1850 American Gold Tycoon.

"If you really can't bear it, just take a sip."

Liang Weiming wiped the wet corners of his eyes, and handed the cigarette stick to Liang Shaochen.

Although Liang Weiming often scolded Liang Shaochen for being worthless and useless, he hated Liang Shaochen.

But seeing Liang Shaochen screaming and rolling all over the floor for several days in a row, Liang Weiming still couldn't bear to see Liang Shaochen suffer.

Liang Yao didn't have much deep father-son affection for this father, he just stood aside and watched coldly.

If Liang Shaochen's movements weren't too loud and disturbed his reading, he wouldn't even bother to take a look.

Compared with the wide variety of drug rehab methods in later generations, the methods of drug rehab in this world are very single, almost only one.

That is the natural withdrawal method, that is, to forcibly cut off the drug supply of the addict, so that the withdrawal symptoms will naturally subside and achieve the purpose of detoxification.

Lin Zexu also used this simple and crude method to help many addicts get rid of drug addiction when they banned smoking in Guangdong.

However, most of the addicts who use this method to successfully quit drug addiction are light smokers who have just started smoking and smoking for the first time.And there is no guarantee of 100% success.

And Liang Shaochen, who has smoked opium for several years, is obviously not a light smoker.

If he wants to successfully quit this addiction, he needs to endure more pain and have a stronger willpower.

Liang Yao didn't have too much expectation for Liang Shaochen's detoxification.

Liang Shaochen bit his lip and looked at Liang Yao, then at the cigarette stick in Liang Weiming's hand.

He resolutely patted Liang Weiming's hand away, and his eyes became firm.

Liang Yao and his future grandson have become Liang Shaochen's most powerful spiritual support for quitting opium now.

Liang Shaochen stretched out his hand to Liang Weiming and said, "Smoking Quit Pill!"

Liang Weiming sighed and took out a few smoking cessation pills from his bag.

Liang Shaochen took the quit smoking pill without hesitation and stuffed it into his mouth, but the quit smoking pill could not relieve his pain.

Liang Yao stepped forward, knelt down and supported Liang Shaochen, then turned to Liang Weiming and said, "Grandpa, get ready, let's board the ship and head to California."

----------------

It was already October 1855 when Liang Yao returned to San Francisco.

California's terrain is diverse, and temperatures vary widely from place to place.

For example, although the temperature of more than ten degrees in San Francisco makes people feel very comfortable.

But at this time, the temperature in the higher altitudes of the Coast Mountains is much lower, and the Sierra Nevada is now even frozen.

California's second-term gubernatorial election is over.

Not surprisingly, Fremont was successfully elected as the second governor of California when Liang Yao did not participate in the election.

Fremont is the founding father of California, and this military expedition to Borneo has greatly increased Fremont's reputation.

In this election, Fremont can be said to have the upper hand.

Not only the upper class in California supported Fremont's election, but the middle and lower classes in California, especially the old Californians before 1851, also supported Fremont's election as the second governor.

Fremont still has a high reputation in the eyes of these old Californians.

As for the former Governor Robinson, he went to Kansas.

Robinson once told Liang Yao that he would bring the influence of the Civic Party to other places, and Kansas was Robinson's first stop outside of California.

Liang Yao just felt that Robinson was a bit overwhelmed, and it was not a good place to go, but he chose to go to the powder keg of Kansas.

Liang Yao didn't understand Robinson's brain circuit, and he didn't think Robinson could achieve anything in Kansas, a place with simpler folk customs than California.

If you have the time, you might as well go to Oregon to do some business. If Oregon establishes a state in a few years, you can break Oregon's prestige again and become the first governor of Oregon.

However, everyone has their own aspirations, and everyone has their own pursuit. If you don't understand it, you don't understand it. Liang Yao still respects Robinson's choice.

After all, Liang Weiming was Liang Yao's grandfather, and Liang Weiming's arrival still brought quite a shock to California.

In order to welcome Liang Weiming's arrival, the upper class in California decided to hold a banquet to welcome Liang Weiming.

Since it was autumn, which was a good season for hunting, everyone unanimously decided to hold a picnic, which could not only hunt, but also eat meat and feast.

San Francisco is the earliest developed place in California and the most densely populated place.

The neighborhood is either a residence or a factory, or a factory or farmland. Even if there are some prey occasionally, they have already been beaten by local farmers and their hired workers.

Therefore, the location of the picnic was finally chosen in a forest in Fort Sutter, Sacramento.

Thousands of acres of land near Fort Sutter are Sutter's private domain, and no one except Sutter himself dares to hunt in Sutter's private forest, where there are more prey.

Sartre also sincerely invited Liang Weiming to visit Sacramento.

"Grandpa, we postponed the banquet in Japan, but we can't postpone the banquet in California anyway." Liang Yao said to Liang Weiming with a smile.

"Your grandfather and I are not unreasonable, but where is this Sacramento?" Liang Weiming asked curiously.

"I heard from Nasarte that his mountain forest is full of animals, and the sky is full of birds. The place where there are so many animals is also a very remote place with few people."

"Not far, Sacramento is only three or four hundred miles away from us." Liang Yao said.

"Not far from three to four hundred miles? Three to four hundred miles, even riding a horse would take two or three days." Liang Weiming frowned.

"We don't ride horses, Jinshan (San Francisco) and Sacramento are connected by train, and it takes only two hours to get to Sacramento by train from here.

You can take a good rest tonight, we will start again tomorrow. "Liang Yao told Taoyuan's servants to take Liang Weiming down to rest first.

A distance of three or four hundred miles can be reached in two hours?

Liang Weiming felt very unbelievable at this astonishing speed, and was very curious about what the train was that could run so fast.

Hearing that Liang Yao was going to Sacramento to attend a picnic, Kony came to Tingtao Garden to look for Liang Yao with two strange looking guns on his back.

As soon as they met, Kony asked with a playful smile, "Is there a picnic for this picnic?"

"What kind of gun are you carrying? A lever gun?" Liang Yao ignored Kony's joke, his attention was attracted by the two guns on Kony's back.

Looking at the appearance, these seem to be two lever-action rifles.

"This is the latest gun model produced by my company. How do you know it's a lever gun?" Kony was a little surprised. He unloaded the gun and put the two guns on the table.

"I heard that you are going to go hunting in Sacramento, and you must have a handy weapon when hunting. This is a handy shotgun that I specially prepared for you."

"I've seen the drawings of the lever-action rifles drawn by Walter." Liang Yao looked carefully at the two lever-action rifles on the table and said, "You want to take this opportunity to sell your guns? I hope I can place an order." ?”
