Tao Ziyun walked back and forth in the room with a heavy heart.

He Renzhi sensed the severity of the matter, and he silently walked to the desk by the window and sat down on the chair there.

He Renzhi was thinking that Sang Benyuan's business with that foreigner was not in line with the laws of the Qing Dynasty: "Opium is like salt, which can only be sold by the government, not ordinary merchants?"

Tao Ziyun sternly told He Renzhi: "What's more! Nowadays, the land of the Qing Dynasty does not allow foreigners to transport goods to sell, and the important thing is that opium is harmful to the human body!"

"That's a harmful thing! What should I do?" This situation made He Renzhi feel helpless.

Tao Ziyun replied firmly: "If it violates the laws of the Qing Dynasty, don't let them continue to do it!"

"Don't you cure their crimes?" He Renzhi asked Tao Ziyun tentatively.

Tao Ziyun nodded: "I've thought about these. Because, in today's world, Sang Motoyuan and Xie Fujun can turn animals into people, but they can't turn people back into animals, and Ma Jianzhe can turn people into animals, but they can't turn animals back into people. We have to unite Sang Motohara to deal with Ma Jianzhe's evil arts. After all, we are more familiar with Sang Motohara, and we have no friendship with Ma Jianzhe, and the first thing we have to guard against is Ma Jianzhe. As long as he is dissuaded from doing opium and salt business, forget it, and there is no need to beat them to death with a stick. ”

He Renzhi already felt the same way: "It's okay, in fact, I don't want to see them in prison." We try to convince them as much as possible. ”

"So what are they doing now?" Tao Ziyun obviously wanted to know if it was the right time.

"When I came to you and knocked on the door, they had already entered the room, and by this time they were probably asleep. He Renzhi felt a little embarrassed, but he still asked Tao Ziyun, "Do you want me to call them up?"

Tao Ziyun felt that it was not appropriate to act rashly, so he asked He Renzhi in advance: "Where are they going to go tomorrow?"

He Renzhi replied truthfully: "Because they have something to do today, I couldn't really invite them to play." As promised, I'm going to take them out for a couple of days. At my insistent request, they promised to let me have a successful treat tomorrow and have a good time with me. ”

Tao Ziyun immediately decided: "In that case, don't go to them and talk about these things now, telling them these unpleasant things late at night will make them disgusted." ”

Seeing that the matter was over, He Renzhi got up and said goodbye: "Okay, then I'll go back to my room to sleep, we ate dinner with foreigners in the church, and we drank foreigners' red wine together." The head is a little dizzy. ”

Tao Ziyun hurriedly retained He Renzhi: "Don't worry about sleeping first! Let's take care of tomorrow's affairs!"

If you want to discuss tomorrow's things, He Renzhi also thought of the problems he will face tomorrow. He invited people to play, he wanted to know where to invite others to play, he didn't care whether Tao Ziyun knew it or not, so he threw the question to Tao Ziyun: "Then you say, where can I go with them tomorrow?"

Tao Ziyun is a person who has traveled from modern times, and of course he knows where to have fun here. When he saw that He Renzhi sat back in his chair and the questions he asked were so easy to answer, he sat down leisurely on the edge of the bed. Without thinking, he told He Renzhi and said: "First go to the Tengwang Pavilion to climb high and look far away, and then go to Poyang Lake to take a boat to cruise the lake, and drink and feast on the lake, that is a happy and romantic thing in life! That is, Changnan Town in ancient times. Therefore, foreigners call us China, which is 'Changnan' - porcelain. Because the porcelain in Changnan Town has been famous since ancient times, the country of Crow created a word called 'Changnan', which is used to mean 'porcelain'. ”

"Okay. Brother Yitao. The plan is stopped, and tomorrow there will be a chance to persuade Master Sang and them. He Renzhi felt that it was really the car that met the road before the mountain, and thought of this scene. Drunkenness came flooding up, and he yawned and thought about going back to his room to rest.

"Don't be too busy dozing off, there's something else that has to be discussed. Tao Ziyun unceremoniously drove away He Renzhi's sleepiness, "You see that Sang Benyuan and they have been busy all day, and they haven't made it clear what they are doing today, how can it be regarded as a stoppage?"

"That's just as well. He Renzhi rubbed his eyes, and said to Tao Ziyun in recollection: "That's the case, after Master Sang saw the foreigner's goods, the foreigner sent coolies to load the barrels containing opium into the carriage and send them to the Wuji Inn opened by Master Sang many times. In the meantime, the foreigner and Master Sang continued to discuss ways to do business in the future. The foreigner said that he would buy a lot of porcelain and silk and go back to the country of crows, and when he came, under the pretext that foreigners were accustomed to drinking foreign wine, he would bring opium in barrels in the name of bringing foreign wine to the priest of the church. The opium was sent to the inn, and then transported from the inn to various places and sold secretly. ”

Tao Ziyun asked He Renzhi suspiciously: "That's their method now, they used to talk about this deal, what happened?

"I've also heard them talk about this vaguely, saying that they want the government to do this business with them. Under the care of the government, it is much more convenient to do business. However, the local government did not care about anything and had no intention of participating in the business, so they had to carry out the business privately. He Renzhi tried hard to recall the conversation between the foreigner and Sang Benyuan, and secretly rejoiced that he could still answer Tao Ziyun's question.

"The foreigners are really cunning, and they think that our porcelain is good, so they buy porcelain and sell it to make money, so in this best and most famous place where porcelain is produced, it is necessary to take advantage of the local government to do this kind of opium business for the pit people. It's a pity that the local governor is not on the road, and the new governor Huo Mogui is not pleasing on both sides. Tao Ziyun said, letting out a sneer.

He Renzhi was also happy when he thought about it: "Haha, this is the disaster brought to the new governor Huo Mogui by the fame of local porcelain! Foreigners came to this most famous porcelain producing area to buy porcelain, and they also brought the most famous opium in their crow country, and if they wanted to sell opium conveniently in the local area, they wanted the local officials to join the charge, and even wanted to get the opportunity to sell and buy opium publicly. As a result, Xie Fujun failed to help the foreigners do it, and Sang Ben turned out to be unable to do it, so he had to make a secret deal with the foreigners. Because of Xie Fujun and Sang Benyuan, they brought you here, Brother Tao came out and made them look good. ”

Tao Ziyun said soberly: "This matter is not simple, only be cautious." He persuaded Kuwamoto to stop selling opium and salt and return the opium to foreigners. In addition, ask foreigners to take the opium away, and stop bringing opium to harm others. If you don't handle it properly, you will make a big mess in the world. ”

He Renzhi nodded in acceptance, and pulled the foreigner to come: "Think about the foreigner's behavior is cautious." At dinner, the foreigners poured red wine from the barrels, and it turned out that some of the barrels were filled with real wine. We need to be more cautious than they are. ”

Tao Ziyun said solemnly: "From tomorrow onwards, we will have to be more cautious than foreigners. Tomorrow, first persuade Sang Motohara to reconcile and convince the troubled king!"

"I see. He Renzhi nodded, listening to Tao Ziyun say so much, it was strange that he didn't understand.

"Got it, go back to your room and go to sleep. Tomorrow when the opportunity comes. Tao Ziyun said, and he lay down on the bed first.

"Well, it's a bit complicated. Tomorrow, I must make Master Sang and they want you to go with them. Before He Renzhi returned to his room, he expressed another wish of his.

"Let's, let's, just right, tomorrow let you show your intelligence, and see how you can make Master Sang and them come forward and ask me to go with you to play. Tao Ziyun was amused by He Renzhi's wish.

The next morning, He Renzhi woke up Tao Ziyun early, and the two of them slowly washed by the well, waiting for Sang Motoyuan to reconcile and annoy Jun over.

Sang Benyuan and Jie Fujun finally came over, and He Renzhi shouted at them: "Master Sang, Brother Jie, you have opened a shop here, do you know where to go?"

Xie Fujun and Sang Benyuan glanced at each other, and Xie Fujun came forward and said: "I'm ashamed, I've been working hard here, and I don't have time to go out to play in the mountains and rivers, I really don't know where it's fun." Master Sang didn't spend much time here, and he didn't know much about it. ”

Sure enough, as He Renzhi expected, he couldn't help but smile lightly: "Haha, it seems that only Brother Tao knows." ”

Sang Motohara and Annoyance looked at each other, and then Sang Motohara said, "Lord Tao only knows! ”

Xie Fujun said to Sang Benyuan: "Yes, Master Tao can also go, He Gongzi has whetted our appetite." ”

Tao Ziyun replied casually: "First of all, I want to say, here, it is the location of Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital, and the porcelain is the most famous, so you have to go there." (To be continued......)
