Thanks to the popularity of the first issue of the "Atlantic Daily", as well as the accusation of the retired non-commissioned officer of the Navy against Carly on the street on the riverside that day, many people who rushed to the streets to participate in the arrest were confused, what were they doing? For what?

Most of the common people must be in it for the money, otherwise who would do such a risky thing.

But is there anyone who really wants to contribute to the cause of prohibition? Absolutely! But it must be in the minority.

After this group of people became confused, their withdrawal was bound to bring this disunited 'militia' capture group to the brink of disintegration.

This is the magic of public opinion!

I have to say that Li Yaoyang's way is really good, making full use of the psychology of the drunkards, earning a lot of praise, and exposing the most sinister side of the prohibition group.

This wave is called a bird and two holes, and it is beautiful!

But will the anti-sharon coalition led by Wayne Wheeler sit idly by in the face of such 'sewage'?

Apparently not, they chose the same way to fight back in the press.

They seized on Lai's Chinese identity and lashed out at him, saying that he was the source of alcohol production and a cancer, hoping that the Prohibition Office would respond immediately.

Roy just wanted to smile wryly after seeing it: reaction? How else do you have to react? Lao Tzu went from New York to Atlantic City and then to Philadelphia, all the way like a fart, and the result?

"Atlantic Daily" immediately responded, the media are like this, not afraid of your response, no matter what you do, as long as you respond, it is a hot spot, it is traffic, continue to scold you for not negotiating, who said that black and red are not red?

First of all, the reporter clarified for Li Yaoyang, not only is he not a tumor, but also a philanthropist who is beneficial to this society.

At the same time, he used almost an entire page to list the list of poor students he sponsored, as well as the list of patients he helped treat.

At first glance, they are all English names, but if you look closely, you will find that all the surnames are very special.

There is no doubt that they are all Chinese, but any white person is considered a defection of Li Yaoyang.

But this matter can't be known to foreigners, so it can't be fried?

In short, first implement his philanthropist persona to win the sympathy of some readers.

Immediately afterwards, the reporter analyzed the origin of the prohibition from many aspects:

[The earliest Puritan immigrants laid the foundation of Anglo-Saxon culture in the Ugly Country.

The early immigrants lived a simple life, strictly observed religious rules and regulations, and absolutely forbade the consumption of alcohol.

But after one or two generations, a group of people who got rich first began to deviate from the rules and precepts of the Qing Dynasty, enjoy life, singing and dancing, and drinking wine is of course indispensable.

By the thirties of the 19th century, the per capita consumption of spirits in the Ugly Country reached 7.1 gallons per year, and since women and black slaves basically did not drink, the amount of alcohol consumed by adult men can be said to be quite staggering.

A small town of only 10,000 people in the western part of the country can have more than 500 taverns.

Of the 600 male convicts held in New York prisons 90 years ago, only 19 did not drink, and 200 of them were severely alcoholic.

Before and after the Civil War, industrialization and urbanization led to a rapid increase in spending power, and nearly 30 million immigrants from northern and southeastern Europe poured into the United States, further stimulating alcohol consumption.

From 1860 to 1880, the total investment in the brewing industry increased sevenfold, and the consumption of beer skyrocketed.

Industrialization has made it possible to produce beer on an assembly line, transport it on a large scale, and store it on a large scale.

In the late 19th century, beer became the most dominant alcoholic beverage, followed by whiskey.

Many old-fashioned elites and devout Puritans, who have long dominated mainstream public opinion, believe that alcohol is the root of all evil!

As long as no one sells alcohol, alcohol abuse can be effectively controlled, so as to alleviate social contradictions, improve people's mental outlook, improve moral standards, and then everyone will work together to build a better new society.

However, the new immigrants who came to the ugly country from all over the world have very different religions, races and customs, and they are not very interested in the set of rules and precepts of the old immigrants, and the pressure of survival is huge, and they are even talked about when they drink wine, which is simply inexplicable.

In the eyes of the old immigrants, these uncivilized and uncivilized outsiders are full of vices, and drinking alcohol not only desecrates their beliefs, but also easily creates hidden dangers to public security.

The prohibition of alcohol has essentially become a competition for the right to speak in society between new and old immigrants.

Since the twenties of the 19th century, civil society organizations have been emerging, and these civil society organizations have not only brought about the influence of social perceptions, but also directly influenced the direction of legislation through lobbying activities and other forms.

Not only has the prohibition of alcohol become a form of political correctness, but the growing prohibition group has also become a large vote base that politicians have to pay attention to.

This is how the original intention has changed! Prohibition of alcohol is no longer a demand, but a tool used by capitalists and politicians, a channel for people with intentions to vent their thoughts!

The people who sell alcohol are in crisis, and the crisis of one part is also the business opportunity of another.

Sixty years ago, a medicinal liquor infused with coca leaf became popular because it was extremely refreshing and highly addictive, and countless counterfeits followed.

Among the many knockoffs of varying quality, an imitation of Atlanta pharmacist John Pemberton stands out.

As a pharmacist, Pemberton blends more technical wines, and Pemberton is particularly good at marketing.

He said he added an African kola nut to his medicinal liquor, which can aphrodisiac, unblock blood vessels, treat neurasnia, and even help addicts quit duck tablets or alcohol.

This kind of health care product sales routine is very effective for the people of ugly countries who have just begun to become health-conscious.

As the Prohibition movement gained momentum, Pemberton was acutely aware of the impact that Prohibition could have on the liquor business.

So he went through many experiments to remove the alcohol from the product.

Since there was no more alcohol in the medicinal wine, it was natural to change the name, and Bloomton took inspiration from some of the ingredients of the drink and renamed it Coca-Cola.

Coca-Cola soon became a hit, and a business legend began.

But Coca-Cola's big sales cannot replace the special status of alcohol, and the power of prohibition and anti-prohibition is still in a constant game...]

As an aside, this little propaganda for Coca-Cola is actually a new attempt.

Originally, Coke wanted to advertise in the usual way, but the Atlantic Daily came up with a new way of working together, called 'implantation'.

As the name suggests, it is to implant the brand name in the article to achieve a subtle publicity effect.

Although it is a very new way of cooperation, Coke is not stupid, and you know what kind of effect this method can achieve when you hear it.

As soon as the advertiser is happy, then do you still need to ponder? Add money directly!

The father of the owner added money, and the newspaper was also happy, which would inevitably directly fill the effect.

Who would have thought that it was obviously a very offensive article, but it became an advertising advertorial.

This is called fighting and falling in love, both are *****!

【… Prohibition was in full swing, but it did not bring about the expected sharp decline in alcohol consumption and the improvement of people's spiritual and moral standards.

The initial results of Prohibition were evident, with 1921 and 1922 seeing a ninety-percent reduction in beer consumption per capita, a sharp decline in the consumption of spirits and wine, and a significant reduction in the number of alcoholism and alcoholism-related diseases.

However, it turned out that this was only a quiet before the retaliatory backlash, and the number of cases of illegal brewing that were publicly investigated and dealt with had tripled from 1923 to the present compared to 1910, and the number of people arrested for drunken disturbances increased from more than 300,000 to more than 500,000.

Due to the high threshold of equipment for brewing beer, most of the illegal liquor industry prefers to do spirits business, and the per capita beer consumption in the ugly country is 7% lower than that before the first stop, but the overall sales of alcohol have doubled.

Alcohol bans have not made the population healthier. It's harder to buy alcohol, and it makes a lot of people drink more violently, because you can't guarantee that you'll be able to drink it tomorrow.

Moonshine was rampant, quality was not guaranteed, and alcoholism increased dramatically.

Prohibition also did not make society more stable, and when the prohibition law came into effect in 1920, the homicide rate in the big cities of the ugly country was 6.8 per 100,000.

Now, three years later, that number has risen to 10 per 100,000.

Cases of drunken disturbances have skyrocketed across the country, and prisons are overcrowded, with nearly half of the inmates violating the prohibition law.

The only thing that seems to have been improved is the infinite creativity and tolerance of the masses for fake wine, and people have used their endless wisdom to take a sip of it, and sometimes they have to fight for their lives.

Since Prohibition allowed the use of distilled spirits for medical purposes, many people went to a doctor to prescribe medical whiskey.

Seven months after Prohibition, 300,000 fake prescriptions were issued in Chicago alone.

A businessman, while mastering the distillery to make liquor, and at the same time mastering the pharmacy as a distribution point, plus a little bit of supervision, quickly made a lot of money.

Savvy businessmen who do legitimate business have also come up with ways to exploit loopholes, such as selling raisins with yeast and putting a warm reminder on the outer packaging that if the package is placed in a sealed jar of a gallon of water for more than 20 days, you may be violating the prohibition law.

There are also people who use their brains on industrial alcohol, and a lot of raw alcohol brewed from corn or cassava is stolen and sold by the insiders of the alcohol factory.

It is not known how much liquor came out of this channel, but in 1920 the annual production of industrial alcohol in the country was 28 million gallons, which rose to 61 million gallons three years later.

Speakeasies run by private individuals or criminal organizations proliferated during this period, and people were silenced whenever they were mentioned, hence the name "whispering bars".

In order to further avoid the risk of violating the law, some people have invented a new form - putting some indiscriminate animals in the store and charging admission fees in the name of wonderful animal exhibitions.

Guests are offered alcoholic beverages for their pleasure when they go in – because the clever people who run such shops find that the law only prohibits manufacturing, transportation, and sale, and does not say that they are not allowed to possess or give them away.

These places are nicknamed "Pig Blind" or "Tiger Blind" by drinking friends.

The biggest offenders came from within the ZF, with alcoholic parliamentarians and officials in office. The wine never stopped.

Many politicians who openly support alcohol prohibition are secretly drinking friends.

As for the main force of law enforcement, the Prohibition agents, there is a shortage of personnel, a meager salary, and there is an opportunity to fill their own pockets.

Many of the agents who were physically and mentally exhausted from checking for moonshine during the day would sneak into an underground tavern at night for a drink.

Until now, Prohibition agents have semi-openly accepted bribes or directly extorted protection money, and even openly threw cocktail parties in the Prohibition Bureau's offices......]

Attached to the page is a candid photo, color, on which it clearly shows a group of Prohibition Commissioners in trench coats, drinking and having fun under the sign of the Prohibition Office, their silver smiles, appearing in the streets of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York.

This report effectively hit back at the 'anti-Sharon coalition' and exposed the hypocrisy of the Prohibition group.

The anti-liquor commissioners who appeared in the newspapers, the smiles of those who were happy were as good as the irony.

At least in the northeast of the ugly country, there was an uproar.

Countless marching groups have taken to the streets to protest Prohibition, and they are calling for severe federal punishment for those who violate the rules and knowingly break the law.

————————————

Philadelphia, Li Yaoyang is playing chess with Cecil, chess, of course, playing chess is one thing, the key is to talk about the current situation.

"Lee, the movement you made this time is too big, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you." Cecil's eyes were fixed on the chessboard, and he said things that had nothing to do with chess.

"What? Someone came to you to protest? ”

"Hmm... It's all fryers here in Philadelphia, don't you know? ”

"Hey~ I haven't even gone out, where do I know where to go?"

"Didn't go out?"

"Yes, I guessed that there was a lot of movement outside, so I have been in the villa during this time, eating, drinking, and beauties, and living a comfortable life."

"Hehe, you can think about it, but Lee, it's almost enough, the ban on alcohol is the general trend, no matter how hypocritical they are, it is impossible to repeal the clause in the short term."

Li Yaoyang glanced up at him, and quickly fell back on the chessboard:

"You're underestimating me too much, repeal Prohibition? Am I crazy? ”

"Huh?" Cecil wondered, "Isn't your goal to repeal Prohibition?" ”

"Of course not! In fact, the longer Prohibition lasts, the better it will be for me, don't you think that's true? ”

Cecil's mind turned, and he immediately understood his intentions:

"Indeed, then you are doing this purely to get revenge on Roy and the Anti-Dragon Alliance?"

"On the one hand, on the other hand, selling newspapers."

Cecil's eyes widened and he slapped his head hard:

"Why did I forget this stubble, the newspaper is yours."

"Hehe, bingo, the bigger this public opinion is, the more my newspaper will sell, congratulations to me, there have been 5 issues now, and the circulation has stabilized at more than 130,000, and my editor-in-chief told me that they have decided to open a weekend edition, double the price, and double the content!"

Cecil gasped:

"There are 130,000 circulation in just 5 issues?"

"This is still the sales channel has not been fully rolled out, give us a little more time, it is normal to break through 200,000!"

"200,000, crazy, crazy, the world is crazy, a new newspaper has a circulation of 200,000!"

He was really a little stunned, and was frightened by Li Yaoyang's words, which was completely unexpected by him!

After the excitement, he regained his composure:

"But you know, things can't go any further!"

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
