugs in just a few months? Who is so capable of sending so many hibiscus...... Or is it called the poison of Fushou ointment!? ”

Mu Shou was still laughing: "It's you, it's me, it's all of us, who else but us, hehe...... Haha......"

"Don't play stupid, bastard!"

Li Guangzuo fell down and choked on the sword and unsheathed.

"Who!? Who exactly is behind it!? You are a promising person of our Shaolun faction, and I personally signed the order to appoint you as the pastor of Luozhou, you are not the kind of person who will be crushed by coercion and temptation! I believe you, and you should also tell me who opened the country, who is colluding with Chinese businessmen, and who is tricking the North Koreans into sucking this terrible poison!? ”

Mu Shou's eyes seemed to clear for a moment, and then cloudy again: "Who else...... Haha, everyone, everyone is guilty! ”…,

Lose your marbles...... This guy is hopeless......

Li Guangzuo gritted his teeth and waved his hand to drag the entourage down and behead this person, he needed a head to give the king a minimum explanation.

"As I said, it's all the people - the leader, you can't fight, you have to deal with everyone!"

When Mu Shou was dragged down, he suddenly shouted loudly, but for Li Guangzuo, this was even more crazy.

On the sea surface of Jeju Island, Fan Liuxi handed a list to a North Korean general with disgust, the man nodded and bowed, looking extremely flattering, what made Fan Liuxi disgusted was not this, but the man's daughter, who was taken in as a concubine by himself.

"Li Guangzuo came to Luozhou, it is estimated that he wants to ban smoking, and after this trip, I am afraid it will be cut off for a while."

Fan Liuxi's North Korean father-in-law, Hong Nancheng, accepted the bill of goods and said regretfully.

"Broken? If you really want to break it, it's not us who loses. You tell the top businessmen below that it doesn't matter if Li Guangzuo is just pretending, if he wants to come to the real thing, the participating banks and banks will have to ask them to force debts. ”

Fan Liuxi's tone was cold, but his father-in-law didn't care, he was frightened by these words.

"Everyone is already in the same boat, force that Li Guangzuo to bow his head, and the business can go on in the future, otherwise...... Life and death are always in the hands of your court, who knows what tomorrow will be? ”

Fan Liuxi's words made Hong Nancheng's eyes light up, but they dimmed again.

"He's the kind of person, bribery doesn't work very well, but it will provoke him to be tough."

Fan Sihai's voice sounded, colder and harder than Fan Liuxi: "Hard to come? It's okay, just let him harden up and see who is the egg and who is the stone. ”
