"Your Majesty, do you need Weichen to send someone to supervise this matter, and find the ...... as soon as possible before the snow falls in winter?"

Yang Shiqi suggested that now that autumn is deep, it will not take many days for winter to begin, and this kind of opium poppy in the north may already be there, while in the south, there may still be places to grow.

If the search is intensified, many people should be found.

"You can't rush these things!"

Zhu Gaofu shook his head, the local officials' methods of handling cases, if things are okay in normal times, if the above requirements are urgent, then it will inevitably implicate most innocent people!

"Now it's a bit of a startling of grass, and they can't find a place to plant it, but it's okay, they won't dare to plant this crop in the spring of next year!"

"The most important thing now is to pay attention to farming, but don't disturb the local people's harvest next year because of these things!"

Zhu Gao's purpose can be regarded as achieved in disguise, although he can't entangle those Yan family's henchmen, as long as he can deter them, so that those people don't dare to plant poppies.

"Your Majesty, is that the end of the matter?"

"No, I want to step by step in the world, anyone who grows poppies, less than three, not guilty, more than three and less than ten, once found by others, each will be fined one or two silver, and the whistleblower will be fined one-third of the fine!"

"If there are more than 10 and less than 30, the fine has been terminated for a long time, and these poppy people will be beaten with 30 boards and put in prison for a month!"

"If there are more than 30 or less than 100, it will be three to ten years in prison!"

"In the past, send the frontier, or behead the public!"

If the cultivation of opium poppy forms a stable pharmaceutical trade, the benefits it brings are very considerable for the farmers who grow it!

So even if you know it's risky, you can take a risk to terminate, but what if the risk far outweighs the benefit? Who would take a risk?

Each opium poppy is fined one tael of silver, and if it is sold for one tael of silver to make medicine, I am afraid that more than ten opium poppies will be consumed.

Even the income of the whistleblower is much higher than its own black value!

The money is small and the risk is extremely high, who would take that risk?

Unless it's the ones who don't want to die!

And now those who know the role of the poppy, except for themselves, Su Wu and Yang Shiqi, are the only ones left who are high-ranking members of the Yan family!

"In this way, I'm afraid that the whole country will avoid such a thing as poppies!"

After hearing this, Su Wu couldn't help but sigh that His Majesty's hand was really ruthless enough, and it directly cut off the poppy's way of life in Daming!

"Is it just such a draconian measure, will it backfire?"

"Or will it arouse the minds of some corrupt officials in the local area?"

A poppy is a tael of silver, if this is a blame......

Su Wu felt that it was inappropriate in his heart, and the law was a little too strict.

"It's not strict, you haven't seen his power!"

Zhu Gaoyao knows very well the power of this big smoke in later generations, and he can even corrupt a powerful country!

Therefore, for this kind of thing, it is not too strict, especially since they are still in the embryonic stage and have not developed in a big way, so it is particularly important to cut them off at the source!

"In addition, pharmacies and pharmacies can purchase from the government in small quantities, about ten cents or two."

There is a clear official price, and the profits from growing this thing will naturally be gone.

"That's good!"

The Xiaoyao Pill is powerful, Su Wu has seen it with his own eyes in western Sichuan, and it can make a group of outlaws fight desperately, even kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and kill each other, just to fight for a Xiaoyao Pill that can give them short-term pleasure!

Your Majesty should have done this to completely eliminate the appearance of this kind of thing.

has reached the point where he would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let go of one.

However, there may be a lack of means to distinguish opium poppies in the localities, and in the initial stage, it is possible to establish many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

"Then Weichen will let the image of the printed poppy be published and spread to every corner of the Ming Dynasty."

"Well, I also hope to teach the people to know this kind of thing first, and issue this decree until the beginning of spring next year!"

And things like big smoke should never appear in the cause of the people.

"In addition, how far has the road built by the Ministry of Industry has been repaired now?"

The wide bluestone road can increase the marching speed of the army by at least 50 percent, and at the same time, it can also pave the way for the appearance of various automobiles in the future.

"In response to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry started construction a month ago, but the materials and manpower consumed to make this kind of road are really huge, even if a large number of soldiers are mobilized as laborers, it is only from the capital to Tianjin Port!"

Due to the appearance of Zhu Gao, there was no sea ban in the Ming Dynasty at this time, and there were countless ships coming and going by sea.

In the previous year, the total amount of grain, grass, weapons and weapons transported by sea even exceeded the total amount of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal!

That's a staggering number!

If this continues, then the diving river transport will gradually fade out of the stage of history, and the real deep-sea freighter, from now on, will become the mainstream of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaoyi thought about it, and he couldn't wait to drive these ships to Europe.

Aren't they still medieval? Smash their country directly with iron guns and cannons!

It's just that now the strength and economy do not allow it, and it will take a while to endure.

"If half of the country's army is mobilized, can we build this road to Liangzhou before the spring of next year?"

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the money and supplies consumed on the army were innumerable, and the number of troops reached a rather terrifying level.

"This, if the materials are sufficient, may really be able to do it before the spring of next year!"

They did not use the army of the capital to build the road from the capital to the port of Tianjin, but only let the defenders of Tianjin Wei participate in the construction.

In just one time, it has connected Beijing City and Tianjin Port.

If the whole country really wants to build a bluestone road, then this speed will at least increase by more than ten times, or even twenty times!

"Good!"

Zhu Gao's face was happy, but this speed was still too slow, much worse than those asphalt asphalt roads in later generations.

However, bitumen is composed of heavy hydrocarbons and super-heavy hydrocarbons, and only those very viscous foods contain large amounts of bitumen!

Although Zhu Gaojiao knows how to mine and how to refine, he can at most refine some light crude oil with the existing technology, and this kind of heavy crude oil is not extracted by current means, at least it needs to experience the production capacity and technology after the first industrial revolution!

Whew, sure enough, it's easier to build railways and trains! (End of chapter)
