Chapter 495: Anti-Smoking Pills Ruined the Opium Industry

Everything is developing in a good direction, and what makes Fan Ze happiest is the launch of anti-smoking pills, which really benefits a large number of people.

"Emperor, judging from what we have learned from various places, everyone supports the launch of anti-smoking pills, and many families have been rescued again." Xiao Shanzi looked at Fan Ze with respect, knowing that the current situation was that opium sales were shrinking.

Fan Ze's heart moved, and he asked, "The amount of opium coming in from overseas has decreased?" ”

"Yes, opium is no longer available overseas, and a large number of people who have taken anti-smoking pills have stopped smoking opium, and many people who have hoarded a large amount of opium have lost money."

"Since that's the case, you can arrange for the refining technology of our anti-smoking pill to be passed on for free."

"Emperor, this is also a matter of money, although our price is already the cheapest, but there are many people who can't afford to buy, and there is a considerable amount of income every day."

Fan Ze knew in his heart that he had come here to earn merit, but making money was secondary, and now in addition to China, there were a large number of opium smokers abroad, and if this production technology was passed on, he would still be able to get a merit from it.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this thing should be done, even if there was no merit, it didn't matter, anyway, I made a lot of money in this matter.

In a residence in the capital, many opium sellers arrived, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking.

Sitting in the middle was a Westerner, his gaze on everyone, and he said in a very jerky Chinese dialect: "You are all our agents, and you have benefited greatly from the opium trade, and now I have just received news that Your Majesty the Emperor is about to teach you the technology of producing anti-smoking pills for free." ”

Rumble......

Everyone looked at this foreigner in shock.

You must know that the stores that belong to the government now sell them have no way out, and if they teach production techniques for free now, I don't know how many people will learn it, and there will be no overseas markets by then.

"How can Your Majesty do this, this is going to cut off our way!" Some people who understood exclaimed.

"If your majesty is allowed to teach, not only China, but also the opium industry around the world will be hit hard, do you know what the consequences will be? This is to completely cut off our opium industry! ”

A businessman smiled wryly and said, "What else can we do?" ”

Yes, what else, that's the emperor's will.

"There are too many people profiting from the opium trade, everyone should take action, we must completely destroy this technology, so I think it's time for your emperor to change it."

Seeing that everyone was still worried, the foreigner smiled: "Do you know, this has touched the interests of too many countries, especially the British, they dumped a large amount of opium, and the benefits will be greater, and they have long wanted to use force to open the market of the Qing Dynasty, so now you only need to cooperate, a powerful fleet is coming towards the Qing Dynasty, what you have done is to use your strong influence to incite riots in various places and help the British coalition to attack." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, their faces finally had joy.

"Didn't the British fleet get struck by lightning last time?" Someone still hesitated.

"It's just a natural disaster, an accident, besides, that fleet is very small, and it doesn't have much strength, this time in addition to the battleships, there are also troop carriers, and a coalition army will come together, I believe that under the new weapons, those cold weapons of your Daqing Dynasty will have no resistance."

"Great, if that's the case, we can get rid of all the non-smoking shops everywhere."

"No, no, there is no need to scrap it, you can raise the price to the point where everyone can't afford it, and then the feeling of opium smoking attracts a large number of people to smoke, and the anti-smoking pills can relieve that addiction, and you can make money."

Everyone's eyes are bright, this is a kind of monopoly, only in this way, will make more money.

"We'll do our best to cooperate."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

What they didn't know was that when they discussed here, Fan Ze had already obtained the entire content of their discussion.

Looking at the news that came, Fan Ze also smiled, what he was waiting for was those people to do it, not to break or stand, Fan Ze has never been able to find an excuse to make trouble, if someone does something, he will be able to kill a batch, it is best to kill the old landlords and gentry and the like, so as not to affect their own development.

Looking at Soler, Fan Ze said, "I don't need to say what to do, right?" ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, you will definitely get things done."

Fan Zee is still satisfied with Soler's execution, they are the ones who know best what they want to do.

Looking at the content of the information again, Fan Ze said to himself: "It's another fleet, and I don't know how many will be able to come this time." ”

Fan Ze had already thought about it, the biggest reason why the Western powers were able to invade was that they were able to transport their troops over, as long as they had their own existence, they would not be able to send people ashore at all, and there would not be so many things happening in the entire territory of the Qing Dynasty.

As for the small number of resisting forces, even if Fan Ze did not go out himself, just those armies from all over the country in his hands were enough to wipe them out.

What about those who went to Europe now?

Fan Ze thought of those people, and thought that the matter of communication really needed to be solved, and if according to the course of history, it would not be possible to have a telegraph appear until 1837, and he should let people study this thing first.

Thinking of this, Fan Ze figured out all the principles of the telegraph, and then sent them to the Royal Academy of Sciences, or let those people study them.

In fact, in addition to the Chinese in the current Royal Academy of Sciences, Fan Ze also got a lot of foreigners, and they themselves didn't know how to come to the territory of the Great Qing, and then they were discovered by the people of the Great Qing Dynasty, and in the absence of a source of livelihood, seeing that the Great Qing was willing to support the payment, they also entered the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Until this time, after enjoying the luxurious life of the Qing officials, they all made up their minds to develop here.

Now one of the biggest troubles for Fan Ze is the translation of European technical materials, so he is also constantly tinkering with the equipment in the portable space, and has upgraded the computing center, and the automatic translation system has also allowed him to get out.

Since the advent of the automatic translation system, Fan Ze has really been liberated, and more Western scientific and technological knowledge has been translated and sent to the Royal Academy of Sciences.
