Chapter 171: Opium

Mrs. Li smiled happily and said, "It's good that Mrs. Luo likes it, this tea has a story." ”

Yun Rong looked curious: "What story?" ”

"This tea was discovered not long ago, and it is also our family's master's heart, otherwise, this tea tree can be destroyed, this tea looks no different from ordinary tea trees, so this tea tree is sold by a villager when it is regarded as an ordinary tea tree, and the villagers do not know what the situation of this tea tree is, so it is sold as an ordinary tea tree.

Coincidentally, when I was selling, I met a person who collected rent on the street, and the tone of the rent collector was not good, saying that the villager had touched the commercial land and needed to give silver, so the villager wanted to give silver in order to sell a tea tree, and naturally quit.

So he said that he would not sell it, but the person who collected the rent did not give up, and said that he would not let him go if he did not give the silver, and said that he would let people pick up his tea tree, and said that if he did not give the silver, he would smash the tea tree first.

Our master appeared at this time, he came to inspect the shop at home, the shop was opposite the villager stall, he saw such a scene as soon as he went out, walked in to see, wanted to ask what the situation was, don't delay his business, and then saw the tea tree.

My grandfather worked as a tea merchant in his early years, and he had a lot of research on tea, although the tea tree looked like an ordinary tea tree, but the leaves were slightly different, and the roots of the tea tree were also a little different, so our master thought about whether this would be a new tea tree.

After buying it, I studied it carefully, and found that it was indeed a new tea tree, so I sent someone to find the villagers who buried the tea trees, and asked where the tea trees were dug up, and found a lot, because I was afraid that these tea trees could not adapt to the external environment, so our lord bought the hill. ”

Yun Rong didn't expect a tea tree to have such a tortuous situation, but it was interesting to listen to.

"Master Li is really discerning!" Yun Rong sighed.

Mrs. Li was very happy to hear Yun Rong's words, but she still had to be modest: "It's not discerning, but it's luckier." ”

Isn't it just a little luckier?

Yun Rong said again: "I heard Mrs. Li mention just now that Master Li is not a tea merchant, and now the tea merchant business is good, why don't you do it?" ”

Mrs. Li sighed and explained: "The tea business is indeed good, but it takes a lot of energy to serve the tea trees in the middle, and you also have to worry about the quality of the tea, and if the tea is picked, it is quite time-consuming and laborious to handle, and the transportation also needs to take a lot of risks."

Later, when I was young, I had some friendship with a foreign businessman, and once the man was in a hurry and needed to get rid of a batch of imported goods from overseas, and the master bought it at that time, and since then the family has slowly stopped doing tea business. ”

Yun Rong also said with emotion: "It turns out that there is such a thing, then again, is the business of this imported product easy to do?" I'm coming from the capital, although there are also shops there that buy imported goods. But look at the fact that there are not many things sold inside? ”

Mrs. Li said with a look of "you don't know this", "That's right, our side is close to the sea, so generally imported products from overseas will be sold in batches, and they can quickly get what they want by saving time and effort, so the things here are the most complete, and there are more types and styles."

It's good to be close to Guangzhou, after all, it's easy to transport, but like the capital, there are too many inconveniences in the transportation process, if there is an accident on the way, the whole value will be lost half, it is better to buy and sell nearby, and the safety is guaranteed! ”

Yun Rong said with a look of "so it is": "That's it! Hearing Mrs. Li say this, I am really interested in this imported product. ”

They all saw that Yun Rong's identity was not ordinary, and they knew that she was interested in imported products, so they began to talk about this aspect, besides, today's banquet had something to do with this aspect.

Mrs. Li: "If Mrs. Luo likes this imported product, there is one in the house, what Mrs. Luo likes, I will ask Mrs. Luo to bring a few things back when I go back." ”

Yun Rong naturally didn't want her things, and said with a smile: "Thank you Mrs. Li for your kindness, I just heard that imported products are very precious, and I am very interested in its origin, and there is no need to have good things, I am afraid that I will live up to Mrs. Li's good intentions." ”

Mrs. Li was not angry, and said very well: "Since Mrs. Luo wants to know the origin of this imported product, Mrs. Cheng knows more about it. ”

One of the ladies sitting below smiled and said, "Mrs. Li, don't hold me, I just have some understanding." ”

Then he looked at Yun Rong and said, "Since Mrs. Luo likes these things, then I will talk about it casually, and Mrs. Luo will take it as a pleasure." ”

Yun Rong said with a smile: "Since Mrs. Li has said it, if you want to come to Mrs. Cheng, she must be proficient, then I will listen to it." "Cool Literature

This Mrs. Cheng has some ways to know a lot about these things.

"I am married to an English merchant, and I have gone out with a merchant ship once, but I have not gone far, only a few things, and what I know is that these imported goods are from far abroad.

There are a lot of these imported products, just like our Qing Dynasty tea porcelain embroidery, very rare and common, overseas, our Qing Dynasty tea porcelain embroidery is very popular, can afford to use some aristocratic rich.

Therefore, most overseas businessmen will take out a large part of it in exchange for these things, return to their own country and sell them, they go to sea once, if they can return safely, they can basically be rich for a lifetime.

However, the sea is not particularly safe, out of the sea environment is harsh, there are many dangers, there are often pirates infested, bad luck, often die in the sea, which is why although the sea business is profitable, only some people dare to do a business......"

This Mrs. Cheng said a lot, and Yun Rong listened with a serious face.

Then I finally heard her talk about the specific situation on the ship: "...... Speaking of which, the environment on this ship is not particularly good, most of the ship are slaves, in order to ensure the normal operation of the ship, the captain will regularly distribute refreshing things to those slaves, I don't know what it is......"

Later, what Mrs. Cheng said Yun Rong couldn't hear very clearly, listening to what Mrs. Cheng said, Yun Rong suddenly thought of something that was absolutely refreshing and could also control people.

Opium.

OMG! Yun Rong really didn't dare to think, how could it be, how could opium appear at this time?

Yun Rong hurriedly came back to her senses and maintained her state until she left.

In the carriage on the way back, she was alone, and the smile on her face disappeared.

After returning to her residence, Yun Rong came to Yinzhen's study.

Everything that happened at today's party was relayed to Yinzhen, so Yinzhen must have known about it.

"You already knew?"

Yin Zhen shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, because I don't dare to think about it in this way, after all, it's not a good thing." ”

It's really not a good thing, but Yinzhen still thought about it.

It is really opium that impresses Yinzhen deeply, the Forbidden City was attacked, Yinzhen met men and women who smoked opium when he was wandering outside, and he was really willing to do anything for opium, and described as withered, looking like a person without bones, lying crookedly in the big smoke house, drunk and dreaming of death, and the result was indeed dead, and no one was willing to accept even the corpse.

"Now that it's confirmed, what are you going to do?"

What to do?

Naturally, this thing should be strangled in the cradle, and this kind of harm is really not shallow.

Yin Zhen said very seriously: "This thing would rather be killed by mistake than let go, if someone dares to touch it, or use it to do evil, it will inevitably be crushed and ashes will be scattered." ”

It's no wonder that Yinzhen is like this, it's not an exaggeration to say that this thing can be said to be a tool of the Republic of China.

Yun Rong saw it with her own eyes, although she knew the dangers of opium, she was a little more rational than Yinzhen, who was angry now.

"Don't be angry, there is no concrete evidence to prove the harm of this thing, and according to today's purification technology, compared to the opium used to control slaves today, it is not to the extent that people are willing to do anything."
