Chapter 642 You Lost This Game

"Mr Carl."

In the dim room, Huang Donghe lowered his head, looking at the photo of Marquis Karl, with a low expression, and murmured in a hoarse voice: "I may disappoint you, opium is something that cannot be banned.
"What may disappoint you even more is that I can no longer protect this land and people as I promised you at the beginning.
"They're... not worth it!

"From now on, I will only protect those who are worth protecting!"

After finishing speaking, Huang Donghe suddenly raised his head, the expression on his face has become extremely resolute.

He put away the photo of Marquis Karl, walked to the door in two steps, and pushed the door open.

The dazzling light shot into the room, dispelling the darkness in the room, and dispelling the haze in Huang Donghe's heart. At this moment, his fighting spirit was as fierce as the sun in the sky.

After several twists and turns, Huang Donghe came to a cafe, waved off the enthusiastic waiter, and sat directly opposite an old man by the window.

It was a blond old man with stories written in the wrinkles on his face.

He looked at Huang Donghe who was sitting opposite without saying hello, and chuckled: "Mr. Huang is a busy man. Hundreds of thousands of smokers are waiting for your treatment. Why do you have time to drink coffee with an old man like me?"

"I have something to ask you, Your Excellency Piedman." Huang Donghe lowered his head slightly, with a respectful tone.

Yes, if Zhang Jichuan was here, he would be able to recognize this old man as Piedman who once fought against the Fire Demon King side by side with him.

The sixth grade is extraordinary.

"Please?" Piedman froze for a moment, waved his hands and said, "I can't do anything about my addiction to opium, Mr. Huang, I can't help you with this matter."

"Those addicted to smoking, I will cure them. This is what I promised Teacher Zhang Jichuan. But what I want to ask you for help is not this matter." Huang Donghe shook his head.

Piedman blinked: "That's it?"

Huang Donghe didn't reply right away, with a flick of his fingers, an invisible soul power was released, forming a simple barrier.

Then, he slowly said: "I want to rebel!"

"Are you disappointed?"

Pendeby, the palace, in Taisia's bedroom.

Taisia, whose hands and feet were bound, disheveled and pale, said to Zhang Jichuan in a weak tone: "But this is the expected result."

Zhang Jichuan didn't reply, just looked at the message sent by Zoya and others in a daze.

Taisia ​​didn't care whether he answered or not, and said to himself: "You held a huge event and used an incomparably vivid way to publicize the dangers of opium, but do you think that opium can be eradicated?
"impossible!
"It is undeniable that your move is indeed very provocative, but those who can be incited by you are all landless, sympathetic, and irrelevant people
"Those who really owned the land and planted opium, even if there was a slight touch in their hearts, under the temptation of Jin Tongbao, these touches were worthless!
"They will not give up the soon-to-be Jin Tongbao just because of a boring event, let alone give up a way to make money and live in poverty.

"In the final analysis, the most touching thing is the interest after all."

Zhang Jichuan still didn't speak.

Taisia ​​glanced at him again: "Zhang Jichuan, I know my father well, and he has already murdered you at this moment, once your whereabouts are exposed, he will definitely die.

"If you still want to leave the Nicholas Dynasty alive, I will let you go. In exchange, I can send you out of the country."

Zhang Jichuan finally responded. He looked away from the phone and stared at Taisia: "Your Highness, are the poppies this year almost ripe? I wonder if there are any poppies at this time?"

"???" Rao was astute as Taisia, but was taken aback by Zhang Jichuan's question.

What brain circuit is this?

Poppies?
What does he want to do?

Taisia's heart is full of question marks.

"It seems that His Highness doesn't know either." Zhang Jichuan said softly, "How about this, is there any opium plantation base in the suburbs of Panderby? Your Highness will accompany me to have a look. If there is any, we just happen to enjoy the flowers together."

Appreciation. Appreciation of flowers?

Taisia ​​shook her head instinctively, she was a majestic princess, and accompanied an unknown Zhang Jichuan to enjoy the flowers?What are you kidding?
But Taisia's objection was ineffective, Zhang Jichuan directly picked her up, then took out a piece of paper from the 'Pot Weng's Medicine Gourd', and activated the light escape technique recorded from Ms. Baiye, turning it into an imperceptible The light, mixed with the blazing sun, escaped from the palace.
About 10 minutes later, the two arrived at a farm on the western outskirts of Penderby. They saw lush poppies, and the summer wind blew up, creating layers of green waves.

Zhang Jichuan stopped the light escape technique on the top of a mountain and let Taisia ​​down.

Taisia's face turned blue and purple, and the 10-minute intimate contact made her angry, and also intensified the backlash of the "fragments of "The Analects of Confucius".

"Zhang Jichuan!" As calm as Taisia, after being 'tortured' for so many days in a row, he couldn't help but worry, "I'm going to have you skinned and cramped one day!"

"Heh." Zhang Jichuan smiled, pointing to the large expanse of poppies at the foot of the mountain and said, "Your Highness, can't such a scenery wash away your anger?"

Taisia ​​gritted her silver teeth angrily, and her chest heaved violently. She also knew that the anger at the moment was meaningless, so she forcibly held back after venting once.

She followed Zhang Jichuan's fingers and looked down the mountain, only to see that the poppies growing one after the other were tall, strong and full of vitality.Although the poppies have withered, but the poppies as big as an adult's head, there are many lines of different colors, which are really beautiful when they are put together.

Taisia ​​took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then said in a slightly mocking tone: "Well, it is very beautiful. But this scene must make you angry?"

To her surprise, Zhang Jichuan's thoughts wandered again, and he stared at the poppies in a daze, and said softly: "In my hometown, there is a well-respected old man who dreams of enjoying the shade under the heap.
"In order to keep everyone from starving, the old man has been working hard all his life. He is even studying how to grow food on saline-alkali land"

Taisia: "???"

She was confused again, what's all this mess?Under the grass to enjoy the shade?Isn't that easy (this world has super rice grown with extraordinary abilities, very tall)?Why dream?

Zhang Jichuan didn't answer her doubts, and continued: "Your Highness, do you think this scenery is beautiful? But I don't think so, I just think it's ugly and disgusting.

"What's really beautiful? It's the wind blowing the wheat waves high, and the fragrance of the rice flowers saying a good year.
"Your Highness, your country is very powerful. The fields, fields, and even barren slopes are all planted with opium. But in this season, the fields should be tall and straight corn, and the fields should be fragrant rice.
"You have such a good land, you can produce a lot of food, so that everyone does not have to go hungry, but you have all grown opium that is harmful to people.
"Your Highness, do you feel honored?"

Tessia fell silent.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that she opened her mouth to say: "The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world's hustle and bustle is for profit. This sentence in the extraordinary item '"Historical Records"" has already explained everything.

"Zhang Jichuan, I understand your starting point, but it still means that. Interest is the highest indicator for people to make choices. If you want to ban opium, it is tantamount to nonsense."

Zhang Jichuan waited for her to finish speaking before he smiled lightly: "Your Highness, survival is the highest criterion for people to make choices!
"Your father played a good game of chess. On the one hand, he weakened the strength of Gu Yue Kingdom with opium, and on the other hand, he made his own people earn money. But have you ever thought that once the opium cannot be sold one day? have gone out, and there is no food in your land, what are you going to do?"

Taisia's sapphire-like pupils shrank violently, and she thought of Zhang Jichuan asking Taisia's avatar to issue an order to stop buying food a few days ago.

This matter has been hanging in her heart, making her feel deeply disturbed, and now hearing Zhang Jichuan's words, she suddenly realized an extremely frightening possibility:
"Could it be that Gu Yue Kingdom wants to ban smoking?"

It was the first time Zhang Jichuan saw such a strong panic on Taisia's face, and this level of mood swings, even when he was "molested" by Zhang Jichuan.

Facing those blue eyes, Zhang Jichuan grinned: "Yes, Your Highness, the Gu Yue Kingdom is going to ban smoking, and it will be soon!"

boom!
This passage was like a thunderbolt, which shocked Taisia's mind. She remembered the burned granary in Mobile City, and instantly understood everything.
"Your Highness, you have lost this game of chess!"

July 7th in the Extraordinary Calendar, an ordinary day.

It has been several days since Panderby's live broadcast event, and the Internet has returned to calm, with a look of peace in the world.

But at this moment, a piece of news detonated the netizens of Gu Yueguo:

'Shock!More than half of the land in Xishan Province has been reduced to an opium plantation base! '

The source of the news is a particularly authoritative media, the news with rich pictures and texts, and a lot of videos attached, instantly caused an uproar in the various forums of Gu Yueguo:

"Damn it, all the opium has been planted in Xishan Province?"

"Who did it? I'm going to kill him!"

"Made, a group of unscrupulous profiteers, selling opium is not enough? They also want to grow opium in our country?"

"Depend on!"

"Come on, everyone, go and ask those nobles and officials why they allowed opium to enter our country."

"Yes, go question them!"

The protests were rolling like waves, unstoppable, and drowned all the official accounts of Gu Yue Kingdom. After Zhang Jichuan's live broadcast in Panderby, people's willingness to oppose opium was unprecedentedly high.

Among them, under Jiang Heng's personal account, the voices calling for him to deal with this matter were particularly fierce, because as early as a few years ago, Jiang Heng issued a policy prohibiting the use of any piece of land in Gu Yue Kingdom for growing opium.
