Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 778

In a large shipyard in the UK, the only daughter of the owner Oxford suffered from a strange disease, pain all over her body, and often vomited.

He went to several clinics, but the doctors were helpless.

In the end, he paid a high price and entrusted someone to send him to Elizabeth Hospital, which is a high-end hospital that specializes in treating the royal family and nobles.

Ives is the best doctor in this hospital. He tried several herbal medicines, but they still didn't work.

Don't think that only Chinese medicine uses herbal medicine. Before the birth of chemically synthesized western medicine, the West also used herbal medicine.

Even animals know this. It is impossible for them not to know, but they are not as developed as China.

Such a great thing as my Huaxia Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs is unimaginable in the West.

Ives said regretfully:
"I'm very sorry, our hospital is powerless, you should go to other places to have a look!"

Eager to love her daughter, Oxford begged:

"Doctor, even if you can't cure my daughter, can you relieve her pain? As long as she is not in such pain, I can pay a high price..."

"I'm really sorry, there's nothing we can do, let's try another hospital..."

With no cure, Ives had to ask Oxford to try it elsewhere.

Oxford was very disappointed and walked out of Elizabeth Hospital with his daughter Newton.

On the way back, Oxford accidentally saw a clinic. He took his daughter into this clinic with an attitude of giving it a try.

It was Thomas's clinic that the father and daughter entered this clinic, and now Thomas has developed a serious dependence on opium.

At first he introduced others to go to Daming Fantasy Hall to enjoy, but he himself fell into it unknowingly and couldn't extricate himself.

If he hadn't relied on opening clinics to treat others to earn money and smoke opium, he would have quit clinics a long time ago.

How cool it is to lie in the opium hall every day, not only to be served by the little oriental beauty, but also to travel in a dreamlike fairyland.

Seeing two people coming in, Dr. Thomas rushed out to greet them. He didn't have such a good attitude before, and now he has no choice but to make money.

"Two, please come inside, may I ask what's wrong?"

Oxford pointed to his daughter and said:
"She is my daughter. She has been sick for more than two years. When she gets sick, she hurts all over her body and feels uncomfortable everywhere. But she can't find anything wrong with it, and there is no effective drug treatment. If you can cure her troubles, money is not a problem. .”

Thomas nodded:

"Oh, that's it, come and check."

There were no medical instruments at that time, Thomas just listened to her heartbeat, checked her pulse and so on.

It is true that no symptoms can be detected, Thomas shook his head and prepared to give up.

Suddenly he thought of the nobleman some time ago, who seemed to be a little similar to the girl's illness.

Before Thomas could speak, the girl suddenly convulsed, her expression extremely painful.

Oxford looked at it and said hastily:

"Doctor, you see that she is sick again, quickly find a way to help her, I can give you a lot of money..."

Thomas had a small piece of opium here, which he didn't want to take out, it was too expensive for most people to pay.

"I have a medicine that can relieve her pain, but it's very expensive..."

"Take it out quickly, it doesn't matter how much money you have..."

Hearing that there are medicines to relieve her daughter's pain, Oxford grabbed Thomas and begged loudly.

Thomas bought the plates for five sterling silver coins and used them himself a few times.

He decided to sell it for a high price:
"But it's really expensive, only a little bit, and you need two pounds of gold coins..."

He didn't dare to look into Oxford's eyes when he was talking, but Oxford took out a five-pound gold coin and slapped it on his table:
"Take it out, it's all yours!"

There is a large shipyard in Oxford, and there are gold coins at home, so I don't care about this.

When Thomas saw the five-pound gold coin, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took out a small piece of light yellow thing, which was soft to the touch and had a scent.

He soaked some opium in water for Newton to drink. Newton frowned and the taste was not very good.

"Come and sit down and wait!"

Thomas helped Newton sit on a nearby chair.

Strange to say, after about 2 minutes, Newton's pain disappeared.

It took a few days for her to recover from the pain before, and it would recur in half a day at most.

Today, it returned to normal within a few minutes. Oxford and his daughter were overjoyed. He was going to buy all the opium from Thomas for his daughter.

"Doctor, how much medicine is left, give it all to me!"

Thomas helplessly spread his hands:

"No more, I'll give it all to your daughter. If it takes two days, come back!"

"Okay, I'll come to pick it up in two days. This is the deposit."

Overjoyed, Oxford took out a dozen gold coins to Thomas again, and left with his daughter.

Seeing how generous Oxford is, Thomas thought of a possibility.

Since selling opium makes so much money, why does he open a clinic?Just turn the clinic into a smokehouse.

Thinking of this, Thomas immediately got up and went to the Daming Fantasy Hall.

He is a frequent visitor here, and the welcoming lady has known him for a long time. When she saw him coming, she hurriedly smiled and bowed:

"Welcome, sir, is it still the old rules?"

When he used to come here, he would play with Japanese beauties first, and then smoke opium.

"No, I want to see their boss."

"See the boss? That's fine, sir, wait for me to report."

The service attitude of Dongying beauty is very good, she immediately turned around to report.

Doctor Thomas is the third real guest of the smokehouse, and Baihu also knows him.

After being informed, he met Thomas in the reception room.

Seeing the white tiger, Thomas cut to the chase:
"Boss Bai, I want to turn the clinic into a smoke shop, but I have limited funds. I wonder if you can provide me with the supply of goods under the condition of paying a deposit."

Baihu was overjoyed to hear that a British person wanted to open a smoking den. This was a good opportunity for him to explore the British market.

Daming opened opium dens in Europe not for the purpose of making money, but to turn them into sick men of the West.

Thinking of the great entrustment of the emperor, Bai Hu said without hesitation:

"Yes, as long as you pay the deposit, we can supply the goods for you, and the price will be [-]% cheaper, giving you room to earn [-]% of the profit. If the number of customers reaches a certain number every day, we will give you [-]% of the profit..."

Thomas was so excited that he wanted to cry, and immediately thanked the white tiger.

In this way, the first smokehouse opened by the British was born...

At this time, except for the five tobacco halls in the UK, which started to get on the right track, the tobacco halls in other countries have also taken a turn for the better.

Three months later, the smoking halls in Daming had begun to fill up, and more and more British people began to lie on tatami mats and smoke.

A year later, more and more British and Europeans were conquered by opium, and even many soldiers entered the fantasy hall.

As more and more British people opened opium dens, many factory owners and workers also began to smoke opium.

Oxford's shipyard was almost paralyzed in order to smoke opium.

The British and European royal families had access to opium earlier because of their wealth, and almost half of them could not do without this magical thing.
