Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 407 No Smoking
After receiving the emperor's oral order, the Sixth Ministry of the Cabinet and the Minister of Honglu Temple hurried to the Qianqing Palace.

As always, Zhu Youjian still summoned the ministers in the imperial study.

After everyone entered the imperial study room, they immediately stepped forward to salute:
"Weichen see Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly:

"Dear dear ministers, please give me your seat without courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

After thanking you, the ministers carefully sat down on the chair with half of their buttocks.

They dare not sit down because they have to get up to answer questions at any time.

Sun Chuanting's ability is indeed much stronger than that of Li Banghua. After he took office as the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet, in addition to resolutely implementing the emperor's will, he also had some of his own national governance plans.

Not only is he honest and self-disciplined, but he also strictly requires all officials and local officials to lead by example, to make his own contributions to the people and to Ming Dynasty, and let Daming embark on the road of rapid development.

After everyone was seated, Zhu Youjian was still thinking about the problem and didn't speak for a while.

Sun Chuanting cupped his hands and asked:
"Your Majesty, I don't know what orders you have for summoning the ministers and other officials?"

Sun Chuanting's questioning brought Zhu Youjian back from his thoughts, and his expression gradually became serious.

With the change of Zhu Youjian's expression, the air in the entire imperial study room began to freeze, and several ministers felt a little trembling all over.

Zhu Youjian glanced over their faces one by one before slowly opening his mouth:
"Are there any smokers among you? Tell me the truth."

Hearing the emperor's words, the ministers felt a little more relaxed. It turned out that it was not because they did something wrong that the emperor was angry.

Sun Chuanting clapped his hands and reported:

"Your Majesty, I don't have that hobby, and I don't know if anyone among my colleagues smokes."

Then all the officials at the scene stated that none of them smoked tobacco.

This made Zhu Youjian's face turn from cloudy to clear. It turned out that the smoke and soil had not corroded the main officials of the DPRK and China.

A moment later, Liu Lishun, Minister of Honghe Temple, bowed to salute:
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, there are still some smokers in the court, because Daming has no regulations prohibiting smoking tobacco, so they are not considered to be violating the rules."

Of course Zhu Youjian knew what Liu Lishun said. He nodded and said seriously:
"As for tobacco, I will not ban it, but not tobacco, it must be strictly prohibited, and no one can get involved."

"The imperial court will issue a decree as soon as possible. All tobacco trading and smoking are prohibited in the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who violates it will be severely punished."

"If anyone engages in the tobacco business, including officials, nobles, vassals, and gentry, all benefits will be cut off and beheaded for public display."

Common people Shanggu generals, soldiers, etc., if they are involved in the sale of tobacco and soil, they will be executed without mercy. "

"From the date of the promulgation of the decree, the official smokers will reduce the officials to the people, the nobles and vassal kings will cancel their titles and lands, and the gentry and common people will take back their land."

"Da Ming will never give Yantu any room to live. After you go back today, you will immediately draft a decree, and the ban on smoking will be issued within three days."

…………

"hiss……"

Zhu Youjian's words made Daming's important officials gasp.

The ministers didn't understand what it mattered to smoke some tobacco, as long as they had money, the court didn't have to care about them at all.

Anyway, those who smoke tobacco are either rich or expensive, and they don't care about the money at all because they have a lot of money.

But how did the ministers know the real harm of the smoke and soil.

If they knew that the demise of the Dongyao regime was inextricably linked to Yantu.

If they knew about these smudges, they would eventually turn into silver and flow out of Daming.

Having experienced the extreme lack of money before the seventeenth day of Guo Chongzhen, the ministers would not have any resistance to the emperor's decision.

Several ministers looked at each other and wanted to persuade the emperor, but they dared not speak first.

Zhu Youjian looked at a few of them, and saw that their eyes were rolling around, and they all looked hesitant to speak, and immediately guessed what they were thinking.

Zhu Youjian is not the kind of emperor who doesn't let ministers speak. Under normal circumstances, he will listen carefully to ministers.

As for whether he will adopt the minister's suggestion, that is Zhu Youjian's own business.

Zhu Youjian tapped on the table lightly with his fingers:

"My dear friends, you have something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Ni Yuanlu cupped his hands and said:
"Qizou Your Majesty, I feel that this sentence seems a bit too severe, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Fan Jingwen cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, my minister seconded the proposal."

Meng Zhaoxiang:
"Your Majesty, there are many honorable gentry smoking cigarettes. If according to what you say, many families will be ruined. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian couldn't help frowning:

"Oh, from your point of view, this matter will involve a lot of people, right?"

The ministers hurriedly replied:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is true."

Zhu Youjian ignored them, but instead looked at the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet and Minister of the Ministry of War who had been silent.

"You two loves, do you have any opinions on this?"

Sun Chuanting, the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet, and Sun Cheng, the minister of the emperor's military department, hurriedly stood up and saluted:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I don't know much about this matter, and I dare not have any opinions. Since Your Majesty is wise and powerful, there shouldn't be any problems. I will carry it out resolutely."

Zhu Youjian wanted to say, seeing how well these two cooperate with me, the historical figures summoned by the system are more useful, but unfortunately the system cannot summon historical figures for the time being.

Otherwise, I will call Zhang Juzheng, Yu Qian, Wang Shouren, Wei Zheng, Di Renjie and others to govern the country for me, then I will be a hand-off shopkeeper.

In fact, Zhu Youjian knew very well that Ni Yuanlu, Fan Jingwen, Meng Zhaoxiang and others were all loyal to Daming.

They are not like those clear streams in the past, neither for their own benefit, nor to protect some people.

They mainly think that the court has killed a lot in the past two years. As long as the crime is not extremely heinous, there is no need to kill people?
However, Zhu Youjian is very clear about the harm of Yantu to the Eastern Captivity regime, and it can be said that he can still vividly remember it.

Zhu Youjian is determined that no one can change their minds.

Zhu Youjian knew that the ministers did not understand the dangers of tobacco, so he decided to popularize it for them.

"My dear dear ones, once this thing is addictive, it is very difficult to quit, and it is very harmful to people.

After smoking tobacco, it can cause euphoria, inability to concentrate, and dream phenomenon, leading to a high degree of psychological and physical dependence.

After long-term use, withdrawal symptoms such as drug craving, restlessness, tearing, sweating, runny nose, irritability, trembling, chills, chills, anorexia, constipation, diarrhea, body curling, and cramps will occur if you stop using it for a long time.

Excessive use can cause acute poisoning. Symptoms include coma, respiratory depression, hypotension, small pupils, and severe respiratory depression leading to death.

Soldiers who smoke will lose their combat effectiveness, and officials who smoke will make them unable to concentrate on doing things, and even induce corruption and ignore government affairs in order to buy tobacco.

After people smoked, they didn't want to work at all, and they would go bankrupt because of buying tobacco soil.

Daming has just embarked on the path of normal development, and I will never allow the existence of Yantu.

Don't you talk about too much involvement, have you forgotten that the rogue bandits almost overthrew my country?

There is no room for negotiation on this matter. If they want to survive, they must strictly abide by the laws and regulations of Ming Dynasty.

Give you three days, the anti-smoking law must be promulgated, and it will be announced on the Da Ming Daily.

Otherwise, your positions can be replaced by someone else, and you all go to work on the farm for me..."
