The Russian ambassador to China did not pay much attention to the fact that the Huaxia government did not want them to return the concession, after all, the domestic order did not say that it should be returned to Huaxia, and he himself had his own property in the concession, so not returning the concession was exactly what he wanted.

After signing the treaty with the British, Qin Yu has been campaigning for the issue of the concession, and just as he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he received good news that the drug research for quitting opium was successful and even the clinical trial was very successful.

In order to confirm the news, Qin Yu also personally went to the research institute, this research institute was made by him when he established the East China government, he had specialized in opium and heroin in his previous life, although he knew about the drugs to quit them, but he didn't pay much attention to them, and then he gathered a lot of Chinese and Western medicine according to the little things he remembered to study, and in almost a year, they researched methadone and perfected the smoking cessation pill.

Qin Yu learned a lot about the history of opium in China in his previous life, so he hated opium very much and always wanted to stop smoking.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were two major smoking bans, one was Lin Zexu's Humen gunsmoke, and the other was a smoking ban after the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty.

After Lin Zexu banned smoking, although the Qing government implemented the ban on smoking, the area of opium poppy cultivation in the southwestern provinces below did increase, and later the smoking ban was opened, and some areas suitable for growing opium changed to poppy cultivation in pursuit of huge profits, and many fertile "raw grain soil" were squeezed out, and after a large amount of local tobacco poured into the market, the price of opium fell, which led to an exponential increase in the number of smokers. According to statistics in 1906, nearly 18 million mu of opium poppy were sown in the country, accounting for 1.5 percent of the country's total cultivated land at that time, and in some areas, such as Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, the area under opium poppy cultivation accounted for more than 8 percent of the total arable land. The prosperity of the opium economy and the large number of addicts are the cause and effect of each other, the national opium production was about 58 million catties, and the opium addicts exceeded 20 million, and in some opium poppy-growing areas, because opium is very cheap, so that there are many smokers, such as Sichuan, Gansu and other places, nearly half or even more than three-quarters of the men smoke opium, and there are many women. In some places, the most important detail to know when people discuss marriage is how many smoking guns are in the family!

In the mid-19th century, many local officials absurdly used domestically produced opium to counter foreign opium, and even encouraged the people to grow opium poppy in order to increase fiscal revenue.

After the New Deal at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government issued a "ban on smoking" under the rising call for a ban on smoking in China, declaring that "within ten years, the harm of foreign and local medicines will be eliminated", and then reached an agreement with the United Kingdom, starting in 1907, Britain promised to reduce the amount of opium imported into China by 10% every year, and if the Qing government made significant progress in the next three years of anti-smoking results, Britain would continue to reduce imports (if there was no progress, China would have to pay three times the previous losses). On January 29, 1911, the Qing government completely banned opium cultivation and opium imports, and then the British finally agreed to continue to reduce opium exports under the pressure of domestic and foreign public opinion, and completely stopped the opium trade with China in 1917.

During the period from the Wuchang Revolution to the unification of the Guannai provinces by the Chinese government, many warlords began to cultivate opium poppies in large quantities in order to raise military expenses and accumulate wealth, among which Sichuan and Guizhou in the southwest and Gansu and Shaanxi in the northwest were the most severe, and Yunnan also had a large number of opium poppies. The Chinese government has only accepted these provinces for a few months, and some time ago it has been consolidating its rule over the provinces, pacifying the people, eliminating bandits, and so on, but it has not yet attacked opium.

Now that he has developed an effective drug to quit opium, Qin Yu began to carry out the anti-smoking campaign, his purpose is to basically eliminate the opium in China within three years, and now the research institute has entered the final stage of opium purification, once he succeeds, he can use his own way to treat others, to harm foreigners, which can also get a lot of money.

On December 12, 1912, the Chinese government promulgated the "General Decree on Strictly Prohibiting Opium Tobacco and Drugs", prohibiting the cultivation of opium poppy, smoking and selling opium throughout the country, confiscating opium and opium poppy, and compulsory drug rehabilitation for opium smoking, and the trade of opium is regarded as a crime, and those who are severely punished with death. In areas where opium is grown on a large scale, in order to avoid famine caused by a sudden ban on planting, government departments at all levels must issue a part of the grain to provide relief, and the premise of relief is that the opium growers hand over the opium and have real difficulties in their lives.

Government departments at all levels crack down on those who make a living from drugs on the manufacturing, processing, transportation, and sales lines, prohibit the manufacture and sale of opium and its variants, and all drug dealers turn themselves in to the local police department within 10 days after the promulgation of the measures to hand over all opium drug stocks. All tobacco shops that sold opium were banned, the owners of tobacco houses surrendered their inventory of tobacco equipment to the police department, all the assets of the tobacco houses were confiscated, and appropriate fines were imposed in accordance with legal procedures; The owners and staff of land and water transportation companies have the responsibility to assist the government in the investigation and prosecution of drug offenders, and severely punish those who use their profession to sell cigarettes for drug dealers or sell cigarettes on their own.

It also stipulates that governments at all levels in the southwest and northwest should follow up on the destruction of narcotics and the rehabilitation of drug addicts after the seizure of tobacco and narcotics, and that governments at all levels must not purchase opium and must not allow taxpayers to use opium to offset their taxes. All seized opium drugs shall be counted by the county and municipal governments in conjunction with the anti-narcotics departments, destroyed in public, and shall not be concealed or resold; Drug addicts take the initiative to register at the local police station, and rural people register with the local government to receive unified drug rehabilitation; Health organs at all levels in the southwest and northwest are responsible for allocating drugs for drug treatment and publicizing drug prescriptions, and county-level governments are responsible for setting up drug treatment centers.

Qin Yu also urgently convened a meeting to discuss, and finally after soliciting the opinions of various departments and polling the citizens of Nanjing, he promulgated the "Provisional Anti-Drug Law of the Chinese Republic", which stipulated that the trade in opium and its mutated drugs was regarded as a crime, and all those who violated this law were sentenced to a minimum of ten years in prison, the maximum death penalty, and the death penalty for drug manufacturing and trafficking, which was officially implemented on December 12, 1912.

In addition, on this day, the Chinese government also directly announced that from this day onwards, all countries will be completely banned from selling opium and its mutated drugs in China, and that businessmen who sell drugs in China will leave the territory of China with drugs within five days, otherwise they will all act in accordance with the laws of China.

On December 12, 1912, the police were dispatched throughout China, and in the southwest and northwest regions, the military and police were jointly dispatched, and the tobacco houses in various places were destroyed, a large number of smokers were forcibly arrested and taken to the drug rehabilitation centers that had been prepared for a long time, and countless opium poppies were destroyed. In the course of the operation, many people tried to resist, but they were invariably not forcibly subdued, and when the opium poppy was destroyed, it was even opposed by the entire village, but it was only under the local government's propaganda and the distribution of relief food that they gradually gave up resistance.

In 10 days, more than 5 million catties of opium were confiscated across the country, and more than 7 million people were forcibly arrested and sent to drug rehabilitation centers.

Many foreign opium dealers were caught and confiscated because they did not leave China as scheduled, and more than 500 foreign traders were arrested, of which Britain, France, Japan, and Russia were the most, followed by the United States and Italy. Just after Huaxia arrested people, the ambassadors of various countries urgently contacted the country for consultation, and the families or forces of merchants who can sell opium in China generally have some strength in various countries, and Huaxia has caught so many at once, and all countries have begun to ask Huaxia to hand over these people, but Huaxia is very strong and does not pay.

When the countries saw that Huaxia would not release them, they united to put pressure on Huaxia, and Huaxia released these people as a last resort, but they had to pay huge fines and confiscate opium, disqualify them from entering Huaxia, and solemnly inform the countries that they would not make an example, and also warned the citizens of various countries in China to abide by the laws of Huaxia and that they would be tried according to the laws of Huaxia next time.
